The revival of prosperity is doubtless one cause, but the principal reason is that the railroads are now, for the first time, run as businesses, or business principles. This was, in fact, one of the greatest boons to Germany con- ferred by the Dawes plan. Under the old political manage- ment, the roads were run to promote favored industries, and to help favored interests or districts.

SHARK SHOES Philippine shark fishers export the fins but make no at- tempt to utilize any other part of the fish, according to Philippine Bureau of Agriculture report. Here’s opportunity for some good business man. Utili- zation of shark’s skin for leather is the most important part ef the new shark fishing industry, which has proved espe- cially profitable along the Florida coast. * Boot and glove manufacturers are demanding great quan- m| tities of shark skin. If the industry is developed in the Philippines, America has a market capable of consuming the whole supply. CONFIDENCE Money in circulation totals over 4665 million dollars, ack Uncle Sam reports. Over a third of this is Federal Reserve fter’ paper money, much of which is backed only by commodities warehouse stocks, carloads of bricks, etc. We're gradually losing the gold and silver fetish, by the Bisw “elastic currency” route.

With that in mind, it is trying to recruit dentists in the war against the dread disease.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT | TO THE LITTLE MARQUISE, CONTINUED I looked at mother in surprise, little Marquise. Where did she learn all this. Surely my mother had lived one of the most beautiful of lives with her husband. She had always been sheltered in dear old jad’s arms as it were. Why did she say to me that I was to be thankful that Jack did not un- derstand me? What did she mean when she suid that loving was all a game? Thad no time to ask her then what it all meant, for she, seeing the per- plexity in my fa orgive my lecture, dear child. been afraid that you have been growing somewhat rebellious nst that which ii “Make the best of it all, my dear, for some time when all that you hold will be only memories of that which you have known, you will _under- stand that all of life is goed.” “Of course it is,” said a hearty voice. I turned quickly and found Jack holding out his arms to me, I walked straight into them. dack seemed to want to crush my liferout of me, He.held me so close and oh, but I was glad—so very glad, to be in his arms again. (Copyright, 1825, NEA Service, Inc.) The Tangle :: When I took my arms from about | his neck and my lips from his, I turned and found that my mother had left us alone. “Darling,” said Jack, “I have been so lonely without you, After a man marries, no matter what he thinks, he can not return to his old free bachelor life. Something has come into his existence that makes the world a void when his wife is gone even if he does not appreciate her when she is near. “Oh, Leslie, what a howling desert is u great big hotel when you are away.” “But, Jack, you did not feel that way when you left for New York and left me alone.” He stopped my words with kisses and said. “Stop! Tell me the truth. Breast to breast! Hea.” to heart! Life to life! Are you really glad to see me? Do you still love me even when I’m a brute to you? Did you want me even when you ran away from me and ame down here?” He seemed’ tq be quite absorbed in looking into my eyes and I was glad he didn’t notice the thirsting stare with which I devoured him. Oh, little Marquise, I never knew how much I had wanted my husbaud until I had him with me.

Rowell | Today’s paragraphs are frankly on one side of a contro- iverted question. If your own views are. on the other side, see if you can igive better reasons for them. Once more the senate irreconciliables raise a tremendous ‘pother lest the United States has committed itself to some- thing inconsistent with their isolationist policy. We have signed an agreement by which a part of the collections under the Dawes plan will be assigned to us in payment of the costs of our army of occupation. . Have we thereby com- imitted ourselves to joining in any steps to enforce those | payments, in case Germany should default? The answer seems to be, quite plainly, that we have not. We have maintained our right to be paid; but we have also safeguarded what the irreconciliables regard as still more sacred—the right to let Germany refuse to pay us, and not do anything about it. This is the way of it: We were to be paid for the costs of our army of occupation out of the collections from Ger- many—but -we were not paid. So’ we entered into a second agreement, the so-called Wadsworth agreement, by which we were again to be paid out of those collections, at the rate of about 87,000,000 gold marks a year—and again we {got nothing. Now we enter into a third agreement, to be paid out of the same collections, now under the Dawes plan, at the rate of 55,000,000 gold marks a year, plus 214 per cent of what- ever else is collected under the Dawes plan. The advantage of this agreement is that we shall actually get the money, so long as Germany pays. Whenever Germany stops paying the irreconciliables in- sist that we must be committed to doing anything about it— New York, Jan. 28.—Bootleg is in the heart and core of New York. Bootleg, not only of liquor, "but of many of the commodities and luxur- ies of life. Bootleg of human life itself. Bootleg is in the very New York. No new laws will stop it.

No European statesman has said that we have made any. such commitment, or are under any such obligation. No European statesman has even ‘said that in his opinion our interest in the payments is such that when the Germans default we will prop- ably then decide to join with our fellow-creditors in enforcement measures,- European newspapers ‘have said that, and they may or may not be correct, but no repre- sentative of any European govern- ment has said it. It is true that Europe has gener- ally welcomed the signing of the agreement as the re-entry of Am- erica in the, counsels of Europe— but, from everything but the irre- conciliable standpoint, that is a very different thing. The irreconciliables, who think we ought not’ to be in those coun- cils at all, even in matters in which our interesta are engaged, are logi- cal in objecting to this agreement, not on the’ false pretense that it commits ug to “sanctions” against Germany, but on the general ground that they do not want to be joined with anybody in anything, good or bad, not eyen in the payment of our honest, debts, But very few Americans now share that view.
