|Today How to Build Happiness. Let Ford Do It. Important to Publishers. _ Is Spanking ISecessary? ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ A young lady named Jane goes off with a youth named Charles from Mountain Lakes, N. J., to live , in the forest, depending on bare hands for food and everything else. Presumably they got married be fore they started. But anyhow they made a mistake. After 10 clays in the forest they will hate the forest, the insects and each other. A better plan for a young couple is to start as they do in Fort Worth, Tex. There you see one building lot after another, with nothing built but a little garage in the back. The young couple live in the garage, work, save and enjoy planning to gether. By the time the first baby arrives, the house is ready with hot and cold water, perhaps not fully furnished. By the time the second one comes, the furniture is all in, and the house half paid for. When the third ar rives, mother, father and the three children go out in their own little automobile. That’s the way to build up mar ried life, to avoid boredom, to be sure that when you are old your wife will seem the most important thing in the world to you, and you the most important thing to her. And that’s the only thing worth while. The senate committee throws out Ford’s Muscle Shoals plan, and some senators take occasion in the proc ^ ess to abuse Henry Ford, who will always be ranked among the great est of all Americans and very likely as the most useful of Americans. Whoever thinks that Henry Ford wanted Muscle Shoals for personal profit is foolish. By adding $26 to the price of his cars, which no sen ate can prevent, he could tomorrow add $25,000,000 a year to his, net income. More money is not Ford’s object. Ford wanted to be useful to the farmers, and to show what could be done by waterpower, intelligently managed, apart from graft. President Coolidge should let Ford run Muscle Shoals for the .people, the country supplying the money, Ford the brains and intelli gence. That would make a great public ownership combination. Figures published by the Chicago Evening American and Chicago Daily News, and admitted by both to be accurate, give information important to publishers. The Chi cago American leads the Daily News in circulation by about 70,000 copies daily, and sells at 3 cents daily and 6 cents on Saturday, whereas the Daily News sells at 2 cents every day. This shows that for quality the public is willing to share with the merchant and other advertisers the enormous cost of getting out a newspaper. The Chi cago American has led the Chicago News in circulation continually since 1921 in spite of the great dif jrv fcrence in price, and the gain of the American over the News in creases month by month. Congratulations are due from all newspaper men to the Chicago American trio: Curley, editor; Black, the publisher; Meigs, the diminutive business manager. Of these three working together in harmony, each eager to help the other two, one is-a Protestant, one a Catholic, one a Jew. And that is a lesson to those afflicted with stu pid rare or religious prejudice. A moralist editor of the Milwau kee Sentinel discussing the two young Chicago murderers, says: “If they had been soundly spanked every day or so in their adolescence things might, have been different.” They might, and they might have been worse, *if that were possible. That innate depravity or evil influ ences might result in dreadful mur der is no reason why fathers and mothers should earn the hatred of their children by brutal abuse of them. Abraham Lincoln was not spanked every day or so in his adolescence, neither was Edison or Henry Ford. But all three of them turned out well and never murdered anybody. It is what's developed In the brain, not hrutal chastisement applied to the body, that decides a boy’s ca w reer’ ‘ _ Civilization has passed various milestones, one “slavery,” one “re ligious persecution,” one the “tor ture of witnesses.” This nation may pass another labeled “child labor'' and throw off one more dis grace. The senate has passed the 20th constitutional amendment to give congress power to control child labor. The amendment now goes to the states, of which three-fourths must adopt it. This is a victory for woman’s cluhs, the labor organiza tions and general decency. Medill McCormick of Illinois made an ex cellent argument in support of the amendment. The French socialists, now in plots in which French officials gam bled in exchange and made $200, 000,000 of private profit. Those French socialists, very young in government, should learn from this old established republic. We investigate carefully, and also jail any criminal in the $10 class. But when the scene shifts to the $100,000,000 class, it is customary power, will investigate the J. Pier pont Morgan loan of $100,000,000 made to keep up the price of francs. They promise to expose gigantic for proud democracy to take off its hat and say “Excuse me.” Canadians, who also had a gen tlemen's agreement with Japan limiting Japanese immigration to 150 valets and other servants per year, now propose to pass an ex clusion bill along the lines of the American act. A plain, firm arrangement is bet ter than any gentlemen’s agreement It. is said that Mexico will now hr flooded with Japanese. That threat may safely be left to the Mexican government iCup) JitUt. 19.4 ) i Traffic Signals Recommended bv j Safety Committee j Permanent Installation of Bell and Light System Urged by C. of C. After 90-Day Test. The safety traffic signal* which have been on trial at four of Omaha's busiest rorners for the past three months scored a triumph Tuesday when the traffic safety committee of the Chamber of Commerce recommend ed that such signals be installed per manently. This recommendation was made to the executive committee of the Cham ber Wednesday noon by Victor B. Smith, chairman of the traffic com mittee, and the executive committee promptly acted In favor of the signals. "While at hist motorists did not always heed the signals, we have found during the last few weeks of the trial that more than SO per cent of the drivers pay strict attention to the stop and go signals," says Mr. Smith. "We made no specific recom mendations as to the type of signal to be Installed. The cost of installing them is a matter that is difficult to determine just now, but we find that the salary of one traffic officer for a year will pay for the Installation of three signals." Wherever Traffic Officers Necessary. The traffic safety committee recom mended that the signals be installed wherever traffic officers are neces sary, and at other intersections where traffic makes them needed. It was pointed out by members of the com mittee that two officers on Farnam street intersections could be dispensed with If the signal lights were in stalled from Thirteenth to Twentieth streets. Five traffic officers are now on duty on Farnam street intersec tions. passage or an ordinance providing for a penalty to be affixed for failure to observe the traffic slgnale was reco'mmended by the traffic • safety committee. The traffic signals were originally installed at the behest of this committee, which appeared be fore the city council and asked that the signals be given a trial. Five Types I'sed For Ninety Day*. The signals were installed by Sam Houser of the Yellow Cab company, free of charge to the city. Five types have been used since the instsna tion, approximately 90 day* ago. The latest type la equipped with a bell, which rings ** the signs! changes. The bells combine with the yellow light in warning the motorist that the signal Is to change. ]t is considered probable by mem bers of the Chamber committee that an appropriation for permanent sig nals will he made when the next city budget Is formulated. Police Com missioner Dunn, whose department will supervise the Installation of the signals, Is reported to favor their In stallation. In the meantime it Is an ticipated that the temporary signals will be remo\yd. Dummy Policeman New Intention. Otto Baysdorfer of Omaha, who has gained note by Inventing nowsl me chanical things, hga now completed a new type of signal In the form of a dummy policeman, to be hung at each Intersection, and plans to make an effort to sell his ingenious device to Commissioner Dunn for all Omaha intersections. This dummy policeman extends his arms automatically and turns evety so often, thus regulating traffic much as: live traffic officers do It, according to Clarke Powell, commissioner of the Chamber. • World Headed for Hades.
