vent nomination on the first ballot.
The practical question is whether the
combination, If thus made, can be
maintained.
A fight against the favorite, prior to
convention, is apt to have the effect Of
stiffening his lines when they are
finally formed at the party meeting. In
other words, the stouter the minority
opposition the stronger stands the
phalanx Of the leader. There is little
chance to weaken his following by dis
persal through the favorite-son list on
the later ballots. In the event of a
protracted deadlock, as in 1924 at Madi-
son Square Garden, dark horse is
most likely to win the nomination. In
1912 at Baltimore Champ Clark held
his own as favorite and actually went
beyond the majority point, only later to
lose to Woodrow Wilson, but he was
not quite the outstanding favorite that
Roosevelt appears to be now. Further
more, Wilson was strong minority
candidate at the beginning Of the bal
loting and gained steadily.
The parallel, If any is to be drawn
between the present situation and that
of prior pre-convention period, would
seem to lie between the 1912 situation.
rather than that of 1924, and that Of
today. There is no conspicuous occu-
pant of the rival field, unless it be
Smith, and there seems to be little rea-
son to look for a considerable increase
in his convention strength now that he
has absorbed Massachusetts,. his best
field of action. If Roosevelt holds ma
terially more than a third of the votes
at the convening of the meeting-and
it is more likely that he will hold more
than an actual majority-he will him
self enjoy the veto power which it is
now the aim of the Smith faction to
secure. And that may lead to dead
lock, the outcome of which is anybody's
guess.

ment OF German reparations schedules
at the Lausanne conference in June.
Furthermore, If reparaticns should be
scaled down, 1t is probable that new
agreements covering the obligations Of
the former allied governments to the
British government would be in order"
We now know" asserts the Wall
Street Journal. that it was the repara-
tions and the debts which finally pre-
cipitated the catastrophe drop in
commodity prices, and that 1t was this
drop which at one and the same time
generated the crisis which has shaken
the credit structures Of the world and
by destruction of profit in industry and
commerce has been by far the greatest
cause in producing unemployment. That
harm has been done. 1t may be too
much to say that 1t can all be quickly
undone by getting these debts and
reparationS out of the worlds economic
structure. But it is quite certain that
the most effective single step that can
be taken looking to start toward world
recovery is to do precisely that thing.
Our Government has claim against
allied debtors aggregating something
like $3.50 900 600 a year and gradually
increasing. But what is that in COM
parison to what this depression is cost
ing agriculture and labor alone, to say
nothing of other interests? A few
months ago there was a reduction in
wages of railroad operatives that took
about 5000. 100000 a year from their
earnings. There is no reliable esti-
mate of total wages in 1881. but the re-
ductlons must be a staggering total.
The income Of agriculture in the past
year wes about $4,000, 900, 900 less than
the average"
THE more one thinks about the
matter" according to the Birmingham
e-Herald, "the more one deplores the
stupidity of Congress in the adoption
Of the resolution Of not one penny

may be sure that Europe would not
be trying to squeeze play on us. We are
paying the price Of inflexibility. II

ton to negotiate. the world would be

through the water at better than two
! miles minute.
1t is probably just as well that Wood
has made the decision to build q new
boat. because Lord Wakefield has al
ready ordered work started on his third
Miss England, which will be driven
again by Don, not only In the Harms
worth Cup event but in straightaway
speed trials as well. Miss England II
was the boat that Don raced last year
against Wood and the beating it gave
him will probably never be forgotten
by the Detroit sportsman. 1t ran rings
around Miss America TX and would
undoubtedly have captured the race
but for the unfortunate accident which
capsized it and sent it to the bottom
Of the river. Miss England III, ac-
cording to advices from abroad, will be
even faster and Don hopes to drive her
to world supremacy.
Wood and Lord Wakefield appear to
be the only contenders for speedboat
honors. Miss Barbara Carstairs. the
plucky little English girl, after spend
ing more than half a million dollars
on her Miss Estelle boats and never
reaching a speed greater than ninety
five miles an hour, reluctantly an
nounced her withdrawal from competi-
tion because it is too expensive sport
for me" So it looks as II Wood and
Lord Wakefield, through Don, will have
to fight it out all by themselves.
The coming race therefore looms as
an interesting event, especially if Wood
adheres to his intention Of putting only
Miss America X in competition against
Miss England III and not. as he
has done In previous years, racing
two of his Miss Americas against q
lone foreign challenger. One against
one is certainly fairer than two against
one, and If it had been so last year
George Wood, his brother. would never
have romped to easy victory in Miss
America VIII when Miss America TX
was disqualified and Miss England sank.
There should be an exciting battle on
the Detroit River next September.

