HATS OFF TO THE WOMEN The last session of the legislature produced, among other things, a law which sought to place industrial home-work under the jurisdiction and supervision of the state labor commission. Provision was made for license fees, regulation, and the like, and some types of industrial homework was absolutely forbidden in the interest of public health. The law was designed primarily to prevent abuses more or less prevalent in the large industrial areas of the state, of businesses "farming out" their work to people in their homes—and paying miserably small wages. But when a semi-official announcement was made some time ago that the labor commission was going to interpret the law so as to make it provide that almost all homework would be placed under its supervision, the legitimate object was made that this was not the intent of ne new statute. Nothing, however, was done to bring the matter to a head, until various women's organizations in the state took up the cudgel against such a widespread application. Local groups of women pointed to a case in our neighboring city of Fullerton. There, a woman, in advanced years, has been engaged for several years in making handkerchiefs and the like in her home. Sometimes, a neighbor would help her. Then, a few weeks ago, a representative called on her and notified her that she must comply with the new law—pay her license fee, obtain her certificate, and submit to state supervision.

Local groups of women pointed to a case in our neighboring city of Fullerton. There, a woman, in advanced years, has been engaged for several years in making handkerchiefs and the like in her home. Sometimes, a neighbor would help her. Then, a few weeks ago, a representative called on her and notified her that she must comply with the new law—pay her license fee, obtain her certificate, and submit to state supervision. Orange county women used this as a cause celebre, in their fight against such a stretched administrative interpretation. The matter was taken up with representatives of the labor commission. This week, again by semi-official announcement, it has been stated that maybe, after all, the law doesn’t apply to those who try to make a living by making things in their own homes, intending to sell them, and make a living thereby. And in that announcement, the work of the women of Orange county and of the state generally stands out. We pay tribute to them. NO PROFITEERING! The nation today is asking, "Will fear and greed again launch the rampant profiteering that America suffered during the World War?" The President has given answer to it with an emphatic "No!" But housewives of the nation, fearing a repetition of World War experiences, believed the other day there would be profiteering. On the outbreak of hostilities in Europe, there came a sudden rush to "hoard supplies" in this country. Retail supplies of some staples became temporarily exhausted, drained off by a sudden buying wave. But there is no need whatsoever for any hoarding of supplies. The Secretary of Agriculture, in announcing the formation of an Agricultural Council to deal with the situation brought about by the war in Europe, has clearly stated, "There are now abundant food supplies in our country. By working together, farmers, businessmen and government can make these supplies available at prices fair to consumers and producers alike." Announcing their adherence to that policy, network food stores and independent enterprises in California have issued a joint statement declaring, "There will be no profiteering in the food retail field!" As the President pointed out, the country has, in general, a generous supply of all essentials. And authoritative economists state it would require many months of large exports to Europe, and of continued crop restriction, before that supply could be seriously diminished. The government need never consider drastic price control if all groups determine to forego unwarranted profits, widespread speculation and similar destructive tactics. Foresight, gained from hindsight of America's wartime experience, endorses a 100 per cent moratorium on profiteering. The stunning sense of disbelief that invaded the mind of the age American when the head screamed war was probably, in long run, the best possible condition. The European "war nerves" had been going on for long that many people in the country were beginning to exclude that it was going to be petual. Then, when the show blowoff finally came, all Americans found themselves suddenly faced with the painful necessity adjusting themselves to a new world of values. And, at the point of view of the world of the United States, which is to be the first consideration for real Americans, it is a good idea to suspend judgments and decisions till a very careful and general inventory is taken. Observers and the general public are agreed on one thing: if we have the well-being of the American system at heart ought to "make haste slowly deciding where we stand and problems we are going to face the course of the next year." As far as the European welfare concerned, no one but a co-gazer would try to hazard anyictions at the present moment.

TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California Throughout the United States, during recent months, there has been a healthy trend toward the elimination of artificial trade barriers which, in times past, have proved a serious stumbling-block to the farmer in getting his crops to market. Governor Olson has cooperated with the chief executives of other states in an endeavor to break down barriers which never should have been erected—and much has been accomplished in checking retaliatory legislation by the various states, in eliminating unfair tax impositions and in generally smoothing the way for orderly trade relationships. But "the war of the states" had reached such a complicated state before action was taken to end it that there are still many obstacles to be overcome and many discriminatory laws and ordinances to be repealed before order can come out of chaos. There are still states and communities which insist on using plant and animal quarantines for embargo purposes—in an attempt to favor local producers and ban out-of-state competition. It might be noted, however, that California bans this short-sighted practice and that the California state department of agriculture has for years carefully avoided any use of quarantines for commercial purposes. High-light the trade barrier problem, Dr. George R. Taylor, of the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics, reports: "In the dairy industry are striking examples of trade barriers against the interstate movement of farm products... Many cities and states limit the area from which cream and milk come by restricting the area to which they will send inspectors, or in which they will grant dairy licenses or permits. "Many states now require the inspection or licensing of all farms shipping fluid milk into the state. Others specifically legislate in a manner such as to virtually prohibit the purchase of cream from outside surplus areas. "In still other instances, fluid milk areas have sought, and in some cases obtained, legislation unfavorable to evaporated or condensed milk." Dr. Taylor points out that sanitary laws and regulations are needed for the protection of the public health, but many laws, he asserts, are so worded or so administered as to exclude or hamper the sale of out-of-state products. Such laws, he declares, are not necessary to protect the public health, often hurt the out-of-state..." ON THE SPOT Hank Soar is Rated as Outstanding Backfield Man of New York Giants By TOM SHEHAN N.N.S. Sports Editor CHICAGO (NNS) — The first time Steve Owen of the World's Championship New York Giants ever heard the name Hank Soar he told Tom Thorp, veteran football and racing official who first told him of the gridiron prowess of the former Providence College athlete, "Never heard of him! . . If he was any good, I would have heard of him." Now Owen all but figures that Soar is the difference between another league championship and an ordinary season, for Soar is starting his third season in the Giants lineup after having had his bow in professional football in the green and gold of the Boston Shamrocks. "That nose operation he had should help Soar," said the usually noncomittal Steve in Chicago recently. "He couldn't breathe through his nose after he played a few minutes, but we didn't discover the reason why he tired so easily until the latter part of last season." Just how important Soar, who is expected to be even more outstanding this year, is to the Giants offense was revealed in a post game conversation by Quarterback Eddie Danowski in commenting on the fact that the Giants just couldn't push over a touchdown against the Chicago All-Stars, although they were in scoring position several times. "We missed old Hank down there on the goal line," said Eddie. "He's a threat both inside and outside of the tackles." Utilizing a shift which throw the strength of the field to the right or the left out shifting the line, the also use a flexing end and on the weak side in order to the defensive line spread They will also unfold a spread formation on N-League teams this year which add considerable to their arsenal. On the defense Captain Hein calls the line together huddle and the minute the motion lines up they shift seven, six and five man lacing to his signal. A great detail, burly Steve Owen starting the season with a conditioned team which can the field goal kicking about Ken Strong and Ward Cuff their running and passing fails to function. Hornets Set for Opening Con The lid of another football will be lifted off Friday when gridiron teams reproach Fullerton and Glendale jungles mix in the first game year in Fullerton stadium o'clock.

Beyond that, the best advice for Americans at the present juncture is not to believe too much not to Washington Snapshots JAMES PRESTON The stunning sense of disbelief invaded the mind of the averAmerican when the headlines named war was probably, in the run, the best possible reaction. The European "war of fires" had been going on for so that many people in this country were beginning to conceive that it was going to be peril. Then, when the shocking woff finally came, all Amerified found themselves suddenly did with the painful necessity of restoring themselves to a whole world of values. And, from point of view of the welfare the United States, which ought be the first consideration of all Americans, it is a good idea suspend judgments and decisions till a very careful and very serious inventory is taken. Observers and the general pubare agreed on one thing, at: if we have the well-being of American system at heart, we int to "make haste slowly" in adding where we stand and what mobles we are going to face in course of the next year or so, far as the European war is permed, no one but a crystal er would try to hazard any previsions at the present moment.

Continues Dr. Taylor: The insistence of cities and sites upon their own regulations inspection often reaches rathaburd limits in areas where duction is normally carried on more than one market. It is sorted that farm sources of farm often are subject to inspection by three, four, or even more state, county and city health dements.

