MIGHTY IN SINEWS OF WAR
II Wealth Is Any Test This Country
Could Stagger Any Hostile
Combination.

II we accept Professor AtkinsOn's
estimate that the Civil war cost S.
Uoe, 1000 600, and remember that the ma
tional wealth, including slaves. Was
placed by the census at only $lGI5g.-
6l6,OGS in 1860. and at only a little
more than $50 zoe 100000 in depraclat,
ed currency even five years after the
war had ended. it is seen that the
struggle between the states cost be
tween one-fourth and one-half OF their
then existing wealth
All calculations as TO what wars
cost are subject to grievous and even
monumental errors, Albert w. Atwood
writes in the Saturday Evening Pos.
But this much we know: The north
raised nearly $4,000 GOO. 900 in loans
and the south raised $1,000, 900. 900
Call 1t $4,000 100000 actually obtained
for war purposes by the two opposing
sections.
If the north and south in conflict
could spend S6,O0O,OOO 900 on war half
a century ago, what could the united
country assemble for such a purpose
today, with ten times the wealth? This
country has a puny. negligible ma
tional debt. The European countries
were enormously-almost ruinously-
In debt before they began their war,
some of them with ten to fifteen times
as much debt per capita as the United
States. Yet they have already foated
$4,000 100000 OF bonds. and the end
is nowhere In sight.
The total aggregate wealth OF all
the belligerents is hardly more than
one-third greater than ours. If wealth
is any test this country could stag
ger almost any conceivable combina-
ton that might be formed against it.

SALESWOMAN GOT WRONG TIP

Not English"

well-dressed young woman stepped
on the elevator in one of the depart
ment stores and started to make her
way toward the millinery department.
FROM the manner in which the floor
walker stepped up and addressed her,
calling her by name. II was obvious
that she was a customer whose pat.
ronage was sought. She intended to
buy hat, she informed the floor
walker, and he escorted her to the mil
linery department, called for the head
woman and introduced her to the Gus

And then, with instructions to see that
the customer saw the best in the store.

The saleswoman, observant student
OF human nature, was ELUSIVE in her

Miss Hobbs favor seemed to rest with
a plainly tailored hat.
That is an English walking hat"
the saleswoman explained. 1T looks

The young woman. with an effort.

raised saleswoman that her name was
not English" but that she had an
English name.-Indianapolis News.
