Cows Will Not Drink Rum.

Cadiz, ON these parts even the
cows are obeying the eighteenth
amendment and are off the booze. In
a pasture near here, through which
flowed a veritab1e flood Of good wine,
the cows went to the brink, shifted
and turned back to the grass. Sew
eral hundred gallons of Italian wine,
dumped into a sewer here by prohibit
ton agents, flowed into creek and
then into the cow pasture.
1t wouldn't be fair, though, to say
the cows are dry, for they continue
to fill the milk pals.

100 BILLIONS
English Financier Fixes Real
Losses of the European
BeIligerentS.
AMERICA WORLDS CREDITOR
To Only United States and Japan Did
the War Bring Prosperity, According
to English Authority-Germany
Heavy Loser.

London.-The actual cost OF the
war to European belligerents was in
excess of f2O0O0,000,OOO ($1OO,OOO,-
100000 normal value) represented by
property destroyed, losses in invest
ments abroad, depreciation of proper
ties and by PENSIONS Edgar Cram
mond, English tinancier, told the
Bankers institute at a recent meeting
here
He fixed the following as the real
losses of the European belligerentS:
($43, 5oO,0C00M normal value) 49,
France NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 6,Z0O,OOO,VV
The United Kingdom ;5,2W'oo0oO0O
italy 80 00U 0NN
To only two belligerent countries
the United States and Japan-did the
war bring prosperity, CrammOnd said,
but Spain, Holland, Switzerland,
Greece and Scandinavia also had
grown Weather. He believed the lid
uid capital of the world, now dis
tributed in centers which are unaccus-
toned to the exercise of their new
powers" would eventually again hnd
it's chief outlet through London.
America the Gamer.
'The war has produced an extraor-
binary change in the economic rela-
lions of the United States with Eu-
rope" he said. whereas, in 1914
America owed Europe f2,OOOOOO,OOO,
at present Europe owes America e.
600, 100000 ($1O,OOO,O O0O 00)."
Assuming that the postwar pur-
chasing power of the dollar was ~
per cent of it's pre-war value, Cram
mond said during the last five years
there had been an actual Increase IN
the national wealth of the Unitedr
States of approximately 30 per cent,
and he estimated this wealth now In
the neighborhOod Of 10000, 100000 to

The national wealth of Japan, he
estimated, had been doubled by the
war.
Germany Heavy Loser.
On the basis of q postwar mark
valued at so per cent of it's pre-War
value he estimated Germany has lost,
apart from the indemnity, 26 per cent
of her national wealth, the whole OF
her mercantile marine, all her colonial
possessions, and practically the whole
of her investments abroad. If the
figures suggested at the Hythe con-
ference, f6,250,O00,0OO, were fixed as
the German war indemnity, he de-
clared the total losses of the German
people arising out of the war, would
be equivalent to about f15OOO, OOO,OOO,
or One-half her national wealth.
$50 far as the world as whole Is
concerned, the principal loss Is in the
fact that Europe is not yet a going
concern" he continued, "but the I'M
DERIVING economic forces which made
her the great center of the worlds
commercial activities are still at work
and will rapidly transform the eco
nomic situation in Europe"
He&said the dominant characteristic
of international trade in the next ten
years will be a tremendous world de-
mand for capital, and the internal
financial policies of the nations should
be framed with due regard to this
condition.

ments in the future situation. The nditions thus developing, however, present unusual market opportuni- ties for investment and for the use of idle funds In the bond market issues of the most reliable and stable character, now in the market, have reached phenomenally low levels of value, and 1t can scarcely be expected that the inducements presented will remain permanently open, though it is clear that investment returns have passed from the old lev els of valua- ton to a new and higher plane. The market is thus far from being of a nature to discourage investment or commitments one should not lose sight of money conditions.
 Important Events in Prospect.
 It will be some time before the po- Htical and general economic situa- ton will greatly alter, but some inn portant events that may be looked for as probable features"of the early weeks of 1920 should be looked to as affording landmarks. Foremost of these is the action to be taken on the peace treaty. Perhaps second in im- portance is the adoption of railroad
 
 scarcely reach the statute books in much less than four to six weeks but from now onward the progress of the debate will be full of significant bear ing upon the speculative and invest ment outlook. On the other. hand, the announcement of definite action under the terms of the Edge act will have some influence in clearing up the foreign situation and making cer- tain the extent to which it may be possible to expect the financing of in ternational trade upon a sound basis. In this respect some encouragement is already found in the better demand for copper metal, large sales having recently been reported at 19Ac, for delivery during the next three months, with 20c being asked for the second quarter. Successful and wise dis posal of all these questions. and meanwhile the handling of public and private finance in a conservative way will contribute much to the re. storation of normal conditions in se- curities markets. and should afford a basis for optimism regarding the fu- ture.

Almost $4,000 caddies trudge the

by other clubs throughout Great Brit

HANGING the Importance of the lake
trade centering at that port.
The Vorarlbergers are distinct from
part of Germany. They claim descent
from the Alemanni, who, after their
defeat by Clovis, king of the Franks,
in the seventh century, flowed back
eastward and settled in the valleys Of
the ancient Rhaetia.
| Thanks to the mountains that ring
| them round and cut them off to a great
extent from the rest of the world, the
| Yorarlbergers have presented a certain
! independence of attitude through the
centuries, and have refused to be over
awed by the noble lords who have
sought to browbeat them. They are
of an essentially practical nature, num-
bering in their midst more mechanics
and builders than sculptors poets and
musicians. They are Industrious, fru-
gal, even if given a bit to comforta-
BILE living, and talkative to a degree.
They garnish their speech with many
witty remark but are inclined. 1t Is
said, to become cantankerous and dis
putatious upon slight provocation.
They are very patriotic and religious.
Many of the people live in fine wood
en- houses Of pleasing style of archi-
! lecture. The contrast between these
domiciles and the poorer houses of the
inhabitants of the Swiss sections inn
mediately west of Vorarlberg at once
strikes the travellers eye. The ma
tives still wear picturesque costumes
in some parts OF the region, though by
no means to the extent that was COM
mon as recently as % or 80 years
ago.

Delicately tinted voiles and dimities
which are hopelessly ruined by the
washing machine and average laun-
dress, may be successfully handled
by -four washing. says the Thrift Mag
azine. Take one cupful of wheat
-four, moisten with q little cold water
to form Il sort smooth batter. Add
two and one-half cupfuls of boiling
water. Stir until smooth; bring to a
good boil. Strain one-half of this
into sufficient lukewarm water to COW
err the garment to be washed. Rub
all soiled spots gently. Soak the gar
ment thoroughly, squeeze out and put
into another water prepared In the
same way with the other half of the
paste. Repeat the rubbing and soak
ing. Rinse once in clear cold water
squeezing out all the water possible.
Roll the garment in a large Turkish
towel. Leave for half an hour. II
ssfy enough iron; If too wet. wrap in
dry towel for fifteen minutes longer.
Then iron. This method seems to
restore delicate colors. 1t also re-
moves every particle of dirt and
makes the garment look crisp and
