THE AUTO TRADE. The automobile trade is a. fair index of the tate of prosperity. Increased sales of motor ars prove that the buying power of the people

s increasing. A manufacturer of a well known

txpensive car says his production this year will

stupendous task of debt reduction, without increased taxation. It is the application of the very old truth that to have more you must spend less.

A HELPFUL SIGN. The budget presented to trie British house

bf commons by the chancellor of the exchequer

has a direct interest for this country inasmuch

ks a considerable problem of that budget is caring for the American debt.

Britain's total indebtedness amounts to $55,-

C00,000.000, of which slightly more than $20,POO.000,000 is owed to the United States. Shift-

Erg exchange has helped to diminish the total.

bet, something has been accomplished in other

directions so that already in the -course of three years the British treasury has been able to ap

ply $1,370,000,000 to reducing the national debt, While this amount seems inconsiderable compared to the total, yet it represents, so far, legitimate saving. For example, during the past

year while the revenue had been $455,000,000

less than estimated expenditures were held to $225,000,000 less than actual receipts, for application on debt reduction.

The interest on the United States debt fall

ing due this year amounts to $125,000,000, which the chancellor says Britain will pay without question, thus maintaining the loan on its busi

ness basis. Economies already effected and in anticipation, as the result of the Geddes report, have induced the chancellor to lighten taxation slightly fox the coming year, and he proposes a suspension of debt paying, except for interest, to give the public time to recover itself in some measure from recent burdens. The reducton of the income tax is important, but without doubt, the lightening of the duty on tea, coffee, cocoa and chickory is the measure which will be most highly appreciated by the greatest number. It is apparent that the government hopes for much from the new economies and anticipates at the end of the year a resumption of the

A SUMMERTIME DANGER. With the approach of the summer campaign and vacation season, it is timely that health officials are ssuing warnings . regarding the danger which may be met in the use of water for drinking and cooking purposes, which is found in springs or streams in camp or other places. Frequent tests of drinking water in cities and towns where water systems are maintained have practically eliminated any danger of typhoid fever from this source, but this cannot be said of the water that is commonly found in camping places, especially if these places are, used infrequently, and Care has not been taken to examine the water supply. Water found in summer camps may be clear

as crystal, yet it may contain germs which may have serious effects upon the person drinking it. Springs which appear to have their origin in safe places may be infected with germs from a ao source that is not easily discovered. Tourists and others who yield to the temptation to drink from a spring that appears to be entirely safe may take into their systems the germs of typhoid fever, thereby running the risk of long illness or possible fatal results. It is better to be thirsty for a half hour longer until an approved source of drinking water may be reached. It is wise not to take chances on contracting dangerous diseases when the exercises of judgment in keeping with medical knowledge may save lives, or at least avoid serious illness.

PROGRESS IN RUSSIA. That Moscow is to have sewerage pipes installed this year for all its homes, instead of only one-third as at present, is of greater lasting significance than a treaty between the soviet and any commercial power. Treaties are the instruments of men and

may be modified or abrogated as expediency suggests. Sewers are the instruments of society and people who adopt them do not yield them again easily and have, in fact, captured one more element of what is genune civlization. The critical American soldier in France found nothing so worthy of his satiric comment as the lack of plumbing; it is undoubtedly true that the happiness and health of the great mass of people living in Europe are grievously impaired by deficient methods of living. Moscow may not possess the ideal form of government but a sewer is a great step toward an ideal form of living. Perhaps when all peoples everywhere have been granted the means of normal, healthy homes much of that discontent which too often resolves itself into chimerical projects of government will be removed.

It has long been our ambition to start, in this column, a department of interest to women touching upon beauty and domestic science. We nave secured the services as editor of this department one who is not only an expert housekeeper but a great beauty as well. It took us nearly nine years of constant searching to find this combination. We will be t;lad to receive from our women readers contributions to this department. Our expert gives the following advice today: How To Remove Freckle From Nose Hold nose in boiling water tor ten minutes. When skin has peeled off. freckle will be gone.
