COLLECTING THAT BIG DEBT

Americans who do not relish the idea of forgvng the
Allies their debtsand such citizens to be majority
Inevitably find themselves facing the practical problem
of collection And the they look into the matter the
they fail to how any considerable part OF the
billions due can be paid in any of the usual ways.
The natural expectation is repayment in money which
is to say gold But has been pointed out repeatedly
the United States has already much of the worlds gold
supply and Europe little that much be expected
in that line Financers we shall be doing well, for
some years to come if succeed in collecting the interest
on Great Brtain's debt gold Britain hardly find
the gold within measurable period to pay the principal
and the other debtors not find enough to their
interest They are up against the problem with
gard to paying that Germany is against IN paying

PHON0GRAPH AIDS HER GOLF
Player Makes Public Method of I'M
provement on Which There Is
No Patent as Yet.

Take your photograph along
when you play golf and it may be
that you can play better golf.
If you have been making the
course, perchance, in 100 strokes,
you may be able to reduce your
game to, say, so strokes, or there
abouts.
Such demonstration was emf
nently successful on one of the lead
ing golf courses in Cleveland re-
Gently. 1t was conducted under the
guidance of Miss Edna Tenlopen,
golf expert, musician, society pet
and personal friend of President
Harding.
Miss Tenlopen told about it not
long ago while in Los Angeles, says
the Express of that city. She was
entertaining number of friends
in her home. Also, she had just
purchased dozen or more new pho
nograph records. Some of the
friends wanted to go out to the
country club and play golf, and
others wanted to remain and hear
the records.
Miss Tenlopen solved the prob
em by taking small monograph
o the golf course and continued to
play the new records while her
guests rambled gayly over the green.
And she declares that every one of
hem played the best golf of their
ives.

WERE NOT KEEN OBSERVERS
Washingtonians Might Have Saved
Time Had They Looked Over
Situation More Carefully.

A few years ago a Washington
office building boosted an Office that
excited the awe and admiration of
all who saw it. 1t was ornate, ele-
CANT, tasteful, decorative and all
that sort of thing-in one word,
nifty. 1t had a reputation; every
other Office in the building was COM
pared with it, and few reached
rating as high as so per cent.
But in the fullness of time the
occupant thereof moved on specif-
cally to New York, where all good
Washingtonians go if they can
stand the climate and the office
was closed. The glory of this par
ticular building had departed, I'M
til, recently, another sumptuous,
luxurious and pomme de terre es-
tablishment blossomed out therein.
Naturally, of course, old timers
in the building began comparing it
with the one that had excited so
much comment in the past. 1t was
about 1880 Some thought it was
even more elaborate; Others thought
it was equally SO, and some thought
it wasn't so much.
And who knows how long the de-
bate might have gone on, bootlessly |
and futilely, had not the discovery
suddenly been made that the two
offices had the identical furniture,
even to the waste basket?

IMPROVED SOUND BOX

Anything that eliminates sound
waves that are disturbing to those
produced by the action of the rec
ord itself, in Photographic devices,
will naturally improve the repro
duction of instrumental ard vocal
music. This is said to be done in
a patented photographic sound box,
described in Popular Mechanics
Magazine, of the usual shape, hay
ing the usual vibratory diaphragm
at one end, and between that ard
the outlet of series of disks with
registering openings, gradually de-
creasing in number toward the out+
let, so that the sound waves are not
affected by the sound box itself.

SUBSTITUTE FOR WHITE LEAD

The elimination of white lead,
with its poisonous effects, from the
manufacture of paint is apparently
promised by use of a product which
is now being manufactured by a
Sydney (Australia) concern. This
product is oxide Of anthony, which
is non-poisonous, and complete sue
cess is claimed for it. The anti
mony used in its manufacture is
taken from the Costerfeld mine,
Victoria, according to the Manufac-
turer's Journal Of Sydney. The
oxide is said to be produced cheaper
in Australia than in any other part
of the world, due to the invention
of novel contrivance by which it
is withdrawn from the ore chutes.

