CHILDREN AND POLICE

The superintendent of police of Washington, D. c., has
instructed officers in his department to make friends with
the citys children.
at is the desire of the department." he said, " to have
the men dispel the children's fear of them. It is only by|
making the policeman a fast friend of children that the best
progress may be made in their development to clean, healthy
manhood and womanhood."
He pointed out that perfect confidence and understand
ing between children and policemen would prevent many
street accidents, mischievous FRANKS and petty crimes. Po-
licemen have many duties-such as law enforcement, traf-
fc regulation, crime prevention and apprehension of Offend
ers-but among the greatest of all their duties is the physl-
cal and moral protection of childhood.
This is indeed a fine conception of the relationship of
any police force to the children of the community. Any
superintendent or chief issuing such instructions to his men
should at the same time issue instructions to those foolish
overwhelmingly few in number-who use the corner
policeman as a substitute for sane discipline in their child's
training. The father or mother who says, "You stop your
teasing, Johnny, or I'll get the policeman after you" is COM
hitting a serious offense against childhood, p%arenthood and
normal citizenship.
Concern over the state of Germanys finances should
not blind the other nations to the fact that if there had been
no necessity for the obliteration of the German marks in
France there would be no necessity for the obiteration Of
the German mark in Germany.

ST. MARY'S NEW HIGH SCHOOL

The laying of the cornerstone for the new high school
being erected by st. Mary's parish marks another step in the
progress that st. Marys church is making under the leader
ship of its pastor, Mgr. Cantwell. 1t is not only a mark of
progress for the parish, but it means much for the city as a
whole. 1t helps place Perth Amboy in the forefront in the
matter of education.
Some idea of the eXtensiveness of the building can be
had from the steel framework that has been erected. That
it will be an imposing structure is apparent. Every citizen,
Catholic or not, can take pride in this achievement.
1t is significant, too, that the building is to be used ex-
clusively for high school classes. A full four year course will
be given that will rank with any high school in the state. 1t
is to be a high school center for all Catholics of this vicinity.
Altogether it is an enterprise well worth while.
st. Mary's parish has made wonderful strides since Mgr.
Cantwell has taken up the work in this city. His ability as
an administrator as well as a pastor is clearly demonstrated
by what he has been able to do. 1t also speaks we'll for the
members of the parish whose loyalty and devotion has made
this progress possible.

However, like other people, most of us are reasonably

patch. And, too, most of us save an atticful of stuff that
ftmight come in handy''-but never does.
The big waste in America cannot be prevented by the
people. The job is up to inventors and engineering experts.
A ton of coal leaves the mine with 29,000,000 British
thermal (heat) units locked up in it. But only 1,O14,OOO OF
these heat units are actually converted into mechanical en-
ergy. The rest is wasted-lost in transit, up the chimney or
carried away by the ashman.
You could fry an egg in a twinkling by holding the
'spider'' over the top of the average chimney. No one has
ever been able to figure out how to save that wasted heat
Eventually some one will. The solution may be in putting a
water tank a few inches above the chimney top, or water pipes
crossing within the chimney.
Stag in the steel industry used to be wasted, piled up IN
small mountains. Now it is ground up and used as a surfac-
ing for bricks.

The profits of many big corporations today are largely In
such economies as these.

waste, than any other field. M

ALLIED DEBT CANCELLATION

Some of the addresses delivered at the American bank
ers' convention that was held in New York last week called
10 mind the published statements, a short time ago, of two
prominent and respected American business men and fnan-
cial experts who recently returned from Europe where they
were studying conditions at first hand. Concerning the can
collation. of the allied debt, Otto H. Kahn said:
by means of gold, raw materials and other assets US
able by US only a small fraction of the debts could possibly
be paid. By means of services and import of manufactured
goods we do not want them paid, because that would be
disastrously destructive to our commerce and industry
He urges cancellation.
j. P. Morgan has said:
GAS a practical proposition those debts can never be
paid, but they should be cancelled for another reason. This
money was loaned our allies after we entered the war, at
which moment we pledged all our strength and resources to
winning it. While we were sending dollars, the allies were
sending soldiers until ours got there. l look upon these loans
as being the same sort of contribution to victory as our send
ing 1000, 900 troops"
What is the answer? The public has not decided. The
government does not know yet. But it begins to look as if
cancellation might be the eventual outcome, providing al
ways that cancellation will not prove to mean aiding Ger
many at the expense of France, England or the United States.

