strain it can be said the proof
of good tea is in the making.
To make a good cup of tea,
first scald out an earthenWare
teapot thoroughly. Put in tea,
teaspoonful of tea or a tea ball
for each cup required. Then pour
on the tea freshly boiled water
(be sure it is bubbling hard). and
allow to steep for five minutes.
Pour the brew off the leaves
into another pot or cups, and
serve. 1t should be remembered
that it is wrong to boil tea.

respective blends imported into

'COOPERAT|ON,' >
APP SPIRIT

The underlying spirit of the en-
tire Atlantic and Pacific organiza.
tion is cooperation, and this CO
operation extends even into the
private affairs of the employees.
Atlantic and Pacific believes, III
fact knows. that men with finan.
cial or other worries cannot give
the best that is in them. Hence
Atlantic and Pacific pay their
employees well and protect their
families with insurance.
The amount Of insurance each
employe receives is based upon
the position he or she holds and
length of service. AS seniority
and compensation grows the in,
Surance likewise increases. The
company gives and pays the pre-.
MUM on a certain amount of free
insurance, whereas the employe
through a group coverage plan is
privileged to subscribe for addi
tional insurance at low rates.
Wives and mothers will be
pleased to know that shopping at
the Atlantic and Pacific food
stores not only enables them to
buy good foods at reasonable
prices, but that by so doing they
increase the weekly earnings OF
the store managers because these
men are paid on a flat salary
and commission basis.

APP Thanks.
Are Always
Sincere

When an A&P food store
manager or clerk says thank

cerity about it which says he
means it. And he does. His
greatest aim is that you be
thoroughly pleased, whether it
be in a quick, cheerful service,
or Gf you have time) a sug.

These men represent the
heads of the A&P organiza-
ton and they know that their
position is one of trust and
confidence in dealing with
their customers.
Every AGP manager or
clerk is interested not merely
in selling foods, but in having
those foods give entire satisfac-
ton when they are placed on
the table to be served.

Lights VS.. Lives

Night accidents constitute one of the most
serious factors in the growing automobile ar
cloemt problem. A recent survey on "Publie
Safety as Affected by Street Lighting" made
by an engineer of the National Bureau of Cas-
ulty and Surety Underwriters. presents a
graphic picture of the gravity of the situation
and points to the cure.
The survey definitely proves that the old
supposition that the light provided by auto
mobile headlights is enough, is false-the
poorer the grade Of street lighting, the high
er the accident rate. For example, the night
fatality rate on streets with grade A light
ing IS seven times higher than the dav rate.
On streets with Grade B lighting it is 10 times
hgher-and on streets with Grade D lighting
It is fifteen times higher.
Thi fact carries especial force now, mas
much as many communities, in the search for
means OF cutting costs, have lowered their
street lighting standards. The result of this
policy Is found in a comparison between two
groups Of cities, one which increased street
lighting budgets while the other decreased
them In the first case, night fatalities drop
ped 70 per cent, and caused an economic saw
ing Of $2.07 per capita. In the second case,
fatalities rose rs per cent, at an economic
cost of SO cents per capita. This was poor
economy indeed-measured either in dollars or
the coin Of human lives.
Good street lighting is not a luxury-it is a
community necessity. It saves lives and
money. It is the first e~ssestial step in solving
the night accident problem.

Getting Down TO Earth

In his article, "The Future, in the Satur
day Evening Post, General johnson states
some frightfully plain truths. The one out
standing point he made is that the confidence
necessary to encourage the spending of saw
ings, the development of industry and the
employment of labor, is lacking.
"No amount of belaboring business and
talking about timidity, by men who never
conducted a business in their lives, is going
TO change these essential responsibilities " said
General Johnson. Many thoughtful and sim
cere students Of present day problems have
pointed out this fact continuously.
The government cannot discourage private
Enterprise by going into business in compe-
tltlon with II with tax-exempt plants financed
by public funds, and expect private industry
to go ahead. It simply cannot be done.
1t cannot increase expenses Of industry bv
heavier taxes, NRA requirements and extreme
regulation which drastically limits or DESTROYS
earnings or opportunities, and expect the in
weston to pOur his savings into labor produc-
ing projects.
Industry wants to go ahead, it wants to en-
ploy labor, but it cannot draw on the taxpayer
to meet deficits as can government operated in
industries. 1t has to see a change to make a
profit before it can rick its savings.

