FRANCS FOR DOLLARS.

A French banker has an ingenious
plan for eliminating all our financial
difficulties He has written an open
letter to American bankers suggesting
that we substitute the franc for the
dollar as our monetary unit.
He reasons Il out about like this. \
franc. as almost everybody knows. IS
only one-fifth OF a dollar. We are useG
TO handling dollars as units OF expendt
ture-we expect TO pay just about so
many dollars Tor a pair OF shoes or a
suit of clothes or a summer vacation.
Now. II We suddenly found all our
money turned into francs, we would
probably go ahead automatically paying
out about the same number OF francs
as we had formerly paid out dollars. II
would seem a dreadful extravaganza 10
spend 25 francs for a pair Of shoes. or
200 francs for suit OF clothes. We
would therefore spend less, and force
prices down
Likewise with petty expenditure
The franc Is divided into 100 centimcs
lust as our dollar is divided INTO 100
cents Thus with the adoption Of the
franc system. as il prevails in Franc"
Switzerland. Italy and Greece. VIC
should have as our smallest unit Of cur
rency one.fifth OF a cent That would
give us new standard. Who would
scorn five centmes? or who would
waste nickel. II it were labeled 80
centimes?"
Maybe Il would work that way. II
has often been said that YOU can judge
a nations thrift from the value OF it'
smanes; coin in general circulation
Thus we have been said TO spend nicF'
els as the Frenchmen spends sous
tequal 10 9 10 centsl. and as the Eng
lishman spends a penny lequal TO two
centsl
But YOU never can tell The WAY
prices are kiting now, everybody is
fast losing the old sense of money val
ues. II the price Of everything IN
current money units were suddenly
multiplied by five. wouldn't the con
temptation of such big figures make
US an feel like millionaires. and spend
our money more recklessly than ever

HAVE YOU HEARD THE CHILDREN
CRYING?
BY Amelia T.. Barr
Of the Nigilantes

Have YOU heard the children crying.
Mother in your home at rest
With your baby softly lying,
In the covert Of your breast?
Have you heard the children crying,
Everywhere that Huns have stood,
Slashing. Staying, as they trampled
Red, wet-shOd in childrens blood?
Have YOU heard the children crying,
For their mothers far away?
Dead maltreated on the roadside!
Could they hear their children pray?
But Thou heard. O Child Of Mary.
Heard the cry for mothers slain,
And Thou heard the mothers dying,
Call on Thee IN mortal pain.
Women listen rot TO music,
Let all pleasure pass YOU by,
II God gave you souls for mothers
You must hear the children cry!
You must send some love and comfor.
To the homes where Huns have stool
