 For lovers of action there is the campaign against the Arabs with Riff horsemen charging head long into the fire of French ma- chine guns; the sensational escape of Ralph Graves from the pestil- ential tropical prison of Hell's Is- land, and fight between Graves and Holt.
 sHumor in Abundance
 Humor in abundance is provided by the efforts of the .hard-fisted Yankee Legionnaires, portrayed by Holt and Graves, to steal each oth- CTS girl friends. The dialogue is highly spiced. Romance, too, is found in the sincere love scenes; the exotic atmosphere of an Arab ian oasis; the Oriental music and dancing.

Agreement Wholesome Sign
COuzenS Is SkeptiCaI

~ OHttCd Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Chair-
man Couzens of the senate inter
state commerce committee believes
the 10 per cent wage reduction &C
cepted by railway employees is mere
ly palliative. He told the United
Press the brunt of railway economic
reorganization eventually would fall
on holders of common stock and
junior securities.
CouzenS attributes the plight Of
the roads largely to modern COM
petition by BUSES, trucks and pipe
lines. He believes no return ever
again will be made on billions OF
dollars now invested in railway
equipment. The senator's commit
tee is engaged with railway prob
lens. His gloomy view is that about
$4,000, 100000 of railway equip
ment must be wiped off the books.
Couzens expects the railways next
move to be for federal regulation
of bus and truck rates.
And he is convinced the public
would not stand for bus and truck
rates fixed at a high level merely
to enable the roads to compete.
He foresees the necessity for the
roads to abandon about 10000 sta
tions where automotive competition
is surprising the rails.

Even Mr.. Lewis enemies did
not quarrel with his realism. They
quarreled with his AmericaniSm.
And never, so far as memory
serves, did any of them suggest
that the real trouble with Bah
bitt was not at all its disgust with
the material opulence of American
civilization, but it's child-like faith
that the opulence existed. Never
did a critic rise to say that Bah
bitt, as a saga Of the age, was
not realism, but rich, luxurious
romance.
THIS is, in its way, curious. For
- the one fact certain about the
great majority of Americans-the
65 or 70 or rs per cent whose in
comes, even in times of prosper
ity, lie downward of $4,000 year
the one fact certain about this
great mass of the population is
that its members do not inhabit
Mr.. Rabbits world.
They don't wash in Mr.. Rabbits
bathroom. An incredible percent
age of them don't wash in any
bathroom at all. (In New York
alone more than a million people
have no bathing facilities in their
homes) They don't enjoy Mr..
Rabbits heat and light and air.
Mr.. Rabbits Scrupulous water
closet becomes for millions of
them a foul hall toilet shared with
five to twenty-five other humans,
or a backyard privy.
A good half of them, if they
read of Mr.. Rabbits house at
all, read of it as of lovely and
impossible paradise in another
world.
IF George Follansbee's bud
4 get was more than $1,000 a
year (and he estimated, as he
thought over his latest deal and
his tax bill and his children, that
he ought to pull out eight thou
sand'), he was better off than
98.9 per cent of his countrymen.
And Babbitt becameS a novel of
the richest one per cent.
A realization of that fact
should correct certain presupposi-
tons about American housing. It
should persuade the general read
er that the picture of America as
one great glitter Of plumbing ads
is not altogether lifelike.
But whether it will prepare him
for the actual truth is another
matter. For the truth is that
American housing is not only not
Superlative; it is no even good.
The truth is that less than half
the homes in America measure
up to minimum standards of
health and decency.

Contrary to general belief-a belief
not entirely uninspired by "Babbitt- bait
ing" literature of the last decade
America is not one great gIittering pic
ture of plumbing advertising. In fact.
less than half the homes in America
measure uD to the standard of health
and deeency.
A graphic picture of housing and sani-
tary conditions in this country is con-
tanned in a series of six articles to be
published in this newspaper. These
articles are published with the consent
of the magazine Fortune. in which this
material originally appeared. This is
the first article. Others will follow.
GEORGE FOLLANSBEE Bah
~ BIT heaved his two thick
legs over the side of his sleeping
porch in Floral Heights, extin-
guished the nationally advertised
alarm clock with the cathedral
chimes, and stumped down the
hallway to the white tile bath.
There, surrounded by the glass
towel rack and the glittering
medicine cabinet and the flush
plumbing of his American citizen
ship, he shaved.
Mr.. Babbitt was a type. He
personified the luxury of the
American Century. You liked
him if you liked realistic htera-
ture, and you disliked him if you
disliked realistic literature.
In Mr. Mencken's classroom,
where realism was admired, he
and his guest towel and his &C.
ment drive and his hydrangeaS
were biting satire, a bitter de-
bunking of the sentimentality of
the American mind.
In the clubrooms of the re-
spectacle academicians who spoke
of the award of the Nobel prize
to Sinclair Lewis as an insult to
their country (and an oversight
of themselves), he and all his
ways were hateful.
Il n
DUT it was merely a question
ID of taste. Neither Mr.. NIencken
nor the academicians had the
slightest doubt of the authenticity
of the picture, or Of the right of
Mr.. Babbitt to represent, in his
person and his possessions, and
particularly in his house and in
his bath, the person and the
possessions and the house and the
bath of the average American of
our time.
The hot water faucet and the
medicine closet and the modern
sanitary installation were as
sumed to be prerogatives of the
nation. They were typical.
America, it was said, was like
that-an Eldorado of plumbing,
paradise of sleeping porches, a
shining, polished simmer of
brass pipes, iridescent water
closet seats, oil burners, vacuum
cleaners, electric stoves, garbage
incinerators, washing machines
and two-car garages running
from golf club to golf club across

