60 TO the various annexes to this
exhibit all over the city and see the
results of work under the conditions
the league is fighting. Almost any
tuberculosis hospital or home for in
curables is an annex to a Consumers
League exhibit. These exhibits ought
to be Installed permanently along
side Of such institutions. The wasted
things that were once men and
women; the bent and bowed crea-
lures that once were upright citizens
many Of these-not all but many
of them-have been given doses Of
the poison Of which the average bar
gain counter is the harmless by
product.
The proprietors of the best shops
in this city and others recognize
the value of the Consumers League
label on their goods and recognize
likewise that it can appear on real
bargains-the kind the thrifty
housewife buys because the quality
OF the goods and the workmanship
is real. The honest merchants Of
Washington have foresworn the
sweatshop product. They realize it
does not help them. It's quality never
did any good to a real business in
stitution. The honest merchants
which means most of the merchants
OF Washington-are heartily in
favor Of the projects the Consumers
League backs.

GOOD WORK FOR CHILDREN

Washington has been singularly
successful in the progress made by
its Juvenile Court. Perhaps that
was partly because it has not de-
pended upon the personality Of any
one individual, but has received CO.
operation from all community
agencies dealing with children. 1t
has had only two judges, William H.
De Lacy and ]. Wilber Latimer, and
both these men have been able to
develop the work of the court with
out any skyrocket methods, but
simply by sane and common sense
appeals stating the needs of their
court.
Yesterday the District Committee
of the House reported favorably on
a measure which, when adopted,
will place the Juvenile Court here
among the most advanced courts of
its kind in this country. Even this
bill is no one-man measure; it was
framed by a committee which in
cludes, as we'll as Judge Latimer,
other recognized authorities in child
welfare, such as Bernard Flexner, of
Chicago; Miss Julia Lathrop, of the
Children's Bureau; the Rev. William
]. Kerby, of Catholic University, and
William H. Baldwin.
A principal feature of the law is
that which puts an end to the piling
up of criminal" records against
children brought into court for petty
misdemeanors. 1t does not fasten a
lifelong court record and forever
invalidate his serving on a jury and
performing other duties of a citizen
because he has stolen a newspaper
or taken part in some harmless
prank, which grown-ups who were
not within the jurisdiction of a
juvenile court like to tell with glee
when they recall their own juvenile
days.
There are still persons who think
justice is being thwarted if, when a
boy has committed an offense, they
do not see him hailed into a court
tried by a judge before a crowded
court room, and then made to serve
a term in a reform school or made tc
pay a fine, which his father, Of
course, pays. But one function of q
juvenile court is to save children
from the treatment they would gel
at the hands of such persons.
The names of those who framed
the proposed law are enough to rec
ommend it to Congress. A study Of
its provisions will carry conviction
of its wisdom and sanity.

RA|NEY SEES CHANGE

A SCHOOL EMERGENCY FUND

Maybe, if enough things happen,
Congress will provide an emergency
fund for the use of public schools.
Maybe, but there was, the Western
High School fire. The structure lay
open to the elements, with no funds
even to protect what was left of it,
much less to go ahead with the
necessary work of rebuilding, which
had to be done sooner or later. 1t
was good economy to have done it
right away. But the work had to
wait eighteen months until Congress
appropriated for it.
Today $4,000 school children are
without towels, and in some schools
they must go without drinking
water, until some scheme for provid-
ing individual cups is devised. The
towel proposition is hopeless. There
is no towel money left, and there is
no emergency fund.
Lesser things of the same sort
come up all the time. Much might
be saved by a timely alteration, or
by needed improvement. But two
years is the average waiting time
for money for such a project. Even
the repair fund is never adequate
and, ridiculous as it may seem, rooms
must go without blinds, shattered
windows must wait for replacement,
and odds and ends like that must go
over, all until Congress gets ready
to pass upon this mighty financial
problem,

THE WORD FROM THE WEST

President -WilBon went out West
believing, as many other people did,
that the West was lacking in under
standing of tie national crisis, and
sympathy for the efforts to prepare
it to defend itself. AS he has trav-
eled farther West, the attitude Of
the people has more and more indi-
Gated that the West has been done
injustice. 1t does understand, and
it does respond to the appeal in be-
half of national safety and national
honor.
Pittsburgh seems TO have been
least responsive of all the communi-
ties in which the Chief Executive
has voiced his appeal. Des Moines,
farthest West, the heart of a region
that has been pictured as peculiarly ,
uncOncemed and unaroused, gave

CONSUMERS LEAGUE WORK

Bargain hunters-not the thrifty
housewives who try to save reason
ably, but the type that just hunt
bargains for no further reason than
that they are bargains-should visit
the exhibit the Consumers League
has just established in Washington.
They should give particular atten-
tiOn to the articles that are exhibited
on the tables and in the show cases
t!St were made in Washington by
people who work in unhealthy sur
roundings and for long hours. They
should give attention also to the bot
tie of poison that is one of the inn
pOrtant exhibits.
Strychnine, laudanum, cyanide of
potassium are rather crude things
nowadays. Long hours bent over a
work table, bad light, stuffy work
rooms, insanitary plumbing, ETC., are
far superior as they leave no trace
and kill quite as surely. That is
what the Consumers League means
by the bottle of poison it has incor-
porated among its exhibits.
1t is a pity the visitors cannot all
