Argentina's Labor Troubles.

There has been a recurrence OF
labor disturbances in Argentina which
threaten to delay the return Of nor
NAL business conditions. Rarely Is
Argentina without strike of some
hind. Fortunately most Of these dis
putes have been of comparatively lit
tie Importance and serious troubles
have usually been confined to Buenos
During recent months, however. radi-
cal doctrines appear to have been so
assiduously preached that social un-
rest has penetrated into distant rural
sections Of the republic.
From the extreme southern region
Of Patagonia reports have been re-
oelved Of new strike menace. Out
law ranch workers have banded to-
gether in the Territory OF Santa Cruz
and have overpowered the authorities.
II Is feared the ports of San Julian,
Santa Cruz and Puerto Gnllegos have
fallen to these disturbers, who appear
20 rank somewhere between strikers
and bandits. Many ranches have been
looted by them.
Santa Cruz Territory Is one OF the
great wool growing regions No rail
road has been built so far south
The inhabitants depend on infre
quent steamship service and stage,
for communication with the out
side world. The important volume oi
trade. much Of which Is carried or
through the Chilean port of Punt'
Arenas, is controlled by a few larg,
corporations. which buy heavily II

be suffered IL the bandits are no

Why Can't Hero Stay Hero =?

The hearts and imaginations of this
continent were moved by the incident
of the lost Navy balloons crew. Their
disappea was the cause of gloom
and the news that they were alive
was hailed everywhere with joy. They
were, for the moment. heroes.
For the moment, we say, because,
regrettable as ii Is to write. the saved
men have blotted out the glamour Of
their adventure by display of petty
jealousy, vanity and i'll temper. 1t
has been the outstanding feature Of
their return from the snowy wastes.
These men are Navy men. but they
have not shown the spirit Of the Navy.
One pens letter rejecting on the
fortitude of companion. Another
writes home that his own praises
will be sung: that he is getting credit
for pulling the party through" One
forgets his Navy uniform and In a
gust Of passion acts as If he were in
a barroom brawl
We are not forgetting that wilder
ness hardship has au evil effect upon
the attitude of men toward their
companions. There is a tendency to
revert to the primitive. But If men
of the Navy can spend months in the
polar regiona without open displays
of meannens surely there Is no reason
why the three Navy Lieutenants should
not have borne with one anothers
weaknesses as officers and gentlemen
ought to have done.
1t has been common talk that the
Navy has been breaking down. Evi-
dently there is bad discipline the fact
that this balloon was permitted TO
sail from Rockaway unprepared for
the possibilities Of q winter trip seems
TO be proof of official slackness. But
nobody supposed that the disintegra-
ton extended TO the individual. And
even now we cannot believe that the
unpleasant exhibitions In Canada are
typical of Navy men.
The fact remains that the rescued
balloonists, who should have divided
their talk between thanking Provi-
dence and praising one another, have
not been true Navy men. They have
made the public wish that a man.
when he has chance to be hero.
would take 1t and act in the tradi-
tional manner of hero.

Menus and Color Schemes.

In lecture on menu making before
the members Of the New England
Home Economics ASS ociation In Bos-
ton the other day member Of the
STAFF Of the New York Ter chers College
pointed out to her audience that col
ors contribute character to meal,
and added that hues which clash
should be avoided as they mar re-
past. To illustrate her point the
speaker described meal of ham and
beets as one in which the color effect
would be all wrong.
To recall characteristic combinations
Of food is to be reminded Of the fact
that color harmonies on the table are
accepted as matter Of course An
audience Of New England folk might
have reminded this particular lecturer
that baked beans and brown bread, in
separable combination in that land,
are what WHISTLER might have called
symphony In brown. GILBERT once
used the color Of cold gravy to point
an aesthetic satire, but an artist would
find In Its cool gray tone combined
with the rosy tint of underdone lamb
fine and artistic combination.
Dinner menus suggest a whole train
Of such color combinations necessary
for the perfect meal. The hors

