True, the actoEs are now organized,

Get the Mail Box Now!

BY January l all householders must
have front.door mail boxes. -Four
months grace Is given, and surely by
the first Of the year everybody will

vantages Of letter boxes are obvious.
They should appeal to all. The boxes
do not merely make easier the work
of the delivery carriers. They make
mail deliveries more speedy. A letter

to be answered all along his route.
Then, too. boxed mail is safer than
mail that is merely handed into the

The mail in the box Is taken up only
by those who have keys. Presumably
the keys are intrusted only to those
who have right to take the mail.
The carrier now must ring and wait.

he can deposit the mail, ring and go

lust as quickly as if they had kept the
carrier waiting until the door. was
opened-more quickly in point of the
time of the day. because the carrier
has made each round In shorter space
than before.
Good mail service is matter of CO.
operation. Formerly this cooperation
took the form OF prompt responses to
the door bells when the carriers rang.
Now it takes the form of providing
boxes, for a very slight expense, cost
ing nothing to maintain, earning their
cost many times over in terms OF
speedier mail.
Do not wait until the last day OF
grace to put boxes on the outer walls.
Do it at once. tomorrow. and get the
benefit meanwhile of the speedier mail
service that is assured In the degree
that the post Offices regulation is OBJ

Twenty-Six to Twenty-ThIHe

Memories of old-time base ball games
are revived by the contest just staged
in Chicago between the Cubs and the
Phillies Of the National League, which
was won by the former by the as
tonishingly large score Of 26 to %.
Four or five decades ago such scores
were frequent. Teams often piled up

Of the past century, the average game

for three hours and one minute. Just
in contrast may be taken the game

when the result of to was accom-
plished In one hour and twenty.six

Bis-scofe games are the result of
heavy batting. In the Chicago contest
Friday the Cubs made twenty-six hits
with total Of forty-three bases, and
the Phillies twenty-five bits with
total Of thirty.three bases. The win
ners made ten runs in one inning and
fourteen runs in another. The losers
made eight runs in the eighth and six
runs In the ninth, coming up strongly
from behind and nearly tying the
score. There were comparatively few
errors, considering the length of the
game and the hard hitting, four by
Philadelphia and five by Chicago.

Stage Wages.

Wage cutting is the vogue today in
many lines. The latest move toward
reduction is that made by theatrical
producers, one of whom has just been
quoted as announcing that heavy
cuts are coming. This particular
manager has just returned from
Europe with thirty plays in his
trunk, which he hopes to produce
next season in this country. But he
says he. cannot possibly afford to
do that unless salaries are cut, and he
intimates that this cut may go rs high
as 80 per cent. The Actors Equity
Association, through one Of its on.
cials, responds that salaries probably
must come down, but suggests As a
solution Of the problem an acceptance
Of lower fixed pay and payment Of

a certain amount.

Poland's New Middle Class.

CHRISTIANIA-Cnt now there
has been no middle class IN poiaho'
the inhabitants belonging either TO
the nobility or the peasantry. but the
great problem of today is to build up
a class of farmers to take their place
between tho two classes. A writer In
the Aftenposten relates some inter
estinr facts connected with this sub
ject He says:
poland is exclusively an agricui-
tural country, in spite Of the texthe
manufactures in Lodx. the industrial
territory In Upper Silesia, the salt
mines in WieliZka and the naphtha
sources in Galicia. There is no dan
ger OF Poland becoming bolsheVist.
It has often been imagined abroad
that Poland might easily become the
scene of a proletariat revolution llke
the Russian. But in the Polish at
mosphere it is soon seen that the
bolshevists have little chance of
fruitful harvest in Polish territory.
1.-The strongest antidote against
bolshevism is the spirit of national
independence. and in this respec.
united than the Polish. Here even the
socialists are fiery patriots.
The most important question Tor
Poland's future Is the question OF
agriculture. This hangs closely to.
gether with the great defect In Polish
society, the want OF middle-class.
For the Poles there is no middle way
between the aristocratic landed pro-
prietors and the peasants. who have
mostly lived in very primitive cir
cumstances.
The old poetical contrast between
the castle and the cottage is an un-
pleasant reality and the greatest inn
portance for the future of Poland.
The Polish nobility is still today the
living epitome of the country's his
tory and traditions Of culture. Every
thing which belongs to the Polish
character, for good or bad, the
frivolous and romantic, the bold and
ambitious patriotism. the mystic and
religious enthusiasm. the comfort and
hospitality of the home-ail this be

and the nobility.

told of his having been perfectly in

oppressed, and it Is whispered he was
not unwilling to accept Russian help
against the landed proprietors. But
as often as he returned to his coun-

his own country church. or watched
the dancing of the market women
in the national Polish dances. he be-

Murphy and Hearst.

