J i: SAFEGUARDING SUBMARINES. T" HE appalling submarine disaster Off A Cape Cod is bringing s storm of protest . against the inadequacy or protective equipment in cases of submarine accidents.

Now and again they spoke In hammer laps against the steel walls of their prison, but ships and men were taelp- -' less to rescue them.

R survey of the culture of American cities for the, National Association of Book Publishers has just been completed by Rev. Charles Francis ' Potter of New York City. According to Mr. Potter's findings Pittsburgh ranks lowest in culture among the nation's cities and Cleveland stands at tlie head. New York City is just average and Chicago is on a level with TWO-YEA- A Dayton, Tennessee. Culture is a very elastic term and the chances are that Mr. Potters conclusions regarding the degree of culture of various American cities will not be accepted as authority. Germany boasted a superior kul-t- ur before the war but its chief ingredients were pride, arrogance and Soviet Russia today boasts of its culture hut , other nations want none of it. Reverend Potter lakes for his standards for measurement of a city's culture its bookstores, its schools and its libraries. The libraries of New York City are poor, its schools are medium, bpt its bookstores are excellent. Pittsburgh and Columbus, Ohio,; are both, according to Mr. Potter's survey, low Ifl culture. Cleveland is the' highest spot in the cultural map, having during the last five years, surpassed Boston. The real test in the choice of Cleveland as the most cultural city seems to have been iti the consumption of books and in its school system. This fine manufacturing city on Lake Erie makes an annual appropriation of 139 per capita for public library maintenance. It may be said that no accurate measurement for determining the degree of culture of a city has yet been devised. No doubt man prov thslr ersatntas by dying it aUy.

What is mope important than population, to a great city, influeoca of eminent individuals, the opportunity for leisure, the message of beauty and grandeur in works of art and in public buildings, and the various monuments of a glorious past these are factors in the determination of relative culture and their character is such as to escape an investigation like that of Mr. Potters.
