For the Good of
 the Community

ITO the indifferent citizen who lets the other fellow do all of the work of
 community interest the following item, taken from a publication of the American City Bureau is commended, not for what it says but as an illustration of the attention city activities attract.
 It shows that news of civic activities spread over the country attract the atten- tion of men who are doing things in other, communities and finds it's way into pub- lications through which it reaches large audiences The article has special refer ence to the Chamber of Commerce and it's activities. It says
 "Reorganized in May and June, 1919, the Birmingham Chamber of Com rnerce conceived that it's first important task for the advancement of Birmingham, was promotion of proposed bond issues amounting to S4, 300, 900, for new schools, an auditorium which would be War Me morial, new city hall and public library and fire stations and equipment; also, the adoption of a three-mill district school tax to support adequately the existing and proposed schools.
 Opinion on. the merits of these projects was divided. While it was gen. erallythought one or more of the six sep- crate questions would command major ity of the popular vote, there was feeling of much doubt regarding others The War Memorial was the most popular of the projects. This had been originated by the Chamber of Commerce. which prom ised to conduct popular campaign for not less than S25O,O0 to be added to the amount the city should grant from the bond issue.
 Tn July the Chamber of Commerce invited and was assured of hearty CO., operation of the various other civic and business mems organizations in cam paign of education in behalf of the bond is- sues. The campaign was made in August, being handled and financed entirely by the Chamber of Commerce
 'sOn election day the people ap- proved of all the bond issues by majorities ranging from two to one to six to one.''
 Thus does the news of Birmingham's progressive step go abroad. The item quoted has been, or will be, read by sev- eral hundred thousand business men and industrial leaders throughout the nation. They will understand that Birmingham is not content with what she has, but wants ClIC OCOo VI OVOIy CIllllS, S1llO IS .W1lllIlX to pay the bill.
 It tells the world that Birmingham wants more and better schools, ample fire protection; place where the citizens can get together and discuss their problems; of reading and reference facilities avail able to all; that Birmingham wants more and better streets, and all the other things that go to make better and happy com munity

There is little danger that you will overwOrk. The
of overwork that hardly necessary counsel people
against OVERRIDING.
Still there limits beyond which effort is unwise.
A time when a mans faculties luled by the
task he is doing and when is far wiser stop all work
and allow the tissues to build up before tacng
afresh.
Any brain worker who has toled long at night knows
that pays stop before he is too tired and go the
job whcl the morning brings clearer thinking power.
In everything that you do set yourself a limit.
Make the limit high. Say Il will do just much
of this to-day fixing the amount at considerably
than you to do you start.
When you have reached that limit quit Rest play
sleep. Dismiss the work you doing from your mind.
Don't thilk of it at all.
The day go back to it, fixing a still higher limit
You will find that you do given task the
longer you keep at it.
But you find that is hard to concen-
trae your attention, stop.
Fatigue you know forms poisons in the tissues and
the poisons if permitted to form without elimination will
bring sickness and final breakdown.
By working hard while you work. by concentrating all
your energies to the job in hand you can accomplish
great dealvasty than you have been accomplishing
in the past.
But be content with reasonable amount of effort,
remembering that reasonable amount of effort usually
more than you think you ought to do.
And while you working work. Loafnp in the
middle of job breaks continuity of thought and without
is difficult.
Set your limit and stick it, but set high limit
always.

AS a Woman Sees 1t
By Sophie irene Loeb

TT is most refreshing indeed to find a
landlord seeking tenants on the
stipulation that they must be OF.
good character and must have chill
dren."
Daniel w. Blumenthal, a lawyer,
offers his property of seven city blocks
in Long Island as a nucleus for tent
city, claiming that 100000 families
could be housed in his section, If prop
erty owners would be willing to offer
their property as he does.
This landlord made this offer after
visiting the poverty stricken sections
and seeing how "the other half lives
during the sweltering season.
He pointed out that thousands OF
families in the West live in tents all
summer, and that many people who
are owners OF automobiles live in tents
while travelling through the country.
While his offer may be only tenn
porary summer proposition, yet 1t Is a
healthy sign, coming from landlord.
The day Is not far distant when tO
statute books will contain laws that
will not permit the familiar placard
! children or dogs not allowed here
| Housing has already been declared a
business clothed with public use, and
therefore, to be regulated.
Legislators are beginning to think
more in terms OF humanity rather than
Of property.

