COSTS or SICKNESS

1t has been estimated that the
heavy industries employing about
15.0OO.OOO people suffer losses of
about $9OO,G9O,OOO year due to
sickness of workers. These figures
apparently do not include the ex-
penses which the sick people incur
il caring for themselves. and the
heavy industries include only Il
minor fraction of all workers.
There are few things in life that
work with perfect regularity. Ma
chimes often break down, and pro-
cesses stop until the equipment is
repaired. The human machine is the
most complicated of all. Some peo-
pie give it less care than they do
their automobiles. When Mr.. A is
sick, he is not the only loser. The
concern that employs him finds
work impeded. Some part of our
cost of living is due to sickness and
absence of workers.

SPRING1- TIME is CLEANUP
TIME. and the City officials, headed
by Mayor Evans, are urging the citi-
zens of Milford to clean up their
yards and gardens. and paint-uT
their homes. Mayor Evans has
taken the initiative and proclaimed
period for CLEANUP that extends
from April Sth until the Both.
Each year about this time those
in authority have called upon the
residents to cleanup their proper
ties. and the response has generally
been gratifying. This year, how
ever, the plan is not only to clean
up the homes but see that some OF
the unsightly spots about the city
are either cleaned up or entirely
eliminated; the spots alluded to are
the city dumps which are not only
unsightly but unsanitary. and the
baby dumps in back of several of
our leading stores on Walnut street.
While the babies" mentioned are
out of sight. and we are familiar with
the saying that out of sight is out of
mind, nevertheless those who have
been in back of some of these store
houses know that such a condition
should not be tolerated. We have
it on excellent authority that a fair
amount of time is going to be al
lowed for this type of cleanup; and
If at the expiration of this time, no
action has been taken. then the City
Fathers will invoke the nuisance"
ordinance.
When it is all said and done, the
primary purpose of the cleanup per-
iOd is to help our city to live up to
its name of the GARDEN CITY OF

terrible remote. They found before
long that that remote event was go
ing, to affect their lives more than
almost any public event that had
ever happened in their lifetime.
In spite of this aloOfness, the war
soon came close home to them. They
were deeply stirred by such things
as the invasion of Belgium. German
submarines attacked and sunk Am
erican ships and ships which had
Americans ON board. The people
rose in wrath and declared war, in
spite of all their inhibitiOHs against
participation in the messes of Eu-
rope.
Will history repeat itself? Will the
American people, who are now so
reluctant to interfere in the con-
flicts of Europe. again be drawn into
the chasm of blood by intolerable
attacks on their rights?
There are two reasons why ap-
parently they will not be, though one
can't be sure of any future in such
a warning world. One is that the
American people feel thoroughly dis
guested with the results of the World
War. They made great sacrifices
and feel they accomplished little or
nothing The second reason is that
the German government. prOflting by
the lessons of the past, seems rather
careful about exciting American
wrath. II should continue TO show
such care.

be ont Of order if it ceased moving.
Fifteen minutes spent in a school
recess are perhaps the best way to
cut down the wiggle.

CIfITnREn nANCING

Dance teachers are saying there
should be a restoration of charm and
culture on the dance floor, They do
their best to make their art a grace
full and beautiful one, in which hui
man personality shall shine, and fas-
cinate the world through the grace
of rhythm and the inspiration of
