In New York the grocers have issued
an appeal to their patrons asking them
to shop before 7 p. m. so that the stores
may be closed at that time, thereby
giving the clerks the evening to them
selves. In Newark the Springfield
Avenue Business Mems Association Is
engaged in an undertaking of a similar
nature. Everywhere the early closing
question Is being talked about and
acted upon, and yet how slowly a re-
form SO slight is progressing.
It seems to be characteristic OF the
human being to tackle big subjects
and leave the little-easily-settl affairs
to work out their own salvation. Com
munity interest has not reached the
highest development as far as the
housewife is concerned. Newspapers.
too, are not as loud Of voice in the
small. everyday matters as they ought
to be. OF course, 1t is understood that
the press is a reflection of public opin-
ion, but is it not also a molder q
public opinion? Having watched ARE.

"Try a Commission FOR ovcrbroolk.'
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
When will the happy day arrive
which will fail to record a scandal in
connection with the Hospital for the
Insane at Overlook? 1t is disgusting
to every decent citizen and taxpayer
to pick VI his newspaper and find al
most daily big, staring headlines which
tell that more scandal has been un-
earthed. Probe after probe by grand
jury after grand jury has failed to do
any good. Dual management was sug-
gested and adopted. Lo and behold!
Dual management has only served to
add to the mess.
Some time ago one on the inside
suggested to me that a commission OF
three reputable and responsible citi-
zens, like those now investigating the
building scandal, would be the remedy,
1t may be worth trying.
