I'll NOC PAY 1T"

The answer to the high-cost- of
living problem, according to a mar
ket and financial expert writing in
a Chicago paper is. I'Il not pay
it," He says it would work hardship
on the merchant who has laid in a
big stock of goods, but he also
says that people fix the prices any
way. and they can lower them by
refusing to buy at what seems to be
exorbitant prices.
If no one would pay SIS for
shoes. there would be no S15 shoes.
If women would refuse to buy SIS
for hose no merchant would be ask
ing S. for them. 1t all seems sim
pie enough. but how can a woman
say. II won't pay it, for bacon
and bread, when she has children
and hungry husband back at
the house waiting the call to eat?
So the expert is only partially cor
rect in his argument.
1t may not be generally known.
though we think most people real
ize that the merchants are doing all
they can to lower prices. They re-
fuse to buy heavily at prevailing
prices. They are telling the whole
saler that they are not going to buy
his expensive stuff a minute longer
than they have to- They are dis
counting bills, where possible. to
give their customers the benefit of
the saving. But their hands are
tied and few Of them are making
the money now that they made be-
fore the people were tempted to
turn away from the counter with
that Il won't pay It" protest.

One Western city has tackled

Pupils in the schools of that city
bring home their report cards to
their parents. and on this card is
"Citizeuship," with the marking Of

Nothing new about that?
Wait a minute: This Citizen

what the pupil was during the

In this CITY citizenship in the
schools means department. atten-
ton, courtesy. politeness. diligence;
manners. not methods.
An unruly man is not a good cit
izen; a perverse child might be let
ter perfect in American history and
be a miserable young American.
So citizenship in that city means
what you are, rather than what you
say You are.

When family move into a neigh.
borhood and get acquainted with
others who live in the same block.
they become booetsss for their street
and tell their friends it's a fine place
to live.
1t works out about the same way
in cities. The more citizens know
about their city the better they like
it-they do more boosting and less
knocking. For this reason the cities
of the country that are undertaking
to tell their citizens about the place
where they work and -liyesare doing
q highly constructive work.
Kansas City led the wsy in this
endeavor. Cleveland
and Chicago are following up the
idea.
Every man ought TO be booster
for his own town. When he knocks
the town he knocks himself. for he
is helping as much AZ anyone else
to make it what it isaood or bad.

Memorial Cottages.

The number of lives the war took
has not been adequately reckoned. The
number of families it broke up Is like
wise mcounted. Yet right after 1t we
have a greater shortage of housing
than ever. There is interest in this
connection in a letter TO the London
Spectator, evidently from one OF the
sufferers of the war. 1t contains sug-
gestion which may or may not be new
in this country.
The writer calls attention to an
article in the London Chronicle tell
ing of the building of 120 cottages for
ex-service men in Westmoreland,
called war memorial cottages. 1t is
not clear to him whether these were
built by public or private funds, but
never mind that. would it be pos
slble," he asks, 'fOr individuals to do
likewise? What more practical me-
mortal of any fallen hero than to pro-
vide a home for a disabled soldier or
sailor or for his widow and children
Though our war widows and or
phans and our disabled soldiers are
few compared with the losses of Great
Britain, we have need enough for more
houses, and the memorial cottage idea
is not bad one.

AS matter of fact, there probably
are highly paid chefs today who feel
just that way about 1t.
The situation was getting 10 the
point where there was no place for
the women in the working world to
go but out. There are even some ex-
tremists who believe that the care OK
children should be taken out of the
home and away from the mothers
hands.

"She developed as a dollhouse plant,

How She Knew.

A Hoosier school teacher received a
very indignant note from one of her
patrons, demanding that she stop some
boys from annoying her tiny daughter
on the way home from school. Imme-
diately after she had read the note
the teacher began an investigation.
She asked the little girl, How do
these boys annoy your
"Why, they talk awful about me and
to me-" explained the ,youngster.
'They cuss me and say terrible
things"
"But how do you know they are
cursing and the things are really ter

Even she was stunned by the wee
child's answer. Because" she rea-
soned, "they are just like the things

have seen In our great war the way in
which men and women naturally lined
up on the primitive basis. The men
of the nations, in this country, Eng

the news that women were working

perhaps, If we had all remembered a
little more of our pre-history."
Miss Laughlin reminds us that In
his account Of primitive races the late
Otis 4. Mason. curator of ethnology
In the United States National Museum.
points out some of the industries which
began as woman's work. He says:
"The slain deer lying before her cave

"With this knife she carefully re-

'She rolls up the hide. then dresses

"From leather especially prepared
