 A cLAd may sink battleship in time, if 1t is given a drill and an op- portun1ty to work with 1t. Naturally the big bcgnbs will do so. But it might be a different matter were the ships manned and able to throw up defense of shrapnel and were they s-eered by an able officer at a max mum speed They would be harder to hit and their attackers would have to spend a part l>f the time, at least, ill looking out for their own safety.

 Our money is worth more than anyone else's, we are the bankers of the world, we have the cash. There fore we will find that the others will work for us, to get some of that money which has the greatest value. No matter what the German may be getting in marks they are worth com paratively little outside. Consequent ly he may sell his products to us and get a greater amount of real money in exchange. There is the rub, the penalty of being the rich land It
 would be very nice to become the idle nation the one which allows others to do the work, but we could not af- ford to do it for long. We must pro- duce and trade also, or we shall be underneath the pile, through loss in money value Stabilization is the re- ouirement, t must be brought about A short time ago China, one of the
 best friends that America has in the | ia naily of nations, sought bids on loco motives and freight cars. Belgium
 got the order for the cars, England
 for the locomotives. Our firms were
 underbid about thirty per cent, and,
 in addition, credit facilities were bet

 lower value of German money, but
 we are losing trade on foreign mar
 kets ourselves. The exchange situa- tion is a difficult one to face.

HEALTH BOARD DOCTOR

Why it is that the City of New Brit am hnds 1t necessary to go abroad for a doctor to take charge of the To- cal health board affairs is a query that arises in our minds A doctor rom as far away as Milwaukee is being examined today with a view to obtaining his services We know nothing whatever about him, have never seen the gentleman, but it seems that we are going a long, long way from home for our talent.
 Providing that he is a "world- beater' one of the leaders in his pro- fession in the United States and that ne will come here for the salary we offer, we should hire kim. There is no doubt but that we should have the best obtainable. But doctors of such prominence are not seeking jobs at the head of such departments as towns the size of New Britain have, and We would find it impossible to hire an individual of those talents should We go bidding for his serv- ices. That is obvious. At our salary we must get a man, from outside
 who is par" doctor. We can get a local man who may be above that par trif1e for the same price. He will not have to move, source of much expense, he would know the city, and, providing that he had had the necessary education, it would not
 take long for him to get the hang of the detail necessary for the conduct
 of the New Britain health affairs
 to see what has to be done, there is
 advice available from several sources
 that an out-of-town man might not find available.
 We are not conducting laboratories
 we are not seeking to develop any
 particular branch of the medical
 science, we are simply trying to sec
 that the health of the people is ade-
 quately guarded by person who is
 sufficiently familiar with the ordinary
 rules of public health and a genera education il medical subjects to con duct the office. Rules of procedure are plainly written. layman migh not be able to hold the office, but an. 1 doctor should.

LONG JIM WINS OUT.

The American open championship has been decided at the Columbia Country club golf links in Washing ton, and Long Jim Barnes, an Am erican professional, playing from the Pelham Country club is the holder of the hone>'s. He trimmed a large field of ste,1ing golfers in a decisive manner, b.tngina back to this coun- try the coveted championship which Ted Ray succeAIed in capturing last year for England. Last year the British open and Nhe American open were won by Britishers, this year Jock Hutchinson unveiled to St. Andrews and returl,ed with the American cup in our possession, thanks to Barnes although two Am erican pros finished tied tor. second. The best that England could finish was ninth place, with Georsa Dun can, two American amateurs, Hobby Jones and Evans finished ahead of him. Jock Hutchinson stood nine- teenth in the list despite his supN5- iority abroad.
 New Britain takes a real interest in Barnes. He and Hagen, who tied for second, gave an interesting ex- hibition match here year or so ago. the big lean golfer is a pleasure to watch, fact which a large gallery of people learned at the Shuttle Meadow club.
 Golf is a peculiar game which is demonstrated by the placings in the tournam ent Bobby Jones, who tore up his card in England recently finished fourth next to the veteran condition in England and mada a poor showing although he had a valid excuse.

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS
\ PRICELESS PEARL.
By John J. Daly

A PRICELESS PEARL. Some night - it may be long, They'll moan for me beneath the moon
 And I, I shall not hear. I shall not hear them sigh for Who had shared their revelry
 Throughout each passing year We come, go, upon our way Like dark of night like dawn of day;
 An echo of song. And each knows the silent call That for him a funeral pail,
 And does not tarry long. Beneath a far-off foreign sky Or here at home where'er I die,
 No trustees need be told. I shall not leave for those behind A treasure trove of any kind
 With diamond.dust and gold And yet, now bequeath this thought. Some things there are no gold has bought,
 And gold shall never buy! Just one of these you'll see that day When netghbors carry me away
 A tear-drop in an eye.

The general average for the Amer tcan workmen is $3298 per week, against $5.4O for the German. The natural reaction is the importation of foreign goods into this country in great volume. It is cheaper and the man with what he considers little money to spend vii: take advantage of the difference in price. Tariff pro- lection, even at 100 per cent duty would not be great enough to equalize the difference that may be made in the prices owing to wages. The American workman, when he pur- chases foreign goods, does not take into account that he is indirectly hurting himself, although he is scarcely to be blamed-he looks at nothing but price.
 The exchange rate has a great deal to do with the situation. Wages are figured in the above table at present exchange, which is far below par as far as Germany is concerned. The wage situation, as far as actual wages go, is not our great trouble. George R. Myercord, president of the illinois Manufacturers association is quoted as saying that there is no chance of increasing world purchas- ng power by substituting one dollar European workmen for six dollar Americans and the only possible way of stabilizing Europe is on American
