France and the Prize Fight.

Again we are assured by Mr.. Herbert
Hoover that unless we guarantee the credit of
Europe, our own domestic affairs will suffer,
especially our trade in foodstuffs This. re-
duced to simple terms, means that Americans
must produce the stuff and then sell it to
Europe, to be paid some time, but when no one
can say. For guaranteeing the credit of Europe
amounts to paying ourselves out of our own
pockets for whatever we send abroad We are
doing this right now. the secretary of the treas
ury having agreed to fund the interest on the
$l0.OO0,000000 loan to Our associates in the
late war, which means half billion annually
added to the debt until the moratorium is
ended. He also has agreed to accept for Gus
toms dues European money at its prewar value
thus reducing the national revenue and af-
fording that much of an advantage to the for
eign shoppers.
Viewing this situation, it must be something
OF shock to read that Frenchman has Of
fered million dollars to have the privilege of
staging prize fight at Paris. AS this is con-
trasted with the pleas for assistance, help
needed that the war-riven lands may recover
and get back to a self-sustaining basis, common
sense is challenged. If the French can outbid
of brute force, is it NO possible that they may
do little something towards helping them
selves out of their financial and industrial
slough?
Of course, people must be amused, and Just
as the backwoodsman sold the cook stove to
buy circus tickets, so folks today will give up
their own pleasures last of all sacrifices. Yet why
should Americans continue to bear the brunt of
all relief work, while others find large sums
available to spend frivolously? France is not
alone in this, and while we are so earnestly
preaching to Our home folks to give over ex-
travagant ways in order to remedy existing con-
ditions Of pro6teering, why not pass the word
overseas, and induce our friends abroad to fol-
low similar course? 1t is we'll enough to aid
the French to obtain foodstuffs, but a prize
fight seems to put strain on generosity.

WOMAN AND THE PRICE OF EGGS.

Interest In the victory claimed by the women
of Lincoln over the high cost of eggs is tenn
pered somewhat by the thought that most Of
the problem is finally in her hands. She is the
purchasing agent of the home, and as she
spends wisely or foolishly, so doees the house,
hold budget stand or fall. II is hardly worth
repeating this, though, for the housewife has
been told Of it so often. She has other things
TO perplex and distract her, but the fact re-
mains that it she will concentrate on her first
job, that OF looking after the purchases for the
home, she can exert wonderful influence on
the course of merchandising. Lincoln women
have won their first battle quite handily, simply
because they are we'll organized and operate as
unit They yet have higher hills to surmount.
for eggs are but single item in the bill Of
household expense Some of the other prices
may not be so easily toppled. but persistence
will have its effect. What was done there may
be done here and everywhere. Concerted action
brings results. The woman who spends the
household money carelessly is contributing to
the profteers. In Omaha the larger part of the
women are occupied from payday to payday,
trying to solve the problem of how to make
the funds on hand meet requirements. It is not
needed to urge on them economy, for they are
devoted to it Of necessity. To these any con-
cession in prices is relief, and none of them
require urging to join movement that will ac-
complish saving in living costs. The trouble
is, not many of them have time for crusading,
but if some one will show the way, followers
will not be lacking long.

Company Stores and Country
Shops

Fifteen thousand operatives of the Wooden
Trust in Lawrence Mass, demonstrated" yes
terday in the streets in support OF the threat
Of President Wood to supply goods at cost II
the local merchants do not cut down their
prices. ),
In any factory town the factory owner could
undersell the corner shop by selling at cost
though the company store is not always cred
tied with so altruistic purpose. But American
public opinion instinctively insists upon. the
right of the retail merchant to make living
BY the useful service of gathering and distribut-
ing goods. If he is driven out of town by some
paternalistc factory owner in control OF mil
lions who is to guarantee that the company
store will not raise its own prices to the proht-
yielding level? :,
As between the prohteering of vast textile
company that confesses making seven years
gains in two years, and that OF some petty re-
tailers, there should be little difficulty in dis
tinguishing the greater tax upon the community
IL the retailers of Lawrence are driven out OF
business at an age when some would Ind it
hard to get new work. how are they to pay tor
clothing at the prices that yield such profits to
> the Wooden Trust? How are some OF them to
avoid coming on the town as burden to tax
payers?
Price-pro6teering is too big and complex a
problem to be settled by the method OF the big
stick The small retail merchant earns com,
monty a modest livelihood by hard work and
long hours Society is not ready to dispense
with him. If it were, it might not turn con.
fdently for relief to the average exponent OF
high finance in big business--New York World.

Decision. That Do Not Decide.

