NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Inherently
the American business outlook is
sound, but the next six years cannot
be so bounteously prosperous as the
past six-which were inflated, owing
TO unusual war conditions-and un-
less the American people curtail luxu-
rious extravagances, there will be diff
nculties ahead.
Ihdt summarizes, IN q paragraph
the views OF Frank A. Vanderlip, ono
of the foremost financiers in America,
who discussed for the International
News Service the business outlook Of
this nation from broad standpoint
"There is a little prospect" he
said. "of America retaining its present
volume of foreign trade unless Ameri-
can exporters, as a class, become
more than amateurs and change their
methods.
'I do not see how this country can
enjoy as great prosperity during the
next six years as in the past. I see
no evidence as to why there can be
such a continuance.

one thought upon that Since Roose-

KEPT SHOES AS ORNAMENTS
American Footsear Considered by Un-
fortunate Serbian Woman as Alto
qether Too Beautiful to Wear.

Anything that will keep the feet
from the ground is considered shoe
IN Serbia.
In the remote rural districts of the
country it is said that many of the
people live and die without owning a
pair of shoes. In the bitterest weather
they travel through mud and snow
without adequate foot covering. They
consider themselves fortunate If they
can secure old gunny sacks or heavy
cloth, which they tie about their feet
with twine in winter.
The first American-made shoes that
were distributed by the American Red
Cross created a tremendous stir
among the people Of the distant viii
lagos. One old woman who had never
owned pair before took the shoes
that had been given to her to her home
and put them on a shelf above the fire
place. She was as pleased as child
to own them, but nothing could induce
her to wear them. She said that she
intended to save them for fetes, or
perhaps for her burial. They were
"much too beautiful to be worn," she
said.

Gems Romantic History.

Truly romantic is the story Of the
Braganza diamond, stone of 1850
carats, and "as large as goose's egg"
which, for more than century, has
been the proudest possession of the
Portuguese crown. This amazing stone,
which Mr.. Streeter, the great author
ity on gems. has valued at f5S,0OO.OOO,
was picked up by three Brazilian out
laws in the half-dried bed of the
Abaite river, in the province of Mlnas
Geraes.
The outlaws took the stone to the
nearest village priest, who obtained
access, for them to the governor, into
whose possession 1t was given. The
diamond, the largest and finest hither-
to found, was dispatched to Lisbon,
with the result that the three outlaws
received the royal pardon and rich
reward, while the padre to whose
friendly offices they owed their good
fortune was given high preferment In
the church.

DROVE cLEMENCEAU TO FIELD
Former Paris Cab Driver, Now in
America, Tells of French Pre-
!, mier's DueIing Days.

Running chicken ranch near Ia
coma, Wash, is a man named Mich
olas Thien, who, in his younger days
was cab driver to Clemenceau, and
who has accompanied the French
premier to many combat on the
t'field of honor"
"No one in any country" he re-
marked the other day, standing among
his chickens, ."has fought so many
duels as M'sieu Clemenceau. They
came from what he wrote In his pa
per. But he was so strong. He al
ways won. No adversary could hold
a sword against him.
.It was against the law, of course" ;"
added the old Frenchman, seventy
two now, in a whisper, $50 we always
slipped out of the city for these
fights"
Msieu Thien's cab stand used to be
in front of L'Intrasigeant, Clemen-
ceau's paper. Almost nightly, he
says, the present premier would come
out of his office and hail cab s0SS.
"He got the name Tiger NJ. Then
explains, because he was always the
boss, like the big striped cat is the
boss of all animals.
), "Ah, my friend. those were the hap
>py daysl Of course will not insult
my chickens. They are good ones, as
chickens go. But it is tame life
here. I dream often of the old days
when Msieu Clemenceau would hail
me long about two o'clock in the
morning and we'd be Off"

Flower Gardens of Holland.

1t was only after the fall of Con-
stantinople in 1853 that Holland be-
came such a gay land Of flowers as 1t
now is. Many Dutchmen went to the
East during the years Of the great
crusades. and those of them who loved
beautiful things brought seeds with
them. When these were planted In
the rich soil Of Holland such wond-ous
flowers appeared as had never before
been seen in that country. The people
became wildly enthusiastic over the
new colors and scents. and foliage
brought to them from the East, and
in Holland there sprang up great
love for gardening.

Orchid Hard TO Secure.

Nearly all the orchids found in
Burma can be grown with little care
and attention in private gardens.
There Is one exception, sweet-sm ell
ing species called tain by the Bur
mese, and which Is usually brought to
market in Christmas week In Rangoon.
It only seems to flower in the most
malarious and least frequented locali-

the tigers mating season, and when
they are most dangerous to human be-
ings. Tt is in great demand by Bur
1nese and sells for It's weight in silver.

Illiteracy is everywhere higher in the
rural than in the urban population. I'm
