Wall Street and the Tariff

wal OV1 CCV dllu Vic a.
It is not often that you find the voice of Wall Street
raised in favor of lower tariff duties. But the current
issue Of the Magazine Of Wall Street presents an editorial
which is as sharply critical Of the pending tariff bill as
anything that Senator Moses 'sons of wild jackasses
have ever said.
The editorial begins by asserting that a policy of pro
lection was needed by this country throughout the early
part of its existence; but it adds that times have changed
so that protection is not the boon 1t once was.
1--WE have had free trade on a continental scale, de.
spite the tariff barrier at the boundaries" says the mag
azine. Nov we require. not free trade, but greater
freedom of trade abroad. The policy that was good for
100 years will be a handicap in the future.
"The new tariff law will be recorded later as an act
Of folly-obstructive to foreign trade and contrary to
manifest destiny"
However, it might be suggested that if we can undersell
foreign manufacturers in their own countries, the tariff
we impose on their products will not matter much. In
that case economic law will regulate commerce. Any
how, the Magazine of Wall Street need not worry so
much about the matter. With unemployment such as it
is abroad, American manufacturers will be interested in
first seeing the foreigners produce and earn something
that will enable them to buy some of our products"
They are not doing that under our present tariff on their
goods, and the new duties can hardly make their situa-
ton worse. ..- . .~..M....

The Old-Age Pension

During the next decade or so the subject of old.age
pensions will come in for a lot more attention in America
than 1t has ever had before. That is putting it mildly, of
course. for it has hardly had any attention at all so far:
but in a few years it will be arousing a lot of discussion.
People are beginning to realize that the community has
a certain responsibility in respect to the support of the
aged. Nevertheless, an oId-age pension of any conse-
quence is bound to be highly expensive.
For instance: the Massachusetts, legislature is now
considering an old-age pension bill which, if passed.
would add a considerable load to the states budget. Yet
1t calls for payments Of only So a week to men over IS
and women over 60.
II Massachusetts, passes this bill it will be doing a lib
eral thing. Yet So is not a very stable income, any way
you look at it. 49, =

Unbearable Congestion

The City Club Of New York recently demanded the
establishment of a standard Of decency" for riders in
New Yorks subways and elevated trains, where fright
full crowding is the rule during rush-hour traffic.
AS a minimum standard, it urged that every standing
passenger. should have some handle or support that he
could hold on to; that every, standee ought. to have
enough room to be able to move his hands; that people
ought not to be jammed together so closely that their
faces are directly before each other.
This, Of course, means that those very modest require
ments Of decency are not being met now. The whole
thing sheds a bright light on life in a modern metrop-
oils. Who wants to live in a great city when he has to
be crowded like that going to and from his work every
day?

Editorial Comment
Canada and the Eighth Hour Day
Manitoba Free PreSS)

The international labor bureau and international la
Dor conferences, arranged by the League OF Nations, have
for their object the improvement Of working conditions
throughout the world. At one Of the early conferences,
q stand was taken in favor Of the eight-hour day. but
Canada, though generally in favor Of the objects OF the
international conference. was unable to put the recon-
under our Federal Constitution that is q matter tor the
provinces to deal with and the provinces were not all
ready to adopt such q law.
But while the. Dominion government cannot introduce
q national eisht-hour day. 1t can require that the eight
hour day be recognized on all work done by any OF the
departments or by contractors on government work. That
step is now being taken. Hon. Peter Heenan, minister Of
labor, has announced that legislation will be introduced
for this purpose and also to insure the payment of fair
wages. The present regulation in regard to wages is that
the rate paid ON all work for the government must be
equal to the. ddrrent rate in the locality where the work
is being done. The new legislation, it is intimated, will
provide for higher thar" the current rate in localities
where the current rate is regarded as inadequate.

does the patient become prematurely
senile? I am deeply concerned about
my daughter who was operated ON
for .goitre. Her health has been fail
ing since then. She has suffered
a complete nervous breakdown, fol-
lowed by fits Of insanity and despond-
ency. She has become gray, shuns
amusements, is often fretful, and has
developed the slow movements of q
very old person. I do so want your
advice"
Answer: II all of her thyroid gland
is removed the patient generally dies
within a short time. but If only a por-
ton Is removed it is possible that
enough remains to supply the need.
However, q lack of thyroid secretion,
does produce premature ageing and
may cause some mental disturbances.
Your daughter may have some other
condition a. well as the thyroid
trouble but, Of course, it is impossible
for me to diagnose her case without
first having the opportunity of ex-
aiming her.
A-ray and Admissions
!. Question: H. B. asks: Would the
microscopic x-ray show up definitely
q growth from an adhesion?",
Answer: It is seldom possible to
sec an adhesion with the X-ray, andl
likewise just IS difficult to see the
average tumor. However, the doc
tor making the microscopic examina-
ton can usually discover the pres->
ence Of adhesions and tumors by his
examination. The intestines are made
visible in. the x-ray through being
filled with a mixture containing bar
ium sulphate. The X-ray operator
examining his patient is able to find
adhesions through attempting by
manipulation to move the organs
from one position to another. When
certain organs are grown together by
adhesions the examining physician
can tell this because he cannot sep
arate the organs from the other
and because Of this arrives at his d.
agnosis regarding the existence Of

