are several points of wisdom in start
ing the recreational activities just at
this time. A majority of such activi-
ties are best adapted to the outdoors.
Moreover, a leisure time program will
do much in handling the problem of

Minnesota farmers are getting a
real break in the testing for tubercu-
lous cattle being started this week in

or other reasons these 13 counties
have not been able to take advantage
of the state area Law whereby county.
state, and federal governments Co
operate to eradicate tuberculosis from
cattle herds. This has kept Minnesota
off the List of fully-accredited tubercu-
losis-free dairy states, of which there
are only four, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Ohio, and Indiana. With the help
of CWA, the state and federal gov
ernments are now going to test herds
in Chippewa, Grant, Houston, Lac Qui
Parle, Lyon, Mobiles, Pipestone. Pope,
Rock, Sibley, Stevens, Swift, and Yel-
low Medicine counties with a view
not only to protect Minnesota children
from infected dairy products but also
to maintain the states eastern dairy

a project that serves both in the finest
possible way.

Hollywood on Probation.
(NeW York Times.D

There are gratifying signs that the leading companies in the moving picture industry are taking to heart the large volume of protests against some of their ways and products. Never before has such body of opinion been arrayed against films of certain class Catholic bishops are of one mind with Jewish rabbis in arraigning the pro ducers who show pictures calculated to impair morals and even glorify crime Protestant churches join with parents associations educators and civic societies in the threat of a boycott of vulgar and vicious moving pictures Superintendent Campbell has just added his strong protest in behalf of the school children Of this city. The demand is for the suppression of what only disgust and degrade, together with the production of clean and interesting films fit to be shown to young and old alike.
 It is evident that all this has not been lost upon Hollywood It feels itself on trial. MT Will Hays has-if trife late-roused himself to the need of cleaning up the industry and is calling upon it's magnates to set about the job. If they do not reform, they will not only fall under public con demnation but incur serious money losses. Already the results of this widespread appeal to their pocket nerve, as well to their sense of public responsibility and decency, seen in some Of the announcements of the contemplated output for the rest of this year and for 1885 Patrons of the movie theatres will not at once be freed from good deal that is cheap and silly, but they may at least look forward to the filming of few good plays number of books of stirring adventure and such works as The Forsyte Saga "The Little Minister The Age of Innocence The Last Days of Pompe" Rider Haggards she and others
 What has plainly happened is that serious notice has been served upon Hollywood It must
 improve both it's taste and morals or suffer the consequences This wholesale futtering of it's dove cotes bids fair to do it lot of good.

A Challenge to the U. s.
(New York World -Telegram.3

tNeW YOrK WOflQ-1eleSTdm)
 The Administrations housing act is chal- lenge to what has to be the new American spirit of self-help through civic cooperation
 Under this plan for rehousng the nations millions the Government abandons all notion of substituting private industry. It will not pour billions of public credit into building. It will how ever make it easier for the billions of private dollars rustng in the banks to go to work.
 The measure, less than MIRA is typically Rooseveltan. MT. Harold J. Laski, in describing the Presidents conception of the State, says: For him the power of the State remains that of the reserve organizer who defines the rules, not the immediate agent who operates the process, Under the housing act the Government does just this By insuring private home mortgages for re- novating and rebuilding; setting standards for new type long term, amortized cheap interest home mortgage providing mortgage money in high inter- est rate regions through national mortgage asso- citations; insurng the savings of building and loan associations the Government proposes to attract capital into the mortgage market. While doing this it gives full play, also, to the old-fashoned virtues of thrift and personal initiative.
 The new measure will live up to the hopes of Tits sponsors only if loaning agencies and home owners cooperate to make it work. This will re- lquire revival of the civic enthusiasm that marked the early days of the Blue Eagless flight The time for great rehousng movement is here Home building is five years under normal Families are living double" and millions are in homes unfit for Americans The consumption goods Industry is picking up People returning to the cities The marriage rate is going up. Recovery lags only in the heavy industries Rehousing seems to be the next New Deal play

manufacturers and dstillers might be produced TOT the bootlegging trade There is little llkehhood however that this will be attempted. It would De infinitely more difficult to hide such operations than it had been to conceal an illicit distlliery The nature of bottle manufacturing does not lend itself to illegal operation.
 The second by which the regulations might be rendered futile would be in the resale of old bottles to bootlggers To prevent this the possession of used bottles will be illegal since repeal the counterfeter almost entirely shut oil from the of bottle factories, has had to depend on "emptes" for his supply. Through the marking of the bottle and prevention Of the resale of used bottles this supply would be effectively cut off at it's source.
 While there to be grounds for belief that this plan may advance the Government in its cam paign against the illicit liquor traffic, experience has shown that long as the chance for protlt remains booegging will continue to exist The and logical way to end bpotlegging is to reduce the existing exhorbitant Federal and State taxes high import duties and remove quota restrictions to the end that good liquor be made available for those who desire it at prices which Will make it impossible for the illicit dealer to compete with the legitimate business man.

