Let the Sunlight In
BY II. ApolNGToN BRUCE.
Author of The Riddle or Personality.
Psychology and Parenthood. ETC.

Travelling the other day from one large city 10
another was much impressed by the increased
window space provided in factories along the
railway line, as compared Win iactoEies ouh'
not many years ago.
II is an excellent innovation. and one which
might well be applied TO the home as well as
TO the factory, store and office.
AS things stand. many people seem 10 make
il a point TO let as little sunlight as possible
into their dwelling places. Not only do they
have too few windows. but they darken their
rooms with heavy curtains, which keep out ooth
sun and air.
ouently the case that they surround the whole
ground floor with a rooted and perhaps ivy-coy
cred veranda And they allow shade trees to
spread out their branches until the house Is
kept in almost perpetual semigloom.
or course in extremely hot weather II Is desir-
able to protect the interior OF dwellings from the
force ~ the suns rays. But there are means
of doing this without erecting a permanent bar
ricade against the inflow OF one OF Natures
surest aids TO health, efficiency and happiness.
| Sunlight acts in many ways TO promote the
well-beng of those who allow II TO enter tneir
homes freely As an illuminant IL lessons the
risk of eye-strain. that insidious and often un
suspected cause Of WEAKNESS, nervousness and
physical illhealth.
It is a germicide OF the first order. In this
respect medical authorities rate sunlight with
fresh air as superior even to chemical disinfec-
tants House dust, SO frequently laden with the
germs of disease, loses its maign power IL the
| sunlight can get at IL.
Hence the often observed fact that people who
live in sun-fooded houses suffer less from colds
and other germ-caused ailments than do those
whose houses the sun Is less conspicuously a
visitor.
In every house there is always a Judgment
OF dust that defes the most vigilant housekeep
! er. When the sun can reach and kill any in
lection In this dust harm results from it's
presence But when curtains. shade trees or
lack of windows makes IL impossible for the
sun TO perform its germicidal task, health is
always threatened.
| The most important function Of sunlight, how
ever. is to act benefcially on the mental states
of all persons permitting IL ready access to their
dwelling. The sun IL potent creator of cheer
fulness and contentment. II may be accepted
as automatic that gloom in the house makes
for gloom in the mind. and that sunlight makes
for JOY.
BY creating cheerfulness IL also invigorates
the whole bodily organism, in accordance with
the wel-estabished law that all physical func
tons are stimulated by pleasurable mental
states.
/ The sun thus acts as tonic for both mind
and body-a tonic better and cheaper than is to
be found on the shelves OF the best-stocked

John d., Jr., At Last Visits
the Coal Camps; Now What?

We hear that John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
is at last making his tardy inspection of
the coal camps and labor troubles in
Colorado, and that upon his conclusion
a. to conditions, the future policy" of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. will be
based.
We all remember Mr.. Rockefeler's tes-
timony at the hearing before the COM
mission sent to investigate by the United
States government, and how he con-
demned himself out of his own mouth.
We had our doubts, at the time, of his
child-like ignorance of all things pertain
ing to that property and wondered how
20 astute business man could be more
unaware of the state of his own affairs
than the average citizen of the United
States was concerning them.
This visit Of his recalls the facts of the
case Is we have come to know them.
The grievances of the miners, which
were not based upon wages and time
mainly, but the feudal conditions apper-
tanning to the camp, conditions not to be
borne outside of Siberia.
Though q man was ostensibly citizen
q Of the United States, he was actually a
vassal Of the United Fuel and Iron Co.
His money went back into the concern
through the company's stores; in fact, he
~ almost no money at all, but was paid
( n orders upon the stores.
Armed guards were maintained and he
0nuld not even receive his mail excepting
through the company's post Office whose
dlcial inspected or withheld it if they
saw At.
We all know the complaint of the
measuring, weighing system in vogue, in
which the miner loses out; the company,
never.
We remember the brutality of the
state militia when the strike broke out,
and the amazing RELUCTANCE of the
chief executive to interfere.
We have not forgotten the general
opinion that the chief executive, the
\ militia and the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Co. were all working together for
ORDER in a manner never before toler-
ated in this country.
We remember the terrible massacre of
4 the women and children in the tent
colony and how the women of Denver
Z (vOters, by the way) marched to the
capitol, several thousands of them, and
demanded that the governor send for
federal troops; how he promised, after
many hours, and how the women, hav-
) ing little faith in his word, camped about
Z the capitol all day, until the telegram
y was sent and the answer from President
Y Wilson was read to them.
We remember the trial, if It could be
called such, of Lawson and his unjust
Imprisonment.
In fact, we have not forgotten any of
the whole rotten performance, and We
are wondering what Mr.. Rockefeller and
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. are going
to do about it.
That they will make few concessions
Is likely; just enough to keep the fire
from breaking out while they devise new
schemes with which to Cypress the
worker and keep their Golfers overflow

COLCHESTER

The following. Is 9. New York wo- mans account o1 what she saw a week ago at the rooms of the Colchester Boys club:
 I was particularly surprised to find in place the size of Colchester this desire to help the boys in gaining foundation and energy sufficient to car ry it out. Such work would require Q man of unusual executive ability and the director showed himself equal to the occasion and extremely re- sourceful in understanding and draw ing out what would be most useful for the boys under his charge. All de- tails of work were apparently inter esting to him.
 Two little boys were making boat, their whole attention given to it, a boat large enough to be of use to them, and which. they assured me was to be a peace boat, for they didn't believe in war. I hope they really meant it. In another room a boy was making @ writing desk, the building of which opened innumerable avenues for him. He might have made one at home if he had greatly wanted to, but how correctly would it have been done? How accurate would he have been in his measurements, how careful in finishing?
 Most interesting were the drawings, showing the boys comprehension of
 
 as their ability to express that com prehension. Is it not possible that here were planted the seeds of future draftsmen, architects and landscape gardeners? I have been interested in work of this kind and have had some opportunity of seeing it in Felix Ad ler's school and I was a, little surprised to find the work of these boys rather above the usual work of boys of their age.
 Four boys were taking their first lessons in concentration through the games of chess and checkers and the director superintended these as well as the others. There were about 15 boys in the room when I first went in and the difference in their occupa- tions was very marked. Whether amusements or manual training held them, it was quite evident that the best in them was being put forward in their efforts. And isn't that tan gfble acquisition for everyone con- cerned in any way with either the boys or the town?
 At a recent meeting of Boys club officers, held in Pittsfield, Mass, an exhibition of mechanical drawing from clubs from six states was made and