Leader Murphy OF Tammany Hall
is in closer place this year probably
than ever before. He is not unfamiliar
with the temperature, of warm cor
ner. But the corner is hot today, and
still a-heating. By the time Of the
meeting Of the state democratic con-
vention it will be red-hot.
Mr.. Murphy is strongly suspected Of
unfriendliness toward the Hearst
gubernatorial boom. But he hesitates
to declare himself. Mayor Hylan is a
Hearst man. and Tammany, for pa
tronage reasons, is interested in keep
ing on terms with the mayor. 1t Is
the mayor who hands out the raw
meat upon which the tiger feeds.
The Tammany leader. therefore, is
at present sheltering behind the state
ment that the state convention will
choose the candidate. He is waiting,
he says, for that body to declare it.
self He will, of course. support the
nominee.
The contest is between Hearst and
'Al' Smith. The Hearst people class
Smith with Gov. Miller. Both, they
assert, are friends of the interests"
Why bid against the republicans for the
support Of the interests? The repub-
|Iicans have the stronger hold on them.
Why undertake to shake it? Why not
bid in the name of democracy for the
support Of the plain people, who know
their friends
The Smith people reply by refusing
to class Hearst as a democrat. They
ask, What is he? and answer by say
ing that he has now supported, now
opposed, democratic candidates and
platforms. Moreover they suspect him
Of a purpose to swing the democratic
organization of New York If he can
possess himself Of it over to new
party, and put himself at that party's
head for 1924.
1t is "hoss and hoss" between
Murphy and Hearst as to Woodrow
Wilson. Neither has ever had the
slightest use for him, or been served
by him in any way. In 1916 New York
went overwhelmingly for Hughes, and
last year Gov. Cox, representing Mr..
Wilson's pet issue. lost the state by
over a million votes.

The Anti-Gambling Law on Trial.

Since March Is, 1921, the Washing
ton police have arrested lat persons
for gambling. mostly race track gam.
bling. OF these lat persons eighteen
only have received sentences in court.
Eleven cases have been nolle pressed.
Three Of the accused have died. That
would leave lis cases undisposed Of
in court. In eighteen months! That
means one for every four days, one
race gambler going free without any
penalty, free to scoff at the law, to
continue his practices, to draw fresh
money out of the needy and to impose
more suffering upon those whose pro-
viders squander their substance in the
betting joints.
These figures present vividly the sad
state Of the court calendar tn respect
to the prosecution Of these cases. They
are officially presented to the Commits
sioners by the chief Of police. to indi-
cate how hopeless it has been hereto
fore to effect the enforcement Of the
law in the District.
1t is now promised that the gam
bling cases will have precedence in
court. beginning a very few days
hence. AS soon as the Police Court
jury returns from its vacation the
process will be started. 1t must not
be rushed, however, to the point of dis
regard for the proof. There is nothing
to be gained by mere clearance Of
the calendar, regardless Of the merits
of the cases. 1t is more important to
convict two or three gamblers as an
evidence Of the efficacy Of the law
when aroused than to sweep the docket
clean.
For it has been the boast Of the
bookies that no Washington jury
would convict in a gambling case. Let
this be determined. The cases will be
closely watched. The evidence will be
weighed by the public as carefully as
the jury will weigh it. The law itself
will be on trial, and it behooves those
who are charged with the duty Of its
enforcement to make sure Of the stout
est possible defense Of the community
against the evil represented in the
congestion on the court calendar.

following telegram which was sent
him by the state convention held to
ratify the primary polling and adopt

The democratic party of West Vfr-

Santa Claus Factories i'm u. S.

Germany has now lost the advantage
that it appeared to possess when the
mark was declining rapidly. and
American manufacturers need not
fear such severe competition from
Thuringia, Nuremberg and Erzebridge
as they have been experiencing. Mr..
Payne reports to the Department OF
Commerce. In the three main centers
of the German toy industry approXi-
mately so per cent of their output mas
been exported. but since costs OF pro-
duction have increased and the manu-
facturers are unable to give flxed
prices except for goods already on
hand, the trade is falling off rapidly.
There is healthy sign in the United
States which stands out in contrast to
the situation In which the German
manufacturers find themselves. with
scarcity of raw materials. The
American manufacturers are estab-
fishing factories for metal toys in the
very heart of the metal producing
fields. They are establishing wood
working plants for games and rock
ing horses and wagons and doll car
riages near the great forests of the
west, and oftentimes in co-ordina-
nation with the furniture factories to
use up what would otherwise, be
waste.
Uncle Sam has also counseled with
Santa Claus as to this develop
ment-that the toy industry has come
out of the kitchen and come under
specialized machinery and tools in
great factories. This works for guam
tity production. minimized cost and
admits for expert study to improve
the product Some of the most tai
entedf artists as well as clever in
ventors and expert mechanics and en-
gineers are now employed in the game
and toy industry in this country-al-
ways looking for a way to improve
and strengthen the educational and
artistic appeal and influence as wei
as the amusement pull" of their
product The cost of hiring these
great artists and inventors and en-
gineers and scientists is absorbed In
the minimized Overhead" and econo-
mics of quantity production.
For the reverse, look at Sonneberg,
the center of the German doll indus
try. The majority Of those employed
are home workers. They design and
make the toys in their own homes
and sell them to the dealers and ex-
porters. The price Is based on their
own calculations. 1t Is estimated that
there are about 10000 of these home
workers who make toys and Christ
mas tree decorations The cost Of
raw materials has been rising con-
stantly. especially in the case Of such
imported raw materials as textiles.
rubber. mohair, and colophony. as
we'll as kaolin and Ignite from Bohe-
mia, which is used in the manufac-
ture of bisque doll heads. There has
also been an increase In the cost of
packing materials. varnish and lac
quer.
