It is both an indoor and out- door sport, and may also be ey fon a as an all- year-around entertainment of which the players do not grow tired. Formerly you never witnessed this form of dis- playing affection, except at rural fairs or on cir- cus Gay when the country swain brought his sweetie to town to see the elephant. The practice may have caused smiles on the part of town-bred folks accustomed to suppress such public de- monstrations of regard, but the country boy went right on being the champion hand-holder, regard- less of who looked on-or who make remarks. He was proud of the girl with the poe calico dress and the green ribbon sash and he was going to protect her from the elephant at the circus and the fakirs at the fair by holding her by the hand, ess of how the public tittered. é. fe don’t know as the country boy of long had anything on the young fellow of this day of extreme civilization. When you look the works over we haven’t progressed a great ways toward abolishing hand holding, provided it was found desirable to abolish it, which will not be agreed to by the great majority. The modern young fel- low goes his ancestor more than one bitter. . He not only holds her hand in public but he wears his arm around her and she does not hesitate to lay her fluffy head on his shoulder. This is the picture you see in every movie theater throughout the seats whatever picture you may see on the screen. The most nwkward job of hand-holding coming to notice recently was a pair of affectionate ones on the pu street, on 2 recent cold d: Both wore heavy gloves, of true cold resisti power. They apparently got a thrill or a kick, or what- ever you get out of hand holding, even with gloves on, for they clung to one another until distance) swallowed them. ‘ Ah, well! it is a harmless sport, a universal one, and one that has stood the test of time and has always had the support and approval of the faculty. pat ES Se, Bill Takes the Count. AYWOOD, the former I. W. W. leader in the United States, is dowa and out in Russia, be- cause he failed in the management of a colony he had organized ‘v work out his Utopian ideas. He thought a colony could be formed and operated in defiance of the principles of what he calls “capi- talism’—the individual right to the enjoyment of the fruits of individual ability. energy and thrift. The colony fuiled and the members are starving. Haywood is despondent because even his frien have turned against him, charging that he has no administrative ability. The outcome is not in any way surprising. I. W. W. leaders, communists of all als of rad- fealism, and agitators in general are excellent pro- agandists, but they are poor administrators. ey have theories because they have not had prac- tice. They have plenty of time to promulgate their theories because they are not engaged in any practical work of a constructive nature. They et away with much of their propaganda because the practical people of the world are too busy earn- ing a living and building up industry to answer their fallacious arguments. But when they are subjected to the test of experience, they invariably fail to make good. Capitalism has its evils, but the remedy will never be found in the destructive policies of com- munism. Communism will sue for a short time—as long as it can feed upon the fruits of eapitalism—but when the savings of the people of thrift have been consumed, communism has no: where to turn for a livelihood. The outcome of Haywood’s adventure ought to be a lesson to the other communists who still re- main in America, but perhaps it is too much to hope that they will learn anything by the expe- rience of others. They must themselves have a demonstration of the utter fallacy of their theor- ies.. They will go on agitating, and may have some few recruits from among thoughtless youth not yet trained in the school of experiences. They will ac- quire few adherents from among those who have Jearned life by honest, diligent, useful, productive effort. The Spoils hei, Gathered.

ES ARTS ETE Japan's Successful Policy. garans tariff policy adopted twenty years ago, after a study of the American policy, is bearing fruit, as evidenced by the growth of the cotton textile industry in that country. Accrding to the commercial attache of the Ja anese ambassador the paid up capital invested fh 88°/ the Japanese cotton industry has increased from $17,000,000 in 1902 to $160,000,000 in 1922, the re serve fund from $2,500,000 to $97,000,000—total $19,500,000 in 1902 and $257,000,000, 1922. The number of mills and factories increased from 199 in 1914 to 278 in 1921; spindles, ring from 1,733,900 in 1908 to 4,338,579 in 1922, mule, from 11,150 in 1908 to 51,790 in 1921. The average dividends paid by the Japanese mills in 1908 were 8 per cent; in 1921, first half, 22.3 per cent. The high year was 1919 with dividends of 50.4 percent; low’ year 1908, with 5.6 per cent; average, 1908-1921 inclu: sive, 2146 per cent. Since last year there has been a material increase in the importation of ma- chinery, with aj corresponding imcrease in pro- duction. Until recently the mills produced yarns for ex- port but the tide seems to have changed. They are now using these yarns for the production of cotton cloths. The average percentage used for home consumption for the five years ended 1908 was 68.8 per cent, and for the two years ended 1920, 84.4 per cent. This suggests how faithfully the Jap- anese adhere to the commercial policy adopted by them in the beginning of the present century, fol- lowing the visit of a Japanese commission to the United States to study the effect of our protective tariff policy. The views of the Japanese govern- ment as far back as 1902 were given in tabloid form in an article a ring in the Japan Weekly » Which Rental the follow- Times of June 28, 19 ing paragraph: “Tt should be the policy of every community and country to finish, ready for use, so far as it can possibly do so, every commodity it exports. By: doing this it secures for the employment of its own people all the work necessary to be done to prepare natural materials for final use. If this work be not done by the people of the country in which a natural material is produced, it must be done by the people to which the material is ex ported. The ability of a people to finish for final use all natural materials determines their abilit; to export finished products upon which the f amount of work required to prepare a natural ma- terial for final use has been done, instead of ma- terial in a natural state, upon which the least amunt of work has been done. This ability fixes the degree of self-employment and determines pro- gress towards commercial stability and independ- ence.” Up to the passage of the new tariff law Japan was making considerable headway in the American market with cotton manufacturers, and whether, the new law will prove effective in preventing an- nual increases in those exports to us remains to be seen. one which commends itself to the great majority in the United States. tt Say Gis LU i Telling Them With Display.

