vlded into sharply competitive fields,
and subject to influences that tend to
limit its market. Until the funda-
mental ills of the industry, treated as
whole, are grappled with success
fully either by the industry itself or
| by the government, or both, preoccu-
patton with the humanitarian phases
of the problem can accomplish little
of a constructive nature.
''At the same time the economic
ills of the industry do not constitute
an excuse for the failure to consider
the demands of social ethics"
The report declares that the use of
injunctions in labor disputes has been
carried to absurd lengths.
1t says: when a corporation seeks
and a court grants an injunction re-
straining a union not only from acts
which are illegal and wrong in them
selves, but from ordinary routine ac-
tivities, such as the peaceful recruit
ing of members or the disbursing of
relief funds in time of strike, the So
cial effects are bound to be injurious
| "The same is true when the iniunc-
ton is used to protect an individual
contract that is contrary to the work
er's legitimate interest. The bitter
ness and the sense of oppression and
injustice which these practices entail
not only foster industrial strife but
furnish a powerful incentive to the
violation of court orders"
Right to Organize
Regarding the right to organize, the
report says:
"It is now we'll recognized that la
Dor unionism rests upon valid claims
to security of status and that con-
tractual relations between employers
and unions offer definite possibilities
for improved industrial relations and
for incresaed stability.
"These results, it is true, are not
always realized. Any system of hu-
man relations may be vitiated by a
lack of good will or if practical wis

formance do not indict the principle

POVERTY BLAMED
FOR CHILD'S ILLS

Washington.-"Poverty is the prin-
cipal cause of sickness and disease
among workers children" said Will
liam Green, president A. f. of L., in
a radio address under the auspices of
the American Child Health Associa-
ton.
"The child who suffers from poverty
is helpless; it is a tragic victim of its
parents economic Distress" said the
trade unionist. Poverty is due to a
number of causes. Sometimes it is
traceable to illness, old age and de-
pendency, but largely to unemploy-
ment and low wages. This presents
a problem which must be solved if
children's i'll health, resulting from
undernourishment and impoverish-
ment, is to be eliminated.
''The workers can not buy the nee
essary food and clothing, nor can they
provide decent housing conditions for
their children unless their income cor
responds with their domestic and fam
lily needs. Health, happiness, home
and home environment for millions of
workers children depend upon wages
and income.
"Organized labor's position is sus-
tanned by experts, scientists and gov
ernmental authorities, who show that
infant mortality in the homes of
workers has increased or declined in
direct proportion to the increase and
decline of income. If we are to save
the children we must abolish poverty
resulting from low wages and unem-
ployment."

Scope of the Press

Will Rogers, philosopher in cap and bells,
nightly confesses to his audiences that all he
knows is what he sees in the papers"-and
he is representative of a tremendous army.
The newspaper is the sole source of informa-
ton and knowledge for that vast multitude
which limits its daily reading to one or more
papers. And the great majority of those who
10 not limit their reading to the newspapers
turn elsewhere only for entertainment, depend
ing upon their paper to keep them informed on
the economic, political, scientific and social
state of the nation and world
In any issue of representative American
newspaper one will find reports from the scien-
lists, survey of economic and political condi-
tions, graphic picture of all strata of con-
temporary society, summary of current his
tory and a mirror of the wit and humor of the
times. To the seeing the modern newspaper
is magic crystal in which the gazer can sec
the world pass before his eyes.
Into each newspaper edition is condensed
hundreds of current events without geograph-
ical limitation, the essential portions of the
writings and utterances of the day, and the
latest addition to the "sum of human know-
edge"
If society is better informed today than ever
in the past it is because there are more news
paper readers.

Of airplanes piing up even greater distance in

time than it takes to get breakfast, the aver

A new camera device, developed by Japanese
technicians, acts with such rapidity that even
the revolutions of turbine wheel, 10000 OF
them in minute, may each be impressed upon
a plate without even blur. And if there were
an Alice in this modern Wonderland she might
be privileged to see this wonderful machine
actually photographing air, pictures of which
have been already shown to engineers in the
United States and elsewhere
What field for speculation one may find
in this new invention. If superspeed CAM

wenty-four-hour contract, the result at the
end of the day would be the trifling production
Of 1,728,O00O0O pictures. It would have to
work only few minutes of overtime in order
to produce, from sunrise to sunrise, pictures of
every person in the world.

