tives of foreign monarchies."
Individual economy being an effec..
tive weapon against the high cost of
living, Senator Norris declared the
President might have led the way.
In reply to a question as to what
he would have done. Senator Norris
replied:
II would not have taken $500 peo-
pie to advise me unless I expected to
take their advice. 1 would not have
had a ship go in advance of me to
receive me when I arrived, I would
not have taken the chefs and cooks
from the Biltmore Hotel.
II would not have given $4,000
to Barney Baruch and 1 would not
have taken the musicians of the Bilt-
more Hotel to play for me while
was eating"
Senator Norris declared the Presi-
dent paid no attention to any Of his
official advisers at Paris and said the
expenditures for them, therefore, ap-
peared useless.

interesting things. Went to Versail-
les one day, and went through the
palace and grounds OF the old rulers
of France. There are some very
beautiful paintings, tapestries and
statues in the building. Also was In
the Hall of Mirrors, where the peace
treaty will be signed and touched the
very old historic table on which so
many of Frances treaties have been
signed. Another very interesting
building was the Pantheon De- La
Care: It was round dome shaped
building and built especially for a
large war painting. The canvas is
hung from the ceiling and extends all
of the way around the room. The
painting represents the different AL
lies. All of the principal men, such
as the presidents, kings and generals
are represented by actual life size
paintings and behind them the diff
ferent armies. The landscape repre-
sents the different battle fields. The
artist worked four years painting 1t;
started In 1914 and finished In 1913.
1t is a very beautiful and realistic
painting. 1t has been raining here

BRIGHTER SKIES

X RADUALLY it is dawning upon
= the average business man that
the pre-war conditions are not
likely to be restored so far as prices
of commodities are concerned and
once this is thoroughly understood
it is more than probable that much
of the uncertainty which now exists
will disappear.
The United States is certain to re-
store the confidence that was some
what shattered by a misconception
of the conditions and the new levels
of cost; from every quarter comes
optimistic statements of the change
of view and the readiness of men of
vision to go ahead under full power.
Employers and employees are learn
ing everywhere that there must be
cooperation and not antagonism
that the only way the interests of
both can be conserved is through a
reasonable understanding of the
mutually of interest.
One of the most careful observers
of industrial conditions says "labor's
attitude, as expressed in interviews
with some leaders, is for a more
intimate discussion between en-
ployers and employees as to condi-
tions and arrangements, believing
that in this way friction may be
avoided" 1t is certain that labor in
this country is distinctly opposed
to Bolshevism.
Hoarded money is seeking dav-
light and with the circulation of
these idle funds there will come
more activity in business and indus
trial circles and an improvement in
the matter of employment. With
the actual signing of the peace
treaty and the restoration of normal
activities, it is reasonable to expect
a more contented attitude on the
part of the public and less of pessi-
mism, as a result of war fears and
the difficult war problems.
