LOVE doughboys on their way home HAS ITS I I from the Rhine, about 200 are bringing LAUGH back foreign wives—mostly German wives. > #And yet less than five years ago, it was part of every American’s religion to hate the Germans as Ire would a rattlesnake. The less we know of people the more we hate them. The small boy in a country town automatically stacks up his neighborhood this wise: 1. Folks he grew up among are his equals. 2. Similar families, but from another section of the United States are not quite so good. * 3. English-speaking folks from overseas rate third. lie can still understand their lingo. 4. All “wops,” “dagos,” and the like are distinctly to be treated as inferiors. 5. The Chinese laundryman (probably one of the most human and lovable of all the town’s inhabitants, once you come to know him) is an object of open contempt, the butt of cruel jokes. He is the least understood. Now there’s nothing wrong with our doughboys marrying German girls. It’s the most natural thing in the world. They have discovered a great human secret, as old as time, yet still brand-new. They have opened a book, the leaves of which our Henry Cabot Lodges and Hiram Johnsons have never yet cut. This secret is that hatred of foreigners is just sheer ignorance. Some of our near statesmen would have America isolate herself; hold aloof from the rest of the world. Isolation makes for misunderstandings and intolerance. These make for war. To know thy neighbor well is to love him. HOW ££"T"F - ve b rea k faith with those who die, CAN THEY I We shall not sleep, ’though poppies grow SLEEP? X In Flanders’ fields.” Up from vour graves, ye millions of lost heroes! Bare your bleeding wounds! Show civilization your ghastly faces! Speak to the children of God of the Brotherhood of Man for which ye died! For, the faith is broken! Greece mobilizes to set ablaze the Balkans. Turkey smells human blood and draws her sword against all Christendom. France arms to raid Germany. Great Britain and great America retire to “splendid isolation” that the rivers of human blood may flood anew. Come forth! The fame of your “eternal camping ground” is that of brutal waste. Verdun, a comedy. Ypres, a farce. Ye of the Argonne and Chateau Thierry but negligent items of a mockery, and civilization no longer heeds the weeping of your widows, mothers and orphans. Up! Fall in! Forward, ye mighty armies of skeletons! Again, greed, selfishness, oppression, racial hatred triumph over mankind, and men of flesh fail to beat them down. In God’s name, sleep not longer! BANKING Tk "YEARLY 376 billion dollars’ worth of business AND \ was transacted in America last year by bank PRICES X i checks. Tt was a drop of 76 billions from the record clearings of 1920. The drop is parity a reflection of lower prices, a dollar now representing more actual physical volume of business than during the boom. Back in 1913, a normal year, bank clearings totaled only about 170 billion dollars. You’ll note that clearings last year were 115 per cent higher than 1913. Logically, may that not represent the real increase in cost of living? Out of every SIOO of bank checks used in America last year. SSB went through the New York City clearing house. The clearings through New York City totaled nearly 218 billion dollars, or about half of our entire national wealth. Is it any wonder New Yorkers are money-mad?

He predicts prosecution of at least one wholesaler. And still some economists believe that the cost of living depends on the currency situation, especially supply of gold.

Public Opinion

For Local Government To th Editor of The Tintei The legislature should ask the people who are affected in their individual and local unit of least dimension, what laws they think need amendment and repeal. "Governments derive their Just powers from the consent of the governed.” Concentration of power is neither a safe nor a sound policy of Government. Tour Interest and mine and the Interest of the most humble citizen of each of the fifty, thousand or million of the largest corporate body of citizens of the country or school district and all local self Government should be guaranteed to the people to control it as a distinct body. Gre>* concentration of power Is what is menacing civilization right now. There is no country now that is able to feed, clothe, equip and maintain an army of soldiers In war on account of the abuse or over estimate of strength and Importance and power. The small units of the school district are as contented and happy and independent as the large, and engender lees jealousy. It Is the little things that grow to greatness. The Mg ones get n---wieldly. JOHN G. HOLT. The World’s Illness To the Editor of The Time* When a physician is called to attend & aick person he first makes an examination of hU patient to determine hia or her ailment. After he learns the ailment, lie prescribes. Nations, like individuals, are sometimes tossing on a bed of affliction. Gnat so is Europe as well as the Halted States. First I will state the ailment, then the remedy. The ailment was brought on by a few selfish Senators at Washington while Presi-

dent was in Europe trying to adjust the situation that the world was left in after the World War. to bring peace to the world. That "Round Robin” that was formed through jealousy and hatred against President Wilson began to undermine the most vital parts of not just United States, but of the whole world and to complete their work of destruction they went about with their false alarm until they achieved a victory at the polls. Since their victory the whole world has been stunned, shaking and reeling like one In the arms of death. Now for the remedy: Let United States enter into the League of Nations and quit sitting under her own fig tree while the whole world is pleading for her to come and lead them, and only then will the world get back Into the channel of peace and prosperity.

