LABOR. AND LABOR DAY. ,
The columns that will march the city streets
today throughout America arc eloquent remind
ers of the substantial basis, of all wealth. No
matter how rich the land may be in natuial
s resources, how abundantly it is blessed with cli
mate and other essentials for happy existence,
Its riches unfold only, not before the touch of
a,, magic wand or in. response to a cabalistic
formula, but because honest labflr is effectively
applied. .i
Industry alone begcf.Orue greatness. Those
who are born great often forfeit the privileges
pf-thcir birth; those who have greatness thrust
iipon them'generally prove unworthybut those
who achieve greatness, by dint of persevefmg
and, intelligent effort, not only bcuefithemselves
but all the race because of what they accomplish

continue to indulge in the ex
travagance l an annual fire lots that far ex
eeeds the recorded experience' of any other na
tion. Last year the item of fire loss' in the
United States -went up to $325,000,000, the great
est year's . loss on record, except that of 1906,
f wnen the -terrible conflagration at San Fran
cisco boosted the figure to a sky-high totz. But
the 1919 aggregate is sufficient; it equals $3.13
for every man, woman and child in the country.
, , Toscall such a loss appalliW does not mean
anything; to say it is utterly defertseles3 means
even less than nothing. Year after year Amer
icans have been warned of tfje result of their
car'essness, and year atter year tney go aicao,
watching; millions go up iu smoke. We thought
our war bill a terrible thing, and it was, but it
has little on the peace charge'due to wanton
neglect of ordinary. precautions. v
In 1919 the loss from fire in England was
but 61 cents per capita, compared-to" our $J.13;
theOatcst available figures for other European
countries are: Germany, 25 cents; Austria, 37
cents; France, 55 cents. No other country in
the world approaches America. j
Rich as.weyare, we can not afford this drain.
Only a few fires not chargeable to incendiarism
result from any but preventable causes. What
is needed tov jolt the American people out of
their casual attitude towards this disgraceful
fact, and bring them to be5 more careful in the
matter of handling fire?

1 An Editorial Letter.
Columbus.-O., Aug. 30. To the Editor of
The Bee: George Washington in his "Farewell
Address," delivered ScjpteibetN 17, 179$, after
cautioning against jealousy, hatred, sectiotialism,
etc., expressed himself concerning foreign rela
tions asfollows: ' 1 a
Europe has-aset of primary interests
: .i which to us have none or a ery remote rela
' f Xon. Hence'she musf be engaged in frequent
controverfes.- the causes of which are es-
sentially foreign to our concerns. Hencje,
therefore, it must he unwise in us to implicate
ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary
vicissitudes of her friendships or enmities. . - .j
Why, by interweaving our desjiny with
. that of Euope, entangle our peace an pros
' "perity in the foils of -European ambition,
' rivalship, interest, humor or caprice? "
It is our true policy.to steer clear Oif per
manent, alliances with any portioi of the for-
; Sign world. Taking care always to keep eur-
selves by suitable "establishments on a re
X spectable defensive posture, ve may safely
t trust tf temporary aljiances for extraordinary
emergencies. ., '

-oviet minister that whereas the bolsheviki had
in every ,way sjiown the capacity of ybolshevilm
1 :to make a rich man poor, it had not been able
j "to make a poor man rich.J In this, its greatest
failure,-if has been most disappointing to its

" wealth were seized, it would ;b possible for
them to live in luxury and even idleness, as liad
the nobility and "booJiwah" under the czar.

An Omaha lad wanted to go to the circus.
.Unfortunately for him, his father and mother
are divorced, and the father is permitted under
a ourt order to see'the boy only on Sunday.
The circus came on Tuesday, and thel mother
oljected to the father having the son on that
day. Here is where the court comes in.
A judge, old in yeirs and of long experience
oh the bench, heard an application for an order
' A . i r . i i : . i. .

living.-knows as much about animals as dad; no
one will be more generous in the matter or pro
viding lemonade, , pop-corn, peanuts andother
things that belong- with such adventure, and
surely no one could be. more solcitous than dad
for, the safety andcomfort of the boy on thjit
day.- v ( ,
And this! judge, whose years have been spent
in the'dn and mustv tomes of written law. or
thJVhigh ether of pure reason, who has fed on
the quiddities and quibbles, ihe hair-splitting and

boy. No doubt the weight of at least three

the matter was unfolded to him; he could recall
his' "own boyhood, when for many days prior
to tlieadvenfof the Caravan he had joined with
his fellow.s in singing:' "We are going to Van
Ambdrg's showl" ' - N- . "
However that may , be thijijiidge, with a sa
pience asnoteworthy as any Solomon ever ex
hibited, ruled that a circus is jusas essentially
necessary for the proper bringing up of a boy
as his tlothing or his daily provender, and that
no fitter companion for him could be found than
his father. So the boy went to the circus with
his dad, because a Judge may Je old and wise

