stricted himself to a relatively small volume Of
business. But even now the merchant is in danger
from another direction if the customer cancels his
order. Suppose the merchant has bought $4,000

OF the major factors in the foreign exchange
market is the tremendous amount Of speculation in
foreign exchanges, particularly in the older coun-
tries of Europe. From this source developed much
of the purchasing power which has put sterling
considerably above the s. mark and which has kept
it at that figure since.
The future of the foreign exchange market is
entwincd with the future of business and industry
berc and abroad, foreign exchange experts believe.
with the ability of all countries to pick up the
thread of business where it disarranged by the
crash Of liquidation and depression and restore it
in substantial fashion. Foreign countries must
com.at and solve the problems of inflated curren-

eign domestic commerce Hope, that better
progress toward this goal may be made now than
made in the many months that have passed

New Car Fare Rates.

10 the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Under the old car rate Of cent;
or five tokens for 35 cents, few
school children could afford TO bug
tokens: many were forced to nav
the single Scent fare because Of
limited finances. and a larger num-
Der were compelled to walk to and
from school, irrespective OF health,
weather and distance, because the
drain on their humble means would
not permit them to ride.
Under the new car rate of s cents
or SIX tokens for 40 cents. effective
March !. more school children than
heretofore will be forced TO nav
the single Scent fare. or 20 per
cent ISore for six rides, because
their scant resources will not with
stand the strain of 90 cents TO pur-
chase tokens. 1t is, therefore, ap-
parent, that under the new rate.
the car companies will enjoy in
creased revenue. while school chill
dren are more heavily burdened in
their struggle for an education.
Can't you do something to heip
secure favorable report and the
early enactment Of the bill now be-
fore the House and Senate District
Committee which provides one-half
car fare for school children in the
District OF Columbia?

Cartoons Hit Selfish.

10 the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Your Darling" cartoons seem
quite Ineligible and TO the point
in their makeup. quite timely in
their appearance and quite in har-
mony with American thought.
The United States is suffering
with a bad case of indigestion al
present. Some OF the causes being
finance. foreign element. booze, and
get-rich-Quick gentlemen.
Your cartoons naturally do not
please persons holding opposite
political or economic views or hav-
ing opposing material desires.
Some persons may be reminded or
converted to duty by the cartoon
suggestions, but others, who will
never accept them cheerfuIly, be-
ings frequently animated or con-
trolled by desire for wealth. fame
or power. or by such personal feel
ings and desires as mark the diff
ference between politician and
statesman, can but find offense in
them.
However, the man who wants his
way right or wrong. whether fad
dist or CRATER. will have to learn
that the bulk of citizenry want af-
fairs run for the benefit of the ma
tion and humanity, and for those
who want the best way. whether
his or not. not for the pleasure of
an individual.

WANTS DEFINITION
OF INTOXICATING

Federal revenue of almost $780,
900, 900. the disappearance of most
of the unfortunate effects of the
present prohibition law, and iu-
creased satisfaction among Amer
lean citiZenry-all would result
, from a specific modification Of the
Volstead act.
DR.. Max Henius. former president
of the Chicago Public Library, ano
a nationally recognized brewing ex-
pert, who recently left on a visit to
European countries. left this sug-
gestion behind on the eve of his de
parture.
"In my opinion" DR.. -Henius said.
"the only feasible way to proceed
is as follows:
Impress on Congress, through
the Individual members, the abso-
lutte necessity of getting an exact
definition of what constitutes an in
toxicating beverage. For the Eight
eenth amendment has prohibited the
manufacture, sale and import of in
toxicating beverages, without de-
fining specifically what they are"
The one-half of one per cent alco-
hol limit in beverages DIR. Henius
declared arbitrary, for the purpose
VI a udSlS lOl NdAdllOH
without regard for the beverages
declared, simply means that they
come within the revenue law and
are hence not taxable.
The definition" the expert said,
could be determined by a commit
tee. to consist of ten members of the
American Medical Society and ten
members of the American Chemical
Society, the twenty to elect their
own presiding officer.
The committee. after having in
vestigated the question thoroughly,
SHOULD submit report to Congress.
Congress might then amend the
Volstead act and substitute the
committees definition instead of the
arbitrary one now In the statute" +"
DIR. Henius, basinG his opinion
upon reports of scientific committees
of other lands. believes that the
twenty members would recommend
that all beverages containing less
than 3 per cent of alcohol by vol
ume, or "a per cent by weight,
should be classed as Misunderstanding.
"A cereal beverage of this type"
he continued. could be sold to the
extent of 100000. 900 barrels in the
OHilcu Sldtcs, anu a revenue TAX OF

