 STILL AIDING ALLIES
 The chancellor said that he was to some extent disappointed that despite the aid from America the British ad- vances to allies had increased.
 "We hold, however" he continued, that the allies are one, and that money spent on our allies is money spent on ourselves.
 T am satisfied that President Will son and the great nation he repre- sents will deal with this question in the same spirit of generosity. realiz- ing that the cause of the allies is one, and that we can rely upon receiving from the United States the resources necessary to pay for the supplies of all kinds required by the allies

Bonar Law stated. while the total advance to the dominions was 1 E146 0O0, ,000 Part of the increased army expenditures, he explained was due to the fact that Gredt Iritdil i@u ihhuo greater payments to India for services rendered In connection with the war. There was also an increased eXpendi- lure for airplanes. Another increase in army expenditures, he noted, was due l to the fact that the casualties at the front had been lower than last year. 1 The net daily increase in war expendi- lures; aside from loans to allies and allowing for expenditure which subse- 1 ouently would be repaid, continued the chancellor, was f3000oo It was evident, he went on. that the budget estimate would be largely exceeded, mainly on account of advances to great Britain $ Iallies.

"EsQIes" in Currency,

American gold coinage, eagles, half
eagles and quarter-eagles, of the value
Of $40, S. and $3.50, respectively, were
first placed in circulation 125 years ago,
December 6, 1892. Since that date the
United States minis have turned out
in the neighborhood of 100000 dou-
BILE eagles, or 500 gold pieces; over 50,-
100000 eagles about 100000 half
eagles and some 100000 quarter
eagles. One and three-dollar gold
pieces were formerly coined, but they|
were discontinued in 1890. The first
coin called an eagle was used in Ire
land in the thirteenth century, and was
so called from the figure of an eagle|
impressed upon it, but it was made the
base metal. The standard of the eagle
was borne by the ancient Persiaps and
the Romans also coined gold and silverj
eagles as ensigns, and sometimes rep1
resented them with thunderbolts IND
their talons. Charlemagne adopted the
double eagle as the standard Of the
holy Roman empire. The eagle was
the standard of Napoleon I and NapOt
leon III, and is today the standard
Austria and Prussia, while, before thu
revolution, Russia also claimed it.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD,

A challenge not only to the sound
judgment, but to the idealism of the
American business man lies in what
has come to be called the industrial
housing problem" Behind these mat
ter-of-fact words is a world of vital
significance affecting the greater, more
efficient, more beautiful America for
which forward-looking men are begin
ming, in a large way, to plan.
The solution lies neither in senti-
ment alone nor in unmitigated business
sense; it is comprehended, however, in
that mixture of the two qualities which
makes for the greatest social value and
personal success in industry.
The practice of providing suitable
homes for workers is in it's infancy'in

War Forces Consideration.

The great war, however, has been
the great precipitator. 1t has crystal
lized conditions that would otherwise
have been q generation, century or
quintet in f1ux. The housing prob
lem in the United States has been NOV
ed up at least a generation. Where
yesterday it was with many industrial
organizations a matter of sentiment or
casual experiment, it is today prob
lem of grim necessity, though it will
never find real solution until senti-
ment mingles with business judgment
to produce a humanity likeable, work
able and altogether satisfactory result.
The reason why the housing prob
lem cannot be dealt with solely in a
cold, logical, business fashion should be
apparent TO everyone That it is not
apparent is evident from the fact that
many attempts at solving the problem
in America have resulted unsatisfac-
torily.

Rachel wondered why he had returned
to disturb her hardly won serenity, for
she was frank enough with herself to
admit that she was disturbed by his
proximity. Quite naturally their steps
had turned toward the tree that had
been their objective point during that
summer time, when they both were
young, but there has been little talk
between them.
She wished to avoid personalities,
yet she could not bring her mind to
bear upon the trivial things that
would make conversation. Emotion,
that had long been buried, dominated
her, and she was conscious that re-
sentiment more than any other feeling
had held her in its grip; resentment
and the memory of months of suffer

of moving her, and it was against this

practicable than all the solutions thus
far offered is proper housing.
Mere Shelter Not Enouuh.

But proper housing does not mean
mere shelter. Man is a sentimental
animal. His hottest sentiment centers
about the home. Home ties mean con-,
tentment; if they do not, they are not
ties for long. They mean attachment
to locality, they mean a vital interest
in the community; they mean, most OF
all, a sense of security which implies
the psychologists and the workman
themselves tell us-permanence, COM
fort and enthusiasm in ones surround
ings. This was the meaning of the
English cottage and garden.
The problem of housing then, is, first
of all, one for the employer.
The problem is also one for the COM
munity and particularly for those menu
bers of the community who profit most
by its healthy, sound and consistent
growth. Chief among these members
Is the banker. But merchants should
also be interested, as well as the own
ers of traction companies, and all
those who are possessed of disinter-
ested civic pride.
So in the cities where the individual
employer cannot meet the problem, 1t
is properly one for a stock company
composed of employers, bankers, mer-
chants, and those advocates of civic
betterments who prefer a garden SUBJ
urb to long rows Of poorly planned,
illbuilt, altogether mentally and fnan-
cially depressing fats and shscks-
miscalled cottages. /
Country Faces New Conditions !
There is, however, a larger and more
important phase of the problem than
any thus far considered here. The
new world contract which has been
thrust upon us within the last few
years brings an obligation to create a
new, more beautiful, more efficient,
more glorious America. The founda-
ton of that America must be labor;
well paid, contented labor; and only!
such labor can be depended upon in
the period of all-inclusive readjust-I
ments and reconstruction which may
be thrust upon us at any time by the
end of the world war. Proper hous-.
ing, housing that, no matter who the
laborer or what his habits, creates the
permanent home sense, will be an i'm

garden, a breathing space, the mercy

The garden is no less important than

more important in many respects than
the house itself.

obvious fact that the competition for
labor in the United States Is stiffen-

GYMNASIUM KNITTING

Grandma, when she used to knit,
Didn't work her arms a bit,
Waving them like dumb-bell swingers
Seemed to do it with her fingers;
Didn't take up half room,
Using needles like a broom,
Though she loved rocking chair
She could knit most anywhere,
And no matter how she'd ply,
Never poked you in the eye;
But, oh lor' and goodness gracious,
In these days so far less spacious,
When the modern knitting girl
Sits her down a sock to purl,
Both her elbows start to swirl;
Every time the needle jibs
Pokes her neighbor in the ribs.
Wonder if such stunts she tries
For gymnasium exercise.
Thinks, perhaps, it's more exciting
To behave as if reciting.
Girls, oh girls, we mean no harm,
If you'd weave a greater charm,
Work the wrist and not the arm;
Grandma, when she used to knit,
Didn't wave her arms bit.
