But this, according to Lawrence Veiller, author otf “A Model Housing Law,” is neither the problem nor its solution. “The housing problem,” Veiller says, “is the problem of enabling the great mass of people who want to live in decent surroundings and bring up their children under proper conditions to have such opportunity. It is also to a very large extent the problem of preventing other people from main- taining conditions which are a menace to their neighbors, to the community and to civilization.” Rightly, then, the solution to the housing prob- lem is considerable more than the mere addition of houses; something more than nails and lumber are needed. SLEEP FOR LITTLE FOLKS School children need a great deal of sleep. That is when they grow and when their brains develop. Permitting a child to remain up late at night has been condemned as a custom that is hound to re- flect on it disadvantageously. Among commonly accepted rules of medical au- thorities are those to the effect that a child of four should have 12 hours sleep: from five to seven between 11 and 12; from eight to 11 from 10 to 11 hours; and from 12 to 14 from nine to ten hours. They point out that tired children are slow to learn, fail to make proper school progress and fre- quently filter to the bottom of their classes. Chil- dren who seek their beds late are often disturbed by dreams, and so do not get the complete rest tc which they are entitled. And incidentally the doc- ters slyly suggest to mothers that they might get a little more rest themselves if the children were safe abed early in the evening. Frequently the paleness of the child ig really due to lack of enough sleep, with the remedy com- pletely and certainly in the hands of its parents. The formula for bright children is summed up in this: Plenty of sleep, much fresh air, wholesome food, all tempered with a moderate amount of out- door exercise. There was a day when in winter, to say nothing of summer, windows in sleeping rooms were closed so “the night air couldn’t get in.” That is a fetish that is exploded. The only kind of air at night is “night air.” And there you are. Physi- cians nowadays advise young and old to sleep with the windows wide open. The plan gives the lungs. some involuntary outdoor exercise that is bound t oaid in recreating the body tissues, used up during the day. SHOULD MEN BE GRACEFUL? “Feats of strength and dexterity are generally applauded while ihe more difficult accomplish- ments of combining strength and dexterity with grace and beauty attracts less attention.” Thus a magazine writer proceeds to start an ar- gument— “Should men be graceful?” He finds fault because Americans are more lib- eral in their applause for a Babe Ruth’s home run than for a Nijinsky leap on the stage; because Ted Shawn’s beautiful dancing doesn’t bring down he house in ‘the solid manner a Templeton raises havoc on the gridiron’ when he plaées his toes. to’ the pigskin. The writer comes to the conclusion that some day American men will strive more determinedly for gracefulness and beauty. When that time ar- rives there'll be few at the ringside to see a Demp- sey deliver a left jab to the jaw, and there’ll be more cheers for a Ted Shawn. All this may hap- pen; stranger things have thrust themselves into civilization as it marched along. But— Men ARE graceful. Ever see a man chopping wood, a man who knows how to handle an ax? There’s grace, and beauty, too. No man dancer ever exhibited more of grace and beauty than Ty Cobb does when sliding into sec- ond. Nijinsky’s leap is no more graceful than the submarine wind-up used by the celebrated Mister Mays of the New York Yankees. Of course it has to be admitted that such grace- ful creatures as Eddie Roush and Rogers Hornsby ‘ BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE are more or jess handicapped by overabundance of baseball uniform, but who is there to say that, garbed in a Ted Shawn veil, the stars of the dia- mond could not give Nijinsky cards and spades and beat him to the crown of gracefulness? Should men be graceful? Of course they should. The best argument is contained in this: Men are graceful. Ever watch a mason lay a row of oricks? How gracefully he does it. How grace- fully the structural iron worker trips along the geam 18 stories nearer the sky than you are. How gracefully Mike Gibbons skips about the rosined floor. How gracefully the farmer’s boy grabs a pig by the ear and tosses it out of the trough. Should men be graceful? Why waste time asking? Men ARE GRACE- FUL. : Ted Shawn isn’t the only work of art you can zall Mister. Butting-in seems to be a world-wide fad ; ranch- men find a dehorner a handy tool. At any rate, the lack of houses made it easier for Santa Claus to cover the territory. Bellicose nations will please postpone action un- til Leonard Wood gets into the cabinet. The passenger who was scalped in a railroad wreck when he went to collect damages was prob- ily charged for a hair cut. The remorseful tax payer who sent $2,250 back ‘axes to the government has no more conscience chan a lot of us; he simply has more money.

