Britain s Crisis

Half million textile workers strike in Britain
make our own warfare in that industry look insig-
nifcant
Strong unions dominate the Lancashire mills.
They are fighting against a wage cut by employers
who have been losing money for seven years because
Of changed world conditions
Competition by new cooIie-labor mills in India,
Japan and China and growing tariff walls in the rest
of the world has laid low the British industry.
COMPARED With that British problem our own is
simple
Our textile strikers fighting for elementary
right Of union organization civil liberties and liv
ing wage which other American industries have
granted and prospered.
The British strike reveals again the serious eco
nomic condition of Britain.
Not only the textile industry, but coal steel and
the other heavy industries upon which Brtains COM
lercal world supremacy we're based, must be Debated
to exist.
That is why the British government now is so
anxious to reduce naval expenditures.
Britain simply can not afford to go on spending
huge sums on warships, when so many of her in
dustries are struggling for life and so many OF her
people are close to the starvation point.
That is, she can not afford to go on with naval
building unless she is forced" by American COM
petition.
Under the circumstances, the Washington govern
nent should not find it difficult to reach naval re-
duction agreement with Britain
Fortunately when the British government last
week postponed part of its cruiser construction there
was man in the White House with the wisdom to
see that here was Americas big opportunity. Hoover
matched MacDonald's cut.
Economic want is forcing Britain toward disarma-
rnent If we will only match her step for step, some
thing may come of all this disarmament talk yet.

Grimes AGAINST Criminals

The prison outbreak in New York at Dannennora
and Auburn just as we'll could have happened in most
other states, and may yet.
Overcrowding, extreme sentences and reduced
privileges are given as the causes
Those conditions are not only the disgrace Of New
York state. but Of many others.
What can we expect? If We take away from a
man all hope of every kind and herd him in close,
foul confinement with others we make a beast of
him.
Even bully usually has enough decency not to
kick a man when he is down.
Why then must society take advantage of the
criminals it has bred?
The only justification for penalties and prisons in
civilized state is to cure the criminal if possible
and if he is ncurable to care for him permanently
for his own protection and for the protection Of
society.
If society stoops to revenge itself on the Grim
inal. society becomes criminal
And yet We go on filling our prisons fuller with Sc
laws. without making provision for proper
housing or treatment
Practically every official state and federal prison
report in recent years has revealed overcrowding,
with its attendant evils of immortality lowered morals
and forced association of first offenders with older
criminals making big criminals out of little ones
Increasing crime has Mortified the country, but
our only effort at solution has been heavier sentences
Of course that method. in itself can't solve any
thing.
If it could crime would have ended in the days
when men we're hung for petty theft

through the base of each leaf will make a spiral
around the stem.
There are several variations of the alternate ar
rangement, depending upon the amount OF turning or
spiralling between leaves.
Thus, in the corn plant. the spiral passes half
around the stem in going from one leaf base to the
'uext
In the sedges, however the spiral passes only one
third of the way around the stem between leaves.
In the apple and peach trees, we'll as some other
fruits trees the spiral passes two-fths of the way
around the stem between nodes.
These three arrangements are known respectively
as the two-ranked, three-ranked, and hve-ranked
arrangements.
When two leaves occur at each node, the arrange
nent is known as the opposite arrangement.
The leaves at one node, however, grow at right
angles to the leaves at the next node.
Examples of the opposite arrangement include the
lilac dogwood. maple an5 ash.
The third arrangement of leaves, in which more
than two grow from node, is known as the whorled
arrangement
In it. the leaves grow in circle about the node.
Examples are the wood lily and the Indian cucum-
Der root.
Go into your garden and study the arrangement
of the leaves on various plants.
You will find that it will increase your enjoyment
of the garden II also will increase your ability to
identify plants
You will be surprised how much more your enjoy
ment of your garden will increase you get better
acquainted with plants.

Farm Relief PROGRESS

The federal farm board is acting with commend
able speed in sponsoring measures for farm relief At
the same time it seems to be proceeding carefully.
Meeting with representatives Of the wheat CO.
operatives in Chicago this week the board succeeded
IN reconciIing differences among various groups and
made preliminary plans for the establishment of
s2oOCoOoO cooperative marketing agency.
This central cooperative corporation will obtain
capital through assessments the wheat OF its men,
hers It will buy and sell wheat and it is hoped and
believed that in this way it will be able to stabilize
prices
The beard will stand behind it and lend its
thortv and advice.
Later IT may be found necessary to turn the
marketing agency into sterilization corporation of
the Kind authorized in the farm relief act but APP
parentlv the board hopes this can be avoided.
In the beginning the corporation will be super
vsed and assisted financially by the board Later it
is hoped this aid be withdrawn.
The American Institute of Cooperation, meet
ine at Baton Rouge La. is preparing to organize
national farmers group to be known as the National
Chamber Of Agricultural Co-Operatves. 1t would
start with a membership of 100000 farmers and
livestock aisers whose products last year had gross
value Of s2OOOOOOOOO.
Growers of wheat. cotton, corn and other major
crops will unite in a central agency which will han
die the broad problems of the agricultural industry
Heretofore. the basis of organization has been by
commodities.
The national chamber would cooperate with the
farm, board. and has been assured of its support,
Whether these measures will be of genuine value
70 agriculture time alone will tell Many cooperative
movements have failed Heretofore. however, none
has had the supervision support and financial as
sistance of a body like the federal farm board.
The policy of the board in directing its energies
toward the development and extension Of the CO.
operatives and its position that in the end solution
must come from the initiative Of the farmers them
selves generally will be approved.
Apparently there is to be process of organization
and development rather than the OF vast sums OF
public money in an effort to solve the problem OF
SURPRISES.

