Fightfulness at Home

Sweet Charity.
az RUTH CAMERON.

Every human being has many sides.
Get at the people you know best
from a different angle. and you will
find them utterly different people.
One of the best ways to do this is to
try to collect money for some charity.
1t is really worth doing as an edu-
cation in character, if for no other
reason.
Be sure to go among people that
you know, else you will not be able
TO appreciate Wfat different side YOU
are seeing.

MEETING EMERGENC1Es.

One after another the emergencies
arising from conditions brought on by
the war have been and are still being
successfully met. Notable among
these is the increased demand or~tin-
plate and enameled ware.
The demand for tinplate from all
corners of the globe and the conse-
quent high prices prevailing have not
only attracted more capital and re-
srlted in the erection of new mills,
but have led the existing mills to tin
a much greater proportion of their
black plate production than is ordi-
harily the case.
This practice, says a statement is
sued by the bureau or foreign and do
triestic commerce, will also be followed
next year. Judging from figures Just
made public by the tinplate conserva-
ton committee and which are based
on returns from the large producers.
Owing to the emergency needs of
the government American manufac-
tureFs OF enafneied Ware have recently
been making record shipments of
these wares.
With the mobilization of the troops
the medical division of the govern
ment found itself in immediate need
of large Supplies of hospital equip
ment. There was particularly press
| ing need of enameled utensils. This
ware, which is durable and easy to
keep clean and sterile is an almost
priceless part of hospital equipment
| Thousands Of pieces of the ware we're
Immediately required and American
Manufacturers were appealed to gen
orally to meet the situation.
The agents of the government ap-
peaIed to the manufacturers to mo-
Billie their Resources in any way that
would hasten production.
These suggestions were promptly
adopted, with the result that the med
1 ical division has been supplied with
enormous quantities of enameled uten-
sils with practically no delay. As the
eEaIfieling industry is widely distrib-
uted geographically. it was possible
so TO apportion many of the orders
that they fell to the lot of plants
which were located in the immediate
vicinity of certain of the cantonments
In this way long haul Shipments were
eliminated, and considerable saving
effected in time and shipping expense
AS a result of this plan of friendly
cooperation among all the interests
concerned. it was possible 10 break
ali records IN the production and ship
ment of enameled ware. and to carry
on this emergency work without seri-
eusls interfering with the normal op-
erations of the industry in question

THE aoLn EMBARGO.

The embargo which the United
States has placed on exports of gold
probably Is due to a belief that some
of the yellow metal which has been
going out was reaching Germany.
Berlin is sorely in need of gold and
therefore the embargo may be justi-
fled as a war measure. Otherwise 1t
may be regarded as an unwarranted
interference with the laws of trade.
When gold goes out-whether it is
going out Of your pocket, out of a
bank. or out of the country-it goes
because someone has a right to de-
mand it. Except IN the case of char
ity, no one gives up gold except in ex-
change for something else that he
prefers. When the purchaser gets
the other mans commodity, the seller
has right to demand the gold. This
is a very Simple statement which it is
we'll to Keep in mind in connection
with the governments embargo.
No one can take gold out of the
country unless he has a right to de-
inafld it, and if he has a right to de-
inland it, We can not refuse without
impairirg our credit, tho the impair
ment may be to only an imperceptible
degree in the case of small amounts.
When we began selling Great Britain
large quantities of war supplies. in
1915, she sent US gold. Her gold did
not last long so she dumped American
sc curities on our markets or used
them as a means of raising gold. She
issued bonds to get gold or it's equiva-
lent and when she was near the end
of her resources we issued bonds and
loaned her the money or credit-the
equivalent of gold. To the extent that
she is now indebted to US, we have
the right to demand now or at some
future time payment in gold.
We have been buying large quaint
ties of goods in Japan, China and
South America. The sellers had a
right to demand gold and they have
exercised the right An embargo may
temporarily check such a movement
of gold, but it cannot check it long
+ Whenever we buy in excess of oul
sales, we must pay in gold or accumu-
late a debt which the seller is will

The liberty loan campaign is re-
ported to be dragging. If it is not
coming UP to expectations the fault
lies with the eampaigners. Selling
liberty loan bonds is much like SELL
ing life insurance. The insurance
agent who went about telling people,
in theaters and other public places
what a fine thing life insurance is
might convince them but be would
not write any policies. To Sell insur-
ance requires the direct personal APP
peal in most cases. 1t is so with gov
eminent bonds. Doubtless there are
thousands of persons ready and will
ing to buy liberty bonds. who will not
do so if they must go out and hunt up
somebody with whom they can make
the deal If there were some place
where these persons could go, put
down their money. get their bond
carry it away with them and end the
transaction, probably Che response to
the call of Uncle Sam WOULD be more
hearty than it has been up to this
time. There is entirely too much red
tape about the sale of liberty bonds.

Great Progress in Movement.
All in ali, the results of the census

show, too. that there is room for much
greater progress in the future. The

the United States will appropriate for
