These payments, as scheduled, will total a little less than $270,000,000 of which but $50,000,000 applies on prin- cipal, the remainder being interest. Most of this amount is due from our four principal Allies in the war— Great Britain owing $171,000,000, Bel- that year after year deaths by hom!- cide are increasing, and in a final an- alysis, a great measure of responsibil- ity must be laid at the door of a pub- Ue mind utterly apathetic and indif- ferent to a criminal condition that stamps this country as the most law- less among the great civilized and in- dustrial nations of the world. Maintaining Morale Second only in imporance to a place where he can eat and sleep, is a place where the jobless and homeless man can clean up, wash his clothes and otherwise keep himself as presentable 8 possible. There are many men out of employ- ment and honestly seeking work, who are compelled to travel the road un- der most distressing conditions. Hav- ing no funds they are forced to un- dergo hardships with no chance to indulge in the niceties of living to which they have been accustomed in more prosperous times. Filth and dirt become inescapable companions. Ifa man has no opportunity for Personal hygiene he is badly handi- capped in his fight for existence, all too difficult under the most favorable conditions at the present time. His greatest and last asset, his self-respect, can be quickly destroyed. A place should be provided where these unfortunate men, should they care to do so, may take advantage of @ liberal supply of soap and water. It will do much to maintain their morale and keep up their spirits. Trade With Russia Colonel Hugh L. Cooper, famous American engineer and president of the American-Russian Chamber of Commerce, declared in a recent inter- view that Soviet Russia is poten- tially the biggest market in the world for American exporters. In the last eight years, he said, Russia has bought $2,500,000,000 worth of goods from the outside world, and has paid the bill without delay and gium $8,450,000, France $60,000,000 and Italy $14,790,000. ‘The United States government must list these foreign debt payments as estimated receipts in the 1933 budget, otherwise there would be the natural interpretation that it did not expect to'receive them, which is not the case. ‘There is no indication that Congress, either in its present or anticipated temper, will agree to any extension of the moratorium or to any radical re- ductions in the foreign debts. At the same time, there is presented the German budget with a complete disregard of further reparation pay- ments. That these payments should cease is a fundamental of future Ger- man policy and has been so announced by the moderate Bruening government now continued in power by the re- election of President von Hindenburg. Any other stand taken by a German government doubtless would lead to its early downfall. ny'’s refusal to continue rep- aral jayments may be expected to have gata at the Laus- anne conferencd scheduled for next dune in view of the fact that the ‘United States has told Europe that it must settle this problem independent of America, whi¢h in turn is commit- ted to debt collection. France, especially, has been en- deavoring to obtain a tacit under- standing on debt readjustments prior to any settlement of the perplexing reparations question, but the present attitude of the United States govern- ment is that whatever part of the scheduled $270,000,000 foreign debtors may refuse to pay during the fiscal year 1933, by so much will that year’s budget remain unbalanced. Death By Homicide Increasing Citizens of the United States have reason to be proud of their record in advancing the cause of civilization. However, lest they become too vain- glorious or too obsessed with the amenities of life, they should take note of a serious problem now con- fronting the American people. Last year 12,000 persons, with an av- erage age of 31 years, lost their lives by manslaughter or murder. The death rate by homicide in the United States was thrice the average rate for 53 leading cities of the world. According to the Department of without the loss of one cent. In the not-distant future Russia’s imports can be expected to total at least $2,- 000,000,000 a year. Furthermore, Rus- sia is eager to have American guid- ance in development of her national resources, and is very favorably im- pressed with American goods. You might keep those points in mind the next time some purblind “patriot” insists that we put an em- bargo on imports of goods from Rus- sia, A market that could make us completely forget the depression. is waiting for us there—unless we spoil it by idiotic trade restrictions.

