Letters to the Editor
Women and Cigarettes

re fhs Editor Of the EVentnp Pubrc Led1cr:
eir-l have notoi that somr OF the read.
ere OF the Peoples Forum have been willing
: to give good advice to parents and others
reSarding certain things In which help has
peen solicited, and this has prompted me TO
come to your paper to sec IL can get a
little advice regarding women and cigarette
snoSns.
have always been highly ayorso TO to-
baoco In any form. feeling that It is n filthy
habit In man and detrimental 10 his
health. have refused TO employ In my
business young men who smoked, and would
not allow those who werc older and huu
formed the habit TO smoke during working
hours, unless outside OF tbs building at their
dinner hour.
While I, am ab,a TO control this, there is
ana that 10 the recent habit Of women
smokinR cigarettes. For = long time the
faot that my two dsushters and my wife
smoke cigarettes was kept from me- But
now they have become more bold AMI do noe
hesitate to smoke in my presence. and tell
me that they will do as they please about
Il. and seem to be absolutely helpless IN
the matter.
NY daughters were the frs. to learn 10
smoke through getting IN with q little set
of what might call ''girls who are going
tho pace" snd who think It nothing to
dine at public restaurants and have their
nfter-dinner smokes. These girls. believe.
begin the habit becauso they think Il looks
smart. but so far as can see Il only seems
smart to a lot or brhnless young FOOLS, but
to the better element OF men and women It
seems most revolung.
They did not smoke at home Tor long
time. but their girl friends would call and
would insist upon smoking, and very shortly
they persuaded my wife that every up-to-
date mstron was smoking and that you
were simply not IN II unless you smoked;
and as my wife Is one OF the sort who
would rather be out o; the world than out
Of style abe was easily persuaded Uy the
daushters to try the thing, and now she
has become a regular hend; keeps llttle
ashtray near her bed. ana frequently az
night che smokes. as she says. to quiet her
nerves 30 that she can sleep.
There seems nothing left FOR ne TO do
but accept the situation. My daughters
could have been easily controlled wore II
not that they have their mother on their
side. Now that We have prohibition and
liauor Is so hard 70 secure, have nothing
TO do in the way OF retaliation. but II this
were not the case II would be fine o1-
portunity 70 80 home as often os possible
under the influence until they would get so
tired OF Il and ashamed of the disgrace that
they would see things as do, and there
would be a general reform brought ABOUT
IN my family. W. L. =.

NoBoDY's CHILD
by PHILIP II. CHASE
Alone, IN the dreary, pltlless street,
With my torn. old dress and bare. cold feet
Al day I've wandered TO and fro.
Hungry and shiverin' and nowhere to 20;
The nights coming on In darkness ana dread.
Ana tna chill sIeet beating upon my bare
Oh! why doe, the wind blow upon mo -
Wild?
Is Il because I'm nobody's child?
JIst over the way there's a aood Of .irht.
And warmth and beauty and all things
bright;
Psnutitul children. In -obes 10 fair,
Are cnrCllng songs IN rapture there
wonder II they. IN their biIsstul giee,
Would pity poor little beggar like me.
Wandering alone In the merciless street,
Naked and sh!vertns and nothing TO eat.
Oh. what shall Go when the night comes
In its terrible biacknesy all over the town?
Sha.! lay me down meath the angry sky
on the cold. hard pOvenents alone to dis7
'''N'' N''0 prayers
Eavs said,
And mammas have tucked them Up snus!y
IN bed.
No dear mother ever upon m. smiled
WY Is r. 7 wonder. that I'm nobody's

No father. TO mother. 10 sister, no. one
In a! the world loves ne: cen the l!ttlo

When wander 100 near them: 't!s wondrous

How everything shrink, from a bess.r IKE
Perhaps It's 4 cream. but sometimes when

Gazing far UP IN the dark blue Sky
Watering for hours some largo bright star,
l fancy the beautiful gates are a.sr.
And q host g briEht-robed numeess things
Come Nuttering Ger me IN Eilded wings;
A hand that Is strangely soft and fair
Cares'es Eently my tangled hair.
And voice Ike the carol os soTne wild

The sweetesc vo!co that was ever heard
Calls mo many a dear pet name.
IT,! my heart and spirits are al ahans
And tells me such unbounded love,
And bids me come UP to their home above:
md then with such pitiful. sad surprise
They look at me with their sweet blue eyes
And II seems 20 me out OF the dreary night,
! am going W 20 the world Of light:
And away from tho hunger and storms so

Where Railroads Should Cut

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
S'r-TTe read 80 much about the necessl-
ties Tor the railroads to MAKE u cut in
wages. I wonder how much OF demsnd
there would be from the railroads for the
public to help them reduce rates by cut
ting salaries IL the cut was TO affect aii
employees from the presidcat OF III, road
down. Say about rs follows:
President. cut from $1,000 70
$4,000 ....................... S2J. 900
SIX vice presidents. each cut $4,000 1000
FIFTY general managers and depart
fneCt heads. $1,000 each ....... 100 600
One hundred assistants, $1,000 each. 100, 900
Five hundred heads Of Departments,
$500 each ....,................ c5n 600
$500 900
II each !aTEe sYr:cri could cut 5000 900
n year from the heads Of its concern and
smaller roads IN proportion the demand Ior
the cut in the laboring mans salary would
rot seem so necessary. J. ". l..

homa, on Thursday, having supposed
that the plan for marketing wheat was
finally settled at the American farm
bureau meetings at Chicago. While it
is true that the National Wheat
Growers association may do lot of
marketing through the farm bureau
sales section, large meeting of wheat
growers at Enid decided in favor of
compulsory pooling. The committee
of seventeen made pooling optional.
and this was adopted as part of the
plan" Some of the northwestern
states are in favor of compulsory
pooling, and such action may be TAX
en- in some sections. This will not,
however. prevent their pools market
ing through the farm bureau, where
SO provided for.
