A New Law.

One Of Americas greatest experiments
in industrial regulation begins today
as the Fair Labor Standards Act goes
into effect.
Designed to bring measure Of better
living and working conditions to millions
Of workers in interstate commerce, the
new law places floor under wages and
ceiling over hours. Theoretically, the
result should be increased earnings for
many now working and job opportuni-
ties, created by the restriction on work.
ing hours, for many now unemployed.
In thousands OF enterprises covered
by this act there will be no change as
prevailing wage and hour standards equal
or exceed those OF the law. But thou
sands Of others will feel the effects Of
the new requirements and in their
eventual adaptability to them lies the
degree of success or failure OF the ex-
pertinent.
Already, a few employers have an
nounced their determination to discon-
tinue operating rather than attempt to
meet the standards Of the law. Their
action has been condemned by the wage
hour administrator. Their precipitate
action probably will be matched in other
cases by unreasonable haste OF employees
in invoking the courts to punish viola
tors. With equal justification, the ad-
ministrator has appealed for restraint
in this regard.
While extreme differences of opinion
exist as to the wisdom of the entire ex-
pertinent, it must be recognized that it
Is now the law of the land and that its
operation is of vital importance to the
Nation. In such circumstances the only
realistic attitude would seem to be one
of judicious administration and reason
able acceptance, at least during a trial
period.

THIS AND THAT
~ CHARLES 4. TRACEWELL.

But the poor and the mediocre stand
for something attempted.
See those hardy chrysanthemums, too
tall. too eaten up by tiny spiders.
The flowers which top them are lovely,
and crown the whole. They stand for
ideas at work. What II the result is not
perfect? What difference does it make?
The whole world has gone crazy on
criticism, finding fault, plain nagging.
What Is needed is the high-class mind
which Is willing to overlook, to be tol-
Grant, to refuse to look at what IS
plainly not intended to be looked at. This
Is not hiding ones head in the sand,
but simply being decent. 1t is not de-
featist attitude. because 1t recognizes de-
feat and looks beyond It,
A++
Things do change.
This is plainly seen in the growing
vegetative life Of the garden.
There is . regular cycle, mostly ending
In decay and death.
1t is . wholesome lesson to be able to
find these changes both instructive and
tolerable.
The wise gardener will not writhe at
the sight Of q worm eating his plants,
gnawing the heart out Of his rose, rid
ding the green leaf, but will realize
that the worm must eat, being worm.
All phases OF the garden life are toll
cradle and understandable, II the sight
seer there does not set up false and i'm
possible standards beforehand. built on .
juvenile desire to be perfect" and Of
pattern, and to demand the same from
other people and things.
How sturdily the old altheas hold their
leaves!
They refuse to part with them, as II
realizing only too well that certain be-
holders will shrink askance from natural
changes.
Let them. There is no helping It, The
world hopes for the slow growth Of more
high-class minds, to take the place Of
the low-class ones. Gardens, as we'll AZ
humans, would benefit.
Then in the fall and during the win
ter, the seemingly bare picture would be
as interesting and beautiful as any, al
though lacking the green leaves and
colorful blossoms about which the world
raves in season.
Then the long trunks Of trees are seen
to perfection. Lanky boughs stand
forth as they never did in summer, re-
vealing the true secret Of tree symmetry
at last.
The faded blossoms of our last chry-
santhemums take on a new, strange
beauty, which the japanese, those mas
ter flower lovers, call by 4 name all its
own.
Withering and decay are not nasty
things, an affront to modern pep" and
beauty, but become purely natural and
hence necessary, in the last inevitable
sense.

Song to Sorrow.

Sorrow. come not in the spring,
When the birds are carroling--
Bobolink and nightingale
In the dusk Of copse and vale,
Starred with early blossoming-
Sorrow, come not in the spring.
Nor in golden summer. come.
When the bees low, lazy hum
Tells with honey, he's replete;
And the heavy air Is sweet.
With the scent Of peach and plum
Nor In golden summer, come.
Sorrow, come not in the fall,
When the vines against the wall,
And the branches overhead
Flaunt their flaming robes Of red;
And the sheaves Of wheat are tall
Sorrow, come not in the Fall.
But when winter days are here,
When the grass Is brown and sere-
When the snow and sleet and 1air
Beat upon my window-pane-
II you must, It's then appear,
When the winter days are here!

