Three hun- dred marks used to be fair months salary. It takes that much to buy two pounds of in- different butter. One thousand marks will pay for plain kitchen cabinet today. Eight years ago a four-room apartment could be rented for that sum.
 All German towns are feeling the high cost of living. In Berlin necessities of life are 220 times pre-war prices; in Bremen, Karlsruhe, Lubeek, Ludwigshafen and Schwerin 25o times and at Worms and Fuda more than 300 times.
 If German worker were paid no more than he received before the World war he would starve to death, but his wages in marks have increased to point where he can at least live and support his family, although there is gen uine poverty in Germany, In spite of these conditions, German industry and commerce are rapidly recovering. That is easily explained. There are no loafers in Germany. Everybody is at work.

SOME IRISH POSES

William Butler Yeats, in the Dial.
 No country could have more natural dis taste for equality, for every circle there was some man ridiculous for posing as the type of some romantic or distinguished quality. One of our friends, man of talent and of learn ing, whose ancestors had come, he believed, from Denmark in the ninth century, looked and talked the distinguished foreigner so per fectly that a patriotic newspaper gave par ticulars of his supposed relations in contem- porary Denmark A half-mad old man who had served for few months in the pope's army, many years before, still rode an old white war horse in all national processions, and, if their enemies were not lying, town councillor had challenged another to duel by flinging his glove upon the floor; while a popular lord mayor had boasted in public speech that he never went to bed at night with out reading at least 12 pages of sappho.

, PARKS ARE SACRED

Tt would be the most beneficial thing if our people could be forever weaned from the idea every once in while put forward that the parks be used for other than park pur- poses," said T. s. Smith.
 "A dedication of land for park purposes is one of the most sacred things in the law, and court after court has decided that the dedica- tion stands forever, no matter whether the original donor is willing to change its tenor or not.
 "It would be- pretty come-off if the pio- neers of Birmingham, who gave parks to the city and dedicated them to that purpose, should have their generous acts diverted after they are in their graves.
 Lets quit thinking of our parks as any thing but parks, for that is what the dedi- cated park acreage is going to remain.'

QUANTITY PRODUCTION

From "My Life and Work" by Henry Ford in
 Collaboration With Samuel Crowther
 We were almost over night, it seems, in great production. How did all this come about?
 Simply through the application of in evitabe principle-by the application of intel little dark shop on a side street old man had labored for years making ax handles. Out of a seasoned hickory he fashioned them, with the help of draw shave, a chisel, and supply of sandpaper. Carefully was each handle weighed and balanced. No two of them were alike. The curve must exactly fit the hand and must conform to the grain of the wood. From dawn until dark the old labored. His average production was eight handles week, for which he received dollar and half each And often some of these were un- saleble-because the balance was not true. Today you can buy better handle, made by machinery, for few cents And you need not worry about the balance They all alike-and every one is perfect Modern meth ods applied in big way have not ony brought the cost of ax handles down to fraction of their former cost-but they have improved the product.
 It was the application of these same methods to the making of the Ford car that at the very start lowered the price and heightened the quality. We just developed an idea, and that idea was developed by men. The nucleus of a business may be an dea-that is, an inventor or a thoughtful workman works out new and better way to serve some established human need; the idea commends itself, and people want to avail themselves of it. In this way a single individual may prove, through his idea or discovery, the nucleus of business But the creeation of the body and bulk of that business is shared by every who has any thing to do with it. No manufacturer can say: q built this business"-if he has required the help of thousands of men in building it. It is a joint production. Every one, employed in it has contributed something to it. By working and producing they make it possible for the purchasing world to keep coming to that business for the type of service it pro- vides, and thus help establish custom, trade, a habit which supplies them with a livelihood That is the way our company grew.

THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
 Maurice Donnay, Frenchman, who has just returned to Paris from Moliere celebration in America, tells his countrymen that they must learn English. France and the United States, he warns, Twill never understand each other until they speak the same language, and as two-thirds of the civilized world already is speaking English, France must no longer re- main in the background"
 It is not clear how he finds two-thirds of the. civilized world speaking English today, but perhaps he arrives at it by process of exclusion. Nevertheless, there is point in his appeal. The French are intensely self-suffi- cient. They are not good mixers. They are more or less indifferent in other languages and cultures. They resented the intrusion of English as one of the official languages at Yer sailles. holding to the traditional use of French in diplomacy.
 But if there is to be an approach to uni versal language, why not English "good old United States?" It is the language spoken, al- though as Bernard Shaw has said, through different organs" by the dominant peoples of the day.

HAVE SACRIFICES OF WAR BEEN WORTH WHILE?

Speaking informally to little crowd as- sembled in Arlington cemetery to do honor. to the Confederate dead there, President Hard ing said;
 Sacrifices of Confederate and Federal sol diers alike went into the foundations on which have been erected an enduring and tested na- rtion."
 Nations are not made by qualification of self, but by what men and women are willing to do for the mass; the sacrifices which they are willing to make for the preservation of society.
 In contrast with the spirit of the Argonne, buying Liberty bonds, and doing without cer- tain luxuries and even comforts that the world might be saved for democracy, the nation has morally retrograded since the war. Used to seeing precedents of peace turned aside for wars necessity, people have not recovered their respect for the law.
 Sometimes it seems that the sacrifices have not been worth while. Certainly wars are un- mitigated horrors, almost as bad in their after effects as in the destruction wrought during actual conflict

