His body was disinterred and brought back to this! country for reburial recently.

But some interesting. facts about honesty have been collected by F. N. Withey of the Na- tional Surety Company of New York. i This is an organization that bonds treasurers, ticket sellers and others entrusted with large sums of money. The records of defaults show that the ideal com- bination for honesty is a fat, married chap who swears like a sailor. Withey says that men with those characteristics are considered the “best risks” by the bonding) companies. That is, they are least.apt to steal other people’s money. Profane men, says Withey, let off steam with cuss-words, and that makes them at peace with the world, coveting nothing. Fat men gorge their stomachs, then sigh with satisfaction and are contented with what they) have, inclined not even to consider stealing. Married men, fearing to disgrace their families, | are six times as honest as bachelors. Among races, Withey says, the Chinese are most honest—possibly because of the ancient Chinese custom of chopping off the head of a con- victed thief. From which, you might deduce that the best person to hire for a cashier is a fat, married, swearing Chinese. But even that combinativin can be beaten—for Withey says that surely statistics show that the “best risk in the world” is an American ,woman. | Ladies, we salute you! : | RIGHT! | Secretary -Mellon of, the treasury has told the! Senate that the present, administration considers itself bound by the agiteettent made by the Wilson: administration with foreign: governments in re-j spect of deferring payment of the interest on the! ten-billion-dollar debt. The interest now due amounts to nearly a bil- lion dollars. It is accumulating at the rate of about half a billion dollars a year. ’ Uncle Sam has a good many uses for that half billion a year and there is room for a great differ-; ence of. opinion whether the agreement referred} to should: have been made. But it was made and the decision to stand by it without, quibbling is both a wise and an honor-; able decision. 2 ' , MEXICO While it probably will be a long time before! nogmalcy can properly. be used’ to describe Mex- ico’s condition, the Obregon government is moy-| ing injthat general direction. ‘Recently .18 out of 30 banks that, were forced to-¢lose during the “disturbances,” have’ been per- mitted -to resume all customary operations, except the issuance of bank notes. ; The Washington government is said: to be in-| creasingly hopeful that Obregon will soon meet our demand that a tréaty. guaranteeing Amer- ican rights must precede recognition and the ex- change of ambassadors.

But the peo- nle have been eating the wrong kind of food; Atid that’ is what caused | the pellagra outbreak. ‘ "0. many ‘people in the south live mn>a steady* diet. of salt pork, corn meal and molasses,” said a Pub- lic Health Service expert. “They don’t get enough fresh meat, vege- tables or milk. “The reason pellagra is. especially widespread right now: is ‘because ten- j ant farmers, reducéd to. poverty by {the cotton crop failure, have been living on. the cheapest food they could get.” Pellagra sufferers undergo intense ‘suffering. In the last stages of the disease the victims becomes crazed. In many. cases victims have to be re- moved to asylums and some remain permanently insane, of cotton-growing states, from Texas on the west to ‘the Carolinas on the east. The hardest hit are Mississip- pi, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. t Sot wu TeteSGRam, MR. TRvE — 2 WHAT'S UP % THAT'S GOOD, NEIGupor } - GITHSR TAKE YOUR Gat. . ALONG.
