CHARITY WITHOUT EXPENSE

is not asking for charity now. She
has reached a place where gifts of
bread and clothing are not enough.
The country is slipping into a mo-
rass of starvation and poverty and
the United States is watched as the
nation that has power to save Aus
tria from complete downfall.
United States Holds Key to Situation
The United States Is asked to ex
tend the time of payment on the Aus
trian loan, and even more urgently
she Is asked to release her hold on
Austrian assets. SO that the country
may negotiate further aloans.
Miss Helen Todd. representing the
American Friends service committee,
the American relief committee for
sufferers in Austria, and the Wom-
ems International league, explains
that there is no reason why we
should not do this, and a number of
reasons why we should. Whether we
agree to extend the time limit on our
loan or not. Austria cannot pay as
matters stand. And if Austria can
not pay the $24,OO0,000 which she
borrowed in foodstuffs from the
United States Grain corporation we
could lose nothing by an extension of
the time. With this help the country
may be able to get on its feet and
in that event 1t expects to repay its
creditors.
But even II the United States does
so. the country cannot hope to pay
unless it can borrow more money TO
tide it over the present hopeless sit
uation.
A year ago the allies saw that Aus
tria was sinking further into diff
culties instead OF getting on firm
ground. Consequently at the request
Of the supreme council, England,
France. Italy and Japan agreed to re-
lease the Austrian assets, given as
security on loans, and thus allow
Austria TO borrow again and try out
rehabilitation plans which had the
approval Of expert European finan-
ciers.
But it was stipulated by Italy that
the United States and the smaller
creditor nations must join in the
agreement before Austria could be
released from her obligations.
Edward A. Filene Of Boston says:
"Of these remaining creditor nations
the United States was the chief cred
itor and the most influential. Il
was generally understood that If we
acted the other and smaller nations
would also act; but since we failed to
take action, other and minor cred
itors waited for us and the matter
was delayed from month to month
while Austria drifted nearer and
nearer to the financial collapse which
finally has come.
This delay creates a most danger
Gus situation for Austria. Usually

Efficiency Tests

Words which have always been used moderately
that is to say. not more frequently than ordinary
drafts upon them for the proper expression OF our
IDEAS suddenly come into immoderate use, that is
to say, we harp upon them.
Now there is the word efficiency an old word
in ordinary use ever since it was derived from the
Latin ofacio" About twenty years ago,
used deficiency" in such striking way that we
all began to use 1t with perhaps result that there
was Tightening up and greater production and
greater conservation of time and more intense and

MARCH HAREs

This is the month explains the lad)
When hares and rabbits all go mad.
/ don't know why-but everywhere
read about the Mad March Hare
Perhaps he's mad because, some days
The good oil sun begins to blaze,
And grass looks green and robins sing.
And everything acts just like spring
For maybe half day-and then
1t SHOWS, and winters here again.
1t makes me mad enough to swear,
SO you could hardly blame a hare
Or any creature, for that matter
For getting madder than a Halter,
But don't know (went on the lad)
Just why Halter gets so mad
But, anyhow, when March is done,
And Easter comes and brings the sun,
The Halter quits his grouch-and that's
Because folks all buy Easter hats
And then the Hare gets over his
And shakes his cold and rheumatic,
Pricks up his ears kicks out his legs,
And lays a bunch OF Easter eggs!

