She for gets that she has such a thing as a husband and spends months going on one wild party after another. Mean while Martin, left to his own re- sources, makes friends with a chorus girl.

Trade Convention held recently in Chicago: James A. Farrell, presi- dent of United States Steel Corpora ton, expressed the feelings of the large manufacturers when he said, We must not forget that foreign trade Is net ene-sided. Expansion of our exports is not attainable without corresponding expansion of our inn ports,'' and the lesson will come with new force, that to sell we must also buy" William Pigott, presi- dent of the Seattle Car & Foundry Co.,, agreed that there is nothing sound in the expectation that we can do all of the selling and none of the buying; and Alba Johnson, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works. asked, Where can our principal buy CTS find the money to buy from us, if we buy nothing from them?''
 The same view was taken by the bankers present. Fred I. Kent, vice president of the Bankers Trust Co.,, estimated the annual balance in fa- yor of the United States a s1,00O,- GOO, ,000 and said. Unless this sum is absorbed in some manner through additional imports, etc, our natural export trade cannot be main- tained or increased.' This was fully concurred in by the leading foreign trade merchants. John F. Fowler, vice president of w. R. Grace & Co.,, claimed that the extension of our foreign trade was long hampered by the idea of selling only, without re- ciprocal buying; and w. E. Peck. president of Peck x Co.,, insisted that If we are to sell by billions. we must take foreign goods as liberally.''

PRODUCERS FAVOR IMPORTS.

The United States Is now facing difficult situation: in 1918 we exported three billion dollars worth of goods more than we imported; we are now to receive half a billion dollars a year in interest on our loans to belliger- ents. The gold does not exist with which to pay such sums, nor is it pos sible to stimulate our investments abroad to a point sufficient to offset such a balance. It Is clear that if we are to maintain our exports, on the existence of which depends so much of our national prosperity, it will be necessary materially to in crease our imports of foreign goods. both raw and finished.
 This situation was clearly recog- nized at the Sixth National Foreign with a. wealth of tropical foliage, and the interior of a Norman church. In the supporting cast are seen Theo- dore Roberts, Jack Holt, Milton Stills and Fritzi Brunette.
 Pauline Frederick's choice of lead ing men seems to have settled on Mil- ton Stills, who is to appear opposite her in her next Goldwyn picture. He has just finished with her in ''The Fear w oman.

r. f. Herman

IF a brotherhood of nations is TO sup
plant the neighborhood spirit which was so
nearly destroyed by the war, 1t must be
based on mutual understanding and sym
pathy." said Dr. T. +. Herman, OF the East
ern Theological Seminary. OF Lancaster, adj
dressing the Women's club, of Cynwyd on
''Russia-Promise or Menace.
"'Those who know Russia best" he said,
ARE most optimistic in regard to her future.
The American attitude of distrust is due to
ignorance and indifference. the real Russia
can be found in study of her history the
story of the revolution, and in her ltera-
lure No country except Russia has put her
soul into her fiction, and the fiction of Rus
sia reveals a soul deeply ethical, never
cynical. a truly democratic faith in man, an
ardent, unwavering belief in universal
hrotherhood a religion based on the Sermon
on the Mount, a humor that rests ON a quiet
substratum of happiness and throgh all an
absolute faith in God and trust in man.

the Federal Board for Vocational Education.

sara that many OF those who had been
manned in the war we're spoiled for the
future by being feted too much and adored
as heroes when they reached their own home
towns He cited several cases where young
men had virtually refused to undertake to
learn new trades after being untitled by their
wounds for continuing work at their old
trades because, they said. they didn't need
70 work now
After n time man tires of such idleness
ana false honor, and he either gets mentally
sl'h ana respondent or gets quite crooked in
MS methods. and begins to prey upon people
instead OF trying to earn living. Mr..
Lowell asked every one to send word of any
manned soldiers. sailors or marines OF whom
they might have knowledge TO the educa tional
headquarters In this city. No. 1916 South
Penn Square
lie said that one OF the chief difficulties
the Federal educational system is fighting is
that of getting hold of the maimed men when
they have been returned to this country. They
inter back to their own districts. and, unless
promptly taught to pull themselves together
and md out what there IL left in life for
them, lie said they reached mental stage
