establish a government price for labor and a government price for staple commodities, pay double for everything it buys with which to run a great war. scatter hard cash hither and yon with no regard for expense, divert a large part of its food products to foreign lands when they are needed at home and in ilke manner deal with many other things that enter into and make up the general economic situation and expect the cost of living to be low. With all profiteering, even with all profits eliminated, the cost of living would be hish. Cheap money begets extravagance which, added to the increased cost of the things that cheap money mast buy. makes th cost of living sufficiently a problem without intervention of causes with which economic conditions have nothing to do. Prosecution may wipe out some measure, of the profiteering, but it wil not change prices from the levels that are established by economic laws.

WHAT IS THE COURT GOING TO DO?
The temporary restraining order granted by the Federal Court enjoining Standard Steel Car strikers from interfering with men who desire to work in the Hammond plant was violated this morning. If tne city and county authorities are not able to prevent the scenes which transpired there this morning, then the Federal Court should guarantee other protection. If the city authorities cannot keep order they should 11 upon the sheriff. A stern hand is needed at the Standard. There is no defense for foreigners who bloody up men going about their business. Any man who defend this sort of picketing is no friend of labor. If a gang of foreigners and their women can intim"flate and rush people who wish to pass into a factory, "Xs -was done la Hammond this morning, then it is time for this country to shut tp shop. We charge that the federal injunction was deliberately made a shame and a mockery this morning. It was figuratively spat on. iluat there be bloodshed in Hammond?
THE ACTORS' STRIKE. The "walk-out" of the New York actors by which number of theatres were abruptly closed, even after audiences had assembled, is the rather sensational and unique climax to a long climax between th, player folk and the managers of the theatre-. The "strike" is the culmination of an effort on the part of the actors for better working conditions and a more equitable contract, rather than for higher wages, although that perhapa is indirectly-involved-As a sicn of the times in a profession supposed to be demoted wholly to things artistic it reveals how thoroughly ihe theatre has been detached from its original moorings and become a thing of the shop and the bargain counter. The injection of the moral ls?ue into the controversy, the actors refusing to work longer on Sundays, loses even its possible value in the admission that objetcion.to Sunday work is based wholly on the question of wages. The. whole affair is an unfortunate reflection upon the present state of an institution that, has been maimed and mauled into insensibility by greed, stupidity and misapprehension of its true mission. Whichever side in the present controversy may be right and there is doubtless justice on both sides the public in the end will be the sufferer.
TIME FOR ACTION. In the reports of the plans for starting a movement to lower the cost of living we find occasional references to views of "the different schools of thought" on the subject. As an indication of good faith in this movement one of the first acts should be to sidetrack all the "schools of thought" boys who, as usual, are rushing forward to tell "just what should be done." They would thrust in the academic where there is demand for the practical. They would approach this question in the same spirit ia which they would take up the problem of "How old is Ann?" or tackle the squaring of a circle. Their report doubtless would be an elaborate system of figures and percentages for a model world by the end of this century Instead of a program for immediate action to prevent hunger now. What ia wanted now is men who do things. There has been more than enough "thought" and "talk." The cost of living has been under continuous discussion since 1910. Nearly every city has had its 'economic survey." The laws on the books and the bills introduced in congress, coupled with the methods pursued by business men and the statistics gathered by the jovernment, 6how that, it is known just what to do. It, is only a matter of doing it. This is no time for academic discussion. The public has had enough of "survays" and "percentages" in this matter. Now let us get at it in a way to show that this movement means business.
SAVE FORESTS FROM DESTRUCTION. Destruction by fire in the northwestern states of more than one hundred m.llion feet of standing timber was at national calamity. It was a stern reminder that provision must be made for better protection of the forests from fire. To allow euch a waste of natural resources is intolerable, and the nation will repent of its folly in days to come, in exorbitant lumber prices, shortage of mater, and when the other ill effects of destruction of forests manifest themselves. Lumber is already at record high levels and forest experts are telling us that through the ordinary processes of commercial exploitation our timber resources will be exhausted ia a few years. The situation n alarming enough without adding to the seriousness of it by failure to prevent waste. Timber destroyed cannot be replaced for many years and the reforestation movement in this country is still in its infancy. We are destroying our forests much faster than we are planting new ones and renewing old ones. The importance of planting trees for future use is not yet popularly realized in this country. In the case of preventing forest fire?, the old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is particularly applicable, for the cure is a matter of decades. Larger patrols and more modern methods must be introduced in the forest service. Airplanes have been used with success in California in locating incipient fires and in sounding the alarm in time to prevent the spread of the flames. If reports as to the value of the airplane to the forestry service are true, then thit service should have a well equipped air branch. If an augmented forestry service costs more money, it should not be forgotten that it will be more economical to pay for the protection and development of our natural resources now than to neglect them and wake up to fin dourselves stripped of them a few years hence. And unless something more is done, it will not be long until we find ourselves as devoid of timber resources as
some of the old countries, which have to mport their sup plies almost wholly.
THE world wasn't made in a day Bl'T it has bien unmade for many a man IN a single night.

Bl'T who would be the servants of the servants AND the servants of the servants of the servants? NOBODY would mind work IF he could get somebody cNe TO do it for him. A SWEETLY feminine bun h of loveliness NEVER looks more lovely THAN when she clenches her teeth, assumes a JACK DEMTSEY attitude STARTS to contract her biceps if any and TROUDLY invites you to feel the muscle i-he has ACQUIRED by playing tennis. NOTHING makes an editor sicker than to HEAR some slick indi idual who GATHERS in from $55.0on a year up BELLYACHING about his income tax. THE truth is that the was of SOME transgressors are pretty soft and THAT'S probably the reason A LOT of pious folk insist on believ

COOKING AND CLEANSING TIPS. Cleanine Bedsteads Spring cleaning calls for a thorough renovating of everything in the house so the housew.fe who has a dingv white iron bedstead may be glad to know that a simnle mixture of soda and vinegar will satisfactory clean the bed and restore its former whiteness. Mix the soda and vinegar onehalf cur of the former and one cun of the latter and apply with a soft cloth.

The same anrlies to ice cream if a boiled custard forms the basis. Let stand en the ice over night; then add cream c binned solid: freeze. When making srerherts and i'c try adding two tablespoonf u's of whipped cream and the stiffly whiored white of one egg to every quart. The expense is slight and the tarte and appearance are improved. When a boiled frosting is too thin and runs from a cake return the frosting to the fire in a saucepan or an asbestos mat and beat constantly until jt thickens. Tiling of bathrooms or kitchcrs, nlso bathtubs and sinks, may be treated in the ?ame way, and gasoline will be found to be almost i".dirpensable in the cleansing of gas plates and drip pans. The inflammability of gasoline is common knowledge nowadays and one need scarcely add the precaution that it must never, be used in a room where there is an open flame.
