The housewife who tried boil every

neither i necessary. A half-hour spent
in fussing over the books because she

LAi;OI5 SPECLIAIZATION. .
Savs Sceretary of Labor Davis: "The
lesson of" tlM' past ye:;r seems to be not
so much a problem of an actual dearth of
employment but rather one of inability
of American workmen to adjust them
selves to changing circurustauces. We
recognize that the exalted place of our
craftsmen has been attained through
specialization,. ' but in specializing we
seem to have lost sight of the. fact that
there are other lines of employment than
thre habitually followed. I would be
the last one to suggest that skilled work
men should undertake te beomic so
callcel Jacks of all trades, but I would
urge upon every idle workman that when
there is inactivity in his tftuls he use
every -effort to adapt himself to some
other line ef work. ! Manifestly the
skilled workman can, if he will, do w"trk
of sVme other kind; but my experience
has lecii that too often when idleness is
I 'lecd .upon him he rejects the thought
f ether employment."
That is sound advice, from u man v.lfo
knows industry and knows labor. It is
logically absurd for a workman to- as
sume that when employment stops in
his particular line, there is no more in
the world. Often, there are good jubs
right around him. And if the work of
painters or coal miners "or any other
group" is necessarily 'seasonal, the obvious
remedy for regular periods of idleness is
to develop some "avocation" to bridge the
gr.p. Labor unions might profitably ex
periment along this line. It is, however,
a problem demanding the attemiou of
employers as well as employes.
The occupants of that Rutland auto
mobile which skidded on a concrete high
way, jumped a three-foot culvert, struck
a tree, went through a wire fence into
another tree and stopped right bide up
in a pasture lio feet from the roadway
with no one seriously injured, have good
reason to believe that the age of miracles
is still with us.

The stage is all set for winter carni
vals. Buying at Home.
(Rutland Herald.)
One of the almost threadbare slogans
of boards of trade, chambers of commerce
and boosters' clubs is "trade at home,"
but very few of them have denionstrateni
exactly what trading at home really
means.
As an objectN lesson what such tradin?
means, the editor of the Houston
"(Texas) Post recently attached a sheet
of linen paper to a dollar bill, wrote his
name and address thereon with a request
that all those should do likewise through
whose hands the bill passed.
The result was that 24 merchants in
Houston reported the bill as passing
through their cash in two days.
While this stunt was possibly fctage
managed a trifle, it is nevertheless sig
nificant, and unit for unit of poulation
and business, the same things happen
every week in Rutland when the buying
public spend their money at home feir
such things as they need.
The dollar sent to the mail order house
never comes bae-k. It helps some other
community a trifle, perhaps, but not so
much as it ..would help the town from
which it was sent. It pays no help, buys
no produce, consumes no "juice." sup
ports no families, helps no churches or
schools, contributes nothing to taxes,
trade or education after it leaves your
home town.
Stating it in terms of the Houston ex-!
periment. even if the dollar sent to the
mail order house saved the sender an
other dollar whieh it docs. not the ra
tio of benefit would still !e 12 to one in
favor tf spending the dedlar at home.
Even if some price saving were af
fected by "sending away"' for attractively
advertised goods, the actual benefits are
small, negligible, in fact, when e'ompared
with the advantage the home-spent dol
lar brings with it.
Buying at home pays in the broadest,
most .public-spirited community sense.
i An Effective "Dry" Agency.
(Bane Times.)
The most effective "dry" enforcement
agent is now stationed em the Vermont
Canada line. It's a exmsiderable depth
of snow.
A little girl in southern California
was having her first glimpse of snow.
"Oh, mother,, what is it what is it?"
she shouteel excitedly.
'Why, that is snow, Peggy. What
ever did you think it was?"
"Snow ! Why, it looks like popped i
rain!" Life. v-- - I

studying state government and the ex

and will announce this week, -so it is re
porteel, that the buelget it recommeneis
calls for increased state expenses. And
this so soon after a campaign and elec
tion where the whole "holler" was for re
duction in state expenses and 19.000
votes were given Abe FeHde. who finished
his campaign astride a single plank "no
state tax." A budget committee that
can't do any paring or find a way. to re-,
