Debt Collecting.

High tariff men want to raise the American
tariff higher to keep the American markets
clean Of European goods. But, Europe owes
the United States ten billion dollars. borrowed
during the war. The only way Europe can
pay the debt is by sending goods to America
There is not enough gold abroad to adjust the
balance, and America doesn't want the gold
anyway. America has enough metal for none
tary purposes as It is.
II the American tariff is revised. and the
exclusionists have their way, Europe will have
to default to the United states. That means
additional taxes must be imposed upon Ameri-
cans to make good the loss. It also means
higher prices in the United States for an in
definite period. Prices will come down as
Europe pays her debts to America; but bad
debt creates scarcity.
In the ordinary business OF life, creditor
who deliberately tries to prevent his debtor
from keeping solvent is obviously harming him
self. So it is in international finance. If
America prevents Europe from selling its
goods, the loss will come out Of the ten billion
| dollars owing this country. Nobody wants to
see the high standard Of living Of the Amer
lean working man jeopardized by permitting
| cheap foreign goods to overwhelm the Amer
lean markets. But reasonable trade with
| the rest Of the world must be maintained. The
vote catcher who says otherwise should be
invited to explain how he proposes to collect
that ten billions for the American people.

The charming simplicity Of Anne
is reached through a piquant his
tory. Its root is found in the He
brew Chaanach, signifying favor,
mercy or grace, and first known
as Hannah. mother of Samuel.
Whether the British custom of
dropping the preliminary ''h" orig
mated in those early days is not
automatically substantiated, but
certainly Hannah became Anna in
q very short time. Quite erron-
eously, the name was confused by
the Romans with their goddess
Anna Perrennia, presiding deity Of
the circling year.
st. Anna was q favorite with the
Byzantines from very early times.
In the days Of Christianity it reach
ed its greatest fame when it be-
came the name Of the mother Of
the blessed virgin. Later, all of
Europe adopted Anne with the ex-
ception of the Irish, who gave it
the charming Interpretation Of
