LABOR’S REPLY TO SCHWAB The American worker must reduce his standard of living to the German level. That was the brutal demand that Charles M. Schwab presented to the members of the New York Chamber of Commerce on his return from Europe. The way to restore prosperity, he said, was to cut wages. Schwab did not say anything like that during war times when, as head of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, he appealed to the workers to speed up production and invest in Liberty bonds, while at the same time he permitted his own company to gouge the government for hundreds of millions of dollars. On the contrary he urged labor to “Give until it hurts” in order that “the world may be a better place in which to live!” Labor gave without stint. Labor won the war in spite of the blundering and plundering of the Schwabs. Labor is entitled to some of the fruits of victory, and “by the eternals” it will have them or know the reason why.

THE PLACE TO BE “PESTIFEROUS” President Harding told the bankers of Washington the other night that he believed “the government should put an end^to its pfestifel’ous interference with righteous, legitimate business.” That statement made a great hit with the five hundred business men gathered around the banquet table. > . Controller of the Currency Crissinger followed the President. He said the law of supply and demand “is as dead as a New England salted mackerel.” “That there ishiow no proper relation between production cost and consumers’ cost is constantly proved,” said Mr. Crissinger. “A farmer took 22 calf skins to town and received for them the price of a pair of shoes at $12.50 and a cash balance of $1.20. “The farmer sells his fatted sheep at 8 cents per pound, but you pay $1.50 at a good hotel for one English mutton chop weighing about six ounces. / T know of a retailer who bought flannels at 42 cents a yard and'sold them at 60 cents-*-a reasonable profit. But later on he bought the same flannels at 20 cents. What did he do? He paton a sale offering these flannels at 50 cents the yard. “On the first transaction he had a margin of 43 per cent, but on the latter, made with the pretense that he was giving customer^ the befiefit of a great slash in prices, he had the unconscionable profit of 150 per cent.” No right thinking man wants the government to interfere with “righteous, legitimate business.” But the people of this coun try want their public officials to indulge in all kinds of “pestiferous interference” with the kind of business described by the Con

troller.—Labor.

Mrs. Gill, who presided over the city manager debate in the court room Tuesday night, is the head of a woman’s vating club recently organized in the commercial club headquarters. Mrs. Gill showed that she was a real politician by sing the gavel and ordering every bod y^tn shut ,i /n who to heckle the champion ol city management" Clarence B. Vyreen of Dayton. Mrs. Gill will learn, when she becomes older in politics that voters, attending political meetings, are not in the habit of being told where to get off, by the chair, or anyone else. That’s where politics and pint teas differ.

The Hon. John J. Hoover of Dayton, speaking here in opposition to the city manager form of government, stated that the com moii people of Dayton oppose the system and that to become i member of the commission it is necessary to have the endorsemeit of the big interests of that city. The big interests of Muncie notably the commercial club and public utilities favor the manage: form.

Clarence B. Green, Director of the Bureau of Public Researcl of Dayton, was declared by the Star to be the winner in the city manager debate held in the court room Tuesday night. The Sta’ says the facts and figures supplied by the resarchful Clarence made him the winner. The figures referred to were probably those aboui the local waterworks. Part of Clarence’s duties as director of public research of Dayton seems to be to stand with a four quart measure at the mouth of the sewer at Muncie and measure the amount of water wasted by the waterworks company. By Clar ence’s computation something like forty leven billion gallons of water were unaccounted for last year, the coal cost for pumping same amounting to twelve thousand dollars. Clarence ought tell his troubles to the waterworks company. Instead he accused the council' and mayor of Muncie. He thought the city owned the waterworks, and when a member of the audience sought to correchis silly statement, Mrs. Gill banged the table with the gavel and he was permitte dto drivel on without interruption.

