MAKING A CHARGE AT TOURIST
CAMPS
(Duluth Herald

The city council yesterday voted
city tourist camps fee OF fifty
cents day, and to limit tine stay
CT any party TO one week.
Many Will approach this step
with some hesitation, fearing that
II VIII be taken 10 mean lack or
hospitality to the tourists that the
city is advertising for.
But it doesn't at all mean that,
and The Herald believes that the
very great majority OF aitomobil
tourists Will see that it doesn't and
will approve the plan adopted b.
the city council.
For while ninety or more out Of
every hundred automobile tourist ,
are desirable guests, the very kind
Duluth wants, a tribe of tin-cau
tourists has grown up that are
they can get, stay as long as they
can where everything is free, are
not careful about camp conditions,
and are an annoyance to the other
guests as well as 10 the commun-
ity.
The charge Of fifty cents a day
will bar this type of tourists, be
cause what they are looking for IS
free lodging, and probably they
haven t got fifty cents anyway.
The limit Of one week is, no
doubt, applied for the same pur-
pose and in order that places need
ed by the visitors who rest for Il
day or two Before going on may
not be filed by steady boarders
who might stay Indefinitely If there
were no charge and no time limit

mean that each individual parent
which studies his individual child
shall take in the public schools:
At least, this is the ruling of State
Superintendent Will C. Wood, Of the
California schools, in response to re-
quired work in physiology, hygiene
and physical culture.
Parents who prefer other schools
need not send their children to the
public schools, but if they do send
them, they must take the required
work.
Any other course would be an
archy and chaos.
Why Wait Until Murder Is Done?
Don't be too sure there is any
such thing as harmless lunatic."
A man who ran away from Okla
homa to escape being put in a sani-
tarium, and beat his way to Cali
fornia, being locked up for observa-
ton several times along the road,
but always released as harmless"
finally arrived in California so
tanned that mischievous boy called
out "nigger."
So he shot the boy dead.
If these reported facts stand the
test of trial, nothing can be done
to him except to lock him up in the
asylum where he should have been
sent in the first place.
But what shall we say of civili-
cation that has to wait until some
body is actually murdered?

LETTER FROM MELVILLE SAR.
TORS TO LESLIE PRESCOrT


My Dear Mrs. Prescott: Nav |
have the pleasure of tending you the
stories of Michael Arlen.
Only that you have been so busy
lately with bulglaries and other SEN
satlonal happenings, am quite sure
you would have read these charming
stories
AS it is, | hope l am the first who
has presented them to your notice.
Because ! like them so we'll
especially the one called Charming
People, have had them specially
bound for you.
l ain sailing in about month for
Nice, where l shall remain for the
season and then perhaps 60 into
Egypt. As you know, my novels
are all of American life, but usual
~ go to some foreign country for
my atmosphere.
Americans in America are COM
monplace. Americans on the streets
or IN the bsZaars of Cairo are ro-

This morning with some vague
idea that l might get the nub of a
story took my roadster and drove
down the Main Street" of Albany.
All the girls were wearing coats
with fur around the bottom, where
it was only good for looks and not
around the top where it might pos
sible do some duty.
All the men were wearing bright
red neckties and Prince of Wales
hats. There was nothing about
them that would filipe the magma
ton.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

