the custom of the Wilkes syndi-

All machinery in this building
Is run by compressed air. In fact
there is no fire used in the entire
plant except in the blacksmith
shop.
The Puget Sound people are
the first and only ones in Taco
ma to manufacture steel. Mr.
Roberts said that their melting
and blast furnace has been In op-
Grafton for five years and yet
many people in the city believe
that Pittsburg Is the nearest
place where steel is made. The
steel output is about 20 tons a
day.

At the other end of the melt

during 1910, 4,794 babies under
l year of age died from bowel
trouble, and out of every 10 of
these babies were bottle-fed.
go Out of the 1928 babies

babies would have lived If they
had been nursed by their
mothers.
CD Mothers milk is the only
safe food for a baby during the
first six months of its life. If the
weather is warm the baby should
not be weaned until it is months
old. Cows milk or prepared food
can never equal breast milk as
the proper food for the baby.

have bowel trouble. Bottle-fed
babies rarely escape having 1t,

An aero fire alarm system, the
only one in the city, protects the
entire plant from fire. This
system consists of a number of
delicate wires which are very SEN
sltive to heat. These wires are
strung throughout the building
and the slightest heat will start
the alarm and locate the fire.
Employs Small Army.
When the plant Is running at
its maximum capacity about 600
men are employed. More than
1,500 logging engines alone have
been supplied to lumbermen of
the Northwest, Alaska, Califor-
mia and other places. A large
order of smelling machinery Is
being made for a southern smell
ter now.
President Roberts said that
less than three per cent of the
output is sold in Tacoma. The
rest represents outside money
which is brought to this city.
The officers of the company
are John l.. Roberts. president;
T.. ID. Roberts, vice president; A.
c. Marconnier, secretary, and
Thomas S. Morisey, superintend-
ent.

This Tacoma industry is one
of Tacoma's largest. 1t is one of
the biggest of its kind in the
Northwest, in fact.
Started in an old shack in
1895 at 21st and A streets, by
John l.. Roberts, president of the
company, the concern gathered
in plant after plant until it was
operating five different ones in
the city. In 1910 they were con-
solidated and the entire business
moved to the present site.
Fine shipping Facilities.
The present plant, composed of
six large buildings, is admirably
located as regards shipping ia
cilities. Four railways have ac-
cess to the plant and the property
has a water frontage of 1880
feet on the Puyallup river. The
old ways of the Hardy ship yard
composes a part of the yard,
making it extremely handy for
marine engineering work.
The main forge and machine
plant is a building 400 feet by
80 feet. One end is devoted en-

FIGHTING HIGH PRICES

Reports Of the garbage collectors
of the District indicate that the
high cost of living may not be an
unmixed evil. For the last two
months, and thus far in November,
the quantity of garbage collected
here has run from 20 to 20 per cent
in quantity behind the amount col
lected in the same period last year.
There also has been marked falling
off in quality7-that is, in richness
and fat content.
All of which means that Wash
ington housewives, in advance of the
war on waste planned by one wom-
ans club, have taken up the cudgel
against the kitchen leaks, and are
getting full value of the foods they
purchase.
Every tPatise on dietetics COM
plains that Americans consume too
much meat, eggs, and other rich and
fatty foods-the commodities mainly
affected by present high prices. One
domestic science expert has asserted
it is possible, losing nothing of
variety and nourishment, to keep the
family budget within the amount ex.
pended year or two ago.
Refusal Of housewives to stop buying
the foodstuffs that are high priced,
or to buy them in lesser quantities,
is a characteristic American trait.
If the high prices force women to
buy intelligently and avoid waste,
the cost of living may be worth the
price in experience.

MUNICIPAL DAIRY AGAIN

The Tristate Milk nm ission,
representing Pennsylvania, Mary
land, and Delaware, listened yester-
day at Philadelphia to DR.. ]. N.
Rosenberger, dairy farm adviser to
the Pennsylvania department of ag-
riculture. DR.. Rosenberger, one of
the real dairy authorities and dairy
economic experts of the country, ad-
vocated a municipal dairy as the
means to eliminate the worst wastes
IN milk purveyance.
DR.. Rosenberger and other speak
ers followed with singular fidelity
the line of reasoning which the
Maryland and Virginia Milk Pro-
ducers' Association adopted in advo-
eating recently this same solution.
The analysis of the wastes in the
milk business, both on the farm in
production, and in the city in distri-
button, was an analysis thoroughly
familiar to the people of Washing
ton, because it was presented here
several months ago. The tristate
commission seems to have added
nothing to the experience and argu-
ment presented by the milk pro-
ducers of this territory. 1t has, how
ever, emphasized and REINFORCED the
demand for a municipal establish
ment in the interest of greater eff
cheney. The Maryland-Virginia pro-
ducers, after detailed study of the
possibilities of the municipal dairy
and a cooperative dairy owned by
the producers, have committed them
selves to the municipal plan. The
executive committee of the organiza-
ton has taken this view by unani-
nous voice. Wherever thorough,
disinterested inquiry into milk condi-
tons is brought to logical conclu-
sion, the substance of this plan is
brought forward at the end.

