JOHN T. ADAMS COMPARES AMERICA WITH EUROPE Probably nine out of ten Americans who travel in Europe will agree with the assertion made by Chairman John Adams, of the Republican national committee, that "comparison of conditions there and in this country strengthens confidence in American institutions." Most of those who habitually criticise things American and praise everything European are people who travel little, if any, in Europe, and know little about this country. With all its faults, and they are neither many nor serious, our system of government is the best in the world and most conducive to the welfare and happiness of the great mass of the people. There will also be pretty general agreement, among people not prejudiced by partisan bias, with that other assertion made by Mr. Adams on his return from Europe, that "the program of reconstruction, formulated and executed by this administration, affords a high example to all nations, which they could follow to their profit and to the security and the peace of the entire world." This administration has gone about the task of reconstruction in a sane and business-like way. It has not been playing to the galleries. There has been no boasting of what is to be done. There have been no sensational declarations, no staging of "crises," no seeking for the limelight of public attention. With a deliberation that inspires confidence, Mr. Harding and his associates have undertaken their difficult tasks with that same thoughtful care that characterizes every successful business man in the management of large private business affairs. The nerves of American enterprise have not been racked from day to day by sensational announcements from the white house or the other, but rather that the same sort of alterations are now succeeding each other indefinitely, as in earlier historic times. "It is also believed that the amount of change, if any, is too small and the extent of the territory involved too indefinite to be of economic interest. Until definite knowledge is available concerning the law of sequence of weather conditions and possible periodic cycles affecting the weather are quantitatively established, scientific long range forecasting is impracticable." GROWTH OF CHILDREN The children of California are larger and heavier than those of corresponding ages living in the east and middle west, according to Dr. L. Emmett Holt, vice-president of the American Child Health association, in his recent book, "Food, Health and Growth." "This is largely due to a climate which gives greater opportunity for out-of-door life," the author goes on to say and qualifies this by remarking that while it was once thought that the stature of certain races was due to climate it is now generally believed that these racial differences are chiefly the result of differences in food. "That the size of the Japanese is greatly influenced by their diet during the growth period can be hardly doubted," says Dr. Holt. "Dr. Hirai, professor of pediatrics in the Imperial university of Kyoto, in response to my inquiry concerning the usual food of Japanese children, replied that rice was their most important food after infancy, they had much fish, but little meat, no milk, cheese or butter, a great many green vegetables and a good many sweets. This diet would seem clearly to be deficient in growth proteins. The weight and height of Japanese children show interestingfly, and the honor of the state.

The California railway was honored by rye from the other weeked in this proceeded Gordon act as chief western states, alr requested by the other western brief on behalf of well as for the stawhich he represents Mr. Adams is well within the truth when he asserts that two years ago there was not so great a contrast between conditions in Europe and in the United States. As he says: "Then our percentage of unemployment was not much less than Europe's, our government bonds were away below par, our business interests were fearful of the future, and there was a general feeling of uncertainty and unrest. All this has been changed. The transformation has not been accidental. It has been due largely to the constructive policies of the Republican party, enacted into law and carried into execution by the Harding administration. Without exaggeration it may be stated that for 50 years no party ever came into power confronted by more problems vital to the welfare of the American people. In the face of unusually trying conditions, President Harding has given the United States the best business administration in the history of the country. This has been mainly responsible for the improvement in conditions in the United States during the past two years." Every man who will take the trouble to check back over the record of the past two years will heartily agree with everything Mr. Adams says. Mr. Harding has encouraged every line of business to go ahead. He began by trying to get agricultural industries back on their feet, and he succeeded better than anyone expected he could. He has tried to keep the throttling grip of bureaucracy off the throat of industry. He has consistently pursued his policy of more business in government and less government in business. He has reduced public expenses and made possible reduction in federal tax rates. At the same time, business has improved and taxpayers are better able to pay. No country in Europe, as Mr. Adams indicates, has made such pro-doubt," says Dr. Holt. "Dr. Hirai, professor of pediatrics in the Imperial university of Kyoto, in response to my inquiry concerning the usual food of Japanese children, replied that rice was their most important food after infancy, they had much fish, but little meat, no milk, cheese or butter, a great many green vegetables and a good many sweets. This diet would seem clearly to be deficient in growth proteins. The weight and height of Japanese children show interesting comparisons with American children. During the first year there is almost no difference, but after infancy when the general diet is taken the divergence of the curves both for weight and height is very striking." Dr. Holt also claims that Japanese children living in this country are larger for their age than those who have remained in Japan, due, doubtless, to different living conditions and to the difference in diet. The same principle, he believes, applies to other foreign children or the children of foreign parents living in this country. "I can speak from personal observation upon the Russian Jews," he says. "Those adults who come to the United States are, for the most part, scarcely taller than the Italians. But the children of the successful and prosperous ones, those who have become to a considerable degree Americanized, are almost as large as those of our native-born population; the children are frequently four or five inches taller than their parents. No such results of emigration, however, are seen among the very poor, whose food and mode of life have been little altered from those of their parents. "It is my own observation, corroborated by most of the physicians with whom I have discussed the subject, that among the most intelligent classes, the generation of American boys and girls, now fully grown, is larger and heavier than their parents. This result is due, I believe, to better feeding in infancy and early childhood, and no doubt to increased attention given out of door interests during the period of growth." While Dr. Holt does not claim that large stature is a desirable thing for individuals, "still," he asserts, "a fine physical development is everywhere regarded as an asset of no mean value. The handicap of a frail body and habitually poor health is a very serious one. We certainly owe it to every boy and girl to give them the opportunity to reach the best physical development of which they as individ- When Rupert Brown English poet, heard declared war on Germany, "Well, if I may as well be the further ado, he at once away, girded his head to the front with Quickly the scholar lowed his lead.

