SUMMER -fX T HAT 5 s the best season of the year? SumIS BEST \\ mer, to most people—though the other seaOFALL f V sons, especially spring, have their charms. And the older you get, the more you will like summer, the more you will dread winter. Spring corresponds to our babyhood. It is the sprouting season, full of hope, dreams, uncertainty, danger of frost. Autumn is like the waning years of life, when we harvest as we have sown, when we suffer for our negligence and mistakes and are rewarded for our effort. Most of us, when we look backward in the autumn of life, say: “If I only had my life to live over again * * *” Winter, of course, corresponds to human death, the hibernating of old growth until new growth is ready to sprout and bud. All three of these seasons are preparatory to or the aftermath of summer. And summer is the period of LIFE—of accomplishment—symbolic of the lives we are living. Lucky are you who have survived the frosts of life's springtime. Your crop of success is started. Toil and weed, for autumn of life will be upon you before you are aware. For results, it’s now or never. SHALL American Legion national headquarters WE SHUT at Indianapolis has announced an essay eonDOOR? X test among school children on the subject, “Why America Should Prohibit Immigration for Five Years.” That is a rather peculiar subject to put up to school children. It is byino means agreed even among persons most closely in touch with the situation that immigration should be prohibited for any length of time or even restricted to its present extent. Why should the legion ask school children to write on one side only of a controversial subject? There would be more reason to the contest if they were permitted to write on both sides. For there are two sides to the immigration question, two sides which must be takpn into consideration. It. is true that through immigration many undesirable persons take up their residence in thjs country. It is equally true that many persons are contending that the better class of immigrants is needed. Compulsory education has led to more voluntary higher education and such education leads to more seekers after “white collar” jobs and fewer seekers after jobs in which it is necessary to work with the hands. There is too much of a tendency to teach that an educated person, even one with only a high school education. should be above working with his hands. This situation is largely responsible for the shortage of labor and for the high salary paid artisans, while “white collar” salaries remain low. There is no objection to “white collar” ambitions. but as long as these ambitions are cultivated among our own people a way must he found to take care of the more menial jobs. Immigration, many contend, is the only solution of this problem. The immigrant must be called on to do the necessary manual labor, they say. The lack of manual laborers has led to the development of labor saving machinery and this is a progressive step. But it will be many years before a great deal of manual labor can be dispensed with. Meanwhile men to do the work must be obtained, j The American Legion may be right in its contention that immigration should be stopped for five years, but it certainly is a big subject for a school boy or girl to tackle.

LASKER'S A L LASKER, retiring head of the United LAST / \ States sh ippiner board, ‘‘world's greatest LUXURY 1 \ salesman ."is going out of office in a blaze of priory. Al’s “swan song” bids fair to rank with the most costly peace-time luxuries ever charged to the public purse of any people. Froissart, that quaint chronicler of the sixteenth century, tells us that the wildest of ail medieval royal orgies. “The Field of the Cloth of Gold.’’ cost the monarchies of Francis I of France and Henry \ 111 of England more than a million dollars! Belshazzar pave a feast to a thousand of his lords, hut the night of the banquet, shortly after the mysterious hand wrote the fatal “mene. mene, tekel upahrisin” upon the wall, the secretary of the Babylopian treasury disappeared with the books and we do not know just what Belshazzar’s dinner cost the taxpayers of Babylon. Estimates now made of A1 Lasker’s joy ride of the Leviathan. which will sail from Boston -Tune 19 for a six days’ “colorful crpise in the cerulean Caribbean,” with 600 of Al’s friends on board, will cost the taxpayers of the United States some $2,000,000. Tnat is two-thirds the cost of the Lincoln monument! One way and another “Al” has been a mighty costly luxury to the plain people of his country. We don’t know how much the total deficits of the shipping board have been, because we haven’t discovered any two accountants who can agree, but it runs into the hundred millions—everybody, even Al, admits that much. Rut now he is going to quit with one grand and expensive final flourish. He says so and we are bound to take a gentleman’s word and believe him.

