Are People Beetles

The cutting off Of our chief appar-
atus for getting about, our marvellous
rotary machne-legs that enable us to
travel miles instead of yards and faster
than the animals that specialize in run
ming or flying, hits US all hard. 1t
brings up the extraordinary nterweav-
ing of our modern life, the interreation
of a thousand aids and tools and services
which, operating smoothly, we take for
granted and forget the very existence of.
But it also, if we are real humans and
not beetles, brings into play exactly that
capacity for adjustment, for adaptation,
which above all else made the monkey
man triumph over all competitors. If a
strike happened among beetles they
would plough ahead according to habit
and butt their heads to pieces against
the obstacles in the way If we were
beetles we would be huddled in front of
the subway entrances, unable to change
our customs and make a fresh start.
Those of us who are inclined to be
beethsh are disgruntled and sour and
accept our inconvenience without try
ing to avoid them
That is not the normal human way.

Obstrucfionists
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: 1t is common to find in the organs
of the Administration reference to the
opponents of the proposed league of nations
IN the Senate as "obstructionists,' and in
asmuch as these Senators are obstructing the
consummation of the deal made by President
Wilson, "acting in his own name and bv his
own proper authority.' with the representa-
tlVes of foreign potentates and powers, they
may we'll be termed ''obstluctionists
They are obstructionsts in the same sense
were the Minute Men at Concord and
Lexington when they obstructed the passage
OF armed enemy forces through their coun-
try; as was Andrew Jackson when he OBJ
structed the British army al New Orleans;
as was Ulysses S. Grant when he obstructed
the rebels on the Mississippi and the Poto-
mac as was George Dewey when he OBJ
structed the Spanish in Manila Bay. and
as were our brave boys of to-day when
they obstructed the passage of the Germans
on their way to Paris
All honor to the noble "obstructionists''
of the Senate, who are obstructng the rati
ication of the covenant of a league of
nations. May they be as successful in their
efforts as were their immortal predecessors.

Do1untrodden Clerks
To the Editor of The Tribune.

/
Sir: A week or so ago there appeared in
your editorial column an editorial re the
II. C.. of L., in which was mentioned the
fact that the white collared people, or the
office clerks, were the only class that has
not had salaries advanced anywhere near in
proportion to the increase in the cost of
living. This is altogether too true.
| have spoken to many people in this
class recently and there is a decided feeling
of injustice, and dissatisfaction and unrest
are beginning to be noticed. These clerks
are the only large body of workers unor-
ganized, and instead of employers recognizing
this fact and dealing fairly with these peo-
pie, small increases doled out when
asked for individually. But these increases
in the aggregate have not come within so
per cent Of the increase in the cost of living,
yet the clerk is expected to go or dressing
well, eating we'll and living respectfully
Something should be done to bring the
salaries and cost of living closer for these
people Has any any suggestion to
make? Can an organization be formed?
Cannot The Tribune use its influence to
bring about better salaries for this class
of workers? We heartily tired of hear
ing about the poor workingman' at So a
day, forsooth! Let us hear something about
the poor working clerks" at SO or S4 day
Let us hear from some readers of this paper.

Those Cheaper Cuts
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor OF Inc tribune.
Sir l have to-day read an article in your
paper which does not agree with present
retail prices, statement made by Mr..
knoop that people were demanding the best
cuts of meat. | know that the class OF
people whose wages have been so much in
creased have always bought the best cuts
of meat That has not changed But the
situation which intelligent housewives have
now to confront is that the public has become
educated to buy and cook the cheaper cuts
OF meat, and now we find that instead of
being cheaper they are the most expensive
cuts. The demand for these cuts has in
creased. therefore, according to the economic
law Of supply and demand; the price has gone
up but more than the law is responsible for
For instahcc: Round steak seven or eight
years ago, sold for 10 cents, no higher than
20 cents. for best cuts. Porterhouse sold
then from 32 to 40 cents; pot roast and
rib meats, correspondingy Many people
would not think of buying the round. who
because of necessity and patriotic reasons
learned to cook and enjoy it, Now, at the
time when | can buy portcrhouse cuts for 81
10 az cents the round sells for 80 to 50 cents.
How can "sirloin porterhouse appctites"
be to blame for this?
This is also true of other foods Teach
the community to use a cheaper product
and the retailer his chance to advance
the price

The French and Indian Var

The most terrible war in which our coun-
try was ever involved was the worlds war
of 1854, known as the "French and Indian"
"Scvcn Years War; and New York State
then was the site of many great battles.
Considering our country as it was in 1854,
the food question was handled then almost
identcaly with that Of the war Just fin

believe our government had used the meth

There was conservation Of grain and

brewing. Prohibition enforced and all
travel discouraged. The food question was
handled in most mastcry manner.