Two great and momcntous issues have been
put aside recently on pretexts rather than sound
exposition of the law in the case. One of these
has to do with the packers, the other with war
time prohibition.
In the first mentioned is involved princi-
pie that must sooner or later be accepted or
rejected in its entirety. American people can
not 60 on forever timidly dreading the presence
and power of gigantic combinations of men or
money. They will some time be called upon to
decide if there is limit other than that set by
good business management beyond which a
corporation can not expand its activities. The
suits against the packers might have taken the
country step nearer to this determination, but
they have been abandoned, merely because the
defendants bowed to public opinion" which
may OF may not have been right, and the main
proposition is left for future consideration and
adjustment.
When the wartime prohibitory law was be-
fore the supreme court, more than mere quib-
bic was involved, and yet the opinion deciding
the issue turned on technicality that is little
more than bubble. Holding that a state of
war theoretically exists, although we are no
longer under arms and in the field, the court
give its sanction to the Volstead act without
passing on its merits.
In each Of these instances serious-minded
lawyers note quality of evasiveness that is dis
turbing. These men had looked for a we'll rea-
soned and Illuminating discussion of the prin-
cipies involved, but note the one suit abandoned
and the other adjusted on basis that leaves
the main points open for further trial. Fol-
lowing the line of the least resistance is not al
ways helpful when solid results are more
needed than mere convenience for procedure.
Yet this is the history of the nation to
great extent A few great issues have been de-
cisively hammered out, but generally conf
promise is effected and the final reckoning post
poned The plan is Disappointing, but it is also
popular, and so has been tolerated, despite It's
manifest dangers.

Alchemists Still Active

Before getting too excited over the report
that Sir Ernest Rutherford has solved the prob
lem of transmutation, which the alchemists Of
old worked at in vain, attention should be paid
to the fact that it is Paris paper, not Sir
Ernest, that makes this claim The alchemists
sought to turn base metals into gold and silver,
but the modern scientist has no such expecta-
ton, and though for years past he has been
coming to doubt more and more the existence
of more than one real element" everything
he learned has indicated that when one So
called element shall be turned into another
the transmutation will be from higher to lower
forms and therefore improbable, as profit was
understood by the experimenters of other days.
To raise the atomic and dynamic grade of
substances probably requires nothing less than
the collision Of sun with sun and starting
over of the evolutionary cycle. OF turning gold
to lead there is some chance, but the turning
of lead to gold is quite another matter.
Still, one shouldn't be too sure about even
this. With the law Of gravtation headed to-
ward the waste basket other certainties assume
a somewhat pallid hue and walk delicately in
stead Of stamping along the way they used to
do.-New York Times.

know that every day you spend in
school is worth real money to you?
You are earning while you're learn

What do you mean by that?"
II mean that the longer you stay
i'll school the more money you can
earn when you leave. Girls who 60

Government figures show that the
average salary of a girl who leaves
school at ID is only two-hfths as
much as the salary of the girl who
finishes high school. The girl who
finishes high scool receives in all.
by the time she is Is years of age,

Is who started to work at the end of
grammar school. This was earning
over So day for every day spent
in school. 1t is just like having $780,
600 in the bank when you finish high
school for you have $4,000 worth Of
earning power.
There are also other reasons why
you should stay in school. Going to
work too soon stunts a girls phys
ical growth, to say nothing of her
mental growth. She doesn't get
enough outdoor exercise to develop
the way she should. The work gives
her little chance to improve herself,
and her earnings will only increase
little with time. The good positions
with future and with a regular
raise in wages demand school train
ing.

citizen you become. An uneducated

cares more for his own record than
foi the team and, as result, shoots
| too often, or at times when another
member of the team has a better
opportunity. The stationary for
ward will generally use some form
of the close shot
The forward who plays the floor
must develop speed and endurance
first of all. He plays the floor from
one end to the other. It is his duty
to prevent scoring by the opposing
guards. He digs out the ball, when
it is in the opponents possession,
and works it toward his own
basket. He should be an expert in
passing. He feeds the ball to the
stationary forward whenever the
latter is in a position to shoot. The
speedy forward must be able to
shoot from any position.
Some teams use fve-man defen-
sive game. which makes both for
wards combination of the station
airy and speedy floor types. But
most teams stick to the Older forma-
ton. So if you are trying out for a
position as forward, find out which
type you are fitted for and then
work to perfect yourself in the
qualifications necessary to that type.

The Basketball Forward.

A good forward has two main
qualifications. First, he should be
able to shoot baskets cleverly and
accurately. Second, he should be
shifty. elusive and able to move
about the floor with sufficient rapid
ity to lose his guard frequently.
Then he should drill himself in piv-
oting, side-stepping and dribbling.
There are usually two types of
forwards on a team-the Camping"
or stationary forward and the floor
man. The camping forward plays
almost entirely under his own
basket. He should work out ways
of eluding his guard so that when
ever he receives the ball he may try
for shot, if near the basket, or, If
farther away, pass to someone bet
ter situated than he. He should
work to develop accuracy in making
close shots. He should know when
to shoot and when to pass to some
