pared with 1920 figures. The relative standing
of the first FOUR New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and
Detroit is unchanged, but Los Angeles jumps from

million, 38 with than quarter of million, and
SO with than 100000 Including the above there
are 361 cities with more than $4,000 population.

Lincoln and Stanton
r INCOLN'S reliance upon Stanton, his great Sec
/ retary of war, is well known. They did not al
ways agree, however, and Stanton seems to have
felt entirely free to oppose his chief upon occasion
Some official correspondence dug up by a writer
for the Boston Herald is remarkable for its lustra
tion of this point well being indication that
few words wasted by these giants in making
their respective views known. 1t seems that Lincoln
wanted certain appointed an Army chaplain.
Stanton objected with apparent success, the
pondence quoted indicates:
"Dear Stanton: Appoint this chaplain in the
Army. A. Lincoln"
"Dear Mr.. Lincoln: He is not a preacher. E. NJ
Stanton"
"Dear Stanton: He is "A. Lincoln"
Mr. Pint ic
E. M. Stanton"
Dear Stanton: Appoint him Chaplain-at-large
A. Lincoln"
"Dear Mr.. Lincoln: There is no warrant in law
for that. E. M. Stanton"
"Dear Stanton: Appoint him anyway. A. Lin
"Dear Mr. President: 1 will not. E. NJ Stanton"

The most banefu subject in America is the daily
greetings, "Hot enough for you?" "Plenty cold last
night, eh?" This furnishes the theme of the CONVEX
sation, which is developed to greater magnitude into
the various ramifcations concerning weather. After
enhancing the subject with their latest observations
they end up by agreeing that last night was the cold
