In the development of foreign trade

the government recognizes the value
Of trade marks to the extent of pro-
tecting them by legislation, it GER
tainly sould recognize their value in
connection with taxation. The nation
which has the greatest foreign trade
after the war will be the one whose
manufacturers have the greatest
good will, and most of this good will
is attained by advertising. Certainly
everything should be done to encour-
age the development Of good Will in
this way, and having developed it

exempt 1t from taxation through
classifying it as capital invested.

TEN YEARS ON. THE OTHER
END
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Of The Vigilantes

A doughboy, now on the other
side, spent an evening at my home
not long before he sailed. Jimmy
had spent over three months in a
training camp. When he had left
home heS had been comparatively
slight. During those three months
ne had put Oh over % pounds. IL
was not fat, but solid meat.
Cant get on a single article Of
clothing which had before went
into service" chuckled Jimmy.
Never felt so fine in my life"
Jimmy was a. bookkeeper before
Uncle Sam took him in hand. He
got little outdoor exercise and cared
little or nothing for outdoor sports.
I was interested to know Just what
Jimmy thought Of it all. Especially
was I interested in Jimmy's view
point on the subject Of compulsory
universal training as fixed policy
for America after the war.

A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property
custodian, holds nearly a billion dol
lars worth of German property and
suggests that this money be used to
pay the claims of American citizens
against Germany. In business life
it is not often a fellow can collect
money due him from another when
he owes the man holding the stake,

rule can be worked effectively for
the benefit of Americans who have
