Recovering
(By Albert Appie)

Recovering
While Europe's politicians shadow
box for effect on their audience, Eu-
ropes people continue rebuilding the
damages of war.
The great old-fashioned institu-
ton, hard work, is getting back to
normal over there. In the long run,
that's what really counts. Belgium,
for instance, is producing four-fifths
as much pig iron as in 1913, a good
pre-war business year.
Watch Europe's industrial activity.
Her politicians never have agreed
and they never will.
1913
General Payott, French command
er at Cologne. boasts that France
and Belgium intend to run the Ger
man railroads on tie left bank of
the Rhine for at least twenty-five
years. This will interest observers
who believe that what France really
wants is to move her frontier to the
Rhine. 1t is, Of course, ridiculous
for any one to attempt to prophesy
volatile Europe's course for twenty
five years ahead.
The ultimate solution over there
can come only through the forma-
tion of a United States OF Europe.
Wait few centuries.
Rain Makers
Uncle Sans weather bureau puts
a bunk" label on the scheme for
causing rainfall by such methods as
sprinkling clouds with electrically
charged sand.
However, everything is "impossi-
BILE" when it's first attempted. The
rain-makers should continue their
nj, fS
they will at least blunder upon other
things just as valuable. Many of our
most important discoveries are made
by accident while trying to do some
thing else.
Some places in the Hawaiian
Islands have an average of 500
inches of rainfall a year, according
to the weather bureau. That's near
ly an inch and half a day.
In other parts of thI world, usu-
ally deserts, 1t practically never
rains. Too much rain one place, not
enough in another. Isn't that lite
for you, though-either a feast or
famine? Nature cunningly stages
by the law Of contrasts. The end
less cycle of hard times and prosper
ity seems to be according to natural
law. So, also, happiness and sorrow.
Exports

American exports totaled over 1886
million dollars, compared with about
~ millions in January, 1922.

Anton Street
This city has many streets that are
only a block long. Among them is
Anton street, which was cut through
from Inslee to Thomas street about
eight years ago. AS yet the street
has no improvements. 1t probably
will be several years before this
street has paving, curbing or side
walks. Anton street, from appear
ances at this time, will never be
more than a passageway between
Thomas and Inslee street, as there is
no room on either side of the street
for houses, due to the fact that
property owned by people in Thomas
and Inslee street extends the full
length Of the street and is already
built up with homes facing on
Thomas and Inslee streets.
Anton street is named after Anton
Massopust. Some years ago Garrett
son avenue was known as Anton
street, but when the name was
changed the new street was given
the name of Anton.

DECISION ON ARMY
cost ENDS TANGLE
Allied Dispute With U. S
Over Issue Ends Hard
Test of Diplomacy.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Settlement of the controversy over
Americas claim for the expenses OF
the army of occupation on the Rhine
ends one of the most disagreeable
chapters in American diplomacy. 1t
threatened not only to cause a real
breach between the United States and
the allied powers, but it probably has
done already more harm toward the
cause of international cooperation
than anything since the war.
No doubt of the legality of the
American claim for reimbursement
has ever existed. The armstlcc
agreements specifically provided tnat
expenses for the occupying armies
should be paid by Germany ana
should constitute prlor clalm
against Germany. The allies Collected
a certain sum, but didn't reimburse
America. The withdrawal of the
American forces from the Rhine was
as much due to the handling OF the
expense account as it was to the
complications in the Ruhr.
Expected United states Waiver.
Just why the United States should
have had to battle for months with
the diplomats of the European powers
on a claim that was plainly eStah-
lished has not been clear and prob
ably never will be. The impression
that America was so wealthy that 1t
could afford to ignore a relatively
small sum like S250.0Q0 .OOo., especially
at a time when many billions OF
reparations We're not being collected
by the allies. dominated the minds
of the Europeans and they confident

What is the secret of this mans
power? He was not, in his prime, an
imposing figure. He was no orator.
He had at first glance no brilliant
personality. Yet he held men of

Why? Because he has been from the

charm for him. Supreme ruler over
130.000,000 people he dressed and
lived as simply as when a poor man