The Roosevelt-Smith Race.

The results Of the Massa achusetts and
Pennsylvania Democratic primaries on
Tuesday were about as was expected, in
that in the Bay State former Gov.
Smith Of New York swept the polls,
while in the Keystone State Gov.
Roosevelt led the Statewide ballot. But
IN degree the votes cast in the two
States were somewhat surprising. In
Massachusetts the Smith victory was
greater than was regarded as likely,
while in Pennsylvania the Roosevelt
margin was smaller than had been
claimed 1y his supporters. Taken
altogether Tuesday was not particu-
larry reassuring day for Gov. Roosevelt.
The net result seems to have been the
addition Of some seventy-six votes to
the Smith column OF delegates. which
is considerable factor in the case Of a
candidate for the nomination whose
immediate aim appears to be to hold
the veto power of a few votes more
than a third of the total on the first
ballot in convention.
It is now claimed by Smiths friends
that these two primaries will assure
him two hundred votes at Chicago
That, however, is quite long way from
the veto point. There will be l154
votes ct the convention, of which TIC
will be necessary to nominate. under
the two-thirds rule, while 1856 will be
needed to prevent nomination. What
the Smith supporters are evidently

O. Is Great Britain losing or GAIN
ing population?-T. S.
A. She Is gaining. Not only is the
native population gaining. but for the
first time in the recorded history Of
British immigration and emigration the
tide has turned back to the British
Isles, $4,000 more persons entering the
United Kingdom last year than leaving.
Most have returned from other parts
of the empire. For as long as records
stand, each year has seen q strong
movement outward until last year.
Q. What is the name of the arch
so often seen in pictures of japanese
Scenes?-T. OBJ.
A. Tori are the simple ornamental
arches, consisting OF two upright posts
supporting concave Intel. which are
often placed at the approaches to Japa-
nese shrines and temples.
G. Is farming the basic industry Of
the United States?-M. T.
A. Throughout most Of the history
OF the United States farming was re-
garded as the basic industry. With
the rise of manufacturing. particularly
since 1900, the value of manufactured
products has exceeded the value Of
farm products. Today only a fraction
Of the working people are employed on
farms, whereas earlier in our history
nearly all were so employed. While
farming remains practically indispen-
sable, it no longer is the basic indus
try. If a single industry were to be
selected among the manufacturing in
dustries it would be steel, as that in
cludeS iron and coal. The United
States now is classed as an industrial
rather than an agricultural nation.
Many States, taken individually. would
still show farming as the basic industry
For the world, agriculture must still bs
regarded as basic, as from agriculture
must come the food Of the people,
without which there could be no other
industry.
Q. What are totipalmate btrds7-
A. Those having toes completely

A. The Indians used to hold their
tribal rites under this tree and under
it later in its history, on July 4, 1776,

greSs at Philadelphia. Also, under this
tree the first treaty was made between
the white men and the Indians, but no
exact date can be set for this. The
tree Is still standing and is about 500
years old.
@. When did people begin to bury
their dead?-A. J. NJ.
A. The fear of the dead body led
primitive man to dispose of it. This
originated the custom Of burning, bury
ing, and otherwise disposing Of the
dead Wells says that even the
Neanderthal man seems to have buried
his dead and apparently with food and
weapons. Dancing and feasting were q
part of the primitive ceremony-danc-
ing, TO frighten away evil spirits; feast
ing, in honor of the dead