sidered Cubistic II 1t were not SEN

self in It's delicate pink tint. The en-
suing salmon and cucumbers are the
perfect combination of red and green.
The solid notes OF color are to be
found In the golden brown and flesh
white of slice Of roast turkey with
its accompanying ruby cranberries.
Salad repeats the pale green and yell
low notes; Ice cream comes in all
sorts OF fascinating colors; and the
menu ends with the Arm brown tones
Of the coffee and cigars
When professional and amateur
cooks who take their art seriously
suddenly discover that they have been
painters as well as practitioners OF
the culinary art they will recall the
character of MoLIERE who found he
had been speaking prose all his life
without knowing II. Let us hope this
discovery will do nothing to weaken
their skill as culinary colorists but
rather tend to embolden them to at.
tempt new and even more delectable
combinations OF food and color.

Governor Miller's Early Saving

The new economy adminiStra ton
under Governor MILLER Is not merely
preaching; IT is practising Right
here in this town it is already saving
money.
The office Of the State Superinten-
dent Of Elections is stuffed with men
whose chief labor has been to draw
their salaries. Pending the scrapping
Of the useless bureau and the abolish
ment of the needless payrolls thirty
members of that force are now trans
ferred to the New York city automo-
bile tax bureau still under the Sec
retary of State, where they will help
out in the first Of the year rush for
motor car licenses.
This emergency shift not only will
get some work for some days out of
otherwise idle salary drawers In one
bureau but will obviate the necessity
Of spending several thousand dollars
to hire extra help for the temporary
peak load In another bureau. When
the whole force Of the Superintendent
Of Elections disappears altogether, az
the Governor proposes, and the tax
work of the automobile bureau goes
where it belongs, to one consolidated
tax agency. there will be still more
saving and still better public service.
1t is easy to save Government
squander when you say you are go
ing 10 and mean what you say, as
Governor MILLER does say it and
mean it.

of which there are comparatively few.
There Is, too. an insufficient supply
of braces and appliances to effect a
complete cure. Again, in many cases
the responsibility rests not with the
institution but with parents or guar
dians who do not continue treat
ment begun at clinic.
The class rooms in the public schools
are often i'll adapted to their pur-
pose. The question Of vocational
training as 1t affects these children
Is not yet settled by the Department
of Education, although much more has
been accomplished in the training of
crippled girls than crippled boys. Shy
ness and backwardness are often fac
tors in the non-attendance of these
young people at school. Another OBJ
stacle In securing attendance at schools
and clinics is the lack of sufficient
means Of transportation. In fact, it
appears that both public institutions
and private organizations have sue
ceeded only partly In their undertak-
Ing to relieve the necessities of these
persons so seriously handicapped in
their struggle for an existence.
The problem of the cripple is not so
great as other similar problems; it
requires no such outlay Of funds and
the agencies for its solution are al
ready in existence. Besides, 1t pre-
sents an unusual opportunity for trans
forming many helpless sufferers from
dependents into self-supporting, use
full citizens.

Rest on the Seventh Day.
Protest Against Blue Laws by an
Admirer of an Old Custom.

To THE New York HERALD: To those
who were brought UP under the strict
customs of past generation and
throughout long lives have seen the
blessings that flow from respecting the
Sabbath 1t is saddening to see efforts
which should be kindly and persuasive
degenerate into determination to reg
Mate conduct of individuals and the
puhlic in a manner to make the Sab
bath a hated day.
A restful Sabbath is a great promoter
Of good health. long life and domestic
tranquility. Too much cannot be said
in its favor. The old stanza.
A Sabbath well spent brings week Of con-
tent
And rest for the work OF the morrow.
But a Sabbath profaned brings trouble and
shame
And is a sure forerunner OF sorrow.
not only expresses the Biblical meaning
but seems. as many have found. to be
literally true.
The old fashioned home. remembered
by many and initiated by some, where
the command to remember the Sab
bath" was obeyed. was beautiful In Its
peace and order. The six days OF labor
we're arranged according to system
that made possible the seventh as a day
of rest.
Early in the week the washing and
ironing we're rushed that mending and
repairing might be finished betimes
Then came the weekly house cleaning
followed by a Saturday of generous
cooking and baking. Sunday found an
orderly home. free from ordinary do
mestio duties. restful for all beneath
its roof.
To win people to observe and respect
the Sabbath Of their own choice and
voiltion as sure means OF promoting
their own welfare Is worthy object
for Christian effort But all sane. In
telligent persons know that the millen-
MUM cannot be thrust upon us by leg.

