REFryDTNG THE LOANS.

In connection with the war this country loaned large sums of money to other countries. Naturally in the time .hat has elapsed that money has not been repaid. How soon it will be there g no telling, but more than that we are sot getting any interest thereon, or at least not for the bulk of it.
 Secretary Mellon has been at work upon this financial problem and he rec commended some time ago that he be given authority by congress to refund the foreign loans. Only recently he re- newed that request and now it remains Co be seen how much of a delay will have to be caused before something ls done that vii permit a start to be made by the secretary of the treasury h reaching an adjustment of this f. nancial problem.
 It isn't a matter that can be settled In a minute, but the quicker it can be tackled the quicker the adjustment will follow. Tn the belief of the secretary It will net require over five years to slear up the chaotic conditions while for the most part understandings can be reached which will take care of the greater part of the loans. It is plain- iy understood, Or if it isn't it should De, that the interest on the loans begins to accrue from the time when an agree iaent is reached concerning the terms oi payment. Thus the longer we delay in arranging such terms the longer the bans stand idle and the less interest Uiu be due us
 Obviously the longer such an ar r-7Trnent can be put off the better pleased VII be those who owe the debt and -l the meantime we are getting nothing for our money and paying taxes to meet the interest on the war bonds by which this country raised the money 10 loan.
 The request of the secretary is now h the hands of the ways and means committee. It is to be expected that il will give careful consideration to the matter and recommend action in accord uith the best interests of the country but there should be no unwarranted delays or such limitations that vii prove @ handicap to the negotiations.

UNTFORM LAWS FOB AUTOS.

UnQuestionably those representatives Of motor organizations in the New Eng land and other eastern states who met recently in Boston for the purpose of considering the establishment of uni form laws in this part of the country governing motor vehicles have the right Idea in mind. Each state has it's restric- lions. some more stringent than others, but those going from one state to an other, unless a careful study is made of the laws of each state, are likely to unintentionaIly violate some of the reg aladons. If the chief regulations for the several states were alike there would be overcome that difficulty that confronts many auto drivers in inter State travelling.
 The/idea is not a new one. Efforts have been made to secure uniformity of legislation upon a new set of subjects Eithout any appreciab,e progress being made because Of the feeling that some E the states might be abandoning some n their rights, but with the steady growth of the automobile traffic and the constantly increasing use of the high rays into and through neighboring Rates the importance or ndNlHS IeSu- lations correspond so that there can be some certainty in the minds of the driv- srs should get proper consideration.
 While each state has ideas of it's own Pegarding regulation of the motor vehi- Gle it isn't necessary to travel through each state to realize what 1t means to Tho Connecticut driver when he under takes to make a circle of the states. In he matter of headlights. registration, spead. signals and many rules regarding traffic the interests of all would prob pbly be better taken care of under a Pnlrorm law for the several states than at the present time where some have headlight laws and some do not, where some require drivers to pass test be- fore getting a license and some do not
 1t will of course require some time to bring about the desired uniformity, if ir eact it is ever secured. but tbere can b' 20 doubt that the idea is well conceived md is worth putting into effect.

much easier and quicker, and the test may be applied as easily to a girl as to man, for the bump of memory is not covered by the hair.
 It's right in the centre Of the fore head. about half way between the line of the eyes and the point where the forehead merges into the top of the head; at the point where the hair and scalp begin.
 You have often met people inNwhim the forehead, considered as profile line between these two points, bulges outward in a convex curve, with it's greatest prominence at the halfway point. You can bank on it that such people have more average ability to remember facts, experiences and ev- ents. This ability is often referred to as the retentive, or historical faculty because it is mode indicative of ability to remember facts and cents than oth- CT things. The ability to remember a musical melody, for instance, is anoth- CT matter entirely, which is bound UT with the sense of music. Likewise the ability to remember faces an1 figures | unusually well is bound up with the sense of line and form, anl with thu accuracy of the eye. The bump of mem ofy is more or less independent o
 these. and denotes a faculty that il particularly valuable to newspaper i men, librarians and historians. Tomorrow-Broad Shoulders

WITHOUT INFLUENCE TODAY.