ALASKA JUNEAU ADOPTS NRA
 PRINCIPLE.

In voluntarily going six-day work week basis and raising wages of its employees, the Alaska Juneau as it's management properly points out, has adopted the fundamental principle of the Ma tional Industrial Recovery Act and the MIRA code system which is to increase both employment and pay In reducing it's week one day the company necessarily will have to employ additional men to fill it's shifts And the average wage paid for six days will be somewhat higher than was paid for the seven-day week.
 The company is, also in this respect pioneer in Alaska. In the mining industry generally, the seven-day week is common. In some districts it is not confined to an eight-hour day. No other com pany has yet adopted the MIRA principles although all of them have expressed the willingness to accept code when one is adopted. The company's volun- tary offer is in keeping with it's promise of last month when it first granted raise of 50 cents per day to all employees. At that time at the request of the employees it promised to study the matter of a day week, and to make known it's decision as soon as possible The promptness with which it fulfilled that promise is in keeping with the general policy of the management to live up to all of it's agreements The employees acceptance of the offer is another evidence of the spirit of cooperation that exists between the company and its employees The system ought to benefit both the company and its workers. The seven-day week is not desirable thing where it possibly be avoided The efficiency of the employees un- doubtedy will be promoted by the shorter week. The workers themselves will benefit in health and conentment through it.
 One fact brought cut by ffthe announcement issued by MT Metzgar, General Superintendent, ought to be emphasized and spread widely abroad, That is there is no need for any thrush of labor. There are sufficient capable men in the city and vicinity already to provide the company with all of the additional workmen the new system will require. Persons coming here from other points in the hope of employment from that will be disappointed. And, too, such thrush would add to the city's unemployment problem which already serious.

BOTTLES FOR WEAPONS.

Bottles often in the past have been used weapons of offense usually illegally and a rule the user has found himself facing criminal charges in some court. Now the Government through the Federal Alcohol Control Commission, proposes to adopt them as one of its major weapons in its new campaign against the bootleggng fraternity through out the country. Proceeding the theory that stoppage of counereiting of well known and popular brands of both domestic and imported liquor will check to a large degree the illicit alcohol trade the FACC recently adopted regulation requiring bottle manufacturers and dstillers to blow mould into bottles identifying marks. Thus any bottle can be traced to it's manufacturer and to the distiller whose product it contains
 Counterfeting of labels and specially moulded bottles, although in vogue even before the Pro- hibition only to importance during Pro- hibiton Before 1920 the chief concern of the boot legger to evade the Federal tax by selling unbottled liquor to transport legitimate stocks from wet to dry territory But during Prohibition the prices that could be obtained for the finer brands of whiskey brandy and gin invited counter feiting, and this became a lucrative and regular part of the bootleggers business Repeal therefore found him highly expert in carrying such activity. And with repeal many incentives to continue mained. They
 First-The profit to be obtained by evading high Federal and State taxes
 
 stitutng inferior liquor for liquor of high reputa- tion and quality.
 Third-The profit available by operating busi- with small overhead in which the expenses of offices and advertising outlay practically eliminated
 The FACC believes that it eliminate in a large measure the second of these incentives By requiring that all bottles containing alcoholic liquor to be indelibly marked with identifying insignia it hopes to force the bootlegger to peddle his wares in such fashion that every purchaser of ordinary intelligence will know that he is using illicitly manufactured and distributed liquor. For the plan to be successful necessarily the liquor consuming public must become bottle-conscous. In the past buyers of liquor have not scrunized carefully the container, and in most cases scrutiny would not have given them protection, so skillful had the bootegger become in the art of counterfeiting
 But two possible means of defeating this new regulation seem to exist One is that unscupuous bottle manufacturer might undertake to establish secretly bottle making plant at which counter feit bottles bearing the insignia of the legitimate

 This is the right way to settle disputes between capital and labor. It leaves both perfectly free. It is the democratic way.