CABRERA AND THE MEXICAN
SITUATION

At the time when the International
Joint Commission on Mexican af-
fairs was named, The Times pointed
out that Mr.. Luis Cabrera as a men,
Der of that body was altogether like
ly to prove an obstacle to any salts
factory adjustment Of relations be-
tween the two countries. It was
opined then that Mr.. Cabrera would
be found to have ideas Of his own
relating to his program for handling
the financial reorganization of Mex
leo that would not be regarded with
favor by the American Government.
Recent events have in impressive
fashion demonstrated the accuracy
of this analysis. Mr.. Cabrera is
credited with intruding the one ele-
ment of antagonism to an agreement
that promised at least the chance of
a settlement. Moreover, he appears,
though he is but one of three on the
Mexican side of the commission, to
entertain so large a measure of the
first chiefs confidence that he is able
to lay down terms and make them
represent the purposes of his gov
eminent.
1t occurs to the disinterested OBJ
server that an inquiry into the fiscal
policy of Mrr Cabrera, and his plans
for the future, might illumine the
reasons for his present attitude. II
Mr.. Cabrera is interposing conditions
which are calculated to make adj
justments impossible, the Washing
ton Government should understand
precisely why he is doing so. If he
is able, by the use of his "liberum
Veto" to enforce his own terms now,
it may easily happen that in future
his conditions will, when they are
fully understood, be such as to multi
ify any agreement now reached. Mr..
Cabrera has looked from the begin
ming as the most inharmonious ele-
ment in this conference. He looks
now like the threatening factor that
may wreck the entire effort. If he
is going to make his attitude, some
time in future. so Objectionable as to
compel Washington to demand his
retirement or the abandonment Of
his projects, that demand might as
we'll be made now as hereafter, pro-
vided sound reasons can now be de-
veloped in support of such a demand.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1916-11-21

much that would offend good taste
and good morals.
Similar restrictions prevail in re-
spect to book publication. Efforts
to purchase a certain recent novel Of
acknowledged literary merit, writ
ten in serious vein by thoughtful
author, will be met with the an
nouncement that this book has been
withdrawn from publication. 1t can
not be bought, it cannot be borrowed
in Libraries.
As for the freedom Of speech
ask the promoters Of the Birth Con-
troll League whether speech is free
and untrammeled.
This is not an argument for cen
sorship. The weight Of thoughtful
opinion seems to be against 1t. But
these facts ought to be considered in
discussing the problem. Motion pic
lures themselves are now under a
censorship. Cities may evade call
ing it that by placing power in the
hands Of the police or Of a license
commissioner. But it amounts to
the same thing.
Washington has a censorship. Re-

Solution Offered for Problem Of
Granting Saturday Half-Holiday
the Year Around,

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
The following Is submitted as a So
luton of the much talked-of Satur-
day half-holiday the year around for
Government CLERKS:
So far as observed. the only objec-
ton to granting this half-holiday to
the clerks Is The actual loss OF time
on Government work and the result
ing problem OF keeping the work up
to standard in the departments
The answer Is this Add an hours
woTx and an hours pay each day to
each employe. making Government
working hours the regular eight hours
per day. Then grant the employees
their legal half-hOlidays every Satur-
day.
This will not only solve the half
holiday question, but will go long
way toward solving another very
living-so far as Government clerks
are concerned, because they will then
receive an increased wage of approx
mately one seventh their present sal
aries for one-seventh more service
rendered.
Such an adjustment Will likewise be
beneficial to the departments In that
the number of employees need not be
increased for some time to come to
take care of the increasing volume of
business; present housings will meet
future requirements for a longer peri
cd, etc.
1t is believed that a large majority
of the Government clerks will well
come such an opportunity OF working
an extra hour for an extra hours pay.
OF course. 1t is entirely out OF mind
to think of great and just employer,
such as Uncle Sam, exacting an extra
hours labor without due compensa-
ton.
While this would not be an Increase
OF salaries, in the ordinary sense. II
would increase the earning capacity
of each employe by about one-seventh
OF his present salary, which Ia GER
tainly something to be considered
these days.
One other important point is favor
of such a plan lies in the removal OF
the Government clerk from the So
considered privileged class of en-
ployes. He would then be on an
eight hour basis, the same as his
elsewhere. and as a
direct result of this change leglsla-
tion looking to the Improvement OF
his conditions, such as civil service
retirement plans, viii be greatly sim
plifed, since the cry throughout the
country against the privileged Gov
eminent clerks will at once be hushed

MOVIE CENSORSHIP Diff
CULTIES

The Monday Evening Club de-
serves credit for bringing to Wash
ington last evening a group of men
qualified to talk, from years of ex-
pcrience and study, about the prob
lens of motion picture censorship.
After all the discussion of these men
and of Washington social workers,
there still are few facts about the
general principles of censorship
which need to be remembered.
In every argument about motion
picture censorship there always is
much talk about freedom of the
press and freedom of speech. Now,
to those who think in facts and not
in words, these outstanding realities
must be apparent:
The press does not have unlimited
freedom to print what it desires. II
is restrained by libel laws against
printing that which would be hurtful
to Individuals; it is estopped by
nostal regulations against printing

New York knows all about all
America. New York has its infor-
nation indexed, subdivided, filed

formation there is, and the most of
it, if one just knows where to find it;
and a particular kind of informa-
ton is likely to be in the possession
of the New Workers. who have the
most use for that kind.
AS to being provincial, the dis
covery that Presidential election

merely waken up the town and
codnteract any tendency it may
have to be provincial.
