BERLIN. May Germany'a
monthly imports OF southern fruits.
heretofore classified as iururies. arc
amounting TO more than $4,000 900.
This fact. revealed by tho National
statistical office. has led 20 protests
OF banks and business houses against
tho utilization Of foreign curTencles.
so badly needed by industry In gen.
erai. for payments OF this nature.
Sterilization OF tho mark brought
with I, a certain wave Of spending
for Injuries which. since the war, had
virtually been lacking In Germany.
As n result. markets nre now over.
flowing with oranges. tangerines.
lemons. dates. bananas. pineapples
and tho like.
This statistical bureau shows
among other things the following i'm.
ports for ono month In double cent.
ners: bananas e5s. oranges and tan.
Eerino is5.so0. lemons 2s.54i. Pine.
apples 1868. ohestnufs s.o2s. cocoa.
nuts 5.163.
Part OF this import came from
Italy. but about twice an much ar.
rived from Spain.
The fact that tho Spanish fruit.
growing business Ia so heavily IN.
vored is being criticized In business
quarters. since Spain has introduced
certain anti.fumplng duties in order

German food prices are still con.
tlnding at n high level. Coffee, but.
ter and vegetables are 100 per cent
higher than before tho war. while
eggs arc moro than 200 per cent
above the pre.war level. Clothing and
eating costs are excessive. but rents
are gradually being placed on the
pre.war basis.

BY The Way

Another hero of the labor haters
falls. Sheriff Don Chafin, car of
Logan county, West Virginia, long
notorious as foe of labor, is SEN
fenced to Atlanta penitentiary on a
Bookkeeping charge.
Thus passes Sheriff Don and peans
of thanksgiving arise from the West
Virginia mining communities, which
have just cause to fear the well press
ACCENTED overload of Logan.
That Sheriff Don will ever "come
back" is improbable. If he had been
convicted of shooting a union miner,
his "glory" as a labor batter would
not have been dimmed but rather en-
HANGED. Chafin, however, was found
guilty of conspiring to run a speak
easy" which savors little of the heroic
but instead smacks strongly of the
bOotlegger who plies his profession
under cover of darkness.
In sentencing Sheriff Don, Federal
Judge McClintic, who is not regarded
as q friend Of the miners, paid his
respects in no uncertain language to
the sheriff and his tryannical rule,
The judge charged that Chafin had
been responsible for the denial Of

forced to play IN The streets through
lack Of Fairgrounds runs into the
thousands annually. For adults, the
monotonous nature Of modern work
in factory and in office make provi-
sion for recreation in spare time a

On organized labor's attitude to-
ward city recreation, Samuel Com
pers wired the Recreation Congress
last year as follows: conditions of
our time call for wide spread extern
sion of constructive recreation facil-
titles for both children and adults.
National vitality, well balanced and
happy citizenship can be thus
founded and industrial workers

life satisfied. The greater leisure
won by them gives the coveted OPP
portunity for indulging in those actiy-
tiles which mould body, mind and

called this years recreation CON

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 3d.
Matthew Vol, vice president Of the
American Federation of Labor, was

the board of directors of the Play
ground and Recreation Association of
America, will also attend the con-
gress.
The object of the conference is to
discuss more effective and far reach
ing plans for the enriching of spare
time through recreation in local COM
munities. In several hundred cities
and towns there now are committees
or commissions providing recreation
Leadership and facilities. Many of the
recreation systems are administered
and financed by municipalities.
Despite the steady progress of the
recreation movement in the last fif-
teen years, there are still over four
hundred American cities of 5000

Barney Cohen, union man and en-
ploye Of the United States Employ
ment Bureau, has been getting his
name in the papers by solemnly as
sorting that the American Federation
Of Labor cannot control the FIVE mil
lion votes it claims and that the in
telligent workers win vote for Cool
idge and Dawes.
Cohen knows perfectly well that the
A. F. of L. has never claimed to con-
troll the votes Of its members and he
must be endowed with a colossal
''nerve" to charge that it makes any
such claims. 1t shows that he thinks
the public win believe any wild state
ment he choose to make.
Cohen is equally mistaken when he
declares that the intelligent workers
win vote for Coolidge and the labor
hating Dawes. The intelligent work
ers have carefully studied the records
and platform Of the various candi-
dates and a very large portion Of
them win vote for LaFollette and
Wheeler. They will do this, not be-
cause they have been urged by the
American Federation of Labor to sup
port the Progressive candidates, but
because they believe with the Fedora
ton that La Toilette and Wheeler best
represent the great producing masses
of the country and that vote for La
Toilette and Wheeler is q vote to
abolish corruption in our Government
and bring it back to the people.

It will not surprise progressives to
learn that George S. Ward, head of
the anti-union Ward Baging Co.,
is active in soliciting funds for the
Republican campaign.
Ward recently wrote to baking and
allied interests asking money for the
Coolidge fund. 1t was one of many
sent out by heads of big business as
chairman of Republican fund com
mittees appointed to look after
various groups Of bankers, manufac-
turers and brokers.
In seeking to line up big business
behind Coolidge, Ward and his nom

URGES SPANISH STUDY.
Prof. Doyle Tells Western Students
Value of LANGUAGE.

The value and place of Spanish in
American education was stressed by
Henry .Grattan Doyle. professor of ro-
nance languages of George Washing
ton Cnive sity. at an assembly of
Western High School students this
afternoon in the school auditorium.
Learn languages for your own and
your country's good" said Prof.
Doyle. THE mani who knows two
languages is worth two men.
Thine spent in the acquisition of
modern foreign languages Is time well
spent, particularly at the present mo-
ment, when the United States needs to
have as much knowledge as possible
cf her sister nations in order to de-
eide to what extent she shall partici-
pate in their affairs and undertakings.
No accurate knowledge-not to men,
tion a sympathetic knowledge-of a
foreign nation is possible without an
acquaintance with it's history, its life,
it's culture. That knowledge can best
be gained through the medium of it's
language and literature. The young
American who has such q knowledge
Iof any of the modern languages and
|literatures is therefore in a position
ito perform a patriotic service to his
less fortunate countrymen by acting
,as interpreter of the foreign culture.
Only after having had trustworthy
|evidence based upon intimate study
should we attempt to judge a foreign
civilization for good or evil, and such
intimate study is impossible unless
we get at the mentality and psy-
chology of the race concerned No
cursory examination can do this"
