Something TO Think About

Blu F. A. UALkER

| capitalist, the quibbler and scientist
must be weighed and apportioned
with punctilious regularity, so that in
the morning we may sip our coffee
with customary complacency.
To step upon the scale ourselves is
unthinkable, but to insist that others
shall do so Is a duteous obligation
which must be discharged without
failure.
Our manicured hand must not touch
the calloused palm of the blacksmith
our daughters must not marry poor
men, nor must we be censured for
classifying our hearts. We are the
elect
In any movement for the public
veal, we prefer to pull alone rather
than with the commonalty.
Our ideas are so bound up with the
ono master-thought of self, we cannot
think of cooperating with our neigh
bors; it is not at all agreeable to our
uncharitable souls.
To this prevalent selfshness of ours
may be assigned the present wretched
condition of the world.
There is no clearly defined incIina-
ton TO pull together; no charitable,
nobly planned purpose to join hands
in friendliness, and step out from
semi-darkness into the light of heaven
atiame with saving faith.

To Investigate the Cost of Sugar Beets

sugar prices prevailing early in the
year were attributaI to the tariff
duties.
The new investigation will go a step
further than the one already in prog
ress, in that it proposes to deIye to
the very beginning of sugar production.
The inquiry announced calls for a
survey of the cost of producing beets
in about thirty sugar areas in Michi-
gan, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah and
California.
Records will be taken from approx.
imately two thousand farms, or about
10 per cent of the total production O.
the thirty districts.
This amount, the commission said.
should represent about 10 per cent Of
all sugar beets produced in the United
States.
The commission will send out two
crews comprising twelve Or fourteen
men who are trained in agricultural
industries. Among them will be sew
eral from the Department of AgrlcuI-
ture, loaned for the purpose Of the

You wait. Others crowd about the
window. Finally you. too, hang up
your hat and coat and sit down to look
at a picture book on the reading table
in the lobby. II you glance up sud

~ ECRETARY of Commerce HOov-
err fears that our trade with
1 Europe is suffering from the
newly manifested intense inter-
est of American manufacturers in ex-
banding business with South America
and Asia.
The secretary's view is set forth in
Commerce Reports, published by the
Department of Commerce. 1t winds
up by throwing out familiar hint
that American farmers and other
producers of exports to Europe should
interest themselves in the conditions
affecting Europe's capacity TO import.
Europe remains our greatest mar
ket. Government officials in close
touch with export activities feel that
too much attention has been given to
the promotion of American foreign
trade with South America and Asiatic
countries to the detriment of our
trade with Europe.
"The emphasis placed on exports to
non European fields, which is out of
proportion to the actual volume of
business done there, can. however. be

of the relief administration.

port, "a little under a million tons of

LOCKS ON DOORS A PUZZLE
Architects Wonder Why People Insist
on Having Locks Through
out the House.

1t has long been a question with
architects why people should have
doors throughout the house so COM
pletely equipped with locks. Why.
for example, should all the closet and
bedroom doors have locks? Did you
ever lock your bedroom door? Prob
ably not. 1t may be desirable to PIT
locks on closet doors. Do not put a
lock on door just because II is a
door. Perhaps. after all, you will
never lock it. At any event, a bolt
or thumb turn will serve all the
purposes of lock and you will not
have key to look after.
However, it should be said that a
mortised latch will usually cost more
than a bit key lock. OF course. If you
have a small boy in the house you
will want a lock on the pantry door.
Some people have thought it desirable
to have one closet In the house
equipped with a good cylinder lock.
