Happy and Contented

He is happy in his work" you have heard that said of many who have gained recognition for their efficiency.
 Are you happy in your work?
 To render best service the employe with ambi-' ton and ability to accom- plish must bring to his task enthusiasm, skill and love of doing his best.
 Don't remain . where you are if you're discon- tented. It is unjust both trsyourself and to your employer. And it doesn't pay, when you can be contented so e silly. Every man and woman should seek their proper position In life and most of them-all the up-to- date ones - find them quickly through, the clas- siied ads.

Parking and Traffic

TN EUROPE you see tiny one-man
L autos. America will develop similar
small cars to help meet the problems
Of increasing traffic congestion. So pre-
diets Roy ID. Chaplin, addressing con-
ference of auto makers.
No, he is not joking.
In fact, there already is distinct ten
dency that way The percentage of small
ears manufactured in 1924 was greater
than ever before.
But the real traffic problem is not in
size of cars or in street facilities.
The primary problem in cities is
PARKING, which blocks the highway.
DARK a row of cars along each side
L of a street in the congested dis
trict, and the effect is the same as If
the width of the pavement were reduced
by half or more.
Prohibit parking in downtown sec
tions, and in effect the pavement is
doubled in width.
1t is exactly the same as on sidewalks,
where traffic becomes blocked unless
pedestrians keep moving. On occasions

Modern Babel

A LOT Of money-30 million dollars.
n That will be the cost of the biggest
building in the world, Chioago's forth
coming Temple of Agriculture. A sky
scraper. of course, is chiefly a monument
to high land values which force tenants
up into the air.
The great Huxley half n century ago
said of America: Il cannot say that
am in the slightest degree impressed by
your bigness, or your material resources
rs such. Size is not grandeur, and ter
ritory does not make a nation. The great
issue about which hangs n true Sublimity
and the terror of overhanging fate is,
What are you going to do with all these
things?"

such as a circus parade people lolter
and the walks become almost impossible.
You know this, for you have showed and
twisted thru the crowds. You do not
mind il occasionally. but as a steady
thing II would be out Of the question.
Ya, that is precisely what is per-
mitted constantly in nearly all cities,
TT is true that complete prohibition Of
L parking in congested districts
would be inconvenient 10 the parkerS.
But the cumulative effect on parkcrs
would be only fraction of the incon-
venience caused 10 general traffic by the
parking now tolerated,
II is Just question of time until the
downtown streets will have 10 be made
highways exclusively, with no parking
privileges except possibly IN hours when
traffic is at low ebb
Water cannot flow readily thru n
clogged pipe. Nor can traffic flow
smoothly thru streets that are 90 per
cent monopolized as private garages.
Surely this is common sense.

Why We Need Ii
ratifies the child labor
- amendment.

CALlFORNlA ratltleS the child labor
- amendment
Bully for California,
She is the second state 20 ratlty.
Louisiana, North Carolina and Georgia,
i'm the heart of the child labor territory,
have turned down the amendment, as
was expected.
Arkansas has sided right,
The Washington legislator takes mp
the amendment at this session.
Legislators are being urged by the
Manufacturers association TO reject II.
WomenS organizations, educational
organizations, welfare organization
in fact every organization which con-
SiderS child something more than a
meal ticket are urging the legislators
TO ratify.
Farmers organizations are against
the amendment They say that fear that
congress will seek TO prevent lS-year-
old farm boys from helping out their
fathers on the farm.
The amendment is not n law, and pro-
hibitS nothing. II is merely an enabling
act. II is not aimed at the farms, but
would remove small children from body
breaking work in factories and larger
children from the more dangerous oc-
equations.
The chief argument against the raft
fication of the amendment, as il has
been put up TO the Washington legisla-
tors, is that this states child labor laws
are all right-that we need no additional
laws and that we therefore should let
well enough alone. I'VE don't want the
federal government getting its hand in
to our state laws" the manufacturers say.
Section . of the amendment provides
that power of the states is unimpaired,'
except TO prevent their falling below
certain minimum standards.
Washingtons laws are all right. They
will stay that way. The government will
make no effort to change them.
But the ratification of the Washington
legislature is needed to give the federal
government power TO go into those
states where children are not given a
chance, and TO enforce federal statutes
in those states so that children there
get the same chance you want yours to
have
That's why Washington should ratify
this amendment.
