TALKING 1T OVER

The Belgian debt commission de-
clares that Belgium will honor all
lust obligations. While there is a
chance to differ respecting what
may and what may not be Just
the preliminary addresses at the
meeting in Washington seem 10
warrant the conclusion that agree
ment will soon be had respecting It.
Belgium's spokesman described
the difficulties which his govern
ment had encountered in its eff
forts to get upon its feet following
the disasters of the war. citing these
as causes for the long delay. TINS
amicable presentation Of Belgium
side drew from Secretary Mellon a
svmpathetic and sensible reply in
which he emphasized: Friends ano
allies we have been and will re-
main"
He made 1t plain that this coun-
try does not wish Belgium to I'M
dertake that Of which she Is In
capable: that settlement OF this
debt means far more than the dol
lars involved, that every possible
consideration should be given 10
Belgium's difficulties.
Belgium yet needs our financial
aid: recognition Of her reasonable
obligations Is essential to that con-
hdence on which financial relations
may successfully continue. All the
parties to the controversy ought by
this time to appreciate this and 1t
is gratifying to learn that the mood
exhibited at the opening session
holds promise Of fair, even gener-
Gus terms being secured.

HELP FOR NERVOUS WOMEN

1t has often been said that only
woman can understand what nervous
women endure. Most cases of nery-
BUSINESS, sleeplessness, mental de-
preston, headaches, backache, fret
ting and worrying have their origin
in some feminine ailment that will
readily yield to Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. 1t is a simple
remedy made from roots and herbs,
which for over forty years has been
restoring women Of America to
health and strength. Merit alone
could have stood such a test.

WILL ELIMINATION CONTINUE?

In Massachusetts, for the month Of
July 51S licenses and registrations
were cancelled on account Of drunk
enness. and there is abroad an i'm
preston that the authorities up that
way are not excessively strict in
such matters.
At that rate, If cancellations re-
main in force, the process Of
elimination after a lapse Of time
ought to clean up the highways
pretty effectively, but will those
cancellations remain in force, or will
Bills friends cajole, threaten and
pull until "Bilr is reinstated?

OUR OWN
BY DOUGLAS MALLocH


WYE ARE so careful Of our speech
w When strangers listen, lest we
say
Some word unkind. Our lips we
teach
To guard themselves by night and
day,
For fear some careless. thoughtIess
word
May by the passing throng be heard
But with our ownl-wife, brother,
friend,
Or husband, sister, mother, sire
Words that old friendship may offend,
That burn the heart of love like
fire,
we sow like thistles everywhere,
And kill life's roses with the tare.
Yet how important words of ours
To those who love us!-evry
phrase
Makes life's hard highway bloom with
flowers
Or drifts the snow across their
ways;
We make their summer, make their
spring,
Their winter, autumn-ev'rything
The passing stranger may not hear.
Or stranger hearing may not heed,
But when your word cuts some one
near
For endless days some heart may
bleed
How many know the torture of
The knife that stabs, in hands they
love.
Love gives no license, friendship right,
To hurt because they love us so.
But greater duty, more delight.
To guard from wounds the ones we
know
Kind not to travellers alone,
But in our house, and to our own.

Fancy, for instance the handsome

white this season testifes TO the i'm
portance of this vogue. Often the all

In the case of the model illustrated,
through an embroidered border effect.
The newer white sweaters are knit

or of rayon, some of mohair with

either the V-neckline. as this picture
defines, or the high turtle neck. The
touch of embroidery" which adds SO
much to appearance, is perhaps ex-
pressed in striking monogram effect,
or what is the last word In fashion. a
pocket or two embellished in stitchery
Of contrasting color.
The vogue for long knit .topcoats has
brought with 1t the fashion of wearing
a lightweight slip-on underneath In

Fathers Debt Upsets
Daughters Romance

Manila.-Rufina Aldales, sixteen
years old, and Candida Binas, seven
teen, recently approached the justice
of the peace of Albany to be married.
The ceremony was about to start when
opposition arose from an entirely I'M
expected quarter.
,Patricio Mirafor, thirty-seven years
old, asserted that he had prior right
to the girls hand, her father being IN
debted to him in the sum of 70 pesos
The father admitted the debt and
declared that he was willing to settle
it. He therefore proposed that Patri-
clio take his other daughter, Rufina's
elder sister, whom Patricio was willing
enough to accept. Then another diff
Guilty arose. The elder sister, who was
to be traded, refused her fathers
wishes ON the ground that she had
been previously engaged to marry a
Chinese merchant.
The father is still trying to persuade
his elder daughter to break her en-
gagement with the Chinese fiance in
order to settle his debt.
