More than that, he finds that the public ©O-Operates to such an extent that the resultant loss of trade is kept at a minimum. It’s a novel idea that may Spread.

A it check-up by Uncle Sam shows that the unfortunates in almshouses totaled only 78,090 last year. *In 1910 there were 84,198. «Back in 1880, when “Over the Hills to the Poorhouse” ll was a popular sentimental song and also a slogan that képt many a thin-walleted man awake nights, the nation’s Peorhouses had 132 inmates for every 100,000 population. {Today the figure has shrunk to somewhere around 70. IR years there has been much talk about being no business opportunity for an old man—that young men only are wanted. direct challenge to this notion is the decreased number of paupers in almshouses. sAnother possible explanation is that the young people Of our generation are more willing to help penniless par- epts and aged relatives unable to support themsele *A third, and the most plausible of all explanations, is | tat thrift campaigns and common sense and insurance Salesmen have simply decreased the percentage of people Who fail to save a nestegg for the years when earning _ pewer vanishes. . LMOST as many women as men were in poorhouses . in 1880. Now there are more than twice as many Men as women. How do you figure it out? One reason ag that woman, no longer secluded in home life, has hun- dreds of ways to earn money and save for old age—or to support herself in advanced y “ ,Another interesting fact in connection with poorhouses that native-born white inmates number more than twice many as the foreign-born whites. td . * - HE poorhouse is a monument to the monstrosities of | 1 our system of economics. With our enormous natural Po. , our soil fertility and industrial genius and Amer- Ga’s amazing creation of wealth, itis a black eye that any Andividual can reach old age penniless and non-supporting. Or, for that matter, that they are allowed to. ' <As the poorhouse gradually vanishes, old-age pensions ate taking its place—industrially and by public appro- ) priations. We are slowly becoming civilized, and this is one indication. BPerhaps the Texas Judge who decided that “Ma” Ferguson could run Was short on law, but he certainly was long on discretion. a | Why Is This? ‘ IME makes peculiar changes in economics. A faded old newspaper reminds us that Virginia in 1755 fixed the salary of a clergyman at 16,000 pounds of tobacco a year. 4 a rare clergyman who gets the equivalent today. ‘An odd state of affairs, that the most important ‘‘calling” “in life pays the least. ae . : Little Journeys RIDGETTA SNYDER, 23, of Detroit, was in doubt about this bob-hair style. She did and she didn’t. it is, when she saw other women with bobs, she felt le urge to emulate. When she looked in the mirror she “cold feet.” One fell day, and still in doubt, she wan- dered into Lee Conlan’s barber shop and took a seat in a chair. When Lee stepped forward with the shears she Still was in doubt. *But Lee could not dally—there were other necks and ' “hexts” to be considered. So he snipped and clipped, while Pridgetta debated in her mind. In a brief time the girl Stepped from the chair sans hair, but still in doubt. She paid Lee and went home. In her room she approached ie mirror stealthily and, bracing herself, had a look. low! What a fright! Oh-oh-oh! Doubt was dispelled if tears and wrath made her throat glands swell. «Going forth into the street, she gathered a huge dornick int her handkerchief and went down to call on the barber. | Smash, bang, s ! Then she went forth relieved, and & Lee carried his bruised and bleeding face down to the Police court as “exhibit A” to back up his charge of assault against Bridgetta. She paid as cheerfully as pos- sible. Lee learned a lesson relating to women; anyway, he guessed he did. ee he "US BISHOP is 70 and Liberty, Mo., is his habitat. Gus always has lived in the house he was born in. He never has ridden on a railway train, an automobile, bicycle ot kiddie car. He never has talked over a telephone, worn a-collar, eaten ice cream or been to the movies. He has sinoked for years, but never tasted liquor in any form. He has been sick only a few times and only for a few hours at a time. He never had a doctor call on him—he says that is why he has lived so long—and he never took any Medicine other than a dozen glasses of water per day. es, he has whiskers. The Liberty Titfortat Debating club will meet Wednesday evening to argue the question: “Ts Gus Bishop really living or is he merely parked?” All are invited. A Foolish Question HAT are the actual and important issues in the present national campaign which ought to be con- Sidered by the woman voter?” asks “Mrs. A. L.” ina letter to The Star. Jf there are any actual and important issues in this campaign, as it is believed there are, they should be con- sidered by the woman voter just they are being con- sidered by the man voter—no more, no less. There never hgs been a campaign issue within memory that did not concern women, directly or indirectly. Under present con- ditions, there can be no issue that does not affect them directly, if they be equal citizens in spirit as they are in name and law. If they do not consider those now pre- sented, then it follows that they have failed utterly in attaining a true conception of their duty as voting citizens.