PRIVATE business cannot compete with gov

Regardless of whether one agrees with Cen
eral johnson, many Of his statements have for

OF the underlying causes that are retarding

STATESMEN OR Politicians

IL IS not congregation to say that the YER
age business man looks to a session of Con
gress with dread and uncertainty. That has
oeen especially true during the past few wears.
nlasnuch as economic stress has Led to an over
supply OF proposed remedies" for all onr fin
anclal and social ills-remedies which for the
most part, would have been worse than the dis
ease.
Nothing could do more to encourage hnsi-
ness, and the average eli izen, than a conserva-
tive, responsible attitude on the part Of tbd
present Congress. Conservatism does not ne
ceSar1ly mean "stand-patism" but il does
mean a decent regard for our Constitution As
contraSted with the ''ismS" that are attacking
IT, 1t means that in the effort to bring about
needed reforms, honest businesses will not be
sacrificed to the Gods Of Socialism. Commun-
ism or Dictatorship. 1t means that charges
OF bad faith nd crookedness should not be
hurled at American business in general bv pub
lie officials seeking temporary popularity at
public expense.
1t is the common belief that responsible
Congressman of both parties are frankly wor-
RED about radicalism within their own ranks.
1t Is hoped that the sound and sober thinking
servants of the people will be able to curb the
lrresponsibles-and help restore that priceless
element-confldence-to the people.

DON'T SOAK MINING NOW

Most authorities are now predicting a sub
stant1al rise in mining activities. If the rise
comes, the legislatures 0 the mining states
will have a good deal to say as to whether it
It to be permanent or transitory.
Before the depression, mining was contin-
ually plagued by unfair tax and regulatory
laws. The result was that normal develop
ment was slowed down even when demand for
metals was high. Jobs were lost, capital was
discouraged. Long before economic storms
swept the country in general, mining faced
many problems.
Treat mining fairly when it starts to come
back and it will contribute much to increasing
employment and purchasing power. 1t will
cause the investment of money and develop
business and industry. The benefits will be
felt far beyond the borders of the mining
states-throughout the entire nation.

LOOKING BACK"
INEQUALITY in CONDUCT OF
THE HOME
By Videtta ISL
(For The Literary Service Bureau)

1t used to be that husband and wife
worked in harmony, in conducting the
home. Usually the husband looked
after things outside and the wife
those on the inside.
Though as a general thing the wife
had her way about things in the
home, she would consult her husband
and ask suggestions. In things finan-
caal, friend husband would not make
departure from the routine of things
without consulting the wife. In
these cases husband and wife were
frank and honest with each other.
Each one sought the approval of the
other.
But now, it is not unusual to hear
the husband swear and tell the wife,
It's none of your d business
what | do Often wife loses her
temper and raves foolishly. Some
times wives are heard to insist angri-
~, This is MY house, and | have the
right to run t as 4 please Husband

spend it any way l want to- Looking
back, | consider the old way of equal
ity and cooperation best.

All Taxes Are Sales Taxes

No form of taxation is so bitterly assailed
as the sales tax. The political friends Of the
common people" have been especially viru-
let in denouncing it, on the grounds that the
burden of the tax falls more heavily on per
sons Of small and moderate means than on the
wealthy.
That Is all very well. But a very vital point
that the people do not realize is this; There is
no other kind of tax, so far as the effect is
concerned, than the sales tax.
Every tax must be paid, and paid in full.
by the ultimate consumers of goods and pro-
ducts. Every tax levied increases the cost of
necessities and ~luxuries we need and buy and
use. When we buy a pair of shoes we must
pay a score of taxes-the tax that was paid
by the raiser of the cattle, by the railroad that
transported them, by the factory that tanned
and cured the leather, by the manufacturer. bv
the distributor, and finally, that paid BY the
dealer is included in the cost Of the pair Of
shoes We get. That is trne of food, clothing
entertainment and everything else.

