II Is hoped that international rela-

over the trip Of two women who sped
from Montreal TO Forty-second street
and Broadway in a taxicab, the fare
meter Of which registered s453. and
who overlooked paying that or any
sum to tho chauffeur who made the
long haul In nineteen hours. Modern
diplomacy will take into consideration
that In this instance temperament
looms large. and accept. In principle

The Flowers Of Dawn.

What tender touch has turned the clouds
to flowers?
It is the Dawn. clear as a daffodil
Standing a-tiptoe on yon distant hill ,
And heaping roses with the mounting
hours;
From out the banks of down fall glis-
tenng showers
OF myriad colored bloom. which seem
The lofty armament with light, until
The heaven blossoms like ethereal bow
What though the grip of winter on the
land
Enfolds the vale and crowns the hill
top high,
Banishing from our sight the flow
ers we love?
Still may we see them II we look
above.
For e'er the snow fell. autumn's gentle
hand
Plucked them from earth and set them
in the sky.

'tair chance, nature has restored the
wild life which once seemed doomed
to pass.
This season the sport. when the
weather has been favorable, has been
better than for some years past.
Calm days when there was not rip

casions the patience of the hunters
was sorely tried, but the right sort

Fault has been found by some
hunters because birds killed in the

could produce canvasback or red

possession Of migratory game birds
beyond ten days after the close OF
the regular season renders the owner
subject to prosecution by the United
States Government. The sunicient
answer to these complaints is the
fact that the birds are protected.
Experts maintain that protection OF
migratory birds in tho. spring and
establishment Of breeding and nest
ing sanctuaries will ultimately bring
about great increase in their num-
bers. This result will depend upon
the wholehearted support given by
sportsmen to law enforcement and
the continued suppression Of mar

MY Bank.

My pennies are the golden suns.
My bank Is In the hills;

And yet it never fills.
I must have tens and hundreds now
And yet they always fall
SO softly down behind the hills
They make no noise at all.

In handling the complaint made by
a young woman who recently had ar
raigned before him man whom she
accused of insulting her City Magis-
trate OBERwAoER displayed good judg-
ment and sound commonsense. Being
unconvinced Of the justice of the pros
ecutor's case, he made time for judi
ciai investigation. which revealed a
condition of affairs debating the hon

this case hasty justice would have
done irreparable injury to an innocent

The Way to Build More Houses,

Wnen DullQerS agree uuueI Sne
Untermyer housing plan to do con-
struction work at no profit, manu-
facturers of materials to supply arti-
cles at cost and insurance company
lenders to provide mortgage money,
that is some help. It is not all, for
it is still up to the needed labor to do
its part with a. reduction in the labor
costs. Then the community will be-
gin to correct the housing shortage.
What is asked Of organized build
ing trades labor as its contribution
to the great program to produce new
dwelling accommodations in New
York for $4,000 families. or more
than 100000 persons, is a wage con-
cession Of a dollar day man. II
this is forthcoming as labor's share
for the benefit of labor, since the
dwelling places are to be largely for
occupancy by wage earners' families,
the huge job will get under way in
short order. If lahor's share is not
forthcoming the emergency relief
plan cannot be worked out, because
the only war costs that still continue
in the construction field here are
labor costs, and in the building in
dustry the all important factor is
labor cost.
What that dollar day man
means in costs, interest, taxes and
rents is easy to see. In the average
dwelling place of New York, whether
it is a house by itself or an apart
ment in big building, there are
anywhere from 1000 to 5000 days Of
labor. This represents an average OF
from six to ten men on the job for
periods ranging all the way from $50
days to 800 days.
If 1000 days OF labor to the aver
age dwelling represents q fair run of
the whole. merely the 81 for each of
the days amounts to $4,000. Now
every dollar or labor, like every
dollar of masonry or paint or win
dow glass or whatever the material
may be, must work itself into inter
est charges, must work itself into
tax bills, must work itself into
insurance and depreciation charges.
So every dollar Of labor must
work itself into the rent which pro
vides the money to meet the interest
payments, the tax payments. the in.
surance payments and the deprecia
tion payments. .e
An interest rate of 6 per cent, q
tax rate of 21s per cent. and an in
surance and depreciation rate Of S1a
per cent. all put together make a
charge of IL per cent. on every dol
lar Of labor that goes into a house
This IL per cent. on the $4,000 OF
labor either added to or taken from
the average dwelling place calls for
s240 a year or $50 month. If labor
sticks it on it is $50 month more
rent to be paid. II labor takes il
off it is $50 less rent to be paid.
This has been the reason enough
housings we're not built and could
not be built when the labor cost
alone of building an average dwell
ing place has called for a higher
rent charge than the average oceu
pant of the average dwelling place
could afford to pay. Readjust the
wage costs along with the Other
costs, which are minor to the labor
costs. and the houses will build. I,
is the only way.

Huge Losses of the Packers.

