Where the Wind Blows ‘There is more than a little in- dication of intent in Governor Langer’s letter to school board mem- bers throughout the state asking their opinion on a special election. To be sure the executive directs attention to the school finance issue, coupling it with an argument for the sales tax, but this will hardly fool those familiar with the executive and his ways, The probability is that a special election will be called with the sales tax issue given as the primary cause and the prohibition matter classified by the executive as an incidental matter. In this way, he may be- lieve, he can escape criticism from both the wets and the drys. Obviously the governor believes that the sales tax measure will have a better chance of approval by the people if he enlists the interest of school directors throughout the state. If it is hooked up with belief that 8 vote for the sales tax means sup- Port of our common school system it will be hard to beat, The fact, of course, is that it would be cheaper for the average school district to vote more direct taxes for school purposes than to indorse the sales tax. As a political maneuver the gesture has its points, for Governor Langer desperately wants a tax on nearly everything that people sell or use in order to fill the state's coffers, Whether or not it is successful re- mains to be seen. School directors are certainly of average intelligence and may see through the scheme. Employes Have Duties, Too Through all the welter of facts and half-facts surrounding application of the national recovery law there runs the dominant note of concern for the employe. It is only natural and just that this should be so for it is vital to the nation that men capable of support- ing themselves and their families be taken from the poor rolls and given jobs. Emphasis has been placed on the duties and obligations of employers. ‘This, too, is justified by the theory that men in positions of leadership should exercise that leadership for the common good. It seems only fair, however, to call attention to the duties which also are imposed upon employes by new conditions. Men receiving jobs under the “new deal” must strive valiantly to hold them and make their serv- ices worth while. There is nothing in the new law which insures the Job of any man, If employers are to pay higher wages for shorter hours their em- ployes must make it possible for them to do 80. No one is going to bankrupt himself to keep drones on the pay- roll, Under the new order men are re- ceiving a chance which long has been denied to them. It is up to each of them to make the most of it. The industrial recovery codes are not— and are not intended to be—havens of refuge for the lazy or inefficient worker or the one who persistently overvalues his services, School Children and War It is not surprising that the school children who were examined in a survey by two professors of Columbia university, should have revealed a tendency to glorify everything con- nected with war. Martial things— roll of drums, blare of trumpets, men in uniform, and all the fanfare and trumpery of war—have a well nigh irresistible appeal to young minds, and to many old ones. School children in the very nature of things can have little appreciation of the horrors and cruelty of war; they see only its glories. Their text book heroes are great soldiers, and they learn that the destinies of their country have revolved about war. ‘Was not America born in blood? Was not Lincoln a hero to be emu- lated, even though he led a nation in war? Nor is there any wonder that chil- @ren have little grasp of the machin- $87 Of peace. Bven adults might be found woefully lacking in knowledge of the Kellogg pact, the World Court, the League of Nations, and the in- tricacies surrounding these agencies. But while the professors’ survey reveals little that is surprising, it does call attention to the need for bring- ing forcibly home to future citizens the fact that war is a national catas- trophe and that as such it is to be avoided if that is possible; and that good has seldom come from any war. Probably the greatest need is to de- stroy the belief that war is inevitable, unquestioning acceptance of which is Perhaps the chief reason that peace measures have been so ineffectual. World armaments are far larger now than they were in 1914, and the world now as then is filled with in- ternational jealousies and suspicions, and rumors of war. Progress toward universal peace has been disappoint- ingly slow and has had many set- backs, Peace machinery is imperfect. and not very effective. These facts, however, only make it more desirable to put forth every ef- 2.50 / fort to avoid a new war, which would §0|be infinitely more terrible than the last, and which many world leaders believe would bring the destruction of civilization, It is not necessary to breed a na- tion of milksop pacifists. An under- standing of what war really is, how wars are made, and what is being done to minimize the chances for war, can be combined with a healthy patriotism. And the Worthless Live Bismarck notes with some pride that a young man with local connec- tions performed an almost miraculous operation on a boy's heart in Chi- cago recently and that the patient lived. Many Capital citizens may feel a little proud of the fact that they know the man who performed this feat. And well they may, for it clearly is an achievement of con- siderable merit. There is a certain grim humor, however, in the fact that the lad who received this service apparently is not of the highest caliber. The fact that he is suspected of being a boy gangster is hardly a recommenda- tion for him. Had a more valuable citizen been the victim of this stab in the heart the probability is that he would have died. Perhaps even the same expert care would not have saved him. There is considerable food for thought on that possible comparison, opportunity for speculation on the Teasons why those of great value fre- quently die while those of little value are permitted to live.

