The New Puzzle

Ut is now a good fortnight since the beef trust
and others, with a fanfare that was suspicious
in view OF the indictments in Chicago, gave
out that food prices would drop. We have been
listening for the drop but haven't heard it. We
can't find anybody who has heard it. Papers from
Portland, Me. to Portland, Oreg say there has
been a drop, but somewhere else-lhat is, some of
, them; others say there has been none

While England bewails the physical
deterioration of her city-bred millions
as vitally threatening the future OF
the nation, the United States has un-
dertaken to solve this problem by
methods so wise and sane and nope
full as to comprise one of the most I'M
portant social movements of the TWEEN
tieth century. 1t was quite recently
discovered that in the making OF nor
NAL. vigorous, efficient men and wom-
en- the playground is as necessary as
the school room, And because great
multitude of American boys and girls
pent up in crowded cities, had no
chance to play, they were growing up
duh and stunted and vicious. 1t is
true that long ago very wise man
said: The play Of children has the
mightiest influence on the malnte-
nance or non-maintenance or laws
but nobody pays much attention TO
Plato nowadays. The spirit OF thls
modern awakening is more aptly re-
0ected in the words OF one OF it's lead
ers: "The boy without playground
is father to the man without a JOB.
The passing Of the vacant lot has
far graver significance than may ap-
pear. The rapid growth of cities mas
wiped out these open spaces until the
majority of dwelers therein must let
their children play in the streets or
not at all. 1t was not very long ago

Giving City Children Chance
(R. D. Paine in Collier

in CollleTs)
that almost every public park and
breathing place displayed the stupid,
cruel legend, "Keep Off the Grass"
AS for the city public schools, they
tried to make their pupils wise, but
they had no idea of making or keep
ing them healthy. Today in most
American cities of any Importance
the demand for more Fairgrounds is
as insistent as that for better school
houses or more of them.
Behind this propaganda is bracing
doctrine now believed in by the fore
most Investigators. 1t holds that "the
number of children born healthy and
strong is not smaller among the very
poor than among the well-to-do, or
the rich, or, In other words, that Ma
ture starts all her children, rich or
poor, physically equal, and that each
generation gets practically a fresh
start, unhampered by the diseased
and degenerate past" This means
that if the boy and girl OF the huddled
city tenement can be given a fair
chance to grow, the battle is half won.

TROUBLES OF THE COAL MAN

TROUBLES OF THE COAL MAN
Editor Herald: It is my desire to
place before the readers of this paper
the conditions of the man who delivers
coal. He is required to be honests
sober, polite and quick and must know
the city. 1t is easy to see the tragedy
of disappointed hopes and ambitions
in the face of the man who Is COM
PEELED to do the work of a pack ami
NAL, often coming in contact with the
bulldog at the back door. You perhaps
do not know the sorrowing heart and
the silent endurance of physical pain
that lies back of the cold, repressed
manner of the "hero" as he carries the
coal from the street around to the
back door, UP the steps, through the
kitchen and down into a cellar hardly
large enough for a kangaroo to turn
around without breaking its back.
Then Thanksgiving day comes and we
don't work. That means lost day to
be deducted from the pay slip on Sat-
urday night. No turkey dinner and no
thanks from this man. Let the prison.
ers in the county Jail do the thanking;
they got something to be thankful for.
Virtue may have it's rewards, but the
mildest punishment for being honest,
sober and polite is an unthankful
Thanksgiving day. LUTO.

A HEARTY LAUGH
Being the days best joke from the news

The various rulings of the commits
sions and departments at Washing

TARIFF-TAxED CHILDREN


Little Willie and Lucy are having
Saturday holiday today, but next Mon
day morning they will start off to
school, each carrying a little bundle of
books, pencils, pens, and other para
phernalia which assist in shooting ed
ucation into the young mind
But incidentally they had paid on
their blank books a tariff of 25 per cent;
on their pencils they had maid % per
cent tariff tax in addition to 1-3 of
cent each as a special duty. The pride
of little Willie's heart is one of those
combination pencil, eraser, penholder
and stamp arrangements that he had
saved out of his spending money. on
this he paid 40 per cent tariff tax
Lucy's Joy was a little fountain pen for
which she had foregone new dolrs
cape. on this pen she paid 80 per
cent tariff tax. On the penholders
they paid 25 per cent tariff tax. The
chamois skin penwiper was taxed 81
per cent The sponge rubber 40 per
cent. For the penknife each had they
paid 40 Dar cent, and then in addition
10 cents of tariff tax apiece on each
knife. on the little school boxes in
which they kept the above in orderly
arrangement the tariff was So per cent.
Willie had a little school slate-book

