'oday Dangerous Strike
 Situation. Proclamation No. 2
 Needed. Borrow and Invest Now. An Economical Pope.
 By ARTHUR BRISBANE


 The strike situation in the United l States is more serious than the public 1 knows. It threatens country. most gravely. The President real izes the serious situation and is de- voting his time to it.
 He Is invited to consider presi- dential proclamation addressed to those that own railroads and coal mines, supplemenung the original proclamation addressed particularly to the working people.
 The railroads say they will not take back men that have gone on strike. The President might say to them, You are public servants, that have been feeding on the govern ment and on the people for years. Without the money that you have taken from the public purse, three quarters of you would now be bank rupt. It is not for you to decide what you will do but for the people whose common carriers you are. to reach that decision.
 T represent the people and after arbitration and investigation. I shall let you know whether or not you will be allowed to use this strike situation as a club to break down unionism in the United States by es- publishing the rule that men once on strike shall be no more employed"
 Railroad and mine owners, the ma tority at least. happy in the know ledge that they can easily make up their strike losses by over charging the public later, are undoubtedly using this strike as a weapon in their crusade against unions,
 The President is not old enough to of the locomotive engineers. But he knows about 1t.
 And railroad owners know about 1t. They remember the lesson they got from labor then or they ought to. If they insist on forcing this strike to a desperate issue they may bring upon the nation a disaster as bad as war.
 Some plain and public talk to own CTS of railroads and coal mines by the President would be welcome and useful.
 John Fl. Perry. fighting lawyer and newspaper owner. in states far apart as Florida and Oklahoma, says:
 '-Tell business men that this is the time to branch out and use their credit The dollar is bound to go down. Buy now with 100 cent dol lars and owe the money. You will be able to pay with 50 or 40 cent dollars In few years" That's true, probably. Use your credit for wise investment or expansion.
 Plus xI, who lives more simply than any pope in recent history and all recent popes have lived very simply--eats black bread and slaves himself That Is triumph for the safety razor. He has not discharged the late popes barber. not wishing to cause him sorrow. That barber mourns the old days when the bar Der and close confidant of the ruler was a second prime minister-olivitr Le Daiin. for instance, who shaved the lean face of Louis xI. and for a consideration. caused many a man to be promoted or hanged.
 To newspaper owners: The supply of spruce for making print paper win last about. 20 years at the pres ont rate. Agitate tax exemption dur ing 20 years for land now planted with the young spruce. After % years spruce lands could be cropped in such a way as to yield a revenue of at least s2o an acre. And the farmer could do that In the idle win ter time.
 < Mr. voliva says: When women hpfd office. hell is to pay. If my wife ran for office, I would run for | lake"
 If women had . larger share in dTs voiiva might find the lake more comfortable than dry land Women would not have much patience with a man who denies that the earth is round.
 voliva quotes Pauls Epistie. to Timothy: But I suffer not a woman to teach. nor to usurp authority over the man. but to be in silence"
 Women have rewritten that and Paul would vote for suffrage if he were here-
 The King of England appears st Westminster, making . speech from the throne and that doesn't moan anything. The speech has been writ ten for him and everybody knows if.
 On July IS. the King appeared at the Goodwood races. wearing a bowler" or derby hat in place of the regulation stove-pipe. That meant much. It means change in fashion and many mechanics out of work or adjusting themselves to new work. It means also step In the direction of common sense. But His Majesty should have worn soft hat Stiff tight hats produce badness, cut ting off the scalps blood supply. Stiff white collars undermine health, | squeezing the great blood vessels of the neck and pressing on the pnsu- magastic nerve. If the King would
