Greater Part Of
Garland Million
For Public Good

New York, July 23--Confirmatio
of his endowment of the American
fund for public service here was
made today by Charles Garland of
North Carver, Mass, in formal
statement through Walter Welles
one of the incorporators of the fund,
that he was giving 100000 of his
$1.000.000 inheritance to the lad
vantage of all".
Garland, who attracted world wide
attention when he first refused the
s1,o00.000 bequcst from hiT fathers
estate, stated he gave the money be-
cause he thought inherited wealth
should be put to work for society,".
Il belive that every person is an
integral part of society,"" said Gar
land, "and that the interests Of one
individual cannot be divorced from
the interests of other members of
society without all having to pay
the price for it in the end. From
this it follows that I must strive
to use whatever recources I have to
the advantage of all. With this OBJ
Ject. I intend to turn over to the A
merican Fund for public service the
sum OF about 100000"

Painted Bunting Is Most Colorful
Bird

The fanciest of American birds is
the painted bunting. The depart
ment of agriculture says: "The
male painted bunting is one of the
most brilliantly colored birds of the
United States" The upper part of
the head and neck are shining
purplish violet, the middle of the
back yellowish green, wings and tail
purplish blue and the underparts and
rumps are vermilion or the brightest
red. The female is dark green above
and yellowish beneath.
This little jewel bird has not
failed to attract popular attention
and Is known under many names.
In Louisiana the French speaking
people have called it the nonpareil

EXCHANGE Rates Charm Germans

Thanks to the deprecated rate of
exchange, the export trade of Ham
burg continues to flourish, writes a
correspondent from there to "The
Daily Mail" and unemployment is
practically non-existent.
The port Is full up with all kinds
of merchandise, and it is not lack
of cargo, but the competition Of 9TH
er ports such as Bremen, which
keeps sea freights down. All the To-
cal shipyards and factories are going
full swing. and in many yards suffi-
cient workmen cannot be secured to
cope with the influx of foreign or
ders.
The Germans have little desire to
witness an improvement in their rate
of exchange. at any rate for the pres
ent, as the first result would newt
ably be the collapse Of their inflated
export trade and the industrial ruin
Of the country.

How to Prevent Golfers

The war gave us very definite evil
dence that the simple goiter is more
common among persons living in
land than among those living on the
seacoast. The physician interested
IN experimental medicine now tells
us that this simple goiter Is largely
preventable. 1t is due to lack of
iodin in food, in drinking water or
in air. The sea is the great store
house of iodin and when we move
away from it, we are apt to modify
our diet and exclude it's main sources
of iodin, sea food and sea moss
Gradually as the stored sources of
iodin are depleted in one, two or
three generations, golfers may de-
velop.
In three cities In Ohio, inland
cities in what is known as the goiter
belt. some large iodin-feeding ex-
periments have been conducted on
the school children. Twice yearly
for ten-day periods each, measured
doses of special iodin salts have been
fed to those children whose parents
consented to the experiment AS a
result of several years. experience
with this experiment. the conclusion
has been reached that lack of iodin
is main contributing cause to
simple goiter. To prevent the on
set of goiter two practical possibili-
ties are therefore at hand. The
first Is to increase the use of sea
foods in the diet; and the second
is. under the direction and observa-
tion of good physician. to follow
the plan of simple medication car

morning Mr.. Hoover will have from
attorney General Daugherty a report
on the powers accruing to the gov
ernment in the emerbency through
the cooperation of the interstate
commerce commission and it's au-
thority under the law regulating
interstate commerce.
In general Mr.. Hoover's program
was understood to contemplate the
creation of an emergency machine
with the committee composed Of a
representative from the departments
of commerce, justice, interior and
the Interstate commerce commission
with the commerce secretary as
chairman, operating through the
local committees established in the
producing districts at the time of
voluntary agreements fixing maxi
mum fair prices.

districts, and distribution of cars un-

ments already in force and by cooper
alton on the part of the railroads to
prevent competitive bidding sending
coal prices skyward.
While Mr.. Hoover's scheme was de-
clared to be based on the cooperation
OF the parties at interest in continuing
the distribution of coal, the authority
OF the interstate commerce commission
to act in emergency in behalf of in
terstate commerce was held to be the
government trump" card. To this
end appointment of representatives of
the commission to local committee was
considered as enabling the operation
of the program should cooperative ef-
forts in any district fall short

other man. How many there are
who, if suddenly deprived of their
means of livelihood, would be COM
pelleds to make a confession
similar to the one quoted in the
letter!
1t is "the rainy day that we al
ways dread but seldom feel is 60
ing to overtake US" that should be
guarded against through practices
of thrift. And, no matter how
sincerely we may believe that the
rainy day never will overtake US,
the fact remains that countless
numbers of persons have been de-
ceived by these same false hopes.
Perhaps no mistake is as common
as this failure to provide for the
rainy day. Too many are willing
to take a chance-to trust to
luck that sickness, unemployment
or some other misfortune will not
overtake them.
It is just as essential to the well
fare of the average person that he
make provision for the rainy
day as it is that he safeguard his
physical health.
The man who fails to look to
the future and to make provision
for times of adversely is his own
worst enemy. Those who practice
thrift may not always reach the
heights, but they never will reach
the depths.