The late October garden r. not lln-
interesting place, with the last Of the
chrysanthemums and New England
asters, but still the gardening eye will
f1nd It sadly in decline, unless the eye
is fortified with . determination to find
beauty.
Once this Is done, the late autumn
garden, with its dead ANIMALS, and lack
Of leaves, becomes as interesting 4 place
as any, for 1t shows better than most
that beauty Is in the seeing eye, not
alone in the shapes and outlines Of ma
terial things.
In other words, . high-class mind u
what is necessary.
The world Is full Of low-class minds.
Maybe that Is one OF the things which
is the matter with the present world
by "present-d day world" We all mean the
humans in 1t, do We not? The beasts of
the field and the birds Of the air, and
great leviathans in the sea-these are
all the same as ever, untouched by the
'jitters" Of the present age.
The low-class mind, As we may call 1t,
Is q mind whose one aim iS to be like
everybody else.
This means that only superficial de-
tails OF appearance are what interest 1t.
The aim Of such mind is to 50 live, so
dress, 80 be, that no other persons, look
ing, can see q single material fault to
criticise.
Criticism, in other words, is the great
fear Of this low-class mind.
All life hinges upon this idea Of like
ness.
Persons who meet this idea are to this
mind right and satisfying. Nothing
else, nor any one else, is. Superficial
things make = mighty appeal. the truly
enduring things none at all, or very
little, at the most.
The high-class mind operates on an
other principle.
1t believes that things are what they
ought to be, rather than what they are.
1t understands the failures Of life,
and makes allowances for them
It does not demand that all persons
meet . type, nor that all life be judged
merely from its surface appeal
Owners Of this mind are able to see
perfection where none exists, either ac-
tually or figuratively; they try to see
what another intended to do, and then
to give him credit for it just the same
as II he had not failed.
This mind. viewing a garden, will see
1t as it should be. not as 1t Is.
Owners Of gardens everywhere may
wish that all their guests and visitors
would be Of this mind
-
The fall garden at this time is mix
ture Of intentions, some of them good,
some mediocre, some poor.

Twenty Years Ago
The World Var Day by Day
October "A, 1918.

On the Valenciennes front, the British
won 4 notable victory. Storming forward
on q seventeen-mile front south of the
Belgian border, they made three and one
half miles in places, taking ten villages
and many prisoners. German resistance
was crushed at this point.
The French made an important ad-
vance between the Disc and the Serre,
reaching the western outskirts of Normal
Forest and the edge Of lie Quesnoy. In
4 surprise attack on each side Of the
Meuse, Americans hit two smashing
blows, breaking the Freya stellung.

The Juggernaut.

Why the commander of Japan's forces
now pressing on Hankow thunders the
invaders determination not only to
crush Chinese resistance, but ito fight
any nation that dares to interfere with
their purpose will be better understood
after today's disclosure of German
japanese plans for exclusive exploita-
ton rights in China in the Far Eastern
Survey, the research service of the
American Council of the Institute Of
Pacific Relations.
The scheme to convert the vast Chi
nese market into a German-Japanese
playground, with Italy as "a minor
Junior partner is unveiled with a
wealth of detail. 1t links up Munich
with Canton. Thus is the map Of the
world being remade by the totalitarian
powers, while the democracies stand by
wringing their hands and viewing with
alarm, but doing nothing to arrest the
progress of the juggernaut, west and
east.
Germany" says the Far Eastern Sur
vey, "is backing a Japan over Asia
move against the same Western powers
she forced to retreat in Europe. Munich
has only stimulated this 'Drang mach
Osten' (drive to the EasD across two
continents The purpose, OF course, Is
to obliterate British and French land,
eventually, no doubt, Americana trade
in China and Manchukuo. The next
move may be demands from Toxic on
London and Paris to clear out, respec-
lively, of Hong Kong and Indo-China.
That such program would have Berlin
support is indicated by the facts now
laid before Western eyes.
These are some of them:
/. Germany has loaned $4,000 900
to Manchukuo as first installment OF
loan program. Made while Japan
was financially limited in Manchuria
by her campaign in China, this war
loan came as Germany was reducing
her investments in China proper.
2. II Japan conquers China, Ger
many will re-enter the Chinese mar
ket as Japan's ally. At present,
China's repayment of German loans
and the amounts reserved, but not
used, for development of China busi-
ness probably cover the current cost
of German investment in the Japan
Manchukuo economic bloc. Hence,
without additional direct expenditure,
Germany is prepared to capitalize on
the weakness of the Western powers
both in Europe and the Far East.
3. Malnstay of Germany's pre-de-
preston Far Eastern trade was her
demand for Manchurian soya beans,
supplying cheap edible fats. The
Reich thus became Manchurias best
customer
4. While German exports and Japa-
nese imports are decreasing, there is
marked increase in German-Japanese
trade. German business in Japan
throughout the China war has had
preferential treatment. The Reich's
share in imports has nearly doubled.
Germans profit by advance news Of
impending import restrictions.
During the European crisis, Toxic es-
tablished the China Affairs Bureau" as
camouf1aged protectorate over the
country now overrun by the Japanese
Army. AS the Far Eastern Survey
points out, ut is within the framework Of
such a protectorate that German
Japanese politico-economic cooperation
could best be realized and extended
at the expense of the same powers that
bowed to the threat of force in Europe"
That events are marching fast in that
direction seems amply established.

A-lingerin' on the rivers brink
To watch the npples play:
A-watchin' silvery clouds that float
Acrost the crystal skies,
Or stoppin' by the hour to note
The dancin' butterflies!
I might have been a-savin' coin
An pilin' bricks on stone,
An findin' easy folks to join
Their money with my own.
An yet whene'er I think of it,
My heart grows warm and gay,
I somehow don't begrudge q bit
