It is to be hoped that the gov ernment's passion for a dissolu tion of the moving picture trust will not have the same effect as in the Standard Oil, Tobacco an,d Beef Trust cases ' HAS CHICAGO DISCOVERED ITSELF? According to General Manager Miller, of the Association of (Commerce, Chicago has discovered itself during Made-in-Chicago week. And then he goes on to say there has been a large increase, in the membership of Chicago business associations and that sales have increased. All of that is very fine. Probably Chicago will be boosted and business will boom. But Chicago has a long ways to go before it really discovery itself. Booming business alone won't make Chicago or any other city great.

Back of them is the story of life, with its wick edness, its greed, its humanity, its sordid selfishness and its innu merjible shams. And Chicago will not haye discovered itself until everybody knows the whole story, and has insisted that the people who do the actual work are paid enough for-it to live decent, wholesome and happy 4
