MAKE MONEY WORK

Many people wonder why. when
there is more money in the country
than. ever before. II is so hard to
borrow. The banks have shut down
on some branches Of speculative and
I non essential loans, but they are still
willing to lend to the ordinary business
man or investor for legitimate and de-
sirable purposes. They cannot do so
because they haven't got the money.
The chief reason why they haven't
got 1t is found in the statement, made
by financial authority, that people
are carrying the money around in their
pockets. The average citizen. he says,
habitually totes around with him now
fiye to eight times as much cash al
he used to. 1t is one OF the curious
results of an imitation that gives so
many people so much more money
than they used to have. Many of them
are not accustomed to banking their
money and most of them enjoy the
comfortable feeling 1t gives them of
having bulging wad in their pocket
book
So IL works out about like this: Mr.
Jones wants to borrow $1,000 from the
bank around the corner. to carry over
his goods or to help pay for hous,
and he can't do 1t. because ten Of Mr..
Jones' neighbors each have 500 In
their pockets that ought to be in the
bank.
The rich don't carry much money
with them-they keep their money
working. It is people unaccustorned
to money that do 1t. All those should
learn that money is not merely some
thing to buy things with. but an i'm
portant part OF the economic system
that wealth put to use makes wealth
for the community and everybody in
1t, while money lying idle is like an
unused house or machine.
When all money not needed for i'm
mediate purposes is put I'm the bank
IL Is fed out through the arteries OF
business. 1t stimulates industry. 1t
enables people to pay their debts--and
their creditors in turnepay their debts
and so on indefinitely. The essential
thing Is to keep 1t moving. The faster
II moves. the more profit 1t makes for
everybody, just as a machine running
faster turns out a greater product.
The most prosperous community is
not the one where every man or wo-
man carries roll of bills. but the one
where the people put their money into
the bank and pay their bills by check.
That creates banking power, and
banking power makes economic power
and multiplies wealth.

THE "FARMER-nABoR PARTY

DAILY NEW SONG.

Citizens of Madison, Wis, learned a
song day recently when members of
the community music class at the
state university carried on a siren
uous campaign to that end. Dali,
newspapers printed the words of each
song as its day came. Then the stu
dents went forth into theatres, stores
and even homes, and taught the song.
This went on for 2S days, at the end
OIL which period large proportion of
the population of the city had actually
ADDED 2S new songs to its repertory.
Certainly learning new songs never
hurt anybody. Community singing.
too, has been shown again and again
to be wholesome recreation for the
group indulging in it.
There Is yet another beneficial
phase Of this almost compulsory song
learning. No doubt those 2S songs
are of q better type than the catchy.
popular songs which go the rounds.
and which, during their brief stay i'm
any community are sung and played
without ceasing, to the mental dis

popular song sufferers should escape
their usual anguish Madison is to

scoURGE KILLS MORE THAN WAR
Extract from Gable Sent by Henry r
Davidson Head Of Red Cross.

Paris, March 24.-No matter how
many treaties are signed or not sign
cd. world peace will not be established
until Central Europe and the Near
East are thoroly cleansed and disin-
fected.
America is Just as unsafe as Europe
from typhus and the white plague now
spreading over the world with light
ming rapidity.
Two million three hundred thousand
infected Russian refugeesare now press.
ing against Western Europe's border
in their mad rush westward. in the
hope of escaping death under the most
horrible conditions.
Conditions as bad as in Russia pre-
vail in Hungary. Serbia. Austria. Mon
tenegro. Turkey and Syria and turnout
the near east. Poland is especially
severely stricken.
More people are daily dying now
than during the war.
Whole populations are being wiped
out. The fatal germs pass from one
country to another, owing to the lack
of sanitary devices.
Unless quick relief is provided the
world will see n tragedy greater than
that of the last five years.
Montenegro. for instance. with It's
population of 10000. has only four
doctors. no hospital supplies and no
medicines. The same applies to the
whole of Eastern Europe.

"CHRIsTLANIzATION" AND
."AMERICANIZATION'

President Leo NJ. Franklin. of the
Central Conference of American Rah-
bis. has made public the results of n
Conference between representatives of
the Federal Council of Churches Of
Christ in America, the Home Missions
Council. and the Central Conference
of American Rabbits held IN New Yorl,
City on March Sth. at which Il clear
understanding was reached on the
question of "AmericaniZatiOn," and
"Christianization" which grew out OF
the discussion of the subject before
the Episcopalian Convention in De-
trOit last year.
As result of this Conference. the
following Resolution defining the pc
sition of those concerned was adopted
unanimously. and since approved by
the Administrative EeXecutive COM
mittee of the Central Conference Of
American Rabbis.
The Resolution.
1. That we apprecite this oppor-
iunity for the free exchange of thought
and conviction between representa-
tives of the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America, the
Home Missions Council and the Cen
trail Conference of American Rabbis.
.. That we disclaim. and deplore.
the use of the term Characterization
in any case where it is made to mean
or to imply that there is no distinc-
ton between the words "Americaniza-
ton" and Christianization." or carries
the implication that Jews. or people
of other religions and other races. are
not good Americans. No church
should use the term Characterization
as cloak for proselytins to its dis
tinctive religious views.
3. That we desire to cooperate with
each other as brethren. in all efforts
Tor Americanization and for promoting
righteousness in the American people.
4. That we express the desire for
further conferences and continued fel-
lowship.
1--WE call particular attention to the
second paragraph in the statement
said Rabbi Franklin. 1t should he
added that the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America rep
resents practically all the Protestant
churches in this country.
