SAVING CHILDREN

The attention Of complacent congressman, Gov
errors and legislators respectfully is called to
warning from Health Commissioner Wynne of New
York City, that the death rate from undcrnourish-
ment is increasing among children.
DR.. Wynne told the welfare councils health sec
ton that 25 per cent Of his citys school children
today show signs of undernourishment, compared
with Is per cent a year ago, fact that probably
will be reflected in an increase in the death rate
this year.
New York's school teachers have spent 100000
helping feed their pupils. New York state has
bonded itself for S3OOoOOOO for relief and New York
City leads all communities in the extent of it's giving
Yet in these children's homes it is found that
the gas has been turned off and many children

This can not go on much longer" Dr. Wynne
declared
Here is an official report from the richest city

world 1t shows that helpless children slowly are
being permitted to scken and die from lack of food
and warmth.
What is happening in poorer states and COM

independent citizens should have protection against

LICENSING BARRIERS

The public should be more interested than the
labor unions in the pending law to inspect barber
shops and issue licenses only to those who are quail
field.
Although it is demanded by organized labor, it is
really health measure and has been delayed too
many years.
Every other state bordering on Indiana has
similar law The result is that the Indiana barber
must compete with those who are rejected in other
states.
The proposed law would furnish protection IN the
matter of sanitation, in the health of the operator
and would also guarantee certain amount OF skill
The cost of inspection would be met with ices
paid by the shops and the BARRIERS who apply for
licenses It would probably furnish revenue for state
funds as the wage of inspectors is fixed at modest
sum.
Opposition in the past has come only from those
who made it their business to fight any demand
coming from organized labor. But this proposal
has SO much merit from the standpoint OF the
public that the legislature should not hesitate to
pass it,

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

HOWEVER hastily we may wish to escape from
marriage bonds, we need more restrictions to
prevent too-precipitate dash into them.
realization of this has struck the public con-
scousnesS. This year in many states women are
working together to pass legislative bills that will
make it more difficult to get marriage licenses
Nothing will save the younger generations so
much unhappiness. While prohibitions are not pre-
ventives, in a of this kind more stringent regu
latons are necessary.
Boys and girls who in love often are immune
to advice and incapable of reasoning The stories
of hasty marriage, of drunken unions, of escapades
that end in wedding VOWS pronounced on a dare are
tragic proof of this.
Parents suffer endless humilations and heart
breaks because obscure and irresponsible justices of
the peace are so easy of access and marriage licenses
so easy to obtain.
Girls find themselves faced with the necessity
Of going through a court procedure to get annul-
ments, with their regulations furnished and shame
in their souls all becausee it is possible to slip the
legal moose on so quickly
IT was a sad day for America when we took from
the marriage ceremony its sacred connotation
Whether you believe in legal or church perform
ance you must admit that there is something sober
ing in leisurey advance to the altar something
ught-provoking when the event assumes the pro-
portions of a solemn undertaking.
This at least precludes any idea that is may be
of desultory nature sort of hit-or-miss affair
that is of such small consequence that it may and
perhaps inevitable will be of short duration
One may sympathize with the desire for quiet
even secret wedding, but if we wish to preserve
the happiness of our daughters and sons and the
dignity and integrity of marriage itself longer
can tolerate the possibility of degrading the we'd
ding to the status of mere amorous designation.

