Realizing Our Strength. (Boston Post.)

About two years ago this time, what appeared to the most serious danger threatening the United States as re- suit of the outbreak of the European war was that we should be called upon imme mediately, or even quite gradually, to pay off the five billions which ii was estimated we owed Europe.
 It was feared that the demand for payment of our current indebtedness of several hundred millions would pull so much of the gold out of our banks as to endanger the superstructure of credit upon which general business rested; and it was freely predicted that even if these current payments were safely made, Europe would keep de- luging us with our own securities held by her investors, so that enterprise and speculation would be stified here as long as the war lasted. The re- mark credited to Sir George Paish, the eminent English economist, that we could kiss good-by" to all the gold we remitted to Europe, did not help to assuage these fears.
 How differently things have turned out from the predictions of even the best informed economists! We paid our current debts in gold, and, thanks to the federal reserve act had a plenty left to take care of the then budding business boom. But the gold did not stay away for long. As our exports in- creased by leaps and bounds, Europe found the current debt balance tilted our way, and the gold we sent to Can- ada for account of the Ban kof Eng land has been for months flowing back to us. Not only this. but from all over the world the yellow stream has been flooding in. with the result
 that we have gained $660, ,00O net since the war started.
 That amount is 50 per cent more than the normal annual increase in the worlds supply It provides for half as much additional credit to our busi- ness men as all our national banks furnished before the war We have now nearly one-third of the worlds stock of gold and almost as much as the Bank of England, the Bank of France, the Bank of Germany and the Bank of Russia combined. And while
 making this gain we have taken back | some $2,000,000, 900 of our own securi- nations about $1,5OO,000,00
 i Europe now realizes our giant finan- cial strength, and openly acknowledges that the United States has become the worlds financial centre It is high time 1 that the little people here at home who want to close our gates and hide behind the old provincial high tariff wall wake up to the possibilities of
 world dominance in international trade that now lie so clearly before us.

Patrick Henry's Oratory.


 Patrick Henry was engaged three days successively in the, delivery of his argument in the British Debt Cause, and the audience remained throughout, their interest seeming to increase as it progressed. When Henry finally sat down. writes Robert s. Shaw in Case and Comment, the con- course rose with a general murmur of admiration, the scene resembling the breaking up and dispersion of great theatrical assembly,"
 Henry took the position that, by the law of nations, contracts between the people of belligerent countries are void; that under the strain of war, the debts were justly confiscated; that Great Britain had broken her treaty in more ways than one, and. finally, that the independence of America had brought about an annulment of a thousand things of greater importance than obligations for the payment of 8 few pounds sterling.
 At the close of a thrilling passage in which Henry appeared at his utmost height and grandeur, Justice Ireden cried out: "Gracious God! He is an orator indeed!" Thus did Henry in his last great case close his career as an advocate with blazing triumph.

cry shampoo for such hair is made Of
alcoholic ammonia, half an ounce; the
same tincture Of quillaia, two drains

hol sufficient to make eight ounces.
The shampoo should be applied by
rubbing it well into the scalp and dry
ing the head with a rough towel. No
water is required.
Massage your scalp. but do not rub
the hair. Separate the hair and rub
vaseline on the scalp gently. then
place the tips Of the fingers firmly on
the scalp and work all over the scalp
with & rotary motion and move the
scalp with each rotation Of the fin
gers. 1t is the loosening OF the scalp
