The Chicago council is investigating an al
leged practice of ice manufacturers in that city who freeze the product about 50 per cent, and
. then retail it for perfect ice, the result being that
it increases their profit about fourfold at the
expense of the consumer. What this practice means in financial returns to the men who are alleged to be responsible is easy to figure. The present summer has been responsible for a tremendous consumption of ice. The product is a prime necessity these days, and if dishonest manufacturers of that city are purposely freezing the artificial product only one-half to enrich their pocketbooks, it is high time that a grand jury investigates the business and indicts the guilty ones. . It is a reprehensible practice to take advantage of a situation to mulct the people out of their hard earned money. The poor mothers in the hot tenement houses of Chicago must have ice to keep milk cool for their babies. If dishonest manufacturers are base enough to make an inferior product in the hot summer months, they ought to be given an opportunity to cool off in a penitentiary.
nominate and elect good men. Their citizens must take an interest in politics. It requires
little effort to be interested in politics. All you
have to do is to go to the polls and mark your ballot Bad government is the result of lack of concern on the part of the voters. If you want to check abuses, correct evils, and supplant waste and poor judgment with efficiency, go to the polls.
How To Start the Day Wrong
Marion Takes Little Interest in the Primary
The primary election at Marion will be held next Tuesday, but the interest in the contest is " the most apathetic in the history of the city, say reports. i i 1 "We do not think that there are five per cent . of the voters of this city who could name the : four Republican candidates who are seeking the mayoralty nomination," says the Chronicle editorially. "We doubt if there is anybody interested in the primary election except the candidates themselves 'who are seeking nomination, and we doubt whether they are very much interested." The lack of interest in Marion may be a little worse than elsewhere because the present administration, it is said, has given. such satisfactory government that the people have almost forgotten that they have a city government. But the fact remains that too few citizens every where take an interest in the selection of-candidates who are to go on the tickets, and permit inefficient and incapable men to be nominated in the : place of experienced men. If cities want good government, they must
Playing With Children No one could have read Sunday's dispatches referring to President Harding's romping with cBildren whom he met when on his outing without wishing that thousands of parents would follow his example. Participation in the activities of children seems to be characteristic of both the president and vice-president. It is said that Vice-President Coolidge enjoys
nothing- so much as a romp with his children, in which all the artificial restraints of social de
corum aire cast to the winds for genuine partici pation in' their games.
If every father and mother would forget all
dignity now and then and, transferring them
selves back to their own childhood, play like
youngsters with their children how much happi
ness would not be engendered in the hearts of
their sons and daughters!
And more important still, what a common footing would not the parent establish with his
children, so that he could teach them the lessons of manhood and womanhood, and become their real counselor and comforter, and the person to whom they could come with all their troubles ! How many future parental heartaches and worries would not be forestalled by the establishment of mutual confidence and relationship?
What boy whose father plays games with him.i
takes him on small excursions into the country! or to some neighboring city, does not learn to love him with a devotion never to be forgotten? What daughter whose mother enters into her games and her affairs as if she were a girl herself, does not willingly and gladly accept her mother as her dearest companion and confidant? If fathers and mothers would rekindle the
fires of parental love on the altars of their homes they would not be compelled to hire trained experts to supervise the recreation and outings of their children. Much of the alleged laxity in the moral conceptions of the youth can be traced to the home itself. Children are not taught what home is. Too many agencies are vainly seeking to perform the functions which formerly were associated with the home only, and so the home has ceased to be the center of the child's interest and affection. If this tendency is not checked soon by the parents themselves, our civilization is going to pay the same penalty which other nations paid that neglected to preserve the sanctity and influence of the home.

Good Evening By ROY K. MOULTON
And thi3 was what the wise guys said was going to be a cold summer. Would it be correct for scientists and alienists to state that basebaV is understood better by men or by women? A woman at a ball game inrealizes that the man
would rather explain the game to her.
than have her be too wise. Are t women liked as much by men as the simple doll variety? Man loves to think himself superior and the intelligent woman is willing to let him have his way. Intuitively the woman knows just how ignorant to be at a ball game. If she is trying to land the man, she just feels her way. If she is married to him, the chances are that she will not be with him. In swimming, the woman does not mind being taught over and over again. It gives the man a feeling of strength and importance to go into the surf with a woman who apparently is afraid of the waves. He may be a nmr swimmer himself: but he likes
to give the impression that he is big and brave. The chances are that if anything happened, a professional lifesaver would have to come out after hnth of them and the man would prob
ably be more frightened than the woman. Many women know this; but m.m'9 9 Roft. wav of getting a
liviror it vnn nick a live one.
A man always wants to show what he knows and a woman knows when tn rn isr.orant.