HAD REMEDY FOR BADNESS
Ancient Egyptian Physicians Did
Much Boosting Concerning the vlr-
tues of Peculiar Connection.

In the Pennsylvania Medical
Journal DR.. Frank Grocer Knowles
tells of the superstitions, fallacies
and facts of ancient medicine. Chal-
dean astronomers, according to Doc
tor Knowles account, maintained
that moonshine was potent alike in
causing lunacy, comforting beauty
or curing warts or asthma.
Even as late as the sixteenth CEN
fury A. D. the benefcent influence
Of the stars was so prevalent be-
lief that some physicians asserted
that everything in the body was
made of mercury, sulphur and salt,
and that the sun ruled the heart,
the moon the brain, Jupiter the
liver, Saturn the spleen, Mercury
the lungs, Mars the bile, Venus the
kidneys. The seven planetary met
ais were believed to be remedies for
diseases Of those organs.
About 5000 B. G. the Egyptians
had remedy that would grow hair
on the head of crocodile or on the
horn Of a rhinoceros, they declared.
The simple remedy was prepared
from equal parts of the fats Of a
lion, a hippopotamus, crocodile,
goose, serpent and ibex.

DID THEIR WORK TOO WELL
Trustees of Virginia Cemetery Wish
Employees Had Been Just
Little Less Industrious.

Industry is a commendable trait,
no doubt, but sometimes it has a
back kick as well. Let Washing
ton attorney tell the story.
Not long ago, it appears; two in
dustrious Virginians were employed
to set cemetery to rights. They
were given carte blanche to paint
up and clean up the place and to
make it look as nifty as possible
make it look like just the sort of
place to invite the casual passer-by
to go off and get shot or something
so the cemetery would have custom
ers. And the Virginians made
good. They pulled out the weeds;
they pruned the hedges and
trimmed the trees, moved the grass
and made that cemetery place
to delight the heart Of DR.. Berthold
Baer, or the Howards of Denver
city.
Everything would have been love
ly, in short, had not the industrious
Virginians, inspired by mad de-
sire to earn their money, decided
that they ought to move the best
looking stones over by the fence
And now the trustees Of the ceme-
cry in that little Virginia town are
how they are ever going
to get the cemetery population sort

AZ The Majestic

I'm epic of surging passion sweep
ing from the wide plains of the Ar
Geutinc through the fascinating friv-
olities of pre-war Paris into the blaZ-
ing turmoil of the German invasion
of Northern France was unfolded
Monday night at the Majestic thea
tire. 1t was the first showing of The
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
the 81 600, 600 Rex Ingram produce
ton made for Metro, which has been
the screen sensation of New York,
Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh, Detroit
and Los Angeles. The picture, adap-
ted by June MATHS from the great
novel of Vicente Blasco IbaneZ, has
intensified the dramatic force of the
original story and last night it held
the spectators breathlessly intent as
with swift, sure strokes it hammered
home the terror and grandeur of the
war-and a great deal of the humor
and light-hearted gaiety that kept
bubbling up through the turgid
stream of struggling humanity when
the world was in arms.
The director, Rex Ingram, has sue
ceeded in concentrating the great
struggle in a series of unforgettable
pictures that flash out the quintes-
sence of life at white heat. He
makes us see above the struggles the
awesome figures of the four horse
men. Conquest, War, Famine and
Death. prophesied by st. John in the
Book of the Apocalypse, charging
into our very hearts. And through
it all is the deeply human, deeply
moving spectacle of intensely real
people in their baffled attempts TO
readjust the demands of war days.
In this picture the war is realized on
a gigantic scale, with a greatness of
Imagination that dwarfs all other
ambitious attempts that the screen
has THE Four Horsemen' is
the fullllment of the promise of a
