NO LONGER A LABOR QUESTION

The labor situation has reached
a point where it affects every citizen
The unlawful occupation of prop
erty by workers to enforce their de-
mands. and the breakdown of our
law enforcement agencies in pro-
tecting the property owner, is a new
experience in the United States. II
is but one step removed from revo-
luton.
II one class of citizens can dis
possess another class of the use of
their property, it is only a step fur
ther to take over such property per-
manently. We have witnessed that
in Russia and Spain.
II workmen stop and think, they
will see that they are destroying
their own safety and liberty when
they foment revolutionary practices.
Thoughtful persons who have the
best interests Of workers at heart,
can only warn them against such tao
tics which in the long run will lose
unless government stability is de-
stroyed-then what?

Scrap Boxes
Lydia Lien Roberts

III you want anything, ask Grand
ma and she'll have it In her scraI
box" said boy one day to his play
mate. "She has string and nails and
buttons and sticks and almost any
thing you could need"
II there are children In the home,
there should be little put into waste
baskets, because In the tumultuous
and exciting days of lusty boys and
eager little girls there is a use for
nearly everything. Kites need to be
mended suddenly, dolls must have
certain accessories and many a
game requires slips of paper and
pencils. Then, too, handicraft or ex-
periments may be furthered II va
riety of materials from which to
choose, are quickly available. There
is no foretelling which unassuming
piece of iron, tin, cloth or other ma
terial may save the day for the
young inventor, or to what impor-
tance humble screw, empty bottle
or old dish may be promoted by the
fertile minds of an active group of
children.
One understanding aunt created
delight among the little folks of a
certain household by sending them,
every few months, box OF odds and
ends, gathered from her office and
small apartment. 1t contained such
things as blank books, colored enve-
lopes, a big bunch of pencils too
short for Office use, scraps Of silk
and artificial flowers, souvenir coins.
buttons and gay advertising medals
and flags. She knew we'll that these
would help to provide new opportun-
tiles for nimble fingers and alert
minds.
Another woman who works in
store which receives much advertis-
ing matter, saved the prettiest col
ored pictures and calendars, mount
ed them on cardboard and cut them
into puzzle portions. Each puzzle
was placed in an envelope and when
there were half a dozen or more
ready, she sent them in a box to
some boys who lived in the noun
tains, far away from stores.
A father who still remembered
his own boyhood, though he had now
two boys of his own, kept special
wooden box in the cellar in which
he put practically everything dis
carded and broken. The boys had
wonderful times trying to repair old
clecks, and using parts of egg beat
ers and other utensils in their ex-
periments.
A certain omther kept a pretty
box, about ten by fifteen inches In
size, for her special scrap box, and
gave it to the children only on rainy
days. IN it she put jokes and poems.
pictures of children, bright buttons
and braid, and many discarded
things from the various departments
of the household, which she knew
the children would enjoy playing
with for a while. A new lamp shade
came we'll wrapped In strips of cell
Iophane; this she folded into sepa-
rate packages for the scrap box, and
later the children trimmed party
table with it. Cards from an old Of
fee file, about to be thrown away,
were rescued by the father who
knew all about the box. These were
later used by the children in playing
office" and in many other ways,
keeping them happy for hours.

WHAT IL TRAFFIC CONTROL!

