THE CLOSE OF AN ERA.

They are buckling them in Boston" Like
the shot fired nearby which was heard around
the world, the tidings that they are buckling
them, flashed by wire and wireless, reach to
the remotest parts We may rejoice at the
message or be saddened; at any rate, it means
the passing OF an>era.

ing them unbuckleS is said to have originated
in Boston, but other cities may claim this dis
tinction. 1t marked the lapper come radantly

titled with her funny short hair and her abbre-

spontaneously scried: That's it-fapper!"
OF a sudden she is gone. or is going as fast

sufficient explanation.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD.

AS 1922 draws to close. men prominent in
American trade affairs naturally are talking a
good deal about prospects for next year. AL
most without exception they speak very hope
fully. They do not look for business BOOM"
and IT'S Just as we'll they don't, because
Blooms" have tendency to burst and careful
financiers, manufacturers and merchants,
though they may make the most OF them while
they last, don't like them. But they do look
for a steady, safe development of the country's
prosperity. The holiday business is reported
in many leading cities as having been the larg-
est in years. This is clear sign that people
have plenty of money and are confident Of good
times to come. There always is a period of
dizziness just after Christmas. It's expected
this season. q usual and viii worry nobody.
All business men are sure that it won't last
toA long and all indications are that it won't
happen.

THE RADIO IN THE HOSPITAL.

The rehabtlitatsd service men OF Miuneap-
oils planned novel Christmas gift for their
sick buddies. Each hospital-fast veteran was
provided with receiving set. He may be con-
fined to bed or to chair, he may be blind
or broken in limb. but the world. in speech and
song, will be brought to him. Instruction and
amusement will come flooding in to him, from
the best artists and entertainers all over the
country. A hospital experience today Is not
the sad and even tragic affair it once was. The
convalescent soon learns there are helpers
awaiting him.
What friendly, circle does not show to its
best advantage Around its disabled members
For them the elbow OF competition turns into
the friendly hand of cooperation. Among the
new compensations to the thorn-bearers is now
to be placed the radio. Like friendly wizard
this will abolish the isolation Of the sick room
and attune the patients to the affairs of the
great world.

EUROPEAN FINANCIAL TANGLE.

Europe may leave 1t to the United states
10 decide how much Germany must pay in war
damages TO the allies. The peace treaty fixed
an amount, but the agreement hasn't been kept.
Germany insists II is absolutely impossible
France say itisnt England isn't sure. This
uncertainty is the worlds principal ailment
today.
The interested countries could make up
their minds what to do about definite sum.
The Germans would know where they stood
how much they must torn over % the allies
and how much they could keep for themselves
The allies would know what to CONT on.
But as it is, no country can do anything that
calls for money or credit, because none Of them
has the least idea how much it's got, or can get
or keep. So, naturally, business stands still.
II the United States. as disinterested out
slider. could settle this difficulty, it would, be
the salvation OF all parties concerned How
ever, It's very ticklish situation to mix into.
That there's a plan afoot for an American
commission to attempt settlement Is not
much more than rumor. but it's a rumor that
there Is fairly good reason to believe is found.
ed on fact-some fact at any rate. True. Sec
rotary OF State Hughes denies that the govern
ment has made any such propose" to Europe.
That no out-and-out proposal has been
made doesn't mean much, however. 1t isn't to
be expected that this government would make
proposal to another government unless it
knows positively that the proposal would be
accepted. II one were made and then had to
be refused it would be very embarrassing to
both sides. Thetefore International "propos-
ais" aren't made oR-hand. Instead, some indi-
vidual or group, of sufficient importance to be
trusted unofficially inquiries of other people lin
the know how certain proposal would be re-
ceived, II made.
This is as far as anybody supposes matters
have progressed in connection with the 6nan-
cial difference of opinion between Germany and
the allies. Secretary Hughes doesn't say some
such informal conversation hasn't started, and
London dispatches say that well informed cir
cles" there beiieye that it has.
The next thing you'd be for Germany to
raise loan, to begin paying off the money, AS
high financial authority as J. p Morgan has
said the first thing to do is to reach such an
agreement He didn't say the>loan would fol-
low, but he did, say that no loan could be man
aged otherwise. There's no doubt that the
Germans and the allies both are hopeful the
loan would come next. So, for that matter, are
American business men, because Europe's trou-
bles cannot but have an effect on this side OF
the ocean as we'll as in the Old World and
whatever helped the latter would help this
country too. \

And then and there
He schemes and plots, with deadly craft
To sweep US with an icy draught.
The fresh air fiend, the fresh air fiend.
So vigorous, SO ruddy-miened,
Within a barn he should be kept.
A barn by frigid breezes swept;
But there, guess
He'd feel distress,
And for more air he'd loudly shout
Until the horses kicked him out

HEROES OF LIFE.

Outstanding events tell the world of most
of its heroes, andsit enjoys acclaiming them,
even sometimes rewarding them. But now and
recognizing some of those priceless virtues by
which the world struggles upward. To such a
hero-a heroine, as it happens-a French news
paper has just awarded prize of 10000 francs
as the result of contest to find the most
worthy girl
This is her simply story: When she was II
her mother died, leaving her with six younger
aged the house and kept on at school as her
father insisted she should. But when she was
16, he fell in the service of his country. For
over there few men were exempt because of
family necessity. She was Is then, and since
then she has. kept the family together. cared
for sister suffering from tuberculosis, helped
another sister get schooling which has given
her more pay than the little mother herself
earns, takes up the slack when brother who
had begun to help was called for military SER
vice. She has kept together a family of six
until they are old enough to take care of them
selves and be useful members Of society and
good citizens of their country.
1t is quiet story. There are no high
lights no heroic moments or deeds of spon-
! taneous bravery. Why, there must have been
thousand, 10000 girls who have done some

recognition coming to just one such girl s6huld