"A express workers. The raise was deserved
and the expreSsmen have waited with commendable
patience for the orderly consideration of their claims
OF course, the public must foot the bill in the
form of Increased express rates.
Like the railroads, the express companies have
applied for increased income to cover not only the
wage increase but other operation expenses The
total asked for exceeds Sioo,ooo,ooo.
This claim the Interstate Commerce Commission
Should examine with great care.
The American Railway Express Company is on
somewhat different basis from the railroads
During the war the three principal competing COM
panies were unified and operated under Govern
ment control and guarantee. Although the express
business was early returned to private ownership
and operation, the monopolistc organization eff
fecled for The war period has been retained. There
is no longer competition in the express field.
In theory, unified operation should result In ma
tedal savings in overhead expense and consequent
lessenng in the rates required 10 pay fair returns
on investment.
The. commission should make sure that these
theoretical savings materiaze of the balance sheet
and so favor the shipper and consumer who are de-
pfiyed Of the benefits Of competition.

TT is hardly to be expected that early August
openings in the theatres will be up to the stand
ard of later offerings. But judging from the almost
unanimous opinions of the critics, several of the
recent presentations have been anything but credit
able either to managers players or audiences.
Gazing up of the bedroom motif has been
the predominant note, and this without the extenu-
alton of ceverness and wit II is the sort of thing
which ought to intensity the WEAKNESS d the Tired
Business Man.
If New York wants this kind OF entertainment in
its theatres and if the police do not interfere we
shall have more of the same
II would be better by far to pass up the frankly

NEW STANDARD.

Il rankin D. ROOSEVELT spoke without
4 partsanship and to all the people when he
expounded the need for "unselfish service" with a
"breadth Of view" -
Unselfish servants in Congress would not, he
said, consider the obtaining of appropriations for
their own localities as Of more weight than the
welfare of the United States as a whole"
Every one will agree to this, but how many will
grasp the implicadonl The obligation of "un-
selfish service" does not end with The Congress
man. II extends to the voters who elect the Con-
gressmen.
In other days when the Treasury was overflow
ing it was easy to regard as good" Congressman
one who contrived to gain his full quota OF appro-
priaons--post offices, army posts and navy yards.
Now Il is all changed. The Treasury is empty.
The country is in debt The debt bears on every
taxpayer What is Squandered in one district is
paid for by that district and by every other.
The "good" Congressman now is not the one
who goes log-roIling for a million dollar improve
ment when 100000 would suffice.
The good" Congressman is the one who makes
every dollar of appropriation do the work of 100
cents. He must spend the Governments money
as though the Government were corporation OF
which he was director
If we are to have these good" Congressman,
the voters must support them. They must learn
to oppose the man who angles for an extravagant
appropriation for his own district. Voters must
vote against these wasters instead Of for them.
To localize the matter. New York needs new
Post Office It should be built, but it should not
cost dollar more than necessary. Until our debts
are paid we must learn to do without the fancy
gimcracks and the unnecessary rich interior finish.
Vote against New York Congressman who insists
on all the trimmings.
Again, Chicago may favor ship canal to the
sea- This might be good thing for the country as
a whole but not favorable to New York COM
merce Voters, as well as Congressman, must look
at the whole question, not merely the New York
angle Otherwise Chicago Congressman will re-
taIiate.
II is big job. The country must be educated
10 the new standard for measuring Congressman
not as bargaining agents of localities but as di-
rectors of the business of the United States.
