In his effort to secure top hOnOrG

Friedman, Curley has put q lien on
the championship by depositing q
certified check for $4,000 with the
New York State Athletic Commits

Leonard will have to make a state
ment regarding his intentions as

days. If the champion should fail
to come to time the plans OF the
Curley-F combine call for
the grabbing of the title by default

MOSES AND THE COURT

There is an old saying that when
an Investigator goes out to investigate
things, he usually finds what he was
looking for, if his desire be sufficiently
keen and his patience sufficiently en-
during. This seems to apply to United
States Senator Moses, of New Hamp-
shire, who has been doing his best to
discredit the proposal for the United
States to participate in the world
court. 1t appears that Senator Moses
went to Europe to find some condi-
tons that might be used in bolstering
his contention, and, to hear him, he To-
Gated them in large chunks. On his
return he declared that he found Eu-
rope "hotbed of hatred,' with Amer
lea the special object Of her dislike
81 was prOpagandaed wherever l
went" said he, and added that "Eu-
rope is a foul pool of politics."
Senator Moses appears to have an
ambition to contest with Senator Hi
ram johnson the championship in OPP
position to the world court or any
thing that might even suggest that the
United States be bit more elastic in
its isolation policy. He could see moth
ing good in Europe from this distance,
and found even less during his per-
sonal Investigations of the situation.
His mind was doubtless firmly made
up before he left Americas shores He
might have spared himself the expense
and trouble of the trip by staying at
home and nursing his wrath "to keep
it warm But having gone over ex-
pecting to find hate almost as acute
as the one he took along, naturally he
would have been keenly disappointed
if he had failed to locate it.

good, and the distribution of some of
it would be extremely beneficial"
Our boarding of gold has much the
same effect as the boarding of capt.
tai instead of investing it Capital
at work is capital earning an incre-
ment; capital boarded is stagnant
capital, contributing nothing to
profit.
Thus the reported excess Of i'm
ports over exports is of good omen,
for it leads to a lively interchange of
commodities which is the backbone
of commerce and the permanent
foundation for international produc-
ton. Just as a merchant cannot con-
tinue to sell to man who has no
income, so nation cannot continue
to sell to other nations which enjoy
no reciprocal benefit. We are ex-
porting all we have to export, and
that in itself is sufficient cause for
satisfaction regardless of compare
tive figures.

DETROIT HALTS RECKLESSNESS

i Nearly every city in the country is
seriously disturbed over the reckless
ness Of its motorists. Birmingham is
heavy sufferer from this evil, and
one reason for the local situation is
the comparatively mild punishments
inflicted The other day in a De-
troit court twelve children occupied
seats in the jury box. They had been
crippled in traffic accidents, and fur
nished d strong argument for the
prosecution. Twenty-Five violators of
the traffic laws were sentenced to Jail.
Licenses we've withdrawn from all the
!. offenders for year. That is the law
/, in Detroit, and it is said to have great
ly reduced the offenses. 1t is one of
the most effective methods of correct
I ing this evil, which appears to be
: steadily increasing. If the motor en-
= thusiast who finds it hard to resist the
Temptation to speed or disregard the
traffic ordinances knew he would be
5 deprived of the use of his car for a
year as the penalty of his disregard,
. he would be far more careful of the
public rights. Under such a method
distinct Improvement would soon be
noted.

ENCOURAGING TO COMMERCE

There has been considerable appre
hension expressed by the so-called
unfavorable trade balance that has
arisen because our imports recently
have been greater than our exports
Instead of being a cause for alarm
this is really cause for optimism
for we cannot continue to hold the
worlds gold and enjoy also the
worlds trade. There must be an out
ward flow of our gold in order that
there may be a revival of normal
commerce. The excess of imports
over exports would be but temporary,
but it will stimulate industrial and
productive activity abroad, and thus
cause a demand for both finished and
raw materials from America.
AS to this flow of gold, Mr.. Walter
B. Brown, financial expert, says:
Assuming that we again reach the
point where gold must be exported, it
will mean that the exchanges as to
the nations involved will have reached
par. That is contamination devoutly
to be wished, for it will mean a nor
NAL flow of trade in both directions.
The release of some of our surplus
gold will have the effect of stabilizing
foreign currencies. In other words,

JOHN MS
Dreams of Having Married the
Nron.r Man

1t is an unmistaken indication
of tickle disposition when a
woman dreams of having married
the wrong man. 1t does not mat
ter particularly whether this
vision comes to a single girl or to
married woman. 1t uncovers a
flaw in her character which she
must strive to overcome and which
probably would never be brought
to her attention with sufficient
force We're it not for such dreams.
Women who have such dreams
must probe their own minds and
lust so soon as they find that lack
of stability which comes under the
mead of fickleness, they must be-
gin the fight against this failing.
Such battle is made apparent
iy easy by a dream of this charac-
ter because IL most often occurs
either at the time when a fleet
ing infatuation seems to draw the
dreamer away from the more
legitimate object of her affections.
or else the vision foreshadows
such a regrettable change of
mind. Some of these dreams are
accompanied by incidents contain
ing serious warning that unless
the dreamer brushes away the
temptations about to be thrown in
her path, she will exchange happf-
ness for misery. But in order to
be able to tell you whether the
case is as serious as all this, you
must first acQuaint me with all
the details of your dream.

TENNESSEE COMPANY SCHOOLS

4 There is no factor more conducive
to industrial harmony than the well
fare work, as it is called, which is car
2ried on by some companies among
their employees. This work in general
embraces three fields-homes, health
: and education. Progress in all these
: directions is exemplified by the Ten

more strikingly than in education. The
recent exhibition at the company's
schools at Bayview, Edgewater, Fair
=field, Westfield and Ensley offer elo-
=iquent testimony to the quality of the
Construction in these schools and to the
s vision with which they are endowed

pany for its expenditures and concern.
Indeed, homes and health are part of
their education, for the girls are in
structed in the various domestic arts,
the boys along such lines as will later
prove of value in earning a livelihood,
while both boys and girls are given
physical examinations and taught how
to correct defects and to keep their
health. Verify, this next generation,
so we'll grounded in the fundamentals
of health, will not tolerate those ever
present, yet preventable, sources of
disease with which their forebears
have so long struggled.
The company school has come to be
regarded as an indispensable adjunct
of the successful operation of any in
dustry. Those concerns that have not
yet found this out, or have not yet ap-
piled the knowledge to their own
plants, are the concerns that will lag
farthest behind. Satisfied, intelligent
employees, surrounded by the proper
opportunities for themselves and their
children, are an industrys most perma-
nent and powerful safeguards against
loss and inefficiency. Such welfare
work may partake of philanthropy, but
it is the most profitable policy that
may be adopted by any industry How
ever, it requires some vision to per
ceive this, and for that reason those
concerns that have led in developing
this field deserve great credit.
