Must Have Music
With Their Movies
Editor. Times:

Editor, Times:
Nothing was more shocking,
in my estimation, when I heard
the announcement over the ra-
dio of the fearful plight of the
musicians that are to lose their
positions at the different motion
picture theaters.
Just think what this means to
a family man at this time when
conditions are terrible in almost
every line of business. with so
many people not working, and
finding it hard to get work. To
think that they must suffer be-
cause their music until now has
helped to amuSe the public for
the benefit Of the theater-own-
ers. as it surely has grown day
by day, in spite Of other busi.
ness. failures!
For example, the picture at
the Fox, Common Clay" has
drawn crowds that packed the
house to the doors, with lines
waiting to get in at all times
of the day and evening. At
the Palace, "Sins Of the Chill
dren" drew the same crowds. At
the Earle, Metropolitan, and Co,
lumbia, the same crowds were
to be seen at all times. No
doubt some went without prop
er food in order to see these
pictures for amusement sake, to
stimulate their nerves, and help
forget their worries about their
own financial conditions. Yet
these people should consider
what they are helping to broad
en- in the motion picture field
is not helping those poor strug-
Cling musicians, who have put
everything into their music.
Think what sacrifices have been
made before they could attain
the glory of appearing in an or
cheStra. Then to lose all just
when things are going good for
the movies. With such packed
doors there cannot be many
losses. Must this go on in Wash
ington, the Capital Of the Unit
ed States, where citizens should
be an example Of loyalty to all
brethren in the working classes?
I know my family is a large
one, and they have never missed
seeing a movie at least three
and four times a week. There
fore I can assure you they will
refrain from going to the
movies as will all our friends
who follow us in our rights Of
justice. It is up to the public
to better these conditions.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

-Dy Ii" LOuIS E' OtSCA1
Influenza is especially impor-
tant in childhood because Of
its possible complications.
Not all cases, to be sure, have
such complications, but involve
ment in the lungs and in the
digestive tract are common.
An uncomplicated case usu-
ally lasts two to seven days
when it is mild. There is fever
and pains in various parts Of
the body and occasionally, vom-
iting. Now and then cough and
a "cold in the head" accompan-
les the trouble.
Although such a mild case
may be over quickly, so far as
acute symptoms are concerned,
a child may be weak and ane-
mic for weeks afterward.
Instead of the temperature
being only around 101 or 102,
it rises even to 106. Usually,
however, it does not stay at
such a high level, but varies up
and down from day to day.
The prastration in the latter
type of case is very severe. The
child is very "toxic," as the
doctors say, due to the poison
Gus products of the influenza
germs.
Nervous symptoms are usual
ly to be seen and even cases
with convulsions have been re-
corded.
Headache may be a distress
ing feature of the disease. Light
hurts the eyes, therefore a dark
ened room is best.
Delirium is frequently met
with and sometimes the child
falls into a stuporouS state.
The pulse may be very rapid
and weak and the child appears
to be in imminent danger Of its
life.
In some severe cases pneu-
monia and even meningitis may
be suspected. --..

But AL, in horror, asks what
kind of a father would he be if
he let the kid make mess Of
his life-and invites us to ref
cree.
So here is your chance.
What's the answer?
HAS A FATHER THE RIGHT
TO PICK THE PATTERN OF
HIS CHILD'S LIFE? Is it his
DUTY to select a career which
he considers honorable and
profitable, and force his boy
to follow it, regardless of the
youngsters desires?
OR HAS A BOY THE RIGHT
TO CHOOSE HIS OWN CA
REER? And suppose he wishes
to serve Beauty instead Of
Butter m Eggs? Suppose he
chooses to be poor and obscure.
but, in his own way, happy
what then? That is against
the American tradition. Abra-
him Lincoln might have ap-
proved it-you never could
count on Abe-but Calvin Cool
idge and Herbert Hoover would
certainly discourage it. Would
YOU? SHOULD you-if this
were your boy and you were his
dad?
You have an opinion? Then
tell it to the editor Of this
paper. He wants to know-and
he'll pass it on to the world.

Glider Development
By Archibald Henderson

When the aerial train ap-
proaches San Francisco, the
glider containing passengers and
mail for that city could be de-
tached and glide down to
earth. This experiment has al
ready been successfully at
tempted, the glider descending
gently to earth from a dirigi-
BILE to which it was attached.
The locomotive for the aerial
train might, Of course, be either
a dirigible or a giant o'''"@'ane.
The process described above
might be repeated at each Of
the cities for which the different
gliders were destined.
BY placing all passengers and
mail in the gliderS, the locomo-
tive airplane would be enabled
to carry a much heavier load of
fuel than at present, when it is
weighted with fuel, passengers
and mail.
Whether in peace or war, the
use of glider and airplane, as
vehicles Of transfer, would en-.
able a passenger to change from
one dirigible to another, for ex-
ample. Gliding down from a
dirigible. going from New Or
leans to New York, for .ex-
ample, the glider might effect
a landing at Washington.
Then the passenger, quickly
changing from glider to air.
plane. might mount into the air
and be transferred to a diri-
gible, already in flight and on
its way, say, to st. Louis.

The recent development Of
popular interest, truly world
wide, in air gliding is a phe-
nomenon of great interest and
significance. It was given great
development and vogue in Ger
many in very recent years and
it has now international popu-
larity and support.
At first it was thought of as
a popular sport and as an admir-
able preparation for air pilots
who planned going in for avia-
ton. 1t is a delightful sport for
boys and girls, and skill in the
management of the glider can
be very readily acquired.
The recent developments in
gliding indicate important pos
sibilities for the use Of the
glider in transportation. Gliders
have been trailed behind an
airplane for great distances,
with entire success.
This clearly points to the like
1ihood of the use of the glider as
a single car of an aerial pas
senger or even freight train.
They can, doubtless, be used, in
numbers, as trailers to huge
airplanes.
The airplane is the locomo-
tive; a series of gliders, attached
to it. would trail along behind
like a train of cars.
A huge airplane. with six
g1iders trailing behind, each
carrying passengers" and mail,
might take off from Seattle
bound for New York, via San
Francisco, Denver, Salt Lake
City, Chicago, st. Louis, and
Rochester, for example.

The sorters were little out Of

themselves out of apples and as a re-
suit having to take holiday from
Tuesday noon until Wednesday noon.
The theme song Monday was "Sort-

young man CALAMITY climbed onto the
roof and draped piece of canvas
gracefully over the skylight, much to
the relief of those who objected to
taking a shower bath while working.

turned out 1913 boxes. And that's 60