Julias Barnes Declares Europe Is on Upgrade Despite Discouraging Aspect of Affairs on Surface

By JULIUS BARNES President, Chamber of Commerce of United States. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—A survey of old world conditions today presents to the superficial observer many discouraging aspects. It is on the basis of these depressing surface observations that we find

the basis of gloomy prophecies. But there Is possible a sounder, more searching analysis, from which can be drawn a more wholesome and a happier expectation for the future of Europe. Pessimistic View A pessimist would make this resume of Europe:

BARNES

The Turk, traditional barbarian, is back in Europe, arrogant and defiant, claiming the right to close by fortifications the open seaway of the Dardanelles. Greece, stripped of its newly acquired expansion, visits its wrath with middle-age savagery upon its luckless public officials. The Balkan States, ancient cradle of world wars, fluctuate between unsound social experiments and tempests of popular passion against ministries.

When did Jews first settle in the United Sjates? A few Jewish individuals settled in Maryland about 1650, but the records of the Jewish community in the United States may be said to date from 1654, when a company of Jews from Brazil or the West Indies attempted to land at New Amsterdam. The persistent opposition of the Governor, Peter Stuyvesant, delayed them for nearly a year, but on April

WIIAT’S going to come of the new turmoil in Europe? Few men are so well qualified to analyze conditions as is Julius Barnes, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. For years, in his business as a grain exporter, Barnes has amassed information about economic and political conditions abroad. Then during the war he served as president of the United States Food Administration Grain Corporation, rendering such distinctive services that he was decorated by the governments of Belgium, France, Italy, Poland, Finland and Bulgaria. Now as president of the United States Chamber of Commerce Barnes is promoting the chamber’s project for American representation on the reparations commission. He has written the following size-up of the European situation especially for NEA Sendee and the Indianapolis Times.

Rusla makes boasts of armed force with its mythical armies, while its millions of people prepare for anew famine. Austria, content as the international mendicant, awaits the outcome of financial and economic administrations by more capable peoples. Germany, a formerly great and competent people, brought almost to a state of national beggary. Italy, boasting since Garibaldi a constitution under which the League of Italian States has grown into a great nation, sees today the seizure of power by the Fascistl without const! .utlonal warrant.

"The more sensitive the soul the more highly attuned the heart to hearts —the greater the payment exacted. "But this Is the law of balance. The artist nature Is recompensed for its terrible capacity to suffer by an Intensified capacity to enjoy esthetically, to appreciate beauty."

A phenomenon extremely common in ertain localities and due to conditions existing in the atmosphere. As a result of deviation of the rays of light caused by refraction and reflection, objects seen with tne eye appear in unusual positions and often multiplied or Inverted. The desert mirages such ns those In Arizona, are a diminution of the density of the air near the surface of the earth, produced by the radiation of heat from the earth, the denser stratum thus being placed over instead of (as is usually the case) under the rarer or. lighter air. Now rays of light from a distant object, situated in the denser region, coming in a direction nearly parallel to the earth’s surface, meet, the rarer medium at a very obtuse angle, and instead of passing through ihe heavier stratum are reflected back to the dense medium, the common sui'face of the two media acting as a mirror.

Alien Property Question Is Big One for Congress BY LEO R. SACK WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—Having recalled the troops from the Rhine, Congress Is wondering what to do with alien property seized during the \yar. The House of Representatives is now wrestling with this problem while pressure upon the alien property custodian and other Ad ministration officials from those whose property la held, becomes greater constantly. Approximately $350,000,000 worth of seized property is now held. Ninety-three per cent of the trusts involved represent, funds of SIO,OOO or less. Thre is a bill pending to return immediately to original own ers all of the SIO,OOO trusts. There Is a feeling among Congressmen that all of these trusts, regardless of size, should b returned and tho office of the alien property custodian abolished.

! Keeping Watch on Rhine Cost U. S. 300 Million By LEO R. SACK WASHINGTON, Jan. 15—Keeping the watch on the Rhine has cost ,the United States aproximately $300,000,000, of which but approximately s3>,- j 000,000 has been collected from the German government, which was supposed to pay all the bills. Exact cost will not be determined, army officers say, until the troops are home and all bills have been paid in the occupied areas. Germany has been more careful of Its obligations to tho American section of the Inter-Allies Rhineland High Commission. BATHTUB AND PAVEMENT QUEER SLEEPING PLACES Pair Discovered in Rather Unusual Quarters. Selection of queer sleeping quarters is apt to get people into trouble, two men found out last night. Tom Kinney, who says he is a resident of Terre Haute, selected a bath tub In the Marietta apartments, 236 E. Vermont St., according to police. When roomers at the house discovered him asleep police were summoned. He Just went Into the apartment to get In out of the cold, and found the bath j tub a convenient place to snooze, he Is said to have told the authorities. The street In the 800 block on Indiana Ave. was selected by Jess Dow* ney, 34. a laborer, who resides somewhere on Indiana Ave., as his sleeping quarters for the night, police said. His slumbers were disturbed by policemen and he was taken to the pollco station, where he was charged with vagrancy and drunkenness. JEWELS AND CLOTHES GONE L. D Weathers reported to the po- j lice today that his home at 2540 Belle- ! fontaine St. was entered last night through a front window and $106.50 worth of Jewelry and sfik clothing taken.

