CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Dividing the Working Time ‘There have been a lot of suggestions of how to take up the slack in unemployment and save the country from. going inevitably into communism, but Henry Ford has offered a good one. It is captains of industry, in fact, who must solve this problem of providing jobs for the men who are bowled out of employment by efficiency and standardization, which is the present big national problems It is an expert's task. Ford and such men at the head of industry are the ones to understand and solve the riddle. Ford says that workers must be put on a 10-months year, the other two months to be devoted, to rest in the summer, when factory work is difficult. Union workers have suggested that a five-day week or a week of reduced hours, as six to a day, would solve the problem. Operation of machinery which standard- jzes the output and overproduces under present hours could thus be put on a basis of shifts which would ab- sorb the slack in employment. All workers would work at the Ford scale of high wages and would be able on their earnings to devote more hours to recreation. The Ford idea bunches the idle time. That would per- mit the workers to enjoy vacations of concentrated per- jods, when they could go around the country on automo- pile tours and learn the wonders of the nationaledomain and see its scenic wonders. It would broaden the na- tional mina, make better Americans. Shorter hours daily would merely permit local use of the idle time. They would not be broadening, merely mitigating subterfuges. Perhaps, also, as a matter of overhead, the shorter hours would not be as advantageous as the proposed summer idleness of two months. Arthur Brisbane suggests that there is‘a problem of saving involved in the Ford proposal. So there is. He says the squirrels and Indians know what the plan in- volves. The squirrels hoard nuts, the Indians dry pem- mican. American labor can learn how to do It. The fact is that American labor years ago kflew how to meet this situation. That was before the tin can cra. Housewives of workers preserved a lot of food for the slack season of winter. Workers’ families lived on the fat of the land in dull times. Work was their cash crop. Preserving food was a mode of living, which is what farming used to be considered to be. Brisbane looks at the problem from the arithmetical angle. Two months is a sixth of a year. Therefore, in the ten months it is up to the worker to save a sixth of his income. : . The possibility of nurturing communism is foreseen by Brisbane. He says the Ford proposal is just what has been the policy in the garment and cloak industry. The employers in that big industry have been compelling workers to take off time during the summer, but these workers have been able to save, and the months taken off without pay, sometimes half of the year, have tended to make communists of the employes. Perhaps it would be wise to adjust pay so that the idlers, enjoying the two-months vacation proposed by Ford, would receive income at the time of idleness. Anyhow, work is too much monopolized by those who have jobs to insure a healthy condition of the nation in the face of unemployment. Some means of a fairer divi- sion must be found if the rational industrial system is to survive successfully. The industrial problems of this country, in fact, are more pressing and important than the political. It is not congress, but men like Ford, who must set this coun- try aright if it is to keep an even keel. Perhaps it were more to the point to say “if it is to survive.” The Children’s Heritage Every boy has a right to a marble game in his own back yard. And every little girl is entitled to a crooked apple tree under which she may spread her dolls and chairs and dishes and play at keeping house. But the heritage is being removed. Back yards are going. Freedom to romp and dream is giving way to the god of efficiency. Approximately one-half of all living accommodations being provided by new-construction in cities of the United States are apartments, it is indicated by the U. S. labor department's latest study of city building activity. Data for the year of 1929, just made public, show that. 48.6 per cent of all families housed in new construction last year moved into the apartment type of dwelling. There was @ corresponding decrease in “single” houses. Apartments may be time and labor savers for adults. they may simplify the business of housekeeping but they complicate the duties of home-making, if there are chil- dren in the family. Four walls are not enough for any child. His kingdom lies outside, where the sun shines and the wind blows and his gang waits. But if there-is no yard where he may wander and be contented his vision is going to be- come as dwarfed as a body which does not know the out- coor world. 