i. S. PACIFIC MOVES
Expert Says London Watches
Our Policy for Own
Guidance.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WILLIAMSTO Mass. August
5.-Great Britain is watching with
breathless interest the policy pursued
by the United States in the Pacific.
Arnold ]. Toynbee. professor of his
tory in London University. said at an
Institute of Politics conference here
today.
The British dominions bordering on
the Pacific and Indian Oceans are
likely to follow the lead of this coun-
try in the creation OF a hostile or
friendly atmosphere in that part of
the world, he said.
Prof. Toynbee spoke of the problem
of contact between the civilized
Oriental peoples. such as the Indians.
Chinese and Japanese, and the new
peoples of European origin overseas,
"a problem produced either by the
actual mingling of European and
Oriental populations in a new coun-
try, such as Natal or California, or
by the imminent possibility of such
mingling, as in Australia
Sees Britain Fitted for Task.
I'm my personal belief" he con-
tinued, lone of the great potential
values of the British commonwealth
lies in the fact that it includes great
peoples of both classes, and that it
therefore offers a framework within
which a peaceful solution of the prob
lem of contact between them may
conceivably be worked out.
But the three -cornered relationship
between, say, the British, the Indian
and South African governments over
the question of Indian immigration
into South Africa is obviously ex-
tremely difficult and success or failure
in solving this and kindred problems
may we'll be decided by almost i'm
ponderable changes in the general in
ternational atmosphere in the Pacific
and Indian Oceans
From our point of view it is all
important that racial and cultural
animosities should be clamped down,
and that political and social align
ments should be prevented from fol-
! lowing racial and cultural lines. But
we, living off the coasts of Europe,
| do not possess the initiative in the
| Indian Ocean and the Pacific. There
| the United States and the British do
i minions. more and more following
your lead in this matter, are going to
determine whether the atmosphere
shall be sultry and charged with cleo
| tricity or whether it shall be clear
and serene"

TABLE TALKS
Buying a Home
By ALICE IRWIN

ing a first mortgage of $1,000 and pay
ing the remaining $1,000, Just like
you pay into Christmas savings
club" This $1,000 she paid off in
three years, as she could use for it
the money formerly paid for rent. Then
there remained only $50 interest to
pay yearly and about $40 taxes.
The second $1,000, the first mort
gage, WAS paid off in another four
years; at the end of ~ years of hard
labor, which was only lightened by
the end she had in view. the laundress
had full ownership of her home. Her
$500 home was now worth $4,000.
But-her little daughter had grown
up into a pretty, attractive high school
girl, and her mother wanted above all
things TO give her home to which she
would be proud to bring her friends.
So she sold her little house for $500,
bought a better house in a better
neighborhood for S6500-and the hap
piest day of her life came when she
moved into it.
There is still a small amount owed
on this house, but as it is in the form
of a first mortgage and the interest
payments are not difficult TO meet, it
will probably not be hard to carry.
This is the story Of one home pur-
chased under the most difficult con-
ditions; perhaps it will encourage
some of us to realize what we can at
tain il our desire is great enough.

Meditations Of
a Wife
We Women.
By Helen Rowland

We Women.
The kind of motion picture play
that a woman loves best Is the ona
that makes her "feel sorry for her
SELF"
When the wings of love are broken,
there is no use trying "first aid :" the
most human and merciful thing to do
is to put it out Of its misery, quickly,
quietly and permanently.
Before marriage, looking for q hus-
band is a sporting proposition-after
marriage, it is just waiting game.
Sometimes, a new wife succeeds in
reforming" her husband so completely
that his friends are suspicious Of him.
Most men are willing to admit that
they owe their wives a lot-even
though they may regard it in the light
Of the French national debt.
Apparently, the bright, enterprising,
modern young woman will never die
without an offer of marriage-even if
she has to make it herself.
Most men have a charge account
with their wives, in which they are
credited with a lot more wild and
wicked things as they ever dreamed of
doing.
A man usually has to be reminded Of
his birthday-but it takes all a wom-
ans philosophy. will-power and men
tai science to FORGET hers.
Love is what you MAKE it It can
be no higher than your ideals, no
stronger than your faith, no fairer
than your dreams and no sweeter than
your illusions.

Recently young couple wrote me a
letter about a budget in which they
asked this question: "Do you think it
advisable for US to buy a home when
We have only $500 TO pay down on it:
Or shall we wait until we have saved
S10O0?" The salary upon which they
are living is $50 a month. This
means that it would probably take at
least two years longer to save the sec
ond $500.
There are so many factors which
enter into the purchase of home that
it is difficult to answer this question
without much more information than
was given me in the letter in which
it came. In Los Angeles it is pos
sible to buy a four-room house with
an initial payment as low as $500. /
visited one which cost $500. While
the first payment was fixed at $3.50,
it might have been lowered to $500.
The remaining $4,000 was carried in
the form of monthly payments of $40.
1t is always wise TO make a thor
ough investigation of the costs Of ac-
quiring the right to move into house.
The transfer cost and the carrying
charges usually mean that one must
have considerably more Han $500 on
hand if the initial payment is $500.
I am loath to quote figures; every
time I do so someone says that cit
cannot be DONE" in spite Of the person
who says 'but / did it."
One of the most highly appreciated
homes that ] know about is owned by
a woman who has done day work as a
laundress to support herself and her
daughter. She started in IS years ago
when her earnings averaged 50 per
week. So determined was she that her
little girl should have a decent home
in a respectable neighborhood that she
persistently kept her living expenses
low enough to enable her to 90 to the
savings bank each Saturday night with
a deposit Of 81. 1t is useless to ask
how she did it; most. of us would think
that it could not be done. The fact re-
mains that she did it.
At the end Of five years. when the
savings account had reached the $500
mark, the laundress found a little
five-room house which she could buy
with an initial payment of $500, tax

low idea to bring a child into the
world with a heritage of bad blood. Or
course. he was strong for putting
things ship shape before his marriage.
So he decided to bring Daisy up TO
par"
Right there the trouble started.
Daisy is pink and plump, pretty AMI
popular. She was much amazed at
the idea that she needed to be brought
up TO par" And her family were
outraged. What on earth did lie
mean! He must be crazy.
Then Bert quite reasonably point
ed out that, though Daisy was ador-
able. her physical condition left much
to be desired. She was overweight
and rapidly becoming more so. She
was lazy. She stayed in bed too long
in the morning and rarely went to bed
before midnight. She ate everything
she pleased at any time she wished.
Moreover, what did she know Of the
physical history of the. family? Moth
