singer and by Senator Hitchcock Of Ne
braska, who has asked the senate bank
Ing and currency committee to hold
hearing on his bill, which proposes the
creation Of bank OF nations.
Mr.. Crissinger and Senator Hitch
cock are working along somewhat diff

creation OF an agency which will help
to stabilize international exchange
The Hitchcock bill establishes bank
of nations with "A capital of $24OO, OOO,-

the treasury shall subscribe to $1,000
100000 of that capital for the United
States, paying One-third of II In goii

under his control These bonds might
be British bonds or French bonds or

The remaining $500, 100000 OF the cnp-
ital would be offered to the other M.
lions of the world with the privilege
OF paying One-thlrd In gold and two
thirds In acceptable bonds. The bill
permits the other nations by treaties
made through the president OF the
United States to establish their rights
as stockholders In the bank.
Criticism Is directed against the
Hitchcock bill on the ground that Il
provides for governmental participa-
ton In the banking business. Senator
Mclean of Connecticut, who Is chair
man of the committee on banking ana
currency, before which the bill Is pend
Ing, holds the view that II a bank Of
this kind Is established the capital
should come from private persons ana
not be taken out OF the treasury of the
United States. Leading bankers OF the
country hold the same view. Senator
Hitchcock. however, IN answering these
arguments, contends that such a bank
20 be successful must have the power
of the government behind IL and that,
Furthermore, Il must have the backing
not only Of the government OF the Unit
ed States, but OF union OF govern
ments
Senator Hitchcock believes that
bank OF nations Of this kind could
greatly aid in stablizing financial con-
dltions OF the world. The proposed
bank would have authority to issue
currency TO be known as the interna
tional dollar
IL would dedicate the bank OF ma.

OLD LEGEND OF MANDALAY
FaneifuI Story Which Accounts for the
Doofish Being Held Sacred
In that Country.

Dogfish are held sacred In Mandalay
for a very picturesque and romantic
reason, which goes back long way
In history. The legend Of the sacred
fish is that once upon a time king
Of Pagan wed Shan princess, who
had an earring In which was set q
relic OF Buddha. All went well with
their romance for a while. Finally the
king tired OF her, and seeing that the
relic was shining unnaturally, and be-
ing superstitious. he labeled his wife
witch and cast her out.
Returning to her home, she made
up her mind to dispose Of the relic,
which she blamed for her misfortune.
When near Shwezayan she decided to
bury 1t. and erected a pagoda over II,
thus converting the place into a shrine.
Some years later the king was nOti-
fed that large fish cOngregated near
this spot. on the Myitynge river, at
certalns seasons of the year. The fish,
1t was found, would come up to be
fed by hand. He caused his minister
to put gold leaf on the fishes heads.
Once, after doing this, the minister
had to go 10 Bhamo. and to his sur
prise he saw some Of the same fish,
with the gold leaf on their heads, at
pagoda festival In the Irrawaddy
river. On his return he notified the
king. who In turn made the pagoda
at Shwezayan, which had attracted the
fish. a sacred place. Since then the
dOgfish have been treated as sacred.

OWN YOUR OWN HOME.

but the nation still awaits a home run from congress. Senators Calder Edge and Kenyon have made their important recommendations. but as yet nothing has come of them.
 City Building Projects
 Meantime various cities have at tempted relief measures. A few have themselves gone into the home build ing business for the benefit of the public, while others have placed re- strictive measures upon profiteering landlords. New York has made things as pleasant as possible for the home building public by exempting its property from taxes for the next five years.
 But, for the most part, the would be home owner is left to solSe his difficulties for himself He can either build a house at the present high cost of building materials know ing that eventually that price must come down: or he can pay an exorbi- tant rent for a house which he never will, and probably wouldn't want to own. In one case he buys stock that is certain to go down, in the other he pays a large rate of interest on stock that belongs to someone else. Of the two alternatives building seems to OIIer the better returns.
 | Take, for instance. a house which costs $6545, including the price of the l land. If rented, the owner would de- mand Is per cent profit on his in- vestment, which would make the monthly rental sS1.64 Gin New York a house of this value would bring sl0t a month"; Now the homebuilder has only $1260 invested in his property He must pay interest on the mort gage in addition to the taxes, but al- together his entire carrying charges come to just $33 month In build ing he saved nearly $50 a month which would have gone to a landlord had the house been occupied on g rental basis.
 One of the greatest deterrents tc home building on nation wide scale of course, is the inability of a large number of citizens to obtain the nee essary capital. They are perfectly willing to build homes, long to do so in fact. but they cannot even begir to pay for the lumber. To these leager but thwarted Own Your Own -Homers' perhaps the building and loan association is the bes answer.
 To the person who owns the lanC upon which he wishes to build, ol who has saved enough to pay one. fourth or one-third on piece e property, the building and- loan as sociation lends the necessary capital which the borrower pays off in reg ular monthly payments.

