 Germany's reparations debts are pay able abroad: hence it is the volume Of her foreign transactions that will en- able her to pay much or little. The variations in the exports ought justly to affect the sums due abroad in any one year; therefore, by taking a per centage of the export values, the allies Will take the true me easure of Ger many's power to pay outside the coun- try.

One Way to Attract Customers

In a small New England town l met
druggist who makes a speciality Of
selling postage stamps. He says that to
retail 2-cent stamps for 2 cents each
Is the most profitable line In his store.
These sales would be extremely un-
prof able, II he handled stamps
grouchily or grudgingly, saying by his
manner: "Whatta you mean by both
ering me to sell you postage stampsT'
But he has signs in his window tell
ing that he has plenty of stamps, and
makes special effort to be more
pleasant and accommodating and gra-
cious about stamp sale than at any
other time. He has attracted thou
sands of permanent customers in that
way. "a new customer is worth many
dollars year." he observes, whether
the thing that first brought him in Is
postage stamps, cigars or whatnot.
So having enticed him in, why should
l do anything to make him sorry he
came?"-Fred Kelly In The Nations
