A Moratorium

"The reparations commission, by a unanimous vote, agreed to the Belgian plan for dealing with German reparations," says the Indianapolis News. "It amounts to a .virtual moratorium.

for the radical reform of German finances, including a balancing of the budget, currency reform, the issue of foreign and international loans, and the reduction of Germany's foreign relations. . "It is a very happy solution. The best feature of it is that it insures harmony between the allied powers and brings Great Britain and France again into accord. It would have been a calamity had there been any break in the allied

relationship. France was wise in accepting the compromise. It is greatly to her interest to

maintain the entente, and also to insure, as far

as possible, the existenceof a Germany that shall

be able to meet her obligations. During the last few weeks the French franc has been falling in an 'alarming way. It must be clear to all that

Germany will not be required to make any cash

payments during the present year, while provi-i Germany cannot collapse without seriously af

sion is made for discussion of any cash payments that may be due in 1923. The German government will make a gold deposit sufficient to guarantee the deferred payments. Belgium, instead of the cash payments to w7hich she is entitled under a priority agreement, will accept German treasury bills, payable in six months. Deliveries of coal and wood are to continue.

The legislative day whicii con- " vened in the senate on April 20 and : adjourned on August 3, was the longt . est day on record. When it is desired '.that some special business be kept " before the body considering it, a re- ; cess is taken from day to day instead ; of an adjournment. In such a case, .'The formalities of opening a day's business, such as the usual prayer, are dispensed with and the business of . the previous day is continued. The " longest legislative day in the house of representatives, according to the clerk of the house, was in 1888 when a day lasted over two weeks during a filibuster against a direct tax bill. Q. What is the largest size motor bus? J. S. H. A. There is no maximum for size of motor buses, but one recently put in operation in the city of Detroit has a capacity of 135 passengers. By way of contrast it may be pointed out that the smaller buses seat 28 passengers. Q. Can woolen goods be made moth proof? P. K. A. Manufacturers of woolen goods say that a preparation has been brought out recently in Germany which, it is claimed, will make wool immune to the attacks of moths. By its use cleaners and dyers can gve all woolen fabrics a moth proof finish. Q. "Why was a fort, about 25 miles from New Orleans named Chef Men teur? M. H. A. The following legend Is told: The Choctaws were conspicuous for their love of truth, but one of the chiefs was' known to prevaricate frequently. He was exiled and settled on a peninsula projecting into Lake Ponchartrain, which therefore was called "Chef Menteur," which is French for Lying Chief." The fort was named

for this place

fecting all Europe, France perhaps more than all. "At any rate, another danger point has been

passed and there is abundant reason for rejoic ing. It is becoming clearer every day that na

tions can not in these troublous times get very far by playing a lone hand. That, perhaps, is the great moral to be drawn from the happy solution of a very complicated and dangerous

problem that was reached yesterday."

TODAY'S'TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" A PATCH OF GYPSY FLOWERS It's the little things that often make us think the deepest and bring to us our richest periods of happiness. Every morning that I go to work, and every evening when I return, I pass a little bed of pansies which are massed along the brick path from the door of my home. They stare into the sunlight with their saucy, tiny, velveted heads and almost bend under my feet as I pass, so that I am very careful not to harm a single one by thoughtlessly stepping into their midst. Their appeal for affection seems so strong that I often stop and pick a handful for my work table or to carry to a friend. In my mind I caress their beautiful hearts. I should like to have been the discoverer of the first pansy and to have been remembered 'as such. A Reader Friend has referred to these diminutive tots as "gypsy" flowers. I like the name. But what gypsy was ever arrayed in garb so gorgeous or so rich in coloring? And what a scent do these pansies have! So delicately refined, so full of modest sweetness. I know people who make me think of these gypsy flowers. And what friends they are! Dependable, kind, gentle, beautiful in mind, unselfish, thoughtful, generous, broad in sympathy and big of heart. When I was five years old, a little girl used to bring me a picking of pansies very often. In a little envelope, among my choicest belongings, are a group f these little smilers, pressed, though as fresh in form and remembrance as when they came to me in their golds and blues and purples long, long ago. And here is the verse that accompanied them: "Pansies grow for thought, Here is one for you! Just to let you know Your little love is true." w Sentiment? Yes, that's it. Sentiment which keeps us human and full of understanding. Sentiment which softens the rough spots and which takes away the sting of disappointment and loss. Sentiment which makes it possible for human beings to go on and keep this world from getting sour and impossible. This would be a pretty poor world without its pansies. So silent in mystery, so unpretentious, so incomparable in coloring, so frail in form, so unasking in attitude, who is there can resist the appeal of these gypsy flowers these pansies? Where did the pansies come from, anyway? Well, I rather think that they are just one of millions of other surprises that God once planted in the earth, like the white water lilies, to help make this earth more beautiful for us all. Have I a favorite flower? Yes the pansy!

