 Discuss China
 Chinese famine conditions and re- lief possibilities were discussed at the round table conference on The Far Eastern Situation" by Walter H. Mallory of New York, former executive sercetary of the China in- ternational famine relief commis- sion.
 MT. Mallory said he doubted if any permanent improvement of conditions" in China is now possible and pointed out that bumper crops tend to increase population rather than to improve the standard of liv- ing He said the population satura- tion point has been reached and it seems that only by some artificial control of the birth rate can China's food problem be solved" Birth con- trol, he said, would be difficult of attainment in view of Chinese so- Clal preCepts.

AND THE POOR

Tammary Gsr now .~ ra.. .r5ag urleks instead og noaqae,s from rav papers. ~yeo the Dsmooratl. pare-s: but raa present conditions ar. good for Tammauy in one respect.
 Reports from Now Yor, ar. 70 t1, aEect that ,ro Tammary poor lo. lief machine is working as eHGan,4. as ever in tho past.
 Here IS how # works:
 Every square mile. every block. in ;ha big city IS under tne surveillance Of some Tammaoy worker. They nave various names on tae rolls Of tba WigVam, and among them the precinct captains are important.
 The precinct captains and thcjr aids have the primary function ot bringing out the votes on election lar. and keeping track Of he voters between elections. They are always busy. and make more reports to headquarters than a corporanon sales manager
 Part of the racket IS 10 look after the poor. Just now there are several hundreds Of thousands Of unempIoy- ed voters in the Tammany kingdom. They are looked after most solicit ousIy. If it is impossible to get then. jobs, those known 10 be good Demo. crats are not allowed to starye.
 And especially is the aid munifi cent toward women and widows Even before women had the 1ot' this sort of aid was most effective.
 The neishborhood usually knows its widows and orphans. Let it be come known in the neighborhood that an automobile from Tammany called and left baskets of food, if not some money, and the knowledge be- comes general that Tam many is going to look out for the poor wom- an, and q batch of votes are made for Tammany. The hearts of the folks go out 10 the organization SO thoughtful as 10 help the needy ill their time of trouble.

WHAT LAND I> WORTH

Land. 90 ,, is said. is worth Nha, anybody will pay for it. That rule holds good .1 num6erlcss other mat ters hut we hapcn 10 be considering tho price Of land at the momen, not oranges or automobiles.
 After ii. war and during the post WAT hoom land in the United States wcnt 10 5ts highest peak of value. That meant that many farmers were wiling 10 buy more land a, high prices in Inc expectation Of paying for t' from ,he proceeds of the land adG.d 10 the proceeds Of other land taer tsrpsned 10 own. In the W,st hos~andy of farmers owning, say. -.o acres bought 20o additional acres. r.t their signatures on the morraga and then lived in a land os hope gnd dreams.
 O. coarse. the dreams didn't hap pen 70 coma true; and many Of these farmers wished they had never eo. tho inrraaeel land bug into their sys,ons Some Of them went broke; and many others also felt the effects Of approximation.
 Since l.-a the price o< western farm larIs has hscn steadily de cuaIn@. When the "hraak" came ill 1a-a ,, vas just as had 10 farmers as tho more recent stock break was to spectators. Whether one specu- latrs in land or n stocks 'hrcahs' arr alea., had.
 Land in Iowa and some other western states reached fantastic prices in 1920. T. was useless al the time for agricultural experts 10 point out that no era Of good farm prices could cy4r make it possible 10 pay the intersst charges on such high priced land; their words were re sardcd as coming from professors" who talked 'theory.' What the farmers paying fantastic prices ex- pccted Q do was to resell at higher pr,ces-iust like stock spectators do when the market is advancing
 The index in 1920 for land values was I7o; today the index is H. and . 1t IS still receding. That means heavy . losses for those who bought high priced land on borrowed money; and frozen credits" for many a rural bank. In the last eight years more 1 than 5000 such banks failed Small wonder that there had been an in sistent demand for farm relief" in ] tho western farming sections.
 But the western farmers who didn't bother about high financing in acquiring more land during the boom is still safe. He requires no i special farm relief.

New York, Aug. 2l.-Elderly la to grow old. In other years there was a conviction among women past GG that nothing mattered Their Ives seemed to congeal and they were seldom seen in public.
 They were Ghunted into inactivity through a general belief they had their day. This illustration was en- ccuraged by the majority who thought venerable women looked utterly foolish if not sitting com placently in corners with hands folded in their laps
 Today at the theater and opera women past GO and 70 and even so are seen in evening dress enjoying themselves They learned all of a sudden that stagnation was largely psychological instead of physio- logical.
 They attend bridge parties in the afternoon. dinners in bright cafes al night, and every supper club has a sprinkling of silver-haired ma irons who would have gasped at such didoes 20 years ago. These do not include foolish old ladies squired about by gigolos.
 Instead, the escorts are sons of grandsons who take deal of pride in the companionship. Save in tenement districts of the lower East Side. one seldom finds elderly wo- men conforming 10 that deCorum, molded by traditlon-blaCk honnets, black gloves and pcau de soire gowns.
 They dress as smartly as women in their 40's. One dressmaking ate Her caters especially to women past middle 2ge, and while there is a becoming austerity in the general effect there $ nothing 10 suggest chimney corner and slippers.
 For many years old people were mentally gangrened by being made to feel inferior. Last years became a erucifixion-the martyrdom of Icing tolerated. This was never so with New York's old boys who are always inclined to caper like colts, the rascals.

TINE most left-handed compli-

in my lap a day or so ago by Ted
Husing. Radios famous sport COM
mentator was amusing himself at a
late hour in an impromptu broad
cast, and, upon seeing me, he re-
ported an incident which occurred
in wellington, O.
According to Husing, he encoun-
tered 2 young woman in that city
who said to him: Il think Hey

And then he spoiled it all by
adding his own rejoinder, which
ran: "All right, let it go at that.

frankness in such matters. I've
always been against Judgment which

to accept regulation based solely on
