Taking a home view Of the same
subject. it is TO be remarked that al
records are eclipsed by the food OF
public bonds. whose interest is at a
rate proportioning the benefit OF
coupon clippers to the burden OF
taxpayers. For the first FIVE months
OF this year $3.50. .667. .9O1 of public
bonds were issued. During the same
months trade was declining, and in

has been long since railways have

loss OF railway credit came earlier.
There are on the horizon billions of
road bonds and soldiers bonus bonds

merit of swelling taxes and starving

on his return home he wrote 10 the department at
Washington telling the officials there the size Of the
cannon and asking how they should be mounted Those
oflcias him plans and specifications for mounting

commercial. the government faces a
different situation. Why should the
public pay losses occasioned in the
distribution of merchandise, which
has no educational value?
The Postohice Department has a
large overhead which isn't reckoned
into the cost of operation. 1t uses
buildings owned or rented by the
government. Il pays 10 taxes. There
are other invisible factors of ex-
pense. The service is a public one,
for the public benefit. Yet It would
be just as false economy to run it
at a loss as it was false economy for
the Federal railroad administration
to run the railroads at a loss, and
thus to saddle a deficit Of $1,000
10000 on the Treasury.
There should be no laxity in Fed
eral business operations. Mr.. Hays
is right in seeking to discover what
classes of mail it isn't advantageous
to carry at present rates and to stop
the leakages. The postal service as
whole should show a profit. and
that profit could we'll be devoted to

A Financial Sermon
(From the New York Tlmes.)

At the budget reform meeting
President Harding preached a SER
mon on public finance Of broader
application than the eloquence Of
Budget Director Dawes. There is
not a menace in the world today like
that of growing public Indebtedness
and mounting public expenditures.
There has seemingly grown up
an impression that public treasures
are inexhaustible, and conviction
that no efficiency and no economy
are ever thought OF in public ex-
renses" That strikes at the root OF
the heresles which have given the
world a delusion OF wealth and pros
perity, while all the time it has been
squandering capital as though that
could go on forever. Labor is not
able 10 see why the Government
cannot keep wages up permanently,
mark them up from tax money. So
cial reformers pile duties on the
Government which are not govern
mental. and marvel that taxpayers
are not so grateful as the beneficiar-
les OF what they do not pay for.
Many such measures are pressed by
those who ought to know better than
the multitudes who think that the
Government has funds OF its own,
and does not merely spend the
money OF any one man for the bene-
nj OF another man. No Government
governs in manner above criticism
although regulation OF conduct is
simplicity itself compared with the
many duties OF social reform. benev-
olence and business heaped on Gov
ernment already overtaxed in Its app
propriate functions.
II leads too far ahald to consider
this text throughout the world The
figures are astronomical and battling
in their intricacies. Merely In pass
ing, 1t may be remarked that last
week the British Government paid
a subsidy of fifty million dollars. a
bounty to miners who had reduced
their output as their wages were
raised. and who had caused their
country untold loss. There is no hu.

Postmaster General Hays is going
to second General Dawes's effort TO
lower the government operative costs
by investigating the workings Of the
parcel post system.
Some experts estimate the loss on
this service at 0,OOO0O0 a year
But present accounting methods
make it difficult to figure out the
real expense of the express business
which the Postofiice Department has
taken on in recent years. Western
mining companies. it has been dis
covered. are using the mails for
shipping ores. and in the cities many
retail merchants make deliveries
through the parcel post. The gov
ernment is therefore doing a trans
portation business at rates which are
suspected Of piling up large deficits.
1t used to be argued that since the
postal service was largely an agency
OF public education It could afford to
allow non-paying rates on some
classes Of matter. Congress took
! that view for many years with re-
gard to publications. In handling
these profit wasn't considered. But

HEARTS AFFECTED BY FEAR
Armenian Children Slow in Recover. ing From Terrors to Which They
 Were Long Subjected.

According to pr. Mabel Elliott, head of the American Woman's Hospitals, who is now serving with the Near East Relief at Ismid. Turkey. a large number of the Armenian children under her care are suffering from en- larged hearts or other forms of heart disease. due to the constant fear to which they have been prey during the past few years.
 Relief workers in the Near East have long been familiar with the men, tai petrifactiOn due to the terrible eX- perience through which these children have passed, most of them having for gotten everything of their past their names, their homes and their language included, but this is the first instance that has been recorded of the effect of fear on their hearts.
 The cure which Dr. Elliott is prac- ticing with these children is a com bination of mental and medical. First of all, they are made to realize that they are entirely out of danger and among friends. Then they are put on a special diet of nourishing foods and certain exercises are prescribed. The results so far have been remarkably successful.

THE EXPLOIT OF PIONEER
 SCOUT ANDREW POE

Andrew and Adam Poe, two broth. CTS, were scouts in the pioneer days of Ohio. One day when the Poe brothers were leading a party on the trail of band of Indians who had raided the settlements, they left their men to try to locate the savages. The brothers became separated. On the bank of river Andrew came upon a giant Wyandot chief and smaller Indian who were standing with their rifles cooked but looking in another direction.
 Poe's rife missed fire when he shot at the chief and the Indians at once discovered him. Before they could shoot, the scout sprang upon them, seixing both around the neck. The Gmall Indian jerked loose first and while the chief held Poe, his con- panion tried to get in a death blow with his tomahawk. Andrew allowed him to come close. Then with one Indians stomach, hurling him back ward and knocking the hatchet from his hand.
 When the little Indian got his breath back and recovered his tomahawk, he advanced to the attack again and sue ceeded in wounding Poe in the arm. A second later the scout pulled him. self from the grasp of the chief, seized one of the Indians guns and shot the warrior as he advanced to attack him 8 third time. Poe was no longer fight ing against odds and he immediately attacked the chief.
 The ground was wet and slippery. In another moment the Indian and the white man. locked in each others arms, fell into the water and each be- gan trying to drown the other. Final ly Poe seized his enemy by the scalp lock and held his head under water until he believed the chief was dead.
 When he released his hold however. the redskin renewed the struggle. By this time they were fighting in deep water. Seemingly at the same time both thought of the one loaded rife on the shore and both started to swim to get 1t. The Indian was the better swimmer and reached the bank first.
 AS the chief picked up the gun, Poe turned back In the water and began diving to avoid a bullet. The chief, however, had picked up an empty gun, the one with which Andrew had killed the little Indian, and before the Wyan. dot could get the loaded weapon, Adam Poe, who had heard the shot, came running to his brothers rescue. He fired and the Indian fell dead.
