Germany, wiped out the whole Of
Germany's internal war debt, as we'll
as all other debts and bonds, public
and private.
On this reputation Of these debts
rests Germany's only possibility, un-
der the Dawes plan or any other, of
paying foreign rcparations. One of
the many plans under consideration
in France. to restore governmental
solvency there. too. is a more direct
method of accomplishing the same
purpose.
The scheme is frankly to repu.
date the internal war debt, by ex-
changing the interest bearing bonds
for longtime securities bearing no
interest. Of course, if France has
to confess that it can not pay its
war debts to it's own citizens, we
may wait in vain for some French
government which will dare propose
to tax them to pay the war debts
owed abroad.
But at least. France would be on
an equality with Germany, in start
ing the era of peace with clean
slate. The world may have to learn
that not only can no one win a
modern war, but no one can pay for
it.
Why Use Word ''lllegitimate"
New York has passed bill elimi-
mating the words "illegitimate chill
dren" from the statute books, and
substituting "children born out OF
wedlock."
Why eliminate the word "illegiti.
mate The right word to leave out
is "children." There is no such
thing as an illegitimate child.
But there are such things as il
legitimate parents, and the word is
none too harsh to apply to them.
Neither the ban nor the stigml
should be on the only innocent
parties.

Cities and Suburbs
Must Be in Harmony

High taxes and land values in the
cities have had the same effect on in
dustry that they have had on home
seekers, they have forced industries to
seek locations outside the city limits,
where taxes and land are cheaper, but
where the city's labor supply would be
available AS result, every big city
not only has it's residential suburbs,
but it's industrial suburbs Essential
ly they are part of the city, actually
they are not.
To bring all of these residential and
Industrial suburbs into some kind of
harmony with the city about which
they center is the task which regional
planning bodies in most of the big
cities of the country are undertaking.
The regional-plan idea recognizes the
homogeneity of the entire city area
not merely that part within the city
limits, but the suburbs and unorgan-
lied territory surrounding, and seeks
to upbuild and regulate all parts for
the benefit of the whole. Under re-
gional planning all local problems
would be worked out in accordance
with general plans and policies adopt
ed by the region as a whole. ZOning
bodies in the various communities
would act in accordance with a gen
eral zoning plan for the whole area.
Administrative bodies would act in ac-
cordance with a general program
worked out to avoid conflicts and dupli-
cations of effort.-Chicago Daily News

Organization Works for
"Better" American Homes

For the past three years several
hundred American communities have
organized and held better-hOmes dem
onstrations, under the guidance and
with the advice Of the national edu-
cational organization, Better Homes
in America. Plans are now under
way for extending this public service
to hundreds Of additional cOmmuni-
ties in 1925, as we'll as in those COM
munities which make better
homes" demonstration an annual af-
fair.
Herbert Hoover, secretary of COM
merce, is president of the organiza-
tion. The active direction of Better
Homes in America is in the hands of
DR.. James Ford, executive director.
Doctor Ford is a member Of the facul-
ty Of Harvard, having been granted a
special leave of absence in order to
undertake this educational work. Bet
ter Homes in America is supported
entirely by public and private gifts.
There are numerous excellent rea-
sons why every community in the
country should take advantage of the
existence of this organization and,
with it's help, demonstrate some or
all of the ways in which American
homes may be made better places to
live in. This means making the most
of the family income in the direction
Of comfort, economy and beauty. The
better-homes organization directs it's
principal efforts toward aiding the
American family of small or moderate
means.

Beauty as an Asset

The value of beauty as an asset to
any great country is apparent to any
one who has visited California and
the highly developed sections of Flor
ida-countries in which the pOssibili-
ties of soil and climate have been util
lied to an amazing degree for pur-
poses of ornamentation-the growing
of trees, plants and shrubbery which
are Indigenous to the region and which
give the charm of local color to the
countryside. Visitors to southern Cal
ifornia cannot fail to see and remem-
Der pleasantly the well-kept orange
groves, blooming rose clusters and
hanging dates which come and go,
mile after mile, along the country
roads, and the same may be said of
the beauty spots of Florida.-Atlanta

Because of the universal love and
esteem in which he is held by his peo-
pie and because of the glory and fame
he has brought to his state by his
poems and songs, Frank L. Stanton

by Gov. Clifford Walker.
While yet in life and while he
daily contributes his human interest
songs in the column which he has
conducted for nearly twoscore years

Walker declared, it would be fitting
time to bestow this honor on the Geor-

Mr.. Stanton would celebrate his sixty
eighth birthday anniversary on Febru-

proclamation appointing him poet
laureate Of Georgia so that the schools

DR.. Franklin H. Martin, chairman
of the board Of directors of the GorgaS
Memorial institute in Chicago believes
that from seven to twelve years can
be added to the average span of human
life, and the institute is now carrying
on a national health campaign with
this end in view. Not only is there
promise of longer life, but incidental
ly of the addition of innumerable mil
lions to the economic wealth of the
nation.
The institute, established in mem
Ory of the late Gen. William c.
Gorgas, will carry on his idea Of the
exercise of preventive measures and
the use of scientific medicine to check
disease and wipe out pestilences. BY
employing modern ideas of sanitation
and the principles of periodic examina-
tiOns, such as practiced in the United
States army during the World war, the
civilian population Of the country can
be placed on the same health basis as
the army, according to Doctor Martin

j. c. Davis Closes Out Great Adventure

Characterizing the wartime opera
ton Of railroads by the federal gov
ernment as a great adventure" James
G. Davis, director general of railroads
for the government, has brought that
adventure to a close with his final re-
port. The railroad administration
will remain in existence for short
time longer to defend some damage
suits and to collect interest and princi-
pal of loans made to the roads, but
it's work is practically ended.
Mr.. Davis shows that it cost the
government $1,674, 100000 to run the
railroads during the war. The final
settlement was correctly called "the
largest liquidation involving single
commercial interest ever undertaken"
The liabilities have practically all been
paid without. litigation in any case,
and Mr.. Davis proudly calls attention
to the fact that by boiling down the
damage claims of the railroads and
offsetting them they were reduced to

Every time a "32. " "24." as" "7S"

cheer and laugh in recognition OF
brain effort.
One of his hearers was reminded of
the old story, originating on the Board
of Trade in Chicago many years ago.
There was a somewhat famous statls-
ttcian in those days who was a recog-
nized authority on all matters per-
tanning to yield of crops, visible sup
ply, stocks in elevators and on storage
elsewhere-in fact, his memory was so
wonderful that he seemed able to

yielded 5l6, ,722 900 bushels" or figures
of like numerals. Last year We
raised 46.272.71s bushels of oats"
Finally some one asked him how 1t
was that he had such a wonderful
memory.
"Oh, I just guess at it," he an
SWered. No one knows any better,
so why not make them sit up and
wonder?"
This is not an insinuation that Gen.
Lord was doing the same thing, by
any means.
Following his college days, Gen.
Lord kept a personal budget and has
maintained the practice ever since. AS
he smokes very good cigars, he must
be in the habit of making many en-
tries of "25c." He probably forces a
balance occasionally also, for he is a
married man.
