No More Parades If
They Are To Be Managed
Like Tuesdays Disgrace

1t takes away none Of the honor De-
troit sought to pay the departing con-
scripts, to put our opinions together and
find that they melt into a common senti-
ment that Tuesdays parade was an out
rageously-managed affair, and that we
have lucky star to thank that it did not
develop into tragedy.
The past has established, or should
have established, that a parade of any
size at all on Woodward-ave. is impos-
sible
A little foresight on the part of those
who were responsible for Tuesdays pa
rade would have kept it off Woodward
ave entirely.
The avenue for the parade was Jeffer-
son, straight and wide and just the thoro-
fare for the carrying out of a program
like Tuesdays if, indeed, Detroit has not
outgrown that kind Of a program en-
tirely.
On Jefferson-ave. the near riot that
occurred at the Campus Martius would
have been averted, the opening at the
Campus inviting exactly what took place
when the mob had worked itself up to
a fghting-mad frenzy.
The police would have had straight
line of spectators to cope with and would
have made much better job Of il than
they did on Tuesday.
Besides. fewer of them would have
been needed and daylight burglaries, as
saults, case of stolen automobiles would
have been less numerous.
There would have been the entire north
side of the city, in quick reach of Jeffer-
son for the parking of automobiles and
the unloading Of street cars, which serv-
ice would have escaped with a minimum
OF interruption.

There Are Too Many Ten
Cent Breakfasts; Stop Them,
American Business Man

There are too many ten-cent break
fasts.
You can't run a nation or even ma
tons business on bread and coffee cour-
age.
Every city lunch counter and cheap
restaurant in our American cities shows
too many workers starting a day S work
on two rolls and a cup of collective
cents food, three cents nerve stimulus,
and five cents for the restaurant owner.
The majority Of the ten-cent break
fasters are girls. They are fne-looking
girls with pretty hats and neat SUITS, and
capable self-reSpecting air and al
they have to support that capacity and
self-reSpect until noon is three cents
worth of bread and coffee And what
they work on all day and all week IS not
that miserable bread and coffee ~ its
their rich store of youth and courage
backing up that cheap cofee-courage.
It works fne-for a whie-and for YOU,
Mr.. Business Man When it quits work
ing all YOU know about IL Is that your
stenographer's health broke and YOU
have 10 get a new and poorer one.
II works fine for BusinesS-but It
stops there.
1t doesn't work at all for the girl
nor for your United States for which
you wave your flag and send your boys
to fight, and then calmly Kill off the best
types of your young women, the only
thing that can keep your nation alive.
Mr.. Business Man, here's another lit
tie job for your patriotism
STOP THESE TEN-CENT BREAK
FASTSi
A woman who works can live in de-
cency and some comfort on fifteen dol

After that-silence
Nol-not silence! Let's have the
truth
On salaries Of less than $40 a week a
woman's business usefulness-with her
average reserves OF youth and courage
lasts about three years. After that
the white plague gets her The white
plague is the very child Of the ten-cent

After that-if il isn't the white plague
and friendly death that gets her, it is
something worse-it is something YOU

We Join With Tony" and
Wish the Bride "All the
Good Luck In the World"

Tony" Kloka's sweetheart has wee
another.
Marie Olcewskis name is now Mrs
Raymond Cosgrove.
She said it would be Mrs. Anthony
Kloka.
She told Tony it would after he had
been sentenced to four years imPflson-
ment in the Jackson penitentiary
TONY" has heard the news and COM
n1ents merely: "She said she would be
true to me and wrote ne she would come
to the prison to see me next week. l
am very much disappointed but ! bear
her no Il-will. | wish her all the good
luck in the world.
TONY" has been in politics-much, I'M
doubtedly. to his sorrow.
He has learned the art of losing with
a smile-it is a part of the game that
helped him to prison.
Politics makes philosophers
But TONY" is also charitable and gal
liant.
He is far more charitable and more
gallant than those who have heard about
Marie Olcewski's wedding to another
man, after she promised she would wait
for TONY" and have remarked: THAT'S
A WOMAN FOR YOU"
Here is where we have to forget ro-
nance and the tickle god
Here is where we feel it our duty 70
spring to the side Of woman and defend
her.
1t was no little sacrifice that TONY"
Kloka asked of Marie Olcewsh.
How well had he guarded the name he
asked her TO take?
How faithfully would he, in the light
of everything, have kept his VOWS?
Were the tables turned and had the
girl been the one to go to prison. how
long would Tony" have waited?
Would he have been present at the
trial?
Would he have been there when she
was sentenced to even promise he would
wait?
No. but man is master.
II Is womans part to suffer for the
acts of man.
He is the great-I-am and overload.
And the woman has suffered.
And suffers now for having suffered
The case may prove that it is best to
have their promises fulfilled on the spot,
as much as it does that Marie has simply
exercised woman's privilege.
1t also proves that the world passes
judgment upon woman hastily, and that
it is seldom tempered with mercy.
We join with Tony" Kloka in wishing
the bride all the good luck in the world.

