Arc you an Iffer7
You know the tribe for they constitute
a large portion of society.
The lazy, idle, incompetent chap who
drifts from poor Job TO one still poorer,
but who always says: Il should be great
success and worth ten thousand dollars a
year in any big Office If could only get
into the right thing.
The lazy loafer who hangs around
country stores and city pool rooms and
swaps dirty stories with other loungers,
while his wife takes in boardcrs TO sup
port him, and who tells YOU, II should
have been n millionaire IL my rich
uncle had only set me up IN business as
he should have done.
The shiftiess storekeepers, too lacking
in enterprise TO even keep their shops
clean who assure the world they would
have been shining lights IF they had
only gone into some profession; and the
chronically tired lawyers and doctors
who have not energy enough TO keep up
with their professions who do not hesi-
tate to declare that they would have
been merchant princes IF only they
had gone into commerce.
The Ignorant and illiterate who would
have beea brilliant and intelligent If
only they had been to college in their
youth.
All the down and cutters who would
have done marvellous things IF only
they had had any chance in life.
The women who would write great
books, or paint great pictures IF only
they had time,
The lazy, selfish, self-indulgent women
who lie on the bed and eat chocolate and
let their houses be as filthy as pig stys
and poison their families on bad cooking,
but who saws: Il simply can't do house
work, but | would work my fingers TO
the bone IF | had something artistic
to do like being q grand opera singer, or
acting ii the movies
The virago whose temper makes life a
purgatory for her husband and children
but who says: Il would be as amiable
as an angel If il wasn't for my poor
nerves.
The weak mother whose children are
the terror of the community who SAYS: /
know that Johnny and Mamie should be
controlled and taught to obey and !
would do it IF they didn't have such
sensitive dispositions.
And so on. ad infinitum. You know
how the whole aim of self-excusers take
refuge under IF, which covers more sins
than the justly famous mantle of charity
It's so easy to say that If conditions had
been different you would have bee.I
different, and after you repeat this state
ment enough times you come TO believe
it yourself.
The individual who can not rise superior
to his environment, who can not fight
his way out of any place in which he
finds himself, would simply have been a
cumberer of the ground where ever he
was put by fate. Poverty Flat would
have won no races in Millionaire Row.

once apparent that the note which fol
lows the bowing Of violin string must
be due 20 a movement Of the string. In
fact, IL is in order that this vibration OF
the violin string may be Of a certain
definite speed that resin is applied 70
the bow, thus increasing the friction
between the two and making il compara-
lively simple for the violinist 10 extract
the desired notes from his instrument.
The sound Of violin string, however,
differs from that made by the string ~ >
harp or piano because the length and
material Of tho strings are different and
also because the violin string is held
tightly in place while the others are free
to vIbrate until their own tension brings
them to halt Plucking a violin string
therefore results in a quick staecato note
which ceases almost instantly, while the
note made by the bow lasts only while
the friction due to the resin isin progress,

ner in which il is held in place IT either

Bankers to Consult 1t. S. on All
Deals Involving Other Nations

At the same time it became known
to-day that representatives of the Fed
cral Reserve Board and the Treasury
already have begun to select the con-
ferees for second conference of bank
ers, such as that which recently as
sembled at the White House The sec
ond conference is expected to include
bankers from the West
The assurances received from the
Eastern bankers in this country and
foreign borrowers being in line with
the governments policies for economic
readJustment, proposals for either di-
rect loans or bond issues in this coun-
try suggested by either private banks
abroad or foreign governments, it was
explained, would be submitted to the
government for investigation. In this
way, 1T was asserted, the advisability
o. proposed advances overseas would
be worked out comparatively in the
hight of the best interests of the
nation.
However, Administration spokesmen
declared, the participation of the gov
ernment in future international finance
problems could not be taken to mean
that official acquiescence to any loans
hereafter would imply guaranty Of
the transactions.

ances are understood to have been

was imperative that there should be
the fullest cooperation between the

transactions of an international char
acter.
The understanding reached between
the government and the international
bankers was said to be of broad and
general character.
Formal government approval, it is

Forbes Urges Filipinos
To Fit Selves to Rule
Declares He Has Never Criti.
cized Their Desire for
Independence

MANILA, P. L.. June (By The AS
sociated Press) Delayed Speaking
to-day before the Columbian Assoca-
ton, whose membership is composed
largely of Filipinos educated abroad,
w. Cameron Forbes, who. with Major
General Leonard Wood, comprises
President Harding's mission to the
Philippines, outlined the attitude he
said he had always taken in regard to
Philippine independence.
II have never criticized the Filipinos
for desiring their independence" he
declared. 81 have never discouraged
the demand for Philippine independ-
ence and have never encouraged it.
What I've hoped has been that this
desire for freedom will prove the
stimulus for you to do those things
which make you capable of nationality,
to get your country into shape for it,
Americanlsm pervaded speeches
which Mr. FORBES and General Wood
made before the Rotary Club luncheon
III their honor. General Wood said he
was confident that a new era was ap-
preaching in which America will have
her full share of foreign trade.
II believe that in the future" Gen
eral Wood said "you will have more
and better support from your govern
ment than you had before. With the
war over we are looking upon the COM
merce problem in new light"
