Fntnre nf the MetropoIis

In a recent number Of the American Mercury Dr.
Warren s. Thompson challenged our complacency IN
regard to the 100 per cent desrability Of mammoth
cities running into the millions in population.
He showed convincngly that the great city falls
down almost entirely the basis OF the human auolC
and fares badly even with respect to the purely
financial audit In short the metropolitan center is
ruinous to real living and far from as advantageous
II an economic sense as ordinarily supposed.
He now turns from analysis to prophecy in another
article on The Future Of the Large City" in the
latest issue of The Mercury. It is DR.. Thompson's
thesis that great cities were a logical product Of
past stage Of technology.
They were adapted to the age Of steam, limited
means Of communication and the inadequate trans
portation facilities Of the automobile era.
The great cities grew up in the age of steam power
Now steam can be produced most economically in
large units and not be transmitted directly over
any great distance Hence the work had to be carried
on in a place nearby. This meant the rise OF the
monster factory.
The undeveloped nature of the telephone made
communication difficult. Control and coordination
best could be exerted under roof Transportation
facilities we're limited so it hard to gather en-
ployes from distance. Along with this came the
"bigness bug" Of a new and developing country These
elements created the metropolis.
Great chronological changes have since taken place
We are entering the age of electrical power which can
be transmitted great distances. The telephone
Will allow of communication large distances with
no loss Of time and relatively slight expense.
The automobile and paved roads permit workmen
TO drive to factories from widely scattered homes
Hence the massing of the working population no
longer is at all indispensable from the purely economic
point Of view. Such massng never has been desirable
from human and social point of view.
Dr. Thompson predicts slow but certain process
Of devouton and decentralization. This will combine
sound economies with ability to realize decent and
human living conditions. We may escape from our
cages without losing our pocketbooks.
In the building of the new social and economic
order based on full of electricity and the gas
engine I believe that we may look for some great
changes in the structure of the large city of the fu
ture as compared with that of the city of today
1T may well be that the big city of the future
will be an altogether different creature from that of
to-day 1t may be an urban area, covering relatively
large territory with many sub-centers organized
that the advantages of big business and produc
ton can be retained, and yet decentralzed that
all but few people can live within short distance
Of their work while having also sufficient space both
indoors and out that they can enjoy mere living.

A Better Method

Word comes from Atlanta birthplace of the
present-day Ku-Klux Khan, of the organization OF
the American Fascist" whose avowed purpose is
combating Communism in the south by campaign
of education to remove the causes. Black shirts
have been adopted as official insignia.
Whether any considerable number OF Americans
can be persuaded to join the movement is doubtful
If they do we only hope they do not indulge
in the excuses and lawlessness of the Khan, or at
tempt to ape the tactics of the Italian organization
after which they are modelled.
The idea of checking Communism by removing
causes is sound, and the south should be fertile
field for such endeavor. Wages in the newly indus
tralized states of that ptifuly inadequate,
and successful effort to raise them probably would
do more than anything else to check red leanings.
Also the new organization might end or limit
child labor which some southern states have in
sisted on retaining.
There is further opportunity in the eradication
of iliteracy. If Communism is bad, and the Amer
lean Fascist are sure of it, the best way to conne
it is through education which will enable the IN
schooled masses to think for themselves.

A MONG the Oldest and most in
IA teresting myths in existence are
those relating to the creation OF the
sun. They are to be found in every
part of the world.
II is an amusing commentary
upon mans egotism that most of
these legends suppose that the earth
and even mankind to have been in
existence prior to the creation of
the sun.
Ancient peoples always imagined
that the earth was the center of
the universe. Most of them went a
step farther and imagined that
their nation was the center of the
earth.
Thus, for example, in the time of
Homer the Greeks imagined that
the earth was circular plate-like
affair around the edge of which ran
the River Ocean" At the very
center of the plate was the terri
tory of the Greeks.
Some of the solar creation myths
even tell of a primitive race which
created the sun.
1t is interesting to compare these
myths with modern scientific teach
ing. Astronomical research has
shown that the sun is 100000
times the volume of the earth.
The present belief of scientists is
that the sun existed perhaps for
15,000,0 200, 900 years before the earth
and the other planets came into
existence from gaseous material
thrown off by the sun.

How City Folks Live

Twenty-Five American cities have populations in
excess of 100000 the census reveals. Five of these
harbor more than 100000 persons and the twenty
five contain more than a fourth of all the people in
the country.
The continuing trek from the soil to the factory
has of course deeply influenced our national habits
We have more machines, more steel and concrete
and as a race move more and more away from the
primitive existence of our ancestors. And we have
vastly more leisure.
Those who deplore mechanzation and what it
entails therefore will find cause for cheer in two other
things the government has discovered 1t seems that
apartment life has not diminished the love of people
for their gardens, and that walking for recreation
mains popular.
If John Smith doesn't keep in contact with nature
by following plow he nevertheless grows roses and
radishes If he rides street busses or goes to
work in his auto. he plays golf, tennis or hikes, or
goes in for dancing.
Garden clubs the department of agriculture tells
US arc springing up all over the country and ma
tona federation of state garden clubs has been or
gained Several government pamphlets dealing with
flowers have reached the best seller class circulating
more than million copies
The bulletin on roSes-the most popular-went to
100 persons in 1928. Home vegetable gar
dening likewise is becoming more popular.
The department of commerce has discovered that
modern transportation facilities have decreased walk
ing along established lanes Of travel But recreatona
activities have increased. and counterbalancing fac
tor is the tendency to residential districts from
business areas and the establishment of factories
away from well-developed regions.
Apparently part Of the population at least is find
ing to Offset the bad features of modern urban
life

