watching several or tnelr DroAheIs and sisters slowly dying. If they had sense, they would help them in- stead of hammering them on the head.
 This country, like Europe, is in bad situation. Two strikes, either of which might upset the nation and lead to disaster, are drifting along apparently with no plan, anywhere.
 Railroad owners and coal mins that the government is with them" But the government doesn't show 1t by deeds In the war the head of the nation takes charge, says "The nation is threatened and something has got to be done"
 When you have strikes that would stop railroads, close mines, bring on hard times. perhaps lawlessness and revolution. here and there. that means war in industry
 Somebody should take charge of that It Is easy enough to drift Into trouble but you rarely drift out of it.
 Late yesterday 1t was announced unofficially that President Harding would submit definite plans of arbi- traitor to settle the coal strike. lie would ask the men to accept arbi- tration, and meanwhile go back to work at the old wages.
 That, at least. Is something def mite. And 1t is reasonable. Where arbitration is refused, there Is no possibility of any settlement except by violence, in acts. or by injury 10 industry and the country.
 Now York is the richest state in money; you know that. The total income of it's citizenA. according to the national bureau of economic re- search last year, was more than ss.ooo. 100000.
 Nevada, according to the figures. has the smallest income. only s6s,- Ooo. 900. But many a good Nevada million figures in New York's in- come.
 In New York, opposite the pig park. live the gentlemen whose brains and fingers reach out into all states and take profits.
 The total income of the nation is s62,7oo, 900, 900. A very rich nation, but the average for all its inha5i- tants is only s627. That Is not so much.
 Mir. Jesse o. Wood of the Ku KluS organization, has gone abroad hop ing to arrange g worldwide alliance of Caucasian Protestants.'
 Mir. Wood. 1t Is to be hoped, Will have a plasant trip, but he won't form any world d-wide organization of Caucasian Protestants. He might as well start rope factory at the edge of the sea, expecting to use the sand for raw material. What is Cau- casian Protestant! Protestant.
 Lord Curzon, Kedleston, who mar ried Mary Letter of Chicago, when he was George Curzon. has been cured of insomnia by the Coue system. MT. Coue is a Frenehman who has persuaded the English and others they can make themselves more successful by saying T am getting better and better every day" This form of self -hypnotism on waking and retir- ing seems to work well with certain individuals. The trouble with Europe Is that Germany and some other na- tions are compelled to say T am get ting worse and worse every day"
 In Switzerland yesterday they sold German marks for one centime each. 1t takes five centimes to make one cent in our money. The mark used to be 24 cents. That tells the story of German money-and the Russian money is infinitely worse, also the Austrian
 And that interests the United States. For people with broken down money must buy from each other, they cannot buy from us. Our money i. too high and that makes our goods too high. ------.--.--
 A flying boat line is established between Cleveland and Detroit. good thing for both cities. proof of energy in both. The flying boat before long will go as far as the lakes and the rivers go, connecting all the Great Lakes cities by air. And eventually all the cities of all the world will be connected by air.
