THURSDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1919
LET'S COME OUT OF TT

" HATS the use Of spending oul
" whole lives sleeping in the
same old rut>when there are bigger
ones all around US?
What's the use of being in a rut at
all? We want more industries, and
new industries are never found in
ruts.
Ruts are too small for them. Let s
crawl up out of our rut.
There is nothing In the old rut for
us, but there are opportunities in ev-
cry direction II we care to reach out
and grasp them. It is up to US.
We can stagnate in our rut, or we
can reach out and grasp something
pull ourselves out-do something
get to the top.
klamath needs new industries, and
there are manufacturers all over the
country looking for changes in loca-
tion. But they will never erect their
plants in rut. They are full Of life,
and they want a live atmosphere
about them.
They want to locate in a community
with advantages. We have them.
They want to be surrounded by peo
pie of intelligence. who know how to
use their brains. We have the intelli-
gence. and our brains are capable of
accomplishing vastly more than we
have ever dreamed Of in the past.
This community is charged with in
tellectual and physical dynamite. but
it's in a rut, and needs some one to
blow it out.
Let's all get busy and blow. Let's
pull some Of those manufacturers into
klamath on tour Of inspection, and
then let's give them fair opportunity
to size up our natural advantages and
our Intellectual force.
We won't get them all, but We will
get some of them. Nobody ever swal-
lowed loaf of bread at one gulp. |
Many bites make up a square meal,
and many efforts will bring new in
dustries into> our midst. with bigger
payrolls and more money in circula-
tion, and more houses to be filled and |
to be fed. It all contributes
to the prosperity Of a community.
Prosperity never goes out looking
for place to light. We must hook It |
on the fly, and our hook must be we'll /
haited or the other fellow will have
the strongest pull.
Again we say, let's get out of our
rut and do something. Let's make a
careful and systematic campaign for
new industries. increased population
and greater prosperity. It's waiting
'or us. but 1t won't come to us. II
We must 60 out after It. Oppor-
tunity is everywhere. but 1t wont
crawl into our pockets unlimited. We
must reach out for 1t. grasp It, haul
Il in with united community pull.
How many of our citizens would
Ike to see new factories come to
klamath? How many are willing to
DIN whole heartedly in an effort to
'et them? Let's stand up and be
ounted.

THE UNITED STATES AND PEACE
Mr.. Sydney Brooks Sees Grave Danger IN
American Peace Propaganda

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir, A section OF the American people II
read tho signs Alright, are preparing LOT
themselves a huge disappointment Ihey are
beginning 70 talk and to agitate about peace
in way that exposes them partly to the
ridicule and partly TO the resentment OF the
Allied nations They are also urging upon
the United States government hope ana
believe quite vsinly-a course OF action the'
could only lead to n sharp rebuff and sharper
Misunderstanding. As ono who sets value
that cannot be exaggerated upon Anglo,
American good Will and who looks FORWARD
20 Anglo-American cooperation "a essentlai
10 the future peace and sanity OF the world
feel impelled 20 sound note Of warning
before a propaganda 80 certain TO strain the
relations between the British and American
peoples and so equally certain TO produce no
other result gathers further Roadway.
MAY I therefore say, with all possible
bluntness, that the time for An acceptable
and fruitful tender Of Americas or any other
neutral country's good Offices is not YETI
am not even sure that IL will ever come
There may DC no opportunity at all for any
outside mediation beyond the offer OF such
services as could be just as well performed
by a telephone exchange. Certainly any at
tempt 10 bring about an accommodation be-
tween the bellgerents would as things are
to-day, be resented in Great Britain as an
act combining the maximum Of unfrendiness
with the maximum of stupidity, as an mex
cusable error in the fourth dimension, as a
witless effort 20 solve a problem the very
elements Of which had not been mastered.
For we in England-and what holds good
for England holds equally good 10 my own
knowledge for France-are not thinking Of
peace. We are thinking of victory. We are
looking out, not for ways Of ending the war,
but of crushing German militarism. And,
what is more, we are confident of success.
For two and half years we have borne our
part in wsrding off the most formidable con-
spiracy ever Matched against the liberties Of
Europe. It is utterly idle now, when we arc
nearing but have not yet reached our full
height Of power, TO dream of asking US TO
stay our hand. Fearful as the cost must be
in lives and treasure, we intend to 20 on with
our task until it is finished. And we shall
treat with scant patience any attempt on the
part of lookers-on 10 divert or arrest our
fixed resolve.
There is no thought in the minds of any
Of the Allies Of accepting a German-made
peace. There is every hope and every inten.
ton Of debating a peace that will not be
German made. 1t is automatic not only with
Great Britain but with France, Russia and
Italy that early peace, or any peace at all
arranged through external solicitation, would
be greater victory for Germany than any
she has won or now can ever win on the
field Of battle. That conviction is funda.
mental. And it conveys TO Americans one
very clear warning warning of Hands
off" SYDNEY BROOKS.