Alter all that has been experienced might be supposed that those who worked so persistently to get this coun- try to approve all that Germany did be- fore this country entered the war. who EpD.auded all Germany,s acts and who carried on the German propaganda aimed at frightening us and bringing about a break with the allied nations would keep to the background, but such doesn't appear to be the case. They had a purpose then and it would appear that they hadn't abandoned it.
 Viereck. whose pro-German efforts in this country are not going to be quick .y forgotten has now undertaken to tell President Harding, through the monthly publication which he issues, who should be named as ambassador to Germany tnd who should not be.

Birth of a Star.

The vast black mass. 2o.OOO,OOO times larger than the sun. demonstrated to exist in the heavens by the Dutch scien- tist. DT. Pannekoek, seems to upset all earlier astronomical calculations, says an exchange.
 It is, comparatively speaking. so near Us that Dr. Pannekoek suggests that the sun itself must move round it once in 2.ooo,0O0 years drawing the earth with it.
 ''We believe that the black body must consist of dust. and that this is the first stage in the birth of a star" said an expert. ''As 1t condenses it gets hot ter until it becomes luminous and visi- ble. Sudden flares or new stars have been seen in our lifetime. but the black cloud of dust appears to be the real be- ginning.
 "The amazing feature Is the nearness of the body. It is relatively as close to the earth as a foot rule would appear to be if only two feet away from your eyes. It is quite possible that even vaster bodies oS this kind exist" The nearness is relative. The body Is 2S0, 0,OOO,oOo,o00,oo0 miles away.

BETTERING rHE NAIL sE

LETTERING THE MAIL SERVICE.
 For 8 considerable time the imprint of the cancellation machines in many of the postoffices have contained the advice: Address your mail to street and number" How many people ever pay any attention to such is prob lematical. If the postal employees should judge by the number who do not re- spond thereto they would be inclined to claim that it diI little or no good. But all mai matteS IS not so stamped and there is no assurance that those who are the greatest offenders in regard to only partially addressing letters ever see such cancellation imprints.
 Great is the number of letters each day which has to be handled by the postal force for which there is no street and number provided This. in a great many cases means much additional work for the clerks and carriers. in ad- dftion to inviting a delay in the deliv- cry of the mail matters.
 While efforts are being directed to- ward mQressing letter writers with the need of giving more attention to cor rectly addressing letters the postmaster general is also endeavoring to better the service by seeing that receptacles are provided for mail at each residence and that houses are properly numbered Tn order to learn how many houses are not so equipped orders have been issued for the carriers to make census or Saturday of this week of those houses where these is pail receptacle or 3 number missing.
 Efforts to avoid errors and delays ir the delivery of mail is in keeping witH the determination to better the Dosta, service. Plainly written addresses are @ vital factor. Quite important also is the street and number if prompt deliv. cry service.

to selecting a representative of this government for the German ambassa- dorship. It seems to be clearly indi- cated that Viereck and his crowd are up to their old game and that they car ry the idea that their influence is so powerful and necessary that they can guide the action of the present admins tration.
 It is entirely possinqe that the pres ident has made up his mind regarding the appointment to Berlin. Such of course has not been revealed and will not be until the proper time that it can be assured that no American who is believed fitted to be sent to such a post would be accepted or rejected on the Viereck claims. The influence of the old representatives of German 'kul- tur" is a negligible quantity today.

 Fannie is making the dessert for dinner" she replied, 'but I can help you with the sandwiches, I guess, Lu- cille'
 .eThank you, darling" I said, hurry ing away, for I wished to have time downtown to look at some new spring models in my favorite small shop. While in the shop I met Polly Gray and she told me she Ind some tickets for a matinee.
 F q intended to phone my sister. but III be charmed to take you if you can go, Lucille" she said. after had men, tioned that the play for which she had the tickets was wonderful, and that hoped to go myself before it left town She was so cordial in her invitation that | I really did not like to decline it. Therefore, knowing that mother would attend to the sandwiches, I said I should be delighted.
 Good gracious, Lucille, where have you been?" asked mother querulously when I got home just in time for din ner. for we had tea after the matinee. Poor mother was in one of her rather trying moods, so I thought it kinder not to ruffie her by mentioning the matinee, for she cannot seem to under stand the importance of my artistic in terest in the drama. I merely said that I had had lot to do downtown.
 Well I've been making sandwiches fol hours, and your grandmother and Tilly worked all the morning at the punch. can't see why you didn't come home ant attend to some of these things yourself Lucile.''
 Now, mother, please don't make m nervous with reproaches just when I wisl to be as calm and pleasant as I possibl! can. I wish my guests to have a de lightful evening"
 They certainly did have a delightful time, for even Betty and Uncle Bob, wh found the quiet family party turned int such a different affair, joined with tn girls and me in doing everything possib1 to please and entertain the men.
 ''Well, we've been sitting pretty to night. Miss Lucille" said one of them a he left, and another remarked that 1 wa some sister" and they all praised an thanked me for the lovely time they ha had. I felt more than repaid for all m ) trouble and work.-Chicago News.

