Running Your Own Business EING in business for yourself is not always as smooth saili as most of us imagine. In the last three months over 5,600 American business concerns failed. This doesp't include many thousands who quit, Without formally failing, because they could not make a i go of it. But when you compare commercial mortality with the percentage of men who approach old e without having gotten much of anywhere, you readily see that there's nothing like being in business for yourself, even if it’s only running a peanut stand. A man who can make money for others can make it for himself—if he has the courage.

Persons whose idea bout conditions in Europe are invited Spend It Before You Go HE STAR tells the story of old Tonjes Havekost, who lived up near Anacortes on a farm and spent $10,000 on a magnificent monument overlooking the San Juan islands. A beautiful conceit, surely. But old Tonjes, we think, would have been wiser had he, while he lived, built a $10,000 home on the same spot and spent the last years of his life living simply and happily up there with the view. ' The trouble with most of us is that we don’t know when to stop working and live on the fruits of our labor. Advertising by Radio OUD kicks by the thousand are coming from the pub- lic, about the invasion of radio concerts by adver- tising. One form is the lecture on Eat-More-Pretzels- Week. And repeated references to Peerless Isinglass Ship- ping Department's Trio get rather monotonous. However, the real problem Who is going to pay the cost of broadcasting? Philanthropists, particularly music Tovers, are overlooking a golden opportunity. Stopping Child Labor HEAD goes the movement for a constitutional amend- ment that would permit Uncle Sam to abolish child labor all over the country. * ‘Its opponents are harping away as hard as ‘ever, and haven't changed their arguments—chief of which is that ’ the regulation of child labor is a right of thé individual _ States. i States, however, also have DUTIES as well as RIGHTS. And when they fail to meet their duties, the national gov- ernment should be able to step in and compel them. Speed in the Air RENCH government offers a prize of 200,000 francs for an airplane that will capture the speed record now held by Americans. The offering of this prize shows that the airplane still is primarily a military device. If it were otherwise, the goal of the flying game would be a safe, economical, fool-proof plane that could be used as generally as the auto. But war requires speed. So speed is the goal. Bright and Dull THIS year 5,000,000 autos will be manufactured, it's being predicted by men at the head of the industry. In 1900 the output was only 4,000 cars. Quite a jump. Our generation, properly disrespectiul of the old, is quick to adopt the new. Except politically. What a shame, we Americans are so bright at business, so dull in selecting rulers and remodeling our government basically to meet changed conditions. Saving the Trees C. Luther is planting 550,000 trees this year—white « and red pine. Forestry experts call him the cham- pion tree planter. He certainly is far and away ahead of old Appleseed Johnny, who years ago wandered around the country planting apple seeds from which sprouted many of America’s finest orchards. Luther lives in Mechanicsburg, N. Y. He plants for profit—grows crops of timber on idle lands. - Forest Protection week is coming, April 21-27. Don’t forget to plant at least one tree and to take care of those _ already planted. Great sport, watching it grow. Also, it’s a duty we owe the future. Former generations planted for us. The Curfew BY DEANE FISHER _ ’Tis night; the molten sun’s last rays expire On saffron clouds, on clouds too frail to dim The sinking sun; the sun, whose merest rim Burns the dun wave with drops of liquid fire, Beyond the city’s dusk—a single spire, The castle’s panes are bathed in rose; the dome Of bronze in gold. The west, a mass of foam Floats o’er the wave, the sun’s extinguished pyre. The laboring ox-cart gains the distant mound, The milk-maid’s song, and thru the vales around The curfew’s nocturne fails and fades; and where Thru azure paths his burning course is run, The moon replaces, with its light, the sun And cools the breath of day’s too passionate air, SURRECTIC Per har Q Has woman one more rit have £4 ribs; 12 on each side Q Why does Memorial day come femorial day was first ap pointed in May because th ‘ tant general of the G.

Bailey, dean of the Cleveland {School of Art. He gives several reasons, strongest of which is that the apartment does not furnish enough room for |the individual child, let alone the raising of large families. Living in apartments, children lose the education gained jthru co-operation in home chores and of nature study out where there are grass and trees and sunshine. Thirty years ago, people were horrified at the mention lof tenements. And yet cities are steadily ‘congested to the point of where all will live in high-grade tenements—apart- {ment houses. |7T’HE goal of cities, as now planned, seems to be streets lined with unbroken stretches of high brick apartments |crowded as close to each other as the law permits. It used to be the custom to keep a strip of grass, the size of a |living-room rug, out front. This is being done away with, japartments crowding the sidewalk. | Death lurks in the streets where auto-maniacs whiz by. |No place for the kiddies to play except dangerous streets, sidewalks, back porches and parks that are miles away for most of them. The alley, natural heritage and right of every red-blooded boy, is being eliminated by soaring land values. The city is becoming a jail for the child even more than the grown-up. VERY problem, however, breeds its own solution, in time. People usually prefer to make their homes in the suburbs. The handicap is transportation. Autos, especially cheaper makes, are helping a lot along this line. Rapid transit is in sight for the more progressive communities. It's badly needed, for there isn’t a city in America that isn’t at least five years behind its transportation needs. A childhood spent in the suburbs or, better still, out in the country, is worth more to boy or girl than a large cash legacy later. Get out near the fresh air and larger play- grounds if you possibly can. It may take an extra hour of your time, getting back and forth from work each day, but it’s worth it times over, Help get the children out of their jail—the congested part of the city.