DRESSING FOR A

DHESSlNG FOR HEALTH
Since We are required by the die
tates Of custom to wear clothing, we
should learn how our clothes may az
feet our health, and which kinds Of
clothing are the least injurious, You
Know that In some of my previous ar
tieaes I discussed how the skin is q
living organ which requires light and
ventilation to be in the best Of health.
There is no doubt that in mild cli-
mates. the less clothing the better.
However, it is bad taste to display
certain purely physical parts of the
body, and we are therefore confront
ed with the problem Of wearing at
tractive clothing which will at the
same time admit air to the skin and
enough light to supply the body's
needs.
The old fashioned idea Of wearing
thick. heavy, dark clothing, whether
summer or winter, is wrong, and
should be discarded. The clothing
should be adapted to the season. y
The innermost clothes, worn next
TO the skin, should be loose enough to
admit air and soft enough not to ir-
ritate the skin. For this reason, cot
tons, silk or the new wood-fibre imi-
tatton silk are preferable to wool or
linen. Oddly enough, loosely worn
undergarmentS + often warmer
than tight ones, as the air between
the meshes is q poor conductor Of
heat and therefore retains the
warmth Of the body. This type of
Undertaking may be worn the year
round. In cold weather wear more
Of the other wraps to retain the body's
heat, SO that when you come indoors
where 1t Is warm, you may remove
your coat or sweater to suit the tenn
perature. For the outer garments
during the cold weather there is no
doubt that wooden materials are the
best. It has also been found that the
darker clothes allow the heat rays Of
the sun to penetrate better than light
clothes. For this reason 1t Is better
to wear dark clothes in winter and
light clothes in summer.
During the cold weather special
care should be used to protect the
legs and arms from cold because the
limbs have many large blood vessels
near the surface and II these parts
become too chilled, the blood vessels
are contracted and drive the blood in
to the internal organs, including the
respiratory. passages, SO that colds
may more readily develop.
It Is better always to have your
clothing 50 that it does not bind or
construct. Most clothes can be ar
ranged 50 that they are supported
from the shoulders. One should not
wear tight garters or tight belts. Dur
Ing the warm weather the outer gar
ments should be as light in weight
as possible. II too many clothes are
worn the skin is overheated and the
body is fatigued.
Whenever possible, one should wear,
clothes which are neat and attractive.
The style Of your clothes might not
seem to be a health problem, but 1t
is q fact that If you are well dressed
you feel q self confidence which you
never feel in shabby clothes. Cor.
rectly fitting and well chosen clothes
reflect the wearer'S good sense and
judgment. Choosing the right clothes

Navy Rewdyism Fading Out

Navy Rowdyism Fading Out
The recent visit Of the United States fleet to New York
harbor arouses certain reflections conesGuins the change
that has come over the sailornan.
All things must change, In this unstable world, and no
institution or profession is today what 1t was . genera
ton. or a century, ago; but it seems that the sailor
especially the navy man-has undergone a greater
change than falls to the lot Of most.
Consider 1t now. for q minute. The great fleet an
chored in the Hudson river and poured 10000 sailors in
to New York. The sailors had been on duty for several
months. and they were aching for a good time ashore.
Furthermore, the average COB had a stable pay check
coming to him when the liberty call sounded.
Now there was a day, not so many years ago. when this
would have meant that New York was in for a very rocky
time Of IT.. Our grandfathers would have blenched at
the thought Of $4,000 navy tars coming ashore from q
tour Of sea duty with q fat pay day just behind them.
There would have been riots and wild revelry, wars and
rumors Of wars. The shore patrol and the police would
have worked. overtime, the bars would have coined money
and the emergency. wards Of the hospitals would have
been TANNED to the doors: -
But what h~appened7 Nothing at all. Instead Of rush
ing for tho speakeasies, these 1890 sailors made for the
movies, the parks, the soda fountains ana the dance halls
mot. be 1t noticed. the rowdy dance halls Of the Old
Barbary Coast tradition. The shore patrol broke up q
few fights but they were the comradely. good-natured
fights that healthy young men always will indulge In, not
the bottle-throwtng. eye-gougtng affairs Of the old. days.
In other words. these $4,000 sailors were as well-be-
haved. essentially decent . group Of young Americans as
you could ask for. They were out for . good time. but
their notion Of . good time was rather surprisingly raid.
The rowdysn Of old was very conspicuously missing.
Now the point Of 1t all Is that it was not always thus.
In the days Of wooden-walled. square-risged navies the
sailor was at the bottom Of the scale, socially and other
wise. He had q bad name and-making allowances for
the tremendous handicaps under which he uved-he
fairly deserved 1t.
Indeed. his %roughness and toughness were long lived.
