As a matter of fact, something like Second ave. and Pike st. is the center of population. A glimpse at empty street cars as they run from Pike st. to Yesler way will convince the most casual observer that the vast bulk of street car patrons leave the cars at or in the vicinity of Pike st. The same holds true when the cars run from Yesler way to Pike st., except, of course, at the peak hours. The point is that the municipal railway wastes an average of 540 car hours every day running empty cars downtown to Yesler way during the “off hours” of the day. In other words, the street car system is losing an average of $1,200 a day in useless time operating empty cars south of Pike st. during the day. With this money saved, the municipal railway easily could offset the increase of $32,000 a month which the October raise in trainmen’s pay saddled upon the street car system. And there is only one way by which this saving of time and money can be effected—by building a huge terminal at Third ave. and Blanchard st., as proposed by Thomas F, Murphine, superintendent of public utilities. Such a terminal would eliminate useless and costly oper- ation of street cars as they now operate in the downtown districts. By all means let us build the terminal and at once. handcuffed to a bi | Tony Pidzo, ie to Atlantic, jeyele, rede from Pac to win a bet, thereby doing less worth while etuff than if he had handcuffed himself to a hoe, a saw or any other tool of production. | oe A Baltimore, Md, baby was born| with @ full wet of adult teeth, In future years the uptodate baby! may be born with a complete equip ment of knowledge, ready to jump jright into @ man's sized job eee It has been @ long time since we read of a Wild West badman making bis audience dance to the tune of whistling bullets PHILADELPHIA (Which ‘the gentic Wart)—"Can you my?"

FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 19 by Frank Crane) Labor is a commodity, just as capital is a | concerned in doing good work, not in getting commodity, and for sale; but the trouble is, | his price. And all Labor must be lifted ug to the level of Art. That, it s¢ems to me, is what Destiny has in mind. The things that Beautify and ennoble life are not produced by Capital, as the conven. tional mind supposes, for Capital can do but | One good thing, to wit: employ Labor, | Whereas the most essential elements of Life are by-products of Labor; such as Hap piness, Health, Rest, Contentment, Morality and Religion, In these the upper and endowed classes have always been lacking. One rotten idea we must get rid of is that | it is the purpose of Education somehow te enable us to escape Work: and we measure its advantages in terms of idleness; whereas its real use is to equip us to find joy in work, In other words, we go to School not te learn how to get Out of Work, but how ta get Into Work. Don’t be alarmed. Believe in the People, They are not going to tear everything dowm nor blow everything up. Somehow, sot | time, they will find out what is the Right thing to do, and will do it. History is rhythmic. Public Opinion goes in waves. During the War we swung to @ wonderful Unity; it was too perfect; we were not ready for it; so after the War we ~ swung back to extreme Contention. But ~ this, too, shall pass. a [dish of apple sauce or the homely | stewed prune, entirely out of the rum ning. As to going without these things lone can go to a store and buy = 4 ort without Himself. One reason why the Laborer distrusts | Law is that, until very recently in history, | he has never had a hand in making it. It has been made For him, but not By him. You are never going.to settle the Labor | Problem on Business Principles because it is a Human Problem. You might as well talk of marrying a wife on business principles. More people are reading and thinking about Labor today than ever before. Organized Labor is still in the minority; but a minority, plus organization, is always more efficient than a minority unorganized. As there have been selfish, pig-headed, | tyrannical and corrupt kings, generals and | millionaires, it is but to be expected that many labor leaders show the same marks. Power is always subject to the peculiar dis- | eases of egotism. The main trouble 4 is that Labor is re- 3 jail. This is wrong. For it is as much , pleasure to Create as to Consume. More. The fundamental problem is after all a psychological one: it is, How to turn Work into Craftsmanship.

But let us take that allowance for single person. I live alone so can use myself as an example, A pound of sugar contains two ordinary cupfuls. Let s set our three cups of sugar, the allowance per person for the month, on the table In front of us and see where it goes. By actual measure: | ment each cup contains about 23 tea- spoons of sugar, not heaping, but just rounded as very dry sugar, which does not pack and heap itself, naturally Hes on a spoon. Suppose one drinks tea, coffee or cocoa at only one meal a day and allows only one such medium spoonful to a cup, one cupful, or third of the total month's allowance, will last 23 days, while a second cupful disappears in the same manner on breakfast food A good part of the third and last could be used for the two items of food in the remaining seven days. But it could also be easily used in the thousand and one ways in which @ spoonful of sugar is need ed here and there about the kitchen and table in the course of a month, mainly on fruit.
