AN EASY WAY OUT

1t occurs to the plain layman who
knows nothing about international
finance that the whole problem of
foreign debt could be solved by
granting moratorium for twenty
five years, during which time neither
principal nor interest need be paid.
This would relieve England, France
and Italy, and would obviate repara-
tions pressure upon Germany which
she asserts will overwhelm her. The
United States does not need the
money due from foreign nations, but
does need the trade that will not
come save with the restoration of
European normally. And each ma
tion at interest could "save its face,
as the Chinese say. We would not
need to cancel nor would they need
to repudiate the debts due us from
foreign countries. Posterity will have
profited, we trust. by the fruits of
the great war fought at enormous
cost to life and treasure by this gen

SUPPLY OF POTASH ASSURED
Enough In Green Sand Of New Jersey
to Satisfy American Farmers for
Ten Centuries.

Right at our door and until few
months ag0 quite unsuspected, lies
enough potash to supply the needs Of
every American farmer for thousand
years. 1t Is the famous green sand
Of New Jersey-mlllions upon millions
of tons of which are found in that
state alone and running all the way
down as far as Virginia.
The Scientific American relates that
half a century ago local farmers used
1t as a fertilizer, but for some reason
abandoned it. Now Its value has been
recognized again and big factory Is
being built at New Brunswick, N. j.,
for turning the green sand into pure
potash.
At recent meeting Of the Ameri-
can Chemical society r. Norris Shreve
read a paper In which he described the
process. This involves treating the
green sand with milk of lime at about
470 degrees f. for one hour. Caustic
potash Is the initial result, but this Is
easily changed into other potash COM
pounds. Potassium nitrate is shown to
be the best form in which to produce
the green sand potash for the fertilizer
industry, for In 1t are united two of
the most essential fertllizing elements

FLASHLIGHTS START BEE WAR
Naturalist in Charge Of Honeymakers
Consequently Has Her Opinion
Concerning Photographers.

How conner" inquired an inquirer,
lifting polite eyebrows.
Flashlights" said Miss Berg, en-
phatically. And 1t was flashlights that
started a carnival of self-arranged
slaughter and sent two or three
hundred children and their mothers
and teachers milling around a great
glass cage in loop department store.
Inside the Showcase was a glass bee
hive and a swarm of sure-enough bees.
The swarm belongs to the Society
for Visual Education and is part of a
nature exhibit installed in the store. 1t
was brought from the Evanston studio
Of the society by Miss Berg.
The buZZers were lured from their
winter coma by warmth and food and
set to work making honey In the glass
cage for the instruction Of public
school pupils. Photographers taking
pictures of the exhibit aroused the
swarm and hundreds began fighting.
The colony broke up into pairs which
lashed and clawed and stung until
scores lay dead on the floor.
While the excited insects were
emerging from the hive Miss Berk
opened a little door in the outer cage
and sought to close the entrance. In
an instant her hand and wrist were
covered with angry bees which drove
their daggers into her flesh.
Children and mothers and teachers
danced about squeaking warnings. Miss
Berg finally abandoned her effort and
the bees fought until exhausted.-Ch

MORE SHAME TO THEM!

Few bootleg patrons can give the
excuse Of an uncomfortable appetite,
which was once the pitiable plea of
the drunkard who sought to drown
his remorse at public bars. The con-
firmed inebriate is passing, but the
era is here when men and women
drink in pursuit of fancied, hectic
pleasure--or merely because they
consider it Smart" to evade and
defy the nations laws in order to
exalt what they are pleased to regard
as personal liberty" They have no
craving for liquor and will not ac-
knowledge any crying need for it.
They do not deserve pity, but scorn.
They complicate the nations prob
lem in dealing with the liquor evil.
They are really responsible for the
crimes of violence incident to the
bootlegging traffic, since if there were
no customers there would be no
bootleggers. Many Of them are in
other respects sober minded and re-
spectacle citizens. When will they
awaken to a sense of their own
moral turpitude? When will they
begin to realize that prohibition is
not farce but serious and sue
cessful effort to stamp out what had
become an intolerable evil-the open
saloon--the most important step in
all history in the direction of pro-
noting "the greatest good of the
greatest number?"

Rare Occasion.

Very few people could say off-hand
the occasion when king of England
gave away" his daughter In marriage,
writes an English correspondent. AS
a fact, authorities are quite hazy about
1t. But this Is certain, that the last
reignlng king of England to have a
daughter married goes beyond recollec-
tlon; for 1t was neither Edward VII.
Of course, nor George w., both being,
in turn, prince Of Wales when their
respective daughters were married.
The last instance, then, was that Of
George Ill, who came to the throne
1T60 and died 1920. His eldest daugh-
ter was married In 1897, the third In
1918, the fourth In 1915. The case,
however, Of any only daughter goes
back to Henry l., In the Eleventh CEN
tury. His only daughter Matilda mar
