NORTH SHORE BREEZE 7 
Europe has its militaristic problem and is now pay- 
ing the penalty of drastic military preparedness. It is 
unwise for this nation to walk into the troubles of the 
old world and re-establish a new armament race in 
America; nevertheless Captain Gardner’s assertion that 
our fastest cruiser is slower than the Bluecher that fell 
behind in the recent engagement in the North Sea, 
affords food for thought. A pacificist need not nec- 
essarily favor disarmament. 
The Vanceboro bridge wrecker was doubtless in- 
spired to an act of ‘‘conspicuous service’’ for ‘‘his”’ 
cause for the sole purpose of obtaining rewards as a war 
‘“‘hero’’. It is not likely that his act will cause our 
government any embarrassment, although his extradi- 
tion may involve a long legal dispute. It was an act of 
malicious vandalism and ought to be punished as such. 
On February 14 the Church people of America will 
again observe ‘‘Go-to-Church’’ Sunday. This unique 
enterprise originated in Ohio and has spread all over 
the country. Last year was the first year and the at- 
tendance on that Sunday reached the high-water mark 
of years. Remember Go-to-Church Sunday. 
The coasting sports of winter are healthful and in- 
vigorating, but they have their dangers; parents may 
well warn children of the dangers incident to coasting 
down hills that cross roadways with the dangers of 
striking moving vehicles. 
The two recent storms have claimed their toll of 
lives and property and suffering, but even these dif- 
ficulties have had their compensations. The snow-fail 
has given employment to thousands who would have 
otherwise been idle.

‘‘Build now’’ is the new slogan. It has merits that 
are apparent. Mayor Curley is quite right when he 
says that in the last fifteen years there has not been 
a better time for building. Let the good work go on. 
Idle money deters business enterprises, but business 
enterprise moves money, and moving money increases 
wealth and feeds thousands. Begin Business! 
The financial depression that has been brought 
about by the varied influences now at work has result- 
ed in a marked decline in security prices and thou- 
sands of dollars of cheap money is being called and re- 
invested in high grade securities whitch are now low. 
In maintaining the standard of the Schools of Bev- 
erly to the high plane on which they are operated and 
yet keep the school tax rate the next to the lowest of 
any city in the State is a credit to the school committee 
and superintendent of schools of that city. 
The Thorndike Club, an organization started by a 
group of public-spirited ladies of Beverly for the benefit 
of working girls in that city, has opened its doors. This 
is a praiseworthy enterprise and the Breeze wishes it 
every success. 
Apropos to the inactivity in Europe it may be a 
ease in point to suggest that the Crimean war broke out 
November 30, 1853, but is was not until the autumn of 
1854 that the war actually began. 
In the cross influences due to the new tariff un-em- 
ployment, high cost of living and the European war it 
is difficult to analyze any element in the business de- 
pression, but the Waltham Watch Company attributes 
its difficulties directly to the tariff. There’s a reason.