The purser gave information to
Elliot. "They call her Aunt Sheba,
but she's no relative of theirs. The
kids are on their way in to their
father, who is an engineer on one
of the creeks back of Katma. Their
mother died two months ago. Miss
O'Neill met them first aboard the
Skagit on the way up and she has
mothered them ever since"
The eyes of Elliot rested on Miss
O'Neill. She loves children"
She sure does-no bluff about
that" An imp of mischief sparkled
in the eye of the supercargo. Not
married yourself, are you, Mr.. Ell
liiot?"
No"
"Hmp!"
That was all he said but Gordon
felt the blood creep into his face.
This annoyed him, so lie added
brusquely:
And not likely to be-"
When the call for breakfast
came Miss O'Neill took her retinue
of youngsters with her TO the din
ing room. Looking across from his
scat at an adjoining table, Elliot
could see her waiting upon them
wit h fine absorption in their
needs.

lie glanced around, recognized Ell
liot, and made instantly for the seat
across the table from him. On his
face and head were many marks of
the recent battle.
Trade you Il cauliflower ear for
a pair of black eyes, Mr.. Elliot"
he laughed as he shook hands with
the man whose name he had just
learned from the purser.
The grip of his brown, muscular
hand was strong. 1t was IN charac-
ter with the stea1Y, cool eyes set
deep beneath the jutting forehead,
with the confident carriage of the
deep, broad shoulders.
You might throw in several other
little souvenirs to boot and not miss
them" suggested Elliot with a
smile.
Mcdonald nodded indifferently.
81 gave and l took, which was as
it should be. But it's different
with you, Mr.. Elliot. This wasn't
your row."
81 hadn't benn II. a good mix-up
since 1 left college. 1t did me a
lot of good"
Much obliged. anyhow" He
turned his attention to a lady en-
tcring the dining room. 'Mornin',
Mrs. Selfridge. How's Wally?"
She threw up her hands in de-
spair. Hes on his second bottle
of liniment already. I expect those
ruffians have ruined his singing
voice. When 1 think of how close
YOU both came to death last night
II don't know about Wally, but I
had no notion of dying, Mrs. Self

That was ALL"
But they meant to kill you, the

I TOO. Look at Wally-confined to
his bed and speaking in i whisper.

"Oh, if you can 1 hope you will
save it until 1 come back" The
speaker was a slim girl in ram
o'Shanter, and she spoke so eagerly
that the woman who kept the little
shop could hardly refuse the re-
quest.
We'll, if you won't be long she
assented doubtfully.
Il know it's asking great deal
when you have only the two Just
now. but / won't be long, and 1t
means so much whether she wants
the pink or the blue"
The woman nodded and smiled
broadly this time. IF you hurry
il will be all right" she said kindly.
You say she lives near here?'
The girl nodded, and then, not
waiting for anything more, hurried
out. The little shop was one OF
those adorable places where only
the daintiest handmade things can
be bought for newcomers-wee new
comers, who always wear hand
made things if the people who love
them have plenty of money. But,
alas the people who do not possess
so much want the pretty things just
as badly, and suffer a great deal
because it is not possible for them
to have the very best that money
can buy for their babies.
Elsie thought of this as she hur-
ried up the street and up the four
flights of steps into the tiny apart
ment on the top floor.
Ruth" she demanded Of a girl
who was sitting in the sunshine that
| flooded the little room. (which did
you want, the pink or the blue?"
"Why, Elsie, what are you talk
| ing about, child " the other girl said
more calmly.
Don't keep me, dear-you know
what l mean. said I would buy
you something as lovely as the
wealthiest baby in the land could
hope to have, and I've saved up to
do it. Now which set do you want,
the pink or the blue?"
The other girl blushed. 40, the
pink" she said softly. I've decid-
ed to have all pink no matter what"
Elsie did not wait for more, but
hurried once more down the steps
and up the street to the little shop.
She felt qualm of fear as she saw
Miss Beacon herself waiting on a
customer, and her heart contracted
ash she saw both the pink and the
blue baby set lying on the counter.
you may send them BOTH" said
a cold voice evenly.
40, Miss Beacon" interrupted FL
sic softly. you're not going to sell
my set, are you?"
The saleswoman looked nervous.
81 asked about it miss" she said
tentatively. "and Mrs. Titcomb said
not to wait. You see this lady is
buying a great many things"
Elsie turned to the woman quick
ly, but. the aristocratic back was
presented for her view, and that
same icy voice said coldly.
IF you cannot send up my order
complete. you need not send it at

Am I wreck" the big Scots
man wanted to know. Il feel as
husky as a well-fed malamute."
"Oh, you talk. But we all know
you-how brave and strong you are.
That's why this outrage ought to be
punished. What would Alaska do
if anything happened to you?"
II hadn't thought of that" ad-
mitted Macdonald. The North
would have to go out of business,
l suppose. But you're right about
one thing, Mrs. Selfridge. I'm brave
and strong enough at the break
fast table. Steward, will you bring
me a double order of these shirred
eggs-and a small steak?"
well, I'm glad you can still joke,
Mr.. Macdonald, after such a ter
rible experience. All 1 can say is
that l hope Wally isn't permanently
injured" Mrs. Selfridge sighed and
passed to her place.
The eyes of the big man twinllled.
"Our little fracas has been n god

The younger man agreed with a
gravity back of which his amuse-
ment was apparent. The share OF
Selfridge in the battle had been linn.

not been good enough to keep him
