Illinois, as mall matter of the second claaa, under the act of March 8. 1871. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1921 Irregular Work Conditions While the unemployment conference called l>y President Harding must give its first attention to temporary measures to set idle people to work, it should try to initiate a permanent jnoyement for the relief of the season- al working conditions existing in many industries. With many industries operating only about 200 days in a year, a great deal of poverty is creat- ed that could he prevented if these employments could continue more regularly. _—The lack of work is the greart—men^f ace that darkens the days of the workers. Tt introduces anxiety into millions of homes, it creates unrest, and makes people feel that the pres- ent social system is radically wrong. In the coal, industry, which is usually slack in the spring and early summer, the most obvious means to stabilize this condition, is to offer jcoal at _a marked Treductionl if bought early in the season. That plan lias sometimes been opposed, on the ground that it would be unfair to the people who have no money ahead and who must buy it in a hand, to mouth way. Yet it would so stimulate the spring buying, that it would help the mines to run with greater regularity, and it ought to make coal cost much less for everybody. It would.be an .

They make a fuss about hav- ing teeth filled and similar incident! and they never seem to Have develop- ed any quality of endurance. The fellow who goes on the football field comes to look at hard knocks lightly, and he learns Wt to draw back so shrinkingly from the conflicts of life and the hard things of daily work. Furthermore, the boy who can go through all this melee and keep his temper like a gentleman, has acquired a poise and self-control that should be a wonderful stabiliser in times of stress. Visiting Relative. Millions of people used to spend vacations in visiting relatives. Coun- try folks went to "see" their city cousins, and the city folks camped down on Uncle Reuben. In those days of free and easy times the latch string was always open, and people took care of unexpected guests with- out getting flustered. ■ If people could see a chance to get away, they wrote to their friends that they would be glad to come and visit them. The suggestion was rarely turned down. The visitors helped with the housework, everyone h, time, and family ties were k * In these times people ^J fied unless they entertain in way.

The community ought to do. its ut- most to assist industries to stabilize their operations. Some perhaps could run more regularly if they had better storage facilities, or if they bad larger capital with which to inantifacturt^j'eserve supplies in dull tirhesT ■•■ ~ \~ It is for the interest of -the, com- munity to see that such industries are supplied with all the capital they need with which to keep working regularly. Seasonal operation causes a tremend- ous loss to production, and is one of the greatest drains now existing on the prosperity of the country. 7~ Football And Endurance A squad of football candidates was observed .practicing on a field the other day. They were told by the coach fo^tilow themselves to fairTrom a certain position without making any effort to save themselves. The coach evidently felt they needed a certain course of toughening. Anxious mothers probably lamented over the bruised knees and elbows when they «ot home, and perhaps some boys •would be withdrawn from the squad by cautious parents. Such exercises in rough and tumble have value provided they are directed by compet'ent people. One can imagine that an inexperienced coach might ask'them to do some stunt that could cause serious injury. But if the coach knew his business and really understood how far boys could ! safely go in~sifch^eireTcises, the ex-j perience of rouph and tumble should be a "good thing.