Tariff Legislation.
Import Duties and the Depreciation
Of Foreign Exchange.

To THE New YORK HERALD: You
criticised the Fordney emergency tariff
for its alleged shortcomings and incon-
sistencies, but are nevertheless anxious
to help the farmer by every safe and
sane means.
You stress the Importance of "the
financing of export manufacturers 10
maintain the purchasing power OF Ameri-
can wage earners consuming American
crops" but you have nothing TO say
bout the destruction Of the purchasing
power Of American wage earners
through the threatened inundation OF
the home market by imports OF mana-
factures at low prices.
It would be Illuminating II you would
hunt up the figures and show the total
value Of our domestic manufactures and
the total value of manufactures ex-
ported in the last year. These figures
would show conclusively from which
end Of the business the farmer derives
the greater benefit. "the wage earners
consuming American crops who are
employed on manufactures Tor the
home market or "the wage earners
consuming American crops" who were
employed on the manufactures which
were exported.
Unless there be very prompt leg1sla-
t!on by the Congress to neutralize the
depreciation in foreign exchanse-for
be 1t known, import duties are collected
by executive order on the deprecated
foreign values and not on the par oil
exchange on which present import du-
ties were based in the Underwood tarin
and. in addition. adequate duties laid
on imports. the present unemployment

Soviet Rule by Starvation.

Nobody, whether English conserva-
tive, American Journalist or refugee
aristocrat Of the late Cars imperial
circle, has painted Russian Sovietism
in blacker colors than 1t Is painted
by former supporter Of the Trotzky
and Lenine despotism. The story in
brief of ScHwARrz. the San Fran
cisco Socialist, is that when he re-
turned to Russia with his wife they
had their eyes opened to the fallacy
of their theories by the bitterness Of
experience.
What welcomed them was not the
rule Of Justice and humanity but a
reign Of terror by persecution, i'm
prisonment and execution without
trial. Communism in Russia, now
declares the Socialist, is robberism.
"It has brought Russia starvation,
disease and DEATH"
SCHWARTZ and his wife were cast
into dungeons not because they were
not sound In the doctrine of Soviet
ism. They were. They had preached
it the world over They had braved
personal danger for II. They had
made sacrifices out of their purse for
it. But when they went to Russia
to bathe in the glories OF the better
days and better deeds than SCHWARTZ
x,royio,,slv hod lronx.,,, fr, txuorfv voo re
Of life under the hated autocracy Of
Czarism they were lost Their pock-
cts were rified, they themselves were
imprisoned and starved, because, hor-
rified by what they beheld the So
vietism of LENINE and TRoTzKY really
to be, they refused to give certif1-
cate of character to such supreme and
merciless tyranny.
Mrs. ScHwARTz Is dead from what
she suffered behind the prison bars
Of Sovietism. SCHWARTZ is on his
way back to America to "tell the
working people the truth about the
Soviet Government" And this truth,
as Captain McCUILAGH. the able,
thorough and dauntless correspondent
Of The New YORK HERALD, has been
setting forth In his numerous articles
in this paper. Is that the iron rule of
LENINE and TRorzKy is founded upon
their absolute control of the nations
food supply--their cruel power to
starve all Russian humanity into SER
vile submission. SCHWARTZ says:
II soon found that the crowds
Twaving red flags and shouting for
the Soviet Government had to shout
or their food rations would be re-
duced or entirely taken away"
There is no money. there is no sup
plication, there is no agony of flesh,
there is no fear Of GoD that can put
an ounce Of food into any mouth that
has dared to question the DEGREES and
the acts of the brutal and bloody mas
ters Of Soviet Russia.

he was thoroughly in earnest In his
effacement OF himself and in his sym
pathy with the different composers
