HANDICAP EUROPE
Serious load" in Develop
ment of Postwar Trade
With the U. S.

Higher producing costs In Euro
pean countries than in the United
States at the present time are view
ed by the federal reserve board as a
serious handicap to the development
of their postwar export trade to the
United States as means or paying
off their Indebtedness to this country
and lquidating purchases of raw
material The board points out In
it's Forthcoming bulletin for May. ac-
cording to an abstract made public
today, that higher costs in many
lines of manufacture place European
countries at a decided disadvantage
in competing with American pro-
ducers.
I'm many lines of production" the
board says, European costs are now
apparently higher than in the United
States, this being true of textiles ana
other items in which Great Brltali,
seemed formerly to enjoy decldeo
competitive advantage. The exist
ence of high money costs abroad will
necessarily alter the competitive
situation which had existed before
the war, and will raise the question
how foreign countries are actuaily "
pay off their Indebtedness unless the
price situation is favorable to snip.
ments of goods to the United States.
Predict Industrial Revival.
Marked revival of industrial activity
in the United States Is predicted as
a result of the "diSposition or Dust
ness to abandon the attitude or hesl-
tation and postponement' in the IN
creasing conviction that existing
prices and conditions will not be ma
terially altered for some time.
This disposition on the part OF
business" the board says. has rem
dered the question of control OF
prices by public authority less urgent
than it seemed to be few weeks ago.
What is now happening seems to in
dicate that business will. after a pc
riod of initial readjustment in prices;
proceed upon a level not far removed
from that established during the war,
leaving the question as to the ulti-
mate level of prices to the future and
to more slowly acting forces
Price reductions, owing to minated
credit conditions throughout the
world. can be effected only gradually,
the board says. by a change in con-
ditions of supply and demand.

QUEER OLD "MAGlC MIRROR
One in British Museum Known to Have
Been Used by Aztecs and
Ancient Mexicans.

Crystal gazing and the use of magic
mirrors played an important part in
religion and wizardry in the past. and
though almost every nation had its
own method these did not vary as
much as it would be supposed.
Thus while Japan had in her inner
temples mirrors which only the priest
saw, and which were always to reflect
the good and the beautiful for the
gods, the ancient Mexicans taught
that their god Texcatlipuco had a
magic mirror in which he saw every
thing that happened each day in the
world.
A real obsidian mirror with its
strange textile string still attached is
in the British museum now and was
used by the Aztecs and ancient Next
cans for various purposes and very
probably for crystal gazing. 1t is
much the same as the other crystals
used by so-called Wizards" so far as
it's shape is concerned. Even in recent
years crystal gazing has been prac-
ticed. and it is said by those who have
tried it that the mirror or crystal
seems to disappear into a mist after it
has been stared at in complete silence
for great length Of time, and then
If ever-the visions appear.

Revenge of a Reporter.

Doctor Gore, the retired bishop of
Oxford, has been one of the numerous
British victims of the American re-
porter. During visit to the Ameri-
can Episcopal church some years ago,
he was besieged in "city" of the
wild West by horde of copy-hunting
pressmen, who demanded his views of
various topical subjects, but he de-
clined to be drawn.
The next morning a purely fictitious
interview appeared in a local paper
giving at great length startling opin-
ions he was alleged to hold on various
topics, including some highly spiced
personal criticisms on local politicians
opposed to the paper.

Wonderful persian shaul.

Mrs. Bernard E. Grace, collector
of st. Louis, submitted a rare Per-
sian shawl at the New York Metropol-
itan museum. The owner had traced
its history back 163 years. The shawl
is eleven feet by four feet, worked in
long flowing designs of the palm leaf
and the River of Life with the stories
Of the mosques. The predominating
colors are mellowed garnets and
brown, with alternating sheens of steel
gray and rusty brown. A Washington
expert to whom the shawl was shown
said its makeup probably represented
the lifetime Of the weavers.

HAD THE SPIRIT OF GERMAN. !
Old Man Green Might Have Been .

A senator was discussing one Of
the German counter-propositions.
