LAW FOR BOARD 10 FIX PRICE OF MILK Preparing Special Message | Along Lines Advocated by The Evening World. STATE MUST REGULATE. “Concerns Public Health,” De- clares, Executive—Children Should Be Protected. By Sophie Irene Loeb. ALBANY, Jan. 21.—That milk legis- lation ts one of the foremost meas- ures being considered by Governor Smith was strongly evidenced when T discussed with him, to-day, the vari- ous reports now before him on this Mobject. all of which agree funda- mentally on the ultimate remed These reports are the Glynn-Finley, the Governor's Reconstruction Com- mission's, George Gordon Battle's conclusions, and the investigation of the Governor's Fuir Price Milk Com- mittee, which is the most exhaustive work’ on the subject This committee, appointed last fall, {6 astertain milk conditions, recom- mend legislation for reducing the Prive of milk, reported that the milk industry and the price must be regu- * lated by @ State Milk Commission & public necessity by the Legislature, if any relief from extortionate prices Was to be secured. his is the contention made by The Evening World in its campaign for lower price milk, a crusade begun in 1916. The Governor expressed himself as fully in accord in the enactment of a statute that will contain these pro- visions. The Governor stated: “I will use every effort in my power to secure such a law and I am fully convineed that without legislation of this kind the milk question will never be solved “I cannot believe that the Ie tors from up-State will fail to 1 the cry of the people of New York, the most congested city in the world They should answer it with a statu- tory measure that will © sufll- cient teeth to meet the requirements und without any camouflage. “The New York Legislature has opportunity to create pre ent for guarding of childhood, In no other ture citizenship as securing such a vital necessity of life for the children of the State at a price that the poor- set man can pay for a suflicient supply. “Other States have enacted stat- utes for limiting the price of bread and such prime: necessities.

What can she do with the man who never is but always to be married, who keeps her lingering+on and on in the dim purgatory of a | long engagement—neither one thing | nor the other, neither successful wife- hood nor successful spinsterhood? For the sake of all the Rachels of to-day, whose Jacobs serve seven years, or maybe seventeen years, and then—as likely as not—turn around and marry some chit of a debutante, I put these questions to Miss Frances Nordstrom when I talked with her yesterday ternoon at the Hotel Flanders, No. 135 West 47th Street. The reason I consulted Miss Nord- strom was because she actually turns the trick for one victim of a long en- gagement in her pew and clever play, {The Ruined Lady.” The heroine— Miss Grace George, by the way—has been engaged for tw Ive years to one man, and in the words of a woman friend, “It will take dynamite to move him.” The dynamite is provided in the form of a perfectly innocent and deliberate seandal, which opens the eyes of the perpetual flance and in- | duces him to ask his long-suffering lady love to name the day. “But not every girl,” I argued with Miss Nordstrom, “can compromise, all in a perfectly ladylike manner, the cold-molasses male to whom she has the misfortune to be engaged. What CAN she do?" ‘Can’ him or kidnap him playwright retorted, sity positively savage, Those methods,’ the with an inten- she continued more mild moment later, natural- ly are to be applied only to the most | obstinate cases, Mor the others there are various helpful treatmenta—a girl | may make her dilatory lover jealous, jshe may make him ‘uncomfortable, |she may begin to filrt with him, she n| may set father on him, she may com- ‘promise him as my heroine did.
