Help Vocational students.

To tho Editor Of The Evening World;
May l appeal to employers, en-
pIoyees and other persons controlling
labor, in behalf of the vocational stu
dents training under the direction Of
the Federal Board for Vocationa!
Education? The appeal is not for
aims but for chance T. make good
IN the trades they are being taught.
During the last few weeks | have
seen men Of the Federal Board walk
ing the streets looking for work for
the men (plaCes to complete the
training) and unable to find the
same in most cases 1t should b.
remembered by the employers, EN-
pioyoes and other people controlling
labor that 'the men have to live and
are carried on the pay rolls Of the
Federal Board, which indirectly bears
the expenses of all. However, l be-
lieve that if employers, employees
and labor in general consider that il
II had not been for the sacrifices ana
other hardShipS of the men training
all Of Us would have been shaving for
an enemy, instead of working for our
selves-suCh would not be the case.
The method Of training Is different
from any that has ever been pre-
viously used after war. Where a
man IS disabled and desires to learn
a new trade, which in most cases IS
technical, 1t is necessary to study
subjects not directly connected with
the trade. The students have quite a
lot of hard work in school, and to be
refused the right TO complete the
trade in shops Is very discOuraging
to them. However. 1 believe when
employers and others controlling
labor realize that these men have to
live whether they are working or not.

ease; all will get together and CO.

HALF-TRUTH PROPAGANDA.

1T may be that the marlborough deserves and ought
to have higher fares. If so, the concern has
chosen the worst possible method Of proving the
case.
A bright wag once remarked on the three degrees
Of deception, "lies, d--n lies and statistics 10
these the marlborough has added fourth the super
ative use Of half-truhS in the Subway Sun and
companion propaganda sheets.
Because of the efficient obstinacy of Mr. Mtten,
the Philadelphia traction situation has been thorn
in the side of the hgherfare propagandss and their
lNckers, the nterlocking interests Of the traction
financing groups.
When finally the fare was changed in Philadelphia
ths fare boosters Immediately proclaimed 1t a
triumph for their cause and precedent for similar
changes everywhere The fact of the change was
widely advertised. The manner in which the change
was made was carefully suppressed.
This was the superative deception Of the half
Truth which the propagandistS hoped to perpetrate
But it has the familiar weakness of most propaganda
When the other side is exposed as The Evening
Worlds correspondent, Martin Green, is exposing
the Philadelphia SITUATION the natural effect is a
reaction and suspicion of even "whoe-truh' state
meIsts in the future.
To this campaign of half-trWhs is added the I'M
dguifed whine of higher officials Of the subway who
indulge in "cry-baby" pleas for favored treatment
by The unfavored straphangers
If the InteFborough has a good case, why does it
not present facts and figures in straightforward
manner? Why does it not make busineSS-like and
honest statement of verifiable figures that cover the
whole controversy? Why is there not confession
Of past sins of overcapalization and secured prom
bes of something different and better in the future?
Why do we not have detailed statements of costs,
expenses and charges on the various properties?
Until the marlborough changes its publicity policy
and tries 'the TRUTH the whole truth and nothing but
the truth'-for a change-the public may we'll be
wary OF any and all Interborough propaganda

Before he had completed his Ar

It's priceless contents rank high among the great

A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.

MYTH the exception of the Arny-Navy struggle
w at the Polo Grounds next Saturday, the
1920 football season is virtually at an end.
Saturday was the big day of the year. Perfect
football weather" helped to make it great day in
national sport, 4 fitting climax to an exceptional
season.
Fast and West, North and South, the story was
the same, CollegianS, alumni and the football fans
gathered for the "bg games of the year. And what
IN outpouring there was! The great Yale Bowl was
packed with 10000, and crowds everywhere set new
records of attendance ana enthusiasm
The fact is that football is gaining in popularity
year by year Football is no longer merely "aca-
demic," The general public with no particular col
lege ties is warming to the game.
Open play under the new rules and the numbering
OF players have INDICATED their advocates and popu-
larized the game beyond the fondest dreams of the
old line pungerS who reckoned in terms of one yard
and two feet to the down and may the most
beef win
Football is no longer an intensified form OF pugi-
ism. It now has the merits of both game and a
spectacle. These merits the American people are
coming to appreciate in increasing measure

TAKING L LOSSES.

In 1hc accounts OF the transactions
in the great speculative markets we
often read ut traders taking their
profits while they car get them. and
then Starting ali over again. and tax
;nS Their loss-s through tho liquida-
ton Of deals. clearing The decks. and
again making Il fres.l start.
This is Il mo when losses must
be taken. The business Of the coun-
try must move. People cannot stand
forever sucking their thumbs waiting
Tor something to happen. There is
work to be done. and the country is
suffering Z have it DONE. There is
need FOR every pound, n yard. and
bushel OF stuff that all the hands in
America can produce. There is no
good rcason why there should be an
idle factory or an idle man in the
country.
li.e suggestion that has been made
with reference to this state is that
farmers who are holding wheat sell
approximately 20 per cent of 1t in or
der to pay pressing bills. 1t is the
business OF nobody but the farmcr
whether nc sells his wheat or not.
But the movement OF money through
tho ordinary channels OF trade does
concern everybody. And the situa-
ton IN the northwest is that the
farmers bills, which constitute the

That being the case, it is ~reasonabl

SUIT in the payment Of an appreciable
part Of the indebtedness, and the re-
lief VI the whole situation to just
that aalsll; .,... hat this will result
in loss in some cases is ~indisput;.bie.
1t cannot b: helped. And there are
situations in which the sooner a loss
is taken the smaller it will be, and
the sooner the loser will be on the
way to better times.
Losses must be taken in every line.
The retailer must price his goods
so as to make them move. Otherwise
they will continue to clutter up his
( sht Ives, and VIII stand in the way Of
his further purchases. The whole
sa!GI and the manufacturer must take
their Losses as they go. and must be
prepared. largely to ignore the orig
iEal cost OF their wares.
The whole country must accept the
necessity OF doing business, not on
tho basis of what things have cost,
but on what they are going to cost.
Adjustment on his basis will diminish
personal incomes. 1t Will eat INTO
corporation dividends. But it is the
only thing that will get us down to
real business and make things move.