This being the latest addition to advertising methods and involy- ing considerable expense, it has not been adopted by other countries to anywhere near the ‘extent it is used here. Newspaper and magazine advertising, billboards and window displays are other mediums used to attract customers, all of which and many others originated here and have been taken abroad.

Parents for all purposes (of child-study, for’ consideration of child-welfare, child hygiene, recrea- tion and amusements, school curri-- cua, moral, ethical and religiras ‘training, even when meetings are held RE WEARING A Supposed to be most convenient to men, parents still seem to be mothers. Yet Cespite this rather discouraging fact, I insist upon following the deft: nition of, the dictionary and believing that fathers as Well as mothers are narents, sharing equally the responst- bility for the creation and presecva- ton of the sons and daughters of the earth. : I often look at various types of men and their young sons with deep in- terest and with earnest effort to junderstand. The boy, perhaps, has ‘done something that at the moment ispleases his father, and/by angry impatient word and gesture is sunt hurryu.g from presence; or the young fun is asking the man who brought him into the world some questions about this old planet upon |which he finds himself. | I want to call to the young father |shouting at his son, “Now, I won't j@nswer another question tonight; go Jask. your mother. Go to bed. You ought to be in bed now. No, not |another word”—I want to say to him, |"Young man, just a few: years and your son will ask you no more ques- |tions. You will give him a lot of information about life in general, about common sense and behavior, jhis behevior in particular. Informa- |tlon and knowledge will drop gener- jously from your Ips, but your son jwill not pay the slightest attention. Now is your great chance to answer questions.

After having spent three months in the United States to study prohibi- tion, I fully realize that it is impos- sible for a foreigner to master the whole problem in such a short time and in a country of such vast pro- portions. But the European who has traveled all over his continént, study- ing the alcoho! question in each coun- try, can compare the situation in the United States with that of Europe. Is drinking still carried.on to any appreciable extent in the United States? The European press is strangely contradictory upon this subject. On the one hand we are told that since prohibition there is as much, ff not more, drinking in the Un'ted States than before. On the other it 1» affirmed that one of the most pernicious effects of dryness hig been @ recrudescence of the drug mania; cocaine, opium, morphia. As regards. this latter reproach, I sought information wherever I coulc nd always received the same an- lswer, that it was an exaggeration, that since prohibition no perceptible aggravation has been remarked in the United States of cocaine or of morphia mania, The evil flourishes in Europe, too, th spite of the Uberty of the saloon. Moreover, one can judge by the re- sults. Cases of drunkenness, since drunkenness is the most conspicuous outward sign of the’ alcoholization of a country, cases of drunkenness are infinitely less numerous than in Eu- rope. During my long tour, though I was much in the streets, not only during the day but in the evening, I saw only two individuals who were manifestly in a state of drunkenness, one in New York, one at Butte. Compare the seaport towns of the United States with the wharf quar- ters of euch and such a French town, at Marseilles, at the Havre, for instance. The contrast is like that Detween day and night. Take White- chapel, in London, where one-fourth of the people you meet are prob- the stigma of alcohol, compared with the great slum quarter of New York, east of the Bowery, where the poor: est of the. European emigrants are crowded together. You will see the difference. Beyond all doubt the American street is far cleaner, from every point of view, than the Buro- f pean street.