THE B0WLEs PLAN.

Admiral Bowles, who has served his time and is now on the retired list, has been doing some thinking in regard to the limitation of ornaments and he has offered it for what t is worth, or what those who will wrestle with the problem may think of it.
 He realizes that one of the aims Is to cut down the tremendous expenditures which are being made for the mainte- nance of navies. He likewise under stands that the battleship is that part of the navy which calls for the biggest and constantly increasing cost of con struction. They are built on bigger lines each year, carrying more powerful guns and thicker arnor with the result that the expense connected herewith is cor respondingly' increased.
 In view of the conditions he doesn't believe that there should be an effort made to limit the tonnage or the num- Der of such ships but his advice is to abandon the construction of such ves- seI altogether. Let all nations agree not to build fighting ship Of any type over 15,0o0 tons displacement all guns to be restricted to six-inch caliber and all submarines be scrapped at once and l according to his views there would be an effective solution of the problem. i Not only does he figure that such an agreement would cut naval expenditures from 75 to 90 per cent. but he points out that the abolition of such large ships would make unnecessary the en. 1 largement of the Panama canal locks 1T order to accommodate projected big bat tleships
 Admiral Bowles' plan is decidedly radical and probably too much so fol the conference to adopt although il should by all means have 1t presented to it.

Yeast in Lands Freedom ReIgns

From a land where real beer may still be bought and enjoyed under the benign protection of legality comes an interesting account of yeast, all that is left to us in the remembrance of old days.
 Brewers yeast, say our late enemies, has been a household remedy for ages and has stood the test well. Just how it works the scientists don't seem able to decide. But it is presumed to stimu- late digestion, to act as a mild laxative and to destroy the tax bacteria in the in- testines- Although generally used in treating skin disorders, stomach trouble and constipation, it has other successes to it's credit. It is claimed that in the city of Breslau the lives of many strick- en with the plague during an epidemic were saved by eating yeast
 There is a great difference between the brewers yeast obtained Tn Bavaria where the use of ingredients other than hops and malt is prohibited and the yeast of northern Germany which is not SC carefully made.
 It is well known that brewers yeast is hard to get and that it retains it's fresh- ness and vigor only short time. Mod 1 ern science has helped us out with com pressed yeast which is easy to get and easy to keep.

FROM LUCILLE'S DIARY

At a little tea that was given for a group of girls who had served with the A. E. F., some one asked what, if any thing,'we overseas women were doing for the soldiers in hospital.
 s'Why, am giving a party on Satur- urday evening for twenty or so of the boys who can come out on passes" said. with quick inspiration, for I sud- denly thought what a lovely thing that would be to do. Wont you girls help me entertain them"
 ''Yes, indeed" said Miriam Holmes, and then Genevra Chamberlain and all the girls present promised to assist me. requested several of them to bring cakes and others to furnish music, so I felt that the affair was well on it's way when I preached the subject to mother.

 The only Queen who ever lived in the United States was Liliuokalani, of Hawaii, whose niece the beautiful nai- ualani, the Princess, was a visitor the latter part of the last century to urge her claim to the throne of Hawaii.
 Other personages of royal blood to visit America were Princess Eulalia, of Spain, the nations guest during the Worlds fair; Prince Albert,of An halt, a grandfather of Queen Victoria, and the Dukes of Abruzzi and Veragua. This list could be increased largely if titled persons of collateral royal de- scent were included.
