=. "A DAY.
BY BRUCE CATTON

MAX MILLER, whose ST Cover
4V1 the waterfront" scored such a
surprising and deserved success. has
written another book, He Went
Away for Awhile"
1t is not in the least like his
other book. and it may puzzle some
OF his readers a trifle; but it seems
to me q pretty clear indication that
the man slowly. but definitely is
feeling his way toward a position
from which he can give us some
thing solid and enduring.
This book is utterly unpreten-
tlous. Mr.. Miller tells us that he
had managed, in his job as report
er, to lay away several hundred
dollars; and having done so he
quit his job, went to a lonely shack
on the edge of the Pacific and be-
gan year of complete solitude and
complete inaction.
He didn't 60 away to write. Moth
ing happened to him. There were
no adventures.
He simply lived by himself, rev.
elled in his freedom from daily rou-
tine, and, lazy in the sand of the
ocean, gave himself up to specu-
lation on the oldest of riddles.
He tried. in fact, to puzzle out
why he was on the earth, and what
manner of kinShip there might be
between himself and the sea and
the stars and the night wind and
the moonlight, and what life was
meant to be used for.
Although, in the end, he went
back to his job as perplexed as
when he had left it. he had gained
something, after all-and he con-
trives to get it between the covers
of this placid. Thoughtful little book.
I doubt if the book will be best
seller. But a few people are going
to like it very much indeed.
Published by Dutton, the book
is priced at 81.

Queen and Parliament
in Ancient St. Kilda's

Two strange things about st. Kilda'
which has been abandoned by Its In
habitants, were that it had a queen
and q parliament Of it's own. The nrst
"nueen of st. Kilda" was woman
from the mainland who went there as
domestic servant to the minister
many years ago. She was the only per-
son on the island, except the minister,
who could speak English, and being
q well-educated and intelligent woman,
the St. Kildans thought great deal
of her. Partly in jest they gave her
a royal title; and when she died trag-
ically in boating accident, the title
passed to her daughter, and then to
the prettiest girl or woman on the
island. The parliament, as it was
called. met every day in the open air
to decide the work that was to be
done. whether fowlng or work on the
land. Sometimes disputes were set
tied by drawing lots, but the business
of the house" was conducted In q
friendly spirit.

The native Industries Of Kashmir,
alas, have cheapened and some have
almost died out entirely. No longer,
for instance, can one procure the very
finest ,shawls, such as made the name
of Kashmir famed throughout the
world. One can get good shawls, soft
and fine, but the exquisite, old-time
shawls are hardly to be found outside
of museums.
Pashmina is one of the loveliest
products of the land. 1t Is soft

Through-l-I Am Nancy"
Colin went on with Amos to the camp
at Whitemarsh. At headquarters
General Washington received him as
always. Gentle dignity in his manner,
a look of fatherly fondness in his face
and eyes-it was all familiar and very
grateful to the young man.
"My boy, congratulate you. am
glad to see you here and more than
can tell you l regret that you have
had to lose blood and bring back this
scar on your good face"
ut is small matter" said Colin.
1T might have been much worse. We
were following Arnold and that is not

A shadow came over the face of
the Chief. It was followed by a
frown.

but not" he paused a second and then
added, Officially"
"And yet it was he who won the
BATTLE" said Colin. "He would have
won it in the first onset with timely
help from General Gates"
The Chief rose and paced up and
down the room with frown but say
ing not word How erect he stood |!
He was majestic when offended.
Colin spoke of Pat and the Lady
Ackland and their plan to intercept
the troops and march into camp with
them.
"Oh, the young lady!". the General
exclaimed. II am forgetting my or
ders. When happily you meet, and let
us hope it may be soon, you are to
have leave of absence for all neces-
sary attention to your personal affairs.

may find needed rest and the happi-

Needed rest" Colin thought, as he
sat in silence almost overcome by his
sudden recognition of melancholy
truth. Here was man who long had
needed the rest he could not take.
| There was respite for all others

but his portion was ever the fiery fur
mace of anxiety and peril-the I'M

gratitude.
There was moment of silence
The General arose saying: 1T does
cheer me and it gives me solemn
sense of my responsibilities. America
is now awake and stirring. We shall
have reverses but they can only delay
the issue. Captain Farnsworth has
done his share Soon shall send him
home to get married and to live in
peace"
The next day passed and still an
other with no news of Pat and the
Lady Ackland. Colin was alarmed
He thought thai he would mount 6
horse and set out on the route of the
regiment to find them-a dubious en-
terprise, for it was likely that Pats
party had missed the trail of the
Massachusetts men. Possibly they
had turned south before they came t.

ABOUT CHILD LABOR

Editor, Tribune:
Our attention has been brought to
attempts in our state legislature
to ratify the Goth amendment re-
lating to child labor and we are
pleased to be given the privilege Of
dissenting as one Of family Of IL
children, all Of whom were not only
encouraged to labor but for whom
work was made q requirement. And
I wish to lay emphasis upon the ne
cessity Of work for growing youth.
AS students Of the modern trend In
education must note, there Is an over
emphasis upon play. We Of late are
concerned more with play and recrea-
ton for our youth than about his
career and service to the community.
In some class rooms Of today studies
are referred to as games" and taught
in the spirit of play rather than with
a determination that subjects are
something to be mastered and known
thoroughly.
Employers know the failings Of the
average high school student who seeks
an office position. His first demand
is for mans wage, whether qualified
or not. A majority Of them are mac
curate in the commonest kind of fig
ures and spelling seems almost lost
art. The multiplication table has
given away to the play method" Of
teaching figures. The pendulum has
swung about far enough and the
reaction should soon set In. The time
has come when 1t Is no disgrace to do
some Of the tasks which our parents
did. Through the discipline of chores
and work more progress was made
than is now the case through play
and recreation and under the tutelage
of the moral" and welfare uplifters.
After more than one half century
Of experience and as an observer, I
am free to say that there Is something
fundamentally the matter with the
national drive for the child labor law.
Unfortunately there Is connected
with 1t q sentiment Of mushy molly
coddlism and q threat Of national
ennui.
What We need today far more is a
national movement for teaching all
the growing young to work-not to
produce money or goods or gain but
character.
The typical high school age Of to-
day is q generation Of soft baby

development, the training In common
industry which their growing bodies
require, we head them in the opposite
direction. We are teaching them to
loaf and to regard 1t q national crime
for anyone to ask them to work.
The ability to work with the hands

given prerogatives Of the young. Ex-
perience in the trunk-line industries,
such as producing food from the soil,
manufacturing as an amateur, hand

in common materials and business
traffic-that is what every growing
boy and girl in America needs today
far more than they need national
laws to keep them from learning to
work.
You cannot break boy to work