Diets and Prices (New York Times) Until after supper-time tomorrow the Mayor of Syracuse, N. Y., with a devotion to duty more Roman than Syracusan, will be trying out on him- self the 9-cent-a-day dietary recom- mended by the municipal health au- thorities as a basis for distributing home relief. But it is really not nec- essary to wait for the Mayor to com- plete his test in order to raise a ques- tion which goes to the heart of the matter. The difficulty with scientific food formulas is a double one. The normal man finds himself going away hungry from the mere act of reading over the menus which the experts have drawn up. And the normal housewife finds herself in violent dis- agreement with the ideal costs laid down. Concerning the market prices published by government and private agencies and eagerly studied by heads of familles, it usually turns out that everybody believes in them except the butcher and the grocer. They always remain profound skeptics. In the Syracuse case the first im- patient objection that you simply cannot feed a hungry man on 9 cents’ worth of food a day gives place to curiosity as one looks over the list of items for a week's meals. In weight it adds up to close to twenty pounds, and a ration of three pounds of food a day is, at first sight, not an impossible portion. It does not contain any fresh Gilbert Swan Not So White New York, April 30.—Dimmer grows the famous blinding glare along the “gay white way.” But for the pretentious electric pyro- technics of competing film palaces, the gradual disappearance of familiar blazing panoramas might have at- tracted startled attention. Atop the roofs at 46th and Broad- way, two huge frames have stood black against the night for many days. And gone completely are the firey displays that glared from bulld- ing fronts at 43rd street. * * The latter signs had an odd story, by the way. One of these night adorn- ments covered one face of @ building occupied by a hotel. Owners found they could get more money. by renting the building’s side than they could for the rental of the adjacent rooms, darkened and shadowed by the vast signs. So the windows were boarded up and for many years there were dozens of hotel rooms going unoccu- pied. When the signs were taken down thousands of New Yorkers learned for the first time of the barred windows and the dust gathered interiors. x % % High Cost of Plugging Fy runs into money, incidentally, to plaster the night with the names of stage and screen stars. Those players who finally get their monikers on the larger bright lights must have a status worth the cost. The Winter Garden boasts the col- lection of biggest letters. For special events, each member of the alphabet stands 30 feet high in its stocking feet. Almost a thousand dollars is spent each time a sign is changed— and this often happens each week. Then there's the electric bill and the replacement of bulbs. Something like 400 are used to supply the necessary nightly glow. A number of the bright light signs are equipped with trick attachments for unusual displays. Thus one is hitched toa steam apparatus that milk or natural butter and only one egg for the week, and is obviously no diet for a growing child. But it does. contain bread, potatoes, nearly two pounds of beef, pork and lard, but- ter substitutes, evaporated milk, cof- fee, cocoa, salmon and nearly a dozen cereals, vegetables and fruits. It is obviously @ much better diet than the one prevailing for nearly everybody in high figure of 10.9 per 100,000 of pop- ulation in 1931. The consecutive rec- ord for 31 American cities, with 25,- 000,000 population, shows ® progres-| tion, the sive rise in the homicide death rate from 5.1 per 100,000 in 1900 to 10.8 in 1931. Comparison between American and foreign rates serves but’ to emphasize the murder threat hanging over the head of every American citizen. In 14 Jeading Canadian cities the homicide tate last year was 1.6 per 100,000. In ‘Windsor, opposite Detroit, there was Not @ single death from homicide in & population of 63,000, while the De- troit rate was 10.8. For every eight deaths from homicide in London, or for every five in Liverpool per 1,000,- Soviet Russia. Yet it may turn out that three pounds of bread, potatoes, meat and vegetables a day are not enough to sustain a man. And re- gardless of the amount of food that should go into an adequate day’s ra- 4 will want to know how three pounds of food may be bought for 9.cents. What is there that is available at three cents a pound, except possibly potatoes and One answer, of course, is ing in great quantities. But that is precisely one of the housewife’s griev- ances. She resents the diet lists based on buying 100 tons of butter and 1,000 gross of canned salmon by the United States Army. Her own purchases are made in much smaller lots.

King was in the unique position of having made his biggest fortune by writing under a woman’s name. The song was “Beautiful Ohio,” which ert some 6,000,000 copies. And still sells. For a time the mystery of “Mary Earl” was a Broadway puzzle.- No one could locate such a woman; no one had ever heard of her. Yet she had a phenomenal success. Reporters tried to ferret her out. Musicians scratched their heads. Later the story came out. King was of German ancestry. The family name had been Koenig. In pre-war and war times, it was thought advis- able to take another name. He in- vented “Mary Earl.” Later he changed his name to King. ee % And the wagsters around Broad- way, noting how things have been Kicked tround on this globe, have changed the Shakespearean lines to read: “All the world’s a stooge.” Nancy Carroll, after startling friends by appearing as a blonde, is going back to her old red hair.

French and British morale was higher after the failure of the attempt to seize the channel ports. German losses in killed and wound- ed during the three weeks campaign was estimated at more than 150,000. Allied forces on the Lys sector con- fined their activities for the day to a series of minor raids and small scale operations which resulted in improv- ing and strengthening their positions, The British admiralty officially an- nounced the destruction of 12 German submarines during the month of April.

Fifteen per cent, or 65 of these chil- dren, had defects of the eyes which had not been given proper attention. In 160 of the 432 children, or 37 per cent, the tonsils and the throat were found to be the subject of chronic infection sufficiently severe to de- mand prompt consultation of the fam- ily doctor.

