MARY PlCkFORD AT LIBERTY TONIGHT

Frances Marion's original story, "The Love Light in which Mary Pickford will be seen at the Liberty Theater tonight, is not cnly q unique departure in the line of story for the Worlds Sweetheart" but a gripping drama of unusual interest. Briefly the story is as follows:
 Angela Carlotti presides over the house of her two orphaned brothers, Antonio and Mario, in little fishing village bordering on the Mediterran- can in Northern Italy Antonio and Mario spend their days fishing off the lighthouse, Angela caring for the little stone house, the 'barnyards and gardens They are all young, and boy-like, the brothers slip as much of the work as possible upon the ap- parently tireless shoulders of Angela. They have only to remark that cer- tain job is too hard for any woman and Angela flies at 1t and labors along while they recline in the shade, audibly maryeling at her strength and cleyerness.
 |. Angela Is being courted by Giocan- nj Novella. who is held in contempt by the fisher folk because instead of handling the nets and row boOats, he raises flwers for the perfume mar ket of Genoa. In time Antonio joins the army of his country and a lsttle later Mario also enlists. Giovanni lis still at home and Angela voices her contempt at his apparent lack of patriotism: this decides for Gio- vanni that he should go, and he re- turns blinded, and then as pretty story as ever was told is unfolded. The production is on for two nights.

EASY MARKS

An interesting sidelight on the
German currency situation is af-
forded by the COblenZ correspond
ent, who cables that our American
soldiers of the Rhine occupational
force were much depressed by the
passage Of the Senate resolution
urging the return of our troops
| from Europe, now followed by the
Presidents order to return. With
their incomes of 100000 marks
and upward month our private
soldiers have been able to rate
themselves technically as million
aires. Prices have risen enorm-
ously, of course, but they have not
| been able to keep pace with the
decrease in the value of the mark.
: The purchasing power of our SOL
| diers' pay has been far greater
than it would be at home. 1t is to
! be feared that, after the character
istic fashion of the newly rich,'
our boys abroad have been spend
ers rather than savers. This is
quite understandable They are
young. in a foreign land, without
immediate need for conserving
their resources and, unlike their
civilian compatroits who have
lately been brought home in large
numbers by a kindly paternalist
government, they cannot possibly
be stranded on an alien shore, for
their passage back is assured.
Our little army of stranded citi-
zens had an anxious time until Of
| fetal aid was extended. But our
soldiers with their pockets full of
German marks need take no
thought for the morrow.
The complacency with which
German statesmen continue to re-
gard the muddling of their curren-
cy ssytem is extraordinary. 1t is
inconceivable that they will not
! soon take some action to remedy
the situation.' Our neighbor Mex
leo showed far more courage when
her paper money became worth
less after SO many years of steady
depreciation. Every time Mexico
! had revolution a new brand Of
cheap money was put in circula-
ton. There came to the Maderista,
Villista and Carranzista currency.
AS in Germany today, the people
fastened to get rid of the poor
money which so rapidly depreci-
ated or indeed might become of no
value at all with change of gov
eminent. The Los Angeles Times
tells of an American woman at
Monterey who had to pay $50 in
Villista currency for can of bak-
ing powder. When Mexico tardily
decided to go in for currency re-
form she made clean sweep Of
the old paper money. 1t was de-
creed. that only gold and silver

THE LOST CAUSE

The state executive of Maryland
has issued proclamation demand
ing the freedom Of his state from
federal interference. A heavy in"
dictment is gathered against Wash
ington, 1t is busying itself with
the personal affairs of citizens Of
Maryland; it is trying to run their
morals; every day it is meddling
more and more with their business.
State government is giving the
right of way to the federal one.
Soon the state government will be
Il skeleton affair. Maryland us no
way all over and the whole trend
is for more and more federal Gin
terference.' Whose fault is it?
The individual state, the collective
state or machine at Washington
that is boring from within and
without? If we could reach a de-
cision on this there would be hope
for Maryland and other states SIM
ilarly situated. 1t may too late for
the states to mend their ways.
What bureaucratic Washington has
gained it intends to hold and add
to. AS for the single state, it
seems willing too often to pass the
buck to Washington 50 that when
a man like Governor Richie of the
historic Southern state declares
himself it is, like the dropping Of
water on parched earth.-Denver

houses while vines grew in the

"GOOD READING"

Only 6863 new books published last year in Amer
lea You wonder why the "only" 1t lot. But in
1921 the total 1870.
Figures along this line much to any trying to
watch the activity of the American brain it's alternating
cycles of stimulation and decay.
falingof of third in the number of books pub
shed however, doesn't necessarily reveal the amount of
reading being done by the public. For instance 100
books selling average of 1000 copies each total
100000 COPIES do not much good book selling
100000 copies.
The public unquestionably read books last year
than the before That might not show in the total
number of volumes Sold for at least five times many
pie borrow books as buy copies.
The drop in the number of books issued last
does that publishers selecting manuscripts
carefully before putting their and sales organizations

the bother of wadng through type. On the average,

BUSINESS CREDIT

Credit, as used in business, is
the most generous and potent OF
all economic utilities in strength
ening the commercial power and
promoting the prosperity of indi-
viduals. 1t enters into almos:
every continuous transaction OF
business and industrial life. The
workman, the clerk, the cmploye,
paid at the end of the week day or
month, extends credit to his EN-
ployer from the time he begins
work until he is paid.
The root Of the word credit is in
the Latin word "credo," which
means to give as Il loan. to trust,
to believe. The English word
means all of these things, to give
as loan, to trust in repa yment,
and to believe in the intent of the
borrower to repay. In banks it
uses checks, drafts, etc, in place
of money to the extent of $40 for
every 81 in currency used.
Confidence is behind all credit.
Trustfulness beyond that reposed
in Caesars wife is in evidence
every hour of the day where bust
ness is transacted, from the coun-
try store to the great banks on La
Sale Street. How generous the
confidence, how firm the trust, how
strong the belief in credit transac-
lions, may be grasped by NOM
ent's thought about the evidence OF
bankrup in New York the other
day, who testified that his total as
sets were only $4,000, as against
Indebtedness Of $1S,000,0O0.
The inherent and all but univer-
sal generosity Of business is dem
onstrated by the ease with which
credit may be secured everywhere.
Indeed a man must show himself
to be utterly unworthy of conf
dene time and time again before
his dishonesty becomes so we'll
known that he is that most aban-
doned creatures, man without
credit anywhere.
Men, who give evidence of integ
rity, industry and capacity for
business, whose reputation is
good, who have regular employ
ment, find no difficulty in getting
credit for clothing, food and house
hold supplies. Even when un-
known, if respectfully. dressed,
hotels extend shelter and meals
without hesitation. Facts like
these are the strongest evidence
of the general prevalence of hon
esty among the people. 1t is pro-
fitable thus to extend credit in
business, else it would not be done.
The percentage of dishonest retail
buyers must be small indeed.
Credit is so valuable it enables
a man so largely to increase his
business and his profits, it opens
to him SO many opportunities for
honest gain, that none but a fool
or crook would voluntarily incur
credit obligations he could not
hope to meet. Nor will any pru-
Guent man risk impairment OF
credit by failure to meet Obliga-
tons when they fall due. There
are many kinds of debtors to whom
credit has been given. Some are
prompt, some slow, some uncer-
tain. A reputation for promptness
in meeting bills or notes is fine
asset. Neglect to meet obligations
when due is ineXcusable without
satisfactory explanations to the
lender or the dealer. 1t never
hurts young business mans
credit to pay bills or notes before
they fall due.-Chicago Journal of
Commerce.
