THE DANGER OF ECONOMY
A Florist Urges Spending as the Only
Salvation of Hard Times.
Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Some of the newspapers are
teaching their readers TO practise
economies; for instance, 70 stop buy
ing flowers. Does It not occur to you
that there are two sides to an affair
involving articles of luXury-thelr
manufacture as well as their use?
Please take my case, for instance.
| am a grower of winter flowers. They
grow in greenhouses. The pace is set
when the houses are made and the
plants are started. Whether the times
are good OF the times are bad, there
has to- be just so much coal burned,
50 many men employed. the same guam
tity OF fertilizers bought and the same
degree of watchfuluess and care OBJ
served.
II times are hard" keep the money
going. To hoard it is to oblige the
other man to 90 without, TO obllge his
family TO be destitute. But moi
economics; stop spendingl" The man
ufacturer loses his sales and reduces
his output By holding and storing
his goods ne can ultimately get his
costs out Of them.
Not 50 with the man having green
houses If he keeps going az all he
must DO it in entirety, just as II his
sales we're good. His workmen have
families 70 support and the green
house coal bills need TO be met. The
fact that others are saving brings on
his ruin and IL is complete.
The way to combat bad times is to
practise, as far as with you It lies, a
reasonable spendthriftiness. Imagine
that times are good, and so save your
ncighbor from disaster. His pros
perity will in turn stimulate yours.

What do YOU want, o prof, with us?
We people here can't tolerate you,
You're such noisy sort of cuss,
And goodness how the kids all hate you!
Throughout the day this section rings
With imprecatioIs on each scholar,
And when you swat the poor young things,
It's simply fierce the way they holler,
Once you've been heard, the baneful sounds
OF riveting lose half their terror;
Compared with you, the Polo Grounds
Seem hushed when Evers makes an error.
One time we thought at night you'd cease
Your awful believing and screechng-
You've even killed those hours of peace
You're also doing nght-school teaching.
So now we folks who've scarcely slept
For weeks and months and years are coming
To ask you what you might accept

\ Carl G. Quale, an investigator for
the Illinois Senate White Slave Com
mission, decided to ascertain for him
self if the girls now in Henrici's are
really satisfied, so he wandered in
there one day last week, ordered
meal, and then engaged the waitress
in conversation.
81 asked her how much she was
paid" Quale said, land she told me
she got 81 week and tips. Then 1
questioned whether she did not feel
Inundated in taking tips.
''She told me that she did not like
to have to take tips, but in answer to
my question if she was satisfied, she
replied that she was.
"'You cannot mean that Quale
insisted. "A girl of your refinement
must certainly rebel at having a dime
tossed to her by some man rather
than feel the independence of receiv-
ing enough wages not to necessitate
receiving tips?'
Collins was passing up and down
in a nervous manner while Quale was
talking to the girl, and she hesitated
about answering, while her face
crimsoned.
QuaIe turned and looked at Col
Inns and Collins went back to the
desk. Then the girl answered

Winter Sleepers.

The bat tortoise and dormouse are
counted among the best winter Sleep
ers SO deep is the lethargy of a
dormouse that if this little creature
is awakened suddenly and put near a
fire his pulse beats so slowly that he is
lifeless in few minutes While asleep
he is kept alive by the surplus food
which he has eaten in the autumn
and which is stored up in his body us
fat. Frogs and toads are even sounder
sleepers and approach nearer to a life
less condition in sleep than any other
animal life except certain fish. For
in them the heart stops beating and
breathing in the ordinary way is inn
possible During this time the breath
ing is carried on through the pores Of
the skin. These strange cases of tor
por are also caused by lack Of food
during bitter cold. For in countries
where excessive heat and drought pre-
vail there are numerous instances Of
tOrpOr that are quite as profound as
that exhibited by the winter sleepers.

LIFE Term FOR BOND
IN IDA LEEGsON CASE
Big Factor in Verdict Is Identi-
fiCatiOn Of WOmdn'S Watch

CHICAGO - Isaac Bond was
found guilty of the murder of Ida G..
Leegson, art student and sculptress,
by a jury in Judge McDonald's court.
Punishment was fixed at life imprison-
ment.
Miss Leegson was lured to her death
while seeking position as a private
nurse Bond answered her advertise
ment, and Miss Leegson believed she
was on her way to her place of en-
ployment at the time she was killed.
The conviction of Bond was obtained
on circumstantial evidence. Witness
es for the prosecution identified him
as the man whom they had seen in the
company of the woman walking near
and across the prairie. A pawnbroker
also identified him as the man who
pawned Miss Leegson's watch, which
was stolen after she was slain, and it
is said this watch was the main factor
in determining the jury for conviction.
