81, 1921, during which period Cuba
mas been passing through a more ser
ious economic depression than we our
selves, were exceeded by our exports
to only seven other countries, the
United Kingdom, Canada, Germany,
Japan, Franco Mexico and Italy.
These exports to Cuba were not con-
fined to manufactured articles, but
included q great quantity of agricul-
tural produce, as the island has i'm
ported many of its staple foods from
the United States for years. If. then,
we compel Cuba to seek a market Tor
her principal crop in Europe, II is
natural to suppose that she will pro-
badly come to buy more and more of
her necessary imports there rather
than in the United States. We should
accordingly be destroying one of our
largest and most profitable foreign
markets in an effort to protect a
domestic industry only 20 per cent
of which, by and large, depends on
the tariff.
The effect upon our foreign COM
merce, and especially upon our exports

80 per cent. in value of our total ex-
ports, should be the major considera-
tion in making up our new tariff.

therefore, essential that under the

ton against unduly obstruction of
growth of our imports of merchan-

degree our ability to sell abroad our
surplus of domestic products.
Need for Wise Action
Ultimately our imports may pos
sibly exceed our exports, even if the

be deferred through the extension of

Of the beet sugar output of this coun-
try is dependent upon the tariff. As
the cane sugar crops OF our island
possessions and Louisiana are incap-
able of much further expansion, and
as the consumption in the United
States should increase with the growth
Of population, if protection is to be
really effective, our beet sugar out
put must be enlarged until it can
supply about.F5 per cent. Of the sugar
consumed here's. but this increase
would be at the expense of neigh
boring country, more than half of
whose output Of sugar IS produced by
American interests.
More important, however, from
the standpoint of our economic sys-
TEN. than the changes in a domestic
industry implied by such tariff, and
the increased cost to consumers of
an essential food commodity, would
be the effect upon our foreign trade

TheFZapperSdys

Recently l noticed in the news,
said the Flapper, smoothing her brief
skirt across the bend of her neither
extremities, that Board OF Educa-
ton member in Newark, n. j., emitted
a Squawk about visiting the high
school and seeing girls showing their
bare knees. Well, why did ne peek
into the gymnasium? He goes on
90 say that he complained about it
b the high school authorities and
made several other visits there and
saw more bare knees.
'Shockingl I'll tell the world and
associated planets, it was. l mean
his going back there and not shutting
his eyes when he arrived. He might
as well have walked into a dynamo
room and touched high tension wire
not expecting to be shocked as to
20 back to that high school for a
couple of looks. Still, I'd say a man
as easily shocked as that ought to
have sent a woman teacher ahead to
look the knees over and see that they
we're properly covered before he got
within eye-Shot.
Il wonder if men who zip about
2apperS' bare knees think that afore-
said knees are mans sole monopoly
for exhibition purposes. Look at the
conceited smirkS on the faces of those
Scotchmen and Swiss and Tyrolese
nountaineers and others who feature
a pair of bare knees per man when
they pose for their photographs. No
body rises to denounce them. We
81 know that they're scandalously
healthy, either because of or in spite
Of their bare knees. Why shouldn't
girls have bare knees? They were
born with them-bare knees aren't
acquired artifcially.
Would people rather see the Ounce
cap than the knee cap in school? They
pay high prices to crowd into shows
10 see bare-kneed girls, and we poor
inexperienced young things can only
judge by appearances that that's
what they like II men in a body
stayed away from such shows 20 reg
ister diSapproval, and flocked to see
thickly-dressed girls, we fappNrs
would mufie up heavily. Until then
we may cover, but wen never bend
our knees"

Cd Foreign countries may fur

endeavoring to supply these for our

formerly.
~ They pay in Gold, which they
have been doing recently to an un-
tprecedented extent for our net I'M
ports of gold IA 1921 amounted 20
1867 1857, 900, the largest in our his
tory, compared with a net import OF
S9l, 1910 of gold in 1920; but we
already have far more gold than we
need. $3.656,9 SSS,000 on January /,
1922 about 40 per cent. of the
worlds total supply-and the sur
plus metal lies unused in the Federal
Reserve Banks, while the debtor coun-
tries need it to stabilize thei" own cur
rencies. Obviously, we cannot con-
tinue to receive gold at such rate as
was maintained in 1921; nor do we
need more gold.
CD They can pay out of the pro
ceeds Of American dollar loans abroad
and American purchases of foreign
currencies, and of foreign exchange
and currency bills. While it is known
that American speculative purchases
of foreign securities have been con
siderable, no reliable estimate can be
made of the total amount of such
purchases. On the other hand, the
total of American investments in for
eign loans payable in dollars can be
ascertajned with considerable accur-
acy
Foreign government and municipal
loans, including those Of our island
possessions, were issued in the United
States TO ~ amount of approximately
SlSSS, OOO,0 900 in 1921, while the issues
of foreign corporations or of domestic
corporations with foreign plants to-
tailed about $162, 100000. As approx
imately one-third Of these loans, how
ever, were issued for refunding pur-
poses, only q little more than $780,,
600 600 of credit was thus provided
foreign debtors for meeting CONNER
cial payments due here. This sum
was relatively slight in comparison
with the excess of our merchandise
exports over imports amounting, as
previously stated, to almost $4,000,
100000 in 1921.
From this analysis it is evident
that there are considerable difficulties
in the way of collecting the money
owed o. Us from abroad 50 long as
we continue 20 experience a favCra-
bic balance of trade. As the uufunded
balance owed to the United States by
foreign countries on open account IS
estimated by the Federal Reserve
Board on January /, 1922, 10 be up
wards of IS, i00.000,000, it is clear
that We have before Us d further per-
iod of adjustment which will require
the utmost financial, commercial, and
political wisdom to carry US through
without our losing q considerable por-
ton of our export trade.
Nevertheless. by skillful handling
of foreign credits. continued invest
ment in foreign loans by the American
public. and a willingness to accept
payment Of our debts through the i'm
portation of goods, we may be able 10
sustain our export trade at approx
mately its present volume. This is

farmers and producers Of raw mater

Women live longer than men.
The women who wear corSets
live longer than those who do
not. Nature and corsets work
together. Nature values the
female life more highly than
she does the male. So does
man in his control of creatures
lower than himself, if they are
useful. On the farm the male
of the kind is not so important
as the female. Chantecleer goes

sure where creatures are of no
great use, save for sport or

ciated, as any town clerk will