4 child is happier and healthier, more in tune with life, when he watches the seeds push through the soil in his own garden; when he hears the birds that sing at morning in his own trees; when he has a rope swing from which he can look far into the tree-tops, and « sand Pile to mate bridges and dams or mud cakes. A child who is reared in an apartment house has no room for pets. A dog would be in the way. He can't bring @ stray puppy home from school to warm and feed it now and then. Rabbits are beyond the pall. He can't feel a “sense of beauty stirring in his own “strange little heart, just because the roses are pink and fragrant on the bushes and the sweet peas are beginning to grow. He doesn’t even have a lawn to sprinkle, with the cool fine spray splashing his bare, tanned feet. Little boys and girls have a thousand nerves to make them wiggle and not one to help them keep still. Apart- ment houses which boast of the living facilities which they can pack into a small amount of space, may be con- venient for adults but plainly they were not intended for children. A red-blooded, strong-legged child certainly isn't. going to be content.to listen to the radio and read w house and knows that it is his house. There isn’t much fun in looking at a big brick building and saying you be- long some place “up there.” Apartment houses may be convenient for their parents | but they are pretty hard on the kids. . i} A New Crisis in Washington | The game of pussy-wants-a-corner seems to be under | way again in Washington. . Last year, you remember, the juvenile game was staged around the dinner tables of official Washington, in an attempt to see who should have the higher social seating, Alice Longworth, as wife of the speaker of the house, or Mrs. Edwatd Everett Gann, as hostess for her brother, Vice President Curtis. That was finally dropped and the two women sat down and ate their hors d’ocuvres quite socially. . Now it has been aunounced tnat Mrs. Longworth will aid Mrs. Ruth McCormick, an intimate friend, in the lat- ter’s campaign for the senatorial nomination in Mlinois. The comment by a woman editor followed that Alice's aid would probably resolve itself into merely posing for the photographers, and this immediately provoked a storm. Whether Alice has profile views, front views, or no views taken, isn’t important. But people have to realize, regardless of their own opinions concerning the social mixup, that there isn't any other woman who can get the public interest, whether she wants it or not, in the way that Mrs. Longworth can, Then there's the philosophic banker who regards the curb quotations, In South America, a scientist says, there is a fly that can travel 800 miles an hour. In New Jersey there is a flyer who may go after the record. Editorial] Comment Something to Think About (Chicago News) Sociologists and biologists will be kept busy for many months by the task of interpreting the 1930 population figures compiled by the census bureau. Some of the re- turns carry obvious morals; others will require illumina- tion from several points of view. What the United States supreme court called “the American empire” is growing as a whole and in virtually every constituent part. In the last decade continental United States scored the largest numerical gain in its history. The population of the American empire is estimated at 137,502,303; the population of the continental United States at 122,729,615.. The rate of growth in the last decade—16.1 per cent—in the continental arga is not un- precedgnted. Indeed, it is lower than th@rate in any other decade in the history of the republic, with the exception of that ended in 1920. But the numerical in- | crease during the last ten years—over 17,000,000—is re- | markable because it was made despite rather drastic} legislation restricting immigration from the old world, and despite a declining birth rate. To what extent immigration, legitimate and bootleg, from Mexico and other American countries contributed ; to the numerical increase, is an interesting question de- manding scientific attention. The United States is growing and multiplying, but there is nothing strange in that phenomenon. The re- public is young, robust, progressive and, as a rule, pros- perous. Its natural resources are far from exhausted or from nearing exhaustion, though rational conservation is imperative in various directions. Technically, econom- ically and culturally American achievement and prospects are the wonder and inspiration of the world. There are certain trends to be studied and controlled, notably the tendency to too rapid urbanization. authentic progress, Happily, This Is a Wide Country (Duluth Herald) If this nation were no larger than the drought area, the combination of heat and drought would undoubtedly have been a m; jor calamity. But because it is so large a country, with so many yarieties of climate, at this moment nobody knows far sure whether the drought on the whole has not brought more good than harm. Certainly it has brought harm, but certainly i: has also brought good. In individual cases, and perhaps in some communities, it has done so much harm that outside help may be needed. # Fortunately these cases probably ~re much rarer than many suppose. The loss in production, which is obliterating the grain surplus that recently caused so much concern, has been followed by a rise in prices that in most cases, and per- haps in the country as a whole, will more than wipe out the loss. A farmer whose crop has been cut twenty per cent by drought, but whose prices have been increased twenty- five per cent by the