81 shall tell you the story of q
pair of old Shoes" said Mi o. Mi,
the Story Teller, to the Twins.
Were they magic?' asked Nick.
you may decide for yourselves"
said Mi O. Mi.
"Once upon time there were two
children who lived with their father
in very poor tenement house in a
big city.
"Mr. Emerson had once been a
soldier and gentleman, but some
way or other he had forgotten that
ne had ever been a person Of impor-
lance. He got discouraged after his
wife died and he would not work
his clothes got ragged and soiled and
ne made no attempt whatever to
keep himself shaved and neat.
"Mary did what she could at keep
ing the place clean, and even Jimmy
helped with the washing and ironing
and cleaning and cooking when
there was food in the house.
But often there was no food at
all, and at last two ladies came and
took the children away. Each was
to have a child to clothe and feed
and care for, and in return Mary
and Jimmy were to help as much as
they could with small duties about
the house.
But Mary worried and worried,
i wonder how Father is getting
along she would say to herself. I
wonder if he needs me- And then,
after a few days, she decided to go
back.
1T happened that on that day she
was helping Mrs. Hornaby to clean
out cupboards, and there was an old
pair of shoes of Mr.. Hornaby's to be
thrown out.
"'I'll give them to the rag-man
next time he comes,' said Mrs.
Hornaby.
MARY picked the shoes up. why,
they aren't worn out!' she said.
They only need new soles and a
little patch on the side. They are
quite splendid
".And, indeed, they were so much
better than the shoes she had ever
seen her father wear, that it was no
wonder she felt so.
$50 when she told Mrs. Hornsby
that she. couldn't stay, but would
have to 60 home, she added, May
take the shoes along, if you please 2
Certainly said the good lady.
And here are two dollars for a pres
emit because you have been so good
and worked so hard to please me.
If you ever want home, come back.
my dear 49,
Mary stopped at a shoemaker's
on the way home. She sat patiently
for two hours while the shoes were
being repaired. Then she took them
to a boot-black's and had then,

her father" a

the night of your party. Although
she looked so wistful and trusting,
there came into her eyes at times
alternate glimpses of determination
and fear that made me wonder if
you or anyone else really knew any
thing about her.
She was very young and yet per-
haps it was better for her to die
than to live under the cloud which
seemed to have settled upon her.
Her life was the kind which makes
good stories and perhaps when I

dubious honor.

ON HEALTH--
HOW TO GETRID OF FLEAS

through piece of cheesecloth into
large bottle. Use this with an
atomizer, spraying the localities in
the room where the fleas are.
Clean the room with carbolic acid
water, injecting it into the cracks
and lodges, and sweeping the floor
or carpet with it, and wiping every
thing with q sponge wrung out of
carbolic water.
A thorough treatment of the room
with naphtha, taking the carpets and
upholstered furniture out of doors
and saturating them with naphtha,
will get rid of fleas.
Sometimes . thorough sweeping,
busting and airing are all that is re-
quired to rid a room of these pests.

"Mr. Emerson put the shoes. on"

was able after a while to rent
little home with a porch and garden.
He never got discouraged after that.

The japanese question has quoted
down a bit so sunburn is now our

Life is so funny. This is the sum-
mer we wished for last winter.
The nice thing about most of us
is we can't be married for our money
or good looks either
The annual fish lie about standing
behind a tree to bait your hook is
doing as well as ever.
If YOU would be healthy and veal
thy and wise never laugh at a wom-
an with tears in her eyes.
Being too serious is very serious.
When system and good luck meet
system usually wins.
If there were no women, men
wouldn't have to work. This is why
we should be glad there are women.
Two heads feel better than one in
porch swing at night.
Only few more shopping months
before overcoats.
Our idea of nothing to worry ABOUT
all night is what we usually worry
about all night.
Half the fun of loafing is knowing
you should be working.
Opportunity passes by quicker
than the fastest auto, which is why
it is so hard to grasp.
You hear more people laughing in
small houses than you hear in big
houses.
Money doesn't talk very much an
til it grows up.
You can't say those north pole
explorers got cold feet.
The enchantment lent to summer
by distance has vanished.
Knees don't attract half as much
attention as they once did.
Be interested in yourself alone and
you alone will be.

Tariff May Not Affect Sugar
Situation

President Coolidge takes advan-
tage of the lowered price of sugar
to postpone action indefinitely" on
the three-to-two recommendation of
the tariff commission for a reduction
of the sugar duty. If the price goes
up again, the question may be re-
opened.
The trouble is that it is not GER
tain that, even if inordinate prices
should return, change in the tariff
would reduce them.
Our principal outside source OF
supply is Cuba. where the sugar in
dustry is largely held by Americans
combined more closely than Ameri-
can law would permit.
If the tariff goes down, their price
does not necessarily go down with
it. 1t is controlled by competition
not between themselves, but between
them and American and Hawaiian
producers.
A lowered tariff might not pro-
mote Cuban competition.
A maintained one might encour-
age American production, which is
the only real competition.