The story behind the losses reported
by the packing industry in 1921 is not,
as may at first appear, a sequel to
the losses suffered by agriculture, OF
which the packing industry is an
appansge. Crop values in 1921 were
written down from $4,000, ,000.0 in
1920 to s5.675, ,000, 900, the total value
Of live stock marketed in 1921 was
written down to s1.9SS, ,000. 900 from
the 1920 value of s2,913, 900, 900, ac-
cording to the Governments fig
ures. This meant total loss to agri-
culture of $4,27o. 200, 600. But 1t does
not follow that the packing industry
vas Debated because agriculture was
acfiated.
In explaining the business turn
over of s600,o00,0oo on which Armour
K Co. of Chicago took a loss OF $751;
709,S17 last year, compared with a
Ss0o,000,000 turnover and profit Of
s5.319,975 In 1920. J. OGDEN ARMoUR,
president of the company, said that
1921 was the most disastrous year
in our business history" and added
that 'never before was our utter
helplessness in the matter OF affect
ing prices better illustrated"
The tanning business and the
canned fruit and vegetable enter
prises carried on by Armour G Co.
(. piled up big losses. Mr.. ARMouR ex-
planned, and the inability to sell in
European markets was another great
: handicap.
> Swift G Co. reported loss OF $780,
900 900 on turnover of $500, ,000, 900.
LOUIS F. SWIFT, president of the COM
pany, attributed most of the loss to
I the marking down of inventories
early in 4 the year. Neither OF the
: companies ascribed its losses to the
deflation of agriculture. On the con.
frary, the Swift sales in dollars
}, dropped s3oo,ooo,o 200, hut the decline
in tonnage was only s per cent
: Even considering that 3,000,000
/. fewer meat animals were marketed
in 1921 than IN 1920 by the grow
= ers. tho falling or In the shipments
Z was not considerable. the decline
being from 39,0oO,000 head to 36,.
100000, or only about per cent
! This explains neither the plight OF
4 the live stock raisers nor the losses
suffered by the packers.
1t is necessary to look elsewhere
for an explanation. In this Mr.
ARMOUR gives the clew. The by
product industries were hard hit
' But the greatest loss was suffered in
products remaining unsold in Europe
z in America the demand was good
:, As an instance OF this the metro
politan markets of New York. Phila
delphia and Boston may be cited
According to Government figures. a
total OF 100000. 900 pounds Of fresh
meats was disposed Of in these cen
ters in 1921. an increase OF 106,
100000, or about z per cent. more
than in 1890. But exports OF meats,
excluding byproducts, declined from
S2e,OO0,0oO pounds in 1920 to 620,
100000 pounds in 1921, or about Is
per cent.

TRANSPORTATION REGARDING
 BAT BOOSTS, CORRECTED

-r ttWill banish insects with trained bats, says Federal expert" is the title of misleading half column article appearing in many of the recent pa pers over the country. It is based upon an interview with Vernon Bailey chief field naturalist of the Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture, in which the writer was given some we'll known facts regard ing the habits of bats, which he might have read in any of dozen books on mammals. To make a thrilling story the writer embellished these facts with numerous unauthorized state
 nents, misquoted the information giv- en, and conveyed the impression that artificial bat roosts would afford remedy for mosquito pests. The arti- cle has not the sanction of the Biolog- ical Survey or of MT. Bailey.

A True Fish Story

A naturalist, writes James B. Thor sen, in one of his clever insurance let ters, once divided an aquarium with clear glass partition. He put a lus- ty bass in one section and minnows in the other.
 The bass struck every time a min now approached the glass partition. After three days of fruitless lunging aWhich nettd him only bruises, he ceased his efforts and subsisted on the food that was dropped in. Then the naturalist removed the glass parti- ton. The minnows swanm all around the bass, but he did not strike at a single one He had been thoroughly sold on the idea that busi>ess was bad. There's a moral here-taize another shot at the partition. Maybe it isn't there any more!-The Recorder.

WHAT'S YOUR REACTION TIME?
 NEW QUESTION FOR AUTOISTS

What's your reaction time or dc you know the value of your personal equasion?"
 This has been suggested as possi- ble question to be put to applicants for motor vehicle drivers license, ac- cording to the Bureau of Public Roads of the Department of Agriculture. Reaction time is the interval of time that elapses between the instant a sign or signal is seen and the neces- sary action started. A driver starts to pass another vehicle when suddenly a third vehicle appears which may block his path. The driver must de- eide whether to pass the vehicle or drop back. If his reaction time is slow he may not realize the danger until too late to avert an accident.
 Every astronomer who observes when a star crosses hair line in his telescope and presses a key so that the time may be electrically recorded knows that he does not observe the fact and press the key at the same time. A correction has to be made which has carefully been determined and is called his personal equation. It varies with different people
 Timers of a foot race with split second watches will frequently get different results for the time of the race.
 The reaction time of some people is very slow and undoubtedly is the cause of many accidents. Does the public safety require that such people be denied drivers licenses? The Blu reau of Public Roads is not vet ready to advocate such a policy, but consid- CTS that it should be investigated as a possible safety measure.

BABBITTS STORE ROBBED
 SUNDAY NIGHT, DEC. 17TH.

Sunday night Rabbits store was entered by burglars in the most uni que manner, as the intruders slid down two heavy ropes which they had suspended from the skylight. A smaller rope, which they had remov- ed from the flag pole of the Forest office, was also dropped into the store from the roof opening and evil dently served the purpose of hauling up the loot. Finding the doors of the stores too well locked to permit exit, the intruders again resorted to the ropes and were either drawn up thru the skylight by an accomplice or else being men of very clever and expert criminal tactics adeptly climb ed up hand over hand. Manager Geo. Spe1lmire is convinced the theft was committed by hardened criminals who had carefully laid out plans in a systematic order not apparent in the case of amateurs or hoboes. Goods of only the highest priced lines were taken, including fine leather suit case, guns and two suits of clothes, wool and silk socks, best of shirts and such articles appealing to the man of good taste. Other than a few foot prints, the discarded sales tags of the stolen goods and the ropes left hang been found which the Shreiff and his men from Flagstaff might use to work on.
