RUMANlANS ARE PROUD
DECLARES RED CROSS

BUCHAREST, July 12.-Red Cross
field workers here have noticed that
one of the most striking traits in the
Rumanian people is their sense of pride.
With all the misery and poverty Of the
poor, they never beg. They are always
content with what the Americans give
them.
At the distribution centers there Is
never complaint, protest or clamor. The
RumanianS are always grateful for what
they get, however little It may be.
Probably no people on earth endure
hunger and suffering with more resig-
nation and patience.

I 49, does something worth while. 1t is always worth
IL while to live noby, VIGOROUSLY, struggling always
to do the right, showing the world even the small
est fragment of divine beauty.
- A disposition to dwell on the good of life. to
appreciate its blessings to the fullest, to look with joy on the bright
side of things, to feel grateful for what We have; in other words, the
optimistic spirit adds greatly to our comforts and enjoyments. 1t
by strengthening its heart to bear them. 1t works the perpetual
miracle of turning the water into wine, by making everything sweet
er, more delightful and more helpful. 1t also adds an undefinable
grace to character.
The following conversation was overheard by us while walking
along the street recently: Two negroes we're talking. One of them
had just had the misfortune of a rather painful injury to one Of his
hands. which he was carrying in a sling.
John, youse had a right hard time wild dat hand, hasn't your
worser!"
While suffering, he was nevertheless thankful and grateful,
What a lesson to many Of us, and what a rebuke to those of US
who are forever whining and complaining about our lot in life!
When you find yourself becoming ungrateful, why not try at least
to look on the bright side" like this man was doing and think
how much better off you are, perhaps, than many other people?
The world has no place today for the chronic grumbler-the man or
woman who always has a crouch.

Su .KS--Drop in Price
Fails to Stimulate Sales

Although importers and dealers in
raw silks have moved their quotations
down about DO cents pound within
the last two days, silk mills and other
users of the raw product are still
adhering to their conservative buying
policies. Sinshiu No. l, which reached
high level of S13.75 a pound, is now
quoted at 1880. The recling season
IN Japan is drawing to close and
the reeling factories. or fiiatures. AS
they are called, will close for the two
months of the wn,.. period. This
means that little new supplies will
come into the Japanese market, where
80 per cent of the silk used in this
country originates. The present sup
ply of raw silks in the Yokohama
marnet is placed at about 10000 bales,
half of the supply last year
Manufacturers of goods say that
present supplies of raw silks held up
by the present slow throwing or spin
ming are sufficient to run them for a
few months without purchasing addi-
tional supplies now. One large silk
firm, which purchases its raw stock
and has it thrown by an outside con-
cern, reports that stock given the
throwsters last July is still undc-
livercd.

u. S. Commerce With
Argentina Expanding

American exporters yesterday we're
urged to pay greater attention to our
growing trade with the Argentine by
Senor T. A. lie Breton. ambassador
from that country to the United States,
McAlpin, held under the auspices of
the American Manufacturers Export
Association Senor lie Breton present
ed figures showing the growth of Ar
gentina's foreign trade in the last few
years and the increasing proportion of
that trade that is being gathered in by
the United States. Imports into the
Argentine for the first nine months
this year, he said, were $117,750, ,OOO
more than three times what they were
in 1913. He said that during 1918 only
10 per cent of the steamers docking in
Buenos Ayres flew the American flag.
"The Argentine has an abundance of
money" he said, "and there is no need
70 extend to that country long credits.
The Argentine merchant is willing to
pay upon receipt of the goods" He
urged greater attention to the OBJ
servance of packing directions issued
by Argentine merchants, the filling of
orders according to sample and the de-
livery of goods when promised Leg
is alton is now pending, he said, which
will dispense with the separate licenses
for travelling foreign statesmen re-
quired in each state in the Argentine
and substitute therefor a federal IL
censc. This has been drawback to
American sa esmen.
American banks are aiding in the
growth of trade with the Argentine,
according to Arthur H. Titus. vice
president of the National City Bank
and in charge of the banks Latin
American branches. They entered the
field late he said. but by perseverance
built up a business on American lines,
instead Of the old methods used by
British, French and other foreign
banking concerns. The American banks
in Argentina, he asserted, we're acting
as censors on American business and
protecting the native buyer against un-
scrupu Gus exporters here.
Recent figures supplied him, he said,
show that American exports to Argen-
tina this year were two and a half
times as large as last year, and that
the pronorton of American goods go
ing into the Argentine in November r,
compared with goods Of other origin,
was larger than during war times,
when America was almost the sole
source OF supply for the Argentine
buyer.
Philip B. Kennedy, director Of the
Bureau OF Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, in a short address struck note
of optimism regarding our foreign
trade prospects.

Urges Education to
Check Aoifofors

Lewis z. Picrson. chairman Of the
Irving National Bank, yesterday in an
address before the Prospect Heights
citizens Association, urged "cam-
palgn OF education" to check subversive
propaganda of Bolshevik agitators.
I'm this present emergency" the
banker said. "it is up to every sincere
American-big or little business man,
farmer, lawyer, laborer. teacher, me-
chanic, truck driver or clerk, to bear
his part of the nation'e burdcn-to
make his personal weight count for the
stablllzing of social and industrial con-
d'tlons and tho restoration of produc-
ton standards which will again pro.
vide Tor our own and Europc's needs.
This is the steady. everyday lob of
every American, Whatever his Mace.
however narrow his sphere of influence.
In our anxiety to live up to the new
word position and opportunity which
the other nations have been assigning
us, we have been getting away from
the fundamental American idea. We
are democracy, with faith in the
rlght thinking and right action of our
own people. We have our own future
" WV ONN ~ tViliplSN luluTP because
Of the diverse races and cultures which
have come to us in our later immigra-
tlon--but n future rich in possibilities
because of that mingling of so many
Old World bloods and apttudes."
In seeking to answer to the common
question. "If all the world is in debt
to America, why haven't we more our
selves" the banker said:
I'm trying to find the answer we
overlook four important facts First.
large part Of this foreign debt to us
represents war loans Of our govern
ment to other governments; it does
not belong to individuals. Second, our
exports in recent years have been made
up largely Of foodstuffs, raw materials
and munitions, the profits on which
have gone rather directly to farmers
and other restricted groups of pro-
ducers. Third, much of the national
dividend has been absorbed in wage
end salary advances, high rentals and
heavy expenditures for new construc-
tion and equipment for temporary war
uses. Fourth, the enormous shipments
of foods, clothing, shoes and other nee
cssaries to Europ must CON
tlnue for time until Europe has
again restored something like balance
between production and consumption
have been responsible for the rise in
prices which has neutralzcd the ad
vance in wages, salaries and individual
profits"
