CORSETS

A NEW YORK judge says a modern
II corset is an awful looking har-
"A ness. Such an ungallant speech
from the bench may evoke national
protest. Yet there is a good deal of
force in it. Corsets are a modern in
vention No suggestion Of them has
been discovered in the ancient tombs.
Not a corseted mummy has been
found
Undoubtedly corsets were invented by
a man. He was own brother to the
fellow VINO said the gray mare was
the better horse, and his mind was
analogically running on harness when
it evolved the waist grdle with it's
numuous strings, that rumor says,
sometimes are pulled too taut.
Ancient statuary is distinguished for
fullness of the feminine figure. 1t was
not intended that woman should be
Wasp-Waisted. A successful anti-cor-
set crusade would tend to improve the
national health, With the frank New
York judge, it is hoped American
women will assert their world leader
ship by ending the barbarous fashion
of wearing around their Venus de
Milonian forms an awful looking har-
ness.

CONSIDERS CITY ATTORNEYS
STATEMENT AS MASTERLY

LOS ANGELES. March 3O-[Editor
Herald: Having carefully read in to-
days Herald the masterlv statement of
City Attorney Hewitt relative to the
expenditure of the $3,000,000 asked for
in the proposed bond election for har-
Dor improvement, l desire to give pub
lie expression to my appreciation of
the fairness, completeness and logical
conclusiveness of said statement. 1t
seems TO me to have left no point un-
touched nor without a complete and
satisfactory answer; and in view of
the vital nature of the issues involved
Mr. Hewitt is entitled to the graft
tude of the community for so lucid,
painstaking and exhaustive a state
ment.
If the remarkable history made by
this city during the last year means
anything it means that the men who
have been intrusted with the adminis-
tration of the citys affairs are deter
mined to keep faith with the people
and to carry to a successful issue
every enterprise, whether small or
great, that has become or may be-
come a part of the great development
opening up before this community in
its strides toward commercial suprem-
acy and better government. Let us
have the bonds.

SAY WEALTH is PRODUCT OF
LABOR" ONLY HALF TRUTH

LOS ANGELES, March 2S-[Editor
Herald: The oft repeated assertion by
Socialists that wealth is the product
of labor is only half a truth. and is
misleading, because there are other
features besides labor necessary to pro-
duce wealth. Available wealth is the
stored up surplus over consumption,
and nothing else, and labor is the
means used for sustaining, promoting
and improving life; for activity is life.
Some must labor to make a living;
some that have q living must labor to
hold that living; those that are born
with wealth must labor to keep what
they have, and all must labor to obtain
more desirable things than they pos
sess. Thus activities of every kind
conduce to progress in general. But
Socialists have in view wage labor, and
they seem to imply that when labor
has received it's wages it has still a
claim upon that which constitutes
wealth, when labor had no hand di-
rectly in producing that surplus; and
then there is the envious cry among
them that they are defrauded, which is
not knowing the difference between
"mine and not mine" Every one is
entitled to all the wages he can get
according to contract. and he gets
what is his. Would you have wealth
earn more than you spend? For that
is the only way to have wealth.
Those that decry present economic
conditions and advocate communism
forget that these conditions are uni
versal, and this country could not sep
arate itself from the community of ma
tions in its commercial intercourse;
hence communism is impossible. Be
sides that, human nature is such that
no man will work if not directly for
himself. =. h.

PURE MILK

MILK parity is essential to the
N health of the community Ply
4i1 sicians are agreed there has been
too much carelessness in handling milk.
This carelessness is attributable some
times to lack of information. sometimes
to lack of consciousness Of risk, some
times to Indifference.
1t is suggested that hotels and res
taurants, by using hygienie methods Of
handling milk, can do their part to-
ward improving hygienic conditions
and preventing possibilities of disease.
In many Atlantic coast hotels it is
now customary to serve milk on ice
in attractive original containers, the
seal of which the user Of the milk
breaks.
The general insistence Of the public
on pure milk direct from the COW to
the consumer in original sealed pack
ages delivered on ice would greatly in
crease the number of adult milk users
who, under present conditions, deny
themselves this valuable food.
AS public health measure the de-
livery of all milk in original package
form would reduce illness and NOR
tality among children and would en-
able health officers to trace infections
due to milk and warn all users Of a
dangerous supply without causing un-
due alarm or interfering with the gen.
eraI milk business.

