The ave man can make an adequate living for him- self, at wages, by working three days a month; he works 80 because he is a sociable animal. The average man is happiest when camped by a mountain stream, with a blanket and a cot and a log fire smouldering, and a cold stream babbling a bit beyond; he likes this because this was his environment for sev- eral hundred thousand years. ‘A man can live in that environment at a cost of about $10 a month, or three days’ work in four weeks and more. But you don’t see the woods thron with happy bachelors, gleesome hermits, toting a double-bitted ax and a slab of side meat. : What you do see is tens of thousands of single men working their heads off to pay board bills, room rent, laundry, barber, tailor bills, carfare, amusement tolls, tax fees and cabaret tips. They like the town stuff. They must have it even tho they are not intimately acquainted with a soul in half a million, and but on speaking terms with their boss, their landlady and their waitress. Old men sometimes get independent and go hermiting; or ig women at 40 sometimes yearn for a country nest, with a bulldog, a parrot, and a hundred White Leghorns, but the young folks of both sexes cannot abide solitude, they prefer all the rigors of a tough city job to the lazy comforts of a rural existence.

We Have Been Traveling Fast -five years ago the Salvation Army corps in of the chief cities of the Pacific Coast was arrested toto, en masse and altogether for disturbing the peace.

APetter from ATVRIDGE MANN. Dear Folks: T see Seattle's strong police forsook the job of keeping peace. and went to war to put to rout police from cities ‘round about, who yearly try their skit! and knack at doing stunts on field and track. I like to see policemen @0 for races, jumps and hammerthrow; it keeps them all in splendid trim for work that needs @ lot of vim, and helps to give us ail the hunch that cops are quite a husky bunch. And when they drop the club and star, we understand them better, far; they aren't superhuman then, but just « lot of normal men, who merely try to do thelr beat, In meeting any kind of test It’s all the same, it seems to me, no matter what the test may be; « track event, dispersing mobs, or even gunandthunder jobs; im all the big and warted crop, it's hard to find a sacker cop. And so tt is, © few days back, they tried their beet on field and track; Ross Watson jumped his way to fame, Walsh beat the hammérthrowing game; in every kind of running face, Seattle copped a leading place. And #0, in any Kind of fest, you'll find our force ta hard to beat; they form a fine and manly crowd that ought to make the city proud; and the we pan them they're dandy men. now and then, we always know LETTERS 2 EDITOR The Nickel Package of Raisins Editor The Star “Daddy, givme a nickel to get a box of raisins.” Every time 1 chap-/| eron the youngest downtown, I hear | this command, and I bet that kid to- day gets away with more fralsine than the entire family did a tew years back.
