Federal University of Commerce Needed To Give Training for Foreign Service

AuuUnt Secretary General Pan American Financial CongreM

The foreign relations of a country 'refer no longer to that nation s affairs of state. The flag will follow, henceforth, trade and social welfare work as never before. This kind of service is carried on by organizations and individuals, with or without governmental patronage, and needs a -superior and particular kind of preparation in view of the services to be undertaken. The nation’s foreign policy may be elastic, but must be in •accord with and fundamentally true to the genius and political principles of the governrtient. Training for foreign service, adequate to achieve the end in view, must be based on satisfactory courses in commercial education. 1 his type of education should be established in all cities of present potential foreign trade. It should be established with due cognizance on the part of business men of the proper emphasis to be placed upon the inherent educative vshui of certain studies, particularly for certain grades in the school of the student, and with due recognition, as well, on the part of educators, that not only is co-operation with local industrial, mercantile and manufacturing interests essential for the most efficient and least wasteful method of instruction in commercial branches, but that a readjustment of our traditional educational organization and its administration is highly desirable in order to articulate and accredit the excellent instruction that is now. being given jn extramural or nonacademic agencies as emergency preparation *for specific careers in business, domestic or foreign. I foresee, therefore, the establishment in the early future of a federal university of commerce, the natural culmination of the nation s local efforts in this field of education. I refer particularly to those courses in commerce that relate to foreign service. Providence, political wisdom, educational integrity and economy demand that we all think in that direction and work to the. establishment of such an institution, whether there hie'but one or several in the land. "7. .. '' '..... ■ Our nation must not be divided against itself in this respect. 1 do not think that we can create a unity of conception in foreign policy in separate and disparate institutions under varied control and catering to diversified local interests. Only a federal university of commerce, with proper establishment and direction, can train the young men and young women of this nation for foreign missions, with the singleness of aim and lofty vision that such a career demands today.

Taxing of Extravagant Expenditures Would Promote Productive Investment

I believe the whole theory of the tihation of incomes is wrong. In saying that, I do not mean that I would deny the weight of taxation should fall in an increasing ratio on great wealth. * Instead of taxing incomes, I believe we should tax expenditures. The income, no matter how large it may be, that is all promptly returned to reproductive investment is of the greatest value to society; its owner is only a trustee, who gives his experienced judgment to returning the income wisely to society. It is not great incomes that we should object to, but great expenditures that are made for unproductive purposes that represent lavishness and extravagance. Lavishness and extravagance are by no means confined to those who receive great incomes. Such expenditures are a double destruction; they destroy the capital so spent, robbing society of its service, and frequently they destroy the ability of the spenders to render society full service. The man who, by judgment, thrift and economy, by moderate living and modest expenditure, accumulates an income which he promptly returns to reproductive work, is rendering the highest type of service, while profligate expenditure, whoever is responsible for it, robs all men and leaves the nation poorer by its double reaction.

United States One Nation in the World That Can Bring About Permanent Peace

Upon the American people rests the responsibility and duty of leadership in the movement for permanent peace among civilized nations. It is no quixotic enterprise to whi<|h we are called. We are not meddlers in the affairs of others when we say that war must cease. The interdependence of nations, the bonds of commerce and finance, entirely aside from the dictates of common humanity, make it impossible fdr this plague of war to exist anywhqre upon the globe without seriously k affecting both our international relations and our domestic affairs. Our protest is not sentimental, although we thank God we are moved by human suffering and the waste of human life by this destroying world sickness. * _ The close of the world war 'Strikes the hour for the organization ampng civilized nations of an actual federation with the purpose of maintaining a world peace. And America is the one nation which can propose such a federation and effect its organization. The task is hopeless without us. This is because of our nonparticipation in the present struggle and because of the magnitude of the nation and its resources.—

Farm Dwellers Destined to Dominate National Life of the United States

By CARL VROOMAN.