 The payment of half billion dollars annually looks heavy, but it may be carried. The fact re- mains, however that if the full of bonds issued the fixed provides for only $500 0oo- 900 of the s7oooOoooo required to meet the interest charge. This would leave SIP 900 to be met out of exports unless some other of payment be devised If Germany is to export goods she must import materials and food stuffs well.

 In the final analysis Germany can meet her obligations only in way-by bringing the tation of her industrial products to point that will give her balance values abroad in of essential imports of food suffs and materials in addition provide an equal that which she pay annually to her former foes. No from what angle the situation is viewed. Ger such she will be able to obtain the her sales her purchases in foreign markets.
 This means that not only the Allied nations must buy from her in what they sell. the whole world must be purchaser of German goods. It is at all improbable that the United will be called to take from her from quarter to half billion dollars per above the value of our exports to Germany. In this way Germany will be able to pay her debts. and in the ultimate sense all other nations may be benefited. At the time the internal economic position of several ries including the United States itself is likely be greatly unsettled result of the competition German goods with domestic manufactures

THE RETURN TO NORMALCY
BY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright. 1921. by Frank Craney

The fundamental force of the world is health. By and by everything gets well.
 And the world which has been desperately sick IS going to get well.
 Unseen and not spectacular the vast recuperatve forces of humanity gathering strength
 Those who say that business in the United States will never be what 1t was that never get back again the good old days of 1913, mistaken We shall get back to them and go far beyond there. =,
 So in time will the rest of the world recover The British Empire will solve it's perplexing problems both Irish and industrial, and discharge efficient Fly the task for which destiny has designed it.
 France will bloom again. Italy will come out of her troubles. Even Germany Russia, and all Bakanized Europe will settle down to work and to production
 It doesn't take prophet to foretel this. All it takes is knowledge of the quite apparent laws of social progress.
 If we can only by some sort of concert of nations, remove the possibility of another there is no doubt of eventual prosperity everywhere
 But we must not look for this too MT. Horace S. Wilkinson at the head of the Crucble Steel Company uttered some very sound opinions recently Mr. Wkln- son the head of army of 1000 producers ought to know what he is talking about He understands the steel business and steel might be called the backbone of all business.
 He said in substance:
 'The world is in very bad way and it is not going to get well in hurry. The affairs of readJustment are operation and readjustment takes time It only takes minute to break your arm, but 1t takes good many weeks for your arm to get we'll
 And there be permanent recovery until every body gets rid of the septic ideas engendered by the We all spread too much Every seems to think that the inflated profits and and prices of war times going to continue They will not because they are not sound.
 Already the producers know this and have trimmed down expenses mercessy and cut prices The retailer has not yet fully realized this He has stocked goods at high price and he is willing to take his loss and mark them down. The result is what you call buyers strike Railroads and manufacturing concerns will not buy million dollars worth of supplies when they think that by waiting they get them for half million For the same reason will not pay SIP for hat and S15 for pair of shoes and $160 for a suit of clothes no matter what the retailer had to for them himself because he knows in time these prices must be scaled down.
 ssThe only way to get universal prosperity IS for everybody to accept the fact that he must readust business He must take his loss and start and the longer he postpones this the worse it will be for him and for the country.
 sThere is no doubt of eventual prosperity, but that Twill only come when there is universal acceptance of the situation and the whole business world gets down to sound basis
