NEW PROBLEM FOR LABOR

Only a complacent, n-thinking cit
izen will overlook the revolution now
on in industry.
Attention is again called to this
silent upheaval by new progress
which will turn out as much iron IN
30 minutes as $50 puddlers can turn
out in an entire day.
The ancient skill of these refiners
of iron is destroyed and they are
thrown on the streets.
The self-satisfying claim that work
ers can enter other industries will not
suffice. The "other" industries are
also victims of the same revolution.
Even such unskilled callings as ROAD
making and sewer digging is being
done by the machine.
Many of these workers, it is pointe
out, are operating gas service stations
and hot dog stands, but this not ere
ative labor, 1t is no solution to turn
the nations wage workers into serv-
itors.
We are yet at the threshold of the
automatic-machine age, Inventors and
to develop machinery and processes
that will dispense with human labor
power.
If they fail, grim necessity will
force them to act that unemployment
insurance, old-age pensions and d
shorter work week may be assured.

NAVY COST
Is Burden to Peoples OF
World

Washington.-The cost of navies is
a heavy burden on nations that is
increasing with every new discovery
in warfare, said Secretary of State
Stimson in public statement.
Even a modern 10,000-ton cruiser
cost more than double the original
cost of the library of congress, he
said. The library ranks first in the
Western hemisphere and third in the
world in the number of volumes. The
building, located in this city, is ono
of the most beautiful in the world.
A modern capital ship, continue,
the secretary, costs between $35 1000,
900 and $40,000.000. He said tha
the program of the department Of
navy for new ships alone will bs
$1,170, 100000, in addition to operat
| ing costs, in event President Hoover:
naval reduction policy fails.

New York.-The recent meeting of
so-called "progressives" in this city
who plan to meet 'the crisis in the
labor movement" is the old game un-

The writer says this revolt (mean-
ing the so-called progressive
movement) is almost as old as the

ASK FIVE-DAY WEEK

Plasterers in Indianapolis and vlcln-

day week contract with the employers
Association. Stipulated in the con-
tract is a clause which provides for
the weekly pay on Friday nights. The
Plasterers' Union with four other un-

since May on fve-day schedule but
no permanent contract has been en-

if no agreement is reached with the
employers the workers possibly might

that the employers will continue tbs

Congress ordered that the next cen

the Senate, but met strong opposi-

and of the American Medical Associ-

Under rules laid down by the
American Bar Association, or its
Connecticut representative, the state
of Connecticut declares its purpose
not to admit graduates of certain
schools to practice in that honorable
commonwealth. The schools hit by
the rule are mostly night schools and
1T does not appear that their students
are in any way inferior. The main
count against them appears to be their
inability to attend some great big
school that operates in the day time
and costs more money.
The American Bar Association
can and does make the rules under
which it becomes possible or i'm
possible for a young man to be-
come admitted to the bar.
How does it get that way? Be.
cause it is very tight, well organized

The American Medical Association
is no less tightly knit and no less eff
fective. 1t is no less hard boiled in
applying discipline, either.
In Chicago there is a medico who
has given lot of time to clinic for
poor persons. He advertises TINS clinic
and it cuts rates to those of small
means
What the Medical Association has
done to him is enough, for the time
being. He has been read out of the
organization and any medico who is
thrown out like that is nothing less
than in sweet kettle of cells.
Presumably we have state boards
to regulate the practice of law and the
practice of medicine, just as we have
laws governing the practice of plumb
ing and electric wiring.
But actually the state doesn't gov
ern law and medicine. The two big
associations do it all and he who bucks
them bucks worse than buzz saw.
The people are slow to tumble to
the power of these two colossal mo-
nopolies, though they rant like every
thing when union gets any real
strength, misunderstanding the diff
| ference between the two.
The American Bar Association, no,
content with laying the lash on recall
citrant lawyers, is jockeying for {
! position as boss of the whole business
of law making. Some of its moves
have been only thinly veiled. 1t woulc
! like to become the Great Umpire OF
all things having to do with law anC
it would like to bring within the
realm of law great many things that
others have since time out of MIND
fought to keep outside that sticky
realm.
Both organizations bear mucl
watching. DR.. Harris Fishbein, presi-
dent of the Medicos, berates fellow
doctor for advertising his clinics
wares-and prices-but he himself
writes daily for the papers, which is
advertising par excellence, if any such
there be.
If by some subtle or other process
both of these arrogant and power
greedy outfits could be given totally
unprofessional kick in that place than
which no other is so tempting to the
bestower of kicks, it would be well for
the peace and dignity of the United
States and the plain people who are
the inhabitants thereof.

