AUS Well

Ting GEORGE. you read, has reeoy-
IN cred from his recent attack Of influ-
enza and has had his first walk in the
Buckingham Palace grounds.
So all is well in England. Business goes
merrily on, something il wouldn't have
done had his illness proved very serious,
or fatal.
England's king may be vastly less im-
portant than our president, yet we are
quicker to recover from the loss of our
royalty than England is.
When Great Britain goes in mourning 1t
does so in earnest and everybody feels it.
Even during Georges slight illness Lon
don business especially in the catering and
clothing lines, went into noticeable
slump.

Real Tra.aedu

MOUTH is not always as resilient rs 1t
i has been pictured. Youth has trag-
edies all its own that those of us of
maturer years cannot feel.
A l4-year-old boy in Cincinnati shot and
killed himself because his mothers death
had left him with the responsibility of
homework and the care Of his two younger
brothers.
Denied the opportunity to play with
other boys, he collected his books and toys
in pile, burned them and then ended his
own life
Grown men and women have killed
themselves because of lost money and lost
love. Youth denied play is greater trag-
edy than either.

famine grows steadily worse.
According to a report submitted tS,2aie
New York legislature by Governor Smith,
there is no immediate relief in sight. What
construction is under way brings to the
class of people most seriously affected no
benefits whatever
Establishment of public credits has been
suggested as the best solution-something
that would bring interest charges down to
per cent.
One reason for high rents-and short
age of reasonably-priced houses is the
fact that commercial organizations now
have to pay about per cent for money in
vested in housing. At least, that is the re-
port of the bureau of housing of New
York's department of architecture.
