now after the world war, great
strides are being made in women's
work. The result of men and wo-
men working together on the great
world problems should bring about
a recognition of value and freedom
of woman.
1--WE all desire and need progress
and we shall advance more rapid
ly if we keep our eyes ever on the
goal, rather than watching our
steps. 1t needs a clear vision to
look beyond the present.
ut is vision that impels the
worker to store up reservoir of
useful knowledge for the equally
visionary inventor to apply to labor
saving devices. Every piece of ar
chitecture was first a dream. IN
order to think in larger terms on
any question, we must get away
from our personal interests and
feel akin to the wholew orld.

~Btood Money!

blood Money" was the name ap-
piled in the Middle ages and wen into
the more modern period to the money
paid for bloodshed. 1t might be either
the compensation paid by a manslayer
to the nearest relatives Of the victim,
to secure himself and his kin frbm
vengeance, or the money paid as q
reward for bringing about the death
of another, directly or through evil
dence. 1t was once common among
the Scandinavian and Teutonic peo-
pies, who called this money payment
wergild. The price varied with the
nature of the crime and the rank of
the victim. Certain crimes, such as
the Staying of a sleeping person, could
not be compensated by money pay
ment such criminals were declared
outlaws and could be Stain with i'm
punity. The term Is now often applied
to the reward or bride paid for giving
up criminal to Justice

SITS 100000 for federal aid in building
Of public highways. 1t enacted law
for the protection OF American owned
cable and radio service. II enacted a
new tar measure, which reduces the
public taxation for the current year in
the sum OF sS1S,0OO, 900, the bulk Of
which Is saved to the man OF medium
income.
In addition to enacting the Budget
Law creating the Budget Bureau, un.
der which all economies which have
been made by executive departments
were made possible, the Congress,
upon its own initiative, cut over $780,
100000 from appropriations requested
by various departments and boards,
thus carrying out the Presidents de-
sire for rigid economy.
In addition to carrying out the Pres
ident's program 1t enacted restrictive
immigration law. II amended the
Edge Act in order to facilitate Amer.
ica's foreign trade. 1t reorganized the
Philippine financial system IN order to
save the islands from bankruptcy as
a result of maladministration under
the Wilson regime. 1t reorganized the
Indian Bureau and reorganized the
Postal Service and readjusted salaries
in that department. In fulillment Of
the Presidents request, the House
passed a permanent tariff measure
the Fordney Biz. The House also
passed the Dyer Bill, which makes
lynchng federal offense and provides
for federal punishment of that crime.
In his annual message to Congress
in December, the President made sup
Elementary recommendations, among
them being the enactment of CO.
operative marketing law; the appro'
priation of funds to relieve the famine
In Russia: the creation Of a commits
sion to handle the refunding OF our
foreign loans; and the enactment Of
LEGISLATION to stop the issuance OF tax
exempt securities.
. Every one of these recommendations
has been enacted into law with the
exception of the one regarding the is
suance OF non-taxable securities and a
bill to carry that recommendation into
effect is now we'll on its way through
Congress.
This record shows that the House
co.operated with the President exact
ly 100 per cent IN enacting such leg
islation as he recommended-a record
of cooperation between the executive
and legislative branches of Congress
which has no equal in the annals of

Any one VINO has followed the con.
duct OF the Government since Mr..
HardtnFs Induction into the presf.
deney must marvel at the rapidly
with which the cost Of government has
been reduced II IL the constant aim
Of the Administrative and legislative
branches OF the government, all IN con-
troll of the Republican Party, to I'D
minister the affairs of the Government
on strictly business basis, expend
ing not a single dollar for any purpose
not essential to the Nations needs
The one thing on which all are agreed
is rigid economy in Government ex-
penditure, and nothing can more forci-
bly, portray the story of accomplish
ment achieved in this direction than
the statement that costs have been
reduced to the extent above indicated.
/ One billion, five hundred and seven
! teen million have been expended on
| the care of the wounded and sick sol
diers Of the World War up to Febru-
airy LIST, last, indicating that nothing
has been left undone to provide for
the care and comfort Of the men who
gave themselves to the country in Its
hour Of need.
The country is to be congratulated
on having Mr.. Harding in the presi,
dency: The problems handed down te
him from the war complicated theus.'
they are, have been solved in the ir
terest OF the people. He has had the
vision to see, the patriotism to do, and
the courage and ability to achieve. His
devotion to the Nations needs kat
been the admiration Of all who have
watched him. He has been jealous
paipstaking, patriotic, unt.ring and IN
selfish. and he has had and will have
the hearty cooperation Of the Con
gress in his efforts to put tae ccurtry
on a stable basis. Nineteen hundred

Original Playing Cards.