club at the dinner given March is in
her honor that in her own kitchen
she performed all the food expert
ments that were given to the public,
when, through him, we, the common
people, were restricted by our Dear
Old Uncle Sam"
And two great fundamental prin-
ciples were established by this SIM
pie, grand and pure American, who
was able through the power of the
government for which he stood, TO
in reality be the savior of the world;
first, by the conservation of the food
stored in our own broad land, and
giving the people of the whole
world a square deal" such as up to
that moment it had never known.
Second, by humanizing the people
Of America and forcing them, by
Uncle Sans powerful hand through
the national law, to "think OF others
and their pangs Of hunger" at least
three times a day.
We, as a people, were TO some ex-
tent, at least, filled with awe by the
far reaching force and power OF the
Hooverized world"
1t has been truthfully said that the
nearest way to a mans heart is
even a child years old in America
today but has more respect for his
government, and better health, pos
sibly, for the experience Herbert
Hoover was the agent in putting over
during the awful world war. Long
may he live, and his kind increase,
for IL there is one need that ranks
above all others In this world It is
for iust such demonstrations Of the
golden rule. But aside from the hu-
nnanizing effects OF that wonderful
Hoover campaign" 1t was the most
far reaching educational movement
the world has ever experienced. Peo-
pie everywhere grew to know the fun
value of food. TIE world learned more
in one short year what balanced
ration" was than in all the many
years that had passed since the foun-
dation Of the world.
Again let us say:
Long live Hoover, may his tribe in
crease,
For 1t is. indeed. with a deep sense
of peace,
That we of America. through the
power Of such men,
Can wrap our own bonnie nag
around the world,
BY the stroke Of Uncle Sans pen.
II more American homes
Had a queen like his to handle the
bones"
And, like Lady Hoover, weed the good
from the bad,
Our poor old world would not be 80
decoIate and sad.

is holding up the procession led by
the other powers. If countries such
as Belgium and France, themselves
cruelty ravished by war, can favor
this suspension of the Austrian debt,
surely we can do so also--especially
as Austria is utterly incapable of
paying this debt or arrears of in
terest at present"
As Mr.. Filene says, the United
| States delayed action and it looked
as if the matter would never get a
hearing in congress. There was no
one in this country working for 1t.
At last. however the Friends Relief
society and the Austrian relief COM
mittee felt that congress must be
aroused to the urgent need, If not OF
| all Austria, certainly to the need Of
/ the 100000 starving children.
The 400,o0 children's Bill
| As a result Miss Todd came to
Washington a few days ago on the
difficult mission of getting congress
| to give a little time to ''the 100000
children's bill" This bill, in the form
of Joint resolution, offered by Sem
ator Lodge, awaits a hearing by the
| finance committee of the senate.
Miss Todd tells how Senators Nc
| Curnber, Smoot and other members
of the committee, who were strug-
Cling with tariff and taxation and
too busy TO see anyone this week
surrendered and listened to her while
she explained that the lives of 100000
| children were at stake.
She told them that women were in
terested in the bill because of the
children.
Are they?" asked one senator a
/ Ill ffT
message from women on this propo-
sition"
"They are Interested" said Miss
Todd, ''and / will bring to see you
some women who want this bill
passed"
At a meeting organized on two
days notice she asked women who
were interested in the bill and who
would go to call on the senators of
the committee to rise. Out of well
| filled hotel ball room a handful OF
women rose stragglingly.
"I was disappointed" says Miss
Todd II thought how such an ap-
peal in my state out West would
surely have brought every woman
eagerly TO her feet, and went home
feeling that the East is certainly
different from the West.
But am glad 10 say was wrong.
The next morning went TO the SEN
ate office building. expecting to be
the entire delegation perhaps. In
stead l saw women coming in every
direction. They filled the committee
room and the small office and over
flowed into the hall. 1t was one OF
the biggest delegations that has gone
to congress since women were given
the vote. Everywhere we went the
senators were impressed, and we
came away with promises of sup
port.
so" Miss Todd concludes. Il
learned that women in the East are
exactly like those in the West They
Just go about things differently"
The chances of the finance COM
mittee holding a hearing very soon
and reporting the resolution favor
ably to congress are considered good.
Miss Todd says: There does not
seem to be any objection to the
United States taking the step. The
senate was simply too busy to get
around to 1t until some women
showed them that the fate OF 100000
children depended on it. The fate Of
400, 900 children Is a vital matter to
any country in the world"

"Oh, you mean the ghost that this
feller Prince is looking for with bells
on his fingers and rings on his toes, "
said Dummer. ''It looks to me like a
fight between DIR. Prince and the
ghost to see which gets the first offer
to go into vaudeville. They both
have good act but think the ghost
is the more original"
'Dr. Prince certainly seemed de-
termined to get this ghost. if it's pos
sible," observed DUNN. Think of
anybody going clear to Nova Scotia
and sleeping in a haunted house,
miles from the nearest habitation,
and with no cop within 20 miles. TO
