Not all of the medals awarded by me Germans and AUstrians during the recent war were conferred for bravery in facing the famous 75's.
 One of the American Relief Ad- nlnistration investigation missions recently made a tour through the coal mining towns in Austria. As they were chatting with miner one afternoon in an effort to ascertain how badly reserves of American food were needed in that particular region, one of them caught a glimpse of two barrels filled with gIittering objects standing nearby. Surreptitiously he strolled over, stuck his hand into the barrel, and drew out q handful of sold-plated crosses. When he had time to study the ornaments care fully, he discovered that each one bore the inscriptions:

The announcement of Attorney General
Palmer that the government will exercise due
caution in forcing the sale of foodstuffs so that
no injustice will be done should meet with the
hearty approval of the people. There is diff
ference between food boarding and food stor-
age.
Food that has been stored, simply, for the
purpose of driving up it's price should be released
at once but foodstuffs that have been accumu-
lated to feed US next winter should be held for
that purpose. 1t takes little mental effort to
understand the wisdom in the decision of the
attorney general
Almost every housewife stores food Vege.
tables and fruits that have been canned for win
ter consumption can be described as stored food
It would be folly to condemn housewives for lay
ing in supplies of potatoes and vegetables in the
summer months. And so also would be criti.
cism against a legitimate storing of canned foods
in large quantities by concerns who make it q
business to supply the country with food
If the storage plants were stripped of thei,
contents now, because public agitation demands
it, many of us would certainly starve next win
ter. An accumulation of food for use in winter
months is a normal procedure. In fact, one diff
ference between civilized man and savage is
the practice of the former to store food agains
the season when it cannot be obtained. We can
not exist without storage plants.
The authorities are not worrying about lie

College Education

Not only the high school boy but also the
college student may be wondering whether he
should resume his educational pursuits this fall.
High wages and the pleasures and luxuries they
buy may tempt the college lad from returning
to his books.
. Against all the siren calls of high wages, the
college student should turn deaf ear A college
education has been an asset at all times it will
be greater asset in the years to come.
Competition of brains will be greater in the
next decades than they were in the past. Wealthy
men are not endowing colleges and universities
to crafty whim fancy, but because they be-
lieve intellectually trained men and women are
essentially necessary in democracy. The youth
who spurns college education is doing himself
an irreparable injury, from which he will never
recover. knowledge is power, says an old max

Many of the great men of our republic OBJ
tanned their collegiate training by the hardest
kind of self-denal. They had no easy road from
the freshman year to their diploma. But they
trod that road fully convinced that it would lead
10 ultimate success. How foolish to spurn an
education that is yours almost for the asking.
If they made heroic sacrifices and practiced self
denials Of the most rigorous kind to attain mental
discipline, why should youth of today, who has
every chance imaginable to obtain this training
with hardly any self-denal, rob himself of the
privilege?
Reports from many institutions indicate that
thousands Of young men and women realize the
Importance of sharpening their intellects and

Steel Workers Call for More Production

Increased production and not wage increases
is the true solution of the cost of living problem,
according to the elected representatives of the
Midvale Steel and Ordnance company, who adopt
ed the following resolution at a meeting in At,
lantic City:
Whereas, the high cost of living needs to be
abated by dgent, efficient and conscientious
labor by thrift and by avoidance of waste and ex-
travagance;
And whereas the price of commodities is reg
uated by the days labor of man and the real
unit of value or the unit of compensation is not
dollar but the purchasing price of dollar, and
that the price of all things, meaning the average
price of everything we use and consume, which
is commonly referred to as the average price OF
commodities is fixed, regulated, raised low
cred by the average compensation received fol
one hours work by every man and every woman
And whereas, we believe the only sure rem
edy for the high cost of living is increased pro

demands a greater proportionate return for his
labor than his fellow workmen in other lines are
getting is as guilty Of profiteering grocer
who charges exorbitant prices for the necessi-
ties of life, and that increases in wages paid to
certain classes Of workers by the government or
others will result in higher prices being set by
the profiteers for the necessities of living to all
purchasers alike;
It is, therefore, resolved: That the persistent
and unceasng demand Of workmen employed in
all classes and kinds of industries for a shorter
days work and an increased wage in order to
meet the present high cost of living is unecon-
omic and unwise and should not be encouraged.
Resolved further: That private monopolies
should be controlled and profits restricted to q
rate that shall be fair to the consumer.
Resolved further: That unnecessary exports
of food and clothing be restricted and that all
stores of boarded supplies be uncovered and
placed in the open market.
Resolved further: That copies of this resolu-
ton be forwarded to the president of the United
States, to the senators in congress from Pennsyl-
vania and to the congressman of the various dis
tricts in which are located the various plants of
the Midvale Steel and Ordnance Company, and
to the state and municipal authorities to the end
that they may by all the powers and means to
them available, endeavor to bring about normal
conditions, with special privileges to none but
Justice to all, and sure and swift retrbution for
those who may attempt to profiteer in the neces-
sites of life.
