The South's Big Cities

One Of the interesting disclosures OF the census Is the
rise Of the souths leading cities in population. Industry,
such as steel in Birmingham, oil, as In Texas. river COM
merce, as in the case OF Memphis, and river and ocean
commerce, as in the case Of New Orleans, have combined
to develope the nine leading urban ccntcrs. 50 that they
now are of the quarter million size.
Ten years ago Dixie had only one city Boosting more
than a quarter Of q million inhabitants-Ncw Orleans.
But the march Of industry south Of the Mason and
Dixcn line had started. II has con~tinued-tsxtile mills,

Too Much Blood?
Question: H. D. asks: what can
q person do who makes blood too
fast?"
Answer: You need never fear you
will make too much blood, as long a.
1t Is good blood. The idea Of too
much blood originated in the middle
ages and Is stu believed in by some
physicians. At one time the practice
wa to treat everyone who was sick
by "blood-lettings." This relieves Ger
tain cases, such as those with high
blood pressure, because it simply re-
duces the pressure inside Of the
arteries. But even this method nov
seems foolish when 1t Is possible to
reduce the quantity Of blood simply
by cutting down the intake Of liquids,
and improving its quality by using
carefully selected food. I occasionally
hear Of some doctor who practices
blood letting, and this is perhaps ex-
cusable with the physician treating
high blood pressure cases II he does
not understand scientific dietetics.

Inequality
The mother of seven small children was arrested in
New York City the other day for operating a still. She
is in a police station cell; her month-old win daughters
are being cared for in a hospital, a Children's society has
two more and ~neightors are looking after the other three.
The still, a small one, had been in operation only a
few days. A city policeman made the raid efter a tenc-
ment inspector had discovered 1t.
Now a sob-sister could probably write quite a story
about this mother. But that isn't what we're trying to do
here. Our object right now Is to call your attention to
another incident that happened In the same city on the
same day.
While this wcman's still was being raided. a fire was
breaking out In q ~six-story warehouse In another part Of
New York. 1t was a disastrous fire, taking the lives Of
three men; and when the flames died down and the
firemen went into the ruins, they found that this ware
house had housed an enormous distllery-tne largest,
it is said, ever operated in New York since prohibition
went into effect.

A Dangerous Sport

The average man, whose experience with rotorboats
is limited to those comfortable picnic party craft that
cl1ug along placidly at about IL miles an hour, may find
ly injured when his ~speedboat capsized during a trial
run.
A plunge into the water from an ordinary boat means
nothing more than a wetting. But a boat travelling at
high speed is a risky proposition. Falling into the wa
ter from a boat going better than 60 miles an hour is
as injurious as falling on a concrete pavement at that
speed.
Major seeraves boat was dipping along at more than
100 miles m hour when 1t overturned. Driving a boat at
that clip is quite as dangerous as racing in an automobile.
The likabe majors tragic death emphasizes the fact.

The Solid South Again

The result Of the North Carolina primary evidently
indicates that the Solid South is apt to be with us for
some time yet in presidential years, despite the results
of 1923.
Party loyalty is still accounted a virtue there, as Sena-
tor Simmons learns. Quite obviously, those who we're
anticipating a new era for the Republicans in the Tar
Heel state will have to revise their notions.
The last presidential election serves notice that there
are one or two issues which can make the southern
Democracy mark Republican ballots. But when those
issues aren't present, anyone who looks for Republican
victories below the Mason-Dixon line is simply deluding
himself.

News dispatches filtering through from India Indicate
that spokesman for the British government have not
been entirely candid, to say the least, in declaring that
the present unrest in India is due chiefly to the d:seon-
tent Of small groups and that the nation as a whole is
not seriously involved.
The latest bit of news tells how two brigades of British
infantry are fighting with $4,000 natives along the north
western frontier. That hardly looks like a minor clash.
Numbers like that arc rather impressive. An affair of
that kind can be called a battle rather than a clash"
or a riot"
There is little reason to believe that Englands grip ON
India will be materially lcsscned by the present trouble.
But 1t is growing more evident daily that the upheaval
is a conflict of major proportions.
