HIGHER STANDARDS DEMANDED
". O. COSTELLO,
Manager

President Hoover's defense of the high
standard of American living in his
speech at Cleveland Thursday night, is to
be commended.
A prior discussion at the bankers con-
vention which the President was ad
dressing, had advocated a lowering OF
standards as a means of improving the
economic condition Of the country.
In no uncertain terms Mr.. Hoover OBJ
jected to the theory and asserted 1t is
typical of America to keep striving at all
times to improve the standard of living,
"by the adoption and conveniently wild
ening diffusion of invention and dlscov-
cry among the whole Of our people
Who, for instance, would want to ask
women to return to the back-breaking
labor of the washboard, because a wash
ing machine costs money, or to the
broom, because a vacuum cleaner re-
quires something of an outlay?
Why return to the pick and shovel.
when the steam shovel can do the same
work better and quicker. or to the strain
ing toll of hundreds of men when a crane
lifts the greatest weight in a moment?
Americans demand and will continue
to demand, the latest in labor and time
saving devices. They are quick to seek
and adopt means which will provide bet
ter and more healthful living conditions.
There might be material saving to the
man building home and omitting bath
room, depending upon the old-fashioned
wash tub and Saturday night ceremonial,
but where will you find anyone today
willing to do it?
Old Dobbin in his box STALL munching
his oats, was once the standard of afflu-
ence but today Americans who never
could have afforded his maintenance, can
travel further, faster, oftener and more
economically in the family car than the
old time wealthy horse owner could. and
they can take the entire family along too.
The idea of lowering living standards
is so ridiculous that it merits laugh
more than serious discussion.
Economic troubles of Americans are
not due to seeking higher standards OF
living. They might better be charged to

seeing no one about, she walked up
on the porch Then the first thing
Fluffy saw was 2 seashell which
Mrs. Longears had brought up from
the ocean beach where they had
spent the summer.
.'Oh. what a cute place for i

she went inside the seashell, whlc Il
was quite large. The little chicken
girl cuddled herself up, Strengthened
her feathers and, before she knew Ii
size had fallen asleep in her new shell

met Uncle Wiggily Just as he was
hopping out to 60 adventuring.

While Uncle Wiggily and the hen
