A REAL NEW YORKER,
His Matriculation begins when He Drops

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Str. The

interest in the newspaper of the home

He may have that paper sent TO him,
and for time he may read II here with
an interest keener than ever. because Il
tells him OF people and things long
familiar to him wherefrom he Is now
away. Upon his arrival here he begins
TO read New York newspapers. Very soon
he chooses the one that he likes best,
reads II regularly thereafter, and II thus
becomes his newspaper
Before long he drops the home news

back In the old home sends him a copy
occasionally with something marked in
It, He reads that and then ne chances
over the whole paper. But II looks very
different. II is much bigger than II used
to be, In the advertising columns he
sees many names that he never heard OF
before, All the old business people that
once he knew so well have disappeared.
In the news columns the changes are as
great. II seems to him now sonnet hing

back TO the old town he finds that TO be

THE PEACE PARADE.
Beiated SHOW; Women should Work
for the Red Cross.

To THE EDITOR or THE SuN--Sir: The
time for protest against the war is past
II is being fought TO a finish" A parade
for peace would seem mockery TO the
women OF Belgium and France. who are
heart and soul with their men in the
righteous fight against ruthless invasion.
Why talk of protests and arbitration
when the aggressor has violated the
treaty OF Berlin. the neutrality OF Lux
emburg and Belgium, and when the Ger
man statesmen frankly say treaties are
paper bulwarks' and theoretical con-
siderations'?
Belgium and France must defend their
soil from invasion and behind their night
ing men stand their loyal women in
splendid solidarity. DO not mock them
by parades for protest and peace.
Only one movement can be fifty made
by American women: work for tho Red
Cross, according to tho Presidents proc
lamatlon and the request Of tho Red
Cross officials In Washington and abroad
That work should be done promptly. for
the Red Cross has not yet received the

Chance for New Home Industries.

While all eyes IN this country have
ties created by the European war we
have been in danger Of undertaking the
remarkable chances for industrial de-
velopment at home which It affords
Fortunately the National Associat ton
Of Manufacturers was wide awake. 1t
has begun a campaign Of educa ton for
the manufacture in this country Of nu-
merous articles which can be made
here Just as well as anywhere else but
which we have been in the habit Of
importing.
According to the theories OF the asso-
citation 1t is hard to overcome the pop
ular prejudice against substitutes for
the imported article at ordinary times.
Habit Is inertia and the public hates TO
change. But now that 1t is matter
OF needs must. enterprising purveyors
have an opening to create new habits
which 1t is fair to assume will in their
turn be lasting.
A dozen lines are pointed out in
which plants may be improvised and an
eager demand met as fast as existing
stocks or supplies disappear. There Is
the matter of toys, a prime necessary
Of life. OF which we have been drawing
our main supply from Germany. France
and Switzerland from time immemo-
rial. Now the supply Of foreign toys
will be scanty and dear. Why can't we
make them ourselves? We imported
them to a total value Of $7.935,555 In
1913. There is a pretty profit here
for some one.
As an example Of opportunity here.
tOfore neglected. Mr.. WILLIAM n. BEN
NEY. manager of the associations for
elgn trade department, cites the case
Of manganese imported from Austria
Hungary and Russia for use in the
manufacture Of steel. He says there
are large deposits Of the mineral In
North Carolina and Tennessee which
are fully available with little devel-
opment.
Numerous lines. great and small,
promise equally well. A study Of the
statistics Of imported goods is being
made with view to picking those most
available for American enterprise, and
$4,000 circulars are being sent ont to
manufacturers with suggestions for
possible American lust as goods" as
the druggists say, 10 meet the emer-
gency. The idea is an excellent one.
1t is one OF the soundest steps yet taken
toward turning conditions which might
have been disastrous to us into an ulti-
mate advantage. The public should
meet the effort half way, and putting
aside the prevailing preference, often
unwarranted, for a foreign label, give
their support to the domestic product,
thus assisting the manufacturers In es-
tablshing and perfecting II.