The fact that the past two years have been unusually mild in most parts of the United States has inspired the belief that the warm periods are growing longer. Records can be furnished to disprove the contention, the bureau stated. "Periods have occurred in the past and will occur again, when for a few years the weather has seemed or will seem to be noticeably warmer or colder than the average," the bureau said. While there are well recognized alterations in climatic conditions, as of wet and dry, hot and cold, etc., little is known with regard to definite laws of weather conditions over extended periods of years. Within ordinary historic times there is practically no evidence that there has been a definite and progressive change in the climate in one direction. Hon. James J. Davis, secretary of labor, has announced plans for a country-wide Americanization drive, to the end that the half of the foreign population which is not American, be educated to desire and be fit for citizenship. "We are confronted with a serious problem in our alien population," said Mr. Davis. "We have 14,000,000 foreigners in America,7,000,000 of whom live among us without assuming the duties of American citizenship. We propose to enroll these aliens, to take an annual census of them, in order to provide for them the opportunity to learn what the privileges and duties of American citizenship are. "We propose to Americanize the alien before he alienizes America. We propose to make him a citizen if he proves worthy of citizenship, and to send him whence he came if he proves unworthy.

"From all the world there arises a missa of foul political economic, and social doctrine which breeds a fever of revolt against all law and order, a plague of hate and destruction. In this new conflict America must hold fast to those eternal principles of right and justice laid down in our fundamental laws. American citizenship must have behind it honest patriotism, love of liberty and respect for law. We must stand firm on the principles enunciated in the birth of the republic. "We must pledge ourselves that representative government shall endure." Plans for the organization of naturalized immigrant Americans for patriotic service are being worked out by the labor department. FIGHTING INCREASED RATES Hugh Gordon, chief counsel of the railroad commission, has returned from Washington, where he completed the case of the California railroad commission before the interstate commerce commission in the extremely important proceeding involving rates of the American Railway Express company throughout the country. Mr. Gordon announced that final arguments in this proceeding will be submitted at Washington June 28 and 29. The California railroad commission was honored by receiving a request from the other western states involved in this proceeding that Attorney Gordon act as chief counsel for all the western states, and Mr. Gordon was requested by the representatives of the other western states to prepare a brief on behalf of all these states as well as for the state of California, which he represented. who can crawl into a shell-crater on No Man's Land and write a poem about fairies, has the soul of a poet. READY FOR A CLEAN-UP Bankers and business men who have been investigating the situation repeat their warnings that stock sharpers, speculators and crooks are all set for a big clean-up when the government has redeemed all the Victory bonds and war savings stamps which recently matured. The crooked dealers are the more cheery in their preparations because so many of these government securities are in the hands of men and women with little experience in finance and therefore the more likely to be tempted by the glittering promises of risky investments. If every person who receives payment for his war securities will remember at what sacrifice he made his savings and them, he will be less likely to part unwisely with the money he receives for them. If every such holder will make up his mind to invest his money with neither friend nor stranger whose scheme will not stand investigation by accredited banking and business authorities, he will not be likely to go amiss.

Rupert Brooke and Robert Nichols sung of English Hawthorne and of English sky, and of the privilege they deemed it to be to fight for these things. Charles Sorely, Allan McInosh and Julian Grenfell tuned their lyres to tell of the love of comrade for comrade in the intimacy of war. Allan Seegar ran out a challenge to his America, and John McRae charged the living not to break faith with the dead. Robert Service breathed a passionate love for the Canadian maplie; while the golden wattle bloom and the eucalyptus gum of Australia found their way into the verse of Tom Skeyhill.
