Holiday on the Rhine
 Costs LOGO, 1000 a Month

0 CCORDING to Senator Borah, &A the United States had in Ger many when the last available report was at hand, 13,7S5 officers and men, including 4S0 commissioned of ficers and 20 warrant officers. It costs in round numbers $1,000,000 a month to keep this army on the Rhine. MT. Borah says that on April 30, 1921, the balance owed to the United States by Germany for the maintenance of our troops was S240,744,511.S9. Germany is re- sponsible for their upkeep, but Ger many is not paying.
 Like a great many other Ameri- cans, Senator Borah wants to know what practical advantage is being derived by the United States from the presence of an army of approxi- mately 14,0o0 men on the, Rhine. If we accept the doughboy's point of view, he is having the time of his life, but it is a somewhat costly holiday" to the American govern ment.
 The ratification of a treaty of peace with Germany will probably bring our soldiers home. While there may be no practical advantage in maintaining an army of occupa- tion on the Rhine, it was useful, and no doubt is yet, for political req sons. The presence of American soldiers on German soil was notice to the German government that America had not abandoned the al lies.

Formal Welcome for
 pr. George R. Stuart

TYR. GEORGE R. STUART, wide lV ly known pastor of the First Methodist church in Birmingham, is about to return to his duties after several months of serious illness.
 Dr. Stuart curing his pastorate here has made himself felt so strongly and has been such a pow erful influence in the community for good, both inside and outside his own church, that it is not surprising that the suggestion should be made by Joseph H. Loveman that Bir- mingham should accord him some sort of homecoming or formal wei come.
 The suggestion, coming from a leading citizen of the Jewish faith is an example of the sentiment of the entire community toward Dr Stuart. All appreciate his great services of the past and all rejoice that he is restored to health and is to resume his duties.
 It wouM indeed be most fitting ii Mir. Loveman were urged to follow up his suggestion and to take the lead in arranging some sort of pub lie welcome where Dr. Stuart coulC be told of Birmingham's deep ap, .preciation of his services.
 The work being done by the great pastoral leaders of various denomi nations in this city is such as to at tract national attention. Dr. Stu art is conspicuous member of this notable group. It is, therefore, ap propriate that Birmingham should show its feeling of relief that he i: restored to health and that he is tt continue his work for his grea church in this city.

Conference Meets to
 Discuss Unempioyment

1T T is a mistake to assume that the 0 unemployment conference will find panacea for all the ills that now afflict America. This is not the purpose of the representatives who have assembled in Washington to discuss the situation. They may however, learn what some of tke causes are which have resulted in widespread unemployment and make suggestions which will bring relief
 There is no great mystery about the demoralization which has fol- lowed the World war. It was inevit- able and was foreseen by captains of industry and financiers. Mir. Harding is correct in saying that it could not have been prevented, no matter what course had been adopt ed by the government, although it might have been minimized to some extent if we had co-operated more promptly in helping Europe to solve her problems.
 If it is true that there is unjusti- liable timidity among some of the cour<ry's capitalists and manufac- turers and the situation is not as bad as it has been painted, then the conference will serve a worth while purpose by making practical sugges- tions for better distribution of the nations unemployed and strengthen ing confidence. The conference will eonfine itself solely to unemploy- ment and none of the questions at issue between capital and labor will be injected. That should promote harmony and enable the industrial economic and labor leaders who are taking part in the conference to de- vote themselves to the task before them without bringing up old quar- rels.
 Neither doles from the treasury nor legislative enaetments are needed Hard work, sacrifices on both sides and a restoration of American pluck and energy will "put business on it's feet" What we need in America is more of the "carry on" spirit and less pessimism.

SMOKING AND READING

From the Kansas City Star. 6T1HE question of providing smok
 ing rooms in public libraries
 S - is agitating some eastern cities, and if we are not misinformed the innnovation has been put in eff feet in some places, with what re- suits is not known. Possibly with none. E
 But if this experiment In the stim- ulation of reading Is to become gen. eral, it is to be hoped smokers them- selves, or rather readers who smoke at their reading, will be consulted as to it's application. For Qndoubt- edly there must be some rules and some restrictions laid down, else the smoking privilege will defeat it's own object and what are <set aside as reading and smoking rooms will be- come smoking rooms merely. It should come within the authority of the library to say, therefore, when reader shall smoke and even what. II ought not to be necessary to say that in this the library should be guided by experts. Our own notion is that serious readers, those who incline 10 books of admitted import, of history, biology. philosophy. essays, should be required to smoke pipes. Cigars, we hold. 20 with conversation. and cigar
 ranrab e e h1 e trifling with time
 When a man lights pipe and sits down with a book you can be pretty sure he has a mind open to the re- ception of great truths Him we would encourage to the fullest use of library smoking privileges. He is dependable. Pipe smokers have sta ble, settled minds, impervious to dan gerous doctrine and can be trusted with books we never would think of putting into the hands of a man with a cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth, or even of one elegantly 1 trifling with a cigar. Observe, If you please. that a pipe smoker at his reading holds his pipe firmly in his 1 teeth. That in itself indicates pur- poseful jaw, an intent mind and an all-around firmness of character. Your cigar smoker has his cigar in his hand a good part of the time. He turns it in his fingers, deposits the ash, watches lazily thescurling smoke. His mind is not on his reading; it's a wandering, unfixed mind, incon- stant, probably; mind hardly to be allowed,to choose its own books. That should be done by committee.

6HHE statement of Chief of Police
 ll Charles Fitzmorris that half of the more than 5000 members of Chicago's police department are in volved in violations of liquor laws is probably no exaggeration. Chicago has been notoriously wet ever since national prohibition went into effect and such a condition of affairs could not have continued without some connivance on the part of the police.
 The same situation prevails to a greater or less extent in nearly every large city in the country. It is due to two reasons, the apathy of public sentiment regarding a strict

Instalment Furniture
 Dealers a Benefactor

6NHE instalment furniture dealer u has been subject to many a jest, but in millions of comfortable ! American homes there are men, women and children who call him blessed. Although the practice of selling furniture Ion time" is almost universal, it is surprising to learn that less than 300 of the more than 20,00O furniture dealers in the United States sell strictly for cash. These figures are taken from a re- cent issue of the Furniture Age.
 This authority estimates that 99 per cent of the furniture sold each year in the United States is bought on the deferred payment plan and it believes that if this were not the case "less than one-third of Amer 
 ica's 10,000,000 homes would be fully and comfortably furnished"
 The furniture dealer may not re- gard himself as a public benefactor but he may justly claim to be the man swho makes dreams come true." Even wealthy people are known to buy additional luxuries fol their homes on the instalment plan while in the case of the young cou- pie of moderate means who are starting out to furnish bungalow the obliging furniture dealer per. mits them to begin housekeeping provided with everything they neec for their comfort and convenience by making a small initial payment Otherwise, it would be years before their home was furnished and the furniture bought to begin housekeep- ing with would be worn out before the last of the wished-for pieces could be added.
 Not only furniture, but nearly
