ANOTHER SIDE OF TT

The matter of the soldiers bonus mental affair. It has been taken for granted in most of the discussions, that it was merely question of paying out a vast sum of money, or of giv- ing something worth great deal to the former soldiers, and of receiving nothing in return. Little has been said of the benefit the country would receive were the bonus to be paid It seems to have been the idea that the | beneficiaries of the bonus would be the only gathers.
 It is believed that more should be made of what the people in general will receive, indirectly, of course, but with an indirection that would have far reaching, practical effects.
 Hanford MacNider, national com- mander of the American Legion, touched on this aspect of the ques- ton when he said "The adjusted compensation plan would do more to strengthen the economic fabric of the nation than any other thing that can be done at this time. Nor is there any reason to believe that all ex-seryice men will elect the cash bonus as al- formative. But when thousands of ex- service men are walking the streets we don't believe they ought to be dic- tated to as to what form of compen- sation they ought to take"
 There are 'thousands of ex-service men walking the streets" And there arc other ousands-millions perhaps who are working but who are not in their regular jobs and who are suffering the effects of alaving. given up their civilian work for time and who are not satisfied, restless, eager to get back to where they belong in the industrial or professional world.
 The moral effect of having these millions of men feel that the country had recognized their services, to have them placed in d position to go about their work with renewed enthusiasm inspired by that recognition and by

REAL PATHOS

It is fortunate that there exists such a sympathetic body of people as the St. Petersburg Purity League. There is no way in which to figure the aw- full suffering of married men of Flor ida were it not for such organization. There is no way of estimating to what depths of grief and torture they have been plunged already, or how they are struggling even today against the terrible tide of sorrow and woe which may threaten to overwhelm them. Sincerely it is hoped that the Mayor of St. Petersburg will heed the appeal that has been made to him to protect these gentlmen in the plight which, according to the Purity League, they find themselves.
 The dispatch which informs of the tragic situation is brief and. to the point So have been many messages in history which, nevertheless, were charged with tremendous importance. It was in the form of request and was a pathetic plea that the Mayor appoint bathing suit inspector be- cause "the league intends to protect the married men from the wiles of the sea vamp."
 The Mayor, strong, determined, fearless, has promised to go to the beach and investigate.

 At the moment Frances attitude is all-important. The sooner she in- dicates her willingness to cooperate with England in defensive plan; the sooner she indicates that she is willing to set the example of sym pathy with the disarmament move and the plan for economy, the sooner will the full conference at Genoa be arranged for March or a later date.

WHEN IS RENT DUE

A decision of q Municipal Court Justice sitting in Brooklyn will please tenants living in a home on which they have no lease providing for pay ment of rent on certain days, and will throw consternation into the hearts of landlords who have given no such leases, if the decision is upheld in the higher courts of New York and if it is followed throughout the country
 The judge held that rent was not due until the end of the month and that an action brought for October rent, begun before the month had end ed would be dismissed as the rent had not become due.
 In the days when there was no place to go if q landlord decided to oust a tenant, the latter was only too eager to pay his rent on any day the land lord sought it, if the tenant was able to pay it. AS there comes less conges-

ton, however, and as houses and apartments are more numerous, the tenant is not quite so cowded; the landlord is more considerate
 There might arise question Of GUS tom in this matter which would alter the situation, but under the decision as it stands no landlord may recover rent for a month, where leasing IS from month to month, until the ten ant has occupied the premises for that month.
 It will be seen that possibly the old saying reminiscent of the vaudeville stage will become appropriate: It's easier to move than to pay rent

That has proven Il the Herald must agree with the sentl- ments of many members of the Com ning's paper, and 1t is probable that the same feeling will exist among the about it. there should be no indis- criminate cutting of salary, though q might well be made by someone, It ! is quite evident that the heads of to recommend the cutting of wages of q person under them. They, quite naturally, do not wish to work hard ship upon their assistants. Without the whole hearted advice of the same heads it is next to impossible for a committee to act wisely, hence the Council will not be properly informed despite the best efforts of It's commit tee on who should be cut and why.
 The trend of the times is towards economy. Probably the city payroll is too large. But who is to say where it is too large? Not the citizen, un- aware of the work of the individual, not the Council, it does not know, not the committee, 1t has difficulty in get ting at truths. The department heads should have the say, they know. But the chances are that many of them are going to be influenced by sympathy or politics and make no cuts.
 Sometimes it is economy to hire a more expensive man than one who might be occupying a position, rather than reduce the incumbent's pay. Ger tain it is that s3,O00 man, for in- stance, who wastes S10,000 through ignorance or inefficency is worth

If his pay were commensurate with what he was really worth on a dollars and cents basis the chances are that he would be satisfied and would remain, even though offered more, when times are better, by some one else. It is poor economy to lose that man anytime. We might replace him, but it will cost money to break in the new man.
 If the Common Council is to de- termine what each employe is worth it has a great deal of work to do. Rigid investigations must be put under way and thoroughly carried out We wish economy, true. But again-econ- omy is not always reducing a mans pay.

@ROBABLY nothing will so dis
turb the home builder as the
. search for the right plan to
meet his particular needs. Unfortu-
nately he may have a preconceived
notion of building q Colonial, an
Italian, a Mission, a Tudor or some
other "style" house of a definite
type and period. thirx 1t is un-
fortunate to come to the choice OF
a home with such a set determine
ton for any one period" or style"
because it is necessary to get the
plan first and let 1t develop into a
pleasing architectural whole.
All styles have both good and
bad features-the thing to do is to
ask yourself what you want In q
home, and then choose that plan
or adaptation of style" which will
most nearly give you this result.
For example, does your family
live in a formal, rather aristocratic
manner? II so, a modified Colonial
will doubtless suit you best with
it's very regular and balanced con-
struction, its room at each corner
of the house, definitely shut OF
one from the other, etc.
II, on the other hand, you and
your children live in a less formal
way, If you like to gather together
as a family In one large room,
then you probably would select
either the Mission or the Dutch or
the English Tudor. In these houses
there is always a very large, in.
formal living room, smaller dens
or sitting rooms and a general
freer and more intimate atmos-
phere.
Any house is poorly planned
when it is always necessary to
cross one room in order to get to
another. This fault is particularly
noticeable in bathrooms and bed
rooms, but II is just as annoying
where you have to track across

pass through the dining room every