-. Voting women will increase majorities; The
results, of all jiationarJelections, with very few

created, and the reckless blundering of Governor
Cox, which has discredited him in his own par

reflected wherever voters discuss public ques

PREVENTING BLINDNESS, i
A fairly large percentage of th
blind are ' tso because of opthalmia
heonatoriuni, or infection of the eye
of the new born babe. There as a
true- congenital blindness, but it is
rare. Most of the cases of "born,
oiir.a or congenital Blindness arc
cases of blindness duo to infection
the time of birth or within 10 days
inerf arter. .. ,,
Of all the infections of the new
born, infections of the eyes are the
mefst frequent and. t lie most serious.
In most states thejlaw requires that
a few drops of a hi tion of nitrate
of silver shall b dropped in the
eyes. Many health. departments fur
nish the solution readyioue. .
The instructions are to. wash the
eyes with a solution of boric acid,
using a pfc-ce of clean cotton. Next
two or three drops of, the silver so
lution are dropped' in each eye. Some
prefer to wash out the excess of sil
ver solution with a little salt solu
tion, but the tears are rabout as ef
fective a salteolution as oie would
wish. . '
The reason this plan .does not give
perfect protection is because so
many parents are indifferent. How
ever, the responsibility for the -Indifference
is often shared with the
midwife, nurse or doctor. Here is
some testimony on this point from
the Visiting Nurses' association of
Chicago: -
An eye of a 7-day old baby went
bad. On the eighth day it was
swollen and closed. By the ninth
day of life it looked as if both eyes
would be- lost as the result of pneu
mococcus infection. .Special, nurses,
the constant care by the parents and
good medicaK service finally con
quered the trouble and saved the
sight,
In another case the mother had
gonorrheal flTthritis. AVhen the baby
developed 'sore eyes the father tried
to take care of the case during the
night. The baby became blind.
In another case the doctor saw
the mother and new baby every fifth
day. The baby got sore eyes, but
the mother did not let the doctor
hv.ow because he- sister's children
always had sore eyes and it did not
seem to-do much harm. When the
docto'r called on the fifth day, pus
was rolling ont of both feyes. Vigor
ous treatment saved the sight.
A. visiting nurse stumbled on a
wellHo-do case, where a -'.practical
nurso was caring for a "new born
baby to a hospital. They got the
baby tp a hosupltal in an WUtomobile
and y hard work saved' the sight.
In another case the eyes'developed
infection on the fourth day. Treat
ment was'instituted. vThe mother sat
up all ntght looking after the eyes,
while the grandmother, 'helped by a
nurse, took care of things in the
day. The sight was savr.
Many of the cases seen by the
nurses have had nothing done for
the eyes except that the mother has
washed them out with breast milk.
Not only is washing with breast milk
improper from the medical stand
point, but the law specifically states'
what is proper. The law is based
upon millions of experiences Blind-

REPLY.
Most hernias are comfortably ak
en care of by trusses. Wearing a
truss is all that 'is required in most
cases. A few cases can be cured by
exercises to develop the abdominal

Some babies are poisoned by good
quality cow's milk that would be
wholesome for most babies.,- Keep
your baby at the breast.. At his age
he nerts foods other than milk.
Give him toast, hard crackers, cere

finely mashed vegetables. He can
gnaw on meat bones. vWhen you
try tp give him"e8w's milk again
try him with milk powder. It is
possible the may be able to take
that, although whole? milk disagrees
with him. If milk proves to be be
yond him, when he gets a little old

less poodle dog when the Waldmere
apartnients caught fire, there was no
question, of h bravery.
But, let Martha weave-sonic fanci
ful picture in her' mind with Bob
in th(j very center of It and along
would coipe Bob with his practical
notions and matter-of-fact ways, and
smash it into 1,000,000 atoms. ,
Neighbors Since Childhood.
The Sibleys and the Dudleys lived
out on- the North Shore 'and had
been neighbors since Bob and Mar
tha were children. They had grown
Hp together and there was between
them a rare comradeship, a rare com
munity of interest untikMartha be
gan to spell Romance with a cap
ital "R."
Bob Dudljy had always known,
even since the pinafore days, that he
loved Martha; he knew that no one
else in the world would ever be able
to understand him as she did; that
there was no other woman on earth'
with whom he could sit for an hour
at a time in absolute silence and both
of them feel comfortable.
Despite the fact that lie was the
heir apparent to $1,000,000, Bob Dud-1

