BURTON ON THE DEBT Rep. Theodore E. Burton, of Ohio, one of the members of the allied debt commission, advances sound reason in his pronouncement against the cancellation at this time of the debts owed to the United States by Europe. Just at present the country is facing a wave oi propaganda set on foot at the bankers convention in New York recently designed to induce the Government to cancel the debts owed to the American public by Europe, a procedure which would proportionally strengthen the value of the private European obligations held by American financial institutions. Returning from a survey of the European situation, Mr. Burton sets forth succinctly the arguments against cancellation. "The debts are binding obligations, national debts, and their cancellation would throw doubt on national credit,' says Mr. Burton. This argument is one which should appeal to the sound reasoning of the very powers eager for cancellation. For the repudiation of a debt, whether with the consent of the lender or be because of sheer inability to pay, must be remembered in the future when the repudiating ::a':lon again enters the market as a borrower. Mr. Burton points out justly that the loans European countries were actually loans from the people, obtained and re-loaned by the government under laws and understandings which called for their repayment. For a succeeding American government to attempt to cancel the obligations would be a violation of the faith under which American investors originally bought the bonds. The Ohio representative won a reputation in congress for sobriety of utterance and adher
ence to fact. Therefore when he states as a fact that a cancellation of the war debts by America would lead to expansion of the military and naval establishments of other countries and thereby bring again the threat of war, this country must give the statement serious consideration. The ether reasons advanced dealing with the increase of taxation in this country, and tnc lack of indemnities to this country, are obvious ones and need no comment. The meeting of the American and British representatives late this month, at which the inter-allied debt problem will be discussed, will bo vital to the future policies of both countries. Mr. Burtons' attitude indicates that the American representatives approach the meeting in no undecided mood.
A CHANCE OF SCENE Most doctors are fond of ordering their wealthy patients to take a change of scene, and spend the winter in Florida or California or else in the Laurentian mountains in Canada. It is a method of resting mind nd body that usually works wonders, and if the pocketbook can stand it, nothing's amiss. For the majority such a change of scene is hardly possible. If we get to the state fair once a year we consider ourselves lucky. And when we do go there the hurry and bustle, the thousand and one valuable hints on business and agriculture that we gather certainly leave no ample time for a complete rest. It is a good thing to get a change of scenery once in a while, and you don't need a doctor's prescription, nor much of a bank balance, to get it. Just pack the family in the old flivver of a Sunday afternoon and scout around the county. There is a score of interesting things you'll miss if you prefer to curl up on the front room lounge for a Sunday afternoon nap. Remember the lady in the kitchen. She is entitled to have her nose away from the yard once in a while, and you don't need to think you have done full justice to her just by taking her for a ride in the auto, either. If you ever can afford it, take her for a real journey to unknown places. It will make you both broader and bigger more contented, even, when you get back home.

STICK TO YOUR LAST Asked whether he finds "that Soviet Rus
sia is on the way to economic and industrial normalization," Feodor Chaliapin, Russian basso, made a deprecatory gesture and said: "Of that I know nothing. I sing." He then gave his faith in Russian recovery on broad, artistic lines, carefully warning his hearer that his opinion did not amount to anything, and concluding with the remark that each man should stick to his business: Politics for the politicians, music for the musicians and so forth. It is always refreshing to discover a man who confesses he knows nothing much about Russia; it is an especial charm when the admission comes from a Russian; for there is a wide superstition that every Russian is passionately and morbidly attached to one form or another of the rival governmental ideas in his unhappy land. With that grand nonchalance found only in artistic minds, he, Chaliapin, says "Russia is young,' intimating that wild oats must be sown, that in time the wild young country will settle down and give the world her message. Not so frivolous as it sounds, when you examine It. From the point of view of civiliza
tion Russia is a painfully backward child, but still a child, who has been rather sadly abused
by nurses and guardians, to say nothing of policemen and soldiers and politicians. Yet
Chaliapin is right also in his position that a sing
er, who knows he possesses no political sense,
should keep aloof from the business of govern
ment, just as a statesman, with no car for music.
most certainly should not sing.
A THANKSGIVING GREETING The following Thanksgiving greeting has reached our desk. It is sent by the Bald-Headed Club of America, an organization formed three or four years ago and now with a flourishing membership. The greeting is a lengthy document and reads in part as follows: "Twenty years ago eggs were 10 cents a dozen, milk 5 cents a quart, the butcher gave away liver, the hired girl got $3 a week and did the washing and ironing, women die not powder and paint in public, play 'put and take,' shimmy or talk flapper gibberish; men then wore whiskers and boots, chewed tobacco, cussed, had their glass of beer, worked ten hours a day and never went on strike: no tips were given to waiters, there was no income tax and the hat check graft was unknown. "Now everjbody rides in automobiles or Fords, strains his neck looking at airplanes, plays the piano with his feet, goes to the movies to see a lot of sentimental slush, listens to grand opera on a radio machine, discards h s sensible woolen underwear, smokes cigarettes, drinks hair tonic, cologne and embalming fluid, seldom goes to bed the same day he gets up, sets his children a bad example, then blames them for going wrong and thinks he is having a herk of a time. ''If you think you have anything to be thankful for, we send you greetings." ... Looks as lhough the Kali mystery is about to depart to that bourne from which no traveler returneth, to keep company with the Elwell . Taylor and Charlie Ross mjsteries. No new eye-witness today. We are going to have a regular Thanksgiving this year. Four hundred thousand ukuleles have been burned in a Honolulu fire. "When you dance, forget your feet," says a dancing teacher, i'his advice is being generally followed, and feet, in many cases, are . .t being used at all. Miss Mary Hammand, an Illinois girl, is advertising for a husband. What a glorious thing it would be if her ad should bring a response from some gentleman by the name of Eggs. AS COUE MIGHT SAY Dear Roy Thursday morning we had griddle cakes; Friday evening we had corn fritters; Saturday morning we had waffles. Every day in every way we are getting batter and batter. VAN. Why ahoot your husband? Tfcey are nearly all alike. Well, well, well! Here we are againl The poor boob Americans are getting theira right off the griddle once more. But not so hard this time. "Americans lack in polish, but they more than make it up in vim," says Madame Georgette Le BlancMaeterlinck in an interview. "They are crude, perhaps, but does that matter? Perhaps it even helps."
We thank you, Georgette, for them kind words. You who have been enjoying our hospitality for some time should know. We are glad to hear that you are going to settle down in our country for good, and iu our crude and unpolished way, we welcome you. You know. Georgette, it it great to be crude, like we are. And the nnder of it that we have learned most of it from Euran-

A Good Approach As in golf, so in business, the good results of long, vigorous field shots may be lost by a poor approach. Your proposition has merit. You believe in it. An earnest, straightforward telephone talk will put it through. It is not always necessary, and sometimes it is not good policy, to disturb a busy man of affairs by a visit in person. But if you go directly to the heart of the matter in a brief talk over the Long Distance telephone you can gfct favorable attention and, more likely than not, a favorable decision.

Most motorists don't pay any attention to the oil that goes into their crank-case. They buy it when they stop for gasoline There are lots of good oils and lots of oils' that are not so good. You probably couldn't tell a good brand from a poor one Few people can. Your only safeguard is to place your confidence in a refiner with a reputation for producing good lubricating oils. Marland is that kind of a refiner. Marland Oil is produced from fine selected crude. Every process from the crude to the finished lubricant occurs in the Marland refineries under exacting supervision. Drive out of your way to get Marland Oil.
