ITALIA Italy is as rich now as she s before the war, reports a big New York bank. Hard work has replaced her war tosses of 2000 millions of dollars worth of property, Count- ing her provinces acquired as a result of the war settlement, she’s richer than in 1914. This looks good on paper. But be prepared to run if you spring it on a resident of Italy who’s paying high taxes and war-inflated prices. A war is a loss, no matter whether a country wins or loses. War is a hemorrhage of national vitality and national wealth. a survival of the This seal was ORIENT To the orient Americans have sold 700 million dollars worth of exports in the 12 months ending June 30.

Fourteen thousand miles of highway, built with federal aid (Uncle Sam’s financial help), are now under construction, to cost 262 million dollars. More than twice that much has been appropriated since the federal aid road act became law in 1916. It would be wiser to build for lastingness rather than mileage. A considerable part of our roads wear out so fast, it’s like pouring public money down the sewer. READING Heaven help us, several colleges have installed courses teaching book agents how to ply their trade. Fortunately, they specialize at selling from behind the counter in stores. And that job requires education. More so steadily, say speakers at a convention of book dealers. They find people are “thinking more,” increasingly buying volumes on serious subjects. And movies and radio have stimulated book sales | instead of curtailing them as many once expected.

Twelve per cent a year is the gain. And Canada ‘is one of the very few countries where we are sure of getting our money. my PROSPEROUS In the whole world are about 18,200,000 autos.

Now it ig discovered that a still more ancient r: is bu heneath the one that had disap- peared before white men came to} America. The discovery came purely as an accident. Dr. John Walter Fewkes, chief of the bureau of American ethnology of the Smithsonian In- stitution, was excavating a stone grave cemtery on Wheeden’s Island, off the cost of Florida, The picks of his diggers struck through the graves of the prehistoric race remnants of life so old that he ‘has not attempted to assi n it toa fortu- two graveyards, centuries apart in time, were located one on top of | the other. The earlier burials, Dr. Fewkes thas reported, are typical of early periods. in human development. Just how ancient he believes those graves to be will probably not be- until he returns to his office in Washington and has time to work up his data system- atically. The theory, so long held, that America was peopled from Asia has long been tottering. Pos- sibly it is now about to be dis- proved.—Outlook.

The judgment of a good many parents in matters of child digt is sadly limited. The need of nourishing food is a paramount one during the pre-school period, which is one of rapid growth and great activity. Protein foods are fine body builders and should be high in the list—including milk, eggs, green vegetables und cereals, Some meat should be included for their animal proteins, which some physicians declare to be of higher grade than vegetable proteins.

They Won't Catch the Old Master Napping | ! NEVER AN END TO TROUBLES By Albert Apple The butcher who keeps his hand on the scales and weighs it in with thé steak may be known to many of you. And, no doubt, you comment about the-erookedness: and petty cheating of this day and age when things are going to the bow-wows. Things, by the way, are always going to the bow-wows— in all generations, all centuries. More than 400 years ago a famous French preacher named Oliver Maillard rose up in his pulpit and pronounced a.curse -on “those who, when they weigh, press down the scales with their finger.” e Preacher Maillard took a rap at “tavernkeepers who sophisticate and mingle wines.” . . -And after four cen- turies most bootleggers are doing the same thing—adulter-. ating liquor. Maillard denounced “butchers who blow up their meat, and. who mix hog’s lard with the fat of their meat.” . . . . The popular trick in 1924 is to feed the fowl a lot of corn just before killing it, or weigh heavier. pour gravel in its gullet to make i Maillard championed the downtrodden poor by boldly telling his rich congregation: “If you ladies and gentlemen who are battening on your pleasures and wear scarlet clothes, I believe if you were closely put in a good wine- press we should see the blood of the poor gush out.” The more a man studies the histories of long-departed generations, the more impressed he is that people have the same basic troubles no matter in what century they live. Troubles have no end. They seem to be perpetual. True, there is a never-ending fight against these chronic troubles. But the troubles persist despite no end of denunciation and indignation. Are we really getting anywhere, through the ages? Or are we just kidding ourselves? ‘ Nature doesn’t want us to have things easy. Occasionally it may seem that life is a jail, troubles part of ‘a sentence we are serving for sins of a previous existence. The real an- swer, of course, is that troubles and obstacles are sent to develop and bring out the best that’s in us. Preacher Maillard was simply wasting his breath. LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE THE SECRET DRAWER it seems good to get home I wonder if you have missed me, dear little Marquise?

I should not stay away from, his party, which I found out afterward he had planned on a scale, beginning with a box at the Metropolitan Opera House, and end- ing with a gorgeras supper and dancing at the Little Club. “He acted as though you were the guest of honor, Les,” Alice said. “Well, wasn’t she?” asked mother quietly,, who was standing by. “I cannot understand you, Alice, since. you returned from England. You know you cannot always be the cen- ter of attraction.

If I had not I would then and there have told mother the whole, story. I am going to put those pearls in the little secret drawer here and keep them out of my sight for a long time.

He would be ac- ceptable to the moderately progres- sive or mildly. conservative groups in the party. On the other hand, Glass would be wholly acceptable to “big busj- ness” and “the interests.” | * This would be due not so much per- haps to the belief that he would lean unduly in their direction, but to the fact that they already know where he stands...