A noted traffic authority recently
discussed the traffic accident prob
lem in terms of three types of safety
The first is personal safety. the
necessity for protecting the limbs
and lives of us all.
The second is moral safety, the
necessity for building an apprecia-
tion of the values of proper regula-
ton. Motor vehicle traffic inevitably
involves the law and law observance.
Disregard for the laws Of the road,
even the minor ones. breeds con-
tempt and disregard for more serious
rules of society, especially among the
yong, for in the early stages disre-
spect for law masquerades as adven-
ture.
The third is the need for protect
ing the economic benefits which ac-
crue from the widespread use OF the
automobile. Traffic accidents not
only cost millions of dollars directly
through lost earning power, lost
time, hospital expenses and repair
bills-they also push down property
and rental values, slow up business
turnover, reduce the value OF invest
ment portfolios. large and small.
Our understanding of the traffic
problem might be better served IL
in thinking about 1t we substitute for
the relatively narrow term traffic
safety" the more accurate term "traf-
fic control" Traffic control means
the application of certain logical
to motor vehicular move
ment which will at once ease conges-
ton and reduce hazard.
An important step in the direction |
of effective traffic control is the pub
lication OF the handbook Creating |
Safer Communities" Published by |
state motor vehicle and safety au-
thorities In "a states in cooperation
with the National Bureau Of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters. the hand
book tells how to set up a community
traffic safety organization and pre-
sents a series of procedures for re-
iucing accidents by removing their
causes. 1t describes how essential
accident information is secured. II
gives Instructions for developing en-
engineering and educa-
ional programs in line with advanc-
ID, tested methods of making traffic
iafer and less congested.
In Just this kind of coordinated
approach to traffic prob
ems can we hope to achieve mastery

AN ENvIABLE RECORD

Every citizen Of this country who
takes an interest in current affairs
has heard thousands of words OF
political" criticism Of the electric
industry, along with various pleas
for putting the government into the
power business as a competitor as
well as regulator.
These citizens might be interested
in also hearing some facts concern
ing the industry that can't be hid
den by political and prejudice or
specious theories.
Regarded purely on a dollar and
cents basis, the industry is one of
our major national possessions. Its
value is about $4,000, ,000,000-the
second largest investment of any
American industry. 1t serves 26,000,-
900 customers. Its annual taxes are
we'll in excess of $250,000, 900. 1t has
millions of security-owners. Its an
nual construction budget runs into
the hundreds of millions and. ac-
cording to spokesmen for the indus
try, would pass billion were 1t free
from political persecution.
1t has given America the finest
standards of power service In the
world. Failure of service is virtually
unknown-and due to the magic OF
interconnection of facilities the cit
izen of a small town gets service as
good as the citizen of a great city.
And 1t provides this service at an al
most miraculously low cost.
A few decades ago kilowatt hour
of electricity cost 20 cents. Now. on
a national average, 1t costs about 4
cents. Electricity is the only impor-
tant item in the cost of living in
dex" that has constantly gone down
in cost, year after year, irrespective
of the trend of the general price
level. For example, since 1888, COM
modify prices have risen IS per cent.
Electricity has gone down Is per
cent.
These are facts-simple and unar-
guable. Do they indicate that, as so
many politicians say, the electric
industry is robbing the people and
their social and economic
Or do they indicate that
this great industry has made an en-
piable record in discharging its re-
sponsibility to the public?

OUTLAwING INVESTMENT
IGNORANCE

J. NJ. B. Hoxsey of the New Yorl
Stock Exchange, recently described
some OF the Exchanges most impor.
tant requirements for listing securi.
ties, picking them from a long and
exhaustive list. Here are some Of
| them:
The Exchange refuses to list non
voting common stock.
II demands that the ultimate cor
porate control of subsidiary COM
panies applying for listing be fully
disclosed.
1t requires that corporation state
ments be audited by independent ac-
countants, except In the case of cor
porations which are publicly regu-
lated.
1t requires that all corporations
disclose their depreciation policy,
and not change II without notice.
II requires corporate accounts to
be kept in accordance with clear, ac-
cepted principles of accounting.
1t requires disclosure of any
change In the collateral securing
listed bonds.
II is apparent that each Of these
stipulations, like the scores of
others laid down by the Exchange,
was born Of but one idea-to give
the fullest protection to the invest
ing public. AS Mr.. Hoxsey said.
1.-The affairs of companies listed on
the Exchange are given publicity to
a greater extent, believe, than any
thing else in the world" The inves-
tor who wishes to, can provide him
self with all essential knowledge
a corporation.
New rulings are constantly being
studied and periodically adopted.
Even as the Exchange has outlawed
mlsinformation, It is doing its ut
most to outlaw ignorance on the
part OF the security buyer and seller.