How High Prices Are Reduced.

How much Of the present recession
Of foodstuff prices is to be credited TO
official Intervention 1t is difficult to say.
The authorities will naturally take 10
themselves as much credit as they can ;
but another cause. more far reaching
in its effects than the activities OF COM
missions, prosecuting officers and the
authors Of resolutions, has been stead
lily at work. 1t Is the force Of per-
sonal opinion finding It's expression in
reduced orders, altered bills of fare and
discriminative selection. or its opera
ton little Is heard, but II produces
a condition to which the salesman Is
quick to respond.
Not few attempts have been made
to organize the consumers in formal
leagues, whose purpose is TO punish
dealers IN this or that commodity for
their sins, committed or suspected. by
concerted withdrawal of patronage,
Some of these movements are reputed
to have achieved degree OF success
satisfactory 10 their promoters, but
their actual efficacy Is open TO doubt.
The really formidable influence for the
dehation of artihcially overblown prices
comes from men and women guiltless
OF conscious cooperation. but impelled
TO curtailment of their orders or trans.
fer OF their patronage by the limita-
tons of their pocketbooks or their re-
fusal to be cheated. These customers
do not air their grievances in public,
and IN many cases perhaps do not
realize the economic pressure they are
exerting; but their protests take prac-
ticable form, and by decreasing demand
and threatening established trades
exert restraint Immediately and of
widespread effect.
To use against conspirators and spec
ulators in foodstuffs we have an album
dance Of law, as our fathers had be-
fore the days Of antitrust legislation,
but like them we shall find in that d.
rect action every householder employs
to govern the stocking and replenish-
ment of his larder the most dreaded and
supremely powerful weapon.

In Santo Domingo. Money greed and

going little too far in the plan said

"VisualiZe Details
To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: Miss
Thomas Is right when she says that
women show a lack of imagination when
they say they would like to see a fight
at sea, but is II not rather a logical re-
suit OF the lives they lead? What woman
ever saw a fight that was really any kind
OF fight. and what average man has not
seen not only one but many?
Men know from actual experience OF
dog fights and prize fights the horror OF
squirting blood and torn flesh, the agonized
look in the eye and the writing OF a
tortured body in agony from injured
nerves and muscles. and having once had
their sensibillties shocked IN that way
they never forget, and war to them means
that agony multiplied thousand fold.

their ina ginations stirred by the game.

10 women. Perhaps after all It Is not a
lack of imagination but a focusing OF the
Imagination on only one side. the only
side they know. the spectacular. For we
have evidence enough that women in
stinctively have a horror of injury. In

II Is women's lack OF power TO visual

absolute lack OF experience that makes a
woman think she would enjoy the sight

proved over again that greater under
standing brings greater compassion? II
is only this lack OF knowledge that falls
to bring home to many women the UNI

KEEP COOL.
How an Tine cited Jerseyman Regards
the Censorship.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: The
new spapers have done well. considering
what they are up against in getting war
news, not counting that paper which runs
off about ten editions every afternoon
with two battles per edition, or twenty
battles a day. That paper should be
prosecuted by the Society for the Protec-
ton of Soldiers; It is not giving the
troopers time for even a quick lunch.
All we need is a little patience soon as
they have real hard battle or two con-
ditions will get as loose as ashes and
then the news will come over from all
directions. There win be points OF COM
munication they will not be able to cover
up any longer and besides that victors
will crow and victims will whine. and
the fellow that wins. be he General or
nation will want the applause and the
spotlight. and lie will loosen up with
news from HIS side.
The fellow or nation that loses will
want TO tell the world how II all hap
pened so he can get a dish OF sympathy.
and he will loosen up and tell hts side OF
II. Meanwhile when they advance IL is
great victory. and when they retreat

As long as we keep cool. don't hurrah
