\ GOOD RECORD,

Eight miles of street grading, curb
ing and sidewalks, four-fifths of a mile
of concrete pavement. one-half mile
Of asphaltic concrete pavement, two
and a half miles of brick pavement,
one-half mile gravel pavement, two
and half miles OF sewer pipe laid,
two miles of concrete sewers, with a
total cost of $316,795. is South Bends
street and improvement record for
1913.
The record is nearly three times as
large as that of 1912 and in addition
there is over 100000 worth of con-
tract work yet to be completed. What
the Improvements mean for the bet
terment of living conditions in South
Bend will be better understood in the
future than at present. South Bend
is maintaining its place among the
leaders Of the progressive cities of the
country.
With the betterments above cited,
the reconstruction of the waterworks
plant and extensions and improvement
of the street car service South Bend
is a better city TO live in than ii was
a year ago. The improvements made
enhance property values, add to the
convenience and comfort of the pOpu-
lation and increase the healthfulnesa
of the city. South Bend could not
have done less and met it's RESPONSE
bilities to the people who live here.
The best use that can be made OF
public funds is the expenditure OF
them in such a manner that the pres
ent and future generations will be
benefited physically and sentimental
~. The city which refrains from
making public Improvements in defer
ence TO the wishes of fogies quickly is
consigned TO the municipal cemetery.
No good citizen wishes South Bend
to become a dead one. AS long as the
money he pays in taxes is spent judi
IciOusly and with economy he will not
attempt to block the wheels of prog
reSs.

WHAT OF 1914?

Pretty nearly every person you meet
nowadays is a reformer Reforming
is the. great American pastime; a sport
with never a closed season. There
has been one big trouble with our re-
forming, though We're so eager to
reform the other fellow that We for
get to give it a try-out ourselves.
New Years used to be a time OF
personal reform. It's pity the Gus
tom hasn't kept up. Even though
good resolutions, made with the sin
cerest intent, soon fall by the wayside,
tits better 10 have tried and failed to
turn over a new leaf than never TO
have tried at all
For the fun of the thing. let's do
little supposing.
Suppose that in 1914 every one Of
us stopped the use OF strong drink,
stopped tobacco. stopped spending a
penny on vice and cut out unimport-
ant, catchpenny amusements. Have
you any idea what II would mean?
Well, here's one thing it would
mean. IT would mean enough saved
10 permit the building Of 1924, 100
homes costing $4,000 apiece.
IT IS fashionable in these times 10
think that what we need 70 make life
easier and better is more legislation
lower tariffs. public control of
credits. trust busting, government
ownership CT many public utilities.
We complain of the high cost of
living. And rightly; for it's absurd
that the distribution Of wealth
wrought by our wonderful inventions
should be so unequal that while a few
have infinitely more than they need,
the, many have hard work to keep
afoat
Yet how many OF us realize how
much Of the high cost of living is
really due TO the cost Of high living;
OF cultivating a taste for things we
don't need?
Take your own case. dear sir or dear
madam Have you ever tried the il
Illuminating experiment of jotting down
for a sample month. list of all the
things you have bought, marking op-
posite what each cost and then, with
blue pencil, crossing out the items
which you could very we'll have done
without?
Not only do we waste money on
trivialities but think also how large
is our waste of time and opportunity.
Never were the facilities Of education
so numerous varied or accessible as
they are today. Nevertheless. mill
lions Of us who might be studying for
greater efficiency, who might be pre-
pairing. as Lincoln prepared. to climb
up from poverty, up from handicaps.
are living on a dead level, content
merely 70 work. play and sleep. our
tomOrrows just like our yesterdays
and todays.
SO we suspect that 1914 is going to
be pretty much the kind of year you
make II.

has the endorsement Of the war de-
partment.
Up 10 the period of the civil war
Americans were a nation Of rifle shots.
They were accustomed TO the use Of
rihed firearms either in the hunting
field or as members of military COM
panies, which were in great vogue both
north and south.
The practical extinction of big game
put a stop to rife shooting as a sport
and the organization Of state guards
discouraged the organization Of pri-
vate military cOmpe 1ies. Besides. the
Americans did so much shooting dur
ing the civil war that many of them
didn't want to see a gun again.
The result is that rifle shooting has
been confined largely to the militia
and the regular troops. The average
American youth knows nothing about
it. His experience is limited to toy
guns and bird shooting. These do not
fit him for military efficiency, nor do
they stimulate the military spirit.
1t may be discouraging TO the pro-
motion of universal peace and regard
ed as a backward step in civilizing in
fiuences TO advocate such a warlike
measure as that proposed, but self
defense is the first law of nature and
in this instance the end justifies the
means. AS long as other nations con-
tinue to prepare for war IL would be
suicidal for the United States to fail
to avail itself of all available means
Of defense.
The American is perhaps the most
natural soldier in the world. His fac
ulty of adaptation is better developed
than that of any other nationality.
but he should not be handicapped by
lack of training which can be given
him at little expense.

