Payments in Small Amounts.
''If such q commission should be an
pointed and should decide what Ger
many can pay and will pay, the shock
to our commercial and financial organi-
zation could be somewhat reduced by
having payments begin in small
amounts and gradually increase over
period OF several years, then gradually
decrease again. so that the commerce
OF theWorld and the financial machinery
involved in international trade could
adjust itself to the changes.
Ihe problem is very complex" con-
tinues Mr.. Ba BISON, but it does not ap-
pear hopeless. Individually we can all
insist that 1t be handled by a board of
commissioners, who are Christian bust
ness men-who approach it with the
idea of coming to the solution that will
be best for the world as whole. In the
interest OF future peace we should pro-
test loudly against any proposals Of

interested primarily in getting as much
as they can for themselves rega rdless

the good Of the world. This applies to
France as well as to Germany. to Eng
land well as to France. and to the
United States most of all. From those

statistics show that the world war

powers had increased so much faster

Homes and Citizenship

HUNDREDS of thousands of new homes have
IL been built in the United States during the past
year. Owning a home tends strongly to produce
better citizenship, both in children and in adults.
The house owner has a more direct interest than
has the flat renter in efficient and economical gov.

hood and his city, since anything that improves
the community's social or physical condition in
creases the value of the home owners property and
makes his home a better place to live
1t used to be argued that property owners paid
all the taxes and that renters escaped. The fallacy
of that view is now we'll understood. Indeed, rap
idly as taxes have gone up in the last few years,
the rents of flats and apartments have COMO up
still faster. The landlord has passed his tax bur-
den and more-on to his tenants.

In 1914 only 1.320,2o9 gross tons of

associated charity work but was a member of the
national conference of social work as well.
With the cooperation of the county commission.
crs, the Red Cross office has offered real social
service to the community, with the idea of a central
clearing house always in mind. In every city of
any size, where there is more than one organization
giving relief, it has been found necessary to estab-
lish a confidential exchange where a list of all
cases helped by any organization is kept and the
name of the organization giving the help. 1t was
in order to avoid duplication of relief that the Red
Cross has tried to secure the cooperation of other
organizatins.
Through the division offices, tho local office was
able to communicate with $500 different chapters
besides all of the charity organization societies in
every city where such organization existed. To one,
who has not done social work, it is difficult to
comprehend the desirability of communication with
outside agencies, but this is quite essential for pur-
poses of investigation.
Many Of the people Of Casper, however, have
ben unwilling to be convinced that the giving of
charity is n business and have felt that all social
work consists of giving relief systematically

The woman nodded her head with
determined affirmation.
Just that. There are exactly two
types of the sex when 1t to
marrying them. or course there are
fat ones and lear ones, tall and short
men, cave men and kind men, young
and old, wldowers, bachelors, good

sorted into two piles when It comes
to choosing them for husbands"
