COSTLY TlNITY.

The story of Amelia Sheehan. the handsome young
hospital nurse who became insane through tue use
of hair bleaching liquid. IS typical though IL mas
long been notorious that there is scarcely any hair
dye or bleaching preparation that can be used with
out danger change of fashion Is always sufficient
TO induce thousands of young women to employ
such pcrilous cosmetics. And though most people
have personal knowledge in their own circle oil
some disaster analogous to this, the cases when emu
fatally appear to carry no lesson Whatever lot inc
snryiyors In this instance the unfortunate girl is
.ad TO have had beautiful and abundant hair. The
statement that her appearance was improved by
bleaching her hair is not at all probable. Nature
knows far better how TO adjust the tones of hair
and skin than young women do though the asscr-
tion may seeil hard to them 1t indeed true that
men are not less vain than women. Only a lew
DAVIS ago the death of an elderly man was recorded
whose friends surprised to find that during MS
last illness hls hair .aud beard had become white
II wa, further discovered that they had been 50
naturally for years, but that the man, unwilling To
surrender the appearance OF youth, had employed
hardy which finally poisoned him.
This was clearly more aggravated case than
that OF poor Miss Shcchan, and while the tragic
termination Of her experiments gives conspicuous

that there /, ANYTHING unusual in such reckless

besore him. appears to think that the ltalan
nroblem offers no such prospect OF grauuai
snlut,on. But surely there is room Tor mlcn
boneful authorization in the history Oh the
orowtb of this Nation. During century per-
hans there has nsver been time wnen
some kind of cheap labor was not complained
of. But what has been the outcome "
welcoming all peoples to the United states We
have seen class after class, beginning at 'io
bottom, work its way upward to hi2her planes
of living; and repeatedly the cheap labor Oh
one generation has been the complaining
element of the next.
Fxpcriepce proves conclusively that there IS
really no danger that any foreign class VIII long
maintain q low standard of living here. AT first
some may do as the Italians are now holhg'
save a little and return home DuC INC
advantages of life here are so manltolu Chat
eventually they are sure to overcome the con-
scrvatism of the newcomers, anu then lhey
will follow the example Of the french
Canadians in New Hampshire and Massa-
chusetts: abandon their original purpose, settle
down on American soil, and become American
citizens. adopting at the same time the prevail
ing standard of living. Of course such changes
must be gradual. and while they are taxing
place there will be some friction. Foreign
cbeap labor, while it remains foreign and cheap,
will disturb the weaker elements of American
labor, but can only seriously lnJure the least
capable units in that class. The stronger VIII
abandon unsltilled labor and 90 up higher.
This is happening all the time. Promoted LABOR
constitutes the bulk of the American Nation,
and always must do so. Commissioner Hadley
sees tho immediate difficulties OF the situation,
but he is too prudent to recommend rash leels-
lative experiments. This is wise, for there Is
every reason to believe that the cheap labor
problem will solve itself in the future, as 1t has
done in the past.

CHEF JUSTICE DAYS RETIREMENT.

CHIEF JUSTICE DAL1 y hEIIHEHENI.
The retirement of Chief Justice Charles p.
DAILY from the place which he has long honored
will cause general regret among the legal pro-
fessiOn To-day they will assemble to show
their esteem and to express their sense of the
loss which the Bench suffers. He will take
with him us a memento the gavel which he has
welded for over for,y years. Such term Of
judicial service has few parallels in this conn-
try. Mr.. DAILY was elected to the Common
Pleas Bench in 1915, only SIX years after being
admitted to the bar, and twelve years later he
was promoted to the Chief Justlceship.
1t can truly be said that he is n seli-made
man. What he has achieved has been the re-
suit of patient, laDorious effort On the Bench
and off of 1t he has been hard working, care
iul, methodcal and conscientious. Not breath
OF suspicion has ever touched him. In the

community in which he was born and where ne
has lived for nearly seventy years no man
stands higher He has been not only goou
Judge but a good citizen. His position as
president of the American Geographical So
ciety has brought to him honor mere anu
abroad, and his work in behalf of geographical
research has not been insignificant. lie carries
with him into retirement the goodwill oil tne
entire legal body of the city and the goOd
wishes of all his fellow citizens. whose conn.,
dence and respect he enjoys in rare degree
He has earned the right to rest and leisure anu
we join in wishing him many long and happy

It's 10 be- hoped that an effort viii be- made dur

with the subject of land transfer form. At pres

To the unit Of registration agalus. which iucum-
brances shall be indcxed. The majority of the COM
mittec have reported in favor of the lot system,

troycr,y Is not so much rs To which the better
system. but as 10 which presents the lens difficult
ties The Legislature viii probably refuse to take
the responsibility of deciding. where such eminent
authorities are ut issue. In that case the matter
will have TO lie over.
Under these circumstances a meeting has been
called ut the Real Estate Exchange to-day to en-
deayor to urge the question u stop furtncr. DIa-
Grams and specimens of both plans have been pre-
pared, and "A report will be- presented showing the

compll~ hmcn of 40 radical a reform must neccssa-
rily present many difficulties, but the decision of
the Exchange in favor of either PLAZA, or possibly of
n modification of both, will command the attention
of the Legislature, while the discussion Will do

and difficult problem.
