SOLDIERS TO WORK ON
TOYS AND ROADS

WINNIPEG, Dec. 16.-Absorbing
its crippled returned soldiers in civ
lillian life thru offering them work
in a great toy factory, Winnipeg to-
day hoped to enter the worlds mar
ket as toy producing center. 1t is
certain that at least on this side OF
the border, toys are marked "Made

than those labeled made in Ger

Constructing great highway
across Canada is another means pro-
posed for absorbing the unemployed
crippled soldiers returned from the
European battle fields. The road
would perhaps start at Halifax
thence run to Monoton, then follow
the st. Lawrence to point opposite
Quebec. Ottawa would then be touch
ed and the road would take q
straight line to Winnipeg, extending

HIGH SCHOOL MYSTERIES

A band of girls 15, 16, and II years
of age paraded the streets and in
vaded the newspaper offices at the
close of last week nursing u griev-
ance against the principal of the
North Denver High School, who re
fused to permit them to remain in
the schoolroom. The reason for his
refusal was on exhibition. Each one
of the protestants wore mismated
stockings of loud strip or hue. They
aimed to be so many isis Hopkins"
on rampage.
Individually, the pupils were sor-
ry for the exhibition they have made
of themselves; collectively they were
defiant and inclined to hysteria, the
difference being explained by th-
psychology of a crowd.
Altogether it was humiliating
performance. One felt sorry for the
deluded children. Somehow the
thought persisted that they were not
altogether to blame. They were too
inexperienced to realize their respon-
sibilities. They failed fully to ap-
preciate the position in which they
had placed themselves and their
school by appearing in public in such
guise and subsequently defying the
constituted authorities.
Where were the parents and
guardians of these obstreperous chill
dren and how far were they respon
sible for what took place? Parental
authority we fear must be reaching a
low ebb.
If it had been an ordinary school
prank the girls when dismissed would
have gone home and made amends
and closed the incident after repri-
mand from the parent and school
thead.
! But the student in sociology will
find food for further inquiry into the
manner chosen by the pupils to make
themselves conspicuous and in the
rebellion that followed. 1t is claimed
that the boy pupils had "sock day
and nothing was said by the authori-
ties. Why not the girls? Sex equal
ity in the schoolroom as precursor
to equal suffrage and militanism and
what not!
/
The mismated stocking incident is
not far removed from the abbreyiat-
/ ed skirt and the bizarre style to the
fashions in the cheap movies" and
the stage exhibitions which appear
so often at the regular playhouses.
School authorities can do some
thing to stop immodesty in dress, no
doubt; but after all, it is a question
principally for parental supervision
and direction. Rocky Mountain

these commissions should be abolish
ed. Both have certain specific work
to do in connection with the state
government and both have done good
work in their respective positions.
The industrial commission is bu.
two years of age. 1t has kept the
state out of several serious labor diff
ficulties. By reason of its work, the
lawsuits over accidents occurring to
employees and have been reduced over
sixty per cent. 1t saves, directly to
the people, in court costs, many times
over its cost of maintenance. In ad-
dition thru its works, damages can
be paid Immediately instead of sew
eral months or years after the acci-
dent.
The state tax commission is with
out doubt the most unpopular COM
mission in the state government.
This, from the fact, that in order to
be fair it must necessarily increase
the taxes on some property. No man
looks with kindly interest on the
governmental department that in
creases his taxes, no difference how
just the increase may be. The prin-
ciple of the industrial commission
and the principal Of the tax commits
sion are two principles that must be
maintained in the life of this state
if the state succeeds as a govern
mental agency. Their abolishment
will be a distinct setback to the
state of Colorado.
There is nothing political in this
editorial because the state tax com.
mission is of Democratic origin and
the industrial commission is of Re-
publican origin.-Pueblo Chieftain.

DErROIT'S MULTI-MILLIONAIRE
POLICE CHIEF STILL
CLEANING UP.

DETROIT, Dec. 16.-James Couz-
ms, Detroit's S50,000,000 police chief
who is distributing his own money at
the rate of $4,000 year in bonuses
for the good Of the service, is cred
tied with working wonders with the
force in his clean up that started
with his installation and is still un-
der way.
Some say Ford taught Couzins the
FORD Standard of efficiency, others
say that it was Couzons who taught
1t to Ford. in all events it is applied
to the force. Couzens believes in
discipline, the enforcement of every
Jaw on the books and rewards for
merit. His $4,000 salary and $4,000
additional out OF his own personal
fortune will go into these rewards
yearly.
I f'hat Codzens system his w6fsed
an his own life is apparent when it
IS recalled that he started his com
mercial career as Sl2 "A week book
&eeper in Detroit coal office. Now
950 100000 is only approximate.
Oouzens doesn't know with in a mil
,ion or SO, just what his wealth is.
Couzens was appointed just prior
20 the recent mayoralty campaign
when the cry for u cleanup was
strong. His first ukase was at the
saloons which had been violating the
closing hour law. "Obey the law was
mis- dictum and it won. The closing
Jaw is now faithfully obeyed.
Gamblers who behind closed doors,
nad been violating the law almost at
will were driven out and gambling
joints closed.
Blind pigs, organized under the
guise of social clubs must CO." was
another dictum. Thirty of such places
we're closed at once and have not
oeen reopened.
Couzens listened to thousands Of pro-
tests when he forbade the parking Of
automobiles in downtown streets but
ne stuck to his guns saying: eve
can't sacrifice the safety and con-
venience of the general public for the
more convenience of automobile own
ers." His order still stands.
Couzens is now delving into the So
cial vice situation. He is expected
to either eliminate all of the districts
sweeping the city clean of its i'm
moral women or to establish single,
closely policed district.
Couzens' philosophy on the bonus
system is brief. Honorable mentions
written after an officers name may
be all right but reward that will
buy shoes for the children or pay
the family doctor bill goes bit
further" he says.

Electric Furnace Proves Best,

An electric furnace for the heat
treatment of steel used in automobile
construction has been introduced. Its
method Of producing uniform, depend
able heat that is so urgently sought
by automobile manufacturers is quite
novel in electric furnace practice, al
though its principle is comparable to
that OF the well-known Nernst lamp.
Both the floor and the domelike COW
ers Of this furnace are Of a refractory
material which is practically noncon-
Quoting at ordinary temperatures. To
start the furnace, a current is passed
through . bed Of coke laid on its floor.
On being sufficiently heated the floor
becomes a conductor and In turn heats
the walls and top. rendering them
conductive. until finally the entire fur
mace becomes incandescent. 1t is
stated by those who have tried the
furnace that it's use in the heat treat
ment OF automobile parts promises to
be extensive In the future.

AUTHOR NOT WISELY GUIDED
Book May Have DepIorable Effect on
Humanity, In the Possible Passing
Of the Fat Man.

An American author who has made
q name for himself in American letters
threatens to nullify his good work by
standing sponsor for a volume entitled

he ~iberalizes to the proportions OF
an ep%icurean dream the food a fat

The fat man is a philosopher. despite
what Shakespeare makes Caesar say,

to have about him fat, sleek.headed
men," complaining that the lean and
hungry Cassius thinks too much" The
fat man exudes a joyous. unctuous op-
timism that inspires and cheers all
about him. He thinks. however, that
he would prefer to be thin, not realiz-
ing the origin OF his blessings. The
only thing that has prevented his be.
coming thin is the fact that most sys.
tens OF diet require a sort of starva-
tion-and his provender is more dear
