If that means an increase per hour. the net result is a reduction of about the same per- centage in the days pay for most workers. In return they have two hours more leisure.
 The factory changes from three eight-hour shifts to four. Thus work goes on eontinu- ousIy as before. In fact. more continuously. for there are no longer any interruptions for meals. Workmen stick to the job steadily for six hours without intermission. They seem able to keep fresh that long. whereas work ing eight hours they were slower getting start cd and slower toward the end. The meal arrangement seems advantageous to both sides The employes get all their meals at home and the company doesn't have to operate cafe teria.
 The employers get more production at less cost per minute. The employees are said to have More leisure time for recreation. music or other cultural studies, increased time to pursue educational courses. opportunity to cultivate farms or gardens, increased incentive to prepare for managerial jobs. less fatigue decreased cost of living. less waste time, op- portunity for mothers who must support chll- dren to earn living and yet care for their families. greater assurance of a steady job.
 Employment is provided for 20 per cent more hands. It may be that this experiment represents the next step to be taken by Ameri- can industrial labor generally. The increased employment looks very good, The present question is whether if the plan were widely adopted the increased production could be absorbed. Evidently the demand for cereals is good Would it be- so good for other kinds of commodities! The distributing problem would loom large. 4

Prison Outbreaks

Thirty men have been killed and more than Sl,000,000 in property destroyed. in the more important prison outbreaks during the past two years. These men whom we have locked up behind bars, are a sore spot in modern life. They cannot be wholly for gotten. and their diseased minds left to be- come more twisted.
 Some prison outbreaks can be attributed to the desperate natures of these inmates who turn back, from no deed of brutality. And some of them can be charged to too crowded prisons, to idleness within prison walls to failure to suggest some means by which these men can recover their position in society. These outcasts from society are still powerful for harm, unless steps are taken to direct their thought in better directions.

Home Security for Age

A survey of home owners, conducted through savings and loan companies. is said to indicate that "a home provides the safest form of investment for the average man or woman, and it forms the principal and almost sole means of wealth for those who reach the age of 65. In one state it was found that among the 43 per cent of citizens at that that age worth $5.000 or more, by far the largest part of their wealth was invested in homes.
 This is logical situation. No form of savings provides so much security for old age as home free from debt. It might be said that home is natural old age pension. That is what its rent value amounts to. And there are values that can never be matched in a rented home.

DAILY WASHINGTON LETTER

dry ladies and the wet ladies pretty well sold on the idea advanced by both that prohibition is going to be the big issue of 1882. No other Issue could have brought so many earnest, voluble women swarming into the capital. No other issue could have made so many of them promise, pub l licfy and privately. to bolt their
 party If 1t nominated for president a man with views opposite to theirs on prohibition.
 The National League of Women Voters, which concerns itself. with various other national problems, met at about the same time with no- where near as much attendance or publicity.

25 Year Playground Work

A few days more than 25 years ago group of men and women met at the White House. at the invitation of President Roose- welt. and organized the Playground Associa- ton of America. The directors of that asso- eiation have just met at the cabinet room of the White House in recognition of that anni- versary. Today about $33, ,500000 is being spent annually by communities in the United States and Canada on public recreation pro- grams. The average daily attendance at such playgrounds is 3.000000 persons. of whom 2.5000 900 are children, Mr Roosevelt started a big thing
 The more playgrounds there are. the fewer jails we need. The boy who is working his head off to win games for his ball team, or who spends his spare hours studying new ten his and golf strokes, is not interested in crm inal life The smart crook who drops those insidious words in his ears about easy money, gets no attention from him. The lot of the children in a crowded city district without playgrounds is pitable. They can't play in the streets on account of the automobile peril. What is there left for them but gang life, in which outwitting the police becomes their incentive? In many smaller towns. there isn't single spot where the boys can play ball without being ordered off.
 Just the mere opening up of playground in such a neighborhood will cure much of this restlessness. But, of course the play ground will accomplish far more, if there is some supervision. Without oversight. many of the games will break up in childish rows. But with reasonable amount of supervision. the eongested neighborhood IS turned from center of restlessness and unhappness for young people, into community where young life has attained wholesome objective.

Litchheld is facing an unemployment prob lem as summer approaches that is unique in Connecticut towns. As has been the custom in the county seat for years prisoners from the county jail will be employed to cut grass for property owners and to do other jobs of similar nature. The prisoners are paid so much for this work and it keeps them from breaking out of the Litchheld jail. The un- employed of the village, though. would like to do this work this year, so there will be a plentitude of labor with the prisoners wing with the unemployed to see who'll get the jobs. We hope the prisoners won't conduct a house to house canvass.

of the republican machine to retain its hold on political patronage.

The proposal that Calvin Coolidge be made speaker of the next House fails to take into consideration the very dominant fact that the democrats may do the organizing and not the republicans The suggestion came from a republican Representative Royal C. John- son of South Dakota. However there is little likelihood of the Electromagnetic desertine the peace and quiet of his residence for the turmoil and strife of the House floor where he wouldn't even have vote, despite the fact that he might be speaker. There is nothing in the Constitution that should lead anyone tc say that the speaker doesn't have to be mem Der of the House. While that may not aetu. ally be there in black and white the context is such that no one would conceive anything but that the speaker is expected to be mem. Der of the body he rules

Here's more political capital for the oppos- ing parties in the legislature. Governor Cross doesn't like the way the general assembly is calmly taking away from the Middletown city council the right of appointment of the prosecutor of the police court. right that the council has held since 1885 The city council of Middletown is democratic. The judges of the police court are naturally repub- lieans. The police prosecutor, if the bill the leg
 isature has passed becomes effective. will also be republican. Governor Cross isn't going to veto the measure as he feels that the state should not interfere with purely local issues
 hence the bill will automatically go into ef- feet at the expiration of the legal limit. The republicans can point out that they have the weight of custom behind them in advocating this charter change. Prosecutors are generally named by the courts they serve. But it oc- CUTS to us that the change In 1885 must have been animated by special reasons just as were the city court appointments in New Haven in 1917. It's just one more effort on the part

Industrial Progress

We throw tobacco plant on the fire. and like the smell of it when it burns. Then we make pipe and suck the smoke into our mouths, Then we learn to roll the crumbled tobacco leaf in a piece of paper, lighting one end and drawing at the other. Then we organize corporation 10 roll it for us. Then we invent match to light it, instead of live coal or taper. Then, after prolonged ef- fort. we produce pocket lighter with flint. steel and inflammable fluid. Then we put up the fluid in little cans and keep them around the house organizing corporation to make. fill and sell us the cans. Then we in vent penny-in the slot machine to stand on the counter in the store where We buy our to- bacco, to fill the lighter for us when we go in to buy our cigarets.
 This particular cycle of evolution may be complete when we hire some dependable young fellow to carry the lighter and be always at our elbow to apply it. Maybe he will carry the cigarets, too, and stick one between our lips when we give him the signal.
