It can be made a source of much evil.” Considering revelations recently made concerning some ‘of the activities of department of justice sleuths, such as prowling thru senators’ offices, raiding their desks, con gress might well look into what is done with the vast sums expended by Burns’ bureau before turning over to it more money to be spent at the discretion of the attor- ney general. American business in 1923 paid a net profit amounting to $1.40 for every man, woman and child in Amer according to the Sage of Phinney Ridge, who writes in to ask whom he'd apply to for his $1.40.

To be sure. It may be all right for lonely ladies of means to fall for ardent lovers but 's a limit of ardor that’s to be considered.

LETTER FROM \V RIDGE MANN April 16, 1924, Dear Folks: Seated round the dining table, we were quite a silent bunch; sit- ting, lazy, scarcely able properly to chew our lunch. Some ono thought of an excuse to wake us up with quite a shock—saying, “In the Spring we used to lightly turn to thoughts of Bock!" Right away we grew harmonie, recollections taking wing—bring ing back the favored tonic of the anti ring. We grew festive, willy-nilly, talking of the ye ar, when the picture of a billy used to tell us “Spring is here “Happy days” we often think them, when our recollections roam. “Bock for two!" We liked to drink them, cool and brown beneath the’foam! Cedar River lacks its powers, Coca Cola seems to fall— stacked against the olden hours, with a hoof upon the rail! Recollection has a magic which St uses on the Past, casting out the grim and tragic, letting only brightness last. Aching hearts— the years have healed them; Time has buried grief and care, Olden days—it sight revealed them, we would see the darkness there! So with days of open boozing—even with the sight we lack, scarce a man, if left the choosing, truly wants to bring them back, We are better off without them—days of spree and bock and bar; still, we like to talk about them—that's the kind of nuts we are! | “You'll Have to Indict Me” HOW MUCH YOu PAY FOR \ INDICT, ME!

BY ALBERT APPLE I’ OUR doughboys could spend their vacations in France this year, they certainly wouldn't know the place. The devastated regions in the war zone have been rebuilt to an amazing extent The trenches that stretched from Switzerland to the ! have been nine-tenths filled in is of the barbed wire has been coiled and moved. Over 740,000 French dwellings and agricultural buildings were completely destroyed or severely damaged during the war. More than 600,000 have been rebuilt. | When the German invasion started, the farms in the war zone of northern France had nearly two and a half million cattle, horses, mules, donkeys, sheep, goats and pigs. The same region today has over one and one-half millions And more than nine-tenths of destroyed factories have been rebuilt. Railroad mileage is virtually restored to norm: T oe @ [Shas ite is also making rapid strides at regaining her in- dustrial strength as it existed before the war. ; Last year she mined almost as much coal as in 1913, afrom mines in the northern section. This a remarkable comeback, for systematic devastation of mines reduced her coal productive capacity by half. Some expefts figured it would take 20 years to pump the water out and otherwise repair. France in 1923 mined more iron ore. produced about as }much pig iron and turned out more steel than in 1913. | Her freight traffic in 1923 was a bit larger than in 1913. Similarly, her auto exports gained a half in volume. Her! general export trade jumped about 22 million metric tons jin 1913 to nearly 25 millions in 1923, tho imports corre-| |spondingly increased from about 44 million tons to 54 millions.