PLAN BREECHES BUOY
FOR VICTIMS OF SURF
Engineer Proposes Placing of a
Gable Car Device at
Long Beach

Application was filed yesterday with
Lieut.. Charles 7. Leeds. United States
engineer at Los Angeles, for permis-
sion to construct at Long Beach surf
bathing station and life saving cable
car service which engineers say VIII
be unique in that it is the first of its
kind known in this country.
The diagrams of the proposed bath
ing station indicate that novel
method of life-saving is to he installed,
If the engineers approve the plan.
This life-saving system, which will
be conducted in connection with the
bathing station, will cost i'm the neigh
borhood of 100000 or $4,000, and will
consist of two high towers, one erected
on the shore and the other built on
concrete foundation about 600 feet out
in the ocean, in the top observatory of
which a swimmer will be stained to
keep his eye on the bathers and dive
in at a moments notice to make res
cues.
Between these towers, which will be
directly in front of the proposed bath
house at the foot of Golden avenue,
will be operated basket car, run by
system of cables extending between the
towers. This car will be so constructed
and operated that it can be lowered Ia
rescue any person whom the life-saVers
find drowning.
w. II. Relder and other prominent
Long Beach men are behind the enter
prise, and those who are familiar with
the plans say Long Beach under the
new system will have the best life-sav-
ing equipment on the Pacific coast, if
not in the world.
Engineers have eVinced considerable
interest in the plan, which they say is
entirely feasible, although believed
new, and If the plans for construction
will not interfere with navigation
rights 1t is probable the federal en-
gineers will give it their Endorsement.

PARCELS POST NEEDED

nY the purchase by the Gould in
X terests Of a big block of stock in
~ the Pacific Express company it
Is believed the California coast ex-
press monopoly will be broken. With
express rates, as with general freight
rates. monopolistic charges have a
tendency TO exploit whole district or
an entire oastline-sometimes an en-
tire state or several states-for the
benefit Of a few operators whose re-
lation to the business is that of profit
seekers.
The rates discussion, in every phase,
brings out sharply the difference be-
tween corporations or individuals that
are willing to do business WITH a
community, and to share in the mutual
benefit accruing therefrom, and cor
porations or individuals that are only
willing to do business at the expense
Of a community and find little incentive
to work or TO enterprise or endeavor
unless the lions share of profit and
benefit is guaranteed.
While it is possible to tempOrize and
parley with express companies, and to
seek to bring conditions and adjust
ments that will give the public some
advantage, at least a look in, every
new phase of the express question
brings out more definitely and forcefully.
the fact that sooner or later the Ameri-
can people must protect an important
part of their transportation interests
and help bring about the greatest bust
ness for the greatest number by the
establishment of a parcels post.

II ASEBALL season is here. Hurrahi
X And Los Angeles won the OPEN
- ing game.
Bully!
In spite of all riYalries, baseball is
still THE AMERICAN GAME.
Other nations play football. Scotland
invented golf England dawdles through
interminable cricket matches, played
seriously and serially, on the Install
ment plan. Polo is popular. Tennis is
fascinating-an tame. Croquet is to
other games what afternoon tea is to
other meals.
But baseball is robust, manly ag-
gressive, progressive, free, indepen-
dent, world leading and American.
The multitude of baseball enthusiasts
grows bigger every year, and popular
knowledge of the game is Widespread
practically universal. Tommy talks
baseball to his mamma at the supper
table and mamma understands, and
goes with him to the next big game.
Baseball is the one and only game of
its type. 1t may be FOUNDERS de-
veoped. as some prosy historians pre-
tend. 1t may be prisoners base"
mixed up with FOUNDERS. We don't care
what its evolutionary history may be.
What matters its previous condition
of immature servitude? Now it is
AMERICAN, the only game that
thoroughly represents, reflects, illus
trates and encourages the spirit of the
republic. Great is baseball, the game
of patriots.
