The great disaster ©of 1927 proved how great is the danger to life " and’ property ‘over river areas of several States, ‘and demomstrated that flood relief is a national - and not a purely local question. The nation " eannot soon forget the losses of last year and| should bend every effort to be in position to . control the flood waters by the time another such emergency shall arise, ' FOREIGN TRADE GROWTH. Statistics compiled by the Department 3 co-mm show a substantial growth of " United States’ export trade in 1927. The out- ward movement was larger tham in any recent year, while the volume of imports continued at ‘about ‘the same level as in 1926. American exports in 1927 reached $4,865, ”Q.i” in round figures, or 1.2 per cent. greater 3 in the preceding 12 months. Were allow- for the pronounced decline in the of export prices, the total quantity e shipped abroad would have shown of about 10 per cent. in value. NO PRESENT FLOOD DANGER.

(New York World.) The number of commerejal failures in United States during the past year was the largest since 1922. This may seem hard to re- concile with our widely heralded prosperity, but the number of insolvencies is not always a re- |liable index of the state of general business. In 1922, the record year for failures, business was steadily improving and the high rate mere- 1y reflected the cleaning up of the wreckage caused by the depression of the two preceding years. The number of failures during 1927 was very close to that attained im 1922, but owing to the commercial expansion in this interval it represents a much smaller proportion of the country’'s total business. The inerease during the past year was obviously not the result of any idespread depression, as was the case five years ago, but it is attributed mainly to the keenness of competition in a period whem business activity has been gomewhat above normal, The preval- ence of e money has also been a contributing |factor by stimulating new business ventures, some of which have proved ill-advised. Whatever ‘the causes, thé :rate of mortality is much too high. It bespeaks soc and economic waste, and it shows that we still far from attaining that condition of general efficiency which we are oftemn inclined to gard as one of our national attributes. the prospect 80 is in do year be no will great as business of the re- Would the 2.75 per cent. beer called for by tife American Federation of Labor have kick enough to give general satisfaction’— (Boston Globe.) 3 e L SR A man may not hear the Willis boom and still not be in need of treatment for deafness, (l’hllldelnhh\ Bulletin,) e —— Those Moslem girls who are sald to he so poorly educated ought to be all-right as flappers. -(lndhaapblh Nm i Im- e ~per cent. less tham in 1926 price CMW Ad- indicate it cannot | Association, than twice Plunkett’s absence, me and paper activi-| increase in the quan- probably | : any previous in exports a gain excess of merchandise shipped abroad over nce of trade— last than in the | war | residence | {or give e and as an educa-| Falcon | attie | admitted | would | and | | ter wagon debts and not worry—and e's plenty of love a man and ALONG LIFE’S ‘J,v ]\H!'nl-‘r:an Nl‘(l:an ]\vilhuui going DETO[)R o the Divorce ourt, Stockings always have had By SAM HILL but it support visible means of support, recently that the » visible. reason a wife doesn’t b v man is what he thinks he because her husband thinks 1e is superior to her. a man dresses quiet. use you were not he was velling for and hunting. for Real Poverty—These Days | They are the kind of folks Dame fortune doth not codulc |Hard is their lot—for they | Must arive a last y he lieve | Observations of Oldest Inhabitant An old-fashioned man is who thinks when there was mor on girls there was more to them Often Happens ‘Have a good time around when one linen * button Pekinese is a poor substitute children, but ‘at -least you have to lie ke all night at ndering whether it -will get v adld s still comie from home.” Passing Observation much a man's in love wit work depends largely on how hig his pay envelope is.
