BACK TO SANITY.
memory.

Real work for an honest wage is the slogan
that is bringing this country back to normal
prominent business expert Gays the people are
stabilizng their thoughts we'll as their methods,
and the ultimate consumer is coming into his own
again. No one is buying thoughtlessly these days,
but everybody is taking care to get hundred
cents of merchandise value for every dollar. The
average man these days is looking for quality in
stead Of quantity and drives as good bargain as
he can get. Advices from various sections show
that price readjustment is still under way. with
many articles near bottom level This will go far
toward reducing living expenses and making 1t
easier for the average family to get along
Suspension of dividends in many cases since the
beginning of 1921 shows that the invested dollar
is receiving relatively much smaller return than
the wage dollar. This is because the work of de-
flating investments began long before the work of
debating wages became the paramount influence
in American finance. While there are irritating
controversies in many industries and serious fric-
ton in quarters where the professional agitator
exercises a commanding influence, the outstand-
ing fact is that the exorbitant wage schedule Of
the war days is being gradually reduced This is
an immense achievement, for the wage item looms
largest in nearly all production costs and labor
must contribute something forthwith to the re-
adjustment of worldwide conditions
There is good reason to believe that the rail-
roads, as we'll as general business. have turned
the corner and that there are much better days
ahead. The food hazard is not nearly as formid-
able as it was. There never such world
condition before and, while we hold more than
33 per cent of the worlds stock of gold, we have
an enormous responsibility in administering the
trust so as to support the weak and sustain those
nations whose heroic services helped save us from
the humiliation OF having to deliver Fourth of
July orations in German.
One OF the outstanding facts Justifying conf
dence Is the crop outlook. which is reassuring,
and there are many reasons for believing that the
out-turn of the harvests will be highly satisfac-
tory this year. The farmers have been hard hit
by the reduced prices but there is good reason to
believe that they will not make bad showing
on the years business seemed probable few
weeks ago.
Generally speaking. those who are capable OF
Judging agree that the outlook all along the line
is much better than month ago.

bit girl might forget what she
said and try to play some tricks
on him, such as tagging him or
playing hide-and- go-seek. But
Bunty was very good. She walked
quietly along, skipping now and
then, to be sure, but not too
much. And she gathered many
flowers.
At last Uncle Wiggily and
Bunty reached the store, and
there the rabbit gentleman bought
the sugar and bread.
Nov, let's hurry home!" said
Baby Bunty. II want to put

II can't hurry too much"
Uncle Wiggily answered. my

I'll do the best l can"
Baby Bunty started to hop, but
all of sudden she cried.
"Oh, / must get some of those
blossoms" and she pointed to a
clump OF yellow posies growing
amid the green grass Of a near

"I'll wait for you" said Uncle
Wiggily, and he sat down on a
stump, with the bread and SUI

"oh, but you have to rum"
said Baby Bunty, jumping up and
down, she was so excited.
"Why have l got to rum"
asked the bunny. and he rubbed
the end of his pink, twinkling
nose with his tall silk hat.
Because the bad old Skillery
Scallery Alligator is coming down
the hill after us!" cried Baby
Bunty.

II did, but you were asleep"

Don't stop. Uncle Wiggily.
Don't stop!" begged Baby Bupty,

could hardly run any more.

the little rabbit girl. when he

yellow flowers on the path. Along

Uncle Wiggily. when they wer,

ANSWERED LETTERS.

B. S. B.-Your teeth should be
cleaned by dentist. After that
you will be able to keep them
looking white yourself. To keep
your blonde hair from turning
brown, try lemon juice and bak-
ing soda in the last rinse water,
after the regular shampoo. The
proportions are a tablespoonful OF
juice and one-third or teaspoon
full of soda to two quarts of water.
Dry the hair in the sun and go
without hat when convenient.
Mrs. e. f. M.-If you send a
stamped, addressed envelope. l
shall be pleased to mail you an un-
usual tonic formula for just such
condition as yours. Massage the
scalp every night, and in addition
the night before the shampoo use
hot crude oil on the scalp. Your
general health will affect the con-
dition of your hair.
NJ. E. B.-You can bleach and
clean your panama hat by rubbing
into the straw a paste made from
flour of sulphur and water. Be
generous with this whenever there
is an unusually discolored spot.
Hang the hat out In the full sun
shine, as this with the sulphur
does the bleaching. All straw hats
of natural color can be restored by
this method. A rust spot, which so
often happens from the hat wir-
ing, will bleach out If the spot is
kept moistened with lemon juice
and sprinkled with salt. The sun
shine is needed for this, also.
Two.--You are 20 pounds over
weight. If you reduce to normal
you will lose that roll over the top

PREMIER SHUTS MAY
PAY BELFAST A VISIT

Belfast, July Thy the Associat-
ed Press. Gen. J. c. SHUTS, pre-
mier of South Africa thus far has
not visited Belfast although no
surprise would be occasioned II he
came. 1t is believed part Of the
object of such a mission would be
to concilIate constitutional nation
alist sentiment, which, according
to political leaders here, was
greatly hurt by failure to invite q
nationalist representative, such as
Joseph Devlin or John Dillon, TO
the proposed conference in London
of southern and northern Irish
leaders and members of the Brit
ish government.
Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre-
mier, and General SHUTS are old
acuuaintances. They fought on
opposite sides in the Boer war.
A London dispatch Of Sunday
said rumors had reached that city
that General SHUTS had been in
ireland in connection with the
peace movement. No confirmation
of his visit could be obtained in
Dublin or Belfast, however, the
dispatch added. The London Times
said It learned from its Dublin cor.
respondent that while General
SHUTS had not yet visited Dublin
he was expected there soon.

NUMBER CLAIMS
DISABLED VETS
BEING REDUCED
Reduction of 29,476 Was
Effected During Last
Three Months of Fiscal
Year, Director Says.
Especial Correspondence to The Journal


Washington, July A reduc-
ton of 29,476 in the number of
pending compensation and insur-
ance claims of former service men
and women has been effected dur
ing the last three months of the
fiscal year ending July /. j. is an
nounced today by Director c. r.
Forbes of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance. This reduction in
the number of claims on which
final action is still to be taken has
been accomplished notwithstand-
the fact that new claims have been
reaching the Bureau during that
period at an average rate of from
700 to 500 day, and that these
new cases receive at once as COM
plete action as is possible on the
data presented. 1
On April 1, 1921. there were
pending before the Bureau 99,4O1
claims for compensation and 5,78S
insurance claims; on July /, 1921,
the account stands $1,000 pend
ing compensation claims and 3,02b
pending insurance claims, while
during that period of time 56t25S
new claims have been filed with the
Bureau.
A determined drive toward the
goal of a current basis in hand

men has been instituted in the

chart is prepared and posted II

sation and Insurance Glass Divislor
where action on the claim Is in
itiated. and on this appears the
number of waiting claims appor
toned to that section and the esti
mated account as 1t should stanf
1 at the close Of the week. Many o
the units are now running aheat
of their schedule of reduction o
