FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1919 Fashions A Government Concern Many signs point to the breaking down of the differences that have long existed between the urban and the rural districts. The rural tele- phone has put the people of the farm on an equal footing with those of the city and the town, so far as relation with the market and communication between friends and neighbors are concerned. The rural free delivery has brought ths daily newspaper to the farmer's doorstep as it is brought to the home of the resident of the city, and the general adoption of the automobile by the rural population has eliminated the distance betwzen the farm dweller and the attractions of the nearest center, for purpose of industrial and commercial exchange, as well as for the enjoyment of the superior educational advantages of the town or city and, what is of really greater moment to the young people of the farm, for the possession of whatever opportunities for amuse- ment is enjoyed by the people of the nearby town or city. Now the government of the United States is taking up another phase of the rural problem, a purely feminine problem this time, for it is present- ing through the extension department of the state universities under the auspices of the Department of Agri- culture pamphlets upon the always absorbing topic of the fashions. In the country, under the old regime of isolation, the catalogue of a place second only to that enjoyed by the Holy Scriptures on the family living room table, and as a general thing this great book gave evidence of far more frequent use than the more sacred volume. Today the gov- ernment is taking a hand in the mold- | ing of the taste of the farming popu- | lation through the introduction of | such fundamental subjects as "Ar- tistic Dress" and "Fashion, Its Use and Abuse," in which there is instruc- tion to be had upon the matter of the effect of correct and incorrect lines in dress. It was only a very few weeks af-| ter the United States entered the war that the American public began to realize the important part that the rural population played in the na- tional life. Urban dependence upon the industries centered about the farm there must always be, but, when things are running the normal course, there is a general failure to recognize this important fact. There is noth- ing Eagle S to the well being of a nation'than acontented and pros- perous rural population. Whatever tends to contribute to this state of affairs is, then, important to pzople everywhere, and the extension course in fashions comes under this head. The Dash Over Seas The non-stop trip in a heavier than air machine has beesn achieved and the possibility of crossing the At- lantic in.a single dash has been es- tablished. The perils of the trip have not been overcomz, however, and it will probably be some time before the air becomes the chosen route to the British Isles. The main gain of the flight of the heavier than air machines from thz western to the eastern shore of the Atlantic is in the demonstration of the difficulties that must be over- come before the traffic may bzcome anything but a sporting adventure. a, It is not feasible for a transportation service to have to wait, ready for the start, until weather conditions are just right. There can be no regu- larity of schedule in such a service and the element of saving time, fre- quently the most important consider- ation in the choice of the means of left out of the case. If there is a future for the heavier than air ma- chine for overseas transportation there will have to be found some means of meeting any weather con- ditions that may arisa. Strained Relations It would be a most dzplorable situa- tion 'if there should result" fr®m the friction that has developed between President Wilson and the Congress !a strained relation between this country and Grz2at Britain. One ad- vantage, and almost the only one be- yond the holding of our own self- respect, that this country has secured irom participation in the World War has been the establishment of more cordial relations betwezn us and our cousins across the waters. During the century of peace that has exist- ed between the mother country and the rebellious daughter theare has persisted a critical and prejudiced state of mind in each regarding the other. England has quite frankly labeled us a nation of dollar chasers, remarked upon our lack of culture and refinement, laughed a little at our queer ways. The American has not failed to note and to mention with a fine disregard as to who might happen to hear the general satisfaction that the Britisher feels with all thing British, failing to see in the diffidence of the Englishman fine self-restraint and desire to live up to whatever he considers the re- quirements of the situation. We have in general mistaken this for smugness and a silent criticism of other nations and ways not British. The United States did a really fine thing in entering the war. We went in in splendid spirit and there is nonz2 today who would seek to win any material benefit from the part that we have played. It was a necessary step to take, with us as with other transportation over seas, is entirely' nations engaged, and we might with them claim some territorial advan- tage with as good right. It is to our national credit that we have re- frained and the good opinion that we have won from the other nations has been well -carned. It is the greater pity, then, that there should be any question raised as to the willingness of the United States to accept in good faith the uprightnazss of the representatives of the other nations at the peace conference, at least until such time as we shall hav some evidence to the contrary. The sad part of the situation is that we are utterly at a loss to know just how much there is of fact in the ru- mors of disaffection towards the United States in England. News has so consistently been confused with propaganda in the reports of happen- ings in Europe since the beginning of the sessions of the peace conferenc: that it is impossible to know what is written for the effect that it will have upon public opinion in America and what has for its sole purpose the acquainting of the American public with what is going forward in Paris. However, there is enough upon our conscience in the situation between England and America to lend color to a report of a general disposition in England to reconsidzr the good opinion that had been developed.