THE REFEREE
(By Albert Apple)

Roger Dolan, fishing in Port
age Lake, Ontario, catches a dore-
wall-eyed-pike-perch, generally and
incorrectly called Canadian nickerel.
Dolan kills the ~four-pound hsn
| with a club, throws it in his canoe.
| Half hour later, on shore. he cleans
| the dore, tears its insides out. Two
| hours afterward, he happens to no.
tice the "cleanings" and finds h
heart beating normally and vigor-
| ously as if in the fish. Life still
was present.
No one can explain it. But this
much is probable: II the dore had
| the human ability to worry, It's heart
would have stopped in the canoe or
when the insides were torn out.
Worry is a sure killer.
Debt
The national debt now Is nearly
two and a half billion dollars less
than it was three years ago.
1t was cut down $230,000,000 IN
September, lowering it to $~22,S12,-
407,791.
At this rate of reduction, the en-
tire national debt would be wiped
out by the year 1880. Don't expect
it. Much of the reduction to date

materials. The junkman mas I'm
ished the best of the picking.
Henry Ford orders his foremen
to speed up production and install
new machinery so that the output OF
Fords will be 5000 a day by April 1,
1923.
Allowing for Sundays, Ford will be
able to turn out nearly WI million
cars a year, the greatest industrial
miracle of history.
Ford is always expecting better
and better business. And he gets it
for many reasons, chief of which
is that he neve hypnotizes himself
into stagnation by anticipating" de-
preston.
In the long run, we usually get
what we expect, no more, no less.
Saved
Maxim Gorky says that food fur
nished by the American Relief Ad-
ministration has saved the lives of
9 10000, 900 Russians.
This cancels a considerable por-
ton of the wars death toll. There
has never been anything like IT., in
peacetime, in the way of revealing
human suffering.
And still, abroad, we are called a
selfish nation.
Failures
More than 1900 business firms
failed between the first of the year
and Oct. 1. It's a big figure, but at
least 100000 companies went
through the nine months without
failing.
The liabilities of the failures ex-
ceeded their assets by about $780,
900, 900. Spread evenly over the
whole population this is less than
50 for each American.
Most of us looked at hard times
through a high powered magnifying
glass. The lone ship that perishes
at sea gets the attention. No. one
notices the vast fleet that rides the
gale safely.
The biggest check ever drawn is
exhibited in New York. 1t trans
ferred 5000, 900, 900 from the national
treasury during the war, and was
the beginning of the big debt owed
to America by the allies.
Nearby in the collection, is the
check for $1,000, 900. which paid for
our purchase Of Alaska from Rus
sia.
There certainly Is no limit to va
riety, when 1t comes to Uncle Sans
investments.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Attsud-
ing dead letter sales is popular sort
in this city. A local auction house
was crowded to the doors a few
days ago when the government put
up at auction an accumulation of
several months unclaimed ard IN
mailable parcel post matter.
Some people have an idea that a
dead letter sale is conducted along
lottery lines. A glimpse into the
auction room would bear out this
impression. No goods are in sight.
The a%uctioneer, high above the
crowd, is rafting Off as fast as he
can:
Lot number twelve-at five dol
lars. six dollars. at seven dollars,
yours for seven dollars MI. Brown"
Then, without a pause for breath,
the ~auctioneer is Keeling off the next
number and calling for bids. The
bidders in the crowd are closely fol-
lowing the sale by their catalogues,
but these give only the most gem
eral description of each lot of goods.
Apparently they are buying in the
dark.
This is not the case. however,
The day before the sale the articles
to be sold were on display. Long
rows of packing boxes with aisles
between them ranged the length
of the auction room. Each box
contained one lot of goods. Scarce
ly any articles are disposed of
singly at these sales when a large
amount of goods is to be auctioned.
One great wooden box labeled
Cigars" cigarettes, tobacco and
snuff" was filled to the brim with
cigar boxes, packages of cigarettes,
loose, silver wrapped cigars, tobacco
bags, and mi In each of three
boxes there were ten to twelve suit
cases. The cases had probably
beer mailed packed with articles
and had missed delivery by wrong
or insufficient address. Now they
were being sold empty. Most of
them were old and travel worn.
Ten mems suits damaged" filled
another box. Others contained such
robes, damaged" Golf outfits,
clubs, case, balls, etc.; Fifty pairs
eyeglasses, damaged"; and 400
miscellaneous handkerchiefs."
Comparatively few persons would
care to buy 400 handkerchiefs for
personal use even at a bargain price
OF say ten dollars. Such foresight
edDess would be extreme. House.
wives were poking around among
the boxes, however, seeming out de-
sirable collections of kitchenware,
blankets, and ribbons.

Mr.. Smith says that no one need
worry about having to carry their eats"
Charges will be made, of course, but
whatever profit is made will be applied