A DEBT COMMISSION

PRESIDENT Elect Roosevelts announcement that
he will consult members of congress during the for
eign debt negotiations is encouraging. Since he In
dcated in the beginning that he would conduct the
negotiations himself. those most interested in set
Element have feared that he raising additional
barriers to congressional ratification Of any agree
ment.
His new statement reflects one of Mr.. Roose-
velts chief assets as an executive and party leader
namely his capacity to adjust himself in part to
the Judgment of his associates.
1t remains to be seen whether his compromise
plan of consulting selected senators and representa-
tives during the negotiations, rather than appoint
ING them as formal members of debt commission,
will achieve the desired purpose. 1t is the function
of the executive to conduct general foreign relations
But the fact that this is a fiscal matter makes
1t a Joint function of President and congress. Apart
from theoretical considerations of this kind there
is Unconditional fact that congress in this instance
has asserted its prerogatve and exceedingly sens-
tive the subject.
Both in the earlier funding agreements and in
the senate resolution of December, 1881 congress has
maintained control over the debts
AS a matter of practical craftsmanship, many
have believed that Mr.. Roosevelt would be wiser in
following precedent and requesting congress to au-
thorize revival of the debt funding commission.
That, of course would involve a legislative battle
at the beginning With large congressional group.
But in view of the December 1881, resolution
opposing any change in the debt status it might be
more effective to meet this opposition openly and
directly. rather than wait until after new agree
ment is negotiated when the opposition will charge
the President with usurpation of power and with
acting in bad faith.
No agreement negotiated by the President will
be worth the paper it is written until it is rat-
fed by congress. And, since persuadng congress
to accept a reasonable settlement will be as diff
cult if not more difficult, than reaching an agree
ment with foreign governments the real test OF Mr.
Roosevelt's debt leadership will be his ability to
obtain cooperation of congress.
Rightly or wrongly-and believe wrongly

mise plan of consulting certain members of congress

T NEVER have known precisely
l. what the word "style" means in
regard to writing.
For instance, 1 am puzzled when
people talk of some author and
say. We'll, at any rate, he has
style" l think they might as we'll
say, "Of course, he has blood
pressure"
mean that everybody who sets
down words on paper must have
some highly personal addiction to
certain phrases. Some men write
in such way that you can identify
them almost by any single stray
sentence.
But surely it is mistake to as
sumo that the man who signs
himself so palpably in every par
agraph is not of necessity a
greater prosemaster than some one
else less easily recognized.
For instance, you could give me
a page of Galsworthy and I might
be in grave doubt as to the
authorship and yet I believe that
could spot an essay by Walter
Winchell within the span Of the
first twenty words.
I think that Mr.. Winchell has
invented a novel and an interest
ing manner of writing which is
wholly his own. His imitators do
very badly at it. But obviously
one does not mean the same
thing in saying walter WincheIl
has style" as in remarking John

Almost Silent Motor

DOSSIBLY most of us who
i employ the word are off on
the wrong foot altogether. We hail
as "stylist" the man who carries
the greatest amount of luggage.
In my youth my teachers and
preceptors frequently called my
attention to Joseph Addison
Q672-1719), who himself was
columnist of sorts. Indeed, the
instructor said that Addison stood
unrivaled in his field, but this was
before the days Of Winchell and
Adams, Brisbane and Broun.
Now, Addison undoubtedly pos
sessed style. 1t stood out all over
him, like the quilts upon the fret
full porcupine. And in my youth
1 was urged to emulate him, and
1 made an honest effort so to do.
But after a six-month trial,
chiefly confined to error, I gave up
the attempt to capture the bal
anced sentence and the rhythmic
flow of words.
In the hand-me- down shop
which was called a school or
college they showed me next the
raiment of Thomas Darlington
Macaulay and after that the
mantle of Stevenson, and 1 was
assured that, with diligence and
radical alterations, 1 might
venture timidly into the world,
wearing these garments.
In truth, I would have tripped
with every step, for there was far
too great an amount of material
to garb my slender frame.

are loved chiefly for their virtues
or their faults. If Kipling had
not been frightened in his youth
by a hurdy-gurdy and fascinated
by a British sergeant in full regi-
mentals, he might have written
with more able grasp of the
earth'S realities. And that would
have been pity.
Some people believe that the
manner in which an author tells
his story is largely conditioned by
his political and economic beliefs.
For instance, Dreiser's slodgeham-
mer method has been hailed as
the result of his proletatian con-
victions. I doubt it.
1t seems to me that Mr. Dresser,
in dealing with Cinderella or with
Jurgen, still would have gone into
his inhghting and two-volume
manner. Battling Nelson's are
born rather than made.
Upon a few rare occasions I
have had the privilege CT reading
burlesqueS of my own manner, but
it has not been helpful. The only
conclusion could reach after
reading these parodies was that
one of us must be terrible. And I
couldn't quite make up my mind
as to which.
