WHEN CUTS MEAN CASH

"The days of our age are three
score years and ten," said the Psalm
list, showing that our forefathers
reckoned by scores, a system of keep
ing account of figures based probab-
ly in its original form upon the prac-
tice of counting upon the fingers and
toes.
The word "score" itself comes from
the Anglo-Saxon, being nothing more
than the word "sceran' meaning to
cut. 1t indicted a notch or incision
made upon a tally stick for the pur-
pose of keeping a record of finan-
cial transactions.

count books cut which was long

INTERESTING LETTER WRITTEN Is

VIEWS ABOUT WOMEN

Kansas City Standardization
for women may become popular, but
not unanimous. They will not be-
come unanimous for largely the same
set of reasons that kept the short
skirt, as popular as it is, from be-
coming unanimous.
Washington Post-Old ladies who
once wore bustles are in nc position
to blame modern styles for directing
attention to the female physique.
New York Tribune-Dress reform
for women has come in such pleasing
guise that few call it dress reform.
UncOrseted bodies, short skirts or
Knockers, such things formerly af-
fected by none but 2 few freaks"
are now the pride and JOY Of the nor
NAL misunderstanding girl.
Kansas City Star-There are, still a
few too many women who cling to the
theory that the way to a mans heart
is to shoot him through the stomach.
Philadelphia ecord-Isn't it silly
the way women, when they get to-
gether, always chatter about dress for
household affairs-when they might
talk golf or exchange recipes for
home brew.
Washington Post-The claims that
skirts are longer this fall need a mic
roscope to verify them.
Dallas News-Of course the girls
have it on the men in some ways,
but the men are better satisfied with
their eyebrows than they are with
theirs.
Kansas City Star-Somebody wants
to know what the American woman
will look like in 1850. If anyone has
the necessary vision, will he kindly
take slant at her husband, too?

Not a Medicine.

THE National Association OF Retail Druggists
through its executive committee, has gone
on record that beer is not medicine, has no
medicinal value and is not listed in the pharmaco-
peia. 1t is not a remedy supposedly handled by
druggists, and they evidently have decided objec-
ton to having beer saloons an annex to drug
stores. Former Attorney General Palmer's dictum
making beer medicine by virtue of physician S
prescription, hardly meets their approval.
Doctors have not in the past prescribed beer as
medicine but as food, They have prescribed it as
they have carrots for babies, vegetable diet for
certain ailments, milk and eggs for tuberculosis and
maybe, fish as brain food, with the advice of Mark
Twain to friend, to start by eating whole whale.
Why not have the drug stores include groceries and
butcher shops we'll beer saloons, if they are
to provide all that physicians may recommend in
the dietary of their patients?
But druggists not alone in refusing to re-
gard beer as medicine Mr.. Palmer the contrary.
Physicians join them in this Few if any, will say
that it serves any medicinal purpose. Indeed many
insist that it, also has food value. Physicishs
of distinction have held the contrary that it has
much i'll effect; that confirmed beer drinkers are
peculiarly susceptible distinctive class of all
ments and become ill6tted resist any disease OF
serious nature.
There many doctors, those of other
professions, who prohibitionsts, and more who
denounee the use of liquors. not for economic rea-
sons alone, but for those of health Even those
who occasionally prescribe liquor. do not like the
Palmer tag. to be the constant object of pes
tering by those who want beer or liquor, not on
any excuse Of health but merely for the alcoholic
effect. Nothing indeed goes further to prove the
real strength Of prohibition. than the rcpusion OF
respectable people against being made an agency
for its avoidance.

What Comes Next?

In correcting the failure Of the Executive,
in negotiating the most important treaty IN the
history of the nation, to recognize the constitu-
tional powers Of the Senate, would go to the
other extreme, equally Objectionable, if Con-
gress or the Senate should assume the function
1t would be idle to declare for separate
treaties of peace with the central powers on the
assumption that these alone would be adequate,
because the situation is so involved that our
peace engagements can not ignore the old world
relationship and the settlement already effected,
nor is it desirable to do in preserving our
own rights and contracting our future relation
ships.
The wiser course would seem to be the
ceptance of the confirmation of our rights and
interests as already provided and to engage un.
der the existing treaty, assuming Of course, that
this can be satisfactorily accomplished by such
explicit reservations and notifications as will
secure our absolute freedom from inadvIsaole
commitments and safeguard all our essential
interests.
THESE are extracts from President Harding S
i message. They followed his statement IA
voring a resolution of peace, but not including m
structions to the Executive to negotiate separate
treaties of peace. They were generally accepted
by the press as outlining a definite program in
foreign affairs.
First was to come the resolution of peace, mex
ito engage under-ratfy-the existing treaty" with
the covenant for the league of nations omitted
Then the formation of an association of nations o.
some nature. The first Of these steps has beer
taken in the Senate by the repeal of the declara
tons of war.
In view Of this, and of other features Of tho
Presidents program to follow, it is not probabl,
that Senator Lodge intends to be taken LITERAL,
when nc said "the allies did not ask our leave tc
make their peace 49, And if we chose to make
peace by this resolution and by treaty with Ger
many, which probably will follow, we surely arr
not deserting them"
The comment of the press, and of individuals
has been quite emphatic. The disposition, in severa
instances is that the senior Senator's statement in
dcates either reversal of the Presidents program
or that the Senate will endeavor to initiate diplo
matte action. 1t would not seem that this is o
could be the situation. Moreover if it is, other Re
pubicans of the Senate will probably be promp
to either express disapproval, or confirm just wha
is to follow the resolution passed on Saturday.
Neither President Harding, nor Secretar
Hughes, has shown any disposition to surrender tn
prerogatives of the Executive. Any treaty sub
mitted must come from the President and fey
doubt the ability of Mr.. Hughes to frame reso
luton which, while confirming the treaty of Yer
sailles would except from it by reservation, tn
covenant and all mention of it in the treaty. savin

Of labor organizations involved; this may be limited
to one union in single plant, or it may be a
problem that includes all of craft, or. as in
working conditions, even more than this.
But whatever the community involved may be, il
is recognized by the chamber that not alone eapi-
tai. not alone labor, both combined, form the
only interest to be considered, as Community, .

iarly economics is not narrow term. Social and
community obligations not narrow and capital
and labor should get away from the narrowness
of class interests both sides. Both must serve
the community and whatever is to the highest in
terest of all, WILL in the ultimate result, be best
for the smaller class units.
This is what Mr.. Hoover expressed when he
said in his address to the chambcr "No particular
economic fraction of our population can long con-
tnue securing overadvantage without disaster to
itself or to the community. Our whole economic
and moral problem. indeed safety, our salts
faction, and our happiness balanced upon our
practice of this basic fundamental in business deal
ings" This clearly points to capital fully as tc
labor; it makes exceptions and evenly distributes
the obligations, not of surrendering what is fair
but of not seeking "overadvantage."