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN J. STICH
TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", Take'lf, "Up TMOSE WHO NEVER KNOW " . The rent was over-due. The earner's fingers were tired and stiff. Across her lap a sleeping child was stretched. The room was clothed but in the garb of barreness. No pictures hung upon the walls. A cot, a chair, a little table, no rug that was all. A tall, kind maa knocked. He had a basket In his hand. It brought a ray of light to the Mother's wan and sunken face. The child woke up. It took the stranger's hand. Some money was left. The rent was paid. The man went away. When the door was closed the little tot ran to the Mother and said: "Was that God, Mother?" There are those who never know what it is to be rich. Many years ago a ship came into New York harbor as thousands of others had adown the years. But on this ship was a boy who had left everyone he loved and all he held dear, that he might find in "the land of opportunity" an outlet for the dreams that surged his soul. He did not know a word of English. He had not a single friend to go to in the new land. He began by shovelling snow. He washed dishes. He scrubbed floors. He sold newspapers. He went to night school as a result of his meagre earnings by day. He slept where he could. One bitter night he froze his feet. But he made friends. And he was loyal to them, through thick and thin. He never forgot a kindness. He was all the time trying to improve his chances. He kept studying. One day he graduated with high honor from a noted law school. He became the trusted counsel to great men of affairs, with millions behind their enterprises. He sent for his aged mother and father and gave them a home such as they had never dreamed about. They called him "self-made." But there are those who do not know what it is to work. " Spring was on in full. The lilacs waved their fragrance in lavish abandon. Two humans, a young man and a girl, were interchanging happiness upon a bench in a park. A world walked past every minute. But the two couldn't see a one! There, was no traditional moon but four stars sparkled about that bench, one in each eye. But why matter, about details? For a troth was pledged that night. Andyet there are those who never know what love is about!
Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
"COUNT YER BLESSIN'S" "They say I am rich," once bitterly complained James J. Hill, "and they reel off the number of my millions. The fact is, I owe more money than all the men in St. Paul. To make my investments profitable and stop them from fading away, I am obliged eternaUy to struggle, keeping them active." "There," said the philosopher, indicating, "is a man who is worrying
about his hundred thousand dollars." "You are mistaken, was the cheerful reply, "it is all safely invested." "Ah, well," rejoined the philosopher, "then you have other troubles."
We have it on good authority that it wa3 a king who first signed: "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." Most of us who envy others are so close to the grind we grow blind from the dust and sparks. Wre cannot judge sagely because we do not see clearly. Perspective takes the sting out of the other fellow's troubles and travails.
The worker lower down sees nothing hut the corners ana rough edges of his own situation and longs passionately for the seeming smooth and easy sailing of the worker higher up. And when the worker lower down becomes the worker higher up he smiles whimsically as he reflects that every man's worries match his progress. Many a mechanic honestly believes that if he had applied himself along his "natural bent" he would 'have made a brilliant cross-examiner. And many a lawyer feels he could have made a world-famous inventor. There are engineers who are convinced that within them burns the fires of musical or poetical genius. The tragedian always thinks he can succeed in comedy. The comedian spends hours in his garret rehearsing tragedy. Most writers and preachers "know" that the toil and time they have concentrated on their literary or church work in the business world would have made them commercial giants. And maay business men are sufte, very sure, that if they had taken to the pen or to the pulpit, there would be fewer dull' editorials and far less empty pews. So it goes all along the line. Each regrets and retrospects, and envies and becomes reconciled. And all the time each does not have the faintest shadow of appreciation of the difficulties and disilluionments of the coveted walk. For each is enchanted and betrayed by distance, and, like the fancy of the dreaming artist, never sees the land for the landscape. But the older we grow, the wider our experience, the more intimatelv
we know other people's lives the more we are apt to thank our lucky stars that we are what we are. ' If all the world's plaints and grievances were assembled in a heap and we had all to choose between our own and our proportionate share, we would unquestionably grasp our own and gasp in relief. -Every man has his troubles we're all treated pretty much alike streaks of lean and streaks of fat with the lean predominating or the fat predominating, depending on the point of view. So, "when life looks darkest to ye," as Old Cy says, "count yer blessin's, boy, count yer blessin's." y
Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Year Ago Today
When the question of oiling the macadam streets of Richmond was first agitated a protest was made that the oil was not only a nuisance but injurious to the streets and one property owner secured an injunction prohibiting the oiling of the street on which he lived.

