the world to which we must look for
the sale of our surplus products, are
many of them practically bankrupt,
They have purchased already to the
limit of their resources. The balance
of trade is so heavy against them that
their exchanges have deprecated to a
point where the cost of our goods
measured In the value OF their money
is all but Wohibitive.
OF course every possible aid, con-
sistent with sound finance and good
business, should be extended to the
devastated nations of Europe so that
their credits may be re-established
and their production increased to the
point where they can be self-sustain'
ing. yet 1t must be recalled that al
ready the nations of Europe owe this
government ten billions of dollars
and private concerns here have fin
anced them to the extent of several
billions. These credit advances are
more or less Invitations of credit and
it is questionable If 1t would be wise
to further embark upon a policy that
might temporarily ease the situation
by advancing prices, but which would
simply postpone the day of reckoning,
Many senators who advance
schemes for the relief of the situa-
ton are apparently ignorant of the
fundamental economic laws. They
fail to appreciate that legislation may
temporarily suspend but it can never
abrogate the law of supply and de-
mand. That law, like the laws Of
the abcent Modes and Persians, is
immutable.
1t would be best for all of us to
realize that the period of initiation,
of speculation. of high prices, is over
for the present. That there can be
no readjustment from higher to a
q g.
lower level without losses. We must
accept these losses as part of the
game of life" and stop forever going
to the government with all of our
troubles. There are many things
that legislation cannot do, notwith-
standing the popular present day
American idea that it is the cure all
for everything. If the people of
America will depend more upon their
own efforts less upon "government"
they will be infinitely better off.
This constant reliance upon govern
ment for the solution of problems
that can only be solved by the labor,
the sacrifice and the devotion of the
people will unless checked, Ultimate
ly undermine the American people
and make of our government a. burau-
ocracy comparable alone to that of
Germany and Russia before the re-
cent war.

 Head hunting is dying out among #le Dyaocks of British and Dutcl Borneo, according to missionaries as Nociated wit hthe Interchurch World foyament. Christian workers are 4aI.dly making them tame and bette, hen.
 The grnesome practice, which fol Centuries has given rise to q charge cannibalism against these Malay. ians, has recently been explained as

Massachusetts is
 Still Unable to
 Keep Rents Down

Boston, April 28.-Massachusett has not yet been able to make up for it's shortage of homes and keep rents from sky rocketing. A state commission on the necessaries of life is struggling with the problem, but meanwhile tenants in this city and elsewhere have obtained little re- lief. Several tenant groups recent ly refused to pay advances in rent demanded of them by joint action avoided eviction which would have been legal upon 30 days notice.
 Two hundred tenants at Revere have formed a corporation known as the Tenants league to combat rent increases and have annuonced that they will tolerate no more advances in rent and requested aid from the city's local department. The is sue there is still in doubt.
 An attempt to solve the problem by arbitration has been made in Brook lyn, a shoe manufacturing center. A board, composed of two tenants, two landlords and fifth member to be selected by the others, is to decide whether rents have been unduly ad- vanced when disputes arise between landlords and tenants.
 The commission on the necessaries of life has investigated the housing and rent problems and has contribut- ed a number of suggestions for theil solution, but as yet has made no formal report. It has urged the cities to form housing corporations ard take over and improve abandon ed tenements by working men who had moved to better ones. The commission found there were B. 900 tenements which were unoccupied because the landlords would not re- model them so as to make them fit for occupancy.
 At the suggestion of the commis- sicn a bill has been introduced into the legislature that would limit the return from investments in dwelling houses to eight per cent. The pur- pose of it is to prevent speculation in homes. The commissioners found that many builders had stopped con struction because of the high cost of labor and materials and had gone to speculating in real estate. The re- suit was that frequent sales of property were followed by advances in rent. In many cases tenants were forced out of their homes so that the landlords might demand higher rates from new occupants. Massachusetts corporations have attempted to re- lieve the housing shortage by erect

Dempsey was in England then, but could obtain no information ex- cept that Dempsey had been badly hurt, was alive and somewhere in a hospital.
 With his parents dead, no pal that he could find, and his nearest rela- tive 8 sister in East Africa, Capt. O'Donnell went thither and joined the Territorial police as trooper. Later he received his old kit bag, which had been lost. and in it was Dempsey's home address. He lost no time writing to this country. He wrote to Mrs. Rowland for news of his old comrade, "for," he said, "1 know how he dislikes to write, and likely he wouldn't get around to an- swer in long time."
 Mrs. Rowland immediately called her brother on the telephone. When he heard the news he yelled back: "Hurrah. Me for Tanganyika, damn the letter; Pm coming down on the quick! I can't wait for you to send night train to read it. Isn't it great!' How did the ouija board know?"

At times suffered almost constantly from se- were pains across my back. just over the kidneys.

I would get so weak and worn out l would have to sit down and rest several times a day. and felt tired all the time.
 "This condition made me awfully nervous, so that I rarely ever slept we'll at night. and every now and then I would jump in my sleep, as if in fright, and my condition was really becoming serious.
 "Only two bottles of Tanlac have brought about wonderful change in my condition. In fact, the re- suits I have received from this medi- cine have really surprised me. Those terrible pains in my back which used to trouble me every day have almost disappeared, and I am going to keep on taking Tanlac until they leave me entirely. I have lots of en-
