A Secret Society

TT would shock, or bore, or disgust
the world in general, l suppose, if all
the school teachers and Office workers
who want to marry should suddenly
tell the truth. The public prefers to
believe that women cherish their eco
romic independence more tenderly
than they ever could cherish hus-
bands and babies. And our pride
helps to keep up the great delusion.
MANY Of us, especially the older
ones, would never admit our loneli-
ness and disappointment, perhaps,
even to ourselves; but the majority, |
believe. have had to tell someone
some equally lonely woman friend
whether or not VIC told it in words,
the story Of frustrated hopes. Of baf-
fed instincts, of imprisoned powers.
1--WE form a kind Of great secret
society. The initiation is, mercifully,
gradual; the dues are endless; the
badge may be anything from q COM

key: the password. seldom uttered, is
always the .same-lonelness."- From

rapid inroads that the war and
various forms Of waste have made
on the resources Of humanity, q
few comparative figures may be
quoted. The total pre-war indebt-
edness of the one hundred coun-
tries and colonies was $4S,0QO,-
100000. At the end Of the war
this amount had risen to $685.
000, 100000. Therefore, world
wide national Indebtedness in
creased $162,000,00 during
the four year war period, or at
the rate of little over $40,00O,-
100000 4 year. Between 1918 and
1921, the date of the latest avail
able figures bearing on this SUBJ
ject, the increase was $175,O00,-
100000, or over $50,000.000,o00
per year.
It is to be borne in mind, of
course, that these figures do not
make an entirely accurate revela-
ton of the worldwide financial
status. Money in itself is not
wealth. It is merely the symbol
Of wealth. Also, . portion OF
world indebtedness would be elm
mated if all the nations could get
together and balance accounts
among themselves.
In searching for the root of adj
vancing commodity costs, world
wide economic instability, and So
cial unrest, one need 60 no further
than these figures. People ip all
countries must work and save and
develop efficiency. And, as Ameri-
ca is today the leader of nations,

pie Of this country to set an ex.

Health Officer Asks Cooperation

In an interview with DR.. G. n.
Towle, health officer for the town,
DIR. Towle made the following state
ment: CAS- there has been some
criticism of the way the scarlet fever
situation is being handled, the health
officer is requesting the citizens of
Winthrop to be reasonable and CO.
operate with him at the present and
all future times. There is no reason
why we should feel particularly I'M
easy over the situation. We have
now three cases of scarlet fever and
one suspect. In view of the way the
first case developed it would be
strange il we did not have other
cases. Conditions like ours prevail
in many Maine towns at this time.
The cases are so mild they are not
suspected by the parents and no
physician is called until peeling or
some like symptom is noticed. By
that time other children have con-
tracted the disease and they mostly
have it in Il mild form. The most
frequently expressed opinion of the
fault finder is that the schools
should be closed. BY doing this many
If the children are on the streets and
in each others homes. The school
work is broken up and the spread
OF the disease is in no way retarded
as tho children ",iucIc Just the same
with less chance for their obscrva-
ton. IL they arc in school the teach
ers are constantly watching out for
the slightest sign of Illness sand the
mothers can do their part just as well
or better. If there were a good many
cases and the schools broken up any
way on account of non attendance,
then it would be as well to close the
schools and make up the work some
other time.
Whatever is being done is for the
best interests of the town in the
opinion of those in charge. There are
places of amusement that many of
the children attend but no one has
yet suggested that they be closed
nor would their closing be justified
until the situation is worse than it
is now But those parents who
choose to do so can keep their
children out OF these gatherings. We
advise them to do so. The full CO.
operation Of the parents in the OBJ
servation and control of the children
is of far more Importance in stamp
ing out an epidemic of mild cases of
scarlet fever than any work of the
health officer.

many towns issued their own money

Saving Money Through Fossils

The invertebrate fossil is the clock
by which the geologist tells the time
when the rock bed containing the
fossil was formed. This clock has
been put to practical uses. New
York was spending thousands OF
dollars in search of anthracite coal
beds until biologists demonstrated
that the beds in this stateScould not
possibly contain coal. Fossils proved
that the rock beds belong to the De-
vonian age. not the Carboniferous,
and the useless expenditure of money