The farmer ’is how in the saddle. There is no profession or occupation in the world which to my mind offers as many attractions as |hat of the farmer. The ti me is comi ngin thia country w hen ever y bod yw ho can ingoing to live in the coup try. We are getting all the Comforts of city life in the country now, getting**!! sorts of things that our ancestors did not have. ? Country life is becoming every year more interesting, tftore attractive,' and we are going to build up, as I firmly believe, in this country a great civilization, the dominant note of which is going to be th<J agricultural' note. I believe that the farmers, the country dwellers, of this country in the future, are going to dominate our national life, and if they to J feel sure the future of this country is assured.

Secrets of Success in Hair Dressing

The secret of success in hairdressing —lies —in the iiceoinpiishment of graceful lines, no matter by what .means. more than In any other particular. The artist in coiffures must study the head and. face of his patron and with the resources he has at hand make the contour of the head graceful from every angle of view. A 1 beautifully shaped head may look its best with the hair wrapped about it as closely as possible, so as not to interfere with its_cont6ur. Often the hairdresser succeeds best by placing the hair high, but sometimes this arrangement will not do' at all, and he must build the hair out on the crown or mass At at the nape of the neck. Nearly always waves and curls add a charm, but there are exceptions even to this rule.

The choice in fur sets for this season 1 ncrudes neckpiecesif mt muffs th familiar styles, arid many new patterns. In neckpieces especially the designs are odd and novel, including scarfs and ca pes arid? fancy coll ars. The capes are square and extend across the back, with tie ends at the front, aS a rule although there are short, full capes thnt‘cover the shoulders. Fancy collars have been developed in the shorthaired furs andllned with crepe or chiffon. Muffs are medium or small, and are usually either flat or melon shaped. But when they are made to match the .fancier neckpieces they are brought into harmony by ruffles or drapings of fur. For thesm all er neckpieces and, muffs that are made up in odd styles, hudson seal, ermine, mole, squirrel, and other smooth furs are chosen. However attractive these novelties, they are not in the running, so far as .. popularity is concerned, with scarfs and muffs of fox and other long-haired furs. These are very smart in short, broad neckpieces, with barrel-shaped muffs to match. The scarfs fasten close about the neck and protect the throat and much of the face. Nothing is better liked than a single pelt of the fox, lined with crepe and provided with fastenings that allow it to be worn either high about the neck or draped about the. shoulders. '.•> Fine furs should be selected in sim-

A coiffure whose ‘ JUlSbeen handed down through cent tiries is built on classic lines, as shown inthe accomimnylng picture. is waved for it and brought over the forehead and out on the cheek in accordance with the vogue of the hour. A small knot at the back is surrounded by short curls, and a sparkling pin emphasizes them. A narrow headband of ribbon is a requisite of this lovely style. It might be in satin or velvet in any color, or a narrow hand of gold or silver, plain or jeweled. This Is one of the coiffures which vie with others at the opera this season, where honors are noF~ searching the past for ideas and turning out coiffures in many modes.

Many Styles in Furs

pie styles with a view to long service. Scarfsof medium width and length and plain muffs never suffer by comparison with more fanciful A handsome fox set is shown in the picture having a flat scarf finished with a head and tail and a muff with a scarflike drapery. The memory of woman runneth not back to a season when this model would not have been as good style as it is today.

Large collars make the bodice so hegliaihle a nimndtv that they are useful things for furbishing up an old frock or for trimming a bodice otherwise plain and unattractive. There are also certain bib collars That - are as voluminous and as kind to a shabby bodice as the cape, and are as a rule rather more becoming than, the latter because they do not give the primly severe, long shoulder line. A pretty model in this dags has a .choker collar of black velvet ribbon knotted at the back. Around the top of this stock run two narrow plaited fillls of fine cream net. . The wide, ivory-toned, washable satin collars are still much in evidence and are cut in various shapes and sizes.

Large Collars Useful.
