Want Another Job LOT of small-time actors, not making as much money as they need, are selling goods as a sideline—cloth- ‘ing, groceries, etc. | In Argentina, teachers have classes only half the day, ‘and hold outside jobs the rest of the time. Possibly we are approaching such a high standard of “efficiency” that most of us will have to hold down two jobs to get enough to eat. “White Line” ghee had been drinking synthetic gin,” is getting to : be a familiar expression in connection with most +crimes that get the limelight. Synthetic gin—flavored alcohol, known to the under- world as “white line’—is not a creation of prohibition. + For several years before America went dry, the bulk of its gin was faked and labeled in the East. Rotten liquor—greed of many engaged in liquor traffic |—helped make the country dry. The liquor industry committed suicide. * The Cost RAFFIC congestion costs Manhattan Island, N. Y., over 182 million dollars a year, it’s estimated. Chi- _ cago’s toll is a third as much. Seattle's toll is high. Other _ big cities also pay. ,_ The “loss” is mainly loss of personal time and delay of truck and wagon deliveries. To call it a loss is " bit | foolish. For every $1 lost by multiplicity of autos, at i least $10 is saved by the auto's time and labor-saving services. Looking Ahead ANY now living can recall when railroad building was in its infancy. People hitched up Dobbin and drove 20 miles or more to see their first train. Today our country has two and a half miles of railroad for every 1,000 Americans. Total trackage is more than 264,000 miles. Practically all of this has come in 75 years. With this precedent, it’s a bit dangerous to predict that the airplane will never come into common use by the people. Airplane is no more remarkable to us than steam trains were to grandpa.

The government of New South Wales forthwith gave them 24 hours and to this day they have kept away. Did the Japanese deem that an in sult? No, indeed, they realized that the whole Autsralian people with their government had their foot of determination down, with that order; and they respected it, And that solid foundation for exclusion still pre: vails in the “Land of the Southern Cross."" That protests are emanating now from these allens was to be expected, as they knew we were ¢ American people at variance on the subject of exclusion, and by their persistency they realized there was |a chance to find some loop-hole or technicality to defeat the measure; furthermore they were cognizant of the fact that many people in this country are not in favor of disbar- ment. It is a shame we are not of one accord in upholding the tradi- tions and doctrine of the constitution of the United States, In regard to the “Australian Ix. clusion” of these Orientals, it was impressed upon them from the start that a firmness and determination was against them; so they ablded by jit philosophically. , faith | is in of- |x all this tumult could have been | to water, coal and provision their | ships and clear out, never to return; | Ni sy and the | green |9 N space, | an ARTHUR B Traffic ireo are enumerated against a he is to be tried upon the charge and a policeman ts to call upon him therewith We are being asked for m more police; yet there is an effort to create more work for policemen who should be out on duty banditry and robbery we have on our streets, the more effort there seems to be to divert these men to jworkr where will have an ex cuse for not b ich a police ¢ is stated th nes from sides one favored ones not tagged at all.
