In. all coio: ings the geniuses who aspire to give tangible existence to vast embodiments of power, whether in empires, in inven- + tion and in finance move in trepidation lest they, too, | call into being a Frankenstein rather than a Colossus. Something of this feeling of fearful uncertainty hobbies the enthusiasm of the internationals who would organize the world bank provided for in the Young war reparations plan. They can see the good of it quite plainly, but they dread the hidden evils that ‘unsuspected in the scheme, to crop out in the stitution. The power for good or evil of such a structure would be tremendous and, conceivably turbing potentialities might, in instances, be capable of paralyzing effect on the world’s finances. : As the establishment of this world super-financial proj- | ect requires the participation of the allied recipients of the reparations and of Germany, which is to pay, cach * of the nations involved hesitates on the brink of organiz- ation in the fear of compromising its economic fi and eventually jeopardizing its financial interests to the international politics of not only the peace settlement but | also in ways which may not now be foreseen, ‘The United States has the greatest reason for hesi- tancy and remaining aloof. It was led into financins the World war for the allies and has reaped the dubious | prospect of ever actually recovering the billions put into the titanic conflict. Reluctant promises of reimburse- ment have been made and some moncy has been paid by | Great Britain, but in the main the war debt collection ts | a hazy hope. The bank is supposed to assure the settle- | ment of these old war obligations, out of the repara- tions paid in by Germany annually. The bank is, in fac intended to yoke Germany to payment as a maticr of honor. : However, it ha’ become plain that the United St will be expected to take over the bonding of the repar tions debt of Germany, a total probably of $1,500,009,000. What if the bank should work out, in effect, to be an- other financial flytrap for this country? The big fear in Europe is the association of the bank with politics. As it involves the reparations payments, in which the various powers have jealous interests, in- ternational politics are inseparable from the very con- i ception of the bank. The nearest safeguard the devisers | of the scheme could set up was to designate the heads of the central banks of Europe as the board of directors, with additional directors of their sclection to be added. ‘The board thus wiil be made up of men of business and finance, whose interests are not political, men who must deal primarily with economic conditions. That ought to work for stability, yet the governments involved will have @ voice through their central representatives on the board, so there is some fear that this aloofness from political in- “terference is not an air-tight arrangement, after all, but might become subject to national pressure. The question then is whether the powers, still estranged by the acerbities of war where the economic inheritances of their ‘venomous four years of bloodshed and slaughter are con- cerned, could, under some emergency of feeling or po- litical smart play, continue to operate the bank in the spirit in which the Young committee conceived the in- stitution. Europe has long been accustomed to play its diplomatic games with marked cards, With premiers of the Briand, MacDonald and Strese- mann ‘type filling the chancellories of Europe there might be mutual trust and the bank might fulfill its functions placidly, but what in the event of Poincares and Lloyd Georges or a German of the Ludendorff type becoming ascendant again? Or another Clemenceau Frenchman? The bank concerns the United States, it thus will be noted,-as a factor in the settlement of the war debts of the allies. This country has decided that the matter of reparations and the payment of debts to this country must be kept separate. For that reason the United States cannot afford to become enmeshed in the bank. As for Europe, the institution becomes a serious psycholozical consideration as well as an economic problem, if not an economic necessity to the force of which the powers must. bow after much perturbation and hesitancy. Russia Blandishes Us With Orders _ Soviet Russia evidently believes that the constant drip- ping of trade relations on the stony international atti- tude of the United States upon the question of diplo- matic recognition must gain its objective ultimately. At ‘any rate, Russian orders continue to pour in upon the in- | dustrial and commercial crganizations of the country, as | Fecapitulated in The Tribune's Dutcher letter from Wash- ington, Thursday evening. ‘This country has purchased from Russia in the last | ‘six years goods for a total of $10,000,000, while Russia | ‘Purchased in this country goods to the aggrosate F of. $430,000,000, according to the statement of one a purchasing agents in this country.

