In crowded block of tenernents

In a crowded block of tenenents
in New l---, .y- instance, there
will be fIo1 cu2 thousand to ten
thousand people. without ever go
ing out OF that block-and hundreds
of those people never do-a tenant
in one of the rokeries is part of a
continuous drama Of throbbing life
Life is intense, dramatic, colorful
vivid. It's ever changing and ever
new. And in spite of the oyercrowd-
ing, the underpaying, We dirt, dis
ease and CRIME and dire poverty,
the tone Of it all is gay. Don't for

life is transported to the devastated
loneliness of a farm or tiny ham
let 1t is miserable, that it pines for
starvation and company, that it fair
ly withers up without the tonic OF
human contact. What is a filled
stomach and warmly clothed body
and clean bed if you're lonely?
What are you going to do about
it, then? Take the city to the
land,
With the development of the az.
tomobile and the truck there is nc
longer any need for dinky, drab
country towns. Nor is there need
for the isolation of farms.
Take a community OF five thou
sand people right out of the tene-
ments of New York; organize that
community under the direction OF
able agricultural experts; plant it
in the center of a great farming
area; and you would make that land
to blossom as the rose While the
people of the community enjoyed
nearly all the human society and
the color and excitement Of throng
ing life that characterizes the city!
Every morning from that little
city the motor trucks could take
their laborers to the farm lands
within a radius of 25 miles. Every
evening those trucks could bring
them back.
City people commute from the
farms; why shouldn't farm people
commute from the city?
Such community could farm on
great cooperative scientiis scale
that would make our present meth
DDS look antediluvian. 1t could own
tractors, threshers, binders, gang
plows, ard machinery of every
sort--run its own elevators, its own
cattle yards, its own canniers.
With plenty of capital and prop
er handling, this sort of enterprise
would succeed financially, and hu
manly it would be the greatest ad
vance nj economic procedure In a
hundred years of agricultural his
tory.
For it would recognize the funda,
mental fact that man is company
loving creature, and instead of tax
ing for it, would convert that quail
ity into comfort, happiness and
wealth for those who now must
choose between starving physically
in the city or starving for compan
ionship on the farm.

ed striking support from the rec
ords OF the state OF Delaware and
OF the new Hungarian nation, in
which the whipping post was adopt
ed as means Of controlling the
epidemic of crime that followed the
end Of the war.
President Victor J. Miller Of the
St Louis police board, is the --latest
Of many criminal authorities to
come out in favor Of the whipping
post.
Handling criminals with kid
gloves is not a successful method
says Mr. Miller in part. Many Grim
inalS do not care particularly about
Jail or even prison terms, but if a
big policeman takes them into an
alley and gives them a good beat
ing it does much to keep them
straight for a while. We are trying
to make it so hot for everybody
having any part in crime that there
viii be no ambition to engage in
the business. When criminals see
they are not going to get away with
their nefaricus work, they'll quit.
81 believe in discouraging young
er criminals. Kid glove methods
won't do that. Some social upliit
clubs have a perverted idea about
going easy, but the only way to re-
form a criminal is with a shotgun
or a whipping post. Criminals have
horror of the whipping post and
drastic as such punishment may
seem, it would be less costly in the
long run, all angles considered"
Mr.. Miller speaks from long ex-
perience and he undoubtedly speaks
the truth. Especially striking is his
statement, when criminals see
they are not going to get away
with it, they'll quit That has been
the great trouble in this country
We have bean letting criminals get
away with it entirely too much,
from petty crimes on up to murder
Some men are DULLES until they
meet a man they can't bluff, and,
even though he be a smaller man,
the fact that the bully did not get
| away with it" usually ends his ca
reer as a bully The same holds
good with criminals. Going farther
back, it holds good in the home,
when a spoiled" child gets the old
fashioned woodshed treatment.
Society has, ample power to re
strain and publish criminals. There
is no necessity for handling them
with kid gloves" but when this
method is used, the criminals are
apt to get the idea that decent peo-
pie are afraid of them or that they
they do.

Waste of Time.

Characterizing the present sys-
tenn Of averting the threatened
strike of railroad employees by q
conference at which the entire
membership of the Railroad Board,
the heads of fye labor organiza-
lions and executives Of the rail-
roads are in attendance, as "a
waste of time, with too many cooks
spelling the BROTH" w. H. Smith,
secretary of the International
clared that the only solution to the
present problem Is by mediation.
IL all the parties In this contro-
versy desire a satisfactory settle-
ment, and all have already ex-
pressed the desire to arrive at an
agreement, IL can be reached II
President Harding will request the
Railroad Labor Board to delegate
one of its members as a mediator
the transportation chiefs TO dele
gate one of their members, the rail-
road executives to appoint a men,
Der to speak for them at a confer
ence.
The history of settlement of Ia
Dor disputes through mediation
demonstrates that any railroad or
other labor controversy can be ar
rived at In this manner" said Mr..
Smith, who for SIX years was a
member Of the United States Board
Of Mediation and Cancellation. All
should not be given by nor taken
from the railroads in reduction of
rates, nor the employees In reduc-
tion Of pay, nor the public in rate
increases.
In the present situation It Is
clear that some concessions should
come from manufacturers and deal
ers through reduction in costs to
the railroads of supplies and equip
ment. The railroads want the pay
reduction Of last July to stand and
also desire to apply at once to the
Labor Board for a further reduc-
ton reconsidered by the Labor
Board and assurance from the rail-
roads that no application for fer-
ther. reduction will be made for a
stated period.
The public wants service" Mr.
Smith concluded. No schedules of
hours or wages are to be worked
out, and an agreement could be
reached with this plan of mediation
within a few hours"

Why Don't Teeth
Last a Lifetime?

People have got used to the
idea of losing their teeth in mid
die life. Yet they ought to have
them all at seventy, or even
seventy five.
Any dentist will tell you these
two things are necessary to,
maintain sound teeth: % Inspec-
tion by competent dentist at
least once every six months, to
detect and stop damage before it
becomes serious; co Use of a
proper dentifrice twice daily.
Many people have acid mouth
most of the time. and the rest
have il part OF the time. This
acid condition is the chief cause
of decay. The reason is simple
the acid eats holes in the enamel
and decay follows.
Dentists have been using milk
of magnesia successfully to pre-
vent this. Lately 1t has been
found possible to blend the milk
OF magnesia into a tooth paste
which gives exactly the same
effect. This milk of magnesia
tooth paste is called Mag Lac.
and II instantly makes the saliva
a Tx aline, counteractlng acid
mouth. Besides, 1t has unusual
cleansing and polishing power,
removing film and making the
teeth brilliantly white.
Mag Lac Is very pleasant to the
taste and as II is not only efficient
but economical "a tube lasts
eleven weeks), you ought to get
IL today. and begin helping your
teeth last a lifetime. 1t is sold
only at the following Penslar