Aviation's Natural Home

I OS ANGELES and San Francisco are assured
] of aviation meets of the first magnitude in
IL January. In all probability climatic reasons
will make it easy to equal, if not surpass, any
previous similar events OF the past year. The harsh
ness of eastern winters will make aviation any
where but in the south or southwest quite impos
sible In a country where long stretch of zero
weather may occur at any time it is hardly posi-
bic to arrange great outdoor gatherings with any
prospect of financial success.
There is no place so logical headquarters
for aviation as Southern California. Here its pro-
moters may carry on experiments exhibitions
twelve months in the year, and this condition is
certain not to be overlooked by them Already
the Curtiss team has engaged ground in this vicin
lily for the winter months and it is understood
that the Wright brothers will also avail them
selves Of this climate to carry OH their work.
Los Angeles will be the only American city to
hold two aviation meets within the space of a year
The first produced a world record. If the second
is as successful the world is bound to ask not only
what manner of city this is that is taking the lead
lin the new science but what manner of climate we
have that permits the human eagles to soar in mid
winter while the rest of the country is showed in
or frozen stiff UP to the gunWales. \

BELATED MARRIAGES

Editor Herald: I read with much
approval Floradence's letter of Mo-
vember "a, which favors divorce, and
think it would be opportune to write a
few words on the harm caused by the
postponement of the age of marriage.
Not long ago the bride brought her
full economic value to the husband. She
did all the work that the servant girl
now does, and then some. Nowadays a
young man feels that he must give his
wife a home and hire servant to do
the work.
On account of economic conditions
marriages are impossible at the right
time. Celibacy through the age of
romancel It's emotionally wrong. Sex
less for score of years after sex has
Awakened! 1t is biologically wrong. 1t
is a defiance of nature.
Let two couples each earn salary
and form a partnership, then combine
their earnings for the sustenance of
the family. The wife in case Of neces-
sity to receive pension from the state.
BY marrying young we attain certain
happiness otherwise unattainable. We
come to know each other, and help to
form each others character and to
share each others difficulties in the
years when only there is real joy in
the struggle OF life.
wouldn't it be pleasant to know that
your wife is financially independent
and that it isn't just necessity that
keeps her home woman?
The cage door should always stand
open. There should be no such thing
as compulsory love.

WOMAN DEFENDS MISS LENEvE

Editor Herald: In this mornings
Herald I read statement to the eff
feet that Miss Leneve will probably
not be allowed to land on her arrival
in New York.
Surely this would be unjust. The
English court acquitted her of any
criminal action, and If in the past
there has been other wrongdoing, it
is her affair, not that of officials. And
even were there justice in such pro-
ceeding there certainly would be no
humanity. The poor girl has paid
dearly indeed for her actions and the
public should extend her a helping
hand instead of driving her out and
thus minimize her chances for leading
a new and better life.

LESSONS oE VIDAL CASE

Editor Herald: What a commentary
on the intrinsic dishonesty and oppres-
sion of our legal and fiscal system is
furnished by the Widow Vidal easel
Because this poor woman was UNA
BILE to pay a certain amount, the law
at once begins to pile on penalties and
interest, enormously increasing her in
debtedness. That Mr.. Vandenburgh
generously remitted or contributed
these fees in this one case in no way
changes the fundamental fact, any
more than The Herald's pralseworthy
action touches the root of the poverty
evil. There are hundreds of homes in
this city struggling against just such
conditions as the Vidals were facing,
for whom the shin-plaster Of "individ-
uar' help offers no prospect of relief.
Few people yet realize that Socialism
would abolish automatically all such
troubles, and countless others. w. d.

CLASS DISTINCTIONS IN WORDS

CLASS DISTINCTIONS IN WORDS
Editor Herald: "There are no classes
in this country" says Mr.. Ignoramus,
and then, ostrichwise, he proceeds to
stick his head in the sands of con-
ventional optimism. NO classes!"
There Is even a class distinction in
words which he who sees beneath the
surface of things can easily read, un-
dertand and interpret. Listen:
The man who steals in a small way is
a "thief," but he who steals by means
of corporate profits in a large way is
"shrewd business man." he who steals
a railroad or robs the millions OF
millions of dollars is a high flnancier."
If poor man eats too much he is a
"glutton;" a Millionaire or wealthy cit
izen is "gourmand." A poor man goes
on a Jag" gets drunk" and is a
"drunkards" but a rich man, in his
gaities and frolics, is a 'bon vivant."
These are only a few class distinc-
tions in words which the keen investi-
gator may increase by means of search
ing for same. LITERARY.
