From its breeze-swept heights, approached
over several paved streets from downtown. The
HIGHLANDS commands superb view of San An
tonios natural beauty and teeming life. Its summit
(175 feet higher than Houston Street, reveals a
complete panorama of the city and surrounding
country.
To the north are the water towers of Fort Sam
Houston; lying along the northwest horizon are the
far-away hills wrapped in the purple haze of dis
lance; nearer nestled in the valley along the river
banks are the tall buildings of the business district;
and crowding to the very feet of The HIGHLANDS
are the comfortable, well-kept homes Of thousands
of San Antonians. Toward the south, the view is
fringed by glimpses of fertile fields.

REVIVE OLD SLOGAN
IN OPPOSING GARYISM

Trenton, N. 1.-The Trenton Times
suggests that workers revive their
old slogan of half century ago in
opposing Judge Gary's 12-hour day.
Eight hours for work, eight hours
for sleep, and eight hours for recrea-
tion and self-improvement,' was the
popular slogan of working men half a
century ago when protesting against
the sun to sum and IL or 13-hour
day that prevailed in some sections,
and in some of the industries at that
time," says the Times. "It should be
revived now in protest against the at
tempt of the steel industry to keep
it's 12-hour day. 1t should not be
necessary in these times for any man
to be compelled to labor IL hours of
the "a in order to earn living for
himself and family. And it is not
necessary for the steel or any other
industry that 12-hour shifts shall be
maintained. That is too much like
human slavery, and slavery was abol-
ished in this country 60 years ago"

FRIGHT is MORE
FATAL THAN STARV-
ING, HE SAYS

New York.-Persons lost in the
woods or imprisoned in mines die of
fright instead of starvation, where
there are no other causes of death,
such as accident or suffocation, said
Dr. Hugh w. Conklin, of Battle Creek,
Mich, at convention of osteopaths
in this city.
DR.. Conklin said he reached this
conclusion because of his experiments
in testing epileptics by method of
fasting, in which he found that the
human body can go for a long period
without food without any sensible
diminution of it's powers. He said he
had caused 73 epileptic patients to
fast for an average period of 32 days,
during which time the patients walk
ed an average of two miles a day
without overtaxing their strength.

BUYING WORTHLESS STOCKS
That American wage earners lose
$5O0,Oo0,000 each year through the
purchase of worthless stock, is the
statement made by Management and
Administration, an engineering mag
azine.
One reason given is the cost of sell
ing securities to those who have only
a small amount to invest. The high
est grade securities are marketed on
a small margin, while the wilder Sc
curities the bigger the margin allow
ed for selling.
There ought to be a lesson some
where in this story for workers; but
it is probably best to let each pick
out his own moral. Anyhow the fact
seems to be that workers get a royal
stinging when they go in for gam
bling on sure things
Of course for every person that
gets stung there is somebody that
does the singing, but merely crying
about that isn't going to save any
body's money.

1T JUST SNEERS

Everybody was glad to hear of the
cut in water rates. There isn't any
thing that reaches all our people like
our water supply, so naturally all are
interested in its costs. We said
everybody is glad for the cut, but we
are wrong. Everybody is glad but
the Hamilton Daily News, and the
News is now sore because the mayor
has taken some of it's thunder away
that the News expected to make
GOOD use of in the coming campaign.
The News sneers at the water rate
cut and says the cut coming at this
time is for political gain only The
News sneers at the decreased cost,
it was all set to howl at the cost as
it was, and it would have raised h
if the cost had not been increased,
so what in the name of all that's holy
does the News really want?
What does the News want you ask.
Well tell you what it wants. The
News is a political organ. One of
those kind that thinks the party which
it represents, like the king, can never
do wrong. The News sole desire is
to build up an immense political ma
chine in the interest Of it's party and
as a nucleus to the machine building
would fill the offices in the city build
ing this fall with it's party members.
Whether for the good of the city or
not, that is but second thought. The
party first. That's the upshot of the
News big noise. The News doesn't
rejoice in the big saving the decrease
in water rates means to the people of
Hamilton No, Stree, Bob! The
News would rather had the rate in
creased so that it would have more
ammunition for the big election cam
paign this fall
The News hollering about increased
rates forgets that it's own subscrip-
tion rate over the pre-war rate is
100 per cent higher, and that its adj
vertising rate is 200 per cent higher
than before the war, and no one hears
Of cut in rate in that neck of the

LESS LABOR DEMAND

Albany, N. Y.-June reports from
state employment Offices and manu-
facturers indicate that the increase
in the demand for labor has been
checked, says State Industrial Com
missioner Shientag. He says "a very
satisfactory condition of employment
prevails in this state, but there is a
sufficient supply to maintain the de-
sired production except in a few
lines"
Employment office reports indi-
cate very good balance between the
labor supply and demand in skilled
trades The chief shortage is in COM
mon labor, but in one district it was
reported that the untitled demand was
largely from employers who would
not pay the prevailing rate of wages"

INDUSTRIAL COURT
FATTENS UP RECORD

Topeka, Kan.-The free employ
ment unit of the state industrial court
is fattening its weekly reports in the
hope that this will prolong its life.
Most of the jobs handed out by the
bureau are for a few hours. work,
such as moving lawns or washing
automobiles. For other work, wages
in many cases are ridiculously low,
and workers are threatened with ar
rest if they refuse to accept this en-
ployment. Certain industries that
are in favor with the court have little
trouble in securing workers, while
farmers who need seasonal workers
are having difficulty.
