IttlON DOLLAR STUFF
American women laat year apent
$760,000,000 on .perfume, rouge. , face
powder, and cosmetics, according to
luxury tax returns. That la $1300 a
ralnate. ' night and day Meanwhile
men eent up In cigar and cigarette
ainoke the magnificent sum of $1,310.
000,000 or nearly six hundred million
more In making themselves smelly
that the women did In counteract'ng
the general odoriferous effect by
making themselves fragrant
Seems needles extravagrance.
Yet after all. who would want his
womenfolk to be less alluring? If
' It takes two million dollars a clay In
mysterious bla,ndlnhinenVi. why It's
chaep at the price. Or pipe the
tobacco bill. A smoke Is a mighty
comfortable thing an excellent com
panion to add to a crowd, or an
equally excellent friend for the hours
of loneliness. Both smokes and cos
cuetlcs are masculine extravagance.
True, the nwn don't buy tha latter
extensively. But they are bought
for the men, ao It really amounta to
tha aame thing.
Bother the extravagance. Th only
things that bring a sense of down'
right satisfaction are the things fla
vored with a little spook of devil
went not too much. A life which Is
. entirely surrounded by aubatantlal
meat and potatoes, good duraele
oiothlng. aad other sheer necessities
la pretty dreary. ltfs our extrava
sanclea that make the old world a
bit brighter and a trifle more tolera
ble as a place of abode. So we pull
over these figures without a whim
per: ' Candy a billion dollars; automo
biles, two billion; "luxurious ser
vices" threti billion; ploaauio resorts,
three billion; "luxurious food", five
billion. Our grand total luxury bill
hist year was $22,700,000,000, This
Ih an average of $216.00 for every
mr.ti, woman and child in the nation,
and prompts us , to , rise ad remark
that we have a personal luxury .credit
coming ' to us for the next year, of
approximately $21.87.

CASH AND CARRY STORE
CHANGES MANAGEMENT
D. B. Murphy and wlfo have taken
the place of W. M. Green as manager
of Gray's Cash and Carry atore on
Main street Mr. Murphy haa been In
the employ of Mr. Gray In Eugene for
some time and la considered a very
competent man. Mr. and .Mrs. Mur
phy have secured rooms at the Elite
apartment bouse and will make their
home in Springfield.
Loyal Legion of
lent assumed shinning prcjportlocs.
A few of tbe less hopeful are pre
dicting bread lines In large cities, and
a tome-back of the hobo and the pan
handler who have been among those
absent for many moons. Mostly there
Is a tone of cheerful optimism, about
a hoped-for return- to full awing after
the first of the year. Tbe ft ct Is that
if anyone knows exactly what la to
happen this winter, that Individual Is
keeping religiously sllont Most of
us are Just gunning. Of course If
.there Ina fulj tire of employment the
more populous East will be harder hit
than the West. But we shall all feel
it.
Unemployment Is no new problem.
It has occurred bofore. Attention may
be directed to the fact that a wave of
employment has the same basic
economic effect as a strike wave. It
means several million potential pro
ducers who are not producing; mil
lions of dollars of economic loss, tor
, which all have to pay. In effect we
have a strike a strike of circum
stance. For of course the amount of
deliberate shutting down of Indus
trial plants la negligible. It costs
the' managers, owners and operators
too much money. The shut down Is
heartily regretted by all present.
But should we stand Idly by. gener
ation after generation, because it Is
a strike of circumstances, and allow
tha deadly apeetor of unemployment
to be always in the offing? It is
reasonable to suppose that Intelligent
humiin beings csn uncover a solution,
if that Intelligence U applied. It is
a proper function of government,(an
only federal government could func
tion effectively) to attack the prob
lem, study causes of unemployment,
and erect machinery for its preven
tlon. It does not speak well for us
that we allow unemployment to fas
ten Itself on the county,, and then
make a. few haphazard attempts at
merely palliative remedy.
' Congress once t.urned down" an ap
propriation for the study of the un
employment problem. Maybe It cltl
tans exercised their influence, we
could cauHO Congress to see that H
has a proper duty In regard to the
same.

6 T SUCCESS
Merchants and Members of the
4-L Hold Discussion
and Social Hour
One of the most beneficial events
In the history of Springfield waa ac
complished a hen the business men
and members of the Loyal Legion of
Loggers and Lumbermen met In the
Loyaj Legion HalL Monday evening
Jan. 3rd to partake of a banquet be
come better acquainted discuss and
adjust matters pertaining to each
other's welfare.
Mr. Geo. Davenport Chairman, in
formed the gathering that-the success
of the Loyal Legion Organization had
been accomplished through cooperate
tlon between the employer and em
ployee on a 60-50 basis and as present
conditions throughout the United
States demand rtabllization to insure
our future prosperity they believed
as a solution of the present conditions
and In view of the tact that it was
now necessary that labor sustain a
reduction they had taken these means
to present these tacts and solicit tha
co-operation ot the business men, la
equalizing these necessary changes.
Messrs. Bressler, S warts, Rosen
ateln, Lyons, Laxton and Gray, on
behalf of the bualneaa men stated that
they realized, as everybody else, the
necessity ot stabilization of business
and expressed their desire of co-operation
to attain this end. Seeing In
the Loyal Legion the satisfactory and
Just solution of all industrial and so
cial matters they believed that fre
quent ."get-together" meetings ot this
kind, especially between the mer
chants, would create an association
which would be of mutual benefit to
each other and the community in jen
era i. . t- .
Both tbe merchant and tbe wage'
earner have their troublea and meet-:
ings ot this kind afford the opportun
ity to understand each other and ad-.
just matters through co-operation, as
was shown by the general discussion,
of statistics and opinions locallly arid
throughout the country and every one
left the meeting with the firm convic
tion that as soon as this "reconstruc-t
tlon period." (which we have been ner
vously anticipating for the past two
years) la over we, will enter an era
of prosperity better than wa ever
had. , -t
