unoccupied territory had been open
ed to exploitation and we were
turning to more intensive develop
ment-the larger and better utiIiza-
ton Of the things which we were
already using. We we're beginning
to export capital 4on a small scale.
This change from a debtor to 4
creditor country was accelerated by
the war.
And now we have definitely Mach
ed the position of other highly de-
yeloped nations. Foreign countries
have borrowed from us 70 the eX-
tent of more than $4,000. 000,0 900,
of which huge amount 50, 500, O0O,-
600 of funded debt is owed 70 pri
Sate lenders in this country. More
over, the movement of capital from
this country to other lands Is still
going on. for foreign loans Of a to-
tai of nearly s100,OGO.000 were
placed in this market in the first
two months of 1921. We must con-
tinue on this path of development
or we shalt lose our place Of eco
nomic and political power in the
world. and with 1t our high hopes
and ideals of service to mankind.

"Pain Points"

On every human body there are
four million pain points connected
by nerves with the brain. They are,
of course. distributed very unevenly.
They are placed closest together at
the tips of the fingers and are fur
thest apart in the back. Anyone can
test this for himself. If you will
place two needles one quarter of an
inch apart by sticking them into a
piece of cardboard you will have a
very effective instrument for max
ing tests. Put your fin4r on these
two points and you will, of course,
feel both Of them. Now apply them
to the small of your back and YOU
will feel but one point In other
words, the nerve centers in your back
at this point are more than a quarter
of an inch apart.-Boys' Life.

imported in excess of our exports.
Clearly. other nations cannot sell
goods to us in sufficient amounts to
liGuidate their huge indebte dness. If
our international trade is to be-sad-
died with burdenSome duties.
The only other considerable
means by which foreigners can pay
their debts to us is by our continued
export If capital on a large scale.
While these and other items re-
main Of considerable importance on
the debit side of our foreign trade
balance it is quite conceivable that
our exports of merchandise will re-
main in excess Of our merchandise
imports. Fl is certain, however.
that the enormous excess which is
characteristic of our present trade
will be considerably diminished.

At the present time we are in the
anomalous position of exporting
both capital and merchandise i'll ex-
cess of our merchandise imports.
Such a condition cannot continue
indefinitely. for it would lead far
away from any true balance Of
trade.
1t is obvious, then, that when
those countries which owe us for
our goods ana capital are again re-
established. financially and econom-
ically. they will have TO pay us with
something more tangible than new
or refunded loans. Obviously there
are only two methods by which this
Indebtedness can be liquidated
One considerable means at hand
for payment OF the enormous sums
owed to us is in the form of goods
