THEY MUST HAVE IT
By WICKES WAMBOLDT-

orally normal body.
We have learned that we can
not afford cess pools in our back
yards, that impure water is too
costly, and that foul air is deadly.
We have learned lot of things
about milk, too, but not enough.
The public is steadily coming to
the belief that it should own pub
lie utilities, that human welfare
and happiness require cheap wa
ter, cheap gas, cheap electrical
current, cheap transportation,
cheap telephone and telegraph
service along with what we al
ready have-cheap postal service.
Someday we shall regard milk
as a public utility. We shall say
that it is but matter of selApro-
lection, of public hygiene, to put
milk every day in every family;
and if family can not afford to
buy milk, then the public must
buy milk for that family. If we
are going to do that, we must
have good milk cheap, and cheap
milk good.
Municipalities may have to go
into the milk business. At least
they may have to own their pas
teurizing plants and control the
distribution of milk. Then munic-
qualities can say very definitely
just how much the farmer shall
be paid for milk and how much
the consumer shall pay for milk.
Don't let anybody fool you with
the statement that government
| can not operate an enterprise as
economically as private capital. II
certainly can, and more cheaply
for government has to pay nc
dividends to stockholders. But
you may ask: "What about tbs
graft?" My dear friends, there is
more CRAFTS in business than ir
government. In fact. it is tn:
graft in business that causes the
graft in government. 1t is entirely
possible for government to com
mand capable men and womel
with active conscicnces. 1t is III
to- you and, it is- up tonne.

THE SNATCH RACKET

There is an ugly American racket almost as
ugly kidnapping, but in which the Public Enc
mics Nos l, 2, g. 4, etc, are beautiful blondes or
devastating brunettes instead of hard-faced gang
sters. ,-...,... .." .s'..
For example, Hollywood recently celebrated the
wedding of Motion Picture Actress June Knight TO
Wealthy New York Broker Paul -Ames. Eight days
after the wedding, the bride left the groom, claim
ing he was "sullen and p,orose and allowed mem
bers of his family to interfere in their affairs"
She then filed suit for Divorce, stating that
Ames had property valued at more than million
dollars and an income gof $4,000 week. She
asked for $1,000 a month alimony.
All of which sounds much more like highly
developed and very efficient snatch racket than
the mis-coursing of true love. The romance OF
moonlight and June Knights is transitory patti

RALEIGH, Dec. 19.-Clydc A.
Erwin, state superintendent of
public instruction, told the state
wide meeting of the Council on
Emergency in Education here
Monday night that he does not
subscribe to maximum eight
months school and that he
thought cities able to provide a
nine-months' term should be al
lowed to do so.
Mr.. Erwin shared speaking hon
ors with DR.. Frank P. Graham,
president of the University of
North Carolina, and DR.. Leon
Meadows, president of East Caro-
lima Teachers college, at a meet
ing attended by upwards of 300
persons including a number Of
members-elcct of the General As
sembly. Most of those present
were school people.

children are denied nine-month
school," Erwin said. II rejoice
that every child in the state has
the advantage of an eight-month
school, but l do not subscribe to

with other things n t hu-
man beings need to sustain
life and along with the human be-
ings themselves. There is too
much of this exploiter and ex-
plotted business in our scheme of
civilization. Until we get away
from that sort Of thing, we shall
never have a real civilization. But
back to the milk question:
In many communities, farmers
say they are getting so little for
their milk from those who buy it
up and distribute it that they can
not afford to produce milk. And
the consumers declare that they
are being forced to pay so much
for milk that most of them can
not afford to buy it. Certainly
they can not afford to have as
much of it as they need.
Milk should be cheap. It's dis
tribution should be generous. Au-
thorities say that right now ow-
ing to the inability Of our people
to get the milk they require, we
are growing boys and girls who
will not develop physically into
the right kind of men and wo-
men. Milk is food which contains
certain elements that the human
frame demands for its proper
growth. Milk is desperately need

beanes, sound teeth, and gen.
