 NT1HERB have been increasing signs
 of late that Europe is getting
 tired of being treated in Jefferson Brick style by the United States. She may be worn out and bankrupt and cha- otic and all that, but she still has some dregs of self-respect left. And the con stant American assumption that she Is. bound to do whatever we finally make up our minds to order her to do at last rasps her nerves. The proof of this is seen in the multiplying utterances by European statesmen. and in the articles of European newspapers, to the effect that the Harding administration need not expect the nations of Europe to wat humby at the door of the White House to learn their fate.

 The plan, which has been under preparation for several months by those interested in plays and players, was presented by A.

It was the consensus of opinion that stock certificates should be issued in amounts sufficiently small to allow persons of moderate means to purchase them, and that only sound business methods should be followed.
