ing as the United States for Joint ac-
ton against European aggression and
to secure the solidarity of the Amer

league should be formed without
prejudice to adherents to the league
of nations.
Taking up the Monroe doctrine, Or.
Brum pointed out how it had "consti.
tuted on the whole. an ehicaciOus
safeguard to the territorial integrity
OF many American countries"
DR.. Brum said the entry OF the
United STATES into the city was AN
ticipated application Of the Monroe
doctrine" adding:
Owing to the state in which Euro
pean countries remain after the strug-
gle, il may be said that fear of invas-

But is that sufficient reason for US
to take no interest In the future and
turn away from the Monroe doctrine

searching for formulas that may as

GRADUAL DROP
 IN PRICES DUE SAYS N. Y. BANK
Retailers Buying With Cau- tion and Exports Show
 Decline.

Lower prices for commodities are probable as a result of contraction of domestic consumption and decline in exports due to unfavorable Euro pean rates, it is declared by the Ma tional Bank of Commerce in New York in the March issue of it's maga- inc, Commerce Monthly. The bank expresses the opinion, however, that these influences will not bring on radical price drop but that there will be a gradual readjustment.
 From June, 1919, until January, 1920" Commerce Monthly says, "commercial and financial activities were stimulated by two main factors: the strength of the domestic demand for goods for immediate consumption, and the demand from abroad. Do- mestic purchasing power has repre- scented to an undesirable extent the expenditure of funds which should have been set aside as capital, and production has not expanded as rapidly as consumption. Europe has given evidence of unlimited demand on credit. but it has neither restricted it's purchases to commodities for use in productive activity, nor shown evil dence of vigorous efforts to expand production in order to liquidate its indebtedness. To correct this situa- tion, conservation of credit both for domestic and foreign transactions be- came an absolute necessity some weeks ago. and the effects of the steps taken to secure it will doubt less become evident in the near future.
 '"The wholesale trade in many lines reports retailers as buying with eau ton, and manufacturers in those lines which produce goods of those classes which enter immediately into con sumption are meeting with a similar uncertainty. In other words, it now seems probable that there is a de- finite limit to the demand of the pub lie at present prices Conditions in the export trade are even more diff ficult. The discount on European ex- changes in this market has now reach ed a point where curtailment of our export trade is taking place. Buying

orders are being cancelled, and ships are leaving our shores in ballast. The contraction of domestic consumption, and the decline in exports will prob ably be reflected in lowered prices. Moderate price recessions and price .stabilization are a desirable and, in deed, an inevitable result of the steps which have been taken gradually to bring commerce and industry to that sane, productive basis which is the only foundation for permanent pros perity.
 The bank points out that while cur tailment of exports may result in an excess of certain commodities, there

 A PERFECT BALANCE
 Of mind and body was the Roman idea of perfect health. They defined this balance as "a sound mind in sound body" A weak or sickly body tends to drag down the mind to its own level. Keep the body in health and the mind will take care of itself. The health of the body depends mainly on two tn lngs: A sound stomach and pure blood.

JUANTAG GLAD TO
CLOSE ESCAPADE
But She's Glad She Made
Good Dumping Against
World

ATLANTA, July 13.-The odd
question of whats around the cor
ner?" has led so many gypsy heart
wandering in the world about has
been thoroughly answered for Juanlta
Allen. For around her corner were
scrubbing, dishwashing and news
butching than which there are few
things less romantic.
Juanita, seventeen years old, ana
two other girls of like age and adyen-
turous disposition, ran away from
their homes in Chattanooga last
week to see the world. The others
went west, Juanita came to Atlanta,
bought a Boy Scout uniform, and
with $3.50 in her pocket, set
out to get job. She didn't get the
lob. so she caught freight train
going north.
At Toccoa a brakeman discovered
her. She ran. Meeting up two ell
DERBY hoboes, she tramped thirty
five miles, "bummed" an automobile
ride, caught another freight train, got
of at Greenville, S., c. and hired out
as a general boy-of-all-work at the
station.
There she had been working 1or
three days and was getting rather
fed up on romance, when a newspa-
per reporter discoverr her identity
in spite of the scout uniform, the
freckles and the Huck Finn voice.
Juanita's father was telcgraphed and
Sunday night he passed through At
lanta en- route back to Chattanooga
with his little girl.

careless of his rather bookish Eng

that he is half in a joke, but I've

OF course Ann perfectly loved
the little cigaret case. She had quite

when she tried to fit her own cigar

forgotten that Ann never uses the

particularly affects the brands the