same drought, will make more money than he would have made if the weather had behaved as usual. The farms that are a total loss, and the communities that are anywhere near a total loss, are very few. Ex- treme conditions are highly localized and widely scat- tered. When the drought breaks, as it will almost any moment now, it will be possible accurately to ai the results, and it is ten to one that the country will find that it has not been as badly hit as it feared, and it is an even bet that the general effect will prove beneficial. It Is No Place for Chopin | (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) | ‘When Ignace Paderewski plays a Chopin nocturne be- fore an audience he can bring the hundreds to the qufet, dreamy and romantic mood suited to the theme. Let him but try the same masterpiece in the quiet of a hotel room and the result is different. The test has just been made in Paris. As the soft and mellow notes fell from the skilled fingers of the pianist, a pounding came upon the door and a voice belonging to the occupant of the next room cried out, “When you get through running those scales, perhaps I can get some sleep. It's terrible that noise.” Among the things which appeal from the incident ‘is the fact that an eminent musician may like a joke, for Paderewski told the story upon himself. Another is that a noise to a sleepy person is merely a noise, no mat- ter by whom it may be made, which should give con- solation to amateurs whose harmohics have distracted others. It also emerges that a person who probably would be glad to.pay good money to hear Paderewski play Chopin in a concert hall has no use for him in another environment. Which only goes to prove that all things, even the best of music played by a master interpreter, has its proper place and sphere: Candidate Corn (New York Herald-Tribune) Because it is as graceful and decorative as it is valu- able and sustaining, the campaign to make corn our na-| tional plant emblem has been renewed.

This lat- ter is a functional disorder of the nervous system. There is always a predisposing au- totoxemia present which is made worse by fatigue poisons. It is scarce- ly possible for enough of the latter to form for it alone to cause the cramps. Those who are most subject to the nervous type of cramps are writers, telegraphers, musicians and seam- stresses.

It was strange and unreal }to see the waiters and the manager bowing before the great dancer all those men in their black and white, with their dark heads and pale foreign faces, bowing deferen- tially before little Judy Grant. “Let's walk, Bastien,” she said, “I do love walking in New York. And it's such a lovely day!” He walked as close to her as he dared. Sometimes her shoulder touched his arm, and the touch gave him a thrill of pain like a knife. He loved her so—and she would never, never love him. Yes, indeed, she did love him— she loved him with a wonderful love; but it was not what~ he wanted. Still, he must not be un- grateful. Like her. he was humble of heart, and he felt that he could never have been worthy of her. They found Chummy at work in her studio.

CORALIE STA NTON and JU ATH Judy greeted Alan cordially. He was just a little more distant than he used to be. They talked. Juay asked after everybody. She planned a dinner party and an evening together, with all the boys and Clara Jenks. They would dine at Ginori’s and end up at the Cafe Turc. : Bastien, her faithful attendant, left with her when she went. She shook hands with Alan. Just for a second their eyes met. Hers were smiling bravely, consciously. His were dark with something that looked like ineffable reproach. Quickly she ran down the stairs, as if from danger. She knew that Alan still loved her but he was be- having as he ought to. He had re- turned to Chummy. Evidently he saw that it was his duty. It was all coming out right. All that Judy had to do was to keep it up until Chummy and Alan had finally come together and were married. Afterward — well, no need to think about that. “Judy, why are you friends with Gideon again?” asked Bastien, as they walked back to her hotel. “Oh!” she said airily. “I changed my mind, After all, he did it out of Kindness. And I’m paying him back, every penny.” “People say you are going to marry him,” he went on. “Do they?” she asked scoffingly. “People always know such a lot, don’t they, Bastien?” “Oh, Judy!” he said, with his eyes fixed~on her face in burning appeal. “I do wish—” But she held up her little gloved hand and stopped his further speech. “Dear Bastien,” she said, “I love you very much indeed. You are my dearest friend, but I can’t let you interfere with my life, or—or with my other friends.” After that he could say no more. He had never seen Judy so serious. There was something implacable about her. She almost frightened him. MaApANe DE TOROS and Judy stood together in a large And room in Bruce Gideon's ‘apartment.

These are harmless and will disclose whether or not you have a tapeworm. If not, you must force yourself to take a fruit fast, during which time, strange as it may seem, your craving will disappear for good, and when you return to a regular diet you should have a more normal hun- ger without the false craving.
