The world comes TO the United
States, plutocrat among nations.
Our dollar is good, other money
falls away. The worlds gold is
piiing up here-not much good 1t
seems to do us. America, alone,
Is really on a gold basis.
All nations troop to Washington,
led by their prime ministers. II
is a picture, grown up, Of little
boys following the youngster with
money on his way to the candy
store.
When they have got what they
want-first of all wiping out Of
debts already due us-they will go
away again and, in accordance
with human nature, will salve their
injured vanity with scorn for the
dollar nation" or by actually
picking a quarrel with US.
The ablest man in that Wash
ington gathering will be Lloyd
George. He knows his nations
strength and weakness, and tells
the truth. His latest speech is
ablest of all. Unpleasant truths he
tells the English:
"You blame me for dealing with
Sim Fein. All Ireland's power is
back of Sim Fein; nothing else to
deal with.
Beware how you throw away
this chance to make peace. The
alternative is to tax yourselves
heavily, send young men to be
killed in thousands. The whole
Irish. country will be against you.
Remember how hard it was for us
in South Africa. This will be an
other guerrilla war requiring ten
of our men for every one we fight.
Every hill and mountain will
be a Sim Fein fort, every farm
house a Sim Fein source of in
formation. If you decide on
war, it will be a long war and
uncertain war"
Lucky England to have a man
wise enough to realize the
strength of the enemy, not
afraid to tell the truth to his
fellow countrymen.
'Tf you do no like my advice
you need not take it. l shall be
glad to go to the King and say,
i hand you my resignation"
James and Mary Thompson, Of !,
Davills, Conn, married seventy
years ago---he is 102, she 96.
That is a happy marriage.
Each understands everything the
other says. Others would not
understand a thousand things,
deeply important to them. Each
without the other would feel
lost.
That Is what makes marriage
success. It explains Cations
interesting statement that with
ordinary little people, 80 per
cent of us, the later children are
best. With kings and very rich
men, the first child is often the
best-the husband is bored by
the time the second and third
arrive, the wife also, sometimes.
With little people, as years
pass, husband and wife become
more and more to each other,
each child seems more wonder
full than its predecessor, and has
hack Of it more intense affec-
tion than the earlier children.
That is why Caruso, Number 10,
sang so well. ,,
Moral, have more children no
matter how many you have, if

10 YOU know the dinosaur?
Dinosarfr with two brains? He
was seventy feet long, stood up
taller than house. A tiny brain
in his small, snake-like head had
not enough energy to move the
whole huge body, much less think
for 1t.
So, halfway down his backbone,
there was an enlargement of the
spinal cord, and that was another
brain, with nerve centers, con-
trolling the animals lower half.
You see such a monster now, in
China. with four hundred millions
Of inhabitants, patient, industrious,
courageous, but with no govern
ment brain powerful enough to
move and control the whole huge
body.
There is a brain I'm North China,
another halfway down in South
China. Japan and European ma
tions attack and eat China as rats
vsed to eat the feet of the dino
