When the effort was recently made
TO have horses excluded from the streets
OF New York It seems impossible that
the hackers Of such an endeavor could
have expected that It would succeed. II
has been evident for a long time that
the horse was being crowded out of his
accustomed place, that he was being
seen less and less on the public high
ways. but in spite OF the manifest in
crease IN the number OF automobiles It
has not gotten to the point where 1t IS
advisable to legislate the horse of the
street.
According to thu last census there
we're nearly 22.O0O,00O horses In the
country. the states which lead the list
being with one exception west OF the
Mississippi river. This would place the
great number OF horses In the farmin &
regions and there can be little question
but what Il IS 10 the country that they
have gone from the cities. Horses are
not 50 uncommon as to atrac attention
but they are far less numerous than
they we're a few years ago. They are
not being employed for the same work
that they were a decide or two decades
age anu WINE the AUTO is replacing
them on all sides it is the experience Of
those engaged in the trucking business
that they are preferable for the short
haul work TO the motor truck in that
they accomplish the transportation re-
auirements at a less expense.
That may not mean that they viii
not be gradually replaced. but It would
certainly be an unfortunate situation tc
declare that horses could not be longer
employed IN the interest Of economy but
that the more expensive method mus
be adopted Likewise It would be un,

Il Is possible that the elimination Of
the horse from the streets Of the bis
cities Is desired IN the interest Of speed

from burning up the pavements the way
they desire, but II that is the case th'
longer the horses are maintained OF
those streets the safer those Highways
are going to be.

ct,lLD TRAINING AT HOME
PLAY PLACES IN THE HOUSE


During the many days and hours
when children can not be told to run
out and play" they must play in the
house, as matter of necessity. Where
the abode is a spacious one there is
of course no problem, but the majority
of families live in small houses and,
alas, apartments.
Time and again it has. been my lot
to spend visiting sessions in houses
only play places were under the visi-
tors feet, on the arms and rockers
of chairs and entirely in the vicinity
of the grown people who were going
through vacuous form of conference
or converse ton. The usual apologies
were always forthcoming The wealth
er is so bad!" The house is so SMALL
THE children are so full of life!'
| They love so to be with mother!'
and SO on.
Now an A B c application of or
binary sense would make it plain t.
that mother that consideration for hel
guest, for her own comfort, for her
childrens good, demands some Other
play place and a little ingenuity woult
make one possible. Play is so vital &
| part of childs life that a place fol

not a luxury.

PosrMAsTER GENERAL WORK.

Thoroughly in accord with what was
expected was the appointment by Pres
ident Harding of Assistant Postmaster
General Hubert Work as postmaster
general TO succeed VIII II. HAYS. and
the recognition Of his fitness for the DO
Fton is indicated by the prompt man
ne- in which the nomination was con
hImed by the senate.
The selection was made from all indi-
cations because Of the presidents belief
that he was thoroughly capable in ev-
cry way to administer that important
depa TInent, considerations which were
given attention when Postmaster Cen
tral Hays was named. And while the
latter had had no experience in the af-
fairs ~ that branch Of government SER
vice the new anpointee comes to the Of
fee with the advantage Of a years ser
vice under the administration of the
man who selected him as assistant and
therefore thor0u-ai~ in touch with the
duties and policies Of the man who had
done much for the improvement of the
postal service.
Because Of the favorable impression
made In tackling the problems of the
department there is widespread regret
hat he is retiring from the position. He
has recognized the demand of the pub
lic for service. heard the call for speed
ing Ut Of the mails and indicated that
he realized that the people were enti-
tied 70 get what they paid for instead
Of eudeavoring to show a profit With
cut regard for service.
Because the new postmaster genera
has been an assistant doesn't mean tha
he will follow the exact course of hi
Predecessor. He knows the situation
AMI 10 knows the demands. He know
what mas been accomplished and VIVA
needs to be done to get the department

but as this was not forthcoming, he
was sentenced to DEATH after a trial
of five days. However, so much in SYM
pathy were the people of the county
with the condemned man, that no one
could be found a erect a gallows, no
one to break the letters, and as it was
against the law to hang a man in
chains, the case seemed hopeless as
ever. But even contrary to the law, 1t
was decided to hang him in chains and

room,-the smaller one, a larger one
being reserved for the necessary bu-
reaus, play place and playthings.
In another home the dining room is
the play place, and the very fact that
it must be put in order before meal
times is giving one group of little folks
invaluable lessons in neatness- order
consideration and helpfulness.
But the ideal play place is the at
tic, and there often is one of some
sort, such a space kept reasonably
clean, and having it's windows portect-
ed, would solve many household pro-
blem. The fact that the attic is cold
is in it's favor rather than otherwise.
Indeed while the children are playing
there the upper sash of the windows
should be open. There is no reason
why with coats, sweaters. caps. and
even mittens on, the children should
, not be told to run up and play at
such times as rain or cold make out
door sport impossible. There being no
occasion for putting on the despised
and clumsy rubbers is also an advan-
| tage. Wise parents would see to II
that such an attic contained an old
mattress for jumping on a ladder
a clothesline, some odds and ends Of
| discarded furniture, wooden boxes, G
trestle or two, boards, hammers an6
nails, an old tarpaulin or other clott
for tent-making purposes, together
with such toys as the children choose
to take with them.

RArIFYINa TREArY on YAP.

The ratification of the treaty con-
corning the island Of zap means an en-
dorsement of the first of the several
treaties resulting from the Washington
conference that the senate has been
asked to declare itself on. It is not too
much to say that ratification was ex-
pected. There developed opposition
which was not sufficient either to bring
about the lacking on of reservations or
the refusal to ratify. Under the treaty

and such being the case what more

defeating it? We have maintained our
position in regard to this Pacific island,
our demands were recognized and
granted and now congress has endorsed
what, the conference delegates accom-
plished upon that point.
Being the first Of the treaties to be
acted upon it is natural that there
should. be consideration as to what
bearing the vote may have in regard to
the others, It has disclosed certain
democratic opposition and a decidedly
small republican sentiment against. All
the senate was not present but in view
Of the fact that certain senators who
were absent are known to have been ia
vorable, or that Of the absentees a ma
iority would have voted for ratification
had they been present there seems to
be good reason for believing that what
ever is reported favorably by the for
eign relations committee is likely to be
favorably acted upon.
In all probability the strongest oppo-
sltion that will be displayed will mani
fest itself when the four power treaty
IS up for action. In view of the reser-
walton which is approved by the com
mittee, and by the administration If a
reservation is deemed necessary, there
are reasons for believing that the SEN
ate will express itself in regard to this
document quite the same as it did con-
corning zap and as it is expected to re
garding the other treaties which will be
submitted for approval The zap trea-
ty vote furnishes the first definite facts
in regard to the alignment Of the sen
ators concerning these matters and il
must be regarded as favorable.

Mr.. Editor: I would like to know how

es of snow on the ground, so of course
got the children ready and sent them to
street did also. Soon they all came back
again, saying, NO school today"
OF course with two inches of snow on
the ground one couldn't expect tSem to
study in school, but they surely did enjoy
playing onutside all morning.
Today Thursday with nearly foot Ct
snow on the ground, I thought surrey
there would be no school, so kept my chill
dren at home. OF course, they bad
school today.
Would gladly have sent mine if I had
known it, as they get little enough school
ing as it is. 1t surely is inconsistent, TO
say the least.
When l was child We all had boots and
rain coats and no child was ever sent
home on account of the weather.
My children have neither b2ots nor
