get all smoked up because youV We
brushed your moral teeth and
washed your spiritual hide?
Why shoulud you feel that
you've Attained Merit simply be-
cause you've done the square
thing by yourself?
Any Intelligent, well bred per-
son will do Good Deeds just as
any intelligent, well bred person
will choose beautiful pictures,
lovely flowers, fine music, pleas
ant companions, interesting books
and all the other accessories
which make for richer life.
And he should expect no more
credit for doing a generous, kind
ly act than he would for select
ing a rare print or treating him
self to a delightful trip.
That good deed has been a de-
lightful trip, If it has been done
in the right spirit and 1t has
brought its own reward.
Then shouldn't we teach our
little ones to do good deeds?"
BY all means teach your little
one to be as human and honest
a citizen as possible. But teach
him decency exactly as you would
teach him any other form of
personal hygiene. Make him see
that God isn't going to declare
any half holidays just because he
wipes little Jimmy Jones' nose or
takes the tin can from Towser's
tail.
Above all make him realize that
the perfect finish to any sanitary
act, whether 1t be cutting the
nails or lifting your neighbours
mortgage, is to keep your mouth
shut about it forever after.
And perhaps If you will raise
young Willie with such an atti-
tude, there'll be few more civil
lized citizens down here On earth
and a lot more gentlemen In
heaven.

II this sickening practice were
confined to the Boy Scouts alone
It might not be worthy of the
rumpus / am about TO raise. But
it's all of piece with our highly
popular practice of Giving Our
selves Sweet Kisses For Doing
The Decent Thing. Our prayer
meetings are filled with the
cIamor Of people who want to
tell the world that they're lead
ing respectable lives instead of
wallowing in sin. Our rostrums
re.echo to the solemn plaudits of
Great Men who nobly resisted the
impulse to rob the baby's bank

And all of it makes me sick?
What's all the fuss about?
Why should anybody be handed
a bouquet for decent acts?
Why should we expect God and
the Republican Party to notice it
and chalk it up to our credit
against the final election day?
A Good Deed is an admirable
thing. 1t is also a delightful
thing. It's lots of fun. It's more
fun than a bad deed: It leaves
you feeling fresher, stronger and
happier. It adds to your pride
and increases your wallop. It's
the most profitable investment

time or strength. Evep IL you're

forced to issue denial of one of these
rumors he received joint proposal
from three young women i'm New

them his photograph; they would send
him theirs in exchange. and he could
choose from the lot. They declared
they placed no reliance on his protes-

lies entirely in the hands of New
England people.
The constructive interest of legis-
lators and the public toward the elm
nation of legislative inequalities has
not been encouraging There Is no
one thing which would more effective
ly revive the faith of New England
mill administrators in the future of
their respective enterprises than the
re-establishment of equal competitive
opportunities with the South with re-
spect to labor legislation"
The committee found that not only
the shorter working day but also the
legislative ban on night work by wom-
en- operated against the New England
mills in competition with southern
mills where this restriction did not OBJ
tain. The report contradicts the usu-
al assertion that the South has
great advantage in the proximity of
its mills to the source of supply. The
finding of the committee was that
transportation costs were less on Tex
as cotton manufactured in New Hng-
land and sold in New York than on
North Carolina cotton manufactured
in that state and shipped to the New
York market. Because of low water
ness to market was more essential
than nearness to raw supply.
The committe also found that the
same inequality of wages and work
ing hours existed between the new
mills of the far South and those of
1.-THE mid-South, in that the lower
standards existed in most southern
states.
The survey continues: Further pro-
duction of quality products in New
England depends not only upon the
introduction of the changes in pro-
duction methods and equipment but
upon the development of new relation
ships between labor and management
and new and more scientific methods
of distribution.
"The growing realization of organ
lied labor that restriction of output
offers no lasting solution to their
problem, the decrease in use of auto
cratic methods by administrators, and
the increasing body of evidence that
low wages are not conducive to low
operating costs, are all favorable
signs"

GIVES FINDINGS
Continued from Pace One)

the report continues, can a sound
basis for constructive competition be-
tween New England and the South,
in which success is rightfuIly meas
ured in terms of administrative abil-
ity, be attained. The accomplishment
of the first requirement has been eff
fected by an increasing number Of
mills whose higher labor costs have
been justified by the superior efficien-
cy of operators, resulting in a supe-
rior quality of output, which COM
mands a superior price. Quality here
refers to elements of style, artistry
and service as well as fineness of
weave.
There are several ways by which
a parity in the various legislative re-
strictions upon labor hours might be
consummated. The invoking of ma
tional enactment offers one method.
The introduction of greater restric-
tions in other sections offers another,
and present restrictions in New Eng
land might be modified Obviously as
the application of this last method
