the armed neutrality. or the quiet
mutual contempt, or the more
open anfagonism that so frequent
ly cursed the relations Of father
and son IN this reckless age were
lost.
This, too. is a fire that must be
kept aiight on the national affairs.
Dad has his faults. but, after all.
he has given a lot, and suffered n
lot. and sacrificed lot. and prob
ably loved a lot, for yoi, his son.
And while he IS. perhaps. a bit
hard boiled; a bit unapproachable:
while his Joints are rusty and his
back rather stiff. stiil at heart he's
dad, and he thinks more OF you
nan anything else in the world.
and he would rather get your con-
: Nfidence. and in you renew his
youth, than do anything else. so.
brush up against the good side OF
dad, young man; thaw him out a
bit: treat him more like he was
alive instead of mummified relic
in an attic of antiquity.
And, father, ease off bit on
your thirst for dollars. Don't be
so intolerant Of youth. See IL you
can get the boys viewpoint. Give
him a chance: maybe you'll find
lot to him you had been missing.
He is blood of your heart, and
bone OF your flesh. and strength
Of your soul. You brought him
here without his consent; you owe
him something more than meal
ticket and an education, and you
owe yourself the deep satisfaction
that comes to the father who
knows his boy is going right; and
going to his fight glad he's backed
by dad
Next Monday evening there In
father and son banquet for the
sole purpose of promoting this sort
OF fellowship. Fathers and sons
who have been missing a lot OF the
Joy OF life that they mutually
might enjoy can do nothing better
than to date up each other for the
evening, and meet all these other
fathers and sons.
The family is the first and last
chance Of every nation, and a fam
ily united Is invincible.
We Americans do wonderfully
well by our wives and children. SO
far as making a living" for them
is concerned: but when 1t comes to
really living with them, we are

NEED BILLION FOR
RAW MATERIAL

"A billion dollars will go a very
long way" Mr.. Vandcrlip stated. in
starting Europe on its way to pro-
duction. But II must be billion
dollars spent for food and raw ma
terials. II mustn't be a billion dol
lars spent ON any financial rehabilita-
ton.
This is the first move necessary
to help the exchange rates recover.
The present decline In exchange
tends now to halt our exports. 1t
is conceivable the halt might occur
very sharply.
now going to Europe without full
cargoes. Last year we exported eight
billion dollars worth OF goods and
the trade balance In our favor was
four billions. In pre-war days a
trade balance OF $500. 100000 for us
was about the top figure.
These figures indicate that II the
halting OF our exports goes far
enough Il will result in n jar that
will pile up cotton. agricultural
products and to some extent manu-
factured goods. / do not believe
such a situation would result in any
serious unemployment for us. There
might be some thrown out of work
while a process OF readJustment went
on, but very little hardship would
follow. Our consuming capacity is
greatly In excess OF our present con
sumption.
1T is rather psychological that we
should feel continuation OF the
present decline In exchange. The
situation now facing us means the
people on the other side are unable
to pay for what they vitality need
and that their economic life has be-
come disorganlzed.
"E conomic disorganlzation In
Europe must have an unfavorable
influence on our own affairs. IL

be body sympathetic to any po-
litical disorders in Europe. An In

litical movements in Europe. The

the point to insist that Europe must

tainly, Europe must work, but 1t

SAGE TEA DARKENS
 HAIR TO ANY SHADE Don't Stay Grayl Here's an Old-tirne Recipe that Any
 body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for TO. storing faded, gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark. glossy and attrAc- tive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance. this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home Is mpssy and out date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for 8 bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other in- gredients. which can be depended up- on to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says 1t darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, 1t becomes beautifully dark and glossy
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound Is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.
