‘__;__———__—w— AMERICANS SEEN AS MONEY CHASERS French Visitor Says U. S. . Civilization Produces Con- formity of Ideas. PARIS (Special) —“American clviliza- tion! One of the best French journalists, Georges Pioch, recently termed it a ‘civilization of bathrooms.’ That would not be so contemptible,” writes Fernand Corcos in Le Journal, “and we must admit that even on this field we have & great many things to learn yet. “I noticed during my stay in the United States that the controlling thought, and the permanent criterion, is the dollar. Nowhere else in the world is the principle ‘get richer’ more faith- fully observed than in the United States. The motion pictures, literature, the newspapers and the magazines praise the lives of the leaders, those who succeeded in building up their for- funes. Result: A young man inherits a few million dollars from his father; he declares that he wants to owe his for- tune to himself and so he continues to work up to the day when he grows rich by his own work. “The boxing champion, Tunney, is & man of letters, a gentleman, who regis- ters at the Sorbonne in Paris to study philosophy. That decreases his popu- Sarity considerably. What made him famous is the fact that he was able to make $2,000,000 as a boxer. “Such a deviation of admiration in| the United States has two consequences: It produces an almost absolute con- formity of views throughout the entire nation; it develops a practical bent of mind which rather disdains pure re- search, It will happen that the student studies less for the sake of knowledge and culture than to have culture be- come a means for his success. “This is the reason why the vigorous, somewhat trivial average American has a hardly dissimulated disdain for our old countries. He looks at the Italian from the point of view of the “farni- ente,” he considers a Frenchman a cynical idler; a Mediterranean, to the American mind, is in the best case a dreamer and an artist. For many Americans Europe represents a past age ©of mankind. “When the young men of the United States went into the hazards of war- fare, the easily shocked Americans were Jess afraid of battles than of the dangers of Latin immorality. More than mere differences of degree separate the youth of the United States from French youth. The romantic, but ever S0 human, love excitements of our stu- dents are unknown here. ‘In ssion_of a moral standard, which they declare is superior and, moreover, in possession of half of the world’s gold, while the American popu- lation makes up hardly 6 per cent of mankind; that means that the United States exert a tremendous influence on all European nations and that they feel a tremendous pride within themselves which one might easlly pervert into Chauvinistic ideals.” A, A Modern Railroad STAR, WASHINGTOXN, "D.~ . THURSDAY. MARCH 13,1920 Fear of Jones Law Causes Big Drop In Maryland Rum | A dearth of men willing to run rum into the police-patrolled Dis- trict is said to have sent moonshine prices tumbling in nearby Maryland. The commodity can be had in some localities for as little as $10 for 6 gallons, one of te lowest prices on record, This break in the market, accord- ing to the best information, resulted from an added risk of capture and the heavy penalty threat of the Jones law. It is reported that Maryland's liquor racketeers are wary of trans- porting their product, while the Washington clientele insists on buy- ing after delivery. HOUSE REALIGNMENT WILL COME UP SOON Whether Reapportionment Bill | Should Go to Senate or House First Is in Dispute. By the Associated Press. Congressional leaders are agreed that the bill for reapportionment of the House shall be taken up at the forth- coming extra session, but there is some dispute as to whether the House or Sen- ate shall consider it first. House leaders are expecting the Sen- ate to act on the bill, which was sent to 1t last session by the House, before it again is considered in their chamber. There is some disposition among Sen- ate leaders, however, to await first ac- tion by the House on a bill regulating its own membership. This would upset the program for the session. House leaders are determined not to organize any more committees than necessary to enact the legislation of farm relief and tariff revision speci- fied by President Hoover for the extra session. House men want the Senate to take up reapportionment and send it to the House, which could then act under a suspension of the rules without refer- ence of the measure to committee. Senator Vandenberg, Republican, Michigan, one of the sponsors of the re- apportionment «bill, withdrew it from the Senate calendar in the closing days of the last session rather than force a legislative jam, blocking all bills, but he had the promise of leaders that it would come up at the extra session.

Sunlight’s part in health is generally known. But scientists only recently have learned just why sunlight has such beneficial effects.

When a child lacks || the sun vitamin, bones fail to develop properly, ’ appetite is poor. He catches cold easily. In winter, children practically everywhere suffer from too little sunshine. 90% in north- ern cities, authorities say.
