U. S. Loans to Allies Not Group Affairs
Great Britain's $4,135,000,000 war debt to the United States bears no relation to war loans mada by this government and Great Britain to other governments, or to issues arising over reparations payments- This is the statement of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon." The debt, the secretary declared recently, is entirely an American-British transaction, his statement being regarded with significance, coming as the British debt commission is about to irrive here to discuss terms of settlement. Secretary Mellon made his statement because 3f the numerous inquiries regarding the status )f foreign debts. "Especial attention," said the secretary, has been directed to this $4,135,000,000 indebtedness
of the British government. It has been said this
liability was not incurred for the British govern
ment, but for the other allies,-and that the United
States, in making the original arrangements, had : insisted in substance that, though the other allies were to use the money borrowed, it was only on British security that the United States was prepared to lend it. It is apparent from the inquiries which have reached the treasury department that it is supposed that this, in substance, is the explanation of the existing indebtedness of Great Britain. "In answer to these obligations it should be said that the obligations of foreign governments, in question, had their origin almost entirely in
purchases made in the United States and the ad
vances by the United States government were
for the purpose of covering payments for those
purchases by the allies.
"The statement that the United States government virtually insisted upon a guarantee by the British government of amounts advanced to the Other allies is evidently based upon a misap
prehension. Instead of insisting upon a guaran
tee or any transaction of that nature, the United
States government took the position that it would make advances to each government to cover the purchases made by that government and would aot require any government to give obligations
for advances made to cover the purchases of any
other government. Thus the advances to the British government, evidenced by its obligations.
were made to cover its own purchases, and ad
vances were made to the other allies to cover
their purchases."

WITHOUT MONEY AND WITHOUT
PRICE" In the writing of these Talks from year to year I have carefully refrained from discussing any topic that could be construed as suggestive of a mere money success. Rather have I aimed to convey the idea that character is above money and that happiness is a thing apart from the .accumulation of lands or bonds, ' Also, I have tried to bring out my belief that the successful character cannot help but make sufficient money to care for his needs and to supply many of the worthwhile pleasures that money is able to bring. ------ But the mere making and hoarding of money is of itself so useless and selfish that I feel this small space too precious to use for that end. Outside one of my office windows stands an old four-story home. About it tower great businesses which minister to the needs of thousands of shoppers. Next to this home is an old stable, which stands opposite one of the greatest department stores in America. On another Bide is a vacant lot. For years it was used as a dog yard. It is worth nearly $2,000,000. The blinds of this home are almost always closed. The master of the great fortune of which this particular parcel is but a small part, is dead. Two or three old maiden ladies occupy this place. There are no improvements in the house not even electricity. And yet the wealth of this family amounts to more than $100,000,000! Time and again, this particular corner has been sought but the family will not sell. Their money motto seems to be: "We buy, but we never sell." And thus it has been for more than a hundred years, I am told. Meanwhile the world grows up about their properties. They sit tight. In time, however, this monied estate will melt back into the hands cf the many though not for years and years. But just consider what character dees. It keeps giving all the time. It never hoards. Take Jesus, for instance. He was born in a manger with the cattle chewing their cuds within sound of His ear. And even His garments they cast lots for preceding the crucifying cf His body. Not . a thing of material wealth did He leave. But He was the richest in character of any man who ver lived. You cannot think of Him without being thrilled by the beauty of the life He lived, the service He rendered, and the teachings which He passed on as a heritage for all mankind. . , I want these little daily Talks to teach beauty of living and to inspire character success. All the rest worth while must, as a natural result, follow.

Roof Dwellings' in New York Only few houses built on top of skyscrapers despite many advantages.
By FREDERICK J. HASKIX WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 29. The ideal place to live in New York is on a roof, it is said. On the roof of a tall building, particularly, the air is marvelously fresh and clear, the view is unusually charming, and it is possible to achieve a degree of quiet and privacy unobtainable anywhere else in the city. As the site for a summer home it excels the finest suburb, for it is cool and mosquitoless and can be reached without the daily tedium of commuting. Yet roof-dwelling is stil comparatively rare there. Except for a few prosperous business men who can afford expensive novelties, and some lucky janitors who are provided with living quarters attached to pent-houses on the top of apartment houses and office buildings. New Yorkers for the most part cling to the old-fashioned idea that a roof, having been designed as a protective lid, and that only, should not suddenly be called upon to fulfill the duties of a floor.
This view is held with particular firmness, for some mysterious reason,
by the city'3 real estate owners, who
stubbornly resist the idea, long smco
urged upon them, of building bunga-

One gent in matrimonial advertisement says he wants to marry "an actress or a lady." My word! Two princesses of Russia are advertising for husbands who must be ' "hone.' t but rich." Apparently there are still optimists in Russia.
We are glad the theatrical season is open and that the dramatic critics can

