who do not get out Of their home areas
and are aware Of the advantages of
present-day life only by hearsay. The
accounts Of modern mechanical aids
and Of scientific achievements that
reach them are as fairy tales and are
usually not credited.
These islands Of isolation are grad
ually being erased by the tide of de-
velopment. Whether the survivors Of
the remote life are happier for their
seclusion Is question that none can
answer The Georgia recluse probably
lived happily, as happiness is measured
by independence and peace Of mind.
But for the tragedy of her death the
case would in all likelihood never have
become known. There Is perhaps some
comfort in immunity from the spirit of
restlessness that sends people nowadays
scurrying about in trains, motors and

Americas Role at Geneva.

In the news columns of The Sunday
Star there was an authoritative fore
cast of the role which the United States
has assigned itself at the forthcoming
World Conference on Disarmament at
Geneva. 1t is rather a role which the
plain logic of the armaments situation
imposes upon us. The American public
will have clearer conception of what
1mpends at Geneva, as far as this coun-
try is concerned, if it will consider ra-
tionally and dispassionately certain OBJ
viouS facts.
1t is plain that the United States
contribution to the cause of disarma-
ment is limited to earnest and friendly
cooperation with those powers which
are chiefly concerned in effecting re-
duction or curtailment of armament
burdens. Those powers are in Europe,
not In North America. That does not
mean that the United States interest
In seeing the world relieve itself OF
crushing expenditure on military and
naval establishments is not an active
and deep interest. On the contrary
there is probably no important nation
anywhere SO anxious to see practical
progress in disarmament as the Ameri-
can people. But the Geneva confer.
ence Is not essentially our affair. II
n primarily Europe's business.

New York and Parking.

New York City evidently does not
trifle with its parking violators In a
statement just issued by Chief Magis-
trate James c. Mcdonald it is shown
that of the 60,3s9 motorists arrested in
1880 for infractions OF the parking
regulations 48,905 were compelled to
pay fines, 1O,3o1 received suspended
sentences, while only 1,183 we're dis
charged. These figures were given to
the New York Board of Trade in answer
to the charge that it had been freely
and publicly intimated" that 'laxity
ca the part Of the magistrates existed
in dealing with parking offenses."
The reply Of the chief magistrate
should certainly force the Board of
Trade to do little backtracking. The
figures show fine cooperation between
the police and the courts and also that
1t is not healthy pastime for the New
York motorists to park overtime or in
restricted zones. Other cities can well
follow New York's example.

touch this country less than they touch
Europe because Geneva is to deal pre-
eminently with land armaments. Naval
armamentS are already fixed by treaty
until 1887 under agreements instigated
mainly by the United States. With one
of the smallest standing armies on
the face Of the earth, accounting for
less than one-half Of one per cent per
capita Of our immense population, the
military forces Of the Republic only
slightly outnumber those Of Germany,
which is disarmed under the Treaty of
Versailles. Uncle Sam could not re-
duce his army without running the risk
of jeopardizing the minimum of ma
tional safety.
In other words, the United States
goes to Geneva with no bargaining
power in the shape of reducible armed
forces, such as 1t had at the Washing
ton and London naval conferences
What it does have, and what may well
prove to be of perhaps even greater
persuasive potency, is the moral influ-
ence which its people and Government
possess. 1t Is gratifying to learn that
the American delegation at Geneva will
be under instructions to use this moral
influence to the uttermost-to the end
Of convincing our European friends that
the key to disarmament Is in their
hands, that the lock which it fits closes
the door to vital and indispensable
political readjustments and that until
they are made, excessive ornaments
and the suspicion and fear they breed
are certain to remain menace to peace.
Because of our acknowledged power
in the field Of moral suasion at Geneva,
the country hopes that Secretary Stim-
son may decide to head the American
delegation. The presence there of the
highest ranking member of the Pres-
dents cabinet and the chief admins
traitor of our foreign relations would
make our influence, immeasurably i'm
portant as it is already, even more
effective.

Behind the Times"

A tragedy that has just occurred In
georgia dlscloses remarkable in
stance OF seclusion for a great num-
Der Of years, involving isolation from
one Of the foremost factors of Amer
lean development. A woman eighty
five years of age was burned to death
the other day while attempting to build
fire on a hearth. Her sister. aged
ninety, summoned help by ringing the
1arm bell, but neighbors arrived too
late and the house was DESTROYED, itself
an ancient landmark, having been
oullt by an ancestor when Indians were
the nearest neighbors. The victim of
the fire was a stockholder in a rail-
road company, the line of which ran
within seven miles of her home. Yet
she had never seen a train. She had
lived all of her long life within the
narrow confines of her little farm.
Though it is not mentioned, 1t Is prob
ably fact that she did not know the
telephone, had never heard q radio.
had never seen motion picture. She
doubtless had never ridden In an auto
mobile, perhaps had never seen one.
Such a thing as newspaper or a
magazine presumably did not enter
the house. 1t may be that she refused
to believe that airllanes exist. they
being contrary to the natural laws she
knew.
Occasionally such cases of seclusion
come to light and cause astonishment.
Not very long ago an elderly woman in
one of the neighboring counties Of
Maryland took her FIRST ride on q train,