PRESIDENT HARDING ON NATIONAL ECONOMY I know of no more pressing problem at home than to restrict our national expenditures within the limits of our national income and at the same time measurably lift the burdens of war taxatior from .the : shoulders of the American people. One cannot be unmindful that economy is a much employee cry, most frequently stressed in pre-election appeals, but it is our? to make it an outstanding and ever impelling purpose in both iegis latioh and administration. The unrestrained tendencies to heed less expenditure and the attending growth of public indebtedness extemlihg from federal authority to that of state and municipality and including the smallest political subdivision, constitute th( most dangerous phase of government today. The nation cannol restrain except in its own activities, but it can be exemplar in £ wholesome reversal. The staggering load of war debt must be cared for in orderly funding and gradual liquidation. We shall hasten the solution ant aid effectively in lifting the tax burdens if we strike resolutely expenditure. It is far more easily said than done. In the feve of war our expenditures were so little questioned, the emergency was so impelling, appropriation was so unimpeded that we litth noted millions and counted the treasury inexhaustible. It wil strengthen our resolution if we ever keep in mind that a continua tion of such a course means inevitable disaster. Our current expenditures are running at the rate of approxi mately five billions a year, and the burden is unbearable. There are two agencies to be employed in correction: One is a rigid resistance in appropriation and the other is the utmost economy ir administration. Let us have both. I have already charged department heads with this necessity; I am sure Congress will agree and both Congress and the administration may safely count or the support of all right minded citizens, because the burden if theirs. The pressure for expenditure, swelling the flow in one lo cality while draining another, is sure to defeat the imposition oi just burdens, and the effect of our citizenship protesting outlay wifi Be wholesome and helpful. I wish it might find its reflex ir economy and thrift among the people themselves, because thereir lies quicker recovery and added security for the future.—From President Harding’s First Message to Congress.

THREE BORN ON LINER New York—Nobody broke a bottle of champagne on them, but they have been named Baltic, Olympic and Adriatic. “They” means three babies born on the liner Adriatic, whi'ch arrived from Cherbourg'last week. They are the children of three steerage couples and were named after ships.

GOT WREATH, NOT DEAD Detroit—After receiving a beautiful floral wreath from his fellow members on the jury who believer} him dead, A. E. French walked into the court and thanked them, but assured them positively that he was alive ,and kicking. When he did not appear for duty the report spread that he had died.

Might may make right—but it just as often makes fight. * * * Don’t lie awake nights listening for Opportunity to knock—get a good sleep and then go out and hunt it up. * * * You don’t want to know what people really think of you. You know what you think of other people would only make them feel bad. * * * Someone has said that the kangaroo has everything beat for jumping. Guess this fellow hasn’t had his eye on the price of living. # * * Rockefeller is taking to giving back the money which the people have entrusted to his kindly care for safe keeping. We would be pleased to receipt for our pro rata at any moment, * * * Many a woman makes the claim that her hubby is an open book. We have seen blank books. * * * You do not have to be a “stick” to be a spoke in the v/heel of progress. * * * Many marry as an investment and have to make up a deficit. * * * Money considerations have broken up more friendships than all other things combined. * * * You just can’t keep a woman from telling how much her husband is making, provided it is enough to talk about. * * * Many of the so-called rich are our greatest objects of charity—because of getting so much that they don’t

earn.

* * * You can without fear say things to i man’s face that you wouldn’t dare to say behind his back within his wife’s hearing. * * * Open up on the knocker. * * * Many things are never done that are often tried, but nothing is ever done that is never tried. * * * Bryan may not be as popular with the voters as others, but he has a speaking acquaintance with most of

them.

* * * Early training and surroundings affect a person’s later life. The father of the Wright boys is a preacher—a ’>ky pilot. \ j * * * Fourteen karat hens’ eggs were recently quoted at 80c in Seattle and Twellers of that city report that even m the instalment plan sales were slow. * * * Girls will declare that they are just •#nzy to get married—and they would lot be if they weren't. * - * * Lots of folks do not want to go to 'leaven for fear they will never get

chere.

* * * Life is a complex problem at best, ;o live it as simply as possible. * * * Many folks still wonder why the appendix was put in man. It is our humble opinion that surgeons could testify that it serves a very useful purpose. * * * He who always goes along his own way is likely to spend many lonesome

hours.

* * * Nine times out of ten the wife isn’t proud of the husband who obeys her every whini—and certainly he can’t be .iroud of himself. * * * Many people are like frogs—croaking when they are right in the swim. * % * Trying to go ahead too fast puts many people far behind. * * * How can there be love at first sight when love is said to be blind? * * * Good cooking is the best thing in the world for a man’s morals. * * * Men who go to the pen may not necessarily be writers, but they are usually authors of crime. * * * Hot air doesn’t raise anyone permanently. * * * Doesn’t it get your goat when you have told a good story and have got ten a good laugh on it, to have someone say, “Well, now, I heard it this .vay” and proceed to make some minor correction that doesn’t change the /oint of the story? # * * Pretty soon the height of immodesty will be for a girl to allow the least oortion of her ears to be exposed, but those who profess to know about such things say that before long a porus plaster will make an elaborate evening gown. * * * More men fall from being lightbeaded than because they can’t balance what they have in their upper stories. Fear of critism keeps a great many people from doing a lot of rash things.