Working for Fun

Mr.. Henry Ford's statement that he
manufactures automobiles for the fun of
it will surprise few people. To all ap-
pearances Mr.. Ford gets large amount
Of entertainment out of his business, and
no one would wish to deny him his amuse-
ment. Mr. Ford is interesting in his fun.
He is a social phenomenon. He seems to
have a genius for passing the fun around.
His employees are evidently getting their
share of it. 1t is said that a multitude OF
users of Ford cars have been let in on the
Joke, and even the general public has
found in Mr.. Ford's career some occasions
for innocent amusement
However, Mr.. Ford is not unique in do
ing his work for the fun of it. All VINO
love their work, all whose daily tasks have
not degenerated into a meaningless grind
Of wage slavery, experience a like JOY in
their work. Thousands of people paint
pictures, write books and make beautiful
things for the sheer fun Of doing it. Other
thousands make bricks, sell cigars, fire
boilers, build houses, wait on tables, run
railway trains and do all sorts of things,
each one finding his own work the most
interesting thing in the world, so fascinat-
ing indeed that he can hardly talk about
anything but shop.
It is this element of interest which trans
forms labor into art, makes a good work
man and saves industry from mechanical
drudgery. II all men could work for the
fun Of it, there would be no labor problem.
But men can hardly be expected to get
much fun out Of tasks in which they feel
they are not getting a square deal; there
is no fun in that labor in which men are
rot permitted TO express something of
themselves, no fun in that which offers
them no hope Of getting ahead.
1t is easy for the prosperous and sue
cessful TO get fun out of their work; IL is
natural that such persons should fail to.

Honesty in Egg Labelling

There is a regulation Of the Health De
partment that all eggs offered for sale in
this city which have ever been placed in
cold storage shall be so designated. That
is a wholesome and proper provision for
the protection Of the purchaser; but it is
50 frequently and generally evaded that
it fails 20 protect. Hundreds OF dozens Of
eggs sold as strictly fresh" are merely
frst-grade stored eggs. Those which
frankly admit their sojourn in the ice
house are seconds-or worse-and It is to
their character that the general prejudice
against stored eggs is due.
The order Of Commissioner Dillon Of
the State Department Of Foods and Mar
kets that every egg held in cold storage
shall be plainly marked cold storage" on
the shell is eminently desirable. Il should
DO thoroughly and strictly enforced. En-
forcement Of that order is bound to reduce
the current prices Of eggs by preventing
the extortion Of Strictly fresh" prices
from buyers for eggs many week from

War Loans to Date
Iron the Philadelphia Tnqinrer)