Written for the United Press1
CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-The agree
ment between the railway COM
panies and twenty international
unions will be regarded as a great
historical document in the field Of
the Industrial relations.
The companies and unions have
recognized they are in the same
boat and have worked together to
bail 1t out so that it will continue
to function.
No doubt they have done better
job than had the matter gone to
arbitration. Arbitration is a weak
and uncertain substitute for solu-
lions arrived at as in this confer
ence.
Railways and their employees are
victims Of business depression, dis
ordered finance and increasing an
unequal competition from new
transportation forms. Reduction in
operating costs was necessary. The
10 per cent wage reduction will be
helpful in tiding over the depres-
sion.
Wage Cut Seen Necessary
Though wage reductions should
be avoided when possible, they are
necessary at times.
In recognizing this was necessary
in this instance, the unions showed
real understanding. And the rail-
road presidents showed an ap-
probation Of the problem presented
by unemployed workers.
1t is expected the companies and
unions will cooperate fully and
intellectually in meeting this
problem. They no doubt will find
1T most difficult matter to work
out unless depression gives way to
a decided boom in industry, but
many things can be done when
there is common desire to find
way out.
Agreement Wholesome Sign
Sterilization of EMPLOYMENT.
division of work, an effort to place
those unneeded by the railroads in
other industries, and a dismissal
wage are some methods to be con-
Sldered.
The companies and workers rep
resentativeS are to continue to face
their problem and reason together
in the future. 1t renews con-
fidence in our economic system and
in free enterprise.
The public should be glad of the
contract of methods and outcome
here and those of the soft coal trade
a few years back.

Republican leaders at the Chicago con-
vention were doubtless justified in pointing
to the good will of the Latin American re-
publics as one bright spot in the record of
the present administration, for changes in at
titude toward our neighboring republics
have been applauded by the Latin-American
press.
A fairer Interpretation of the Monroe
Doctrine and reputation of the principle
of armed protection of our private interests
in the Caribbean have contributed to this reap
proachment.
But most of all, our sister republics
have been gratifed by reversal of the policy
of non-recognition of revoluntary govern
ments. From now on" said Secretary
Stimson, "any government which is the ex-
preston of popular will, even if born of revo-

After celebrating for five days the

The ticket was completed in the evening
by the selection of John Garner, of Texas,

er boon companion, Mr.. Roosevelt. He was
backed by the greater majority of the dele
gates from New York, and those from Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and a
large block from Ohio.
Good judges cannot figure how it will
be possible for Mr. Roosevelt to carry his
state at the November election as Tammany
has a way of Furnishing it's enemies within
the party.
AS Governor, Mr.. Roosevelt has had to
deal quite severely with some of the graft
ing officials, children of Tammany,
The presidential candidate is clean,
high type citizen, but of mediocre ability. His
decisions as Governor have vacilated from al
most one extreme to another. He will be
particularly strong in the south and south
west, but weak in the East.
John Garner, the vice presidential can
didate is looked upon as being a stronger
man than Mr.. Roosevelt. His name will add
strength to the ticket.
Prohibition will be the big bugaboo of
the campaign. Some of those favoring the
repeal apparently imagine that the work can
be accomplished by the simple turning of the
wrist
In the last analysis the repeal plan
must take the re-submission route as recon-
mended in the Republican platform. It's a
long, long way to secure majority vote in
two-thirds of the state legislatures. The
solid south can be expected to vote against
the repeal and the state of Oklahoma was
made bone dry by the adoption of the con-
stitution when the state was organized.
Congress has the right to increase the
alcoholic content in beer, and this may be
done.
The Democratic platform did not declare
for any outstanding issues after the party
took their stand on prohibition.