FLIES. I sat today, with my Aunt Lillian, and counted passing flies; we counted up to fourteen million, then quit the job with 6ighs. I hoped to find decreasing numbers, I'd swatted flies so much; I'd often missed my meals and
slumbers, to put the flies in Dutch. For years I'd read the health board papers, denouncing flies as crimes; and you beheld my swatting capers, and praised my zeal betimes, I thought the health board 6ports were posted. I held their counsel grand; : and up and down the house I coasted, my 6watstick in my hand. And as I toiled I called on others to help the : grand crusade; I called on babes and doting mothers to kill flies with a spade. I called on ancient aunts and uncles, and said to them, "Oh. chee! Forget your spavins and carbuncles, and kill some flies with me!" I called upon my idle neighbors who sat beneath their vines, to Join me in icy useful labors, or else take in their signs. I bored all people with my clamor, I bored them witk-my cries. ; to take a shotgun or a hammer, and kill a lot of flies. I sat today, with ; my Aunt Lillian, to count the buzzing , bands; we counted up to fourteen million, and then threw up our hands. My swatter on the wall ia pasted,
above the kitchen door; I feel that all my toil was wasted, and I shall swat no more.

(3) Do you not think that such a beautiful park is entitled to better drinking accommodations? (4) If the city is too poor to buy better fountains any store will furnish a cup with an advertisement in the bottom, which would be better than using secondhand paper cups. No one will deny that better ac
commodations should be provided, but the city just now is not financially able to spend the money for the improvement There are many more pressing problems than this one, and besides all this, citizens can buy collapsible cups for a few cents to carry with them.

Parson Blank, anxious to interest a society woman in the poor of his parish, took her to visit one of the tenements. "Well," he asked after she had glanced around, "what do you think of the life of these poor people? Awful, isn't it?" The lady raised her lorgnette and, used to regarding everything as a craze, she replied, "Dreadful! I had no idea. But isn't it rather overdone?" At a production of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." on the screen in a Broadway house, a woman was heard to ask her companion: "Do you know anything.else this Ibaez has written?" "Yes," was the answer, "another horse story, called 'Mare Nostrum.'"

and women enter that relationship more from passionate desire than from the fundamental purpose of making a home worth while. It is to be regretted, therefore, that the citizens of Richmond has fallen for such foolishness as the community service as being developed here today. If the contributors had known just what is being done in our city along this line by the man at the horn of the service, we have no doubt that not a dollar would have been subscribed.

To the Editor of The Palladium: Your excellent and timely editorial with reference to child training is to be highly commended. There is no more important problem than that of the training of children before the American people today. The welfare of the community, ' state and nation, and the perpretnity of our democratic virtitions depend largely on the elementary training of our children. Hence the warning contained in your editorial is timely and to the point. When parents turn their children over to outsiders strangers if you please these parents are taking hazards that some day may be regretful. There is no more sacred institution in our social life than the home, and if, as you say, "The fathers and mothers become expert and accomplished instructors of the children, teaching them fundamental virtues and preparing them to face the templations of life with proper training the nation can face the future serenely." But if the ftahera and mAthrs turn thlr
'children over to hired strangers
ice centers? Or is it to give afat
salary to a stranger expert (?) to teach our children how to string beads and play ball, and incidentally teaming them to disregard the wishes of people who are exposed to the noise and ribaldry of the children trained by those so-called stranger "experts?" If so, then we think you have rendered this community a service by denouncing this "expert' 'training of
any one except the father and mother of the child. H. L. R.

Last fall Mr. Herring became assistant director of the bureau and recently he has been its acting chief. The position of trade commissioner at Berlin Is considered one of the most important of that branch of the American foreign service. It will become still more important as commercial relations get back to normal.
