Books Across the Sea.
(New York Herald Trlbune)


 You never can tell just how the human mind will work, New England Americans who want fame and success in the arts sometimes twist their into foreign forms, on the theory that no one would buy painting go to concert given by with Anglo Saxon name And the other hand, the Kabotzniks constantly seeking to improve their business by changing to names like Cabot. So, too with books; some Americans howl at British critics because they sheer at Ameri can authors and then run wildly to buy book because an English critic lauds it.
 Even the British get their lines snarled occa- sionally It would be interesting to know just how much the award of the Femina-Vie Heureuse prize to Richard Hughess High Wind in Jamaica" tale of English children and West Indian pirates. The book has already had history as curious as it's plot It sought English publisher in vain; then it appeared, quietly enough, in America and under the title 'The Innocent Voy- age.a Success in America tempted English pub fisher, but not wishing to seem to learn about British books from Americans, he changed it's title to High Wind in Jamaica" and as such it was pub lished in England, and with the aid of it's Ameri- can reclame made the choice of the English Book League Whereupon, the American publisher prompt ly brought out in this country edition under the English title, and sold it here the strength of its English And French com mittee crowns it!
 All of which proves as all good publishing stories do precisely nothing. For the one reasonably sure conclusion which be deducted from the varied histories of best sellers and Hops is that no fu- ture for one book can be predicated upon the suc- cess of another similar book The human mind, when picking books to read follows more crazy-quit pattern than when picking names to like and dislike.

Safety at Sea.
Manchester Guardian.l

Nineteen years ago the worlds largest liner, the Titanic, struck iceberg her maiden voyage and though she had been pronounced unsuitable took to their deaths some fifteen hundred of her passengers and crew. The disaster shocked the maritime nations that international conference was held soon afterwards to attempt agreement measures to secure greater safety at Its work was forgotten in the catastrophe that overwhelmed the world in August 1914 and it did not meet again until 1929 Then, however, it did its work thor second reading to the Bill which embodies it's de- cisions. They were hammered out in conference by the representatives of more than of coun- schedules volume of two hundred pages, and they constitute the most complete attempt that has been made to bring the construction, loading, and equipment of shipping into line with expert opinion upon conditions of safety They tighten up regulations for the provision of boats, rafts buoyant apparatus and wireless equipment and they make more stringent the precautions for safeguarding the loadline which, as Pmsoll taught the world, is the seafarers most important protection. Above all,
 they make possible for the first time international uniformity and reciprocity in these matters. The loss of the Vestris a deplorabe reminder that unless the safety enactments hold good
 throughout the ports of the world it is possible, for instance, for British ship to ply abroad under conditions of loading and dapidation that would be impossible if a home port were her regular base The international convention, by giving to it certain measure of reciprocal control the seaworthiness of each others ships should go far to make general the practice of the most responsible shpowning countries and firms

MORE ROOSEVELT MEDALISTS.

Hamln Garland receives the Roosevelt Medal for distinguished service as social historian depicter and recorder of vanished phase of American life. A pioneer of the Middle Border MT Garland was a pioneer also in the realistic depletion of the life of the farms and villages of the frontier. His fiction and his photographed writings alike are history transposed by the understanding of a poet and lover of mankind; and fulfill in measure the demand for imagination in historical writing eloquently phrased by Theodore Roosevelt in his ad dress as President of the American Historical Asso- ciation. In review of "A Son of the Middle Bor- der" William Dean Howes wrote: Tn all the region of autobiography, far I know it, do not know quite the like of MT. Garland's story of his
 life, and I should rank 1t with the very greatest of that kind in literature. It is psychological synthesis of personal and general conditions in a country, such has not got into literature before. That in itself is precious contribution to human knowledge" Another critic has described MT. Garlands books the Middle Border "a sequence of autobiographical works without parallel
 in American letters"
 With Main Travelled Roads published in 1890, MT. Garland became the literary spokesman for the distress and dissatisfaction along the changing frontier the voice of the hopes and aspirations of the common pushing civilization into the wild erness and he has remained their historian His Roadside Meetings" presents in autobiographical form q VlVlu picture Ol Anerlcan literary scene during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Among MT. Garland's other books Prairie Folks" Prairie Songs" Boy Life and the Prairie" and "A Daughter of the Middle Border" His bio- graphy of General Grant retains after thirty three years it's hold on the critics and the public.
 C. Hart Merriam receives the Roosevelt Medal for distinguished service in the advancement of the study of natural history He founded the division of ornithology and mamalogy in the Federal De- partment of Agriculture in 1885 Qater called the United States Biological Survey), and it's chief for twenty-five years introduced methods of research in the field and study which constitute the basic structure of the present school of American mann malogy regarded by scientists as the most advanced in the world. He brought the study of natural history out of the laboratory into the open spaces

RAMIFICATIONS OF AN
 ADVERTISEMENT.

Twelve thousand pounds of type-metal and 8S7 pounds of copper are used each week in the Adam apple advertisements appearing in more than 1900 daily newspapers all over the United States, according to the manufacturers of Lucky Strike cigarettes This is an example of how advertising is creating more employment. While the advertise ments themselves sell more Lucky Strike cigarettes, thus bringing wages and profits to the workers in the factories stockholders, jobbers, retail dealers, transportation employees and others, the actual advertisements themselves giving employment to miners printers pressmen, and many others in every important city in the country The daily circulation of the 1900 newspapers in which the Adams apple advertisements are running averages about 60O0000, according to Lord & Thomas and Logan the advertising agency. The message is thus read by 36OoO000 potential customers every time it appears and this is obviously one of the most important reasons for the continuing increase in the sale of the American Tobacco Companys products. The company is spending more money in the newspapers this year for advertising than ever before This necessitates employment of more sales men to attend to dealers wants, to check on their supplies and to inform them of the latest mer- chandsing methods

sCOTLAND's POPULATION LOWER.

The 1881 population enumeration in Scotland shows a slight decrease in the last ten years The figures for this year 4842554 against 1882 497 in 1921 decrease of approximately 4ooo0 or eight tenths of per cent These figures are given by Mir Adamson, the Secretary of State for Scotland who points out that they provisional and sub feet to correction when the returns have been examined in detail
 The small decline shared by the sexes, and there are still more women than men in Scotland. The number of males this year 2325,867 against 2347642 in 1921, and the number of females was 25l6687 against 2534 955 ten years ago.
 An analysis of the returns indicates that the movement from the country to the large towns is as marked north of the Tweed in England. Of the large burghs the majority show an increase of population in the ten years particularly in Glas- gow and Edinburgh, while nearly all the counties have suffered declines.

Owning of Homes

Praise for home ownership as an aid
In the building Of nation was eX-
pressed recently by Walter o. Woods,
Treasurer of the United States, In an
address before the Centennial Conven-
ton of the United States Building and
Loan League at Philadelphia.
Pointing to the building and loan
movement as q means of accomplishing
home ownership, Mr.. Woods said the
State must regard as of paramount I'M
portance whatever will produce a
greater determination on the part OF
the citizen to be thrifty.
THE home that is the property of

They say that the basic industry,