LAFAYETTE HONORED
July 81

NNE HUNDRED FIFTY-TWO
" years ago today, on July 81,
1777, congress bestowed the rank
of maj general upon the Marquis
de Lafayette, French general and
statesmen.
At the first news Of the American
revolution, Lafayette became en-
thusiastic for the cause of the
colonists Evading vigilant govern
ment officials, he fitted out a ship
and, sailing from Passages in Spain.
landed on April "a, 1777, at George
town, S. c., with eleven companions.
among them Baron de Kalb
Lafayette's arrival in this country
did much to renew hope Of the sup
porters Of the revolutionary cause,
who we're discouraged by many set
backs.
On July 81, Congress commissioned
Lafayette and he was attached TO
staff Of General George Washing
ton. who speedily came to regard
the young officer with the highest
esteem.
After serving with the revolution
lists until December, 1881, Lafayette
sailed for home On visit to North
America in 1884, after the conclusion
of peace, he was received with ire
mendous enthusiasm.

The Real Question

The highway commission will be permitted
to spend half million more dollars year on
wages for employees It has permission, and the
money. TO add 262 names to the pay roll.
Due largely to the efforts of material max
ers. the commission has at its disposal about
twenty millions of dollars to spend each year
on roads.
The political activities and protectorate Of
these dealers over the highways have resulted
in increased taxes on gasoline and a burden
to the public that is as large for this one de
partment as is the general fund from which
the state government is operated.
While if is true that the department
promised not to Increase the list of employees
or the pay roll if given large additional funds,
the addition may be necessary and good
economv.
If those who are employed work at the
Job and work for what they are paid. no one
can object to the increase.
If the additions are made for political pur
poses and the increases given for political serv-
ices there is a very grave objection.
Waste of highway funds, if there be waste,
Will not be large if paid for labor.
But there are deeper questions involved that
demand more serious attention.
4 state that pays twenty millions of dollars
year for good roads ought to get really good
roads They should stand The tests and abuses
10 which they are put. They should last for
long period of years instead of being in con-
slant disrepair and needing maintenance after
two or three years of service.
The condition of many roads which have
been used from FIVE to seven years indicates
that the type of roads has been wrong and that
the people, if the present specifications are fol-
lowed. must expect to rebuild the roads every
fifteen years or pay such sums to keep them in
condition as to make any reduction of tax bur
dens Impossible.
There arises also the question of the cost
Of material Huge quantities are purchased
each year. If money is to be saved, the estab-
hshment of state cement plant, operated by
the labor from over-crowded prisons, should be
investigated.
Economies are never effected by poor wages
or by shortage of labor
Real economy in road building can be OBJ
tanned if more permanent construction Is
obtained and state-owned plants for the manu-
facure of material are established.
It would be shame if the twenty millions
spent each year do nothing more than create
new sources Of continued expenditure for
repairs.

HOT WEATHER-
Tight Shoes Cause Foot Trouble

Thus, the editor of the London
Lancet says: Mans boots and shoes
may be bad, but if SO, what epithet
of depreciation is strong enough for
the shoes Of women? Now that all
females are ladies. the workers
among them have aped the fashions
which we're popular with the
wealthy idlers Of past generations
who rode in carriages and did but
little walking on their high heels
and pointed toes"
Almost any type of shoe that the
human being may wear is likely to
force the big toe out of position by
squeezing it in toward the other
ties. The ancient Greeks and Ro-
mans wore a sandal with a thong
between the big toe and the first
toe which helped to keep the big
toe in its proper place.
Very soon after one wears con-
stricting footgear, one loses the
power Of moving the big toes out
ward from the rest of the toes. The
stiff-soled shoe helps To cause
atrophy of the muscles of the foot

T DON'T want to reopen the argu-
IL ments Of the last election or, to
be more accurate, I realize that
much as I might enjoy it, others
would be bored.
Nevertheless, one factor in the
fight takes on additional irony with
the passing Of time. I refer to the
widespread feeling that AL Smith
was not suited for the presidency
because Of an insufficient command
Of English.
The current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post reveals the Governor
as the most expert writing man who
has run for the presidency in our
time. This is a somewhat restricted
compliment. The competition is not
so hot.
Warren G. Harding, for instance,
could not place in a high school
essay contest. In spite of the praise
showered on Calvin Coolidge for his
more recent magazine features, it
seems to me that his style is wooden
beyond mercy.

and very soon one has the inflamed,
distorted object that passes for a
foot in most human beings today.
Dr.. John D Adams insists that
the first shoes of the infant should
be like a paper bag with just enough
shape to make it possible to call the
device a shoe. The material should
be soft white kid, with flexible I'M
resisting sole and with draWstring
OF tape at the top.
Since custom demands some con-
formity to style, the shoes between
the ages of 2 and 5 should be suf1-
GENTLY broad to allow the toes to
assume a natural uncompressed
weight bearing position.
The shoe should have a we'll
shaped heel, sufficient depth from
the vamp in the middle of the foot
to the middle of the sole, a broad
flexible sole with straight out
side.
Up to 3ia years Of age. the heels
should not be any thicker than the
sole; from 31a to 5 years the heels
should be twice as thick as the sole.

ORGY of Extremes

A T present the penal system
n throughout America rests
largely on emotionalism-excite-
ment, hate, tenderness, thirst for
revenge.
During one administration, we
have an orgy of pardons, paroles,
honor systems, and other devices
which come under the head of re-
form.
During another, we have just as
great an orgy of habitual criminal
laws, severe sentences and hard
boiled treatment.
One extreme succeeds the other
in grim and regular sequence.
Meanwhile, no one knows exactly
what. or how much. is being &C
complished through any method.
