Screens.

This is to be word about screens. Not the kind of screens you put in windows, but the kind you put be- tween you and yourself so that you cannot see yourself too clearly.
 When I am having difficulty in ex- pressing myself in writing, I find my self leaving my desk, ostensibly to sharpen my pencil, actually to get away from the painful effort of con- centration.
 The idea that I must sharpen my pencil is what I mean by a screen.
 Don't Want to Admit I'm ShirI1
 I put it up between me and my actual motive so that I won't have to admit I am just trying to shirk.
 The child who feels i'll at quarter of nine in the morning and recovers at half-past nine, when it is too late for him to be sent to school shows how early in life we began to use screens.
 Of course that might be deliberate shamming, but far more often a child deceives himself. I know, be- cause I can vaguely remember even now the mental processes of one lit tie girl who hated school so much that the approach of nine o'clock helped to give her a sick feeling at her stomach. My brother used to call it my s"ginger cookie sickness" " because before the forenoon was over

PROSPERITY IS
NOT PRECEDENTED
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Tells of the Nations Great Trade
Expansion
ASSOCIATED Pressl

Washington, December 10.-Unpre-
cedented growth of the country's for
eign trade, the commercial advantages
which viii accrue from peace and the
opportunity presented for a heavier
export business and greater invest
ments abroad are set forth today by
Secretary Redfeld, of the depart
ment of commerce, in his annual re-
port. The report gives figures show
ing the nations trade expansion of
two years and sums up the country's
commercial dominance as follows:
"Our foreign Indebtedness has been
reduced possibly three billions. We
have loaned abroad total sum since
the war began August /, 1914, esti-
mated at $1,500,000, 900, and increas-
ing. We are the wealthiest nation
III the world and the most prosperous
cne. We have not wasted our men or
means of war. Relatively to our fis-
cal power today our debts are trifing.
Nations less wealthy than some of our
Individual states bear heavier burd-
en- of debt and interest than we.
"We are the only one of the great
Industrial peoples at peace. Nations
turn to US for goods and means with
which to pay US for the goods. None
of US, in our widest financial fancies
five years ago, would have dreamed
that things could be as now they are.
"To protect our reserve of gold,
which is the ultimate base on which
cur domestic credits rest, we must
maintain our export trade and must
continue to increase loans and invest
nents abroad. The work of the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce is devoted to these important
duties. The report of the chief of
that service shows its extraordinary
growth and effectiveness In thou
sands of business offices its aid is
acknowledged and welcomed. Never
has our government put at the dis
peal of our business and industry the
helpful facilities that are now pro-
vided.

SENSIBLE ADVICE FROM
OUR SENIOR SENATOR
COUNSEL GIVEN BY FLETCHER At OPENING Of
SOUTHERN COMMERCIAL CONGRESS
ASSOCIATED Pressl

Norfolk, Dec. 11.-United States
Senator Duncan u. Fletcher of Flor
ida, president of the Southern Com
mercial Congress, opening the annual
session of that body here today, urg-
ed the country to turn its attention
Immediately to the establishment of
closer business relations with neutral
nations. He declared the greatest op-
portunity lay in Latin-America and
China. The federal farm loan act and
laws preventing rate discrimination,
blacklisting and dumping cheap for
eign products in the United States,
Senator Fletcher declared, would aid
the planters and manufacturers dur
ing the reconstruction period after the
European war. The shipping and
Webb bills before Congress would be
important factors, one providing the
ships and the other permitting Amer
ican exporters to combine to secure
trade. Senator Fletcher said Comp
tioller of the Currency Williams de-
clared the United Statess hould pre-
pare TO defend itself against all COM
ers and be ready to finance the world
literally after the war.

Calculated by Rumanians to
Hold Teutons in Check
MEANTIME THE RUSSIANS WILL ASSUME A VIGOROUS Of
FENSNE OUT OF WESTERN MOLDAUA
ASSOCIATED Press)

Indications today pointed more
strongly than ever to the probability
of new Rumanian defensive line
along the Buzeu river, which forms
the southern boundary of Moldavia.
Petrograd reports indicated the Ru-
manian northern army held the Teu-
tons along the railroad from Ploechti
to Buzeu. 1t seems necessary for the
Rumanians to hold here until the Ru-
manians retreating from the region
between Bucharest and Tchernavoda
reach the Buzeu line. Meanwhile the
Russians continued the attacks on the
western Moldavian frontier and re-
ported gains in the valleys running
westward. Apparently they hope to
eventually cut in behind the Teutonic
supply lines running into Rumania
from the north. In Macedonia the
Serbians reported driving the Bulgar-
ians back northeast of Monastir. On
the Franco-Belgian front intermittent
artillery fighting and aviation opera
tions were reported.
GREECE MUST COME TO TAW
London, Dec. 1.-THE entente note