According to "The Wall Street Journal"
which may be considered a competent author
ity, the present Indebtedness of the beliger-
ent nations of Europe amounts to a trife less
than $4,000 100000, an utterly inconceivable
sum. OF this amount s27,000,0 100000 was in
existence before the war, so that the cost Of
the conflict to date has been over S50,000
100000 in new bonds issued. IL estimates
that there has been an additional expense Of
about $4,000 100000, a part Of which has
been raised by taxation, some is represented
BY notes and the rest is debt not yet pro-
vided for or in process of arrangement.
Great Britain leads the list with Sl3,840.-
100000 of new debt. Germany, Russia and
France have each issued little more than
SIC, 900, 600 900 in bonds, while Austria Hun
gary has issued less than $4,000, 100000 and
Italy less than SO 1000, 100000. The other small
nations are not given in detail. 1t is sup
posed that Great Britain has loaned heavily
to some of her Allies, but her chance of get
ting back any of the advances depends upon
the condition the war leaves her friends.
statement is made by one OF the British
Treasury officials that so far Great Britain
has paid almost one-third of her war cost out
of new taxation, besides paying all the heavy
interest charges from current receipts
France has laid new taxation, but Germany
has adopted the policy of borrowing 10 pay
interest until the end of the war; although
some new taxes have been laid.

A NOTIFYING SYSTEM
In England Hotels and Restaurants So
Conducted Are Popular
Id the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Cloak room tips are the same nuisance
as other hotel tips, only more so. That the
whole nuisance can be abolished and with
profit 10 the management, is shown by the
chain Of frst-class hotels recently erected in
London (the latest completed less than a
year ago., which have never ceased 10 be
filled 10 capacity.
They started with no-tip restaurants IN
London a generation ago; then came the no
tin frst-class restaurant conducted by the
big firm headed by Sir Joseph Lyons. On each
table was a notice saying IN substance: mo
tips Patrons are requested to help the man
agement in enforcing this rule. Any employe
found receiving a tip will be instantly dis
charged" Other notices said: I'VE pay our
employees adequate wages, and they do not
expect tips" The success of this restaurant
led to the construction of number of others,
managed by the same firm. Recently they
went into the no-tip hotel business, and their
instant success has led to others copying
them. The old tipping hotels in London
would soon be extinct but for Americans and
other people who are fond of wasting money.
went to lunch at one Of them several times
during my recent stay in London, and found
the service equal to any in London. The
cloak room was entirely free to any one who
cared 70 leave hat and coat there, even II
only staying at the hotel a few minutes, TO
see a friend The same notice against tips
was posted very conspicuously. In the wash
ing room the usual English charge OF two
pence -four cents for wash and brush up"
was made TO casual visitors and outsiders, but
hotel guests were exempt. \The man in
charge simply asked you, on leaving, Are you
staying at the hotel?" II you said no, he
collected twopence, which duly went into the
cash register before your eyes. Here again,
no tips.
The most remarkable result Of the abolition
Of tips has been the higher class of employees.
The fear Of being tipped, and thereby de-
graded in the scale Of humanity, has long
kept quite a number of competent people from
entering the hotel field.
And can you conceive anything more I'M
democratic than tipping? P. d. HUGON.

Brazil dyestUf syndicate which formed in
Paris last August and has already sold, in
two months, 1000 Kilograms (about 100000
pounds, according to the statement at the
October meeting, where all the colors obtained
from Brazil were critically examined by eX-
perts and compared with the German aniline
dyes.
There were exhibited beautiful reds from
the brauna, the carajuru the roucou and the
better known sangre de drago; the pink Of
the srariba, the yellow of the tatagiba and
echme, the rich violet Of the gevipao, the
indigo of the eupstoria, the black Of the
csparosa negreira, etc. All these dyes are
vegetable and grow in wild profusion from
Para to Minas Gerses. The colors sell at .
francs 90 per kilogram about 22 cents a
pound, whereas the anilines cost 3 francs rs
per kilogram (about 81 cents a pound.
II was reported at the meeting that London
fur dyers had bought the bulk Of black and
brown dyes, "and that the dyes are fast lus-
trous, mothproof, non-irrtsting and non
poisonous" The meeting authorized the pur-
chase of all the dye territory Of Brazil "be-
fore American investors awoke TO their ad-
vantage" Thus far, agents had bought color
ing matter from the local gatherers; but the
meeting was unanimous in authorizing an
outright purchase "st any cost" before "a new

country, can take away the existing sdvan-