THE STAR ACT

From the New York Evening Post
 Lillian Leitzel, acrobat and solo performer in the circus, was giving an exhibition of trapeze work, high above the floor of the darkened arena. Her acrobatics are of the most violent sort, and in the stunt she had just fin ished she had thrown her body back and forth with jerks that looked as though they would tear her arm from it's socket.
 At the end she hung motionless by arm, facing the glare of the spotlight

sUNDowN IN OLD cAHABA

By Thomas c. McCorvey. A silence dense as that which broods above The barren rock where stood Phoenician Tyre Lies on the cotton fields of old Cahaba Which cradled once the infant government Of now mighty state Still of yore Cahaba's limpid waters glide and blend With lordly Alabama's yellow tide. Along their homeward path, where oft there
 rolled
 Grand carriages of state, the jaded mules With Hopping ears and dangling blow chains
 go,
 Bestridden by their dusky Afric guides. The scurrying rabbit with his cotton tail Against the brown earth draws streak of
 white;
 And far in sedgy grass is softly heard The quail cocks love call to his hiding mate. The bull bats wheel and dive for their evening
 meal
 Of lagoon-bred mosquitoes; while hungry gars With sudden strikes upon the rivers breast Send circling waves ashore From gnarly trees The slowly dipping gaunt shadows casts which lengthen out into the evenings dusk And from the swamps the hooting owls pro-
 claim
 The melancholy, peaceful close of day While stars creep out along the horizons rim A spirit pageant from the past appears. From out the night upon the selfsame site The long dead pioneer city breathes again, And through its veins the lusty love of life Pours its red tide. In gala day attire The people crowd upon the rivers bank To greet the nations guest, great Lafayette, Who from Montgomery's welcome, now fares To view the bivouacs of the newborn state. Where river willows droop their lower limbs And lave their leaves, band of Indian braves, Be-painted and be-crested all, stand mute In stanch dugouts, and gaze in deepening awe To see the fire boat" come around the bend. Upon it's deck the hero-guest appears, Bold and erect in soldier form as when He shut the British in the Yorktown trap. Proud at his side strong Israel Pickens stands, Whose statecraft shaped the work the Bibbs
 began,
 And as the boat rounds to, the frontier guns Glad welcome roar; and from the eager throng That lines the rivers bank mighty cheer That wakes it's echoes from Cahaba hills Bespeaks the citys joy.
 The gang plank drops And it grates upon the soil, the pail Of long gone years falls on the fading scene, And leaves Cahaba to her cherished dead And the proud history which they had
 wrought.

TO VISIT MOTHER

We expect to have really happy reunion at Mutterstadt, in the old country, this sum mer," said Leopold Loeb, who leaves this week to join his brother Leo Loeb, at the old home in Europe. Leo, his wife and two chil- dren are already there, and Leo writes me that mother, although quite old, is in good health When I join the group with my wife and child, it will be complete and we expect to have good time in the family circle.
 By the way, the literal translation of Mutt terstadt is Mothers Town which makes it quite appropriate for a reunion with the mother as the central figure.p

ALL COTTON STATISTICS
 ARE FAVORABLE

The most reliable information points to high CT prices for cotton. Statistics are better data on which to rely than the day-by-day gym nastics of the exchanges brought about by con- tending interests whose fortunes do not lie in the staple itself, but the ebb and flow of cur rent speculation.
 Some of the incontestable facts are these:
 Exports since August l last year, 5,130,o0o bales, compared with 4,461, ,OOO bales in the pre- ceding 10 months.
 Worlds visible supply, 5,162,ooo bales, conn pared with 6,696,ooO bales at this time last year.
 Southern consumption since August l, 2,9s6,oOO bales, compared with 2,456,ooo bales in the preceding period.
 Northern mill, takings, 1,96o,0oo bales, compared with 1.695,ooo in the preceding 10 months.
 Price of New York cotton, 21.5o cents on May 27, compared with IS. 15 cents on April 27 this year; 1925 cents on May 2S, 1921, and 12. 25 cents on July 8, 1914.
 These figures bearing on consumption, sup ply and demand, cannot be ignored and should not. They cause the Wall Street Jour nal to observe:
 "official statistics show that world con- sumption of cotton in the season ending with July will mean an increase of 2,ooo,ooO bales over the preceding year and considerably more than all the cotton raised in the world last season. Increasing stability in Europe gives assurance that in the season from August 1. 1922, to July s1, 1928. the world will use still more cotton, and will come near to the highest record made before the war"

WITHDRAWAL OF BAKHMETEFF
 SHOULD PLEASE BORAH

Senator Borah seems to have succeeded in terminating the diplomatic service of Boris Bakhmeteff in America. The Kerensky ann bassador, who has been representing gov ernment that went out of existence five years ago, will not be recognized by the state de- partment after June 30. The work he has been doing will be carried on by an attache who will enjoy full diplomatic privileges
 The correspondence exchanged between Secretary Edghes and Secretary Mellon ab- solves Bahkmeteff of any blame in liquidating property claims growing out of the war. Sem ator Borah, in his characteristic way, tried to make it appear that Bahkmeteff had msappro- priated large sums of money intrusted to the Russian embassy.
 sThere was evidently no basis for these charges. They existed only in the excited inn agination of Senator Borah. It might have been apparent to anyone with settled habits of thought that Bakhmeteff was cooperating with the state and treasury departments all the time, and if there had been any irregu- larities he would not have continued to en- joy the protection of the state department
 Senator Borah is the kind of statesman who has keen eye for spectacular effects, and this is not the first time he has made great noise about nothing in particular. He may boast that he succeeded in driving Bakhmeteff out of the country, but the ambassador has practically completed his work. There is not much more for him to do, and his offer to re- tire, which promptly accepted by the state department, should soothe the ruffled feelings of Borah.
