WHAT HAVE you
DONE FOR THEM

Many people ihoOghilessly look up
on tho problem Of the slum children OF
New York city as purely matter of
local interest and responsibiliis--bu,
IL Is not II is matter Of natioral re-
sponsibility As long as the United
States through IFS representative in
Congress allows the port of the eonn-
Try 10 be open 10 the thousands Of emf.
grants from all lands annually, inst
so long will the various states OF the
Union be bound TO help share the bur
den put upon those cities through the
influx Of the people--poor, incompetent
and ignorant. This is particularly true
of New York, where the number Of
this class Of population amounts to
many thousands annually.
New York has over 700,00 children
Of school age. Less than third Of
them are properly taken care of by
parents. That leaves over 100000
children to be looked out for by var
ious charitable and philanthropic So
cieties Of which the New York Tribune
is ono Of the largest.
Over fifty thousand dollars is spent
each year sending children away for
two weeks change. Twelve homes are
provided for which take care Of G,000
children. With all the fresh air work
OF the combined charities, however,
only about 100000 children are sent
each year.
Nothing can be worse thar the con-
ditions under which some OF ibese chill
dren exist. There are 3e000 rooms
without windows in Now York city
made possible by previous building
laws, which allowed the greedy land |
lords to build all ever the lot, thereby |
making many inside rooms without air
or light. The streets where the chill
dren play all day are narrow, crowded |
and filthy. Iaay o. the children OF
different races are forced by their
parents to sit all d.. from the age Of
two years making artificial flowers for
manufacturers At tnree cents eycts.
Still others are forced to sew all day
and far into the night by sweat shop
methods. No one who has not ieen
there to see for themselves can have
the slightest realization of what ii
means. Tcy t. p!ae one of your own
children--loye1, pl':,el, raruI for IN
like plight, and then wonder why sor
should be born to the fate of pour
n.afiy more, absolutely
without their own consent, should be
born TO this other fate. Verify, in
gratitude to God whose wisdom we
dare not question we are bound to do
all that lies within our power to allevi- :
ate their condition. ;
"For as much as ye have done it J
unto one of the least of these, my chill /;
dren, We have done it unto me- {

SPORTSMEN'S AID SOUGHT
AGAINST FOREST FIRES

Because Of the fact that many for
est fires are set through the careless
ness of hunters, campers, and Others
who go into the woods for recreation
the forest service has taken up with
manufacturers Of firearms and am.
munition the question Of cooperative
arrangement through which purchas-
ers and users Of guns and cartridges
shall be reminded of the fire danger.
II has been pointed out that in the
lumber regions Of the northwest, for
example, manufacturers and other
business men have been having print
ed or stamped on their stationary and
pay checks various crisp, catchy state
ments about the loss which the public
suffers through the decreased demand
for labor and decreased money in cir
culation if timber, which is the source
Of many Of the northwest's industries,
is burned up.
1t has also been pointed out that in
the east particularly many forest fires
are started by the carelessness of
hunters, who drop burning matches,
cigar or cigarette stumps, or pipe
Goals in the woods, or perhaps build a
fire which is left burning when the
hunter goes on. Forest fires, of course
greatly 'injure the interests of sports
men by robbing the birds of their
proper cover. They also impair the
food supply of both birds and big
game, through the destruction of the
underground which furnishes browse,
berries, and other food.
The eastern woods are exposed to
the danger from fires principally in
the spring and fall, when most of the
trees are bare and the leaves on the
ground are dry. The spring fires,
many Of which are due to trout fisher |
men, may destroy the eggs of game |
birds and even the young birds them
selves. Since trout fishermen are
likely to hunt in the fall the same in
dividuals, if careless, may be a source
Of danger at both seasons.
1t is suggested that the manufac-
turers of arms and ammunition ought
to be sufficiently interested in the mat
ter of perpetuation of game to be will
ing to help in the campaign against
forest fires. This help may come
through the printing of some brief
ire warning on cartridge boxes or
some slip to go with any hunting or
'amping supplies which are furnish
ID, Several manufacturers have al
'eady expressed their interest in the
natter and their willingness to help.
