LAUOR DAT—Our National Holiday by enactment of Congress should
call forth a rather keen interest ou the part of most of our people this year.
With one national strike of five months settled, aud another of two
months still going, with millions in wages lost, other millions iu damages
done and still other millions in produce lost «« might well call attention
to labor and its reward or railure.
Its a delightful fallacy which many hold that the aim of life is to see
how well one can live with how little work. The sad thing about it is that
•o few dreamers realize that it is fallacy. How many read the "Man with
'•je Hoe" and accept his philosophy inpreference to Osgood, who says:
"Labor is rest from the sorrow that greet us.
Heat from tiie petty vexations that meet us.
Kest from sin-promptings that ever entreat us,
Kest from world sirens that lure us to ill.
Work-anil pure slumbers shall wait ou thy pillow;
Work-thou shalt ride over Care's coming billow;
Lie not down wearied 'neath VVo's weeping willow;
Work with a stout heart and resolute will!"
and Longfellow sings in similar strain in "The Village Blacksmith" and the
world speaks in no uncertain tone on this great question of labor. The
Socialist's dream of a two hour day is a fantasy, would bo a menace to the
good of mankind if it were remotely possible. The happiest, the heujthi
esl. the richest people in the world f.re the workers. Those, who labor and
tnd in labor a delight and opportunity.
"Cleon hath a million acres—ne'er a one have t;
Cleon dwelleth in a palace— in a cottage. I;
Cleon bath a dozen fortunes—not a penny. I;
But the poorer of the twain is Cleon, and not I."—Mackav.
In the beehive the drones are killed off because they are a menace to
the life of the workers, and in the state and community the drones, the loaf
eis. the nou-»orkers are the perpetual menace, the sowers of the seeds for
most of the evils of mankind.
l'he labor we delight in physics pain" is Shakespeare's way of putting
this truth, "And now comes Dr. John \V. Brannan president of the Board of
Trustees of Bellevue and allies hospitals of New York city, the largest com
bined hospital system in the world, with the discovery of the "Work Cure."
Ir. a recent address he stated that the use of work as a threapeutic agent in
tne hospitals uuder his direction is steadily increasing and that the results
have proved very satisfactory. In many cases he declared where the "Work
Cure" was restored to the patiients were enabled to leave the hospitals after
two thirds the time ordinarily allotted to their cure
We are therefore wise if we cau make this one of the great holidays of
our nation. The industrious nation, the working nation, has ever been and
ever will be the prosperous, the happy and healthy, the most powerful na
tion.
WHY WKHil.KY'S ST.\YS IX THK MOITHS OF AMERICA
William Wrlgley, Jr., the successful chewing gum magnate, talking
with a smoking car audience the other day. was telling the others how
much a year the chicle people invested in advertising.
"But Mr. Wrigley, you've spent millions of dollars and created a
sptend.d demand now; everybody talks about and chews Spearmint. Your
demand is steady and growing. Isn't it a waste to coutiuue spending si
many hundred thousand dollars a year in publicity?" one of his audieuce
asked.
Tl.d Spearmint king thought a moment and then replied:
My friend, if I were to stop advertising, it would be Just like taking
tlie engine off this train. It would slow down and after a little while stop.
Advertising is the locomotive of business, and if you don't have it, business
will come to a stop."
Teach the Child to Dance and When He Is Grown
Up He Will Not Jazz
By MME. ANNA PAVLOWA, Russian Dancer.
"Traiii up the child in the way he should <ro. ami when he is old he
Trill not depart from it." This might be changed to read. ''Teach a child
to darn-e and when he is old he will not jazz.''
1 have attempted to dance the American style of jazz, but only a few
time* As you Americans would say, I could never see anything in it.
I gue~ the reason is that I was reared in a different atmosphere. In Russia
we wt-re taught the classic dancing and music that I interpret on the stage.
The schools in Russia have a courve in dancing that is as important as
reading and writing. Children are taught ballroom dancing from the
start, and as time goes on they embrace the ideals of their instructors;
the (me of beautiful music, perfect poise and graceful carriage.
And there is the awful music, the crash of drums, the moaning of
horn- and the oth'.*r thing* that go to make up jazz music. We can see no
melo-! v or harmony in that music.
' Teach the young people of the country the hallroom dancing. Start
them young. When they are old enough to go to dances they will love the
beautiful and grateful movements and jazz w>'l be distasteful to them.

FRANCE SURI'RIPED AT
PROHIBITION IN V. S.
Paris, Aug.—"The accusations of
American 'wets' that prohibition is
responsible for the Increase of the
drug habit in America is extremely
exaggerated, if not totally unfound
ed." Is the decision of M. Ernest
Guy, former attache of the French
high commission tc America during
the war, who has completed an in
vestigation of prohibition in the
United States in the interest of the
wine exporters of France. "The In
crease of the drug habit is general
over the world, and that includes
the non-prohibition countries. It has
increased in the same proportions in
England and France. It is a part of
a German plan to flood the world
with drugs they •manufacture."
M. Guy, who is frankly interested
In seeking a solution to the stagna
tion of the French Industry and
trying to And a means for opeiing up
the vineyards' former markets,
struck anotner blow at the tradi
tional arguments of the wets when
he declared that his investigation
convinced him that the crime wave
sweeping over Amjrican cities has
no connestion with the liquor ques
tion. The same phenomenon has been
seen in Europe also, he declares, and
is one of the expectable after-effects |
of the war.
Experience of Foreigners.
"The first effect a foreigner ex
periences upon arrh.ng in America is
a feeling of admirai.on for the great
courage of America in attempting
the great social experiment of pro
hibition. But I can'i say I was con
verted to prohibition by what I saw.
To the average American the dif
ference between America today and
pre-prohibition days is probably not
so strikiug as It is to a foreigner, for
the change has been more or less
gradual. But for a foreigner, accus
tomed to the thought of law-abiding
America, to find the average citizen
who is of the stab.e class—that is,
the bulwark of the nation—to find
him, as I say, in the new attitude
of trying to beat the law, to break
the law, is quite disappointing to
our ideals of America.
Prohibition .lustltleil
"The abolition of the saloon, how
ever, if nothing else, alone quite jus
tifies prohibition. If I, who believe in
light wines and beers, wore given the
choice of accepting either total pro-|
hibition or of returning to the old j
system, I would unhesitatingly
choose total prohibition. Uut unfor
tunately that Isn't necessary. The
difficulty Is that a decision must be
made."
M. Guy's report to the wine inter-!
ests draws a picture of the growing
habit of home brewing and the ef
fects of hooch. He quotes a surgeon
of Bellevue Hospital, New York, an
ardent prohibitionist for years, tell
ing how workmen daily die in his
hospital "in convulsions like dogs."
One of the difficulties that he fore
sees is thi\t if light winos are again
reinstated, as he predicts that thes
will be, the definition of "light" i
wines will still bar French products
He declares that French wines av
eraging from 8 to \5 per cent, al
cohol content, and the reinstatement
of 4 per cent, winea will not relieve
the French ever-increasing stocks.
