TWO PERFECT PROGRAMS
The Vfomen's Div1sion of the De-'
‘partment of Justice is pushing a,
movement to encourage the women
of the nation to abstain from luxurie:=
and new clothes in the hope of siaxt»
ing prices back to normal. Some suc—
cess might, be expected 0 ltlle effort
if it were consistently carried
through. But as to théit”\i'i10 knows?
The hard—working. conscientious
housewife has been on the firing line
'Latriing high prices eve-r since there
21:25 been such a thing. Of the society
«*‘parasite we may not expect a great
deal. The greatest possibility for re;
irenchment seems to be with the
large class of young business women
"st-‘9. living at home, pay little or
:nothing for their board, who ~ feel
'themselves under no obligation to
:eave money because of their inten-
tion some time to become married de-
pendents. and who, in pursuit of the
destiny to which they aspire, spend
’fsheir earnings in decking themselves
to attract the masculine eye. The
power of these girls for retrenchment,
"moreover, does not end with the mat-
‘ter of dress. They have encouraged
as standard of spendthriftism among
“the unattached young men whose
fancy they have aroused which not
only adds to the drain on the coun-
'iry’s production. but keeps these
young men in z' financially unmar—
' {Eageable condition. '
But even at its best the policy of
~5pend-nothing has its limitations. The
convention of the American Federa-
tion of Labor at Montreal adopted,
among others. these two items in its
anagram:
Advance in \v:
necessary to malt-[111”.
can standard Of living,
Shorter wmk days. if necessary
to prevent unemplo, HEW-Ii.
“Standard of living." of course. is a
-efm of variable interpretation Some
amilies regard it as the reasonable
~.‘.o:n’forts to be had in the surround-
ings to which they were born. Others
regard it as the maximum of rich
«earns, talking machines and claptrap
they could buy without saving a pen-
2; in that heyday when the margin
between income and living costs was
the greatest. Those who are particu-
filarly conscious of a “standard of llv~
"Eng“ are largely, we believe, of the
‘ laser class.
As to shorter work days to prevent
wherever
the A meri-
3.;
‘mployment—the logical conclu-
{ion of that policy- is the complete
cessation of consumption. Such a
rev-fact program of short hours and
. wncliment should please at once

possible hardship of having

,AIR TRAVEL.‘
Air travel is said to be growing in
Europe. There are air routes already
(established from London to Paris and
from Paris to nearly all the other im-
portant continental cities, and the
”trips are becoming not only safe but
fairly cheap.
Special trips can be arranged to al-
anost any point in Europe'at 30 cents
a mile. Regular schedule trips are,
cheaper than that. Passengers are
allowed to carry 30 pounds of per-!
esonal luggage. The best patronized
route is. naturally that from London to
Paris, which tak‘es less? than three
"hours instead of ten hours or more
by rail and steamer, and which in-
volved no seasickness in crossing the
~8hannel.
Europe is somewhat better adapted
o? the shOrter distances between im-
jlortant points. Nevertheless the same
thing will soon be done here, and
done as usual on a bigger and more
successful scale. The federal govern-
'mlent has already done valuable pion-
eering in its air mail routes. They will
soon cover the country, and passenger
flutes will be the next step. Several
are already planned between eastern
cities, and a. company recently organ-
ized expects soon to have in opera-
tion a fleet of big passenger planes
monnecting Cleveland and Detroit and
’Ebringing those cities within two hours
rsuit alighted. The Chief marched at
nothing ~
for it. But one 'need not yield too,
readily to an interpretation that may I
be false.
Possibly a. man with a clear head
gives smaller tips, or no tips at all,‘
not because he has turned miserly, ;
but because he has become more sen- l
sible. Perhaps it is not meanness. but l
thrif . Drinkers have been notorious- ;
1y generous, but; in the end they have]
been remembered less for their gener- I
I
I
A osity than for their drunkenness.
In this moderation of the tipping
evil there is sanity and selfrespect,
for patrons and for servitors. The
latter do not appear to be really suf-
fering, for because of this very de-
crease in the volume of tips, tlleyl'
have had their wages largely in-‘
creased.

...“...pgon TROLLEY SERVICE.
Residents " Along Newtown Avenue
Say One-Man Car Does Not
Keep to Schedule.
Considerable criticisf is given by
residents along Newtown avenue be-
Icause of the poor trolley service on
"the Newtown avenue line. The one—
man car, while it is a nice little car,
and all that sort of thing, doesn’t
keep good schedule time.
It is supposed to leave the Roose-
velt street switch at 10 and 40 min—
utes after the hour. as it is running
on a half-hour schedule. but it. is any—
where from seven to 10 minutes late
on each trip. This prevents connec-
ltions with other cars and trains. On
lthe trip from Wall street to the
ERooserclt streets with (the end of the
.line), the running time is supposed to
,be 23 minutes and 53 minutes after
the hour. Here about 10 minutes be-
hind is the running time.
It has been suggested that two cars
be run on this line. One leaving the
Sourh Noru‘alk station at, the same
time that. the other leaves the Roose-
velt street switch would work won-
drrs in giving good service.
The inconvenience of a change at
“’3” street to a Stamford car is also
one on which a protest is beingr rais—
ed. The promise of one new Birmy
car a day until efficient service has