By FREDERICK J. HASKI.V WASHIXGTOX, D. C. Sept. 2. A whistling school is being conducted in this city. The art of whistling which has so long been frowned upon by sedate adults is being taught scientifically to a group of boys and girls by a speech specialist What is most remarkable, a woman of about 50 years is in the class along with the youngsters. She believes that the old adage, "A whistling girl ana a crowing hen never came to any good end," is more sensible in its revised version, "A girl that can whistle and a hen that can. crow will make their way wherever

they go." The class in whistling is the idea of Dr. Walter B. Swift, well known speech specialist of Boston. He noticed that many of his clinic patients could not whistle. He also took note of the fact that people who whistle easily and well usually have clear-cut speech. The doctor thought,, over thes significant observations arid came to the conclusion that whistling might well be a means of clearing up defective speech. Accordingly, he held his first whistling class in Boston last month the first whistling class in history, he whimsically call it. Eight students enrolled. One was a stammerer. One had a phonetic defect. And the other six came just to learn to whistle. After a month of persistent work Dr. Swift reported that the stammerer had improved 50 per cent in his speech, while the boy with the phonetic trouble also talked with

noticeable improvement. The children with whistling ambitions were joyously thrilling all sorts" of tunes. The whist-

THE CAR MANIA Long ago, when I was walking, such exertion I found shocking, and the auto fans were mocking, as they gayly slithered past; so I mortgaged every chattel and my house and string of cattle, like a boob with brains arattle, and I owned a car at last. For two months or so my flivver made my heart with rapture quiver, then I learned to sigh and shiver as I viewed my rusty wain; for my neighbors were reclining in their autos bright and shining, decked with purple velvet lining and all sorts of trimmings vain. So I borrowed pound and shilling from all people who were willing, and my uncle made a killing, lending money on my junk, and today I'm bravely steaming in an auto nobly gleaming,

ling doctor then moved to Washington

to conduct his next experiment. Whether or not the experiments justify his theory, the doctor is a strong advocate of whistling as music and exercise. He says: "Everybody should whistle. It is the greatest worry killer I know of. Try it when you feel gloomy and watch yourself cheer up. Whistling should be a part of everybody's education; it tends to improve speech even if there is no defect." Whistling Is Good Vocal Exercise The method of producing awhistling sound and the method of Bpeaking are closely allied, the doctor points out, so

that whistling is good vocal exercise. Then, too, when a person whistles he listens to the sound he is producing and tries to make it clear and pleasing. That most people need to improve their speech is obvious. The American voice is har6h and rasping, due to fast, high pitched and slovenly conversation. If we listened to our speech as we listen when we sing or whistle we wouAd soon have more agreeable voices. Dr. Swift says. We would pronounce our final g's and cease to run words together in a jumble. We would talk slowly enough to make our words distinct, and softly enough to produce pleasing sounds. But most people do not listen. We are so intent on the remarks we want to make that the technlaue seems unimportant. This is no defense, however, of the individual who always hears his voice when he is speaking. Such a person so enjoys the melody that he draws from his instrument that his self-consciousness is easily apparent. There

is presumably a happy medium. Listen to your voice occasionally, enough

to become sensitive to your defects, and listen to the voices of other people. That will help you to discriminate between a pleasing voice and grating mannerisms. These methods have been advocated all along. Whistling Is the new addition to the list of suggestions for speech improvement. Learning to whistle seems simple as Dr. Swift teaches it. He opens the class by testing; each pupil's foundation for whistling. The record of the speech defect, if there is any, has been obtained before the class begins. "Can you whistle? Some? Good!" says the doctor fo a 16-year-old boy. "Whistle something." The boy strikes up "Yankee Doodle" and gets through it creditably though not all the notes are correct. He is then given a whistling lesson: to practice "Yankee Doodle" five times a day for five minutes at a time. v A bright and smiling little chap of nine with a faint lisp in his speech is

next. He speaks in very deep, monotonous tones, the doctor points out. He says that he can't whistle at all. "Try," urges the doctor. "Wet your whistle, pucker your lips and let out one note like this." , The boy grins and gets out a low,

faint note. He is told to practice puckering up and whistlfng a steady note five times a day. Seeks Cure , For Stammering Then comes the smiling gray-haired woman of the class. After a few false starts she gives a wavering version of "Yankee Doodle" as a test of her ability. She stammers a little when excited, she explains, and she is interested to see whether whistling will help. "I admire your courage," says the doctor. "We can teach you to whistle, anyway." The doctor says that he has found only one person who could not learn

to whistle. Why this boy could not remains a mystery. Either he could not grasp the idea of how to force the sound out, or he could not control the muscles. While others in the clas3 advanced from steam engine noises to scales and on to "My Old Kentucky Home" this boy never succeeded in producing a feeble pipe. But he is a rare exception. Dr. Swift believes." With patience 'and practice almost anyone can learn to give his voice exercise by whistling. Dr. Swift says that more attention should be given to speech defects, especially in children. In every school room there are about two speech defectives he finds. This seems like a comparatively small number, but multiplied by the number of school rooms in a city it becomes more impressive. Some of the defectives have organic trouble. Many are the victims of indifference, bad training, and habit. Mothers think that cthildren will grow out of lisping, stammering and baby talk. Too often, however, the way of speaking becomes more deeply rooted

through habit It is far harder to correct defects in a child of 12 than In a five-year-old. Public schools in a number of cities now have' speech clinics, and speech specialists attached to the teaching force. Stammering, stuttering and the rest of speech defects are often treated as minor ailments, because they do not apparently impair the health. They

do, however, have serious effects on

the individual. In society, in business, everywhere that he comes in contact with other people, the speech defective is handicapped. Schools and clinics have made a start in trying to improve the voices of the rising generation. Perhaps whistling will, as Dr. Swift

prophesies, play a part in making the American, voice beautiful. .