Preventing Fire Aids Business
Recovery

Will 1885 bring an epidemic Of de-
structive factory fires? 1t may if the
managers of industrial plants neglect
to make careful checks for fire haz-
ards that urgently need correcting,
and If they fail to put equipment that
has not been operated for some time,
into proper working condition before
stepping up production. 1t is an in
vltation to fire to rush a factory into
production when inactivity has ruled
during depressioni
AS factory operations increase, as
they eventually must, there is apt to
be a great rush for materials and an
unprecedented effort to produce fin
ished merchandise in large volume. A
fire as such a time would be disastrous
to most concerns. Multiplied a thous-
and fold, such fires would slow up
business recovery. The very eager
ness for a speedy swing into the pre-
depression stride might defeat it's own
purpose.
There is simple yet effective
plan for exposing fire hazards SO that
they may be corrected; that is, make
a detailed inspection Of the plant. In
many instances inspecting may be
done by the management itself, a
group of competent empoyes or a
committee Of both, provided a correct
correct guide is followed in the work.
Such a guide is available in the form
of a se~lf-inspection blank, which will
be furnished on request by the Nation
al Board of Fire Underwriters IS
John St., New York City. inspections
should be thorough and periodic and
all essential data should be put in
written form. 1t is evident that in
spections will be worthless, however,
unless the fire hazards discosed are
corrected at once.
Fire is one of the chief enemies Of
industry. Business men can spare
themselves much loss and worry BY
devoting sufficient time to a thought
full study Of how to prevent fire on
Their own premises, and BY inaugural
ing ar adequate system Of inspections.

Government Can't Do 1t All

During the past few years, the Federal gov
eminent has been working to develop and per-
feet farm cooperative organizations. This work
has produced excellent results-probably no
other federal farm relief activity has been so
successful.
Unfortunately, this has led to a danger that
seems to be inescapable part Of all government
ventures of the kind. A certain percentage
of farmers have come to look upon govern
ment as their economic savoir-to believe that
it, and it alone, will iron out their troubles.
solve their problems and bring them prosper
ity. Farmers who hold to this belief are OBJ
iously going to do little in their own behalf.
The fallacy Of this attitude was well express
sed recently by F. W. Peck, cooperative bank

WHAT AILS YOUNG WOMEN
By r. A. Adams

(For The Literary Service Bureau)
The thing in mind is the recklessness
of young women in exposing them
selves to all kinds of dangers, in
spite of the tragedies which are of
daily occurrence.
Many young women go joy-riding
with the whole company under the in
fluence Of run. They 60 riding with
entire strangers. They pet in motor
cars, OF highways. They have sex as
ISOLATION with men who are strangers
and risk ruin from venereal disease.
Like Barrow's Bonnie Parker, they
join men in crime. They wreck their
bodies by reckless, wild living. IN all
Of these and in other ways they dare
fate and gamble with destiny.
Is it the superiority complex which
makes a girl think she can do with
IMMUNITY what has proved destructive
to others? Is it the foolish and dan
gerous desire for excitement and no.
torietg? Is it a deadening of moral
sensibilities, bringing a condition Of
callousness and Indifference?
This conduct cannot be attributable
to lack of education for many of
these foolish young women have edu-
catonal advantages. In the light of
this manifestation Of supreme folly
n asks "What ails young women? 2"
And it is impossible to escape the CON
clusion that something is seriously
wrong.

can achieve or maintain a position as a
first-class world power without ade-
quate mineral resources, and a pro-
gresslve mining industry.
Ever thing we use in a or war
from plumbing to battleships, from
rifles to pens-involves one or more
metals. A country which is metallic
ally self contained and does not need
to import metals, has a tremendous
owe a country which must
look beyond its boundaries for mine
products.
This is one more good reason why
everything possible should be done to
bring recovery to the mines.

When The Railroads Fold I'm

On the first of the year, several
branch lines of large railroads were
abandoned in a middle western state,
The abandonment was forced-as has
been the case with thousands Of milea
of such line during the past few years
by publicly subsidized and inequita-
bic competition and regulation that
caused destruction Of railroad reve-
nues, which made it financially i'm
possible to keep on operating.
To the outside world, the abandon
ment meant little-it was a rather a
dull item in a newspaper and nothing
more. To the communities affected,
1t was tragedy. Men will lose their
jobs. Others will be transferred to
different places, and be forced to sell
their homes and possessions at bank
rupt prices-propertT in a town with
out a railroad is usually the next
thing to worthless.
IN these communities
have announced LIQUIDATION of their as
sets. Grain elevators and lumber
yards are closing down-and buildings
and equipment worth many thousands
are nov a drug on a dead market.
The towns and their counties are
losing a substantial part Of their tax
revenue, which came both from the
railroads and the businesses which
are l%iquidating. This must result in
heavier taxes on all other property,
every bit of which is worth less now
than it was when the railroad served
the community. The inevitable con-
sequence of that will be r~etrogression
ghost towns will stand in the places
that promised to be forward-looking
little cities.
Such a suicidal railroad policy,
which penalties the rails on one hand
with taxes and iron-handed regula-
ton and legislation, and pampers their
competitors on the other is response
Bile for these abandonments. No pol
icy does nor to promote depression.
