Try the Government Again.

The American wage earners have
six hundred and twenty-five millions
OF dollars coming to them on Janu-
ary l from the savings stamps they
began to buy when the country went
to war. 1t is money they have saved
and it is money that can earn them
in the bulk a huge annual interest.
They will do well to think over what
they are going to do with their saw
ings stamps cash when 1t comes in.
They need to be careful into what
they put it if they decide to rein
vest it.
Their Government has been a good
thing for them to invest in with the
savings stamps. Their Government
will be good thing for them to in
vest in with the proceeds of their
redeemed savings stamps.
Take your S25 in war savings
stamps to a post Office or bank and
you can get for them s25 United
States Treasury saving certificate and
$3.50 in cash
You can exchange S100 in war
savings stamps for $100 Treasury
savings certificate and SIS in cash.
You can exchange $1,000 in war
savings stamps for a $1,000 Treasury
savings certificate, two 500 Treas
ury savings certificates, and SIC in
cash.
Don't squander your war stamp
savings. Don't let anybody induce
you to put them into something that
is no good. Try another investment
in the United States Government.

Conscience at Work.

Conscience, after all, does attain
full stature outside New England,
and nobody knows 1t better than the
Post Office Department. Recently
there was received at Washington a
letter containing five dollar bill
and these words, "One days wages
rot earned" signed Post Office Clerk,
Chicago" In the same mail came a
letter from California bearing twelve
two cent stamps as payment with
interest for uncanceled stamps which
had been used with knowledge that
they had already done duty.
Such letters are not uncommon in
UNCLE SANS mail. They arrive with
sufficient frequency to be known as
conscience letters. Neither are they
unknown to public service corpora
tions. Sometimes they stray into or
dinary business mail.
But imagine the consequences II
the impulse behind such letters were
famed to supernormal activity by
the exhortations of a National Con-
science Week. We might face such
upheavals OF custom as these:
The assistant sales manager writes
to the sales manager and confesses:
"I have been scheming to get your
job. and won't be happy until
do"
An Office seeker begins his speech:
1T is only fair to tell you that l did

giant apartment house and the sky
scraping hotel were not thought OF.
They laid out streets to accommodate
a moderate sized population that was
not daily augmented by a million
workers and hundreds of thousands
Of visitors. Their ideas of traffic
could not include the magic rise OF
the motor car, the centering In Man

destined to be the magnet Of ma
tion Of hundred millions.
The fathers cid for New York the
best they knew. We must take 1t as
we find it and adjust it according to
our means to the conditions for
which che living rather than the
dead are responsible. Readjust-
ments such as President MILLER pro-
poses are costly. But everything, in
this metropolis Of luxury and speed
is expensive. A city that is great
must pay the price. Our streets no
longer serve US, thanks partly to the
passion for magnificence and ease, so
we must straighten, widen, extend
even double deck them. New York
can't stop now

An international Square Deal
The Canadian United States Postal
Conference a Model.
From the Toronto Globe.

From the Toronto Globe.
The postal conference between Canada
and the United States at Ottawa was a
working model for public men. 1t trans
acted international business In busi-
nesslike way. with such dispatch that its
work was finished ahead of schedule.
Another happy feature was the neigh
borly spirit Of the negotiators. 1t was
n give and take process; there was no
attempt on either side to get something
for nothing.
For example. many more parcels en-
ter Canada from the United States than
go in the opposite direction, and as the
United States has been getting the
greater part of the revenue from this
source the Washington delegates agreed
that the financial inequality should be
redressed in some degree. This VIII be
balanced by Canadian concessions In
the matter OF special delivery letters,
where the balance of advantage has
been on Canada's side. These are in
stances of the reciprocity which was the
essence of the convention arrived at.
II will be remarked that the confer
ence was intent on facilitating inter-
course between the two countries. Its
purpose was the removal OF obstruc-
tions to free and easy communication.
Facilities will be provided for the more
rapid interchange of letters, parcels and
other mail matter at boundary points
The assumption is that II is to the mu-
tual advantage Of the people on both
sides to lower the barriers between
them.
The conference succeeded and did Its
work in perfect amity because 1t was
seeking and serving the public interest.
II It had been tadff conference. for
example, there would have been n strong
temptation to consider private, special
and particular interests instead OF ma
tional and International interests
The 20 ~ delegates regarded them
selves as public servants and their moth
DDS, their attitude and the results OF
their iabors constitute a pattern for the
politicians.

The Invisible Ships.

I eco along the ocean lanes
The giant liners pass
In all the pride OF snowy paint
And flashing glass and brass,
And all the seas ahead OF them
And all the deep behind
Are filled from port TO port with ships
With manfests unsigned.
Tho viking boat with serpent PROV
Adventuring far from home.
The stately Spanish galleon
High popped above the foam,
The frigate with its press of sail,
The clipper full OF tee.
The whaler and the brig that few
The flag Of piracy.
Like shadows from the drifting clouds
They movo across the wave,
These daring navies of the past
In towering canvas brave,
The phantom conveys Of the ships
That rule the seas to-day.
For 10 their port and starboard light
First blazed the stormy way.