Railroad Cooperation Washington Star Joseph B. Eastman, Federal co- ordinator of transportation, has ap- Pealed to the railroads to do their share in the administration's recovery drive. In his message to the railroad exécutives Mr. Eastman reveals the fact that already the railways of the country have since June 1 put 40,000 back to work. This in itself, as he Says, is a great accomplishment. It has been made possible by the recov- ery business that already has come, with increased car loadings, increased, travel and the necessity for increased maintenance work. No industry in the country will benefit more by the success of the re- covery program than the transporta- tion systems. Business and more business is the very breath of life to the railroads. It was the terrible slump in production and consump- tion of all kinds of commodities that brought the railroads to the very verge of destruction during the hard years of the depression, and which Placed many of them in the hands of. receivers. The railroad co-ordinator, set up by act of Congress*to aid the railroads, has taken this occasion to urge them to help themselves through ® common sense program. He has called upon them to expend every available ee in putting men back to work. Eastman has by no means fae overboard the need for economy in operation of the railroads. That is something fundamental. But here is the opportunity for the rail- roads to spend freely and wisely for Tepairs, maintenance and improve- ments. The American people have come to @ realization that they are pretty much all in the same boat. They must pull together if they are to make headway. The employer who hangs back at this crucial stage of the recovery program is as much an ene- my of himself as he is of the rest of the people. There is going to be no Preferred class, no class of Americans who can swim along on top of the stream while others are whirled away by rapid undercurrents. To use the vernacular, there must be a greater distribution of the gravy or else there will be no gravy. The railroads can do their part. It is- true that they have been under strict Government regulation, with their rates fixed for them by governmental agencies, hours of labor and the like. For that rea- son it is not now demanded that a code for the railroads be set up. All the laws, so far as the roads are con- cerned, have been in the interest of fair competition. The law providing for a Federal rail co-ordinator tends also to obviate the necessity of a spe- clal code for the roads. However, if to keep step with the rest of the Na- tion the railroads are urged to adopt @ code of fair competition, they may do so without violation of the present agreements, and, indeed, without great to themselves, The railroad systems of the country are the backbone of the transporta- tion system. They have faced great inroads upon their business from other carriers, particularly the motor. trucks, busses and privately owned automobiles, There has been no Fed- eral regulation of these interstate car- riers which compete with the rail- roads. It is high time there was such regulation. And certainly codes of fair competition should be insisted upon in connection with those car- riers. The first reformatory managed un- der legislative control in this country was established in New York in 1824; it was ksowWn as the New York House of Refuge.