Mr. Ireland of Illinois has introduced in the douse of Representatives a short and salutary cesolution: “Resolved, That the Superintendent of the Capitol Building and Grounds be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to make a cantract. for the extermination and banish- ment of insects from the House wing of the Capitol and thé House Office Building at an expenditure not to exceed $1,700.” We would amend by making it apply to both ands of the Canitol and by defining insects as fol- lows: All delegates from the region of Tilipawunky Creek demanding appropriaions for widening and Jeepening that stream at public expense. All lobbyists seeking the special protection of their particular business at public expense. All persons with obsessions for forming new Government bureaus for the nourishment of un- important fads and the support of useless investi- gators at public expense. i For these are the flies in the Government oint-| ment, the black beetles in the appropriation am- oer, the jiggers in the toe of economy and the Jeas that bite the bankroll of the taxpayer. Out with every insect in the national Capiol, whether it be entomological or intellectual.—_New York Herald. SPECULATIVE, IF LEGAL Grand Forks and other North Dakota investers ‘in the stock of the Collins Safety Razor company would like to know what has become of the money whic hthey put into the business. It is estimated that the Grand Forks investments in this stock amount to about $20,000, and that the invest- ments from the entire state will aggregate ten times that sum. The company is now in the hands of a-recsiver, with liabilities placed at $225,000, and assets unreported. There is nothing in the facts thus far reported d indicate that fraud has been committed. There may have been no fraud. But the fact, if it is a fact, that the business of the company has been zonducted honestly and with the best intentions will not bring back money that has been lost in an anprofitable business venture. It is often the part of wisdom for an individual to invest money in new, and untried: enterprises. {f theprospective investor has ample means at hig disposal, so that the loss of his investment will not inconvenier.e him, he can afford to risk some- ‘hing on the chance of reaping large returns. Or if the enterprise is closely related to the regular business of the individual, he may be able to af- ford some hazzard on the chance of developing an industry which will have value to him as a mem- ber of the community, apart from any dividends which it may pay. There has never been a time when a better op- portunity existed for the investment of small sums in sound securities yielding excellent returns. Lib- erty bonds, the best security in the world, can‘be bought at prices to yield upwards of five per cent. Gilt-edge securities of private corporations are ob- tainable just now at unusually low rates. Any ) SESE MT eS, BIG “COMMUNITY GONG” INSTALLED BY NEW YORK CLUB AS PROTECTON ‘IN FIGHT AGAINST WAGE OF CRIME New York, Dec. 28,.—One of the most novel methods thus far devised by private citizens to protect themselves against the onsldughts of thugs and gunmen was di ribed by A. M. Guinz- burg, vice president and chairman of the house committee of the Progress club, Eighty-sixth street and Central Park West. “We had devised a community scheme that we think will protect us against attack, or will bring quick help if we are invaded,” — said Mr. Guinzburg. “Tomorrow we are going to invtal! on the corner of our building @ huge electric gong. It will be put in such a way that the wires can not be cut. From it will run wires to con- cealed floor push buttons in all parts of the club. “If, an invader enters any member or attendant can step on one of these buttons. At once the gong will set up a great clatter. It can be heard by policemen within two blocks in the daytime and within five blocks at night, we estimate. ~. 5,000 FEET OF MAINS LIAD AT INDIAN AGENCY Fort Yates, Dec. 28—The crew of men who have been at work here the last two months repairing and making extensions to the water mains of the agency, in the employ of Carl Win-| bauer of Mandan, contractor, have practically finished their work, having laid in all nearly 5000 feet of pipe. The work here has been largely under the supervision of Robert Winbauer, Carl Winbauer’s brother. The Standing Rock hotel, which was leased by Winbauer and Ki n so that the men working on the mains could be furNished board and lodging, closed until after the first of ur, when a few of the present crew will return to complete a num- ber of odd jobs w h still remain.
