If you'll open your eyes on the street today you'll see her low heels, or even heelless shoes. Her waist is larger—but a man’s arm may still reach around it. She used to sway as she walked, as if she might tip over. She walks like an athlete now. She used to try to look like a doll. These days she looks like a champion swim- mer or tennis or golf player. She might even land a stiff uppercut! She was a good housewife, a good mother, a good companion for a man when she was a “clinging vine.” She still holds to the fine quali- ties of the “clinging vine’ days since she has be- come the “sturdy oak.” Milady America is headed in the right direc- tion. The change that has come over her spells better bodies, better minds; better men, better wom- en, better babies. She is HOPE. More power to her! GIVE IT A BAD NAME- AND HANG IT!

We hope the blame will be fixed. Perhaps it will be. But no fixing of blame is going to stop future wholesale killings so long as American greed goes blithely on exploiting human beings—squeezing huge profits out of the population.

The few behind the project must be handed fat roll of money or they denounce the enterprise as a flat failure. THAT IS GREED! That is why safety is forgotten. That is wh “safety first” is crossed off the books. That is the why of the Slocum. That’s why the Iroquois audience was burned up. . That is why the Eastland turned over. NEXT! CIGARS AND BETTER TIMES SAM GOMPERS gives us a pretty good straw on the better times when he says there are no cigarmakers idle in the country. Cigar making is Sam’s trade and he keeps pretty good track of the industry. It is true that cigar smoking is a good deal of 1 luxury, a luxury that poor men enjoy as much is rich men. But when times are hard the poor man cuts it out and reduces himself to the pipe, then to plug chewing and, in severe straits, no tobacco at all. The rich man’s smoke alone does not make for good times in the cigar making trade. So, when the nation’s cigarmakers are all at work we know that the man who works with his hands is smoking cigars—that times have brightened for the poor man.

WAKENED to a sense of duty by the Eastland disaster, the Chicago board of education Fri. day adopted resolutions to teach swimming in all public schools. Let us not wait for any Eastland catastrophe in Seattle. One wonders why swim. ming has not been a part of the school curriculum in Seattle for years past. This is a city largely built on lake and seq. shore. ; For a large part of the year, the waters of lake and bay hold out a standing invitation to the children of the city to come and enjoy themselves Let us make this enjoyment safe. Let us teach every child in the ‘city to swim. It is far more important to teach them useful things—like swimming—than some of the Studies on which they spend a lot of time now. It will cost Chicago about $1,000,000 to institute the course, In Seattle it should cost very much less, But whatever the cost, it is worth it to lessen the anxiety of parents while their children are at play—and to lessen the annual death toll of canoeists and bathers who drowned because they couldn’t swim, IMPROVING HER RECORD THREE MONTHS’ term of criminal court in Houston ended with a record of 87 convic. tions out of 90 trials. Penitentiary sentences im. posed aggregated 392 years, besides two death sentences and one of life imprisonment. Houston’s 26 homicides in 26 weeks has given it an unenviable reputation, byt if this record is maintained it will soon be as peaceful as a ladies’ aid society pink tea.
