Financing big business is a never ending puzzle to most of us. We read about this telephone company, or that railroad corporation, or some big manufacturing plant making huge sums of money. Then about a week later we see in the same paper that one of those same companies is bor- rowing ten million dollars. And it's hard to understand why the latter step should be necessary if the former statement was true.
 Now that we have devoted several lessons to showing how big and strong and wealthy this country is, you may be wondering why in the world it should have to borrow so much money, even though it is wartime borrowing. If the country is so well eff why not use some of the accumu- lated wealth instead of borrowing? Well, of course, that is just what Uncle Sam is doing, but you must nev- CT lose sight of the fact that the pro- perty in the country belongs to the enc hundred million citizens.
 Those citizens elect a relatively small group from among themselves to car ry on the business of running the gov
 ernment, but they do not give them the right to take their property for government purposes. In fact, one ot | the most sacred provisions of our con- stitution is that private property may not be corfiscated or in any way talk.

EDWARD R. PERRY
 WILL SPEAK HERE

Edward Russell Perry, of New York city, will speak at 3:30 in the new gymnasium of the Young Mems Christian Association, to men, Sunday afternoon, on the subject, '"The Less on of the Hour" Miss Esther Berg. on eof the most popular and finest singers in the city, will. be the soloist for the afternoon. All men over 16 years of age are invited to these pop ular meetings for men.
 MT. Perry interprets the most inn portant question of this generation and with vital human interest, the glow of an engaging personality, and a skill few can equal. The past 10 years he has taken an active part in the anti-graft campaign in New York, and his services are eagerly sought and commended by some of the most prominent men in the coun- try. He is a member of a number Of research organizations and of the Academy of Political Science in the city of New York.

except by the consent of the individu- als who own it. There is your main reason, therefore, for government bor- rowing instead of just taking.
 Now when you look around about you at all this wealth that we have been talking about you see that it is divided up into two main classes.
 The first class consists of homes, factories, stores, banks, farms, rail- roads, machinery, jeweIry, clothing, except money
 The second class is just money it. self.
 You will probably be amazed to learn how very much more there is of the first kind of wealth than of the second. Out of that two hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of wealth that we told you about last time only about five and one-haf billion dollars are in actual money. The rest is in those other forms of wealth.
 Well, then, when the government enters upon war it must have vast quantities of food, clothing, guns, am- IT, unition, etc. And when it wants to raise funds to buy these things it can't use store nor a factory, nor farm. It must have money and the money is in our individual hands in a very linn tied amount as compared with those other things.
 1 In other words, at such a time and when money is needed in such vast quantities, this great country, rich as it is, is after a fashion in that particu- lar financial state that we call "pro- Iperty-poor."
 "Property-poor" describes the man who is loaded up with real estate and not enough money to run it. Now that isn't quite fair description of this country's affairs at present. But it is near enough to help you understand the peculiar conditions which confront a great nation in time of war and which make it absolutely necessary for each of us to take the whole mat ter very seriously, and to do every thing which we can do individually to help.
 Next time we shall try to show you what all this has to do with Liberty Bonds-both those which have al- ready been issued and those which are to come.

REACTIONS FOR
 SLIGHT DEFECTS
 ORDERED HALTED

Washington, Feb. 1 - Changes in physical requirements for men of the National Army, by which thousands who have been or would be rejected under the first regulations cen now be accepted for service, were announced yesterday by Provost Marshal-Gen- eraI Crowder.
 Physical defects that can be reme- died and make the men fit for service will be remedied, or the men put into some special work not so rigorous as trench fighting, Gen. Crowder says.
 Height and weight requirements are both lowered and increased. Flat foot or club and claw foot and several foot troubles no longer are causes for rejection and local boards are or dered to reject no foot cases"
 Chances for rejections for eye and ear defects are greatly lessened, den tai requirements modified, hernia and similar troubles must be very serious

 The minimum height is lowered from 61 to 58 inches by the new reg ulations. The old regulations placed the height limit at 6 feet 8 inches, but the new orders provide that men above feet inches may be accept ed if well proportioned.
 The weight minimum is lowered from no to 100 pounds. Spinal trou- bIes must interfere seriously with weight bearing powers to reject.