UNCLE SAM PERFECTS LATEST WORD IN TANKS

Preparations for ‘Next War’ Go Forward Under Army’s Direction, By ROBERT TALLEY WASHINGTON, iune 11.—Mighty ! battleships of the dry 7and are being j developed by the United States Army for the "next war.” Great. blunt nosed monsters. Thirty tons of the strongest steel. Roaring gasoline engines of 328 horsepower. Armor plate as thick as your finger. Caterpillar treads that crush barbed-wire entanglements like they were the merest spider-webs and step across wide trenches. The World War brought forth the tank, hut it was poorly developed then. Even so, the opposing infantry stampeded before them every time. The Kaiser's best trained troops ran like scared jack rabbits and the allies' men did the same. In a dense forest on the ('amp Meade military reservation near here the other afternoon they staged “The Charge of the Tank Brigade.’ From the foliage-obscured distance arose a muffled throbbing, followed by a rend ing, tearing, crashing noise and the swish of falling trees. Powerful steel monsters, as big as street cars, crashing along at two miles an hour, pushing down trees like a relentless Juggernaut as big as a mans body. Several times a particularly Mg tree resisted the bluntnosed monster's approach: the latter merely hacked off a little and “bucked” it, with the result tree went crashing to the earth. At the end of an hour that forest looked like a cane brake In which a herd of wild elephants had run amuck. “The latest word in Army tanks,” repeated Colonel Rockenhach. “hut still not what we want. We want one that will travel twelve miles an hour across a battlefield and do twenty miles an hour over a road.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

G, 0, P, Leader Maintains President Has Placed Wet and Dry Issue and World Court Question Squarely as Issues in 1924. By JOHN CARSON Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 11. -Three times recently President VV Harding has defied the political judgment ill his party and in his Cabinet. World court and prohibition were the two issues cited recently as unsatisfactory. On both, it is now charged, the President was playing “Ohio politics.”

On prohibition, the feeling in eastern Republican circles is more intense than it is on the world court idea. Throughout the East there is the note of rebellion and the hint if the President “wants to play Ohio politics,” the rule will be every man for himself in 1924. Talking today to one of the Republicans, destined without doubt to gain recognition as one of the most astute of Republican politicians. “Every one is for law enforcement and he gets nothing by that.,” contended the politician. "All he does is make the voters believe he is radically dry in sentiment and that he believes in everything the Anti-Saloon League advocates.” “And your point is he makes, for instance, Senator Wadsworth of New York uncomfortable,” was suggested. Wadsworth Won’t Sacrifice Self "Absolutely,” was the reply. "When the time comes, do you think Wadsworth is going to sacrifice himself just to let the President play Ohio politics.” This comes from a Republican who insists he is for Harding! that he will be regular to the last, that Harding will bo renominated without trouble —but that there is every reason to doubt Harding can be re-elected. On the world court plan the Republicans. who are politically with the President, can be numbered on the fingers of two hands. "But he can Quit on that,” was suggested. "Where will that leave Hughes and Hoover?" was the reply. "Then the people who are strong for prohibi tion are strong for the world court. The forces fined up with the AntiSaloon I/eagne are the forces fined up with the world*court. The point I make is that he does not have to drag in those Issues. He could better devote himself to other things in which there is greater Interest. Will Cause Trouble "I'm ready to vote for the world court, perhaps when we g- f the reser rations Ixadgn and Brandegee and Borah and McCormick want, but I know it is going to cause us trouble" That is just or.e voice in the Republican camp. But it Is the voice of a great majority. More Important, however, it*was a voice that rasped and expressed irritation over the con victim: that the President was self ifchly Interested in "saving Ohio.’ That conviction cannot make for party accord now or in the future Today the political prophets within the Administration hold ‘he conviction that President Harding cannot be re-elected.

WILL WETS TURN TRICK IN ONTARIO? Bone-Dry Province Holds Election on June 25 to Test Sentiment, PROBLEM IS REAL ONE Canada Government Leaves Question of Prohibition Up to States, By MAURICE HENLE SEA Service Writer WINDSOR. Ont., June 11.—On •Tune 25, the. province of Ontario will hold an election which may resolve itself into a teat of strength between wets and drys. It must not be supposed that in these pre-election days the uppermost topic is liquor. That isn’t true. It is only in the undercurrent of the political river that the subject of booze is felt, by an observer. The prohibition problem of Canada—and it is a real one—is one which politicians dislike to discuss. Under the British North American act, or imperial statute, the right to prohibit the importation and manufacture of booze is vested in the Dominion. Control of the actual sale of whisky, wine, etc., is le.ft to the provinces, which correspond to our States. Is Dry legally But the Dominion, not wishing to j follow the example of the Washington Government, delegated all its powers in the regulation of the liquor | traffic to the several provinces. In | other words, the national government i adopted a "hands off” policy. Thus, having left the matter to the province of Ontario, the latter pro- | reeded to enact laws so dry a man ! can't own. buy, sell or drink intoxi--1 eating liquor. Ontario is bone-dry legally. Illegally it is confronted with .the same curse prohibition brought to this country - , namely, the bootlegger. And now. paradoxically, say those proponents of a law which would allow sale of liquor under governmental supervision in government shops, tiie time has come to make a province which is legally dry. di-y in fact, by passing a law which would permit the sale of liquor! On such n platform Frank W. Wilson. of the Conservative party, is running for the Windsor seat in the Ontario legislation There are three major parties in Ontario—the < nservative. the Ub orals and tho United Farmers. Each professes to be dry. The impression seems to havo been gained In the States that tho

