CapOne and the Court

That Chicago judge overlooked bet when he
turned down ambassadors from AL Capone 1t ap-
pears the king of the underworld showed DISPOSE
ton to meet the court on even terms and sent his
representatives to confer with the judge TO con-
ditions under which he would into court and
talk things over.
But Judge Lyle sent back word that if Al wanted
to surrender ne could appear at the detective bureau
And thus great opportunity was lost.
All King Capone asked was that the judge should
send bailif to his hangout and escort him back
to the courtroom Considering conditions in Chicago
and the free-and-easy in which machine guns
pop of now and then, can Capone any other up
standing citizen be blamed for wanting an escort
through the loop?
Certainly the judge shouldn't object to making
Chicago courts safe for their customers; and when
the great Capone himself is willing to condescend
to enter a courtroom if properly escorted the au-
thorities ought to jump at the chance and provide
not only bailIff but brass band, national guard
regiment and drum major with big hat
If Chicago can't get Scarface AL into JAIL it cer-
tainly ought to be GLAD, at least, to get him into
court and no Chicago court ought to get uppety
as to high hat the big towns best-known citizen.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

Recently a study was made of the
physical measurements of 1000
Smith college students for purposes
Of comparison with a similar group
entering college twenty-five to fifty
years ago.
Out of 1000 students entering
college between the ages of 16 and
20 and remaining and graduating
four years later, 7.S per cent entered
at 16, 31.5 at II, 42.6 at 10, 1914 at
10 and % at 20.
1t was found that a higher per-
centage of students of the Stocky
type started college at an earlier
age, the slender type starting at a
later age; the students of an in
termediate type have a constant
percentage at all ages. One of the
reasons why sturdier built girls en-
ter college earlier probably is the
fact that they are less of health
problem throughout childhood. The
sturdily built girl is self-reliant and
her parents are more likely to per-
NIT her to leave home earlier than
the one who apparently is slender.
For purposes of comparison with
the 1000 Smith college girls from
1926 to 1923, records were studied
of girls from Boston, Oberlin, st.
Louis, the University of Iowa and
the University of Nebraska in the
period from 1893 to 1902.
AS a result of these studies, it was
found that the median height of

Eight Hours for Women

The struggle for decent working hours for women
of the main currents in the history of nine
teenth century humanitarianism. The famous ten
hour bi of 1874 in England ranks in the history
as date comparable to Waterloo, Sadowa Sedan.
The European movement for shorter hours for
women and children paralleed by the efforts of
humanitarians this side of the water. Women
worked as high as fifteen hours day in some of the
textile factories of New England century back The
eight-hour day for long has been on the pro-
gram of the social economists and leaders Of labor
legislation. We have come to assume that the goal
already has been realized.
1t is we'll therefore, to have our attention called
to the realities. This was done by Miss Mary An
derson of the department of labor in her annual
message. She points out effectively that have
made only decent start in the direction of COM
pulSory eight-hour day for women workers.
No state in the Union has legally established the
eight-hour day for all men, women and children en-
poyed in industry. Only some twelve states, plus
the District of Columbia, point to compulsory
eight-hour day for women And even in these states
not all occupations are thus protected.
Only special classes of women wage-earners are
limited to eight hours. Eighteen states allow work.
ing day of ten hours for women. Five permit an
even longer day, and five have legal limitation
whatsoever
Ine OLD argument IOr a SnOTt WORKING uay LOT
women was chiefly humanitaran-to secure health
and decency among the workers. Today there has
been added a more strictly economic motive Short
hours represent the most effective way of combat
ing chronological unemployment due to the in
vention of labor-Savng devices.
Likewise, it is an admirable method of preventing
overproduction. Moreover, it promotes sales and
prosperity, for the more leisure, the time for
consumption of goods and marketable services.

1N1I AOOA Lands

THE 1880 baseball world series proves again that
the much-heralded strategy" of club managers is
bunk
You would think after reading the sport writer's
that it took much generalship to lead baseball
club 1t took for the late Mr. Bonaparte to lead his
armies.
But as Mark Twain said of e report of his death,
1t is slightly exaggerated"
If baseball club has the pitchers and the hitters
it will win, if it is managed by an ordinary fam In
fact many things the managers do lead one to the
conclusion that the ordinary fan would be vast
Improvement.
OF course manager must have enough sense to
remove a pitcher when he has spontaneous conabuS-
ton and to tell his players to do certain things under
certain circumstances, but all this knowledge could
be impaired in volume somewhat smaller than an
unabridged dictionary.
THE hitting is important, OF course, but fully 80
per cent of the baseball team is in the pitchers
box
When the Athletics had Grove or Earnshaw in the
box the team seemed to be the worlds greatest, but
when Wild Bill Hallahan fed them goose eggs they
looked like invaiidS at health cure.
All the strategy" in the world will not make slug
gers out cluster of athletes who were born to be
air sweerers and all the foxiness that ever nestled
beneath derby will not make great pitcher out OF
who created to throw hash
Take the Philadelphia Nationals, for instance
you can give them Connie Mack's two star pitchers
and no manager but bat boy and they will saunter
to the championship with little engraved upon
their classic brows Without such pitchers, they hum
bly, make their bed in the cellar of the National
League
ND the PhillieS as they would be Just where
N they are If they we're managed by combination
of General Persning, Owen D. Young, Aimee McPher-
son, Otto Kahn John D. Rockefeller Jr, PusSyfooi
Johnson and General Dawes.
Victory lies not in the manager, but in the ath-
letes.
But there is ore place where a crafty headpiece
is mighty asset and that's on the shoulders of q
player
Ty Cobb proved this for he was able to set an en-
tire opposing team its head by his threat to pull
something different when he was on the bases.
He never played the game by its rules he had
audscity and he vas a team in himself
But the famed strategy" of the invisible man
ager in the dugout-thats appesauce

Editor TimeS-Tlle county cleo
ton commissioners who are to meet
this week to consider whether the
Communist party shall be rep
resented on the election ballot have
grave responsibility thrust upon
them, and at the same time they
have a golden opportunity to render
their state and their nation a
patriotic service by refusing to allow
the representatives of a dangerous
foreign political faction to gain a
foothold in our state government.
The government of the United
States does not recognize the
present Communist government of
Russia and that should be sufficient
authority for our county and state
officers to refuse to recognize the
right of Communists to have rep
reese ltarives in our county and state
offices.
A Communist is not a citizen Of
the United States, because he is an
enemy to our national government
and a member of a foreign political
party under the control of foreign
lands. My opinion is that when a
citizen of the United States becomes
a Communist, he automatically
ceases to be a member of Uncle
Sans family. OF course any man is
free to join any political party or
to become a citizen of any foreign
country that he likes better than
the good old U. S. a., but by the
same token he ought not come
whining around and begging to be
represented in government which
he is seeking to overthrow.
