in a more slashing, radical attack are
listed as discussion leaders.

HEROES UNSUNG
Makers of Daily Bread
by Dr. A. B. Mann
(for the Literary Service Bureau)
We sleep. The “bread man” comes
to the door. We rise and eat. Later,
gain comes this servant and leaves
another supply of “the staff of life”.
\s is usual in such cases, little
‘bought is given to the work of those
whe procure and prepare for us the
food upon which life itself depends.
In the winter these toilers must
give no thoughts to matters of wea
ther or convenience. They must be at
their posts. In summer they endure
the intense heat of ovens. At r.ight
they must work on “while the city
sleeps.” They are faithful servants
and deserving of gratitude and praise.
Time will come ;when these loyal ser
vants will come into their own; then
these and ther such heroes will not
die “unsung”.
Hats off to the bakers—God bless
them!

DOINGS AMONG THE AMATUERS
Last week our sport column was
late, maybe this week also, do to the
speeding up of this paper’s desire to
reach its subscribers earlier. So this
Sunday eve after having just left the
field of battle, home and renovized ;
ourselves; poured several glasses of
cool and refreshing orange juice into
our tummies; sat down to reminiesce
a little over the acts of the true and
tried.
Holmes Off Color
The Holmes were away off color
this Sunday. We do not know whether
it was the heat, overt trained, over
confident or what. - Anyway, things
went away for the boys.
Spratt was off, Gray was out of his
usual manner, Rufus and little Crump
were throwing wild. Error upon top of
error gave the Rex a six run lead
without a hit; all of this coupled with
a seemingly bad decision the Holmes
withdrew from the field.
The Effect
Now, my friends, the scholars say
as a race we never grow up. We are
full of infantile habits. Now that habit
goes something like this: vis., A child
has been used to having his own way '
m everything. In fact he build up an
exaggerated ego unconciously. Since
no one attempts to train his distorted
mind he grows up that way still believ
* that the world Is his, bat it really
is not. Someone attempts to enter his
kingdom, “blewee” and “oh, boy" he
as his way or he quits. That the rea
son “old Solomon” wrote “Train up a
child the way you should and when is
old he is a man." Before 8 or 9 thou
sand the feature game came to an
abrupt end. Maybe the decision was

CHICAGO AND CHICAGOANS
by Clifford C. Mitchell
SO,—THIS IS CHICAGO!
And the World's Fair! But not for
me. I’m in no hurry to see the Fair.
The last Fair cured me. In ’26 I was
in a big hurry to see the Fair at Phil
adelphia. Yes, I saw it—and it took
me nearly seven years to py the debt,
me nearly seven years to pay the debt
in no hurry—at all.
I’ll not attempt to describe Chic
ago’s “hot spots” or its nite life. I
haven’t seen or tasted of it—although
perhaps I could write descriptively of
it just from drawing on past exper
iences for in my day I’ve seen ’em
all from San Francisco’s eld barbary
coast to the resorts on the Prado and
the Melican in gay old Havana and in
all the cities in between these points.
That was in the days of my youth and
I’m no longer young.
But I have seen Chicago—partic
ularly the Black Belt! I seem to have
an engagement with the milk man
every morning. That is he is the first
one I meet on leaving “home” in the
morning. Years of getting up at five
in the morning have left a habit that
is hard to break, so I get up and in
the fresh cool of the morning I see
Chicago.
I And what I see makes me wonder
at the contrasts to be found in the
| Windy City. In block after block,
! house after house, store after store,
are disreputable appearing places—
i empty—windows out—windows board
j ed or tinned up—dirty and run down
| —everything to make a genuine eye
sore. Streets are dirty, pavements
and sidewalks badly in need of re
pairs, and alleys that are filthy. Yet
1 on each comer are scores of poor
wretched hungry looking men with
out work when there is work to be
done all around them. A good pro
moter should harness the idle labor
with the powers that be,—the politic
ians—the real estate owners—and the
capitalists—and if nothing else could
be done, the cheap labor could tear
down these eye.sores, repair the
streets and sidewalks, and give the
alleys a thorough cleaning for once.*
It et, in the papers I see no protests
on these conditions but many pro
tests against the inability of those
with money being unable to spend it
freely as and where they wish. I
In the districts where the empty and
run down buildings are not a positive
eye-sore so many signs are to be seen
in the windows that on first-glance
l thought the signs had been left up
since the “Harding fr President pol
itical campaign. No one needs to wor
ry about finding a place to stay in
Chicago—for nearly every other
house have “Rooms To Let” signs in
the windows.
Strolling around at leisure in the
early morning hours we see here and
there expensive looking cars at the
curb of a home—but the home itself
looks “seedy” beside the costly car.
A good paint job on the home as well
as the car might improve conditions.
In many less expensive cars, early in
the morning ai;e to be seen gents
sleeping it off.
As I stroll around workers com
mence to go to their work. Some look
as though they were ready to give up
the ghost while here and there we
see one who appears happy and gaily
walks along the street sinking aloud
to their heart’s content. Children
come out to play in the street—bony,
hungry and dirty—but happy—poor
kids they don’t know what it’s all a
bout. And they play in the street for
all the available ground is occupied
with tumble-down building that are
empty—and useless. Poor kids!
All of the above I see—and more.
But this IS Chicago. I like it: I love
its people. And I’m hapj>y! Next week
at this time I’ll tell you more about
Chicago—and Chicagoans.

“YOUNGEST MENTALIST ON THE AMERICAN STAGE”
M. R. B.—My boy friend sent me a
letter and said for me to meet him
Sunday night on the same corner we
always meet. When I got there, he
was talking to another girl and they
left me standing there flat. Why does
he do this to me?
Ans: Your boy friend is not respon
sible. This is only one of the few
things this rival of yours is going to
pull over your eyes. If you aren’t
( careful you will lose your boy friend
altogether, for tihs mamma means
business.
F. R. W.—Please help me Dr. Abbe,
please. My daughter has not been
home since she left to go to a dance
the other night. I have tried every
hospital, also the police station. I am
frantic.
Ans: Your daughter is spending a
most enjoyable honeymoon at the
World’s Fair in Chicago. oYu will
hear from her within two or three
days. If you will look in her jewelry
box on her dressing table, you will
find a note she left for you.
C. M. S.—Will this girl friend of
mine do what she told me that she
was going to? I think she is only
teasing.
Ans: oYu bet your life she will. I
predict a shot-gun wedding.
L. M. I.—Kind Sir: Why is it that!
the ladies don’t seem to like my
style ?
Ans: Because you are so fond of it
yourself. I suggest that you write
to me privately and I will go over
your case in detail.

der if you will tell me when to take

Ans: Don’t take this trip with these
people you plan to. Their car will
break down a dozen times between
here and Chicago and you will have
to spend your hard earned money to
keep the old bus moving. Go by train,
it will be cheaper in the long run.
