7O66 to 5S72, but New York state
had the largest total vote, 1924,
which went against the plan ale
most five to one.
Covers Wide Territory
The poll covered a far wider
area, and reached hundreds more
towns than indicated by the list
Of papers actually participating
For instance, the Elgin (Illo Cour-
ier-News reports returns from
40 cities In northern Illinois. "
The Cumberland (Md.) Times
had returns from 80 towns in A
states, Y while the Phoenix (Ariz)
Republic reported ballots from al
most every county in the state.
The CIarksburg wv. Va.) Inde-
pendent, It notes. covered 900
towns. This was true, OF course,
to a greater or lesser extent Of
every paper participating.
Voting, was entirely voluntary
except IN q few cases where GER
tain papers actively polled uni
versity cafnpuses OF special neigh
borhoods. Such ballots would not
be 5 per cent Of the total. Gen.
orally speaking, every vote tabu-
lated represents a person who felt
strongly enough about the matter
to clip the ballot, sign his name,
address 1t to the paper, put a
stamp on 1t, and mail 1t.
No Sign Of Padding"
Such a voluntary poll is, Of
course, open to the possibility of
"stuffing" by those interested In
showing a given result. There Is
no evidence that this happened in
the present poll.
While it is unlikely that many
papers checked names and ad-
dresses on each ballot received,
the ballot ran in most papers only
from three to five or six days,
leaving little time to organize any
very widespread "stuffing."
Further, the national tabulatoiS
were watchful for irregularities in
the daily returns, and almost none
turned up. 1t was the general rule
for city to start out with GER
tain relationship Of "yesses" ard
"noes" and maintain 1t throughout,
increasing only the total vote day
by day.
How One Town Ran

Many smaller cities with less
impressive total votes. polled as
great a proportion of their total
voting registration.
New England and the east were
definitely more heavily against
the plan than the midwest and
west, while the south maintained
favorable majority. 1t was slim,
however, compared to the over
whelming contrary majorities
rolled up In places like Boston,
where the Transcript registered q
46-l majority against the proposed
change.
The results of the poll are pre-
sented just as they came In from
the eager newspaper readers who
filled out the ballots. Whether
and to what extent they reflect
the opinion of the voters OF the
country, each must decide for him
self.

Here the ratio Of votes against

days passed, but the figures re-
veal no evidence Of organized ef-

other cities showed the same thing,

with relationship between the

And yet that same boy - for he is

Actors are a hard-working, serious
minded race. They toll over parts; they
drill at rehearsals; they spend years at
apprenticeship. The bright lights of
Broadway are for the public For
actors, the lights are bright only when
artistic achievement proves that their
labor has been justified.
| mentioned that Starr West Jones
studies the modern dance. How many
of the audience realize what toll - toll
that no steel puddler ever knows -
goes into training muscles so that they
respond to the dancers will? How
many realize what soul-provoking con-
centration upon the task goes into the
self-control that makes acting and
dancing an art?
We think of actors only as part of
the Hot Spot life Of great city. We
never think of the actor milking a COW,
his scri pit on his knee, utilizing the
rhythm of milking as stimulus to
memorizing. We think of actors and
actresses as play-boys and dizzy girls
- and how false conception!
No, it was not play-boys who took
a dying theater and revivihed it into
a glorious modern art that has, surely
this year, competed successfully with
movie and radio. For this has been
gloriously artistic year in the American
theater, with Shakespeare triumphant
and playing to standing room.
1t took men and women of spirit and
labor and talent to do that. 1t took
such men and women as this family of
Pawling farmers.

EsPA1RINc young people write
that bread alone is not the sub
- ject of youths complaint. They
want faith in themselves - faith in
the world - faith in the dignity of
man.
So the other day, | visited Starr
West Jones behind the scenes of "The
Eternal Road" - the biblical pageant
of eternal hope amid unending suffering.
Starr is young and strong and en-
thusiastic about Broadway and barns,
about make-believe scenery and honest
to-goodness pigs and chickens. For
Starr is an actor and of family of
actors. But Starr is also dirt farmer
of family of dirt farmers.
Just imagine his timetable. He plays
in the theater and takes an ll:4O PM
train after the show, which makes it
possible for him to get to his farm and
into bed by 2 Am. OF course, he sleeps
a spell on the train But he is up at
6 Am. to plow a field or to plant
potatoes.
The day before | interviewed him, he
had planted spinach, turnips, lettuce,
beets and carrots - and had done a
show the previous night. Just before he
takes the train back to New York, he
always has to milk his cows - and he
gets excited when he talks of their
high-test butter fat.
Just think: Starr West Jones and his
mother and a brother and a sister
found their stony acres in Dutchess
County, built the house they live in,
developed a small farm that pays,
organized summer theater at Pawling,
New York - the Starlight Theater -
which they manage, direct, act in,
paint the scenery - and make pay.
Can man do two jobs at once? Or
ten, Or anything? He can when there
