TRUE TO HABIT.

Wherever American troops in France their persistence in the of bath tubs and swimming places and their penchant for outdoor play was a matter of remark. Public playfelds and baths have been among the first steps toward betterment of v- ing conditions to be taken by all American large cities for many years. Therefore it was but in keep ing with American habit that the American Colony in Mexico City, when discussing what should be their part toward the commemoration the centennial of ,Mexicos independence should decide upon playheds for the children The American residents of the Mexican capital raised the money and provided four playfeds for children located in the four sections of the city.

Mystery Where There Is No Mystery.
(Cordova Times. ]


 One of the curious things about men who have things to se from the man who has good. eat lable currant bun his counters, to him who has a $20, 900 machine the market is that many of them look advertising something mysterious Indeed, there are some who hedge it about with much mysticism that they engender increduty and Therefore do not advertise at all Such men their Town worst enemies
 I But where do you find reader of advertisements who looks upon them mysteries? Nowhere. The great of people who read newspapers and maga- zines, look advertisements with much the same spirit that they do the news reading features, Editorials and stories.
 The trouble with that man who has something to Bell and who considers advertising something mys- terious is that he has entirely wrong view of the subject. There be mystery in industry dvertising-whose greatest power from play fling in the open.
 Lies and misrepresentation in advertising are splendid routes to the poor house It is easily proved that it is far-far away-more profitable to tell the Ptruth very time in advertisement. No great education is needed to prove the truth lof the effectiveness of advertising. If the who is in doubt about it. who looks advertising a mystery, will make up his mind to give ten hours of his life-only ten hours-to reading study of it's value, he will get all the education he needs Read book by expert the subject and your eyes will be opened-wide

Senator Borah declares that "any plan any program which makes the question of dis armament a subordinate incidental proposition rather than the main and controlling proposition will result in the future it has in the past in relief to the taxpayer and relief from war"
 Both Secretary Hughes and Senator Borah be- lieved to have had in mind the provision in the call for the Washington conference by President Harding for a consideration Pacific problems by the con ferees. It would that Secretary Hughes marks would require amplifcation make them convincing. Yet there many, apparently, who argument that has been advanced against abandon Ing the construction program of the Navy Department
 It would plain that to the causes for armament would be the best and satisfactory step toward disarmament that it is difficult to ceve of just ground to critcise the Administration for wanting get satisfactory basis settlement of Pacific problems. Senator Borah knows ought to know, the New York World and the other critics of the Administrations actions in this matter know, ought to know that Japans foreign policy many years has been aggressive of acquisition by CT threat of force.

CHEAP MONEY OFFERED AS A REMEDY

AS has always been the in periods of de- presson the advocates of cheap money are offering their remedy for the solution of the present hard times in the country. w. c. Durant of New York City. President of the Durant Motors Company, sued circular letter to various commercial organiza- tions throughout the country. including the Juneau Commercial Association, in which he says the lack of sufficient and the curtailment credits are the causes of the depression in business He urges that the Government immediately make all Liberty Bonds and other obligations of the United States full legal tender for all purposes. He also urges that the redscount the Federal Reserve banks be reduced to per cent, and that banks inn mediately become more liberal in making loans, sug- gestng that call loan interest be placed at l per cent This is perhaps, radical in its suggestions than most of the cheap money advocates have been but those who want easier to-get money are plentiful.
 This Is not attitude in the United States During the depression that followed the Civil War we had our "Greenbackers" During the hard times of the '90s which followed era of heavy borrow ing railroad construction and Western speculation. we had the Farmers Alliance and the demand for warehouse certificate money The more conserva- i've of the advocates of cheaper money then made 1ery strenuous and very nearly successful effort to
