LOCKER-ROOM MORALS
There is no one in college who would go out and hold up the first
person he meets. There is no one who would break into a house to
burglarize, But there seem to be many whose consciences permit
apparent 'snitching," Rubbers, umbrellas, coals and lunches disappear
jrom time to time. We hear it said that it is unsafe to have things
lying around.
At this college wc arc supposed to be educated men and women of
some calibre. Shall wc not make an effort to realize that petty thefts
arc as soul-destroying as robberies of millions? It is a truism that little
thieveries lead to big ones. The truth lies in the fact that our petty
vices create a toleration of weak and flabby character. There is no
place in the life of an educated person for moral compromise for that
leads to decay. Let us give the complaints serious and reformations
attention,
YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU!
Did you ever stop to think of the endless number of human beings
upon whom you depend every day for everything that you need? Take
for instance the bare necessities of life. Just think how many people
arc involved in the producing of one article of clothing you wear!
Suppose it is made of cotton cloth. There arc the cotton planters, the
pickers, those who clean and sort it, the shippers, those who help in
the transportation, the factory hands, the dyers, the shop workers and
perhaps delivery boys or messengers. Have you any duty toward these
parts of the human machine, which is working for you? Most assuredly!
Taking the matter up from a purely practical standpoint, you must
admit that upon the welfare of the producer depends the welfare of the
consumer,
The condition of industrial workers is very important in peace times
and very, very important in war times. Upon the health of a worker
depends his own efficiency and often the health and efficiency of others.
You or some one dear to you may be among those affected. You have
doubtless heard instances where clothing was made in large quantities
in homes where tuberculosis or other dread diseases were present.
\ye will give here just one typical case to show the need of especial
vigilance in these-war times. It was heard last summer that soldiers'
uniforms were being made under improper conditions. An investigation
vvas made. One of the many reports turned in on the tenement conditions was: ' A diphtheria sign on the outside and uniforms marked
U. S. Government on the inside."
This particular case has now been remedied, but there are still others
just as bad. Here is where your help is needed!
When England went to war she made some great mistakes in ceasing
to carry out the safe and sane labor laws she had established in time
of peace. It is contrary to all the laws of common sense that we should
follow in these mistaken footsteps.
"Industrial history proves that reasonable hours, fair working conditions and a proper wage scale are essential to high production. During
the war every attempt should be made to conserve in every possible
way all of our achievements in the way of social betterment,"
And yet the New York Legislature seems to be blind to all these
facts. Last year the Brown Bill was passed, by which our labor laws
could have been rendered useless. However, Governor Whitman vetoed
the bill because of the vigorous protests of many earnest citizens of the
State, This bill has been introduced again. You can help to keep it
from becoming a law!
Look up the Brown Bill! Find out all you can about it and then get
to work. Interest all your friends, Get them to send letters, telegrams,
messages of any kind, to their Representative. Every single one of these
messages will have its influence, Interest the organization to which you
or your friends belong and get them to use their influence as a whole.
By so doing you will render a very great service to both your State and
country. Isn't that worth a little labor on your part?
Probably many readers of the "News" will be interested to know that
a new and important dogma has been set forth in the school of medicine,,
and that this new dogma is the product of our own Alma Mater, One
of our alumnij now a student of medicine, has discovered a sure remedy
for indigestioni People should stand when eating, To stand for all three
meals of the day is the ideal of. preventative cure. Our world of busy,
overworked men, habitually careless about health, could hardly be
expected to live up to such an ideal. In view of this fact, a group of
medical men have decided that, if a man stands while ho cats one of his
three daily meals, he is reasonably safe from indigestion, flow easy it
is for State College students to protect themselves from the ravages of
this disease, since there arc few places where they can sit down to cat
lunch anyway. Let every student resolve to keep away from the empty
benches in the lower ball of the Science Building, and to walk slowly
up and clown the corridor while eating lunch. Some people'already
follow this line of procedure, but most of our students are always
grumbling about no place to sit down to cat lunch, not even seats in the
lo.wer hail. Dr. Quak, visiting physician at the new Flcxner School, has
discovered that grumbling itself invariably produces indigestion. Let's
stand when wc cat our lunches and be good iiaturcd about it,

further English study outside of

Dear Miss
, Sama:
I received your letter with m a n y
t h a n k s a n d j o y or gladness, D o w
h a p p y you are I It. is happy to live
with family, after long absence. It
is na.tural that your nieces j o y , t o .
you, Reading your letter on which
b a p p y n e s s of h o m e is r e p r e s e n t e d ,
I have g o t to 11 homesick. I could
n o t read it w i t h o u t recalling m y
little b r o t h e r s ,
f am s t u d y i n g engineering. D e sign is i n t e r t i n g to m c but it is
v e r y painful. Dynamics, engin and
c h e m i s t r y a r e i n t e r e s t i n g too. ,
It is curious to see Chinese
w o m e n . T h e y have v e r y liny feet
in the s h a p e of A, about 5"-6" in
l e n g t h . T h e y have rings on their
c a r s , which used to h u n g beautiful
balls. T h e y married at 12 or 13 or
14 or 15 y e a r s old, m o s t of t h e m
so.
So that they have no pleasure
l i m e as a girl, T h e y seems to be
t r e a t e d like an animal. I think one
of the m o s t miserable in the world
is a Chinese w o m a n .
T h e lower classes of chincse is
very miserable one. T h e y live with
p i g s in a dirty m u d - h u t , and that.
It: is b e t t e r kind of l a b o u r e r w h o
have a h o u s e to live, M o s t of the
kurii, cbiuesc labourer, have no
h u t to live. , O n e night f went to
Ishi S a n . t o see the m o o n . But I
bad g o n e to there only once to see
old b a t t e r y , so that on the way
h o m e I lost my home way. f
t r a y e d d r o w n to a river-side, w h e r e
T saw a some black body in my
way. A t first I. t h o u g h t it w a s a
s t o n e , but to my surprise \ found
it a m a n . 1 went on, and f found
m a n y man here and there. T h e y
all laid on the stone and pcblcs exp o s e their body in the silvery moon
light. After that I heard they have
n o h o u s e to live, a n d h a v e n o
family. T h e y spciid d a y and night
in open air. T h e y say t h a t they
can spend a day with only 5 sen.
H wc went to chincse village, wc
will find t h a t all the chincse from
old m a n to child a r e smoking'.
Children conic a r o u n d us a n d a s k