: We have spoken about this matter j several times before. The burglars and holdup men have been heard to express general dissatisfaction with the way things are being run, and they are anxious for a more eq;iitable distribution of territory and less cutthroat competition. - Residential burglary is being consid?red for new legislation. The working rules for second-hand men are hopelessly muddled. For instance, no two burglars should be allowed to enter the same house on the same night. It only means a dupli cation of effort and needless loss of sleep, oa the part of innocent householders. :. v Moreover,, a'; '.man who ' has been robbed during a night has not had opportunity to lay in any fresh valuables for the second visitor. The situation is thu3 a disappointment all the way around. Similarly, when two holdup men approach the same victim from opposite
' directions they should match coins to
see who is to have the pleasure of going through his pockets. The coin
" MAJ. DAVID A. REED Maj. David A. Reed, recently appointed senator to fill the .vacancy caused by the death of Senator Crow of Pennsylvania, is the first World war vet
eran to enter the upper house of congress. He is also the second youngest member. He is 41. Senator
Harrison of Mississippi is a year younger. Major Reed was one of the students at the officers training camp at Plattsburg and at the end of his training course was commissioned a major of field artillery and assigned
to the Three Hundred and Eleventh
field artillery. The regiment was composed mainly of boys from his home state. The major saw plenty of action at Verdun and during the Meuse-Ar-gonne drive. Major Reed's outdoor life fitted him
for the rigors of the days in trance. He has spent much time in the open in the west and is known as an expert rifle shot. The new senator is married and has two children, David Jr. and Rosamond. The major's father is Judge James H. Reed of Pittsburgh, also a prominent Republican. The name of Judge Reed was mentioned in connection with the choice of a successor to Philander Knox when that senator died, but Governor Sproul named Crow.
After Dinner Stories A good Coue story has been told: A certain man suffered acutely from bow legs. He was advised by a. friend to repeat the Coue formula every night thirty times: "Every dy and ia every way my legs are getting straighter and straighter." Unfortunately he miscalculated the number and repeated the magic words sixty times every night. As a result he is now knockkneed. London Morning Post

TROUELE SHOOTER My Lizzie used to frolic around our native grad as though it had the colic or something just as bad. Its wheels would halt and stumble, its cylinders would miss, its works would groan and grumble and pop and shriek and hiss.
I took Liz to the tinner to see what he
could do; he said, "She'll be a winner,
you bet, when I get through. With
crowbar and with spanner her troubles
I'll correct; she'll run in queenlv man
ner, thereafter, I expect." He made his best endeavor, he took Liz all apart, and she was worse than ever, which
nearly broke my heart. And in the sultry summer when all the skies were blue, I took Liz to the plumber to see wht he could do. "When I have done some plumbing," he said, "around this bus, you'll see her up and coming till
all the speed cops cuss."- The plumber man was clever, no doubt he ba.d some skill ; but Liz was worse than ever when I had paid the bill. Then, in a sort of
panic, I said "This thing must cease
I'll seek a true mechanic, all black with
auto grease. A man who fixes autos
and nothing else beside, whose hat is
full of mottoes, whose skill is true and
tried." He did some trouble shooting
as skillful as could be, and Liz and I
went scooting across the sunlit lea.

lows on the roofs of -apartment houses, office buildings and private houses. Because of its extreme narrowness, there is a woeful lack of residential
space in the lower part of Manhattan although there is any amount of it going to waste up on the roofs. With millions of square feet ready to be developed in this manner, there are probably not more than 50 roof dwellings in the entire city. One of the most interesting of these is the home of Henry L. Doherty, well known JCew York banker, on top of the Battery Park Building, where the outlook is magnificent. On the one hand, lies the harbor, with its quiet islands and strange, bustling craft. And on the other hand, there is the New York skyline that unparalleled stretch of giant office buildings which, lighted up in the night time, suggest wierd, jewel-studded cliffs. Roof Tennis Court For Recreation. Mr. Doherty not only has a comfortable, spacious apartment on this novel site, but a tennis court and a curious, painted garden as well. He prefers painteO gardens to real ones, because they do not harbor flies and mosquitoes. Sitting on his back porch
these summer evenings, he looks out
upon a picturesque rural landscape
with rolling hills and green fertile
valleys, a mountain top or two in the
distance and in the foreground a love
ly garden with trellises of climbing
roses and lily pools set here and there
on a green lawn or between flower
beds. Everything is painted.
Mv idea is to make this place a
real health resort," explains Mr. Doh
erty, "one that I can reach in a few
minutes walk from my office. The
principal thing is to get lots of good
sweet air. I never could see why
people want to go to places in search
of fresh air, and then screen them
selves away from it. I haven t a screen in my place and I don't want
any. Neither do I want any mosqui
toes or flies. So 1 have the plants and evergreens which are out on this place in winter taken away in summer, and, as I don't want it to look too plain
and bare, I have th walls and floor
painted to give anjeffect of foliage,
pools and flowers.
"If New Yorkers would only realize how fine it Is up on the roofs, more
of them certainly would build roof gardens and playgrounds," he continued. It seems amazing though that when by simply taking an elevator to the roof they could get glorious frash
breezes and air as sweet as m the country they continue to ignore these possibilities and spend their time down at the ground level, or traveling to and from summer resorts. "The average New York suburbanite travels a long distance from his office to his country home and gets there just about in time to go inside to get away from mosquitoes. Or perhaps he has his veranda screened and sits
outside, deluding himself that he's getting just as much benefit as if he were really out in the open. Think of the time he passes in the cars and the struggling crowds he encounters every day! If he only would realize what fine places could be built up on the roofs he could have infinitely more

The problem is to remove the pressure, and etill have the match remain in its horizontal position. The diagram explains the secret of the trick.

"All this life in the open air makes
for efficiency. I'm not the kind of
man to take long vacations, and as
for commuting well, I wouldn't do it.
I believe if more New Yorkers would
use their roofs for health resorts
they'd find they would gain in health, add to their efficiency and continue to
be efficient longer. A Yacht-like Dwelling On Top of Roof.
Another picturesque roof dwelling belongs to a well known New York
yachtsman, who years ago decided
that he would like to live on top of
the Berkeley Arcade Building in the midst of his clubs and the theatre district. A satisfactory long term
lease for a certain portion of the roof
was arranged, with adequate provis
ion for renewal and also for elevator service and heat. Then an architect was called to the roof and requested
to design an appropriate bungalow.
The result 13 well worth .seeing.
The exterior walls of the place are of brick and hollow tile covered with a rough stucco; the base, window sills
and chimneys being of a dark, red
brick. The roof is covered with
Spanish roofing tile, and small domi noes are build into the roof with ven