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

I throw every possible safeguard
about milk from the time it leaves
the udder of the cow to the time it
is consumed by the human being.
The milk may be somewhat con-
taminated in the udder, since the
udder of the COW may become in
fected exactly as the human be-
ing may become infected.
Thereafter, opportunity for con-
termination lies in the hands Of the
mixer or from unclean milking
machines, from imperfectly ster-
ilized milking equipment, and from
the hands Of every one who handles
the cans containing the milk at any
time during transportation.
It is, of course, of the greatest
Importance that the milk should be
fairly free from bacteria at the

two determined contenders. Upon
his back Calvin Coolidge can feel
the hot breath of Odd Mcintyre
and Walter Winchell.
Only a few hundred dollars would
serve to make blanket sufficiently
large to cover all three. And as a
politician Coolidge is accustomed to
strange bedfellows.
Calvin Coolidge's mistake, as I see
it, is that temporarily he has fore
sworn the radio, which can be a
large factor in building up the fol-
lowing of a newspaper columnist.
Moreover, it has been generally re-
ported that the timbre of his voice
is excellent for the air. Nor is he
unknown to Inc invisible audience.
I think l remember having once
seen a photograph Of the President
in an Indian headdress while he was
vacationing in the Black Hills.
Surely, some friendly Sioux or Crow
would gladly volunteer to supple
ment a talk by Coolidge with war
dance and a few whoops.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL


0N July 10, 1876, st. Vincent de
~ Paul, adviser of the queen and
oracle of the Catholic church in
France, vas born.
st. Vincent was captured by cor
sairs shortly after his ordination
and carried into Barbary. He con-
verted his renegade master and
escaped with him to France.
When he became chaplain general
of the galleys of France, his tender
charity brought hope into the
prisons where despair had reigned.
His charity took him among the
poor, the young and old and Chris
tians enSlaved by in1dels.
Stories are told of how he went
through the Paris streets at night
seeking the children left there to
die, and of how he once took the
place of an imprisoned man at the
galley oar so the prisoner might go
to his mourning mother.
His name is associated with the
deeds of many Catholic charities,
including the Society Of st. Vincent
de Paul. a laymen'S organization
formed in 1885 in Paris with the
object of visiting poor and suffering
and dispensing relief and sponsor
ing other charitable works.

REASON By Ff nAapfS

TTAPPY days have come for the farmers wife, she
l. 4 has escaped the drudgery which went with har-
vesting and threshing
That was the thing she contemplated with horror
that the sitting, sizzling ordeal OF the year.
She bent over hot stove. boiling beef and gazed
into the baking countenance of over, keeping tab
her apple pies for she was up against bunch OF
customers who could eat the hinges off barn door.
Alongside the rudy of the stubble field the
cannibal was an invalid on diet OF spinach.
He ate like a harvest hand!"
That's always been the highest compliment one
could pay anotherS intake and the wonder OF IL Is
that all of them didn't die for back they went to the
fields to resume their labors with tanks gorged with
heavy food.
DUT this is all over now, except in remote COM
ID munities; the wife has closed her smothering
filling station and the farmer loads his into
machines and brings them to town and feeds them
at the restaurant while his wife finds surcease from
the blasts of July by turning on the radio and hearing
Byrd describe the daily routine of the polar bear.
Another great forward step has been taken in the
elimination of booze from harvesting.
Strange it may seem, there was time when it
considered impossible to harvest without jug Of
liquor in the field; it was thought the men could
not keep cool without lining Of frewater.
But harvesting and threshing are not what they
USED 10 be In otner ways, Vney are not the SuIIleT
highlightS Of former days when rural life was more
detached
In those times when it was days journey to the
county seat and back harvesting and threshng were
great social occasions folks from all the country round
coming in and friends from town driving out to spend
the day.
THEY we're great opportunities for candidates for
i Office these gentlemen making their rounds with
unfaing regularity dispensing cigars OF questionable
merit after the MONDAY meal and those who we're
oratorically equipped making speeches to the men
who sat backed up against the trees.
Lincoln used to be prime favorite at such func-
tons in early Indiana his inexhauStible fund OF
stories and his powers of minicry making him the
ideal entertainer, but Lincoln not a candidate
then, for he was in his teens; he one Of the
workers in the field and his compensation usually was
Is cents day.
But what harvesting has lost in its pcturesqueness
and its social side is Compensated thousand times
by the lifting Of the flaming burden Of the cooking
from the Rcks OF women.

What is one to think under such
circumstances?
It is commonly supposed that
human nature is incapable of lying
on the brink of eternity. especially
in threes and more especially still
where a man has no excuse except
desire to help his companions.
But, like everything else in life,
truth can be made to serve tech
nicality, and conscience can become
the victim Of warped reasoning.
BY thinking the thing over long
enough, persons can make them
selves believe they are innocent of
a aurdet which they helped to
plan, because they did not actually
inflict the death wound.
SO, too, they can make themselves
believe they are innocent of a crime
because they did not intend to COM
nit it, though they engaged in a
business which made the crime pos
sible.

Cleanliness of Milk Supply Important

safety that it be pasteurized.
The highest grade of milk must

average milk after pasteurization
may contain as much as $4,000 bac-

Among the disease particularly
carried by milk are tuberculosis, ty-