Coquettes With Brains.
Also Some Scandals That Were
Not ScandalOus.

To THE New YORK HERALD: That no
woman ever yet won or gave happiness
merely by being pretty to look at would
seem to be at once obvious and unrec-
ognized, at least by the supposedly
stronger sex. But we have 1t now from
Cecile Sorel, the French actress, In her
farewell lecture on the "Art of CO.
quetry"
She is quoted as saying that "it takes
a woman Of brains and will power as
we'll as beauty and grace to win ad-
miration"; the pronouncement is sub
ject to the slight change already stated
in my opening sentence: that 1t takes
this array Of gifts to win happiness, not
admiration. Not to draw too strongly
upon the obvious. 1t may be well to
remark that the winning of admiration.
for time at least. is compatible with
brainlessness, not to say measure OF
stupidity.
The lesson OF history upon the sub
ject would seem to be much neglected.
The women who have made their marks
upon its page, fair or foul, have in
every case been women Of brains. Cleo
patra. it Is said, could speak every
tongue current in Egypt in her day.
some. like Ethiopic, differing as much
rom her mother Greek as English does
rom Chinese; yet the portion Of her his
tory which seems to have made most
impression upon succeeding generations
relates chiefly or entirely to her beauty.
Diane de Poitiers. Nine. de Maintenon
and Pompadour, all Of them were women
Of brains. and as to two Of them at least
history has omitted much OF the record
of their physical appearance. Indeed.
Diane de Poitiers was old enough to be
the mother of Henry II. In more modern
times too the case Of Christina of Spain
and Mufioz is to some extent relevant.
Another point would seem to be as
completely omitted in all discussions Of
this question. that Is, that some of these
so-called scandals" were not so at all.
Cleopatra and Antony were husband and
wife according to the law OF the land ;
so too were Louis XIV. and Maintenon,
Christina and Mufioz. 1t all goes to
show, besides the fact of brains, that
the searcher for truth can usually find
some little bright spot on the supposedly
darkest pages of history IL he will look
for 1t. ID. G.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1s, 1922.
A 1888 Per Cent. Dividend.

A wooden mill company in Tx
bridge, Massachusetts,, has declared
a stock dividend OF 1888 per cent.
But if that fact badly stated takes
anybody's breath away, let him catch
it again while listening to few of
the details.
The capital stock of the company
before the increase was only $4,000.
1t is now S50O,000. The stockholders
had long been plowing in earnings
on top Of that diminutive capitaliza-
tion of $4,000 instead of paying
them all out as dividends and spend
ing them. A little at time the
earnings went into more machinery,
more tools and more wage paying
equipment until the company was able
to do a bigger business than ever
had been possible with its original
microscopic capital.l
Then came bigger earnings from
the increased machinery and from
the enlarged business, so there was
more OF those earnings to plow in.
There were enough now to add,
perhaps, a small wing to the old
building, with more equipment, and
still more business became possible.
Finally there were earnings enough
to put up a whole new mill, with a
still greater producing capacity.
And so it went until there was a
fair sized business business that
represented some $500,000 of capital
value in place of the $4,000 of years
before. And it had been put in by
the stockholders with their plowed
ir earnings just as much as If the
earnings had been paid out to the
stockholders and then they had sub
scribed the same amount as new
capital to expand the business.
But. at that, the owners OF the
wooden mill-the tockholders-had
not a dollar more of value in 1T the
hour after the 1888 per cent. stock
dividend was declared to themselves
than they had the hour before IL was
declared. Under the $4,000 capitali-
cation of the hour before they had
the mill, the machinery, the other
equipment, the good will and the
business they we're doing. Under the
s5OO,OO0 capitalization they now have
the same mill, the same machinery,
the same equipment. the same good
will and the same business as they
had before.
They have more certificates OF
stock but no more woolen mill. 1t
is the same as when woman slices
an apple pie for the family's dinner.
There are more pieces of the one pie.
But no more pie.
The New York herald., 1922-12-16
Sound Tariff Safeguards.

Chairman MARVIN of the United
States Tariff Board tells the National
Council of Importers and Traders
that other facts than varying produc-
tion costs should determine the tariff
readjustments the President may now
put into effect by executive order.
That is right enough In certain
circumstances.
The primary object of the protec-
tive tariff is TO build up American
industries that may become capable
of sustaining themselves without a
grossly burdensome tax on American
consumers. The secondary object is
TO maintain industries that the coun-
try ought not to be without whatever
the cost. The country never should
be at the mercy of foreign producers
in respect OF some essential products.
such as chemicals. weapons of self
defense and the like.
But this ought not 10 mean Con-
gress willingness TO perpetuate ex-
cessively high production costs and
therefore excessively high prices to
consumers. IL the country we're to go
on with tariffs made on that basis
there would be no reason why Amer
ican producers In this, that and the
other industry should not let their
production costs climb higher and
higher instead Of trying to get them
fower and lower. There would be no
limit TO the prices that could be i'm
posed on the American consumer.
they would hit the sky.
This was the economic error un-
der which Congress labored in max
ing its new tariff-that no matter
how high an American cost had
climbed during war imitation and no
