Pretty Picture Tales.
But when the picture language has

tales, Dr. Waterman reports-tales
full Of the aroma of pine needles and

The bullhead. for instance, used to
be the most beautiful fish of all the
fish that swan the sea. .'.,.
But one day. while frolicking in
shallow water, poor bullhead met
Master Raven, walking along by the
shore
The two had squabble and Master

Family history is revealed by the
totem poles. One simple old lady
took a long trip once-down to Sit
ka. There she saw great white ship
the first time anybody in the village
ever had seen white man.
The little old woman hung upon the
incident her claim to fame. The to-
tenn pole in front of her old hut tells
all about it.
There is one pole which indicates the
beginning of the end. Below the carv-
ed figure of the eagle are numerous
figures copied from the walls of the
Russian chapel at Sitka, which the
first priests erected-the blessed Fir-
gin, st. Paul and others.
They were strange figures-there. in
the midst of the old forest gods. The
Smithsonian hopes to save something
of the old mythology before the new
Gods have killed II altogether.

miners. too, would lose money II the
market for it In the future were to be
weakened by increasing popularity Of
substitutes.
II is well to remember, In regard to
this matter OF using soft coal in place
of, anthracite, that President John l..
Lewis of the United Mine Workers
has gone on record as saying that
every principle of the union calls for
maintenance by its members OF con-
tract obligations and that contracts In
the bituminous fields require men to
stay in employment until next April.
This statement should assure pessi-
mists that the use of soft coal in place
of hard coal, which would in meas
ure lessen the strength of the strike
of anthracite miners, will be possible.
We should remember when we wor-
ry over the situation, that there is
above ground now four months sup
ply of hard coal and that most OF the
people of this city have prepared for
winter by filling their bins. 1t seems
likely that the amount of coal to come
here, small as it may be, will be suffi-
cient to provide for the % per cent
of people who are not thus prepared
or who will not hasten to prepare for
the cold.

BABSON,S LETTER

Many people have been waiting 10
see what an economic expert of the
reputation of Roger Babson would
have to say concerning the change
from the 12-hour to the S-hour day
in TIE steel industry, now that it is
beginning to come.
or course it is well known that the
necessity of keeping the furnaces in a
steel plant constantly in operation at
a white heat was the reason for con-
tinuing this 12-hour day. 1t is not as
well known, however, that even after
a recent investigation the steel mills
reported that they would continue on
this schedule in spite of the fact that
the hours in other industries had been
shortened. Apparently it was not until
the steel interests were convinced that
better results might be obtained in in
creased efficiency, that the change to
the three-shift plan was adopted. "Of
course" says Mr.. Babson, mo one ex-
poets the men to do in S hours what
they did in Il, but their efficiency per
hour should increase if the S-hour
day will do what is claimed for it"
In other words it seems TO those
who do not believe the men at the
head of the steel industry are phil
anthropists. that the 12hour day will
return, if the interests are able to &C
compiish it. if the increased efficiency
of the workers in the long run does
not bring distinct advantage to the
industry Mr.. Babson does not say
this. but a close following of his state
ments and trend of thought indicates
the fact to be that the change was not
prompted by sltruistic motives entire
ly.
The economist touches on the coal
situation, declaring that it has chang
ed suddenly from an economic to a
political problem. He believes there
will be no strike this winter. He thinks
the miners and operators may make
an agreement which will end before
next years election in order to put
the administration in hole, but they
will probsb bly, not ieopsrdize the stu
alton this fall owing TO the increasing

THE DAY NURSERY.

People of the city who have never
had occasion to make use of 1t be-
cause of their sufficiency of means,
probably can not realize what the
announcement that the Day Nursery
is about to open. again after being
closed during August for repairs will
mean to many people in the city who
have been able, because of it, to work
and earn living for themselves and
for the children and babies who are
taken there for the day. This is an
institution which should be moro fully
appreciated. The little ones know
it and find comfort and loving care
there. The workers know it and
their gratitude for it is great.
We are glad the Day Nursery is to
be opened again and that once again
it's practical advantages, to say moth
ing of the influence of it, is available
to those who need it so badly.

COMMUNICATED
More About Walnut Hill.
Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
Is it true that they are going to put
a night gown on Walnut Hill Park
and put it to bed every night? If
it is not true it seems so.
Ever since certain James Smith
came down from Hartford, which, by
the way, should have been his place
of rest and refreshment that day,
terest in aforesaid park. Also afore-
said park was left for the recreation
of the people.
With all due respect to Mr.. VAIN
wright, where would he or his as
sistants find work If 1t was not for
the scattering of papers, which hap
pens but twice a week. have lived
in the vicinity of the park for good
many years but never have seen any
person tear up papers into such
minute particles as one interested (D
citizen referred to.
Also since aforesaid James Smith

golf, a most noble game, has been
abolished. l am afraid that tennis
and baseball will be put aside too.
1t makes difference from which
side of the park you come, too. If
you have a pretty face and a winning
smile you can play tennis on the
courts with heels on your shoes, but
If you have no such gifts you are
promptly put off the court.
Referring to the man who disliked
having an ice cream stand: The
tenement people do not make ice
cream in their homes or yet, buy 1t
in such quantities as in homes of the
rich. These people bring their
money to the park to buy an ice
cream conc or soda, the children
wait impatiently for band concert

Heaven for him.

EUGENICS.

Attention is called to a story in this
newspaper yesterday in the news COL
umns under the head "Eugenics Pro-
gram Offered to U. s." The program
is offered by the Eugenies Committee
of the United States for the improve
ment of the people Of America. The
organization is composed of prominent
scientists, educators, churchmen, pub
lie officials and social workers and is
affiliated with a similar organization
with headquarters in London.
The report is too long to be dis
cussed here, but the point should be
be made that the aim is to improve
1.-The people of America. This does
not mean in any sense those of Amer
lean birth alone. 1t means just what
it says the people of America"
The fact that inbreding, for instance,
is referred to in the report as a dan
ger shows that there is no tendency
in it to declare that blood of other
races may not be necessary for our
own full development.
Those who remember that other
races have deteriorated and become
weak, and those who realize that the
people in America are not developing
etranrtb from peneration TO genera
ton, will be intensely interested in
this statement of the first attempt to
have a unified, coordinated, practic-
able and comprehensive scheme for
the conservation of human resources"

There seems to be no one to blame
in the case of the menu provided for
those whom necessity has forced to

it is reported, corn beef and beef were
the only meats provided and butter
was served but once day while milk
was used sparingly. The superin-

that the menu here was similar to

CRITICIZED. In its effort to keep ex-
penses down the board did as other
boards in other places are reported
to do, had served this sort of meal.
But now the board of charities has
issued orders to the superintendent
and his wife that better meals are to
served Much as those who have to
partake of those meals will appreciate
the change, it is quite probable that
the superintendent and his wife will
be as delighted to furnish them as the
former will be to enjoy them
This is matter which. undoubtedly
was not known to the people of New

people Of this city do not want those
at the town farm to suffer from lack
of proper food in proper variety Much
as we desire the greatest economy we
do not want to bring it by treating
these people shamefully. They, these
who live at our town home, are our
ncighbors. Our satisfaction that bet
ter care of them is to be taken is,
greater only than our distress because
of their having been overlooked. |
