THE FIVE-DAY WEEK
If the saying, "As New York labor goes so goes the labor
of the.nation," holds true, American labor will soon be on a
five-day-week basis. The latest New York labor group to
win a ,five-day working week is the building trades work
ers, numbering 150,000, and several have preceded it. There
is little doubt that the practice will be nation-wide within
a few years.
The five-day week is expected to do a number of things.
It will mean the employment of more workers if production
Js to be kept up to the level maintainedat present. It should
increase the efficiency and contcntcdness of workers by re
ducing" their .hours of toil and inerensino- Ihnir- 11111111. nf
leisure and recreation. And it is the hope of the employera''i',0,',,0 "ft
giau.iuit. vtio tuiiwoun uiui consumption win e increased
by allowing; the wage earnor another half day in which to
spend his earnings.
Whether labor working five days a wee kw'ill be more con
tented than labor working a half day or rhy longer remains
to be seen. It is in direct contradiction lo the adage that the
contented man is the busy man, and a hundred others in
the book of proverbs and quotations.
So if the worker is wise he will make good use of his
leisure, hours, and that means he w '5 use them profitably.
Six days of labor, one day of recrciun.n and one day of rest
should meet the requirements of any man. Greater demand
for employment is to be desired but nut at the expense of
higher production costs to the general public.

NEW GOSPELS OF DIET
Man is what he eats. Such is the contention of a food
expert who sees in diet the supreme test of national great
ness. "The manifest destiny of the race," he says "is more
a matter of dinner than of democracy." This is a striking
way of putting it, though perhaps exactness has been sac
rificed to rhetoric. He says great emphasis on the right kind
of food, and discourses learnedly on protein, vitamines and i
tho other elements familiar in the jargon of the modern
dietician. But "the right kind" appears still to be more or
less a matter of opinion. It would be interesting to learn if
the general health of the race hns really improved since we
began to fuss so much over what we eat.
Many gospels of diet have come and gone within the
memory of living man. There are fashions in food as in
other things. Is the prune essential to health and happi
ness? Are breakfast cereals the must potent conservers of
digestion? What are the virtues of vegetables; spinach and
parsnip particularly? Are coffee and tea a blessing or a
bnne? Should milk and eggs grace the table ut every meal?
These questions will be answered by the experts variously.
Almost everyone has some exclusive remedy for human ills.
Yet any number of offensively healthly iicrsons go on eating
pretty much what they like.
More milk seems to be the main contention of this ad
viser. There is no doubt that milk is healthful. Hut there
are thousands who drink it seldom and show no evil results.
May not a heroic race be bred on other fluids? Tho Italians
are signally sound physically, and a large part of their menu
is bread and wine. Those who regard pork and veal with
aversion should not go to Ceimany. But the Germans are
stout men of their hands too. The tradition of the Yankee
farmer fried salt pork, baked lieans, raised biscuit and the
likecauses each particular hair on the head of the dietician
to stand on end like quills upon the fretful porcupine. And
yet New England bred a sturdy stock in the old unregeneratc
days.
Dogmatizing is dangerous in most cases. Good food un
questionably is a benefit to the individual or the nation.
But what is good food is still a pi .iter of debate, despite the
experts. If it isn't, then the survivnl of tho fittest has re
ceived too little atteution in history.