It will be a long, slow fight; but Chi sters are losi the underwo: heir power, by degrees, But it will be a long time before the situation is really cleaned up. Meanwhile, Chicago's citizens will continue to pay their $43 apiece, Meet the Underworld After 17 people were killed in the tire that destroyed a Detroit night club, an ugly rumor popped up for the po- lice to investigate. ‘This rumor said that the club had been set on fire by a Gisgruntled bootleg ring which had recently lost the privilege of supplying the club with its booze. Now this rumor is very probably false. It is quite likely that the fire was accidental and not incendiary. Never- theicss, the mere fact that that rumor came into exist- ence at all is rather important. 1t is a symptom; an indication of a state of affairs in our national life which we do not stop to recognize and whose importance we fail to realize. True or false, this rumor emphasizes once more a truth that everybody must admit; namely, that the business of selling liquor in the big cities of America is in the hands of ite criminals, and that the man who patronizes puts himself in touch with enc of the most sections of the underworld. Every little while one sees @ report of an accident caused by a bee getting into the automobile.

Post say about buttering hot sweet corn? Does she make a pasty mixture of butter, salt and pepper and then plaster. the warm roasting ear all over. with the melting mess before starting the business of biting? Or does she butter a portion of the chilling ear and do a lot of prinkly sprinkling of condiments here and there in haphazard and diffident time-wasting fash- ion as if she feared to grab hold of such a sacred delicacy as cornonthccob? It is not as if we were secking instruction! We know how it is done in Indiana. ‘We have our own system. Our sysiem would look rather smeary in print, but there is a lot of innocent delight and gratification in it. And another thing, having, in some wise, got the butter and other essentials properly or improperly mixed with the seasonal symbol of gustatory exaltation, how would mally Post go about gnawing the luscious kernel from the cob? Does she adhere to the five-row bite and the progres- sive harmonica swoofle from one end to the other of the cob before letting go, or does she broadmindedly do her eight-row clutch and return for more, after the fastidious manner of the bird? Nothing is more vital in sweet corn time than the ins and outs and delicately various discriminatory niceties of etiquette, that is, if you live by manner instead of by chow. Most of us prefer technique to etiquette. Many of us depend quite a bit on food for a living. About the only thing a Hoosier asks for by way of in- struction or encouragement in roasting-ear season, is the spectacle, in full view, as he gnaws the current cob, of a heaped platter of additional roasting ears steamingly awaiting his pleasure and coyly challenging his capacity. Others may prafe of rules, regulations, réstrictions, lim- itations, proprieties, formalities and dal ‘The av- erage Hoosier merely grunts, “Move over,” and sails in! Futile Drives Against Lawbreakers (Minneapolis Journal) We have drives on semaphore fudeing by motorists, but semaphore fud¢ing continues. We have drives on headlight glare, but headlights continue to dazzle and confuse approaching motorists. We have drives on reck- less driving, but the traffic casualty rate keeps on rising. After the Aune murder, we had a drive on the degen- er: who Farm little girls, and it revealed an amazing rate ef incidence for crimes of this sort. But it is serious- ly to be feared that, new the drive is over, little girls will not be much, if any, safer than they were before. Following a “masher murder,” a while back, we had a drive cn motor mashing. Six months later the motor masher chee more was acccsting women with more or less impunity. After a particularly shocking case, in which a father and mother were killed and a little girl orphaned, we had a drive on criminally reckless j.'

Dawdling usually is only one phase of @ phenomencn known to psychia- trists as negativism. It is character- istic of a strong willed child who is daily harried and coerced by equally strong willed but unwise parents. The child who is subject to constant correction frequently expresses his re- sentment by doing the opposite of what is required of him. Dawdling over food is a wonderful weapon whereby the negative child can gain the upper hand in the battle between himself and his elders. Another cause of dawdling is a gen- eral unhappy and unsatisfactory rou- tine. The child who does not look for- | ward to the hours of solitary play which he knows will follow his break- fast can ecarccly be blamed for pro- longing to its last possible moment his comparetively pleasant, sociable meal.

Has this change in pulse any ince for @ well man of sixty?” Answer: Your pulse will be much lower when you are resting, and much faster after exercising. This is per- fectly normal, but such a variation as you note should not occur while you are quiet. If so, it is because of a@ varying amount of gas pressure against your heart. This is due to , improper food, eating too hastily, * ae ting, and gassy food combina- Non-fat-forming Foods Question: Interested writes: “Please give me a list of foods that do not Produce fat.” Answer: The foods which produce the moet fat are the cereals and the fatty foods. All the rest can be said to be non-fet-forming. There are hundreds of these other foods, and in sclecting a diet all you have to do is to eliminete everything made from cereals cr flour, and cut down on , oils and fats.
