A REAL HUMAN
BEING

1t is related of Vice President
Coolidge that he loves nothing so
much as romp with his children, and
the fact proves that he is real hu
man being-one unspoiled by the arti-
fetal conventions of dignity, etc.
How many of our fathers like to
play with their kids, and are not
ashamed if the neighbors happen to
"catch them at it?"
Do you come home from your place
of business to pick up pink bunch of
innocence and beauty from the cradle,
or from the sheltering mother arms,
and toss it high, cuddle it, kiss it,
love lido you? Do you join with
your boys in their home sports?
How much you miss of happiness
if you do not do this. What does
your stiff-necked dignity amount to :?
Didn't Napoleon, maker and wrecker
of empires, get down on his hands and
knees and ride the baby king of Rome
pick-a-pack? Sure, he did. And he
was none the less conquerer of Aus
terlitz and Marengo because he let
himself loose and played real father
to his child.
Eugene Field used to enjoy great
romps with his boys, and he wrote
undying verse about those jolly times.
Field wasn't afraid of soiling his
linen, or making bags in his trous-
er knees, or of getting sticky fingers
in his long hair. No, indeed, he was
not afraid of anything but that he
might lose some of the happiness that
came his way.
If you are not in the habit of play
ing with the kids, just begin the prac-
tice tonight. Don't light your pipe
and sneak off to some quiet corner
Just grab the kids and roll on the
floor or the lawn and make regular
fool of yourself-a regular loving,
natural fool for their sake and the
sake of their mother.
The kids like it and the mother
likes it. They never will forget il
through all the years that may come

BANKERS BLAMED
For Imitation of Years Ago

Chicago-Bankers were diplomat
ically raped on the knuckles by Dan
iel Crawford, Jr, at the convention of
the national association of real estate
brokers. The speaker is president of
the Philadelphia Operative Builders
Association.
Il believe" he said, "the bankers
made a serious error in permitting
the imitation that took place between
the spring of 1919 and the spring of
1890. Had they put on the brakes
when they found the reserve diminish
ing they would have prevented much
of the suffering that has been exper-
fenced during the year. The result
has been to create among institutions
that ordinarily financed building con-
struction a spirit of caution and mac
tivity that, if carried to extremes, will
be just as hurtful as over-extension
was"

he blamed the international Typo
graphical Union. He said there are
but "14 newspapers in the United
States" who would dare offend this
union. There was time when this
was considered shot stuff" but now
the men in the press gallery yawn.
Blanton's policy is to remain silent
when big business or influential per-
sons are involved and to rave for "the
people" on minor matters or where
he can aim blow at organized labor.
He applied his system in discussion
in the house on a bill to appropriate
$4S, 100000 to the shipping board.
For an entire day the house discussed
mismanagement and waste by the
board. Blanton took no part in the
discussion, nor expressed an opinion
il any form. Later, when the house
considered $4,000 item relating to
contested elections Blanton howled
for economy and made vigorous pro-
test against "the wasteful expendi-
ture of the peoples money"

BLANTON SLIPPING
No Longer Occupies First
Page of Public Press

Washington-Ble Blanton is
discovered in the national capital
and can no longer be "played up" on
the first page of the public press.
Last week he declared that the gov
ernment took over the railroads, no
to win the war, but because the gov
ernment feared the railroad employees
would strike and tie up transportation
from coast to coast. IF you passed
my bill to stop strikes by law, we
would not have to take over the
roads," shrieked Blanton. And the
newspaper correspondents cruelty ig
nored the Texans bombast.

RAIL FINANCES GAIN 50 /
PER CENT SINCE NAY
Wage Cuts and More Business
Expected to Improve condi-
tions Still More.

