Bob. Tip & Company who are ap-
pearing at The Garrick Theatre this
week, are proving an Interesting attrac-
ton. Tip is a dog and he is quite
as much part OF the act as the man or
woman, who are the other members
OF the comTsny. Tip appears 10 enjoy
the novelty OF entertaining the public.
for he seems to appreciate the applause.
Tip can do a lot OF things other dogs
don't do. For instance, he can balance
himself on a slack wire while standing
on the two hind feet, and his singing
is feature OF the act. The whole com.
pany is good and they give a decidedly

mental question; Do they result in
making better men and better goods
To the extent that they do. they will
be accepted; to the extent that they
do not, they will be cast aside as wild
oats.
But the important question before us
today Is. how we can keep the Wild
oats sOwn down TO a minimum 1
agree with most employers that we
should do everything pOss Bile TO pre-
vent more than necessary being s0wn.
Being the father OF an adolescent
child. ! seriously disagree with many
employers as TO the best means Of pre-
venting the sowing OF these wild oais.
We fathers who have children from
"a to IS years OF age know that lee
turing, scolding, and threatening do
little good
There are only two ways Of reaching
such children either through appealing
10 their hearts or else by letting them
learn from experience. / believe that
tn labor problem can be solved only
by the same two methods.
Employers must get acquainted with
their employees and employees must get
acquainted with their employers. Each
must learn that the other is a human
being and has a heart which IS actu-
ated by the same motives OF love or
hate. hope or fear. sympathy or ieal-
0usy. Both groups are actuated by their
feelings rather than by their reason
and each group can now reach The
other only through the heart.

Labor has reached the point where It
wants TO put on long pants. We always
hate TO see our boys reach this stage
as we know 1t Is the beginning OF the
end However we have no right to re-
fuse them. We have all grown up our
selves and must be willing to have
them grow up also.
The only difference is that in the
case Of the present labor difficulty the
group wants TO put on long pants ali
together and all at once instead Of do
ing It Individually one at time. How
ever, am Sure that all thoughtful EN-
ployers concede labor this right.
Putting on long pants is unfortunate
ly usually accompanied by the sowing
OF some wild oats. Although labor Is
Justified in putting on long pants. II
Is not Justified in sowing Wild Oats 1t
Is the duty Of the Government and the
community TO keep to minimum the
wild oats sOwn The employers are
right in their efforts along these lines
and all people Interested in the welfare
Of the community as a whole should
back up the employers In their efforts.
The cost Of living will never be re-
duced by the sowing Of Wild oats on
the part of any group.
The cost of living can be reduced
only by increasing production. II there
was noth'ng produced there would be
nothing TO divide. Labor organizations,
employers organizations collective bar