day, saying that the Premier's letter
to M. Dubois, head of the reparatlons
commission on July 10 has been er-
roneously interpreted in some quar-
ters as containing the "instructions
of the French premier on the mo-
ratorium question to the French
representatives on the reparations
commission"
The note says in part:
1T is true that NJ. Poincare ad-
dressed q letter to M. Dubois on
that date, but the document only eX-
pressed partially the ideas of the
president of the cabinet, who at the
time he wrote it was not even in
possession of the report of the COM
mittee on guarantees. Under those
conditions the note could not rep
resent the final opinion of the chief
of the French government, which will
only be made up after the govern
ment has taken cognizance, Of all
written and verbal reports submitted
by the committee"
The report of the guarantees COM
mittee is not yet ready. but M.
Mauclere, of the committee, showed
M. Poincare a draft of the report
last night. 1t was after reading it
that he wired Premier Lloyd George
he would be ready to meet him Au-
gust /. The report will be handed to
the reparation commission the mid
die or end of this week and the
decision of the commission is not ex-
pected before the third or fourth of
August, when, according to the pres
ent plan, NJ. Poincare will be in
London.
Today's semi official note does not
mention what further suggestion the
French intend making at London, but
it is learned the French viewpoint
now Is that before long moratorium
is granted to Germany supplement-
ary reforms and additional guaran-
tees should be demanded. Such re-
forms might be adopted and guar
antees given with but very short
delay, necessitating the suspension
of one or two monthly cash pay
ments only.
The effect of reforms and guar
antees added to the results expected
from new financial control is to be
installed in Germany by the guar
antees commission the French held,
would insure the floating and placing
of German foreign loan. Such a
loan. providing important resour .es
for the restoration of the devastated
regions, would then permit the grant
ing to Germany of q prolonged cash
moratorium.
Other angles of the reparations
question are to be discussed in Lon
don. The French are reported to
favor. first, cancellation Of inter-
Allied war debts without subordinat-
ing cancellation to q similar decision
by the United States: second, an
agreement by which reparations
payments should be assigned espec-
tally to restoring the devastated
regions. and, third, assurance that
German foreign loans, the proceeds
of which are destined for repara-
tions should be issued with the brief
est possible delay.

causes no menace to any other ma
ton but assures the impregnability Of
the continental United States in the
event of attack by any possible COM
bination."
General Pershing pointed out that
where a national guard division
might be assigned "a given beach
sector" for defense. it would be or
dered when mobilized at peace
strength to this region. taking up a
training area near enough to the ac-
tual beach position so as to be i'm
mediately available.
The division first task would be to
prepare its beach sector for defense.
For that purpose it is planned to
provide the divisions as a part of
it's regular training with all the data
and instruction necessary to enable
it to carry out that mission on its
arrival in the sector.
That done, the division would
withdraw to its nearby training cen
ter and begin bringing its units up
to war strength and getting together
Its full war equipment and UNDER
take its intensified war training.
Meanwhile, the memorandum said,
defense Of the actual beach position
could be left until word from naval
or air scouts called the troops into
the prepared defenses to meet an
actual enemy attack.
1.-THE character Of our military re-
sources as well as our attitude to-
ward other nations imposes upon us
an initial strategic defensive" Gen
eral Pershing said. But this does
not involve renouncing a subsequent
offensive.
Had the United States in the
spring of 1917 possessed twenty five
or thirty divisions completely organ
lied and equipped, but, only trained
sufficiently to meet the requirements
| of the national position in readiness
| above outlined, each of these divis-
ions would have been advanced many
| months as compared with the en-
tirely new divisions it was necessary
| to create. Unled such circumstance
! the period for beginning of the Amer
| ican offensive operations in France
on a large scale would have been
| greatly advanced"
The memorandum points out thai
| the defensive machinery planned is
| dependent upon "the large number
! of war trained officers available
and also upon more adequate
sources of military equipment and
material as well as upon the speci-
fic sanction given in the national de-
fense act. General Pershing laid
stress. however, on the assertion that
the System of training young men
ultimately to replace the present wal
! trained officers, perpetuating the sup
ply of necessary of officers personnel
was a vital factor in the whole pro-
