him and sat on the platform. He had been in
General Lejeunes division in France.
Now this man Lejeune Is the knottiest appear

who fall heir to the privilege of being American
born and of French ancestry.
So this weather. beaten fighting man sat there
on the platform and young MacNider spilled a
lot Of stuff about your grocerboy and the ribbon

there on the farm and how, mixed up in the gas

The Scotchman, MacNider, could talk about
such things and not choke up but the French.

sat there, ruggedfaced. with his eyes full Of
tears

IT'S a band, a parade" shouted the Congress

Back came the excited query:

President Harding writes all his state
nents and speeches with a lead pencil either at
his desk with a tablet on his knee. His expert
ence as editor has given him assurance in
these matters and he accepts less assistance in
them than most public men. Newspaper men
around Washington read his copy and argue
about what salary the journalistic ability of the
President would have called forth had he been
working their assignments

Four Pints of
Petroleum
Copyright. les2 by Star cc,nnsnv

We Americans are the big.
gest Oil users In the world,
but we are not so voracious
for oil az was indicated in a
recent article in this maya
zine, which credited US with
using over fifty gallons a
day for every man, woman.
and child in the country.
That error, growing out Of
slippery decimal points, made
US look more conspicuous for
our oil-using than for our
use Of water In bathing.
As a matter OF fact, by re-
cent averages, the demand
for oil in the United States
for domestic and export pur-
poses is equivalent to about
five-tenths of q gallon a day
for every man, woman, and
child in the country, or
about two quarts each. The
city of New York. with
100000 and more inhab-
itants. uses about 5000, 900
quarts of milk a day, or
about one pint per capita.
II this average were taken
for the United States, it would
appear that Americans who
demand four pints of petro-
leum per day, use only one
fourth of that amount of
milk every day.
Power plants use petro-
leum to generate the cleo.
tricity for stitching our
clothing. making our shoes,
lighting our homes, and run.
ming our street cars. Into
our automobiles we pour
rivers of gasoline. Somehow
or other we must find over
five barrels a year per capita
for the United States de.
mand. In the same year
that the United States, at it's
drinking-est. used 1000, 000,-
900 gallons Of beer and liquor.
Americans used over 2,000,.
900, 900 gallons of petroleum
and its products.-Hearst's

Neglecting
a NeighbOr
.HE President of Mexico re-
marked to an American CORE.


marked to an American CORE.
spondent the other day that
he hoped that Mr.. Hughes would
soon be able to take up friendly ne
gotiations with the Mexican gov
eminent, now that the more impor-
tant matters which have engaged
his attention were drawing to a con-
clusion.
Alvaro Obregon is true states
man. Like all very able men, he
has patience, sagacity and strong
sense Of humor. In many ways he
resembles mentally our great. Lin
coin. .u...
So it is likely that there was Al
little pleasantly in President Oh,
regions remark about more impor-
tant matters than Mexico. For, rs
a matter of fact, good relations,
good understanding, friendship and
mutual development of interests and
trade between Mexico and our coun-
try are worth thousand times all
the matters which have engaged
the attention of Mr.. Hughes for the
past three or four months.
In 1920 we bought 1927, 900, 900
worth of goods from China and sold
China $4,000, 900 worth.
In the same year we bought $685.
100000 worth of goods from Mexico
and Mexico bought from us $143,-
100000 worth.
The Open Door and encourage
ment of trade and recognition, and
loans, and credits were all used to
stimulate our trade with China,
while nonrecognition, refusal of
loans and credits, and all the bad
offices of the International Bank
ers and of British diplomacy were
used to hinder and discourage our
trade with Mexico.
Yet our trade with Mexico
amounted to $311, 600, 900 as against
$346, 100000 with China, and the
balance between exports and i'm
ports was $1O6,OOO, 900 against us in.
the case of China and but $25, OOO,-
600 in the case of Mexico.
Besides, our trade with China was
carried largely by foreign ships,
while our trade with Mexico largely
went over American railroads and
Mexican roads in which Americans
are security holders.
Thus, in every way and in spite
of every possible hindrance to Mex.
lean trade, Mexico was more impor-
tant and more profitable to us than
China in 1920.
Now, then, suppose the Admins
tration used the good sense to forget
and keep out of European and
Asiatic politics and alliances, and
spent the same time and labor in
developing good will and trade with
Mexico and with Central America
through Mexico-don't you think
we would be better off and more
secure than if We had twenty al
liances with Japan and England
and ten times all the trade with
China that could escape British and
Japanese grab-netsi
