PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM

Washington appears to be making
ready to set an example to the coun-
try in preparedness-without wait
ing for. Congressional action or the
slow processes of War Department
procedure. The men who are behind
the movement for the formation of
what is practically a reserve for
the National Guard, of men who
have received military training in
the District under the name of the
Military Service Legion, are to be
congratulated for their practical
patriotism. They propose to gather
into one organization all of the men
in Washington who at one time OF
another served in the National
Guard, the volunteer army or any
of the separate military organiza-
tions that antedated the formation
of the National Guard, for the pur-
pose of continuing their military
training and to bring their knowl-
edge of things military up to date,
Arrangements have been made for
lectures by army officers, to utilize
existing facilities for rife practice
and TO get the men together regu-
larly for an exchange of views on
military subjects.
This is practically what the au-

before embargoes and blockades LAID
their heavy hands on normal trade.
The prediction, made before the
Ways and Means Committee, that
mems suits would cost from So to SO
more unless something were done to
diminish the dye shortage, was no
wild and reckless talk Of an alarn-
ist, but a careful statement of prob
able conditions in the immediate fu-
ture.
All industries concerned should
be awake to the necessity Of freeing
themselves from dependence on a
foreign power for coal tar colors,
which can perfectly we'll be pro
duced in this country. The manu-
facture of these colors, here can be
made a permanent and flourishing
industry, strong enough to hold its
own even when competing nations
are ready to exert every effort 10
regain their old grip upon us.
A suitable import duty will make
capitalists willing to take risks on
plants large enough to prove profit
able, will secure new opening for
American skill and labor and will
reduce prices to the consumer.
The Washington times., 1916-01-31
PROTECTION FOR DYsSTUFFs

No industry is in more danger
from the jolts and jars that are
bound to shake up trade when peace
comes than the manufacture of ami
line dyes. 1t has good sledhing now
but cheap labor in Europe and
shrewd manipulation Of experienced
agents will push it from the track
if Congress does not recognize its
urgent need of protection.
The seventeen firms which accord
ing to the Government bulletin en-
titled "Dyestuff Situation in the
United States" are manufacturing
intermediates from coal tar, and the
twelve firms supplying finished
dyes, are able to provide the market
with coloring material at the rate
Of $4,000 tons annually, while be
fore the beginning of the war only
5000 tons were turned out, and
those in large part from imported
intermediates. These figures speak
5loquently of what the American
production may rapidly become
under fostering conditions.

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-The United

REAL PROGRESS IN HOUSING

Within five years cities of this
country have evolved from a mild
and casual interest in housing prob
lens to a4serious and close study
Once attention was called often and
forcefully enough to what German
and British cities had done, we be-
gan to progress. Six years ago,
when the National Housing Asso-
citation was formed, six cities were
paying some attention to housing
their workingrnen. Now 200 cities
have either made surveys or passed
corrective legislation.
Now that communities are keehly
alive to the need of some solution,
the sponsors for the Ellen Wilson
block of model homes are going to
try to point way. Originally de-
signed merely as a memorial to the
late Mrs. Ellen Wilson, the me-
mortal is to take on the added value
Of a great big object lesson to the
entire country. The block of model
dwellings is not going to be one
more philanthropy. It is going to
demonstrate how the daily wage
Garner may be housed comfortably
and not be pauperized by having a
group of wealthy persons chipping
in to.help pay his rent. The. invest
mt in the homes is to pay a rea-
liable return to the investors.
f the sponsors for the project can
lduct the homes on this business
? basis, and if they can show the
ue of the enterprise, not only to
rse who live in the block, but to
community, they will have dem
Vnstrate a solution which can be
followed in any city.
Most other housing plans have de-
pended upon finding philanthropist
to put up the money. 1t is worth
noting, though, that Washington al
ready has worked out a similar plan
to the satisfaction of everyone con-
cerned. The Washington Sanitary
Improvement Company and the
Washington Sanitary Housing Com
pany staDd as monuments to the
advanced thinking of the late Gen.
George M. Sternberg. But the dem
onstration to be made in the me-
mortal to the late Mrs. Ellen Wilson
will carry far and wide, and it will
give to this simple device of "philan-
thropy at 5 per cent" a prestige that
will compel attention of other COM
munities trying to do a similar
work.

Federal Report Made
On Child Labor Laws

Under the title Of Child Labor LcEis-
latIon in the United States, the Depart
ment Of Labor has Just made public
a compilation Of the exact terms Of all
laws enacted up to January !. 1915. re-
latIng to any form OF child labor In the
United States. Alaska, Hawaii the
Philippines, and Porto Rico.
Decisions Of Federal courts and higher
state courts are included in connection
with the laws 10 which they refer,
II states: "rhe constitutionahty OF
child labor laws appears TO have been
finally and definitely established by the
recent decision Of the United States Su-
preme Court upholding the Illinois law
prohibiting employment under sixteen
years OF age in trades and occupations
classified by the legislature as dangerous
and injurious"
The Washington times., 1916-01-31

Judging from the prominence
given "dope fiends" in certain type
of play, and from the attention paid
them by temperance societies, the
country would be rife with drug ad-
diets. Reassuring facts in this re-
gard are set forth in a current bull
letin Of the Public Health Service.
In that bulletin are contained COM
putations made by DIR. M. l. Will
bert, Of the division of pharmacol-
ogy, who takes the figures of drug
importations for the basis of his
conclusions.
Comparing the amounts imported
with the average doses Of addicts
DR.. Wilbert computes that, even If
all the habit forming drugs which
came into this country in 1915 had
been used for illcT:timate purposes,
that there would be less than 175,000
opium addicts and less than $4,000
cocaine habitues.
Of course, all drugs imported are
not used for illegitimate purposes.
The total number of addicts is much
smaller than has generally been as
sumed. Added to this is the fact
that the Federal anti-narcotic law,
which went into effect last March,
has reduced the improper use Of
drugs to marked degree. The law
has not been wholly effective, DR..
Wilbert admits, because of flaws in
State laws. But these are gradually
being remedied as it. is generally
recognized the restrictive laws work
an economic good for any State or
community.