HERE IS A DEPLORABLE SITUATION A young woman writes from an eastern college town: Please settle an argument among some of the “girls.” Does exercise in home or out of doors depend upon a woman's age? Is there danger to the heart in walking a lot, riding bicycle, doing the LasteBrady Symphony, climbing hills, climbing stairs, swimming, bowling, tennis? One of our group says that after a certain age a woman should not exert herself phy- sically. Another says her heart pounds terribly if she does the setting up exercises. Another cannot swim more than a few strokes before she is exhausted. But one of the oldest in the group declares she intends to keep on doing all these things till old age comes. ‘Those in the group are from 25 to 35 years of age. Normally a woman reaches her Perfection, physically and in every other respect, at the age of 35 to 38 ears, If a child could choose his mother ‘this is the age when a normal wom- an is most capable to be a mother. ‘We are speaking of normal wom- en. That is, healthy individuals, It may be that the girl in this group who says her heart pumps terribly if she does some simple exercises, such as those in the Last Brady Sym- phony, has something wrong with her, Being a college woman she is probably pretty dumb about herself. Like most college graduates she doesn’t know erfough to have a health examination by her own choice of physicians for her own as- surance. She gets such expert opin- jon or advice only when some insur- ance company or some prospective employer desires to know what her physical status is. And then she gets it only if the examiner pleases to give it to her. The girl who cannot swim more than a few strokes before she be- comes exhausted may be a novice not yet sufficiently skilled in the art of swimming to know how to conserve her energy and take it easy, or again she, too, may have some insidious de- fect which diminishes her capacity for effort or even makes effort dan- gerous. Who can tell but the phy- sician who examines the girl? The very fact that these two girls, at the time in life when they should be at their acme, suffer palpitation or exhaustion on moderate exertion Suggests that there is something the matter with them. If two out of such & small group are physically de- fective, abnormal, ailing with some insidious trouble, isn’t that a good Teason why all of the group should have a health examination first and then arrange their plan of living with due regard for their individual cap- acity or fitness to live? “The Last Brady Symphony,” men- tioned by the correspondent, a booklet giving a set of exercises adapted to keep sedentary persons physically fit or A least to keep ‘em CAN YOU NAME THIS.

IN | NEW | YORK BY PAUL HARRISON New York, Aug. 9.—Racing at Saratoga Springs is 64 years old now, with the recent opening of the 27- day season at the famous resort. But this month also marks another an- niversary there, and of an institu- tion even more widely known and more truly American than racing. 'This is the eightieth birthday of the crisp, crunchy and thirst-provoking potato chip. Now that the gay days of pre-pro- hibition are back in Saratoga with a bang, or at least with a popping of the corks, and the night clubs and roadhouses have sprung into new life, and the long, shiny bars have been restored to the United States and the Grand Union hotels, it’s likely that there'll be a great revival of potato-chip eating. But so far nobody seems to have planned any tribute to the chips themselves. You remember, perhaps, that they used to call them Saratoga chips. It was there that they were invented, or perhaps just discovered, in 1853. Saratoga was just a quiet town then, and not a society racing center full ( Moon’s Lake House, which was & fashionable place to have dinner.

The chef yanked them out in a minute, and soon found himself eat- ing one and liking it. Mrs. Cary Moon, who ran the place, liked them too and called them Saratoga chips. She ordered a lot more made, put them up in white paper cornucopias, and they became popular at~ once. Gentlemen munched them at the bar, and ladies bought them to nibble— |while riding in their victorias. * 8 *% SKYWRITING’S LOOKING UP Things are looking up these days in an unusual branch of the adver- tising business. This is skywriting, which had become almost a lost art since the boom days, when manufac- turers didn’t seem to care how much of their money went up in smoke. The Skywriting Company of Amer- ica has managed somehow to keep alive, however, and now it is beginning to get orders again from all over the United States. Planes are being fit- ted out with smoke apparatus, and skyyriting pilots are being rounded up to take over the high responsibil- ity of educating the public in its buy- ing habits. The company admits that good skywriters are hard to find, because they need a lot more than mere fly+ ing ability. Novices usually get me letters strewn all over the sky, like scrambled anagram blocks. And ‘more than one beginner has dashed off a sign that would look all right from Mars, but would be written back- wards for people gawking at it from below. Sometimes, too, a word is misspelled in letters a mile long, and that always makes the advertising of mansions and casinos. There was, client pretty angry.

George Lingham, back in 1922, He was a British war flyer who perfected the apparatus holding the burning chemicals, and now is running the English branch of the company and trying to pro- duce smokes of different colors. Most of the pilots prefer to do their work in script, though a few of the print the letters in capitals. The letter W is the most difficult, and next hardest is crossing T.