should be a producer, and took the
position that no man was entitled to
take unto himself a wife until he had
proven to .himself and to the world
in general that he was 'capable of
supporting her in the face of any
exigency. And, by starting in as a
day laborer at a strange faprory and
working- himself up to the place of
general manager at a salary suf
ficient to support even a fairly expen
sive wife, he convinced himself that
he had a right to ask .Martha to
marry hini.
Becomes General Manager.
On.t the day that Bob received for
mal notice that he could move his
six feet of healthy and efficient man
hood into the private office marked
'General Manager," he jumped into
his roadster and forthwith caused
a number of traffic policemen to
blink unbelievingly as a flash of
color his roadster was blue slashed
their vision. He used Sheridan road
for a speedway and made the Sibley
mansion m no time. '
Martha Jay in the hammock when
he came up the path and sat down
on. the steps fanning himself with
it.. It was broad day
light, with the thermometer stand
ing 396 and. Mrs. Sibley sat at the
other end of the porch, quite out
of earshot, but within plain view.
If1 Bob had possessed an ounce of
romance, he would have waited un
til the (moon was doing its romantic
lluty until the heat had somewhat
iutysidejl .and until Mamma Sibley
was indoors.
But Bob, most decidedly, was not
romantic. - 1
"Martha," he said "they made me

" Commonplaces-Proposal.
His voice didn't vibrate a'-single
vibration. Martha sat up in open
mouhhed horror. She had been pro
posed to ""many times before, but
never had anything been so hor
ribly commonplace as this.
"Bob Dudleyi" she shrieked. Are
you crazy?"
'"No," he -said contentedly. "I
thought ft would -be a rather sane
and sensible thing to do."
."Ohr moaned Martha.. "Oh!"
Bob realized vaguely that he had
put his foot in it; he didn't know
just what it was but he knew that,
somehow, he had made a horrible
mess of things. -
"Why, what's the matter. Mar
tha?" he Risked penitently. "I I "
His confusion made Martha ab
solute mistress of, the situation.
"Would you be kind enough to
tell me, Mr. Dudley, what givesiyou
the notion that you want to marry
me?" she demanded.
"Well," he stammered. "I I reck
on it's well, it's because you are
io restful.
"Restful?" repeated Martha with 1
biting sarcasm; she wanted 6
scream. "Well, is thataU?"
. Bob Dudley who had' proven that
he could handle a thousand men and
any sort of a difficult situation in
the factory, was in complete rout.
"Oh, we're we're just just pals,"
he added lamely. - ;
' Intended Something Else.
, He ' said .that just that when
what he. wanted to say was that she
was the sweetest and the fairest
flower in the garden of the world;
that in her presence his soul found
peace and happiness because God
had made her just for him; that she'
was the One Woman whom he could
face from across Uie breakfest table
'three hundred and sixty-five days
in the year for as many years as a
merciful 1'royidence would permit
him to live, and never, grow fired of
her. These things welled up 111 his
breast but could not find utter-s
ance.
"Ohr hurfdere(k Martha. "Oh!"
And she set her dainty heels firmly
on the floor, flung hurt j gesture
of despair and fled into the house.
Mamma Sibley.-watching from the
other end Of vthe, porch, pursed her
lips thoughtfully. She had been
young herself onee and had not for
gotten it. ' . -
"Bob," she "called gently. "Boh,
you silly boy, come here and talk
to me." ,
Mamma Sibley liked Bob. ( '
That evening Martha got a note
from Bob, written in haste and en
tirely devoid of sentiment. It mere
ly said:
"Going away on business. Con

Goes to New York.
Bob went to New York to install
some of his efficiency methods in
the big eastern plant of the company

that time Martha naa two 'picture

without seeing him and she missed

sight of himvsprawled out on the
porch chair, pipe in his mouth, as he
stared up in silence at her with that
steady, worshiping gaze. Everything
was all wrone she was dreadfully
unhappy about- something but did
not know what it was. '
It was the middle of October xwhen
Bob returned. It was jdst dusk v
when he found her 011 the porch.
Mamma Sibley had suddenly disap
peared indoors. - t :
"Congratulate me, Martha," he "
said. . "I'm going to be married in
November." ' -vMartha
gasped and her body stif
fened; it seemed that the whole
world went tumbling about her ears.
"I I hop you will be happy,"
she whispered.
"I will be, Martha, for she's the
most beautiful and'the most wonder
ful girl in the world."
She stared at him. Was this matter-of-fact
Bob Dudley speaking?
"Here," he went on eagerly,
"Here's her picture."
He had opened the back of his -watch.
Martha's eyes were so misty
that shfc could not make out the fea
tures. .
"Yes." she said mechanically, she
is she is rather pretty isn't she?".
' Kissed Picture for Years.
Then suddenly her vision cleared
and the color leaped into her cheeks. .
It was the picture of a little girl in
pigtails."
"Bob Dudley!" she cried. "Where
wher"e did you get that that awful
picture?"
"Why, Martha," he said. "I've car
ried that picture in my watch ever -since
I had a watch and that's been

"Oh. mv dear!" whispered Martha
when she could get her breath
"and I thought you weren't a bit ro
mantic."
Inside the window mamma MDiey
smiled. '
He repeated his lesson well, she
nottded. "I had to ransack three
trunks for that picture, but, well, a

much trouble.