Why Not2

Grace was home for a holiday. School

Mother planned several treats, among

That's all. You can do as you please"
There was really no reason why the
child should not have been allowed to

her mother had said Visit your aunt

to be taught to wait on their elders.
That is no way to teach them to love
their elders and their relatives. 1t Is
very good way to teach them the other
story. No one-sided argument will suf-
fee to keep harmony in family. Unless
the father and mother plan from the

children are adOlescent
Why had not this mother asked her
daughter what she would prefer to do?
Had she talked it over with her and
planned the holiday, there is no doubt
that the child would gladly have shared
her pleasures. Some grown people think
their dignity suffers by asking child
what he would like to do, or what he
would like to have, or what his opinion
on family questions is. They forget that

children without losing their confidence

Why not ask child what he wants to
do? Why not give him chance to say
what is in his mind? To be sure 1t may
be very foolish. Very likely from a
grownup standpoint 1t would be. But
what of it? 1t is child's opinion given
for what 1t Is worth to him, and that Is
a great deal. 1t is to be respected even
when it cannot be followed.
But unreasonable people cannot see
this. They want to think for the chill
dren, act for them, talk for them, live
for them until the time when they grow
weary of the burden and turn on the
helpless children and berate them for
their helplessness. Why not give them
a chance to express their views and to
experiment little?

Irregular Teeth.

Some time ago I read one of your
articles in which you wrote about hav.
ing teeth Strengthened by means OF
braces. My teeth are healthy and
strong, but they are very irregular.
wanted my dentist to replace them
with false ones, but he said it would be
a crime, and that the only thing I can
do Is to wear a brace for about three
years, and then he can't guarantee 1t
to work. Is there any other way to
straighten the teeth? Mine are my
me very sensitive. MRS. K"
It's too bad you didn't have your
teeth Strengthened when you were
child, Mrs. K. Most dentists now
teach that the sooner the teeth are
Strengthened, the better, for the younger
the child is, the more moldable is the
jaw, SO the more easily the teeth can
be pressed into place.
Oftentimes what appears to the par
ents to be extra teeth in back of the
others are the normal teeth, which
haven't room to come in their proper
position.
Irregular teeth in adults can be
Strengthened out, but only by braces,

and therefore more painful.
Chocolate Candy.
Mrs. Dyes, chocolate is a concen-
trated energy food.
A large part of the chocolate sold is
sold in the form of candy. but like
other candies it is mostly an energy
food. Chocolate and cocoa have an
active principle-theobrom (which is
similar to caffein. and with some this
has an unpleasant effect. However,
chocolate candies in moderate amounts
are all right for children, for desserts,
after they have had their full quota Of
necessary growth foods-unless they
have an idiosyncrasy to them. It is
possible, Mrs. D., that your cousin s
children do have an idiosyncrasy to
them. That wouldn't apply to all chill
dren by any means.
Deodorants.
Mrs. M.-Bad odored perspiration

(constipation) or other general dis
orders, or it may be caused by its
decomposition by the germ called

dorous little fellows are most apt to be
on the feet.
A good deodorant for excessive and
bad perspiration of the feet is a solu-
ton Of / ounce Of formalin to the