SKILLED STEEL WORKERS DRAW FAT PAY ENVELOPES

Practically Ail Mills Are 'Open Shop' With Agreement on Wages Paid, By W H rOP.TERFIELD. ss/OrNGSTOWN-, Ohio. June 11.— | From , hiliihood most of us have heard stories of P<c fabu--1 l"us watt, - (n:ii it/ I h, hip steel mills. These in, . it must be confessed, i have n large basis of truth While | practically all steel mills are "open st.op and wnile. although the business seems ninthly competitive on the selling’ end. there is a pretty general agreement as to hours and wages paid. Generally trie men are paid either by the hour or the month, on a salary basis, this latter applying onjy to the more highly skilled mechanics, and then In addition many groups receive additional bonuses based on tonnage. Beginning with the minimum of 40 cents an nonr or $4.80 a day for the unskilled laborer, the wage scale ranges upward to the most highly skilled of all "the roller." who frequently makes as high as S2O to $25 a day. Mot of these aristocrats of the steel workers are Americans or of Welch or British extraction. Asa rule they save comparatively little money, but they have a grand time spending It. On the other hand, the “foreigners” save a very large proportion of their earnings, stick it away in old stock ings. etc. In the pipe mills there are many men working tea hours and working liard. too These men have not sought generally for any reduction in hours. They earn big money, around $8 to $lO a day. Housing conditions of central Europeans in America are always depressing, unsightly, ugly. but. generally speaking. T found a great im provement in conditions in this respect from what they are In soft coal towns of West Virginia and Ohio. East Youngstown, which boasts of 12,000 population and only 500 voters, presents the worst appearance, yet even here the Sheet and Tube Com pany has carried out a couple of big housing developments, one of con Crete designed by a Swiss, the fourroom apartments of which are thoroughly sanitary. can be instantly cleansed with a hose, and whi,h rent for from $lB to $27 the montn. The women are fat, shawl-cov-eted, with bare feet encased in slippers. They plant no flowers or vegetables and seenjlngly make no attempt to beautify their home inside or out, but I noticed that the second generation, especially the girls, wear stylish hats, silk stockings, and use rouge and lip sticks. Over on the other side of the valley, the Sheet and Tube Company has, carried out a splendid housing development for which they deserve great praise. Buying a big tract of beautiful, forested, rolling lands, they built artistic, up-to-the-mtnute homes, which they are selling at actual cost on the basis of 10 per cent down and 1 per cent per month.

HUNGARY IS MUTILATED BY TREATIES^ Aid Is Needed as Nation Nears Crisis in Domestic Affairs, DEFICIT IS STAGGERING Population Cut by Fortunes of War From 25,000,000 to 7,100,000, By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS By NEA Service Writer BUDAPEST. June ll.—Unless th great powers come to the assistance of Hungary—as they did in the case of Austria —I can not for the fife of me see how she can escape going on the rocks. Two years ago her deficit amounted to sixteen and a half billion crowns. Today she has- an actual deficit —in the 1922-23 budget—of over forty billion crowns. March 1 the crown was worth 532 to the dollar. April I the crown w r aa worth only 4,600 to the dollar. A recent attempt to borrow some money in London met with failure. London said: "Give us a mortgage on all your transit and warehouse receipts and reform your government to suit and we’ll consider the applica-d tion.” * Crisis Is Near The League of Nations is working this with success in Austria, hut no one power, let alone any one financial group, can thus assume a sort of dictatorship over Hungary—no matter how benevolent the intent, and not even if Hungary sinks out of sightforever for refusing. Like Austria —before the league stepped in—she could not then stop the presses until she had balanced her budget and she could not balance, her budget so long as the printing presses kept grinding out depreciating paper. That is the danger now threatening Hungary. Hungary's plight today is scarcely to her discredit. The wonder is she survived the treaty of Trianon, which fixed her status after the war, six months. She lost, as the result of the war, more than two-third of her area. From an empire of 125,600 square miles—less than the size of the State of Indiana. From a population of 25.000,000 she was shorn of all but 7.100,000. Hungary inday has little to export, hut Is obliged to import much. This creates a stupendous trade balance against her which in turn, knocks the props from under her exchange. Has i*hops. No Goods Most of the factories are in and around Budapest ind th' towns of present day Hungary. The raw materials are outside existing frontiers.So the rate of exchange when the factories go to buy raw materials from what are now f , boosts Hungarian production costs t<H a point where Hungary cannot compete. And mind you. the reparations problem is vet to be faced. Small wonder Hungary is desperate anl ihat the people are rapidly losing confidence in their future. TThat will happen tomorowr? They don't know But they are very much afraid. To my mind it is another job for the League of Nations.