The original pack Of cards was a
culver of arrows Playing cards are
regarded as derived from the divina-
tory use Of the arrow away back in
the cradle of cfvflization-China or
India, says Stewart Culin, the archae-
ologfst. The ancients played games
with marked arrows, and the
Museum OF Archaeology. University Of
Pennsylvania, has several specimens
of these primitive playing cards
Ancient Chinese and Corean cards
are long and narrow, and by their
design and name show Enthusiastically
that they are conventionalized shaft
ments of arrows, retaining in their

of the culver of arrows from which they
were derived The old Corean and
Chinese name for playing cards is

When the newly elected Republican
congress was convened In special ses-
sion April II, 1921, the nation was still
legally at war with the Central Powers
Of Europe and the domestic problems
confronting the country were of great
er magnitude than any previous ad.
ministration in the history Of the
United States had ever been called
upon to solve
The President and the Congress had
well-defned program of rehabilita.
ton and reconstruction. In his address
opening the special session of Con.
gress the President asked the pas
sage of a resolution declaring a state
OF peace between the United States
and the Central Powers. He urged, In
addition, the enactment OF an emer.
gency tariff, a permanent tariff, the
creation of budget system; legisla-
ton providing relief to agricultural in
terests; federal aid to public high.
ways; new tax law which would les.
sen the burden CO public taxation and
eliminate excess profits taxes; a con.
solidation OF the various government
agencies handling relief for ex.service
men; maternity and infancy welfare
law; law. to punish lynching by fed
eral statute; encouragement for and
regulation Of cable and radio service;
and, above all else, rigid economy in
appropriations for the operating ex.
penses of the Government.
The best and the conclusive answer
as to whether or not the Republican
Congress has co-operated with the Re.
publican President in carrying out the
program is the citation Of the record
Of accomplished acts. The Emergency
Tariff was law May q. The reso.
luton terminating state of war be.
tween the United States and the Cen.
trail Powers was in full force and eff.
feet July 2 The Budget Law was in
force and effect June 10, in time to
apply to the new fiscal year beginning
July l. The Sweet Bill to coordinate
all agencies dealing with ex-seryica
men was law by August g.
In order to assist the agricultural
interests the Congress amended the
War Finance Corporation Act, which
provided round billion dollars of new
credit for agricultural and livestock
interests; passed the Packers and
Stockyards Act, the Capner-Tiucher
Act to regulate grain exchanges and
the Nelson-Curtis Act which increased

The estimates submitted by Presi-
dent Wilson for the conduct OF the
Government for the fiscal year 1921
amounted to $3.50, oe0,s 900, and the ap-
propriations made under these esti-
mates by Republican Congress
amounted to s4,7sS, 900, 900, showing an
approximate saving in appropriations
for that year of s1,400,000, 600.
The estimates submitted by Presi.
dent Wilson for the fiscal year 1922
were 5,6OO,00O,O00, and the appropria.
tons made under these estimates by
a Republican Congress were reduced
to s4,O65, 100000, showing an approx
mate saving OF s1,600,O00,000.
The estimates for the fiscal year
1923 submitted by President Harding
amount to 1888, 100000, and The ap
preparations, wher completed, will
probably be $500 1tA, 900, or S353,000,
coo less than the estimates.
The people of the United States
should understand that for many years
to come it will not be possible to run
the Government for less than $500,
100000 per annum. This seems like
a very large sum, but when it is real
lied that we have three fixed charges
consisting OF interest on the public
debt, sinking fund, and maintenance
Of the Veterans Bureau. which wer,
created by the war and amount 70 ap
proximately> 81. ooo, 100000 per annum
1t Will be seen that the other expensel
Of the Government have been reduced
by the Republican Administration tt
$500 900, 900.
The annual cost Of the Government
before the war was 1920 100000
Thus It will be seen that the presen
cost, aside from the fixed charges re
ferred to, is but S25o, 100000 in exces
OF pre-war cost, and at least $4,000
900 OF this is accounted fc- by tn
normal increase in the business of tn
postal service, leaving but $100,000,00
of expense 70: ordinary purposes j
excess OF pre-war casts.
