HOW PROSPERITY is
HELPING THE WORKERS

The Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the United States Department of La
Dor has issued a summary of the re-
suits of the third study into the series
of Investigations being made into I'M
employment. In II western cities, of
Butte, Los Angeles, Oakland, Orden,
Portland, Sacramento, Salt Lake City,
San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle,
Spokane and Tacoma, out of a total
of 36,537 families canvassed, having
a wage earning population of 1888, it
was found that 1878 or 1873 per cent.
were entirely out of employment and
9,971 or 2O.2 per cent. were employed
only part time. This canvass took
into consideration only those workers
who have some permanency of resi-
dence and did not cover the immense
population of itinerants in these cities

THE COST OF LIVING

An old Scotswoman, who had re-
sisted all entreaties of her friends to
have her photograph taken, was at
last induced to employ the services of
a local artist in order to send her
likeness to a son in South America
On receiving the first impression she
failed to recognize the figure thereon
depicted as herself; so, card in hand,
she set out for the artists studio to
ask if there was no mistake,
as that me?" she queried.
Eyes, madam" replied the artist.
"And is it like me?" she again
asked.
Eyes, madam; it's a speaking like
ness"
"Aweel!" she said, resignedly, otis
a humblin' SIGHT"

RETAIL PRICES ON FOOD
IN THE UNITED STATES

Reports to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of retail prices of II of the
principal articles of food for July Is,
1915, covering Al important industrial
cities throughout the United States
show a decrease of l per cent in the
price of all articles combined from
July, 1914, to July, 1915. According
to previous reports to the bureau,
retail prices had been gradually in
creasing from 81 per cent. in July,
1911, to 100 per cent. in July, 1914.
The price of all meats was lower
in July, 1915, than in July, 1914. The
price of lard, eggs, potatoes, and milk
was also lower in July, 1915, than in
July, 1914, while only flour, cornmeal,
butter and sugar showed an increase
in price. The increases in flour and
sugar, however, were quite marked,

states and the District of Columbia
were arrer to those specifically per-
hitting the use of public school build
ings as social centers and nine amend
ed or for the first time passed a play
ground law; and four states passed
model vital statistics law in which
the Children's Bureau is interested
because it considers complete birth
registration of fundamental import
ance to child welfare work.
ALABAMA ADVANCES
A few of the forty-five states made
notable advances. Alabama, for eX-
ample, whose legislature meets only
once in four years, enacted a new
child labor law, compulsory school
attendance law, an excellent desertion
and non-support law, and statewide
juvenile court law. Florida remod-
elled it's treatment of juvenile delin-
quents, recognized the principle of
compulsory school attendance, passed
the model vital statistics law, and ap-
pointed two of the state commissions
already referred to. Kansas estab-
lished an industrial commission to
regulate hours, wages and conditions
of work for women and minors, and
division of child hygiene in the state
board of health; it also enacted a
playground law and a mothers pen
sion law. New Jersey and Wyoming
passed comprehensive acts relating to
the care of dependent children and
Pennsylvania carefully drafted laws
relating to child labor and vocational
education.
The Children's Bureau has included
in it's review the outlying territories
of the United States and reports that
Alaska has forbidden the employment
of boys under Is underground in
mines; Hawaii has passed a curfew
law for girls under 16 in Honolulu;
the Philippines have provided for den
tai clinics in the schools and created
a public welfare board to establish
and maintain social centers; and Por-
to Rico has passed a modern juvenile
court law

TO SHOOT FOOD RIOT HEADS

Frequent food riots in Berlin with
threats from authorities that the ring
leaders will be shot if the disorders
continue, are reported today in Co.
penhagen dispatches.
The smashing of shop windows and
looting by throngs of needy in the
German capital are of daily occur
renee, the reports say.
Warnings of punishment have been
placarded throughout the city by the
ministry of the interior. Besides
death for the leaders, all the partici
pants are advised that they risk 10
year terms of Imprisonment.

Forty-five state and territorial leg
islatures and the congress of the Unit
ed States in 1915 passed laws affect
ing children, according to the Chill
dren's Bureau, which has just COM
pleted its survey of such legislation
during the current year. Special ref
erence is made to the impressive bulk
Of children's laws and to the number
Of commissions appointed to study
and prepare for future legislation.
Arkansas, Florida, and Utah have
commissions to report on the needs
of the feeble-minded; New Jersey, a
commission to prepare State pro-
care of detectives, dependents, and de-
linquents Missouri and New Hamp-
shire, commissions on the needs of
the blind; Delaware, commission on
vocational education; Idaho, a COM
mission to report on the need for a
minimum wage law Florida and In
diana, commissions on the need for
mothers pensions; and California, a
commission to study social insurance.
The Bureau says that the appoint
ment of these commissions indicates
a growing realization that benevolent
intent can not safely be accepted as
a substitute for the careful formula
ton of statutes for social betterment
The subjects to which study is direct
ed are all of immediate concern to
children, and the states are thus fair
ly committed to a policy of selecting
and harmonizing provisions which
leads plainly toward the collection
and codifying of all laws relating to
children.

work, shoemaking, carpentry, dress
making, painting or printing; in these

In order to effectually accomplish
this the sequestration must be per

beetle is a greater menace to society
than is the unframed, in that with
latent powers and talents developed
to the point of concealing defect, he
is no longer recognized, and has open
ed to him a larger field for the in
diligence of instincts-be they Grim
inal or merely emotional.
URGES TRAINING SCHOOLS
Training schools for detectives,
without the protection of permanent
sequestration, find themselves twice
defeated in their aim; not only that
of preventing increase, and of lessen
ing crime, but in the loss of trained
laborers aiding in self-support and in
the care of the helpless. For this
evil, legislation offers no remedy, no
state in the union providing for In
determinate sequestration.
"Why might not the government set
aside a reservation for such? Surely
they are as deserving as the Indian
or the negro; and such provision
would be far more reasonable and eco
nomical than penitentiaries, for which
there would then be no need.

decentralization of the unfit in one gen

Pennsylvania Instructor Urges Segre

ALBANY, n. Y.-Ten per cent OF

States is mentally defective and those
Predetermined persons constitute Il

the Pennsylvania Training School for
Predetermined Children at Elwyn,
Pa. told the delegates to the State

ton here.
The faint of feeble mindedness can
never be eliminated from a racial
strain, he said, but it can be gradual
ly suppressed.
much of the feeble mindedness
among the lower classes may be trac-
ed to the well-meaning but misdirect-
ed efforts of many charitable homes

Roosevelt said or thinks of Barnes is of
small moment to the people, What
Barnes may gain or lose through forcing
an action for libel is of even less impor-
lance. Yet the hearing of the case at
Syracuse is of more Importance to
Americans than any event of recent
years. 1t makes clear that there exists in
the United States large class, chiefly of
the wealthy, the powerful, the corpora

who do not believe the people are COM
petent to govern themselves. Anyone
spending even month in Washington
will discover that this belief is deeply
rooted among certain statesmen"
Baer of the Reading railroad, and
others have expressed the belief clearly.
The belief being sincere and deep the
logical sequence is clear. If the people
are uufit to govern themselves, those
