Americans Distrust Cities

Walter Lippman, brilliant editor
of the New York World in its last
days, has been devoting his enforc-
ed leisure to study of popular gov
ernment in America. He finds that
the outstanding failure of Ameri-
cans in the science of politics is in
the way they run their big cities.
"The Government of the cities is
the one conspicuous failure of the
United States," declares Mr.. Lipp-
man in the Woman's Home Compan-
ion. 'It is archaic in design, insult
ed to its purpose, unsatisfactory in
its operation, and profigate in
spending the taxpayers money.
The underlying tradition of Ameri-
ca is antagonistic to cities. We have
never governed cities we'll because
we are deeply suspicious of their
very existence. We have never in
our hearts accepted them and cher
ished them. We view the city as a /
kind of dangerous disease" >.
Nevertheless cities have grown
huge. For while American sentiment |
has frowned upon them, American |
national policy and practical inven- |
tiveness and mOney-making ability 1
have united to cultivate. their rapid 4
growth. The tariff has been great /
city builder by putting a premium
on goods that are produced in cities.
Mr.. Lippman comments: For $50
years, while we have maintained our
ideals of rural society, we have been
busy creating the most extensive
urban society in the world. Less
than a quarter of the nation now
lives on farms. In the last 10
years every state east of the Mis-
sissippi has lost in the number of
It's farms. In the last 20 years
while we have added 17,OOOOOOO to
)ur total population, we have lost
100000 in the number of people
living on farms"
1t is a puzzling anomaly that more
Ind more Americans live in cities,
ret the nation as a whole despises
hem.
The great cultural achievements
# the ages have largely centered in
titles. Only modern America shuns
he glory of the city. Englishmen
re proud of London and French
nen of Paris. Americans are
shamed and distrustful Of all of
heir cities.

BACHELOR RECIPES
A Few Oddities OF The Past Sum-
mer When Married Men Led
Single Lives And Turned Cook.

Necessity is the mother of many a
menu, many a recipe. During the
past summer when city husbands
were separated from their wives
4 during the long hot week days, the
! necessity for home dishes brought
to light some curious recipes from
men leading single lives. And in the
preparation of these dishes electri-
cal appliances about the home were
pressed into service and found to be
invaluable short cuts to success.
Consider this first recipe
Windmill Hash
To make this pleasing dish, the
essential ingredients are meat, po-
tatoes, and an electric fan. oh, we
nearly forgot-and a r. .ncoat. All
you have to do is select nice piece
of corn beef or prime ribs and turn
on the kitchen fan full speed. Hurl
the meat into the spinning blades. |
Turn up your coat collar and wait. |
After the bOmbardment is over, get |
out your vacuum cleaner and suck |
up the pieces. Take the whole mass |
and wash well before using. Then

NEW YORK-Is. woman gradu- ally returning to primitive state. Are her clothes, her bobbed hair, her costume jewelry with it's large vividly colored necklaces, her fac- ial makeup but indications of her reversal to savagery? .o
 Of course there are a great many carping critics who will loudly de- clare that woman is as savage to- day as she ever was, even in pri- meval days. But there is one man who claims to have completed a striking analogy between modern woman and her primitive sister and who offers plenty of proofs for his assertions. He is Frederick A. Mitchell-Hedges, noted British ex- plorer and student of the Ameri- can Indian. His explorations and adventures are noted not only among laymen but among scientists the world over and even the most OI lIlObtlll WOlllCil Iluot listen to him with respect if not with interest.
 Mitchell-Hedges very Wi4eIy re- serves judgment on his findings. He is vastly interested, however, about his discovery that highly civilized women are quite plainly reverting to the habits of primi- tive women. He paints a picture in vivid colors of the present day woman with her bobbed and often fuzzy hair. cupid's bow lips and cheeks in glowing carmine, exposed knees-well they were until a year acc, anyway-intensely vain, ath- letic, and few clothes to hamper her movements. And now listen to the specifications of a primitive girl: Dusky-remember when we too had the sun-tan last year?- bobbed hair, sometimes fuzzy, face painted, lips reddened, few if any

German Fascist. Loyalty
 Tested by New Cigarettes

BERLIN, March 18.-Facism and tobacco habits have been linked by Adolf Hitlers' National Socialist Party.
 The true "Nazi" may smoke only 100 per cent pure German cigar cites, neither the tobacco nor paper of which has been touched by a Jewish hand.
 Adorned with the Fascist emblem, the swastika, the Nazi flags appear ed on the market after huge post CTS and big advertisements in the newspapers had announced their advent.
 The promoters slogan req d S: Everybody who feels German must smoke these cigarettes, for he fights with us against the international enslavement of the German fi- nances."

clothes to hamper running and iancing. And vain, just as vain as my beautiful showgirl Quite a shock, isn't it, this deadly parallel. The explorer cites the Indian women to further annotate his con- jention that modern woman is re- |verting back to a savage state. When the Indian woman is at he transition state between girl hood and wonlanhood, she has her [hair cropped closed to her head. Thus. her world knows that Miss Indian is of marriageable age our counterpart of debutante, as
 it were. Incidentally, the close cropped style of hairdress is ultra
 popular with the college girl and the professional woman.
 The primitive woman discarded clothing, her nudeness was evil dence of her primitive state, just as it is among savage races to- day. And civilized woman is go- ing back to the self-same idea, wearing as few clothes as she pos sibly can. Having emerged from the swaddling clothes of the fash ions that typifled the Victorian era, it doesn't look as though she will ever thus burden herself again, even if she has returned to long, lsh skirts When she wants to- she will again ask for freedom of the knees.
 And now comes the most strik- ing analogy of all, the. demand of ahc civilized worran foc complete emancipation. Mitchell Hedges tells of many Indian tribes whose wom- en choose their own mates. These women take their chosen husband to their home and he is never al- lowed to do a thing unless wife gives the order. There are lots of highly civilized women-who al though they would not admit it. would regard such a marriage as ideal

Nothing but Hard Cash
for English Lecturer

They do say that back in the dim
ages of half a hundred years ago.
when the great poet and essayist
Matthew Arnold, was in this country
scattering sweetness and light from
the lecture platform, he reached Phil
adelphia one evening just an hour or
two before he was to fill an engage
ment there. When the welcoming
committee had properly received.
honored and lodged their distin-
guished guest he informed them that
he had to have his $1,000 for the
lecture paid in advance. They gra-
ciously proceeded to write him a
check for the amount, but to their
CONSERVATION the great poet in
formed them that check would not
do-that he had to have cash, and in
advance.
The banks being closed, the COM
mittee did not know where they
could lay their hands on such a sum
in so short a time. The happy
thought occurred to them to get the
personal promise of payment and in
dorsement of some of Philadelphia S
best-known millionaires, who. in fact
were known all over the world. They
got such an Endorsement, but that,
too, was fatty refused. The poet
was taking no chances. He laid
down the ultimatum that he had to
have the $4,000 in cash in hand and
beforehand or the widely advertised
lecture would not be delivered. The
committeeman then scurried about
town borrowing small sums here and
there and thus succeeded in meeting
the exacting demands of the visiting
