These bedsprings, even when we are young and strong, gradually rob us of strength and vitality. It is in middle age or duringillness when we become acutely conscious of the discomfort that has been sapping our energy. These springs do not allow the body to rest naturally; the hips andshould- ers sink down, and there is no sup- port for the small of the back and the neck. Hence backache and stiff neck which are often mistakenlyattributed to other causes. In order to lie on sucha bedscfring the 'body must al- ways be under tension—there cannot be complete relaxation. Nomatter in what position one may attempt to compose oneself, he must soon shift in his sleep to correct the spine-twist- ing tendency or suffer pain and stiff- - ness whichwill soon wake him up. No wonder one feels tired and unrested after a night on such a bedspring. The escape from such conditions is, or shoulcf’ be, obvious. Select a bed- spring scientifically designed to con- form to every contour of the human anatomy. Select a bedspring that literally molds itself to, and supports all parts of the body easily—a bed- spring that will not sag into great depressions but will always remain resilient. Such a bedspring is the Rome De Luxe-— designed to con- form tothe exacting standards of phy- sicians, anatomists and hygienists. Examine the Rome De Luxe at your dealer’s.

Special Correspondence of The Star. DUBLIN, Ireland, February 13.—The Irish business man today is in much the position of a gentleman who, hav- ing outdistanced an angry bull in one fleld sces another steer, whose. inten- tions .he cannot make out, between him and the open road. He Is glad that the chase by bull No. 1 is ended*and the wall of safety has becn reached, and he is optimistic, if not cheerful, about his prospects with bull No. 2. * The industrial and trading Mterests of Ireland haveust emerged from a disquieting period. During “the trou- :ble” they were harassed by restricled .| buying, imperfect transport and the multitudinous oWstacles to commerce in & warring land. Now that the country is making its first try at self-government, business is reliéved of one burden, but there still rematns the uncertainty as to whether the political experiment will succeed in checking disorder and working out satisfactory _financial policies. Beyond that, and further complicating the situation, is the question of whether labor will be a help or a hindrance in the economic reconstruction of the country. Irish business men are hopeful and desperately loyal to the Free State. About that latter statement there can be no doubt. The elderly managing ditectors who settle world affairs nightly in the Kildare Street Club are for Arthur Grifith and Michael Col- lins to a man, aithough before the treaty to vote anything but unionist ; marked a member for ostracism. The small Irish manufacturer and mer- chant cannot outdo ghe Kildare Street- ers in sincere loyalty to the new regime. + Grifith Makes Strong Appeal. Griffith appeals strongly to b ness. He is set down as a “safe man, 8 man who can be trusted not to {tamper with the social and industri systems to the hurt of the for- tunately placed. His radicalism has confined {tself to politics. But far jabove any personal considerations, the unionist business _interests of south Ireland are for the free state because they realize they are going to have to live under its rule, and to be hostile would be hazardous. As for the other element, the nationalist business men, they are for home rule ecause a republic is impossible of ttainment and they want the matter settled as quickiy as possible. Opinions on the economic conse- quences of independence vary with the individual expressing them, and are dictated largely by his desires. Sir James Percy, for instance, the proprictor of the Irish Builder and Engineer, Motor News and the Irish Motorcyclist, and largely interested in_diverss irish enterprises, says: “Ireland will blossom like the rose now that the trouble is over and we will have our own government.” He was a unionist and received his title for a successful recruiting mis- sion conducted in Ireland for the Brit- ish navy during the w Prof. ‘'W. A. 8. Hewins of Trinity College, an economist, on the other bend, sees breakers ahead. as witness: Must Meet New Conditions. ‘There has been so much senti- mental talk about the Irish agre ment that the business aspects are a most entirely ignored. But banks, i surance companies, industrial com- panles, agricultural, railway and ship- ping interests will be obliged to make new arrangements to meet the new conditions. At present they do not seem to realize that the economic unity of the United Kingdom is about to be broken up, and the work of gen- erations of statesmanship undone. The professor goes on, in an article appearing in the Irish Times, to de- cribe the numerous functions the free state will take over from the crown government. Thus, he says: “The free state will be able to make its own commercial treaties, ir- respective of Great Britain. ® ¢ © The free state will have complete | control of “its trade relations, in- { ternally! with north Ireland, and ex- ternally with Great Britain and oth- Jder countri nd of navigat, +| ciuding merchant shipping. * * ¢ The free state will have complete control of direct and indirect taxa- ion. * * * The free state will have its own coinage, its own legal tender, vk |its own negotiable instruments (in- jcluding bank notes), its own stand jard of weights and measures. * * ! The free state will have its own law jas to trade marks, designs. mer- chandise marks, copyright and patent rights. Small wonder that commerce. view- ing that imposing list of government {contracts to be transferred to the free state, is uneasy. 3 Middle View Is Clted. But there is a middle view between the extreme optimism of Sir Ja XX XX 1t was given ready expression by Sir Thomas Power, head of Ireland's | largest distillery_and until recently {a director in the Bank of Ireland, the {island’s most imposing financial in- stitution. p “Ireland’s future is bright,” he told me, “No one can prophesy how long the reconstruction will take.

Business will have ad- vantages from a wise Irish govern- ment in Dublin. conditions before it quickly and read- our case to London before an often- times disinterested body.” Much the same opinion was volced by Andrew Jamieson, president of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, and by John Good, a building con- tractor, and reeently-elected presi- dent of the Federation of Building Trades Employers of Great Britain and Ireland. Both these men believe that so far as government is able to stimulate and conserve business the new order will be beneficial, chlefly because a Dublin parliament will be more so- licitous of Irish prosperity than a ‘Westminster one.

All Irishmen, in_business or out, to whom I have talked profess to be- lieve there are ponderable mineral resources in the island, and many are hopeful that important industries may be bullt up.

Outside of Belfast there is little industrial activity in Ireland. Take away the distilleries and breweries from Dublin and you have insuffi clent factories to support an American clty of 20,000. There are a few small plants ‘making biscuits, stationery, matches, toilet articles, sweets, soaps, etc. but none of them are signifi- cant. ThHere are some enthusiastic Trish- men who have ambitious schemes for industrial aggrandizement under the free state. One of these has been trying to negotiate with a represent- ative of an American steel corpora- tion for black sheets. . He would transport them to Dublin, galvanize snd corrugate them In his own works, stamp with a shamrock, or some other Irish emblem, sell part of his production in Ireland, and export his surplus to friendly Irishmen in all parts of the world. There scems small hope that Ire- land will become a great manufac- turing nation. But she may become a_ thriving agricultural nation, as Denmark is. develop industries col- lateral to her farm products, and sup- port a population double or treble her present one of four and a quar- ter millfons.
