UNCLE SAM RUNS WORLDS
BIGGEST PRINTING PLANT

Just at present the American adj
miration for big things is tempered
by the feeling that they cost money
and that to procure or maintain them
adds to the burdens of the tax-pay-
ers. But despite this repressive in
fluence the megalomaniac who never
counts the cost will continue to exult
over the possession of big things.
Motives of economy will not incline
him to alter his belief that 1t is size
that counts and therefore he may be
relied upon to point with pride to
the fact that the United States MAIN
tains what is probably the largest
printing plant in the world, says the
San Francisco Chronicle.
The Government printing office In
Washington is a vast affair Its OPP
erations are on a scale requiring dis
bursements amounting to millions
annually. In 1920 they aggregated
$13,614,717.O6. In that year 1870
persons were employed in one capaci-
ty or another. So big is the army
of employees, and so many accidents
occur, $6.s7S was expended in pro-
viding surgical attention for the in

during the. state conference of that
organization. A resolution was
adopted urging Congress to pass a
law prohibiting the draping of flags
for decorative purposes when bunting

Members pledged themselves to re-

100000 Miners
STRIKE IN BRITAIN
Price Jumps And United
States Dealers Get Flood
Of Orders.

London, April 2--All work ceased
In the coal mines of the United King
dom at midnight, with the exception
OF very few districts and approx
mately 100000 miners were idle to-
day as a result of the controversy over
the wage issue. In only two col
lieries in Yorkshire, one in Northum-
berland, one in Scotland, and one in
North Wales the men have promised
to continue at their posts without
prejudice to any terms that may be
agreed upon, but all other pit work.
ers, including mechanics. pump men,
ventilating men, and pony men, came
out with the miners.
Danger that the mines may be
flooded threatens, and many may be
irretrievably ruined from the thrush
OF water. Strenuous efforts are be-
ing made everywhere to enroll volun-
teers. Yorkshire pump men have de-
,cided to remain at work, and hope
was expressed that others would fol-
low their example.
The first effect OF the strike has
been the placing OF orders with Amer
lean coal merchants. Advices from
New York state that a flood Of orders
from European countries which nor
mally have formed the British market
has been received there, and altho
the country's stock of coal is esti-
mated at 1,0O0,0 900 tons, the price OF
household fuel already has risen two
shillings per ton. London and other
urban centers are believed to have
several weeks supply on hand owing
to the fact that export OF coal has
been completely stopped by the Board
of Trade, except in cases where spe-
.cial permits have been issued.
Apprehension is felt that the Ma
tional Union of Railwaymen and the
transport workers union, partners
with the miners in the labor dispute,
may be tempted to strike in sympa-
thy with the coal diggers. In such
an event, the nation would be con-
fronted by crisis Of unprecedented
gravity.
One OF the largest wards in London
took precautionary steps yesterday
and formed a company of special po-
lice to protect property Orders
were issued last night to employees of
various Government departments to

is wife. At 70 man is just in his
prime. wouldn't say that man Of
20 should marry woman Of the same
age, because a woman of 70 has lost
interest in men,"
This statement from Prof. David
Starr Iordan, noted educator and
writer, made on his SEVENTEEN birth
day, is causing widespread discussion
particularly the sentence regarding
women. Women of 20 are heatedly
denying that they have lost interest
in men.

PARIS REACHES LIMIT
IN "UNDRESSED" WOMEN

Paris, April 2.-The limit of the
undress in Paris has been reached.
The first serious attack on the
growing immortality of the stage and
women's clothes was made this af-
ternoon when the French government
announced that II is about to intro
duce bill in Parliament imposing Sc
we're penalties on the ultra risque.
The cabinet today devoted an hour
to the subject following a sensation
al speech by Senator Lamar Selle,
who pointed out that in the latest
revue in the biggest Paris music hall
there are ten nude women in one
scene.
He added that the whole city is
plastered with immoral theatrical
posters and that the dancing clubs are
filled with half-dressed women. Even
the street costumes of the French wo-
men, the senator declared, are i'm
moral and he predicted that France
will fall like Rome unless the present
tendencies are stopped.
It became known today that the
king of Sweden, visiting Paris re-
Gently, unwittingly attended a thea
ter in which an artistic was dancing
In the nude. The king, it is declared,
was incensed and left the house at
the end of the first act.

noon regardless of the weather,
awaiting their turn for their meal at
the public kitchen.
They not snly take their dinners
at the public kitchen, bu. many Of
them find occupation there. People
who few years ago were very rich
and powerful in Russian cur, circles
are today serving in the dining room
and kitchen as cooks and dishwashers
and walters.

MAKE PARENTS RESPONSIBLE

Investigations into the so-called
crime wave in this country have dis
closed the fact that majority of the
persons implicated in robberies and
other actg of lawlessness are under
the age of twenty-one years, indicat-
ing that laxity in parental discipline
is largely responsible for their crimes
against society. No youth may act
in a legal capacity before he has
reached his majority without the
sanction of his parents or guardian,
so why should not the parents or
guardian be held responsible for any
damage which their wards may cause
TO society? If control of these youths
has been lost, society should have
the knowledge, at least, as a mat
ter of self-protection.
1t seems reasonable to suppose that
many parents would take more in
terest in the training Of their child
rem If they could be held responsible
for crimes which they committed.
They would at least attempt to pre-
vent lawless acts; or, failing in this,
report their inability to the author
tiles and ask that the law impose
restraining influences. 1t may be
argued that such a law would work
an injustice upon parents, but what
about the injustice that is imposed
upon the public by the acts of juven-
lie deliquents? Is society not en-
titled to some protection against law
lessness on the part of minors, or
failing in protection, should 1t not
have some recourse not now obtain
