UNIFORM THE STATE POLICE

We can see no earthly excuse for
a continuation of the practice of al
lowing officers in civilian clothes to
hold up and search automobiles on
the highways An editorial from the
Indianapolis News, copied with APP
prevail by the Roanoke Times in a
recent issue, upholds ip a striking
manner the great need for uniform
ing the force. 1.-The roads" it says,
ARE overrun with hijackers and ban
dts who make a business of stopping
law-observing motorists, and some
times of robbing them. Hardly day
passes that someone is not held up.
In some cases motorists have been
killed by these bandits and women
subjected to unspeakable indigni-
ties. The result is that the average
motorist is inclined to put on speed
when ordered by a man in plain
clothes to stop.-Norfolk Ledger
Dispatch
WHen the Legislature snail take
up this proposition to uniform all Of
ficers patrolling the highways, those
who may oppose such measure can
not quote from single newspaper
in Virginia in support of such oppo-
sition. We have not seen even a
communication published in Vir-
ginfa newspaper opposing requiring
patrol officers to be uniformed. The
proposition thus to distinguish Off
GERS who stop or seek to stop auto
mobiles on the highways is so plain
ly in line with every dictate of COM
mon sense that it is not surprising
that nobody should have spoken
against Petersburg Progress-In-
dex.

State Bureau Cites Widening Actiy

indicative of the rapid strides be-
ing made by Virginia in the manu-
featuring field may be cited the wild
ening activity of those manufactur-
ing plants throughout the State de-
voted to the business of making fur
niture. These according to the
State Bureau of Labor and Industry
number about forty, with an annual
output valued approximately at $780,
600, 900.
OF the thirty-four companies re-
porting to Labor Commissioner
John Hopkins Hall. Jr., eleven manu-
facture furniture yearly which is
valued at S1,000,000 or more. The
output of these plants is shipped to
all parts of the United States, with
large markets in both Florida and
New York. Commissioner Hall says
that more than 5000 employees are
kept busy at these plants, which turn
out a gross of from rs to 80 carloads
of furniture daily. or upwards of 8
carloads for each hour of the day
and night
The larger plants are located at
Martinsville, Waynesboro, Bassett,
Rocky Mount, Cambria, Pulaski,
Marion, Richmond, Altavista, Galax
and Chase City. The annual output
of plants at Bassett and Martinsyille
alone is valued at many millions of
dollars.
Certain plants make a speciality of
church furniture, school furniture,
one of pipe organs, another of cas-
kets for burial, while well known
firm at Richmond is engaged in the
manufacture of antiques" in the
way of tester beds and "old'' ma
hogany pieces. Several firms make
a speciality of cedar chests, sectional
book cases, ladies desks and radio
cabinets. majority of the factor
les devote themselves to the manu-
facture of household furniture of the
modern everyday type.
In Richmond there are two eating
houses, one furnished with tables

other with similar pieces manufact-
ured in Czecho-Slovakia This is a

Increase Travel
to the West Is
Forecast for 1925

Passenger traffic from the cast and
middle west to the Pacific coast j.
expected to be - 10 20 per cent
heavier in 1925 than it was in 1924.
This statement was made today by
{. l.. McFaul, assistant passenger
traffic manager, Southern Pacific
company who has just returned from
a trip cast where he conferred with
the company's Officers and travel
agencies in Chicago, New Nor!; and
other ccntcys.
While passenger traffic to the
west in 1921 was considerably un-
der normal, said Ny. NcFauh it was
nevertheless particularly helpful to
California because Of the unusually
large number Of those who came
west and remained here. \ check of
Southern Pacific tickets issued by
eastern lines shows that refunds
were issued on unused portions Of
5O76 tickets during the period from
MAY j. to December II, 1924.

PUBLIC LEADERSHIP

Bewailing the general lack of political leadership
today William Allen White says, in his Emporia Ga
Zette:
This world will prosper only when reason removes
the evils of the world Force conquer the evils
And reason will come to only through wise, toler
ant, courageous leadership. The best leadership of
the world is going not into politics. but into business
Politics in the world today is getting only the left
overs.'
1t does look So in many lands, and generally
speaking, it is in America. who say, asks the
Emporia sage nov attract great back into pol
itlcs where they ruled the earth half century ago.
That is the nut for preSent-day civilization to
crack. Government is really more important than 1t
ever before, capable of being important,
because it touches such interests and affects the
welfare of mankind in many different ways.
Some critics attribute the medioerity of pre-
sent public life the direct primary and lament the
passing of the oldtnle political convention Conven
tons possessing real power did train leaders, what
their moral defects 1t may prove wise to
modify the new system and permit more of the old
fashioned opportunity for organization and the WELD
ing of personal force in politics.
But that will not solve the whole problem. Per-
haps it will be solved until the public attitude
toward life changes again, and the abest grow
weary or dissatisfied with mere business and
turn with interest public for outlet
of their energies That will surely in time, and
the time may be nearer than we think.

.SLOTENLy. IGNORANT VIVES

The Salvation Army has had experts working in
% states investigating the of deporabe home
conditions among the poor. The reports throw a
major portion Of the blame for domestic misery upon
sovenly and ignorant wives.
Our Officers, says one leader every day meet
housewives who have never had needle in their hands,
and know nothing about repairing their chidren's
clothing; women who have never owned toothbrush
nail brush and make use of soap perhaps once
twice week; women who actually make practice OF
throwing away stockings and other garments soon
holes appear in them because they don't know what
else to do. These women know how to cook perhaps
or three dishes that their husbands get weary eat
ing
1t is dreary picture and pitifu one, of the
travagance of ignorant poverty Delegating drudgery
to others or reducing its amount by the of labor
saving machinery is right and efficient whenever pOss
ibe. But the good executive usually knows the details
of his business and frequently has reached his
tive position after period Of efficient performance of
drudgery and routine tasks. Home-naking and house
hold cement, too executive positions requr
ing knowledge and skill for their proper handling and
their drudgery is reduced by efficient practice

TINE TO SLEEP AND READ

Ramsay Macdonald, recently prime minister of
England, is taking rest and many who did not envy
him his position of power and responsibility might be
forgiven for envying him his present program.
He is taking a voyage to the West Indies. Just
before enbarkng he announced his intention to sleep
and read during that voyage. AS the Toronto Globe
remarks he is lucky Some people can sleep
only we'll but can't enjoy reading Some others can
read but don't sleep as we'll they ought to. Many
others do both but don't do either much they
should, because they let other things crowd out these
two important matters. But to be going on pleasant
voyage with the happy purpose of using the long hours
for reading and sleepng-how delightful.
However instead of wasting energy envying Mac
Donald, il would be just easy to budget ones own
time and, by little judicous eliminating here and
there to clear enough Understanding nonessen
tals to make in ones daily schedule for sleeping
reading, for any other onged-for recreation or
activity. 1t can be done.
Nearly everybody expects to make money in 1924