You did that beautiful- ly," she told him, feeling conspicu- ous with her armful of flowers. She went to sit on one of the benches outside of the station. Idly she no- ticed & girl in white flannel with a great Russian wolf hound on « leash, pacing up and down. There was something familiar about the set of the beautiful little head under the rakish, white hat. When the girl turned her profile Susan knew her at once. It was Denise Ackroyd. Deliberately Susan looked the other way. She could not quite forgive that girl for having inter- rupted her and Bob Dunbar at luncheon, The old pain began to throb in her breast. “I was so happy & moment ago,” Susan thought resentfully, “Why need she remind:me of him? I was , trying to forget.” Irresistibly her eyes were drawn . back to the straight, graceful fig: ure. At that moment Denise's gaze met-he-r. She bowed frigidly and moved away. IN HUNTEe BY MABEL _McE the window caught a glimpse of Denise casually embracing a tall, blond young man, carrying golf sticks. Unaccountably her heart lightened. In the back of her mind all this time, unacknowledged, had lain the fear that Denise might be the unnamed charmer in Bob's life. It did not seem so hard to lose him to someone she had never seen. A real flesh blood rival was more terrifying. “Perhaps it isn’t true,” Susan thought. She wondered where Bob was and when he was returning. How strange that he had not even writ- ten her a line! She had watched the mails day after day until pride had come to her rescue. Then the dream had died and more than one night her pillow had been wet with tears. see HE dismissed all this now reso- lutely and began to think of other things—the house she had Just left and her employer with his lean, ascetic face and quizzical eyes. Surely; Ernest Heath had everything to be desired—wealth, position, friends and that beauti- ful house and garden. She could hear herself describing the place in detail to Rose or to Aunt Jessie. Aunt Jessie would sniff at what she called “fol-de-rols,” but she would be impressed just the same. However, it was Ray Flannery who first heard the story of. Su- san's visit, “My eye! Flowers, where are you going with that girl?” Ray shrilled, meeting Susan in the hall. Susan turned a blooming face. “Aren't they lovely?” she asked. “They're from Mr. Heath's garden. I had to go out there to take dicta- tion. He's laid up.” Ray whistled softly. “Getting a stand in?” she inquired. the missus didn’t pick those for ‘you.” Susan said with dignity, “One of the -maids did, Mr, Heath told her to.” Ray whistled. “One of the maids! My hat! How many do they have and what kind of a place is it?” “It's—ob, it’s beautiful!” said Susan, eyes shining. “It's out in the real country. There's every kind of bird you ever heard of—” Ray chortled, “Wouldn't you think they'd want to live on Lake Shore drive or somewhere like that? Wouldn't you think they’d have s duplex up near the park?/ been How asybody can see that country stuff gets me!” “It's lovely,” “You couldn't have a garden if you ved in a duplex apartment.” LLIOTT “I'll bet} and “Who wants a garden?” Ray de- manded. She had followed Susan into the office and draped herself gracefully over @ partition. “Me, T’a have a standing order at a florist’s for orchids or maybe gar- denias.” Jack Waring interrupted them, “Sounds like your line, sugar,” he sald impudently, Ray made a saucy face at him. “You know me, old thing!” To Susan she said, “See you later. Had your lunch?” Hastily Susan sald, “I've got 80 much work to do I'm going to have a sandwich sent up.” Ray departed. Curiously Waring gazed at Susan. “The boss must have been feeling better,” he hasarded. Susan re- craee bis look with utmost can- r. “No, he wasn't really,” she ex- plained. “He looks miserable. But he was £0 nice, He told Simon to wait and had all these gathered for me. It was sweet of him, wasn't it?” eee Warine agreed gravely, keep- ing his thoughts to himself. He had learned several things in the last month or so about this girl. Cynic that he was, he had discov- ered that Susan was to be taken at her face value. What she said she meant and what she seemed to be she was, It was startling but true, Jack Waring had not under stood that at first. Now he was a Uttle ashamed of his earlier att!- tude, Susan began to wish Waring would go. He made her nervous, aitting there drumming on the desk with his well manicured fingers eyeing her with that specula- tive gaze. She put away her hat, thrust the flowers into an umbrella stand and fipped open her desk, The man smiled wryly, recognizing signs of dismissal, . “Sorry you're so busy,” he said smoothly, “I wanted to tell you about meeting an old friend of yours.” Susan had slipped a sheet of pa- Der into the machine.

Quietly she said, “Yes, very much. Please go on.” eee G22 was scarcely prepared for the name he uttered nor could she restrain the warm color. that flooded her cheeks, “It was young Bob Dunbar,” Jack Waring said. “And he was asking for you.” “Bob Dunbar?” she answered, “Yes, The old man ‘wants some sort of Elizabethan shack out at Half-Day, you know, and Heath told me to run over and give him a line on it.” “No. I didn’t know.” Outwardly Susan was composed, but that throb of her blood told the tale. “He's a handsome devil, isn't het” pursued Waring. “Where'd you meet him?” She kept her fingers steady on the keys. “At business school. He was taking the course—some whim of his father’s. Yes. He's very nice.” “Very nice, Very nice.” The fu- tile, foolish words mocked her, As it sho hadn’t been dreaming of Robert Dunbar’s image for‘months, As if every lineament of his splen- did young face weren't burnt on her brain. Very nice, indeed!