Beyond that, the best advice for Americans at the present juncture is not to believe too much, not to emotionalize too much, and not to lose sight of domestic problems in the excitement of what is happening abroad. That this last suggestion will set the tempo of our national thinking for a long time to come is a hopeful sign seen by observers here in the event that sane counsels prevail. And one does not have to search far to find reasons why the United States should give very close attention at this time to domestic matters. The most convincing reasons, without much doubt, are those advanced by industry. Businessmen who have seen the atmosphere gradually clearing towards a point where plans for industrial expansion and the large-scale production of new jobs and more payrolls can be projected, don't want to see the nation's plans for a constructive future go up in smoke and flame in the forefront of the battle to tend to our domestic knitting and keep foreign wars foreign. Of course wars or even rumors of wars are cues for those who react automatically to shout that businessmen would be glad to have a war and the wartime "prosperity" that is supposed to accompany the appearance of Mars on the scene. This reaction, though, now draws a hearty horselaugh from those who have thought matters through to their logical conclusion. The reasons businessmen don't want another war are hard-headed, realistic ones. The most convincing reason they are opposed to it lies in the simple fact that this country, and manufacturing with it, is still paying for the last war. We are paying for it in heavier taxes and in a higher degree of regulation; we paid for it in the economic dislocation that followed the Armistice, the effects of which are still being felt today. Industry found that what ever profits seemed to accrue from the last war were almost entirely fictitious in expected to be even more outstanding this year, is to the Giants offense was revealed in a post game conversation by Quarterback Eddie Danowski in commenting on the fact that the Giants just couldn't push over a touchdown against the Chicago All-Stars, although they were in scoring position several times. "We missed old Hank down there on the goal line," said Eddie. "He's a threat both inside and outside of the tackles." Weights 212 Pounds Lean and hard after a summer of conditioning while a playground supervisor in Pawtucket, R. I., Soar, who despite his four years of professional football experience, is only 23 years of age, now weighs 212 pounds and retains his speed of foot while having added considerable in the way of power. One of the best pass receivers as well as being a ball carrier, Soar will be used in the Giants starting backfield for the second year. He will be paired with Danowski, whose record for passing accuracy has been unmatched in the National League; Ward Cuff, and Leand Shaffer. is all-embracing. It takes a withering toll of human and economic forces. No sensible person believes that profit can come out of the wreckage of human lives and economic dislocations. "History has answered the question. Progress comes through peace, not war. Free nations have everything to lose in war. Free institutions are reared through peace and cooperation. Conflict destroys them. "American industry wants peace. This purpose has been frequently and forcefully declared in the previous platforms adopted by the Congress of American Industry. American manufacturers pledge every effort to maintain peace. "Happy homes and steady jobs, the ideal of every American, can be achieved only through the pursuits of peace. "The republic is now at peace. May the God of Nations preserve us from the calamity of war." Certainly no one can deny that industry's attitude is written plainly in the record!

In some parts of the country, farmers or receiving plant operators have found that conform with requirements of the authority, they must violate use of another. Health regulations, so far as they are directed at purely health objectives, need place no restraint on interstate or local commerce. On the other hand, if board of health regulations are to be used protecting local dairy interests from outside competition, then instate trade may be restricted. A major step forward would be when, if states and municipalities would recognize and clearly state their purpose of their regulation." This report of conditions in the dairy industry is typical of the obstacles that still remain in many larger branches of agriculture. Not only are plant and animal quarries improperly used to restrict the movement of trade between states, but motor vehicle taxes are imposed on out-of-state vehicles in many areas which face unfair burdens on the farm. It is to be hoped that the present movement to break down necessary trade barriers will continue. WE HAVE MOVED S. T. HAMMOND CO.

M. Selekman, economist. “Work is the true elixir of life. The busiest man is the happiest man. Excellence in any art or profession is attained only by hard and persistent work. Never believe that you are perfect. When a man imagines, even after years of striving, that he has attained perfection, his decline begins.”—Sir Theodore Martin, 92 years ‘young.’ “American industry has been too modest about its contributions to social welfare. We have pointed with pride to our skyscrapers, our high standard of living and the size of our businesses. We have failed to point with pride to the management of the great economy behind these achievements—to explain how they got that way.”—Don Francisco, advertising executive. “Men's thinking must always be ahead of their manufacturing, but the two must operate together harmoniously. It is one of the tasks of management to integrate the two for profitable results.”—H. A. Hopf, management expert. “Invention is distinctly personal in character. All of the great inventions are closely connected with the work of some individual. The race always makes progress through the individual and not through the mass.”—Dexter S.
