JUGGLING ITALIAN DEBT PLAN

It begins to look as though the
Democrats in the Senate and House
hope for a get-to-gether with enough
insurgent Republicans to defeat the
plan for the Italian debt settlement
in the Senate. 1t found somewhat
hard going in the House.
They declare this plan is too favor
able to Italy, cancelling in effect 1914
per cent of the actual debt; that
there is no occasion after all we've
done to grant such a reduction, that
to do so will strengthen the grip
Mussolini has on Italy's throat, that
if we will take the tariff off Italy's
products she will be able to settle
on a percentage much better for US,
that few benef1ciaries of the
protective tariff in this country,
Mussolini, and our money lenders,
are the only ones that would really
profit under the proposed plan.
This is ample for the oratorical
powers of Reed Of Missouri. for Hull
of Tennessee. 1t will be their en-
deavor to make out of this political
capital for dissemination through the
pages of the Congressional Record.
1t will hardly replenish Uncle Sans
Golfers if their opposition prevails.

THE WASHINGTON WHO STILL
LIVES

A silly slur respecting George
Washington's habits, his attitude
toward temperance and religion,
served to set in motion comment
that is constructive rather than
destructive of the conception, which
had so long abhed in the public
mind. The old has been revived and
verified and some new sidelights have
been revealed. The Washington
monument stin stands, as President
Coolidge remarked, the strength and
dignity, the far sight, the faith
and humanism of the man have been
emphasized.l More clearly than ever
we perceive that no other figure in
history is exactly comparable with
that of George Washington, and this
not because he was brilliant, nor be-
cause he surpassed in the range of
his intellect.
He was great figure in human
mold of large proportions with a
well balanced mind that was sound
6liu oCliSlpiC' lIc AOSOShA1Cu c'hN
stood upon fundamentals Of good
character; he possessed them in
generous measure; he used them
wisely. Though born an aristocrat
and though wealthy he never hest
tated to throw it all in the scale, to
risk life as well as property for the
cause. which once he espoused he
never faltered in supporting. He
appreciated material things, but al
their genuine value and never was
deceived thereby. Justice and free
dom were to him more than all other
earthly possessions.
And saying these things but repeats
what has so often been said before
We cannot hope to add to nor would
wish, were 1t possible, to change the
public conception OF the Father OF
his Country. We might with profit
to ourselves consider our Indebted
ness as a people to him for the bless
tngs We enjoy, who builded on prin-
ciple. faith in God and belief In his
fellow men.

Editorial Comment
Absurdity Of The Strike
(Lewiston Journal)

It almost reaches to the fifth lobe
of the brain-this suspicion that
strikes do not pay cash dividends.
The Biddeford. Maine. textile strike
ran along many weary weeks. Not a
single principle was involved. Work
was stopped. Business was driven
out of New England towards the
south. Traders suffered. Employees
went broke. Nobody made a dollar
out Of 1t. 1t ends where It began.
1t is time that the public took hand
in these assaults on business. when
they are merely engineered by the
agitators and the walking delegate.
When the business people get the
courage of a mouse and refuse to be
terrorized by either corporations or
labor and insist on square deal
both ways. there will be few cause
less strikes.

All Colds Should be Treated
Promptly.

Deep grippy colds have been I'M
usually prevalent here this winter
The situation Is fairly general
throughout the States. In some Sec
tions these colds are called Unfit

officers report that they are much
milder than the original epidemic
and resemble more closely the old
fashioned la grippe. They are usu-
ally accompanied by q headache or
achy feeling over the body, running
Of the nose" sneezing and frequently
by gastric and intestinal complica-
tons such as hiccoughs, nausea,
diarrhea, etc.
Colds are too often neglected I'M
til they have lowered the vitality
sufficiently to permit the lurking
germs, which cause pneumonia, bron-
chitis and influenza to attack the
body.
Don't Take Chances
The only safe plan Is to attack a
cold right at the beginning. A hot
foot bath, a laxative, a sweat and a
vigorous application of Vicks Vapo-
Rub at bedtime over throat and chest
will often break up a cold over night.
For hours after Vicks is applied
the vapors Of camphor, menthol,
eucalyptus, thyme and turpentine,
released as/vapors by the body heat,
are inhaled directly into the infected
air passages. At the same time It
warns and stimulates the skin like
a poultice, drawing out" the sore
ness and pain,
1t is an obstinate cold indeed that
can resist this direct, double action.
vicks Vapor Steam -
If the air passages are badly
stopped up, try the "teakettle and
tent" treatment. This method -
fully explained in the directions
consists, briefly. Of vaporizing Vicks
in a teakettle and arranging a news
paper tent" over. the patients head
so that the combiped warm steam
and medicated vapors can be inhaled.
Mothers especially appreciate
Vicks for the frequent colds of chill
dren, as it can be used freely and
often, without disturbing the diges-
tion-you "just rub 1t on" Over 81

Boston Girl Leads
Bates Strength Tests

Lewiston, Me, Feb. 20.-Miss Marga-
ret Morris of Boston. sophomore at
Bates College, has the highest total
strength of any of the women in the
college. According to the athletic de-
partment of the college, good muscle
tone and health go together. They have
found that the girls with the highest
total strength have good all-round
development, their nervous condition
is fine, and they more nearly approach
the average for their group in height
and weight. These girls are the ath-
letic leaders of the college.
Miss Morris is one of the most
graceful and skillful skaters in Bates,
and did some exhibition work at the
recent winter carnival