A Western Hope
(Nnw YOrk Tinnsl

For twenty years the northwest, with the
exception of three men, has not added much
national material to the Democratic party
Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota died at
time when it was felt he was coming to be
among presidential probabilities. John Burke
Of North Dakota wound up what seemed
wider prospect as treasurer of the United
States. Senator Walsh of Montana is still
prominently in the popular eye, but he is the
only Democratic northwesterner who is.
Therefore the party is regarding with more
and more interest A. Scott Bullitt of Seattle,
who came within few votes of defeating SEN
ator Jones, Republican, last fall, and who, &C
cordlng to newspaper reports in the state Of
Washington, has more than an even chance to
be elected governor this fall. The Republ-
cans are divided over Governor Hartley, who
has announced his intention to run again, and
Mr.. Bullitt seems to have distanced his fellow
townsman, Judge Stephen J. Chadwick, by hav-
ing been selected as temporary chairman of the
Democratic State Convention in April.
If Mr.. Bullitt is nominated and elected as
governor, a new and colorful national figure
will have arisen in the northwest. His ances-
tors were the settlers both of Virginia and
Kentucky, and his direct progenitor was COM
missioned by Patrick Henry to govern the Vir.
GINA county which became the state of Ken
lucky. He is a graduate of Princeton, where
his campus fame has persisted to this day, and
in Kentucky he occupied several offices which
he filled with distinction. Removing decade
ago to Seattle, Ito convert the heather there
he has had unusual political success and plant
ed the banner Of the Jeffersonian tradition
well north of "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight"
The general newspaper comment on his can
didacy is that he is pro-Smith and wet.
Neither of these soft impeachments has Mr.
Bullitt admitted. but there seems to be no
doubt that the Smith adherents in Washing
ton are strongly committed to him and that he
is their choice for delegate-at-large to tn
Houston convention. A northwestern Demo.
crat who has made so much stir would if elect
ed governor Of 9 strongly Republican state, un
questionably attract national party attention
in 1882. A wet Protestant Kentuckian from
the northwest would hold an obvious appeal
for the Democrats in the next few years.

THE NEW AMERICAN PLAN

THE NEW AMERICAN PLAN
Many changes have been made in
our dietary habits from the days
o. the diet of the American Indian
and early settlers to our present
common plan of seeing how many
kinds of food and how much we can
use at each meal.
The response to these health and
diet articles is so tremendous that
| know the time is fast approaching
when we will have evolved a new
American Plan" of eating, where
the diner will carefully consider each
meal from the standpoint of the
quality Of the food used, the quantity
Of each Kind, and the way these
foods are combined.
Hundreds of thousands of readers
hove written to me asking for sen
sible diet lists. All such CORE
spondents have been replied to, and
other letters from these same cor
respondents encourage me to be-
lie that the majority are trying to
follow a systematic plan of dieting
which will assure them better health.
The weekly menus being published in
this column each Saturday are being
followed by millions all over the
North American continent.

OF great encouragement to them. In
many cases these letters tell Of the
cure of diseases through following
these diets after many other methods
OF treatment had failed and their
cases were given up as hopeless.
Those readers who have been only
casually reading these articles will
surely be surprised and delighted
if they will just try living for a
week or two on the menus which arc
recommended in this column each
Saturday. Just try the simple egg
toast, and stewed fruit breakfast
the plain but delicious luncheons, and
the sensible, appctizing dinners. 1t
surely will not be very hard to try
this dieting for a week or two, as
enough variety is offered, the meals
are not expensive and are, indeed
thoroughly satisfying.

valuable information attached to the

less than $500 net income you're
fortunate for two reasons. The
second one is that you needn't file

Are You a Machine?

The things that men boaast of sometimes

France, died the other day at 80. 1t was his
especial boast that during his long career he
never had missed day at his office. This
was record of which he was highly proud.
Industry doubtless is one Of the higher vir-
tues; but there is something almost terrifying
in the though of M. Cognacq's devotion to his
business To convert oneself into machine,
running with monotonous regularity, consunl-
ing countless columns of figures taking over
the functions of cash register and filing cabi-
net, hardly seems the highest possible develop
ment for which a man may aim.
We have all read enough copy books to know
that life is real, life is earnest" But the man
who refuses to spend all of his days in toiling
and getting-the man who insists on his heav-
en-born right to loaf occasionally-has never
been praised half enough. There are times
when idleness is a great virtue.
For here is the unfortunate thing about a
life like that Of NJ Cognacq: Just when you
have reached the acme of efficiency-just
when you have become fully reconciled to the

forcing your nose-your life comes to an end.
And whist have you had? Nothing that the