HELEN SPENDS A VERY
HAPPY DAY STRA1GHTEN-
ING UP THE APARTMENT.
BY MABEL HERBERT URNER.

and you're working yourself to
death already" she scolded after the
first greeting. "You look clean tuck
cred out Why didn't you let the
things be till L got here?"
ooh, Della there was so much to
do. The whole place was so dirty.
You wouldn't have had time to do it
all and get dinner. too. And We'll
have to order a lot of groceries, there's
hardly a thing here"
"All right, you make out a list of
things, and then you just lie down and
rest"
Helen sat on the flour bin in the
pantry while she made out the list.
She read it out fer Delia's approval.
Now is that all Della? Can you
think of anything We'll need? You
know I want this 10 be a particularly
nice dinner, because it's our first at
home"
eff you want mayonnaise dressing
for that asparagus, We'll have to get
some lemons. You know Mr.. Curtis
doesn't like it with vinegar"
"Oh, that's so; we must have
lemons" and she added a half dozen
to the list. "Now, what else-what
else, Delia?"
uOn llllnh VI nOllllllS just AOhs
well, guess that's all. Now Della,
you'd better take this over to Nc
Carthy's yourself. I want you to Sc
lect the canteloupes. Warren is so
particular about them. If Mccarthy
hasn't any first-clCSs ones go to the
fruit store on the corner. And tell
Mccarthy to send the things right
over"
When, a little later, Della returned.
the grocer's boy, with a large basket
full, came with her.
81 made him send them right up so
we'd have everything here in time.
Here's the cantaloupes ma'am, aren't
"Oh, yes, they are fine!" answered
Helen delighted. Now put them in
the ice box right away And, oh.
that's such nice asparagus! Oh, it's
going TO be a lovely dinner! And
you'll do your very best, won't YOU
Delia?"
and lie down and take a nap and get
good and rested before Mr.. Curtis
comes"
but Della you've got the dining
room and the kitchen TO clean; you
can't do that and get dinner, too"
"Oh, yes, l can. It's only half past
two; I've got plenty OF time. Now If
you'll be sick" Ominously.
Helen finally obeyeC. Leaving
everything to Della, she slipped out OF
her working dress. took & warm bath
and lay down in a cool loose gown 10
rest.
Della had promised to awaken her
at { o'clock which would give her time
to dress herself and Winifred before
Warren came.
And so she fell happily asleep, pic
turing their dinner and their long
happy evening at home together.

SILENCE AND EFFICIENCY.

John Purroy Mitchell, the new mayor
of the city of New York apparently
has a due sense of the responsibilities
that rest upon him and of the diff
culties by which he is confronted. He
is anxious that the public should not
be led 10 expect too much of him, and
TO perform rather than 10 promise.
To this end he has counseled silence
and simplicity Of method on the part
Of the several departments. He ad-
vises his executive heads TO proceed
slowly with the development of the
administration program, TO make sure
of each step as it is taken and to give
publicity to actual progress rather
than TO plans.
With his policy well established and
his purpose 10 improve municipal con-
dttions recognized Mayor Mitchell will
be more free 10 take the public into
his confidence. He appreciates the
value of the support of public senu-
ment. but he also understa pds that
the public will be suspicious Of him
and inclined to misconstrue his mo-
tives until he makes good.
There are many new mayors in the
country who Will not consider II nee
essary TO adopt Mayor MitcheTs policy
or silence, and others who would be
wise to do SO and vet lack the pru-
dence. Others likely will not have the
ability 60 discriminate between "a dis
Greet silence and a prudent publicity.
That Will be the real test for all.
The public has rights I'm the matter
that should not be ignored, but these
rights are subject to or secondary TO
efficiency OF government. The public
should be given all Information which
will not interfere with the proper dis
charge OF the duties OF public officials
II should not be given information
which would in any manner hamper.
delay or defeat the ends of govern
ment.
The mayor OF a city and his official
assistants are responsible for what is
done or not done. and they viii be wise
70 properly protect themselves from
interference.