Good Manners

The hostess at an “informal afternoon tea,” needless to say, is well dressed. A clinging silk gown, for Instance, is quite appropriate, f Yet the tactful hostess does not overdo matters, for her guests will eoine simply attired and it would hardly be hospitable for her to be much more elaborately clad than they.

barous atrocities shall not be enacted. Greece will resume its normal and proper place In the society of nations. The Balkan states ha.ve learned the need of economic unity. Mutual agreements facilitating the flow of transportation and the commodities of transport are reducing traditional antagonisms. Russia is able now to partake a little of the diet of national and individual respect for pledges and for private property, which, more advance I peoples learned centuries ago. Germany has so discredited the experiment and tenets of socialism that, today, the Socialistic party refuses the responsibilities of the present government. A settlement of the reparations question within the practical limits of the honest attempt of the German people to perform, would make effective the needed financial aid to France and Belgium, and would start the processes of industry In cen fral Europe. Italy has demonstrated that at least its new rulers have honesty of purpose In public service, and a tenacity of will that promises sound national progress. If France seems today to tend toward dreams of militarism, we may be suro that the day will come soon with its old true perspective of its proper place and mission. Home just and fair way will be devised to se-

cure from Germany the restitution to which France is entitled, and within the limits of Germany’s efforts in good faith to pay. Relieved of its traditional fear of unprovoked attack, and with the unrivaled willingness of its people at home to work to save, France will vindicate, in national progress, our confidence and trust. Great Britain, taxing its people at a rate which can be laid indeed on few peoples without rebellion, is working its way slowly back to ite frrmer dominant position in world trade and finance. A measure of its recovery is the steady march to gold parity of the pound sterling. Fever of War Gone Summarizing Europe as a whole, the fever of war is well out of the blood of Its peoples. There Is clear Indication of the almost universal desire to work and to produce. Those countries that have developed sound financial policies and honest practices, like any thrifty individual. are working their way back In normal and healthy life. Their progress is shown by the gold parity of their currencies, spelling ability to trade overseas, to '■xehangc commodities, to supply the wants of their people and to sell the products of their own industries.

New Machine Tests Quality of Voice of Aspiring Prima Donnas

Rv VFA Sendee lOWA CITY, lowa, Jan. 15.—Long’ terms of instruction under highly paid tutors, long stays In European centers of musical learning, tedious hours in studio practice—then dismal failure as a musician or singer, all because the student didn't have the necessary talent in the first place. That's the life history of hundreds who aspire to succeed Paderewski. Heifetz or Galli-Curcl. But now science comes forward with the assertion it can nip such blasted careers at the outset. Dr. Carl E. Seashore, dean of the graduate college and professor of psychology In the University of lowa, says he's devised tests which will tell fond parents right off the reel whether their young hopefuls have musical talent.

The Stamp of Approval

DEFINITION The practice of Chiropractic consists of the adjustment, with the hands, of the movable segments of the spinal column to normal position for the purpose of removing the cause of the disease.

Whatever your ailment or trouble may be there is a fundamental CAUSE. It may seem unreasonable to you, but it is more than probable that the cause will be found in the verv line shaft of your anatomy, ‘‘vour backbone.” If so, CHIROPRACTOR SPINAL ADJUSTMENTS will remove the CAUSE and you will be one more satisfied patient added to the long list who have already endorsed this worthy Health Science. You are vitally interested in your health. Chiropractic spinal adjustments are essential to good health. Delay is at your own expense, both in money and in health.

Not thousands, merely, but millions of people have placed their stamp of approval upon the Science of CHIROPRACTIC. The reason for this is that they have gone here and there and found no relief and finally discovered that the road to Health was by having the CAUSE of their disease removed through CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL ADJUSTMENTS. A few months ago hundreds of newspapers told their readers about the Miriam Rubin ease of “talking sickness” at Waukegan, 111., which created national attention. This case proved to be phenomenal, but the CHIROPRACTOR became the hero who saved this little human life by employing exactly the same method practiced by thousands of CHIROPRACTORS.

talent testing machine—he calls It a musical touch audiometer. The machine is actually in use today in tho university psychological laboratories. Many parents have brought their young hopefuls to be tested, for Seashore applies the test free. It take3 from two hours to two or three days, depending on the importance of the case and seriousness of the one who takes it."The theory of these tests is that musical ability Is inborn,” Seashore says, "and that no amount of training can make a musician of one who does not have this innate talent. “The tests are valuable not only in that they can save thousands of dollars spent in educating students who never can be but also in that they can bring to light hidden musical talent in those who never suspected they possessed it.”
