to be observed on every hand.
The monthly review of the Atlanta Federal
Reserve Bank, issued Friday, shows that the
ratio of gold reserves to Federal reserve
note liability has substantially increased, with
in the past month. The ratio at present is
779 per cent as compared with a ratio of
only SO per cent less than six months ago.
These figures tell the story of the process
undergone in all lines of business. They
show Enthusiastically that member banks of
the Federal Reserve are more and more able
as liquidation is completed, to supply the re-
quirements of their customers without max
ing use of their re-discount facilities.
They show in other words, that loans have
been paid for more rapidly than they have
been made in recent months and that the
general business community is getting down
to basis of hard pan.
There are other evidences. One Of the
most interesting is a substantial increase in
the sale of commercial fertilizer in Georgia
and other southeastern states in recent
weeks At the first of the year it looked as
| if the farmers were not going to buy any
| fertilizer. Then sales began to pick up, and
| in recent weeks have almost equalled the
corresponding months of normal years.
Another evidence is the increase in sales
of motor vehicles which may be taken as an
| infallibIe index of the financial condition of
any community. On the first of April there
| had been registered in Georgia greater
number Of motor vehicles than had been reg
| lSCor6Q on CnS corresponding udLS d ySdi ago.
| Building has been in progress in Atlanta
and other southern cities at most extraor-
! binary rate for year or more. The great
| housing shortage, created by a curtailment of
building activities during the war is being
| taken up rapidly.
| Business concerns are offering satisfactory
| prices and selling goods. Manufacturers are
| placing large orders. Unemployment is slow
ly but surely decreasing.
There can be no doubt that the swing back
| to normal business activity is under full
| Roadway.

A Sick Nation.

WV HEN a sick man tosses on his bed and
w screams in agony the physician is justified
= w in injecting cocaine to deaden the pain.
But the relief is only temporary. After the deaden-
ing effect of the drug has passed the patient will be
uncomfortable as ever.
When a sick nations cries resound through the
world another nation is in duty bound to administer
the drug of charity. But there shodld be no idea
that lasting will result. The disease itself
must be cured the country will die.
Such is now the relation between the United
States and Russia. This expressed with ad-
mirabe clarity by Secretary of Commerce Hoover
in his address the International Chamber of Com
merce Monday evening. The utmost that charity
can do has been done If it were possible to save
still more Russian lives or rescue still more Russian
children from the gnawing pangs Of hunger Ameri-
would not hesitate.
But because the agonzed state is not screaming
quite loudly is not a sign that it is any
restored health.

1t is not probable that Russia's present illness
will prove fatal. She has too strong constitution
for that. Eventually she will throw off the Red
fever, disastrous and contagious which afAicts her
and she will stagger into the open air again.
Meanwhile she may as well admit that she is
dangerously sick and follow the doctors advice The

OF food and clothing medicines for the disease

The patients recovery will be slow and uncer-

TOO many experiments in inconseduential re-
strictive legislation have been carried out in
the District of Columbia. Conduct here is hedged
about by many petty rules that it is difficult ior
the average citizen to realize when he Is breaking

out breaking regulation" said Judge Mat
tinsly in Police Court the other day when he dis

hardly exceeded the literal truth
We have inherited most Of these petty statutes
Many OF them half forgotten except during
spasmodic crusades to enforce them Few people
pay any attention to them.
Imposition Of useless restraints is, perhaps,
necessary i'll in democracy we'll in a
country ruled by absolute authority. We all have
prejudices. Howsoever personal they may be, how
soever unjust to our fellow. citizens, faith
full to them. If given the opportunity when elected
to public Office will translate them into laws.
This has been the case in Washington Some
individual Representative does not like this or that
He has been able to slip Law upon the statute
books forcing the rest of the community to alter
their lives to his perspective. A large number of
petty regulations do not decrease crime They do
not make the city cleaner or better They do make
the enforcement Of law intricate for the police
Some say that the United States is becoming
Prussianized. We believe, however, that the present
tendency is in the other dreetion-that citizens are

of someone who claims to know
something about Spiritualism as to

true adherent to this weird and
occult system of belief. Do they

Mr. Sndy and Rabbi Wise.
n ABBI STEPHEN A. WISE has called Billy

III -
IN Sunday properly to account
The famous evangest's announcement that he
lans to conduct mass meetings in the West Virginia
mountains to preach contentment to striking coal
miners cried out to high heaven for rebuke.
The Christian and Hebrew religions have at
least one common excellence. Both leave an open
ioor for human progress Neither accepts the condi-
lion of humanity at any given period in history
the ultimate expression of Divine will Lack of
this open door has resulted in enslaved peoples un-
der the sway of Mohammedanism, Buddhism, Con-
fucianism and many of the other great systems of
worship.
The question At issue between Billy Sunday
and Rabbi Wise, or between the sensational evan
gelist and any tolerant Christian clergyman extends
lar beyond the local situation in West Virginia. The
miners there perhaps have erred in the direction Of
too great discomfort. Perhaps they have over
emphasized the wrongs to which they sub
Jected. Perhaps they have failed to consider their
own misfortunes in relation to the economic eond-
ton of the country. But the would be far
greater il they accepted blindy their lots in the
world. firm in the faith that their sorrows were the
will of the Almighty and that any action to better
their condition would be sacrilege
"We will point out the truth to men," says
Rabbi Wise, that they not to accept injustice
and wrong and starvation the will of God, but
that the will of God is that there shall be justice
in the world and that always and in
every way to strive for it."
If Mr.. Sunday had his way in the world it
would be short road either to Bolshevism
czarisn,. If his doctrines had been accepted in
Western Europe from the start of the Christian era
civilization still would be at the same stage as
when the Roman Empire fell
Discomfort in man is divine attribute. 1t is
responsible for every step yet taken away from
savagery. 1t is responsible, if to accept the
theory of evolution, for every step made from the
condition where humanity's remote ancestor swung
by his tail from tree branches.
When a forces himself into a state of
supreme content he is, for all practical purposes
dead The only place this side Of heaven where
contentment is natural is the coffin.

The Ideal Woman.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
I have been reading with much
interest the views OF contributors
to the open Court" as to the ideal
woman.
1t is really inspiring to observe
that some men still cherish ideals
of womanhood that would place
them among the saints. 1t is just
as interesting. IL not quite so in
spring. to note that some men fx
their ideals much lower but more
within the bounds OF human weak
ness.
There is no Ideal" woman. Every
man has his own ideal and there
are just as many ideals As there are
men. The man of noble thoughts
admire noble women; the man OF
base thoughts admire women who
are the closest embodiment Of those
thoughts, and then again some mer
admire all women
But / sometimes wonder II any.
