THE WAY TO SAFETY

Premier David Lloyd George warns
the British people tina, they ar" spend
Ing too much money and producing too
little. With the heavy debt and great
interest obligations. the people are
poorer today than they wer" four yea
axo, Yet 1t seems TO be the dcsir" ~
every one TO live better. to spend more
money and to work shorter hours.
Lloyd Georges warning may we'll be
taken note OF BY the people OF the
United States. We have not undergon"
all the wastcful processes which Great
Britain has. but. like Great Britain. we
have been wasting q great deal OF real
wealth. Our mills. mines and factories
for the last four years have been turn
ing on: war materials instead Of tho
things that were used in everyday life
and which contributed 10 the perma-
nent welfare Of a people. We have
been destroying and wasting instead OF
Building up. and practically we are
Boorer today than VIC were on the first
OF August. 1914.
Yet most OF us are hugging the dclu-
MON that war has brought prosperity
that It has made wealth, that it will
make life easier for us all. On the con-
trsry, the real fact Is that there is to-
day Il her usef" goods i" the world
less to go around. less 10 divide up
and the only cure for this situation Is
to produce more, to grow more foods.
to make more clothing and TO build
more homes We are not going to do
these things with constantly shorten
ing hours and lessening production.
The whole world apparently needs &c
get back to sound working basis to
a realization Of the fact that the only
safe prosperity is based on industry
and thrift and that the only way 10
grow rich is to produce an abundanc"
OF al; the goods that mankind needs
and uses.

Not only does it seem to be quite
the smart thing to go in for exhibit

in between came about an average
calendar of routine Inequalities

parties as the two al fresCo functions
given in the garden or the comman-

thoughts of many Americans Travelled
far afield, away from the eighty
three national cemeteries, where tiny
flags decorate 100000 graves, to
France. where upward of 10000 of
the flower of American manhood lie
buried in more than 1000 cemeteries;

Women Loan Workers
Deserve Their Medals.

The very general distribution of
medals to all and sundry. on various
pretexts rather reminds one of the
plight Of the little teacher, who feared
to hurt the feelings OF the pupils who
didn't get prizes, and hit upon this
brilliant solution of her difficulty.
And so she gave some sort of prize
TO every single lad;
And one who never studied got
first prize for being bad.
However, il isn't quite fair to re-
call this bit OF foolishness from St.
Nicholas in the days of happy
memory in this connection, for there
isn't the shadow of a doubt that the
women who worked for the Victory
loan earned their medals and deserve
some sort or a memorial for their
labor. Particularly does Mrs. Stoner
deserve a decoration, for, if l mistake
not, under her direction the women's
committee turned in more subscrip-
tions than in any Of the previous
campaigns.
