Why Gypsies Are Not Liked


No doubt there is an instructive an
tagonism between respectable folk and
Gypsies. The respectable settled life
is achieved only by repressing and con-
duering the nomadic impulse the Gyp-
sy represents. The farmer. ploddinE
thru his daily routine perhaps sees in
the GYPSY. without being exactly aware
OF the fact, his own other self, the self
that he has had to tight-the self that
led him to play hockey from school.
and tempted him to go TO sea, and even
now causes him to leave plowing for
fishing once in Il while Hiss attitude
toward this self, as incarnate in the
Gypsy, is one of mingled envy and an
tagonism. He despises the Gypsy and
still he hangs around the Gypsy tent
and has his fortune told and swaps
horses and loses money on the trade
Needless to say, some of the Gypsies
have earned their bad names. The
Gypsies from the south of Europe are
usually the dirtiest the most inclined
to pilfer and cbeat-tho none of them
are to be trusted in horse trade. The
Gypsies who come to this country from
Ireland and England. on the other
hand. are often well-to-do. and their
travelling homes are remarkably clean
and comfortable. There are all grades
of Gypsy as of other society. Some of
| the better class Gypsies own homes and
| farms where they spend a part of the
year. going on the road perhaps only
| in tho summer These usually send
their children to school n part of the
| time. There is colony of gypsies here
in Washington. who, ride about in au-
tomobiles and seem always to have
plenty of money. One of the men of
this group was arrested by the Wash
ington police on the charge that he
had no visible means of support and
he proved in police court that he had
invisible means TO the extent of $780,
600 in Washington bank
Some few of these wcll-to-do and
educated Gypsies arc said TO desert
the road life entirely and settle into
professions or trades. But even these
feel the call OF tho road at times and
wander surcptitiously.
Those who have studied tho Gypscs
closely are all of the opinion that they
should he tolerated and allowed to live
their free and easy lives as long as
they refrain from actual crime. They
say the Gypsy stands for something
valuable that the rest of the race Is
rapidly losing under the influence OF
civilization for the primitive spon-
tancous love and understanding OF ma
ture as distinguished from our highly
artificial admiration of sunsets and
moonriscs, for the joys of change and
freedom. II is we'll that n Gypsy wag-
on should rattle past our doors once
in whilc. Maybe 1T will only make
us feel snug and superior in our neat
little painted houses. our neat little
lives of habit and work. But maybe
1t viii mako us reflect that there arc
other things in life than dollars and
duties and routincs - things that
Gypsy knows.

Pueblo Manufacturing

The window displays of Pueblo manufactures shown
in this city during Industrial Week, the enthusiastic and
thoroly enjoyable annual banquet of the Pueblo Manu-
facturers Association Thursday evening, and the
astonishing display of Pueblo products in the great
dusria parade of Friday evening, together bear
elusive proof of the remarkable progress of Pueblo
manufacturing city.
This demonstration is not less substantial because
it is based upon very solid and very material dollars
and cents which may be stated in statistical form
payrols, and as output, and as sales.
1t is also worth noting that these very substantial
proofs of Pueblo manufacturing development are the
outcome of policies and principles advocated in the past
theories, demonstrated by actual experiences and
wholly reliable as a formula for greater and better
things in the future.
Home trading helps home prosperity: buying Pueblo
made goods will make Pueblo manufacturing center;
good advertising is the road to industrial success and
other similar maxims as true they true
yesterday The rules that have brought prosperity
to Pueblo manufacturers will bring an even greater
of if they continuously observed
and applied.
The industrial results impressvel, displayed this
ties in these lines. On the contrary they scarcely
the final proof of what Pueblo can do, but rather
the evidence of what Pueblo may do in the much
greater industrial field that lies open before
In this future development it is the people of Pueblo
rather than the manufacturers who play the prin-
cipal part The best and foundation for indus
trial expansion must always be loyalty home business

WHY
no SOME SUBSTANCES EXPLoDEr
1921, by the Wheeler Syn
dicate Incl

DO SOME SUBSTANCES EXPLODE.
Copyright, 1921. by the Wheeler Syn
dicate, 1nc)
Mention of the word Explosion"
usually brings to mind some sub
stance like gunpowder, nitro-Slycerine
or 7. N. T, generally used for the ex-
plosions which are premeditated, and.
to u certain degree, controlled by man.
But it should be remembered that
there are number of other sub
stances. apparently harmless in them
selves. which can explode with ter
rifle effect. Steam, for example, II too
closely confined, will burst a boiler
and do almost as much damage as a
shell. Grain dust. coal dust, or the
mills, is extremely dangerous on ac-
count OF this tendency. for the gener-
alton of heat from some unexpected
source may cause it to shatter the
elevator or mill which contains it.
There is however, a difference be-
tween what might be called natural
explosions of this kind and the "arti-
ficial' explosions of Eunpowder and
nitro-Glycerine. The first are due to
heat which causes a sudden burning
of the particles of dust near it and a
consequent expansion OF the air which
almost instantaneously becomes an ir-
resistible force. In the case of gun
powder and allied explosives the re-
suit is due to the presence OF chemic-
ais which burn with great rapidity
without having to come in contact
with the air. and in burning, these
chemicals release largo quantities of
gas. 1t is the attempt of this gas to
escape from the container which con-
fines II. that causes what we allude
to as an "explosion"-just as the steam
in the boiler is constantly trying to cs-
cape. and. unless safcty-valve re-
lieves the pressure, 1t will eventually
shatter nYen the STRONGEST steel

This is not a. lucky day, according to
astrology. Saturn rules with sinister
power that OvercOmes the kindly sway
of Venus.
Old thoughts and old ideas are likely
to gain consideration under this rule
of Saturn which would tear down what
progress has built up.
The reactionary tendency may be
strongly apparent in the sermons of
this day. which is not favorable to the
acceptance of outworn creeds.
Materialism will make a strong
claim at this time when there is a fall
ing away of idealism before the con-
stant stressing of the radical side of
life.
Women may find this most unfav-
orable day, making for restless and
dissatisfaction with themselves and
with life.
The planetary influences are especial
ly bad for women past youth, making
for discouragement and depression
For this reason a cheerful, positive at
titude of mind should be maintained.
1t is an unlucky sway for love at
fairs. Young and old may be equally
susceptible and all will regret engage
ments made under this direction of the
stars.
This should be time for caution
when travelling thru dark places and
motorists are warned that Saturn
gives cleverness and craft to robbers
who lie in wait along thorofares.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have a strenuous year. Those who
are employed should be particularly
careful. The young will have love af-
fairs.
Children born on this day probably
will be sensitive and high-strunS.
Girls are likely to have eventful mar

THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN

1t should strive to write the tax laws in such a
that they SIMPLE easily understood, and adj
mnistered with the least possible expense 1t should
strive to interfere as little possible with the
of business both in the burden of taxes and in the ad
ministraton of the law.
Unfortunately for Congress and unfortunately for
the people that is not the kind of taxation the people
now desire. We are nation Of tax dodgers. In the
effort to tax the minority and to let the majority
cape, have only made it possible for the rich to
dodge taxes effectively than the poor able to
do. But the majority still cngs to its delusion, and the
weight of public opinion is cast overwhelmingly against
the principles of scientific taxation.
