UO BRING all departments of the city together in one grand T campaign against unemployment is the plan City Chamberlain Bruere proposes to the Mayor. “Unemployment,” he de- elares “ix a chronic problem in New York City.” It is. And our interest in it and our sympathy with those out of work who really want it are increased daily by our observation of j the thousands who have jobs and who don’t deserve to have them. % We mean so-called workers who approach the day's task either with listless indifference or with sullen determination tq shirk. Nowhere is there more of this at present than in domestic service. The cook who cares whether she is a good cook is extinct. The girl hired for general housework thinks she is abused, overworked, kept to tasks beneath her. Servants despise service. Helpers scorn to help. The domestic servant is only typical. There are plenty of em- ployed men and women behind counters and over desks, in the shop ‘and in the open, for whom work is & perpetual grievance and their - attitude toward it a whine. Why should so many ehirkers misuse jobs for the lack of which _qoetbers starve? The undeserving employed are also a problem. ecient pcpoomemememnstesiee If the present rate of decrease is maintained New York will soon be down to a death rate of 95 per 1,000 among babies un- der one year of age. This rate will be the lowest ever record- ed for any great world city. Department of Health figures for last week show 182 Geaths as against 202 for the preceding week and 209 for the corresponding week of 1913. . “It looks very much,” says Director Taylor of the New - York Milk Committee, “as if it paid New York to hold a Baby Week last spring to stimulate anew public and private agencies in baby saving.” It alao looks as if The Evening World were right when it started ite Better Baby contests in the belief that better babies depend upon better mothers and that every mother is eager to z be the best mother if somebody will show her how. ——— EMPTY HOUSES OF THE RICH. Bi U Fifth Avenue is further embellished by the completion of the $2,000,000 cottage of a Pittsburgh coke burner. ‘To make room for this latest palace, which stands between Sev- éentieth and Seventy-first Streets, the Lenox Library, masterpiece of Richard Morris Hunt, went to the dump, while from its memorial Miche acrons the street the bust of the dead architect looked on. What fs a public library compared with an Italian garden, a sunken pool, S Buimberiess drawing rooms and an art gallery? 4 Wewwonder if Mr. Frick’s mansion will follow the habit of other bouses in the Avenue and stand for ten months each year in sombre, shuttered gloom. Fifth Avenue may be a fine street, but with the ‘exception of a few weeks in winter too many of its doors are boarded | ap, too many of its windows dark. One of the most impressive, su- ) perbly situated buildings in the city is the great Vanderbilt house at a Fifty-eighth Street and Fifth Avenue. Year in and year out it stands = empty, blank, oppressive, It casts a gloom over the Plaza. Peren- _ tially closed houses make, the Avenue lane of mausoleums. “y Of course the finer one’s house the less one lives in it. Nor should anybody be compelled to keep his house open against his will. But when we hear Fifth Avenue called the finest residence street in the city, we incline to think that the most attractive homes are not the biggest and costliest, but the ones that people live in, th ‘The fighting falters, Winter has reached the front. —— FOSTERING UNEASINESS. a N THE face of it, which seemed less credible: that the British 4 O dreadnought Audacious was blown up and went to the bot- tom, or that the hundreds on the Olympic who saw: it kept | @llent for nearly three weeks?
