EUROPE IS STILL WRANGLING
 OVER ITS WAR DEBTS

Diplomats are not given to plain speaking, and for some reason or other would ex7 pect it least of all from Japanese diplomat but Baron Hayash, Japanese representative at the meeting of allied statesmen in London, wittiy observed, q think the single object of the allies should be to get all the money pos sible"
 He created the first laughter of other wise gloomy session. Perhaps his hearers found his remark all the more amusing be- why the allies have been able to agree on no definite program to settle Europe's postwar problems.
 A great howl would go up at the sugges tion but in the long European nations and the world in general might be better off if they quit scheming to collect the last farthing or franc for war damages, wipe the slate clean, or as clean as they can make it without inviting bankruptcy, and make fresh start.
 It looks now as if the nations of Europe would be burdened for generations by QeDCS, While paying out nuBe SuilS Ol HoISy in preparation for the next war. If they could get war out of their minds and hearts and face the future, determined to solve all their financial problems by hard work, it would not be necessary to call repeated conferences of diplomats which accomplish nothing.
 The recuperative powers of nations is ex- traordinary. If France never collected another gold mark from Germany, and if none of the other war claims were settled, does anyone be- lieve that the nations concerned would cease to exist? Certainly not. As long as a na- ton retains it's virility, not even fire and the sword can destroy it. On the contrary many nation has achieved greatness in hardship and diversity.
 Eventually, Europe may decide, the be t way out to pocket her war losses. As bus- ness venture the World war was not a success, viewed from any angle.

SENATOR HEFLIN'S FIGHT
 AGAINST HARDING

In straightforward letter to Chairman Me Lean of the Senate banking and currency committee, Governor w. F. G. Harding of the federal reserve board replies to the charges made in speech by Senator Heflin that he had speculated in cotton during the so-called de- flation period
 Mir, Harding wrote:
 Since have been a member of the federal serve board I have had the slightest per- sonaI interest in any speculative transaction. In the autumn of 1914, when the "buy bale' movement under way. I bought bale of cotton at 10 cents per pound. but with that ception I have had personal interest direct or indirect in the cotton market. have never been short" of cotton in my life and since have been the board with the exception above stated. have had no transaction. for cash margin. in cotton or any other commodity. have had any direct indirect personal interest in pur chases. sales of commodities, stocks, upon of the exchanges.
 Some of Senator Heflin's friends in Alabama are at loss to unders and his repeated at tacks on MT. Harding, fellow Alabamian a..i a Wilson eppointee. They have been cha acterizel by extraordinary bttern ss, and his statement that MT. Harding used his official
  system to manipulate the cotton market is serious reflection on the character of a rnsn who is above reproach.
 The fact that Senator Heflin has been un- able to prove Mir. Harding's unfitness has not ,terred him from keeping up the fight. He 't seem to realize that he is merely solid tment in favor of MT. Harding. The

HOME BUILDING LEADS IN STRUCTURAL ACTIVITIES

Building operations in the United States reached the unprecedented high level of $1,700, 900, ,000 in the first half of the year, an increase of approximately $700,000,0O0 over 1921. Few skyscrapers have been erect ed, and there has been comparatively small amount of industrial construction, while the railroads and public utilities have been doing essential work only.
 Construction has been apportoned as fol lows: Residential, 40 per cent; industrial, 1-2; public works and utilities IT; business buildings, 16 1-2. The nation has been prin- cipally engaged in building homes.
 The outstanding feature of home building was that people of modest means were the first to build. They did most of the building in 1920 and 1921. This year the wel-to-do are erecting homes.
 Industry has not been stabilized long enough to warrant any considerable plant expansion. That will come in due season. There is as much of that going on in Birmingham as any where in the country

WHENCE ROMANTIC NAMES ]?

From the Kansas City Star.
 Where do the styles in girls names come from? The naming of boys is a conservative process. It goes on from generation to genera tion with the John and Thomas and George and Henry and William. Only oc- casionally does some devoted parent break out with the names of Napoleon's marshals for his sons. There aren't many families like that of the late Senator Burrows of Michigan, with a Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte.
 But the girls. Today the residence streets echo to the call of Jane Ellen and Emmy Lou and Margaret Jo and Mary Rose. We speak subject to correction in such matters, but it is is fairly recent development. Mary Ann there used to be, but not all these others.
 These names are simple and old fashioned and pleasing. They not mentioned in dis approval, only in mild wonder as to how they came. generation back the fashions were much more romantic. We all know Alethas and D'Arlines and Zulas and Zulimes and Nadines. An issue of the Kansas Graduate Magazine re- vealed at commencement the return of former students with these names: Ava, AL verna, Angie, Amida, Lalia, Violetta, Claudia, Evadne, Lanora, Antarctic, Minta, Lenore, Letha Tekia, Delpha, Oreta, Lola, Leora, Zippa.
 These are western names. In the east the names a generation back certainly were not so unusual. There were few Patiences and liar monys and such, handed down from Pilgrim days. But there was no romance about them. An eastern traveller has suggested that perhaps the severe life of the middle border found its reaction in the fanciful names bestowed on it's girls. The mother who lived in a hard routine on the 'arm sought relief in naming her daugh- ter for some character in novel. It may be What have the grandmothers of today in Mis- souri anl Kansas to say?

HOW NAMES ARE GIVEN
 PULLMAN CARS

The mysterious process by which Pullman cars are named has at last been revealed. r'Sequence is the system" says the Pullman other"
 Pullman car is named Ruth. Naturally, the next one is Naomi. Venus suggests Adonis. You couldn't very well name car Dewey without immediately thinking of Ma nila. The moment such classical name as Trojan pops into the mind of the expert who christens Pullmans, he thinks of Helen, Paris, Achilles, Hector, Ajax, Nestor, Ulysses, Pene- dope and other notables whose names when done in gilt letters on the side of Pullman intrigue the fancy of natives in small towns where the limited hestates to take on coal or water.
 A mere dip into Dickens opens up almost limitless possibilities. Dickens created So many characters that he didn't attempt to de- wise names for all, but borrowed them from street signs or anywhere else he saw name that struck his fancy. With Dickens works exhausted, there are Thackeray, Scott and other authors. Indian names are legion, Irish names lend themselves easily to Pullman car purposes, and there are many other sources which can be drawn on as long as there is any need for new names
 In these dry times it is also interesting to note that some Pullmans bear the names of cele- beated wines and even stronger beverages. 1t Wpuld De rather strange to behold noted pro- hibitionist. such as MT. Bryan. for instance,
