War Brides.
(\eW York Tim leS.)

(NeW York Times)
 The statement in dispatch from Rrest that the last nf the war brides of the American soldiers left here yesterday for tho United States" is obviously premature for there are still American soldiers, considerable mum ber of them, on the continent, and it will be some time before France sees the last American soldier leave her shores. The eternal feminine in lcrestS Inc soldier wherever his lot IS cast. and the interest of woman in the roldier is constant and at the expense Of the civilian. who ofter has cause to dCnlOrc her tiCklenesS.
 In France the Young Women s Christian association mOthered the girls who ma rried American soldiers. IT am DrOud.' says one of the ladies active in he marital training Of bride and groom. "Of our American boys. So far as is known. only one war bride is coming back Of nearly }, >,N we sent 10 the United States.' And France may we'll be proud of the brides, whose ttractiveness and tenn pera entaI appeal account largely for this amazin" record.
 But the Y. w. c. A. seems to have been a factor in promotns domestic
 
 camps the husbands were detailed 10 do cooking and other hOuseWork and the brides were taught English and instructed in American customs through demonstrations, m owing pie lures and lectures" As a rule, the American husband cannot cook. and to call him "a handy man about the house" is to be facetious. Nor does the girl he marrios receive any train ing through demonstrations. moving pictures. and lectures" Apparently the marriage of the American soldier and the French girl coached by the Y. w. c. X. is not so much Of lottery Hs the conventional union in Am erica. Perhaps the divorce court would have less to 10 if a similar system of pro- lection and preparation were adopted on this side of the water.

Sometimes an obscure bit of the days news serves tn remind us that the 01d-timn brand of common sense is. still on tap in the judgments of very human persons. There is, for instance. the New York judge who fined a chauffeur $25 for speeding. then per mittod the prisoner to go on his own Tecognjzanro to get his fine together, The man returned after few hours and admitted that he could not boH- row that much money. on the judge s questioning wh% his employer would not advance the sum. the chauffeur re- Vealed that his boss had fired him

The Difference.

(NeW York WorId.)
 Americans believe that they have done the best possible for a weak and backward nation when they have helped it to govern itself successfully.
 Brtons believe that they have done the best possible for a weak and back ward nation when they have taken lr under British rule.
 These are two fundamental differ ences in the world outlook of the na- tions upon whom the welfare of civi- lization today chiefly depends. The disa greement is not question 10 be wrangled over or to T. made an occa- sion for criticism. But it is to be rec ognized as a eep-hoWipg influence m deciding contemporary history.

 900 shares, Recently a seat in the Exchange WIS sold for %l0O,O0O the highest price which has ever been paid and it is predicted that before the end of 1920 the ruling price for the seats will run as high as $780, GOO. A year ago d seat was hardly worth $50.O00.
 Thr reason for thiS state of affairs IS furnished by the government and It's income tax. The operator on the street Is taxed upon what he sells
 has realized upon his original invest nrent. Consequently the large spccula- tors who have seen handsome profit in the stocks which they have pur- chased on margin arc not particular lN anxious to dispose of them. should they do SO the federal authorities would appropriate large percentage of the profits under thc income tax law and the profits would not be US great to the operator. The con$"- quCnrc is that the stocks arc being held and will not be sold ;,t any price ;t all. at least until there has been q reduction in inc tax on incomes, which will not occur within a few years. With the stocks shc1d and the demand at normal. there is lcSscn- ing of he supply, consequently an in crease -n price.
 When Wall Street docs "hrcak" the tumble is very lia blc to he d heavy one. is liable to bring about d period of financial stringency hat is as marked as our present Afflucncc. Big money will suffer for the very condi- ton that it has created. But that break will not come about soon as there will be no attempt to sell off holdings at present. The fact that seats are selling at a high price is an indication that the brokers expect heavy tradingS. Commissions on sales arc the only redress they have for the price of the seats and thev must hope to do a thriving business to pav off the additional $50. 900 that seat costs this year, over last. A few wears ago a million share" day on the ENchance was a rarity, today it is not onlN common but the rule.
 There is q little hope for the casing of conditions in the stock market in the decision that i& DOW pending be- fore the Supreme Court as to the question of taxation on stock dividend issues. Should it be announced that stock dividends arc not taxable under the income tax law we shall see great deal of this surplus money go into the enlargement of manufa ctur- ing plants, stocI, dividends paving the costs and tho price or the original shares being Appreciated by the , amount of tho equity in the new issue There are few plants that can not afford to expand and some of them have the money to build for far in the future Tn building for the years 10 come. then. there are several pos Sbilitics, tho po&tponcmcnt Of a pos 1 Sible crash in stocks with the panic 1 strengthening of our industrial fa- ! ciltic* and tho supplying of jobs for 1 all who would work in the enlarged l plants
