thing to do with the maintenance of military strength. When some of them had been removed it was easy to get an agreement for the reduction of navies. ' v Prance thinks that the German menace warrants her in keeping a large army, and states bordering on Kussia feel that they must have a sutticient force for defense against the Bolsheviki. But it appears that they have all been wrong, for does not the super-state the League of Nations say that it is "demographic data" that must determinethe size or armies?
BUILDING BOOM STARTS. .1 From all parts of the country come reports of the recovery of building and plant construction, which is America's key industry. The building program which has been delayed since the war period involves from 15 to 20 billions of dollars. "Our activities and resources," says one of the great contractors of the United States, "are certain to be unlocked by a resumption of construction everywhere." Every form of industry is involved in the construction plans, approximately nine-tenths of all the iron, copper and zinc and 95 per cent of all the lead produced in the country are consumed in construction. Under normal conditions it absorbs about half the country's annual accumulation of capital and at least three-fifths of the proceeds from new financing. The same authority says that through the indictment of a few of its members, having New York City in mind, the whole country stands indicted, and yet, until it resumes its fruitful functions, the very main-spring of this country's prosperity is broken. If one glances about the region nowadays, he will discover how true is this analysis of conditions. Already the signs of a building boom are apparent and within the next year it is believed hundreds of thousands of dollars will be invested in construction enterprises.
UNCOVERS NEW TRAIL. The league of Nations is hot on the trail of "demographic data." When it is found it is going to be "of special value in ascertaining 'the military strength of states." The Washington conference labored under the impression that

GARDENING TIME AGAIN. The incentive of war production and the urge of post-war prices alike having passed, not so much will be heard of the vacant lot gardens this spring. 'Patriotism and thrift no longer spur as once they did. Nevertheless, there will be much spading and planting in the next few weeks in soil that, before the war, was given over to weeds. A multitude learned during the vogue of the backyard garden that the effort is repaid many fold. Not a few who took to garden making for their country's sake, or for the garden's sake will sow and pluck again this year for their own sake. It is not only profitable but full of pleasure, health and recreation. Of course, all do not find joy in the home garden. But the man who loves the feel of the soil and finds philosophy in the miracle of life and growth, quickly becomes an addict. He may not talk so much about it as in recent days of enthusiasm, but will row his hoe in contemplative contentment just the same. Not all good citizens are home gardeners, but most home gardeners are good citizens. This is no bull.

COUNTRY NEEDS HOOVER. However gratified the people of California might be should they be able to induce Secretary Hoover to run for the United States senate, the people of the rest of the country could not help a feeling of deep disappointment. In his present place as head of the department of commerce, Mr. Hoover is giving the United States a rare example of governmental efficiency. For the first time since the department of commerce was instituted a general sense of its usefulness is apparent among business men. So marked,' indeed, is the appreciation of Secretary Hoover's effectiveness as a co-efficient of American business enterprise that many people already perceive a desire in themselves to promote in due time to an even higher place. In the meantime-they earnestly desire to retain his unusual abilities and vision in the position where he now serves.

INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE CHICAGO, April Stockmen and grain farmers are worth $1.01(5.000,000 more than they were ninety days ago as a result of the upturn 1n market values. This was the cheering statement of President E. C. Erown, of the National Live Stock Exchange. He lias Just returned from a trip into Iowa and Nebraska, where he said a new feeling of confidence prevails. .An advance of $4.50 per hundred pounds in the hog market since the last week In December, an upturn of $1 on cattle during the same period and the addition of $2.23 in ninety days to the value of sheep have increased the value of live stock in farmers' hands by $351,000,000. Another $4Su,i0,000 was added to their wealth through an advance of forty cents on wheat, twenty-fi've cents on corn, and twenty cents on oats, it was stated. The value of a dollar, it was pointed out, is 50 per cent greater than in 1920, so that an advance of $1,048,000,000 at this time really amounts to $1,569,000,000 In postwar terms. Mr. Brown predicted that the recent Increases only foreshadow further gains and gave the established marketing systems credit for pulling the farmer out of what at one time seemed to be almost a hopeless depression due to the economic upheavel following the world war.

Jook at r.iyself in the mirror. I had always been small for my ape. ' Most of v.y clothes had been made i to order. But occasionally when I ; saw a'dres3 that I admired in a shop window I would po in and buy ; it. The last time I bought a dress the salesgirl had looked at me and asked the Btock girl to bring her a "size sixteen." j i It had fitted exactly. I i I wondered anxiously if I l ad rrown since then but concluded I had not. I turned away from the I mirror, satisfied. I didn't know I hat "highest wages and long seaj son" might mean but it sounded i better than the other advertisements. The word "model" itself did not have a very respectable sound but I reminded myself that I was a poor girl now and could not afford to be fussy about mere tags. I had seen models in shops and it eeemed easy enou work. All they had to do was to put on beautiful clothes and walk up and down before customers, j I wondered what I would do if ! any of my former schoolmates came into the shop anJ saw me. My cheeks burned at the thought, ' but I threw up my head and determined that I would not care. You ; see, it never occurred to me that I i would have any difficulty in getting the position or that there might be other girls who wanted j it. That advertisement was aimed ! straight at me. It was a gift frcm heaven to save me from a marriage with a middle aged man. i In my excitement I forgot even my grief for my father. I telephoned the hotel clerk to get me a taxi at once and in a few minutes I was on my way with the news-

myself. Then I forgot him and began romancing. Occasionally 1 had seen young men in shops helping their sisters or mothers choose a gown. This would no doubt be a very exclusive shop and I would meet one of these young men. He. would fall in love with me in spitj of my being just a poor working girl. Of course his parents would be furiou?, but when we were married and had come back from our honeymoon, I would tell them who my father was and they would se I was not an ordinary person at all. We would be forgiven and then my husband and myself would live happily ever after. What a little snob I was! Ronald, I decided his name would be, or Reginald, perhaps. I was still dreaming my foolish little dream when the taxi stopped. I came to myself with a start and looked out. I knew very little about New York and though I had thought the taxi man gave me a very queer look when I told him the address I dismissed it as imagination. Now I understood. He threw open the door and said gruffly: "Here you r.re. Do you want me to wait for you?" I could only stare out at thu dingy building before which we had stopped. The streets were dirty anl there were bits of cotton wast littering the pavement. I could hear a muffled sound like the noiso of heavy machinery. This was no exclusive shop. It was a factory. The chauffeur was repeating hi question. "Yes No!" I said, with a look at the meter and a sudden remembrance cf my few dollars. I paid the man and started bravely up the iron stairs. Factory or no factory, I would have to go in and ask for the position! (To be continued.).
