A Real Suggestion.

One new measure presented in this short
session Of the expiring congress merits gen.
erous thought 1t is bill prepared by Con-
Eressman M. Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania, and
n deals with the very acute housing problem
: Briefly, the Kelly bill proposes to make ef
,fecttve use Of the postal saving system. Under
the present law. no individual can deposit more
than 81 900 in postal savings; only per cent
10 paid on deposits, and the money 50 deposited
Ia Immediately turned over to the banks Of the
country at ~ per cent interest Needless to
say this Same money is then loaned out by the
banks and at much higher interest
Kelly proposes to take the limit of deposits
In the postal savings system: to provide that
ld6eositors shall be paid per cent interest, and
that these postal savings funds shall then be
lubad. At per cent interest, for the building
Of AouseS
/ Needless to say, there is a conflict here be-
tween the people who would like houses and
at ths same time like to see the postal savings
systsm made moro useful. and some bankers
who orc satisfied with the present system.

Helping the Enemy.

Perhaps its Just press agents story, but
1t any rate Chicago mothers are said to have
appealed to the police authofitief for suppress
sion Of alleged immoral features in theatrical
production that has recently opened in that
city and has been playing to capacity audi
ences 1t top prices.
The complaining mothers are declared to
have reported that the show is unfit for the
eyes OF their daughters. There is . way to
cure the tendency among some theatrical man
ayers to 1aunt Righteousness before the foot
lights, but it is not through such campaign
as is said TO have been begun in Chicago. The
result in Chicago will be that the show will
do a greater business and the offending man
ager will chuckle in his sleeve at the success
full manner In which he has worked the public.
Newspaper reviewers can be depended upon
to censure immoral stage exhibitions. Most
Of the reviewers in Chicago said in their pa
pers that the production referred to was OBJ
jectionable. That should have been enough
for the mothers. They and their daughters
should have remained away from the theatre
presenting the offensive show. II they had
done so the manager would have had his lesson
and he would not have repeated the offensive
mass that characterizes the present per-
formances

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I go with
a girl four years younger than my
self. We have been going together
for seven months and we have had
q good time until of late. l do all l
can to please her.
Can you tell me how to keep her,
for we are drifting apart although
she gives up everything for me-
She is acting very strange and will
not give any reason for it. BOB. {
Perhaps you have asked the girl
to give up too many things for you
and she has grown tired of it. Do
not ask for reasons why she is
acting strange. Try not to notice
Probably the best thing for you to
do would be to see her less often
than you have been doing.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
girl q years old and am engaged
to a fellow % years old. My mother
told me that when married him
left her and my home forever.
She said: HE has no bad habits
and would make. good provider
for you, but I just don't like him
and that Is all there is to it. You
can 60 to him if you want. I don't

a high-born, cultured American

This very minute. by his side, sat

he had felt much elatsd that now
she seemed not . great deal averse

Of success that set the lad wild to

such . remedy for an individual
case without having personally

whether exercise is advisable, and

! A good many victims OF such ssr-

ill-advised exercise, even such mod

is nothing less than foolhardy foa
any victim Of that disease to take
SO much as a stroll around the

Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain de-
clares further wars are inevitable if nations
continue to arm. He holds that the only as
surance Of world peace 10 through universal
agreement to abandon all preparations for war.
the rest OF the world to attempt adoption Of
the program he proposes without cooperation
of the United States ~
The next congress will determine the status
the United States is to assume in reference to
defensive precautions. Mr.. Harding has let it
be known that he will favor plan whereby it
would be impossible for nation to take the
initiative in war withou: referendum vote Of
the people of that nation
OF the two proposals the sincere advocate OF
world peace can see that the one by the British
premier is the more practicable. but it is doubt
full If it will be concurred in by the United
States government, at least not until the ele-
ments OF distrust and deception that prevail
among European powers are dissipated.
There will be some form of peace league,
but 1t is unlikely that there will be an agree
ment for general disarmament. The feeling
in the United States is that it will take genera
tons to destroy the germs Of hate and rivalry
that curse the principal governments OF
Europe and that just so long as the infection
remains there is no certainty against outbreaks
such as set the world on fire few years ago.
In the meantime. the likelihood is that the
United States will continue to maintain an ade-
quate army and navy, not for the purpose Of
aggression but merely to be in shape to NEE,
any emergency that may arise.
In other words. the United States will con-
tnue to attend strictly to its own knitting, and
will expect other nations to do likewise How.
ever, if any European power assumes to trans
gress on American rights it will discover thai
it will have serious trouble on its hands. Thu
United States is not looking for trouble or in.
viting it, but it isn't going to be caush,