OFF. “Showers” usually come to the dashing type. SYNOPSIS Life to lovely Patricia Braithwait was a series of parties, trips abroad and forms her that Mr. Braithwait’s fort is depleted and suggests that Pat marry the wealthy, middle- aged Harvey Blaine to insure her own and her father’s future, warn- ing her that love fades. Aunt Pam’s marriage with Jimmie Warren— handsome, young lawyer—was be- ginning to pall in spite of the ar- dent love they had had for each other. They s' Payped pst gerems tine of married life had . “less lovers’ and more fends”. Stunned by her aunt’s revelations, Pat is seriously considering Blaine to save the father she adores, when she meets a fascimting young camper, who only reveals his first name, Jack. Despite their instant attraction for one another, Pat dis- courages future meetings. That night, Pam cautions Blaine te be matter-of-fact and not sentimental in trying to win Pat, stressing the point that his one advantage is the fact that Pat is desperately hard up and worships her father, who lives for Pat alone. Pat decides to have a heart-to-heart talk with her father. CHAPTER EIGHT “Here's a nice place to sit.” Heart pounding in hammer blows, Patri- cia made room for her father on a log washed up by the tide. “I want to have a serious confab with you about going home,” she said gaily. “I’m fed up with Palm Beach.” Her face b time in her li ing openly with him. “Oh, God of all loveliness, don’t let it be true!” she prayed. The old man considered. Natur- ally he had no intenfion of taking her to her devastated home. It might be said he had no intention in any direction other than to keep heartbreak and ug'iness from his child, waiting upon a more mature understanding to help her when the time came that she must know. Money, as money, had never fig- ured largely in his consciousness. He had had very little in years— the largest sum at any one time being that received for the furni- ture. Substance had a larger impor- tance in his mind than exchange. And substance had been his, al- ran in so far oe had need, owever small the exchange hand. And there had been enough | ai¥,7r9 must have space for house of that when urgently needed. Even now, there were ways—his |p, life insurance, paid up and never touched. This, however, was to be thought of only as a final and des- Perate resort, since it was Patri- cia’s, But at least it could be thought of. For himself sere would be enough of the land as long as he lived. Pamela’s conclusion that he had brought Patricia here with an idea of displaying her in a fashionable marriage market had never enter- ed his head. He was merely giving her what he had always given her —the advantages of beauty. Without thinking of it, he had known she would marry a man of wealth. Not for his wealth; but be- cause she had had contacts with no others. When, he did not question. in In God’s good time. Not sooner,| Not later. Seeing her father’s evident per- turbation, Patricia’s heart strained - in her bosom, A terrible sickness swept her. “I’ve been thinking for some time of talking to you about home,” he said meditatively. “Things ‘have arisen while you’ve been away that I didn’t want to trouble you with.” “Have you been keeping secret from me, Dadums?” she demand- ed with a brilliant smile. Inwardly she prayed: “Dear God, don’t let it be true.” “No. Merely delaying confi- “I want te have ences.” “Well, that’s a good alibi. Maybe I'll use it if ever one of my secrets should find me out.” “The fact is,” he went on, “the thouse became unsafe, due to the caving, and I had to have it taken down.” Patricia busied herself o a sandspur caught on her skirt. “Oh, God, stand by.” Aloud: “When did this happen?” “About two years ago.’ “But where did you ove while I was in school?” “I built a house farther back.” Her heart sang. Then it was not so bad as Aunt Pam thought. “I mirbé- bere known God couldn't be “The house, however, is rather small,” Mr. Braithwait continued. “Hardly the place to take a young It was as if she had been littea | high in an elevator on rotten cables in the vicinity of New York for the|to__ coming summer, Next winter deans thought Patricia, miserably. “Or more likely a stall. | Father, He hasn’t been square with me.