dous amount of money into the

ted" has not made a thorough study
of the prohibition question. DR..
Henius declared.
'Tt is utterly impossible by
amendment of the act to permit the
sale and manufacture Of beer and
wine," he explained. "as it is a rec
ognized fact that wine is intoxicat-
ing, and that beer over 3 per cent
may be. In order to get wine and
beer to their former status, II would
be necessary to repeal the Eight
eenth amendment. This is almost
an impossibility. since 100000 out
of 110.o00,000 people can keep the
statute in operation. In my opinion
1t will be generations before such
repeal can take place.

District Loans Bill.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
As the citizens of the District of
Columbia, especially those who re-
quire at various times small loans
and have no banking connections,
have a vital interest in the pending
legislation concerning pawnbrokers,
it is particularly important that
Congress should understand fully
the merits of the two bills now
pending in that body, and having
for their object the creation of con-
ditions which will make pawnbrok-
ing business possible in this city.
One bill has the support of the
District Commissioners. and Of a
number of representative civic or
ganizations. and contemplates an
amendment to existing law. increas-
ing the rate on small loans to . per
cent per month. which experts be-
lieve will be sufficiently remuncra-
tive to permit pawnbrokers again
to do business in the District. This
law. which II is proposed to amend,
was enacted by Congress in 1913,
and was the legislation which made
ii possible to rid the District of the
so-called loan sharks 1t has been
tested in the local courts and in the
Supreme Court of the United States,
and various decisions have interpret
ed every phrase. of this legislation,
so that no doubt exists at the pres
ent time concerning its validity and
meaning.
The other bill, now pending. faith
cred by Representative Focht, pur-
ports to concern itself exclusively
with pawnbrokers Mr.. Focht. ac-
cording to the Evening Star of the
2Th instant. characterizes the law
of. 1913 as an experiment in legis-
lation," but this characterization
certainly is not supported by facts
relating to the successful enforce
ment of this statute, and the court
decisions hereinbefore mentioned.
On the contrary, Il is difficult to un-
derstand why a law which has been
in successful operation since 1913,
which can be made to accomplish
the desired end of restoring the
pawnbroking, business by a simple
interest, should be discarded in IA
vor of new legislation, which may
be subjected to attack by those in
terested in lending money. and
which better deserves to be called
an experiment, than the existing
statute.
Another point in favor of the act
OF 1913 is that 1t permits loans on
indorsed notes, while Mr.. Focht's
bill provides only for the pawnbrok-
ing business. .........
As one whose Official duty in the
past required him to enforce the
act Of 1919, and who is familiar
with the decisions constituting said
act, and therefore confident of its
effectiveness, IL amended as pro-
posed by the COMMISSIONER bill.
the writer would regard the enact
ment of the Focht bill as unneces-
sary. unwise, and unfortunate IN
view of the time and effort expended
by the District authorities In OBJ

Of seven saloons. He retired be-

Over the lunches hung signs

Chick never took a drink himself.
At another saloon Chick. had a bar
tender known as Splinter Mack. the
first monicker due to his wooden
leg.

In one midnight and asked IL the
loungers would join her in prayer.
All consented save one leering
dockwalloper. Splinter united his
apron and limped out to him.

Splinter, ''or I'll break your damn
neck" And the derelict knelt in
the sawdust and mumbled his lips.
As the lassie left, Splinter called
out: Come every night. mum, I'll
make this bloke a prayin' fool be-
fore I'm done with him." And ever
afterwards the derelict was known
in the Bowery haunts as Prayln'
