Thirteen year old Novice

By Uer Haitian Hour
THIS is a story of youth.

THIS is a story of youth.
- The past few years have seen
youngsters walk away with honors and
prizes in many fields; now they are
entering the kitchen and showing their
elders how cooking should be done.
Jelly-making is an art which has
flourished for many, many years, and,
up to now, experience has counted
at least in the minds of the practition-
ers-greatly toward success.
But recently girls in their teens, or
wen below them, have taken up jelly
making and have been breezing along
with victories. There is Dorothy Dodd
Marlatt, for example, the little nine
year-old New Jersey girl who started
winning contests when she was FIVE.
Beats Prise Winner
And there is Marie Kemp, the thir-
teen-year-old Wisconsin girl who, al
though she had made jelly only three
times before, challenged Mrs. F. J.
Beilharz, a State Fair prize-winner, to
a friendly speed contest" and won by
mor than half an hour.
Both Dorothy and Marie use the
short-boil method, which includes the
use of bottled fruit pectin, thus assur-
ing success.
Here is what Mrs. Beilharz said
about her contest" with Marie: we
both put our grape juice mixture on to
boil at the very same instant. And ex-

Roses and Economics

The New Haven railroad has found that roses
planted along its right of way on slopes where grass
would not grow checks soil erosion and land slides
So Dorothy Perkins roses scent the air and delight
the eye where New Haven trains run in New York.
Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
In this utiltarian world most of the things we
do are done for reasons of material GAIN But 1t Is
surprising how often material benefit is found to go
hand in hand with benefits ignored when they are
urged as matter of beauty, justice or humanity
A classic example of this is the growing favor
with which community property laws, giving women
control over their earnings denied them elsewhere,
are now regarded in western states. 1t has been dis
covered that community property laws reduce the
family income tax.
Business men long ago discovered that Workmens
CONDENSATION laws operate to their financial benefit
as well as to that of their employees, and that shorter
hours and good working conditions make for ef-
fciency in their plants.
Some day business is going to discover that 1t can
only prosper when all the people of the United States
have money with which to buy its products. Then
it will find way to end unemployment. The things
that have been urged so long matter of social
Justice will be accomplished when industry wants

1t is all matter of learning how to be selfish

1t evidently was coincidence that the interstate
commerce commission announced its own investiga-
Ion into certain phases of railroad operation on the
eve Of the hearing of the carriers plea for increased
freight rates; but nonetheless, it is significant
The commission has started hearing the freight
rate case, and before this is ended the railroads it
appears, will be asked to make a showing as to
whether their operation is economical and efficient.
The new I. G. c. inquiry will be aimed at certain
railroad practices that affect economical operation
and while there have been other similar surveys the
new one is important because it approaches the pres
ent railroad problem from direction different from
mat OF the proposed rate increase.
The present hearing will result, maybe in the fall.

Punishment

Of all government activities in the least typicaly
American would seem to be the deportation campaign
being conducted with renewed fervor under the
department of labor.
This drive is under full steam Some 10000 aliens
have been deported this year. others driven by fear
and unrest have gone Of their accord Under the
amended immigration law these deportees may never
return to shores Their punishment is Of the
severest forms known to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Many aliens are being banished for petty offenses
such as the alleged theft of several pieces of old linen
for which the authorities about to send to Scot
land Hugh Mcleod and thereby leave for the
of San Francisco charities his wife and child Others
being banshed for political beliefs, in the days
of the old cars in Russia.
Mere membership In the Communist party is a
crime under the labor department Interpretation of
the immigration law. Some Communists are being
sent to their deaths in the of Tao-Hsuan Ii
Stanford university aumnus who is being returned
to China where almost certain execution awaits him
Guido Serio New York radical, will be sent to slow
death on one Of Iays penal islands unless the courts
intervene.
1t is hard to understand why Secretary Doak
should glory in these banishments The law, of course
is to blame and should be liberalized. But laws
be tempered in their administration. And Doak is
kindly man. He is intelligent enough to know that
the costly deportation Of 1900 aliens year will make
hardly dent in the problem Of 100000 unemployed
here. He should be wise enough to know that the
damage these harsh banishments do the adninistra-
lions prestige here and abroad far outweighs any pos
sibe benefits.
We fear the secretary Of labor is building the
wrong sort Of reputation. Unless he mod1es his code
he will find himself bracketed in the public mind with
such prophets of fear as Mitchell Palmer, Clayton
Lusk and Hamilton Fish. He would do better to build
upon the solid Americanism Of jefferson, Lincoln and
the fathers of the American labor movement that he
represents.

Z DIDN'T mean that at all. I think

little time in which to become &C

opportunity which we have to train the majority of

1t Is time that we realized the opportunity and
responsibility involved. The high school must no
longer be despised incidental adjunct to higher
education.
If the proper preparation for life is not good
enough to serve as preparation for college, then it
IS just too bad for the college. Not few educators
OF high standing row go even further and propose
That we improve and stiffen up our high schools and
let them take the place of the majority of the COL
legeS. Many of the latter do little more advanced
or better work than the best nodernzed senior high
schools.

Needed: A LIQUOR Tax

The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment
chooses the end of the fiscal year. when the federal
government is confronted with a depleted treasury
again to call attention to the fact that legazaton of
liquor would produce large revenues through taxation
study by the association convinced it that taxes
on legalzed liquor at 1918 rates would produce in ex
cess OF $9Oo0O00O in seventeen states which could
be expected to set up systems for liquor sales This
Is about the amount Of the federal budget deficit.
The seventeen states contain 40 per cent of the coun
trys population.
Other countries, temperate than this get
much OF their tax revenues through liquor leves the
board points out In Great Britain, where arrests
for drunkenness have been steadily decreasing the
amount is 10 per cent of the total revenue.
And says the board, this nations drink bill would
not be increased. Money which now goes to pay the
extoronate profits of bootleggers and rum runners
and for the corruption of public officials would find
its way into the public treasury.
The reasoning of the board is sound, and fiscal
officers of the government will do well to give con-
sideration to it they cast about for new sources