15 and between New York and Chicago on June 1, operated by the Great Lakes Airways and the Lawson Air Lines Co., respectively. Later lines will be established between New York and Atlanta and between Pittsburg

and St. Louis.

More business but less orofit. That’s the story of the Fifth Avenue Coach Co., which operates 271 buses in New York City. At the close of their fiscal year their records showed 6,064,2(52 more passengers were carried than for the previous year. A total vf 42,552,709 passengers were carried 8,796,195 omnibus miles. Increased maintenance costs and larger wages contributed to the shrinkage in earnings.

The most neglected man in the entire realm of motordom is the race mechanician. Although the driver gets all the credit it’s his “hefii r” who does the real work. He gets 10 per c/nt of the money in case they win and 90 per cent of the blame if they lose. He must watch a dozen dials on the dash he must read the signs of the pit men, he must watch the tires, and if the car gets in a spill he must stay by the wreckage while the driver struts before the cheering throngs.

The high cost of motoring has taken a tumble! A big Akron tire manufac-^ turer has announced a reduction of 2u per cent in the price of tires. The announcement said that you can now buy five tires for the price of four—or get your spare tire ftee of charge. With the price of gas steadily receding things are beginning to look up for the eight or nine million motorists

of the country.

A. W. Campbell, dominion commissioner of highways, says that Canada’s 17,000 miles of interlocking highways will he completed in / | .92:!. The tota}, cost will be mope than $50',000-,000, to be partly .paid by tl£ based on population. Of this amount thei dominion furnished $20,000,000 while the provinces supply the jest. One of the biggest motor organizations of the world is the Tin Can Tourists of the World with a membership of nearly 50.000 extending, into every state in the Union and Canada, Mexi■o, Australia and England. The T. C T. W. is devoted to the interest of motor camping tourists. The national officers are: G. M. Tremain, Fredonia, N. Y., Royal Tin Can Opener ; Mrs. W. H. Husselman. Butler, Ind., Royal Sevetary; and Mrs. J. L. Truesdale, Minneapolis, Minn., Royal Treasurer.

Wheat straw gasoline! Ever hear of it? The United States Department of Agriculture says that one ton ' of v/heat straw will produce the quivaDnt of 40 gallons of gasoline. Kansas in 1919, with an acreage of 11,640,000 could have produced the equivalent of 46.000,000 gallons of “gas.” It may not be many years before farmers will throw straw from their threshing machines into stills. The present bugbear is the cost of production.

GIRL KILLED BY LAUGHING London—Seeing a man and woman kissing on Victoria Station, Hilda May Henton, a 16-year-old girl, laughed so heartily that she began to cough. Soon she collapsed and died before a doctor arrived. It was found that the congestion of the thyroid gland, which had caused suffocation, had been aggravated by the laughter.

OWLS TO HUNT ROACHES London—A great naturalist has invented a new kind of hawking. He trains the small owl, which is multiplying in England more rapidly than any other bird, to hawk hlackbeetles. The bird sits perfectly still until it hears the roach, and then pounces on it.

COMMISSIONERS ALLOWANCES

ORDERS FATHERS TO SPANK Shelbyville, Ind.—Two Shelbyville youths arrested the other day for “borrowing” bicycles from factory employes were taken to the basement of the City Building and spanked by their fathers. Mayor Hoop ordered the spankings.

SCOTLAND YARD’S HONOR ROLL London—Scotland Yard has a roll of honor om which are the names of 283 one-time crooks who gave their lives in the defense of their country during the war. One gained the Victoria Cross, two the Distinguished Conduct Medal and other various decorations.

COSTLY SLIPPER New York—John Donovan, a seafaring man with a size 12 foot, purchased “sight unseen” for $18.50 a trunk at the annual auction of effects of s,camen who died at sea or deserted their craft. The trunk contained nothing but one Chinese slipper.