Washington. Aug s.---Apparently
the railroads OF the country are slowly
getting on a sounder basis than had
been anticipated few weeks ago.
Stories that important lines might go
into the hands OF receivers are no
longer heard, and ofYicials are hopeful
that the change for the better viii
react on the general industrial situa-
tion.
Reports on earnings for June and
July are encouraging. These Indicate
that net income for June will be more
than s60.oo0,00o perhaps as high as
S5a. .00o, 900. and that net income for
July will exceed $50 ooo.oo For May
the net Income was s3I.0so. .65t.
Car loadings also are showing a
steady Increase. not only in grains but
In industries. For the week of July 81
ear loadings totaled 7so.3ts and later
reports are more favorable.
Officials here think it il not improb-
able that by September or October the
class railroads. with the wage reduc-
tions which took effect on July I. will
show a net income equal TO the per
cent on valuation. 1t r. estimated that
these wage reductions will cut the
payrolls OF tho railroads by about $780,
600. 900 annually, or approximately
s35. 5000 a month.
Had the wage reductions been In ef.
feet in May approximately $4,000. 900
would have been added 10 net operat-
ing income. thus bringing the total
net operating income to about f72.0oo,-
900 as compared to the sss,o5s 900
which ii was necessary for the roads
to earn to show per cent. on valua.-
tion or more than 4 per cent.
Analysis Indicate that the railroads
are gradually returning to "norrnalcy.
Even the optimists believe. however,
that many months must pass before a
complete recovery may be expected
over the railroad situation has been
dissipated.
Treasury officials expressed the be-
lief today that most of the larger rail-
roads would accept the Government's
decision concerning the settlement of
claims and that an agreement would
be reached soon which will result In
the funding Of the debt OF the carriers
to the Government and the payment
blythe Government OF sums due 10 the
roads for the period OF Government
control.
1t is believed that at least $3.50 .o0O. :
900 will be available for the carriers
soon. and that with additional ap-
preparations by Congress the total may
reach $500. .ooo. zoo during the fiscal
| year. Congressional leaders are esti-
mating now that an appropriation oi
from $3.50, ,ooo. 900 to 1900 900. 900 will b,
necessary and a substantial sum Il
available in the Treasury.

Modern Warfare Methods.

Not only will the gtardsmen have
an opportunity to show the progress
they have made thus far In the direc-
ton OF general and specialized mill

| through series of actual warfare
demonstrations. Captain Charles w.
Walton OF Edgewood Arsenal. Md. In
structor in chemical warfare, is now
arranging a program for Governors
Day." which is expected to bring out
the great value OF the modern methods
of warfare and defence.
Yesterday gas masks of an inn
proved type were donncd by 200 MEM
bers of the regiment, and In an in
teresting morning drill under the
supervision of Captain Walton. the
soldiers were put through 'barrage"
of regular tear gas" This same gas
was used during the World War for
harassing the enemy. 1t causes the
eyes to sting and to water profusely.
IT is non-injurious, but is supposed
to keep the enemy in a constant state
of discomfort. This Sw gas mask,
called the X. r.. is minus the nose
clip and mouth piece. and is said to
last longer against deadly gases.
Az t1f AtdutIlN TINS INV ttoShS
were issued TO several other COM
panies. IL was made plain to the
guardsmen that the purpose of the
army and National Guard is to better
organize for swift action. better equip
with modern resources and. TO develop
the soldiers energy and initiative.
"The airpiane will play an inn
portant role in future wars" said Cap
tain Ben y. Blair, United States Army
instructor in anti-aircraft. "and as
result the anti-aircraft gun promises
to become the most potential weapon
in combating the plane"
There is no question but that bombs
will be dropped from planes in coming
wars" asserted Captain Walton.
However. the chemical is the most
important new method of warfare de-
vised since the invention OF gunpow-
der. And yet. it is really not new. II

is the opinion OF military men. Great
aerial fleets will sweep across the
skies. The monster1 OF the ali will
have but one drawback. that OF the
anti-aircraft guns, which. according
TO Captain Blair the infantry will con-
tinue to figure as deciding factor in
battle.

out by Captain Blair that the gas
