MILITARY

Belgium and France sign military alliance
They will act together, regardless Of circumstan-
ces-"come hell or high water" as the Old Cattle
man would have put it.
Diplomats call such an arrangement "an alright
pact"
The surface intention is to give the bil-collec-
tor gun if Germany doesn't pay. In-the back
ground is uneasy fear OF a. German comeback
possibly allied with. Russia.

MAYNARD

A wealthy New York manufacturer was re-
peatedly robbed by his son. Finally he had the
lad arrested. With tears in his eyes, he has just
heard the>judge sentence the thief to three years
in the penitentiary.
The father says he became convinced that his
son was confirmed criminal and that "it was my
duty to protect society,"" ..
What would you have done, in his shoes?
Men and women usually never know what trou.
BILE is until they have family. There is no rea.
son why this Should be, except that there's some
thing wrong with the system of economics and
child-training.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS IN "GOOD STORIES

In writing Chauncy M Depew that he has
"found good deal of inspiration" in his my
Memories of Eighty Years." President Harding
makes an observation which tits to be shoped will
cause no blush of self-consciousnesss to- mantle
the cheek of the venerable author. IF were
permitted to venture single criticism of this
BOOK says the president:
1t would be that you have perpetuated in
it 50 many characteristic stories which are
certain to be stolen by after dinner speakers
for the next century or SO that fear your own
.repute as the foremost of American racon-
teurs will be liable to suffer. You know, the
after-dinner speaker is quite conscienceess as
to giving credit for the source of his anec-
dotes.
Mr.. Depews regard for the property rights of
others in good stories is no doubt beyond suspic-
ion. Given the faculty of invention in conspic-
uous degree the need Of appropriation is to that
extent reduced. But is it always possible to de-
termine the origin Of anecdotes? Some with a
venerable pedigree have way of getting lost and
reappearing as new To the present generation
the story Of Thackeray and the oysters-which
made him think he chad swallowed live baby"
lis novel: Sunday reviewer of Mr. Depew's
volume calls it "a remarkably funny story" which
lit is, was and ever will be, whoever first said it.
Coed stories are ferae nature They are fair
game for all after-dinner speakers and belong to
the one who tells them best. AS for Mr.. Depew
he has been responsible for so many of them that
he may feel like Macaulay, that "a man should
have enough to spare something for thieves -

SELFISHNESS

Gabriel Wells, who buys THE original manu-
script of story Of Charles Dickens, pays $120
a page.
Why pay so much when he could buy the same
story, printed, at half a cent page or less?
The answer is obvious. Wells pays the big
price for "the only specimen" something that
cannot be duplicated.
The craving for possession of rare things is in
stinctive in most people. It is mild outcropping
of selfishness, the regulator of the individuals s
system Of economics.

MONEY

The Russian ruble is so worthless that the So
Wet will print 100000 00O-ruble banknotes, worth
about $25 apiece If the ruble were at it's original
or par value, in foreign exchange, one OF these
banknotes would be worth $51,500,O0O.
The plight of the ruble will be appreciated in
Brazil, where the unit Of money is the rel. When
exchange is normal, 1000 reis are worth about 25
cents in American money. 1t takes hundreds of
reis to pay carfare or buy glass Of beer in Bra
zil. And this is not in deprecated money. 1t is
the regular thing.
Refs, however, need not tremble in their boots,
for one Of them still is worth about 500 rubles

WEALTH

( Do you find it hard to save? Solution is simple.
You have noticed that, when you owe bill, some
how you manage to pay it.
Why not consider yourself in debt to the indi-
vidual you will be 20 years from now, and make
regular payments into savings account, gradl-
ally clearing the debt? Buying home on the
installment plan is a good way
Jim Hill, the railroad king, got rich by borrow
ing. He used to say that he never had dollar of
his own, was always in debt. Maybe he didn't
have the cash, but he was steadily accommodating
wealth.

Gloom Chasers
MORE coA: MINED.

