JUDGE 1T BY ITS FRUITS

What sort of future citizenship is
being created by child labor in fac
tories and commercial plants?
Nine out Of ten of a group of $500
working children in Philadelphia rec
entity studied were found to be in
blind alley" occupations.
This is revealed by bulletin just
issued by the White Williams founda-
tion in cooperation with the junior
employment service of the Philadel-
phia board of public education.
The bulletin describes a study of
1900 children between the ages of
fourteen and sixteen, three-fourths of
whom were in manufacturing plants
and one-fourth in commercial estab-
lishments.
Less than one-third Of the children
were in jobs calling for memory or
judgment, and only about one in ten
was in an occupation requiring any
training or length of experiece to be-
come an expert.
No specific training was being re-
ceived in 40 per cent of the manufac-
turing and in 20 per cent of the COM
mercial occupations.

the American economic situation. The
board sees no sign of a slackening of
prosperity. 1t observes an upturn in
industrial production after some
months OF decline. continued growth

a growth in the volume of trade.
1t is, OF course, impossible that all
prices should continue to rise indef-
initely. There must be eventually a
reaction. When such a reaction comes
sharply and suddenly 1t Is because of
some extraordinary happening, war or
disaster. or a widespread and severe
climatic disturbance affecting agricul.

A Wise Action.

Traffic Director Eldridge is to be
congratulated on successfully clear
ing up congestion at the intersection
of Fourteenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue without the use of the
Objectionable curb turning plan.
With left-hand turns banned and
with traffic officers allowing an inter
val between change of signals for
pedestrians to reach safety, this busy
corner now ranks with the best reg
ulated traffic intersections in the city.
Safety zones have been installed next
to the car tracks, which are not only
out of the way Of automobile traffic,
but provide'the maximum Of protec.
ton for the walker.
In the successful elimination of the
traffic scheme at this point, Mr.. Ell
bridge has pleased both the walker
and driver; traffic moves smoothly,
and every one Is contented.
The traffic director, in deciding to
abandon, temporarily at least, the pro-
posed experiment in curb turning,
was doubtless guided by the wave of
public feeling against . change In the

The District Budget.

The District Commissioners are to
confer with the director of the budget
on the 24th Of this month on the Dis
trict estimates. They will urge the
submission Of local budget calling
for approximately $40 1000. 900 in two
allotments, regular and supplement
tary. They will show a long list of
urgent public needs to justify this
large expenditure, including projects
started but not yet fully provided for,
as well as new works requisite to the
proper development of the Capital
municipality.
In asking for this sum, 50 much
local purposes, the Commissioners
should proceed upon the basis of the
substantive law governing District ap-
preparations, which provides for the
division of cost between the District
and the Federal treasury at the ratio
of SO to 40. Upon no other basis can
the District possibly afford to finance
a 10000, 600 budget.
The presentation OF a budget esti.
mate OF $4,000. 600 to Congress upon
any other basis than the definite pro-
portion law. which presumably gov
erns. however often it may be set
aside as an annual act of exemption,
would be an indication to Congress
once more to finance the District on
a lump-sum basis. With a S40, 900 900
hef IN Ea -,
gle or a dual estimate submission, and
lump sum Of SO, 900, 900, such as has
been voted by Congress heretofore, the
District would be required to raise by
taxation S31, 900 900. which would re-
quire very material increase in the
tax rate and impose a disabling bur
den upon property owners
The Bureau of the Budget has juris-
dictien over the District estimates
upon the theory that they involve the
expenditure of Federal funds. IL the
definite proportionate te ratio principle
is maintained the Federal interest In
the size of the District budget is di-
rect and specific. IL the lump-sum
principle is to prevail 1t matters moth
ing to the Federal Government and 1t
should matter nothing to the Budget
Bureau whether the estimates run to
$40 100000 or to a larger sum. The
present hope is that the Bureau of the
Budget will strictly regard the law as
1t Is written and construe the District
estimates in terms Of proportionate
Federal liability.

vision and inspection. and that there
is now exercised a close scrutiny of
the sources OF oysters that are brought
TO market or shipped from State to
state. and OF the methods of handling
and transporting them.
This Is especially important In view
or the scare that was created last year
In various parts OF the country over
an alleged typhoid infection Of oysters.
Mr.. Radcliffe says that 1t can be as
serted today that oysters are more
sanitary and better than ever before
and that there is at least as sufffcie mt
guaranty of their wholesomeness as
there Is of milk, stra wberries, lettuce
celery and other foods not usually
cooked for consumption. II the oyster
be cooked, there Is a double guaranty.
Maryland leads the States, IL not
the whole world, In the production of
market oysters, with an annual har-
vest of 100000 bushels. The State
recognizes the Importance of the in
dustry, and Is undertaking to main
tain and to safeguard It. Virginia
ranks second to Maryland, producing
3.2S0,000 bushels OF market oysters
yearly and having her oyster farming
well developed. Virginia oysters are
widely distributed in the United
States. and some have even been
transplanted in the far-distant Ha.
waiian Islands.
The New England States of Rhode
Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts,
nave an annual output of about 1,75O..
600 bushels of market oysters, and the
New England product admittedly in.
cludes some Of the choicest oysters In
the world.
New York State waters contribute
l $50 900 bushels to the aggrerate ma.
tional output each year, while New
Jersey and Delaware waters WELD
about 100000 bushels. Production In
the South Atlantic States almost
equals that of New Jersey and Della.
ware, South Carolina leading with
100000 bushels. North Carolina com.
Ing second with $50, 600 bushels
Florida third with an excess of 400 :.
600 bushels, and Georgia fourth with
245.000. These States are awakening
to the value of their oyster harvest
and the possibilities of greatly increas.
Ing their yield.
On the Gulf, Mississippi ranks next
to Maryland and Virginia with an
annual harvest of 1855. 900 bushels
and Louisiana ranks sixth with more
than 1000, coo bushels. Texas produces
only about $4,000 bushels.
The Pacific Coast States are far be
hind the Atlantic and Gulf Goa SITS
with an aggregate production of but
$4,000 bushels yearly. The native -oys
ters are smaller than those of the
East, but are said to be excellent for
cocktails. stews, chowders, souff1es
roasts, etc.
Incidentally 1t may be of interest ia
know that Mr.. Radcliffe in his trea tiss
describes SO different ways of prepar
