immigration would tend to help this,
and it is significant that immigration
authorities report that foreigners are
coming to this country as fast as the
limited transportation facilities can
bring them, and that there is every evi-
dence that even with the postwar pass
port restrictions there would be the
greatest rush of people to this country
ever known if there were only ships to
bring them. But as at present the sup
ply of labor and materials and capital
is strictly limited, our attention, once
we get labor to recognize the necessity
for maximum production, would better
be given to seeing that production is
properly directed, that it is not mis-
guided, that we have maximum produc-
ton of the right things, and not of the
wrong things. A restoration of gov
ernment restrictions and 'priorities :,
though it may now be forced by the rail-
road congestion, is to be avoided where
possible. Such restrictions are usually
clumsy and arbitrary, tie business in a
tangle of red tape and are often stupid.
There is no danger of general over
production But condition of unbal-
anced production already exists, and this
condition threatens to become more Sc
rious unless it is recognized in time and
the proper remedy-voluntary thrift
applied"
On the basis Of last weeks bulletin

The Hundred Yard "DriUe"

What was the extent Of this demonstration, Of
which I speak with knowledge, having myself
been witness of the event? The drive, which the
German Governor Of Brussels and Brabant describes
me as making in motorcar through the streets Of
the city was one of good hundred yards, namely
from st. Louis's Institute to the point the boule
ward Immediately opposite Rue dc Brabant
took my place as quietly as possible in closed
car, the windows of which Theoretically shut.
A few persons accompanied me this short journey
and cheered but without utterng single sound that
could give offense to the German authorities. The
police who had allowed the people to assemble freely
near st. Lous's Institute, then ordered quite unnec
essarily bayonet charge while my was taking
the most direct route toward Malines-that is Rue
de Brabant. Once the hundred yards of the boule-
Yard were passed nobody at all followed my car.
These are the facts in all their simplicity.
Frankly. is there here matter for fine of mil
lion two hundred and fifty thousand francs? Moreover
since your Excellency is quite willing to say that my
sermon at st. Gudue not seditious, would it not
be consistent and just to remit punishment which
justified in the eyes of the occupying power only
by this alleged act Of sediton?

against the clergy by the occupying power. He had
made it clear that besides many other drawbacks that
had resulted from the arrest of priests and religious

classes in the colleges had been seriously intefered

find to meet this inconvenience to order that for
the future each bishop should be notified early

A GREATER contrast could not be
= imagined than that existing be-
tween Kathleen and Virginia as they
sat facing each other in the little living
room. Virginia's highbred little face
was pale and unhappy, she wore an
apron known as the bungalow type
which was stiff and uubecoming. Kath-
leen was dressed in smart tight fitting
blue suit with a close little hat. A
heavily meshed veil was tied over her
polished ivory under the silky material.
AS she sat facing Virginia her
thoughts were all of the fact that Vir-
ginia had made mess of her life. She
had been stubborn and full of illusions,
she had been determined to marry
Jimmy Anderson and to be poor and
now she had been married only a few
days and here she was settled for life
in this dreadful little place.
"Well, dear" she said finally, "are
you happy?"
"Oh, yes, Jimmy is darling, but I
hate housework. and I'm so stupid
about it. l don't blame him for think
ing me perfect IDIOT"
housework? ! don't think So"
"Jimmy's mother does
And Jimmy thinks that little Vir-
ginia ought to be as good as Jimmy s
mother" laughed Kathleen.
Virginia laughed and flushed little.
"Well. I'll tell you what we'll do"
said Kathleen briskly. "You get dressed
and we'll go downtown for lunch and
forget all about the fact that you're
married. It's my treat. Come on now,
III talk to YOU while YOU scramble into
some clothes"
Virginia forgot all about the dishes
piled on the little shelf in the kitchen,
and hurried into the bedroom her spirit
rising as she pulled out fresh underwear
stockings, her long narrow shoes which
fitted her slender feet like sheaths, and
one of her characteristic frocks OF tan
wool bordered with fur. She laughed
and talked while she dressed and finally
went out with Kathleen leaving the

Wind and Cold Weather Cause
Hands and Face to Become Rough,

The face and hands are the two
bodily members that are most eX-
posed to the rough wind and dis
agreeable weather. They are the
first to feel its effects, becoming
chapped and rough, often crack
ing open. Rcd, chapped hands
especially offend the bcholder and
0verwhelm their owner with SELF
consciousness and modification.
The plea that Il have my house
work to do" is no longer an eX-
cuse. The chief cause Of the skin
becoming rough and parchrd is
due to the atmospheric changes
drying the natural oil out of it.
For this reason it is necessary to
massage the skin each night for q
short time, with 4 little Mcntha-
Soothaline, a lovely cream dis
pensed by the famous DR.. Pierce
of Buffalo, \. Y, known in every
nook and corner of the country as

Benson Says Marine Bill
Protects u. S. Shippers
Chairman of Ship Board Tells
of Safeguards Against Diver
sion of Trade From US. Ports
~
>eSSYo

WASHINGTON, July 49, = Two
methods have been established by law
for preventing the diversion of bust
ness from American ports by foreign
shipping interests, in an effort to de-
feat the provisions of the merchant
marine act, Chairman Benson, of the
Shipping Board, declared to-day in an
address to the National Association of
Manufacturers.
These methods, the chairman said,
ere in the merchant marine bill. The
first provides that preferential rates
~ teH ~ railroads to imports and
exports moving in American bottoms
O.ncr gives the interstate Com
merce Commission authority to give
directions for embargoes or for the
American rail lines.
"lf foreign carriers were to trans sfe r
their vessels from American Pacific
ports to Vancouver, for instance" sa
Chairman Benson, "and the rate diff
ferential section were enforced with
regard to Far East ports, neither
through rates nor! export preferential
rail rates could then be applied for
merchandise moving through Van
couver, unless it were handled from
that port in American vessels. Such
merchandise moving in foreign ships
would be required to pay the full local
rail charges between the point of
origin or destination in the United
States and the point where the lines
of the rail carrier cross the border be-
tween Canada and the United States
This differential in itself, plus the
Canadian rail rate, would be greater
handicap against foreign steamers
than would be the domestic rate to q
Pacific coast American port"
Discussing the other method of meet
ing foreign threats, the chairman de-
clared that any further diversion of
business from Western railroads would
make it necessary for them to seek
additional freight rate increases.