Soft coal production is gradually in.
creasing, now is close to 4, 800 900 tons
a week, or about 60 per cent as big as
a year ago. Plenty of coal to be had
by buyers, but mostly the expensive
grades ..
Some miners reason like this: "We
might as well be idle several moro
months and then have steady work
to build up coal reserves to normal.
as drag along steadily at few days
a week. In the long run. just 50
much coal has to be mined"
Many striking anthracite miners are
vacationing in the "Old Country"
STEEL MILLS BUSY.
Steel industry continues turning out
three times as much tonnage as last
July, when production hit bottom and
i)started climbing. The general indus
try is running 70 per cent capacity.
Iron mining operations are increasing
in Lake Superior district.
Average selling price, of leading
steel products has advanced $3.50 a
ton since March 1. The mills claim
this is largely due to necessity of u.s.
ing high-priced coal instead Of Con-
nellsville supply, shut off by strike.
Steel exports mounting. The big
buying has shifted from Japan to
South America.
WHEAT EXPORT SLUMP.
Wheat exports are fluctuating from
half to wo-thirds less than year
ago. though averaging about the same
as corresponding time of 1920.
Corn exports averaging nearly
third more than year ago.
WALL STREET
About $1,5GO,000,CO3 now is tied up
in Wall Street brokers' loans. It's
about the same amount as in October,
1919, when speculation was nearing
it's height.
Public utilities, so far this year,
have sold about s21Oco0,00O of bonds
and notes.
MONEYS TRAVELS.
The country's total bank clearings
now are, roughly, a sixth bigger than
year ago, an eighth less than two
years ago, and averaging higher than
during corresponding weeks of the
1919 BOOM IS.
BIG COTTON EXPORTS.
Exports of cotton, in week ended
May y, totaled 11l,2S3 bales, against
1896 bales in corresponding weekaa
year ago and 1G1,S25 two years ago.

HER POCKETBOOK

IF YOU remember back 80 years, you recall that
very few women were employed in business ex-
cent in such places as 'drygoods stores, restau-
rants schools, hospitals, theatricals and small
town postoffces.
Today there is hardly business you can walk
into without finding women on the payroll and
often in charge.
It makes you WONDER sometimes, chow far the
thing will go'-and it, at some future date, the
woman not on the payroll of some business organ
ization will be the exception.
The possibility now looms, that the flood OF
women into business has reached it's high-water
mark. This unique turn Of events is suggested by
a survey made by Henry D. Sayer, industrial COM
missioner of New York state. Economists say
that "York State" business conditions are usual
ly typical Of the national situation ~
Savers report is that women gainfuly employ
ed in New York state number ], 1,135,948, or about
a ninth Of the total population.
It's big figure, but only 151,560 more women
than learned their own living" 10 years ago.
The increase barely has kept pace with gain in
population On the basis Of population, the per-
centage of New York women gainfully employed
has stood still during the last decade.
Surprising occupations are selected by many Of
the New York women.
They are employed as undertakers, teamsters,
horse DOCTORS aeronauts, constabes, architects,
chemists cergymen, dentists lawyers, inventors
and mechanical and electrical engineers.
The list continues at great length. Its variety
suggests thatWonlen could duplicate every bust
ness achievement by man. 1t is all a matter Of
training and environment.
That is natural. Some Of the wisest and most
powerful rulers of history have been women -
notably Elizabeth of England, Queen Victoria,
Catharine of Russia, Isabella of Spain, who pawn
ed her jewels to finance Columbus, and the inven-
tor Of the silk intustry-wife of Huang-Ti, Chi
nese emperor.
The economic independence of women is an ex.
ceptionally good thing, from most viewpoints.
The goal Of every woman, however, should be
homemaking and Motherhood Nature generally
takes care Of that and makes arguments, for-and-
against. superf1uous
Whether the tide has turned and women are
gravitating to the home instead Of business, re-
mains to be seen. It would, however, be nat
ural accompaniment of the present gradual re-
birth Of old-fashioned home life.
