A DISTRESSING TRAGEDY

The distressing railroad wreck on
the Southern Pacific near Tucum-
carl, New Mexico, reminds us that
the peril of railroad disaster always
exists. Wild storms produce a tre-
mendous water power in many sud
denly rising streams, which proved
too much for one span of rs foot
trestle.
Railroad accidents have been un-
usual Of late. But where millions
of passengers are being carried
every day, many of them over high
bridges and trestles, and most of
them over places where a misplaced
switch or sleepy employee might
lead to disaster, the job of accident
prevention is something that calls
for the most continuous vigilance.

School Child's Lunch

NOW that children are back in
~ school, nourishing lunches for
them becomes an important matter.
Almost before we realize it the
morning has flown. and it is time for
them to come skipping in for a lunch
that must be appealing and adequate
nutritionally. Milk must play an inn
portant part in this midday lunch.
If your children enjoy drinking milk,
you are fortunate. A sandwich and a
glass of milk, plus fruit, and possibly
cookies or another simple sweet, pro-
vide all the necessary food elements.
However. when the child does not
care to drink milk or tires of having
it every day, it is necessary to be in
genuous and see that he gets it in
more varied forms. The quickly pre-
pared luncheon dishes suggested be-
low furnish an abundance of milk
and will be enthusiastically greeted
by the children.
Eggs With Quick Mushroom
Sauce-Melt 2 tablespoons butter.
Add 3 tablespoons flour and blend
well. Pour in l medium can Cream
of Mushroom Soup (Ready-to-
serve) and cook until thick. Add 4
hard cooked eggs sliced and heat

through. Salt and pepper to taste.
Serve on toast or crackers.
Luncheon Beans-Place one-half
of 25-oz. can Oven Baked Beans
vegetarian Style in a buttered
casserole and sprinkle with ID cup
grated American cheese. Repeat
layers and pour "a cup milk over top,
Top with buttered bread crumbs.
Bake for 80 minutes in a medium
oven (375'F.). A delicious and
nourishing dish for children's lunch
or supper. Serves 5.

SWEATED WORKERS

Warm hopes are expressed that
the n R A has made possible the end
of the sweatshop conditions in vari-
Gus industries. The story of the
starvation wages at which people,
particularly women and girls, have
had to labor, is something pitiful.
If by one bold stroke of industrial
progress we have abolished this
wrong, it may be worth while to
have had an industrial depression
to bring it about.
The people who employ labor at
starvation wages may argue that the
workers are better off to have this
low pay than nothing at all, and that
there would be no way to give them
that work, unless they were willing
to accept those pitiful wages. But
such conditions demoralize and pull
down a whole trade.
They make it impossible for other
concerns to pay a fair wage. The
result is that the purchasing power
of a great mass of people is lowered,
which reduces the markets for all
kinds of products, and helps produce
the slack demand for merchandise
that creates unemployment.
The condition of a sweated work
er is pitiful in the extreme. The
wages do not permit adequate home
living, or sufficient consumption of
food The body grows anaemic,
liable to attacks of diseases, and
there is no long life or fulfllment
of any happiness in such conditions.
Thousands of people are doomed to
lives of squalor and poverty by
sweated labor.
The business world sees clearly
enough today, that to produce pros
perity and regular operation of the
there must. be sustain
ed purchasing power on the part of
the working masses. They must be
able to buy the produce of the in
or the industries can't run.
Any industry that can't pay living
wage is a sore spot in the nations
life, and it ought to be reorganized
on some different basis.

WHAT A SHAME

What a shame that there is no re-
spect paid to the American flag "Old
Glory" in Milford. Have we lost all
dignity and honor? Have we no
pride as a city2 That the flag should
not be lowered until after eleven
o'clock at night is a disgrace. That
it is not raised until after ten in
the morning is without excuse. City
Fathers are we so busy about other
things that we forget the symbol
and emblem of our liberty?
If we are so careless and without
pride as a city, let us remove the
pole, it might provide room for an
other car to park.

TIENTSIN, China. January ia
patriotic society of local japanese mer-
chants. acting supposedly in the inter-
estS of Chinese merchants. has written
to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce,
asking that the embargo on japanese
goods be lifted. They declare that
because of the restriction Chinese mer-
chants are inconvenienced and will be
unable to make their annual financial
settlements due on January IS, first
day of the Chinese new year.
A similar letter has been sent to the
Governor Of Chilli, province in which
Tientsin is located. who, however. Is
ignoring the request. 1t Is understood
the governor attaches considerable i'm
portance to this move on the part of
the Japanese, since he feels that they
are likely to ADOPT the same prelim-
mary tactics as they employed in
Shanghai almost a year ago, when
first they demanded that the local boy
colt be lifted and then, upon Chinese
refusal. took action or created an in
cident.''
Large quantities Of japanese goods are
stored in Tientsin warehouses. Chlnese

reprisals from their own patriotic or
eanizations. though the boycott is ex-
tensive in North China.
That last night passed without event
is signihcai to Chinese here, who had
been led to believe, owing to whole
sale crop of alarmist rumors, that the
evening was to usher in series OF
armed incidents. Chinese now feel that
Chinese New Year eve, as well as New

time for the long-awaited pyrotechnics.
