New York-In this town, where so many people are supposed to go to the devil" it's surprising how many angels can be found who are willing to perch on the point of an electric bulb!
 Fact is, in this day and age few theatrical producers put up their own money for their own shows. The so-called smart boys' gener- ally find other sources. Years ago, the Frohmans and Belascos and all such backed their own shows and personally attended to the casting and directing. Purchase of big the- ater chains established bookings all over the nation and Broadway became more and more real es- tate proposition, with groups hold ing their houses for rentals.
 Now it so happens that in this mans town there are certain gents who have money, and who also have wives, daughters and girl friends obsessed with the nation that they are actresses. It merely remains for play to come along. find pro- ducer, put up the money--and on she goes. The results are generally more than slightly sad. Time and again, I have attended performances where wives would have been far better off back in the kitchen and where sweethearts would have been better off in rumble seats. At any rate, certain stage pro- duction opened within the past few weeks.
 Up in the Bronx there was . proud father. He had made q nice bit of money in business and he had a daughter who had been quite a riot in the amateur and little theater groups. Why couldn't she have her name on Broadway? Why not indeed!
 Considering the nature of ths play, a mere matter of $10,OO0 oi thereabouts was required.
 And SO the performance opened on Broadway, with first night critics on hand and. of course scores oi friends "up town.
 When 1t was all over. the proud mama and papa rushed to the stage followed by large parade o gushers. and c good time was nas by all at the gst-together that foi ' No harm done, as you can sec There rarely is. except to som' youngater's ego and some anseP

DAILY WASHINGTON LETTE

Nevertheless, recent months have seen a considerable growth in vocal resentment from financiers and in- dustrialists. many of whome derive no direct tariff benefits and some of whom appear to have become in- creasingly skeptical about the in~ direct benefits. The agricultural. automobile and railroad industries are among those which the repub- licans must convince.
 The flint in congress promises to produce some thrills--if there is every anything thrilling about tariff debates-because there will be three. fervent, sheer and well- equipped democrats to lar the at tack. The three are Senators Costigan of Colorado and Hull of Tennessee and Congressman David J. Lewis of Maryland. Costigan and Lewis are newly elected to congress; Hull has been elevated to the senate, where he will be more effective than ever. Costigan and Lwis are former members of the tariff commission. What they don't know about the 'iniquities" of high protectvie duties, Hull does.

R. M. Gibbs. writing in the Kiwans Mag azine, says that conservative estimates reveal that the United States is using six times as much timber as it is growing. Most of us would reply to this - let's grow more tim ber However, the problem isn't SO easily solved Conservationists have been demand ing more forests for quite some few years now yet the amount of land planted to timber doesn't increase at the rate it should. Fifty years from now we will regret our laxity in this matter unless we get busy today. Of course a good many of us won't be here in 1881 to see the state of conditions. but future generations will have plenty to say about our selfishness. Mir Gibbs states that there should be a natural balance between planting and consumption of timber. With tree planting SO easy one would imagine that more idle acres would be converted into the tree farms. It isn't a task for the individual as it is for the community the state. the nation. When towns and cities get the habit of creating town forests then tree conservation will begin in earnest. Until then our sporadic efforts to increase timber acreage will be futile. State forests will help. but the communities must do the most work Europe has few towns without their own forest. It learned iis les. son in past centuries. America should follow this example Conserve now.

This is a lamentably ignorant world. We have. on occasion, had to confess our own ignorance of the meaning of some of the more eso& teric language of Martha's Vineyard, Mass. We are not yet positive of the mainland cognomen of the fam and we had to write the editor ot "The Vineyard Gazettei to be cer- tain of the identity of the pinkle. tink. We confess. however. that we have been shocked by later revela- tions of even more abysmal ignor- ance in others.

Health In The Country

A health authority finds the death rate from many diseases greater in the country than in the city, and the general health rate lower.
 Green pastures. sunshine and rolling meadows" he says apparently have little to do with the health of the individual. At any rate they constitute less protection than the effective sanitation, clinical facilities and hy- gienic measures available in congested streets and bleak tenement house districts of large cities
 This doesn't mean that the country intrins- icly is less healthful place than the city. Old notions have not been wrong. The country is naturally more healthful The difference comes from what people themselves do to aid nature in promoting health. Rural communi- ties nearly always do less in this respect than urban communities, and so lose their natural advantages. Dr C. E. Winslow. professor of public health at the Yale School of Medicine, says that of 2.500 rural counties studied. only about dozen have health services comparable to that of any progressive community.

One wonders what happens around the family tables when these reviews are received and read. Yet there seems to be no cure! Year after year, they go on doing the same thing. There's at least one a month in season, and several when the season begins and ends. And to me, at least, it's one of the things Booth Tarkington should write about in that vein he has uSed in describing some of the most pathetic family dinners I. have ever read about.
