Sett'ing the Coal Strike { It teok a hard-headed business man to settle the anthracite ccal strike. Some of the politicians may believe they had a hand in bringing peace to the warring factions cf the Pennsylvania hard coal zone. President Coolidge disclaims any credit. He washed his hands of the affair carly in the strike, real- izing that a political settlement would be tempo- rary-at best. | After the politicians became tired and eliminated sqthemselves from the conferences, Richard F, Grant breught about a settlement upon the only —that of arbitration. Economie condi played a strong hand in the settlement. Substi- tutes for hard coal relieved the situation and oper- ators and miners realized that the world could worry along their product. Hard coal! grates were being discarded” throughout the east for oil burne One Minneapolis manufacturer of oil burners announced that New York City was tak- ing his entire output. The min go back to work at the old wages and agree to submit differences to arbitration, As soon as some of the leaders of crganized labor learn that political settlement of labor troubles are a de- lusion and a snare, they will go to the root of the matter by dealing exclusively with the parties most concerned. The peo ns made a very poor showing in the anthracite controversy despite the fact that they are claiming much of the honor of settlement. Why a Budget Board? Efforts of Secretary Mellon to bring about sci- entific financing of the federal government are be- ing blocked by the small fry politicians of the Unit- ed States senate. Not satisfied with the nonpar- tisan tax reduction bill as it came from the House, those interested in postponing tax reduction have slashed the total of income possible under the meas- ure nearly $600,000,000. The Treasury Depart- ment placed the safe point for tax relief at $350,- 000,000. Added to the warnings of the Treasury Department is the experience of the Budget Board. “The advice of the experts is thrown to the winds and the Senate proposes to insist upon tax reduc- ticn far in excess of safety. It is hoped that the conferences in progress wil! iron out the difficulties and the resultant measure will be one which President Coolidge can sign. Business generally is marking time awaiting the outcome of the tax bill. There has been a general _ slowing down throughout the nation which will con- tinue until it is known just what reserves must be set up for taxes.

Gossips Gossips are blamed for the murder of a woman in the town of Beaver City, Neb., said to have been poisoned by a neighbor woman. The accused woman and her husband had to move twice because of gossips, they told officials, and the wagging tongues seem finally to have led to a mis- understanding that resulted in murder, There’s nothing much you can say about gossip. Everybody condemns it and everybody does it. There's no way to stop it. Fortunately, however, | really intelligent people don’t do it. For What? The hard coal strike is over, virtually. There have been several months of idleness and the result | has been—resumption of work under practically the same conditions as attended the start of the strike. What was it all about? Did the miners benefit— losing their pay, staying idle, going hungry, some- times? Did the owners win—seeing their plants shut down, the flow of profits cut off?

(Macfadden, Publications) The Americar home is progress and prosperity. When the home loses its influence, the nation is doomed. When we fail to glorify the home, we then take the downward path. ‘ The home should be given its due reverence, Within its sacred precincts we find the founda- tion of everything that leads ty worth-while achievements. Therefore, let us exalt and sanctify the home! a scurce of our present It satisfies the deep-seated yearning that comes, to every human soul. happiness. Gold help those who have been denied the ex- alted privilege of home making! They are to be pitied! And often they are the It brings peace, content and $s victims of misguided enthusiasts who have failed to grasp the fundamental principles of the great truths of life. To pessess something that is worth more than life itself should indeed be considered an inspiring privilege, And where is there a mother or father who will not admit that he loves any one cr all of his chil- dren more than life itself? When an emergency arises wherein a parent can save a loved one by sacrificing his own life, a de- ion is quickly made in favor of his progeny. “Glorify God your bodies” is a Divine, Biblical command! mt But many really religious people fail to catch the proper vision cf the bodily needs. they are unfortunately minus the vitality essential in the building of family life, and sometimes they become obsessed with a wrong idea of the influence of bodily strength, vitality, and beauty. They are wont at times te criticize severely those who find inspiration in the sculptured outlines of bodily beauty. Let us hope that this sacrilegious attitude towards the body that was made in God’s image will soon disappear. This disrespect cast upon the flesh and bleod hcuse in which we live is one of the principal causes of limited families and the popularization of the frail physique which often brings sterility and at times physical, moral and spiritual disaster. Nearly all criminals are defective physically. There are few exceptions. We hear so much at this time about the menace of the crime wave. But back of ail the evi to as the cause of the crime wave is the fast grow- ing disrespect for the American home, Marriages are decreasing; divorces are increasing, A body that is glowing with health can never house the mind cf a criminal. And not until this great outstanding cause of criminality is fully recognized and properly reme- died can we expect a satisfactory decrease in crim- inality. tiny ‘ The American home can be stabilized and perpetu- ated only by maintaining the vitality and vigor of our people, ay, To glorify the home we must first give due rev- érence to our glorious bodies. We must exalt and tdignify them to the highest pinnacle of human | thought. Then family life will be honored, above every- thing. ha in their family duties will tized!

I'will say this for my father: Once decided, he put a thing through. He walked over to my mother’s desk and wrote me a check. for,4wo hundred and fifty dollars. This seemed to me, who had never had in all my life before more than ten-sol- lars. could call my own, ‘untold wealth, but I schooled myself to act very calm and casual as I took the check from his hand. Was I mis- taken, or did his hand tremble? Any- way, I could not help but notice that my mother was sobbing. “Thank you, sir,” I said, “and I want you to trust me. I'll make good. You'll be as proud of me yet as though I were a boy.” (Copyright, 1926, NEA Service, Inc.)
