Sucar From Linen

There Is now IN Germany manu-
factory which turns out daily 1000
pounds Of pure white sugar made from
old linen. An understanding of the
process helps somewhat to dIspel the
unpleasant feeling we experience on
Tearing Of the fact. Clean old linen
Is vegetable fbrln, and. when treated
with sulphurlc acid II Is converted
into dextrln. This Is washed with
lime water, then treated with more
acid, and II changes almost immedl-
ately, and crystnIllzes into glucose or
grape-sugar, which Is so highly val
ued in the making Of rich preserves
and Jellies. The process Is said to be
economical, and tbc sugar Is found to
be chemically the same NJ the grape.

The E Street Car Tracks.

The Public Utilities Commission has
decided against the petition of E
street business men for the removal
Of the car tracks from that street in
conjunction with the widening of the
thoroughfare. 1t holds that these
tracks are still of sufficient use for re-
routing in hours of congestion and in
emergencies to justify their retention.
With the widening of the street they
will be Of less disadvantage than they
have been heretofore. 1t is, however,
desirable for the commission to study
this question of possibly superfluous
tracks to keep to a minimum all rail
lines that are not needed for the usual
operation Of the street cars. Had the
street in question not been widened
it Is possible that the disadvantage Of
the obstruction to traffic and to busi-
ness would have outweighed the con-
sideration of valuable use in emer.

Spot-Cash Federal Financing.

With the United States Treasury
meeting its neXt-due obligations out Of
current revenues, the extraordinary
spectacle is presented Of a govern
ment liquidating its war debts without
a refunding process within eight years
of the close Of the emergency. On the
18th of this month short.term securi
ties to the amount Of $333, 600 900 will
fall due. These securities were issued
to provide funds for the discharge of
certain war loans, in pursuance of a
policy that has been in practice for
several years. Had the Treasury not
been in sufficient funds from current
revenues, 1t would have been neces-
sary to call for another short-term
loan, perhaps in a smaller amount
than the sum to be paid on the 18th.
However, it is now possible to pay
every one of these notes with interest
next Tuesday out of the regular In
come. This does not mean, of course,
that the debt paying will henceforth
be accomplished without new loans.
1t will probably be necessary from
time to time to readjust the debt. per-
haps at smaller rates of interest, as
large obligations fall due. But again
it is probable that, short of an ex-
traordinary reduction in revenue, the
Treasury will be able from time to
time to liquidate without borrowing
again.
A double gain is effected whenever
these loans are paid out of current
revenues. Interest is saved in large
amounts. Likewise the total of the
future obligations is reduced. In the
case of the present loan of 1898. .000,-
900 the interest for a year is $13 ,32O,-
900 at per cent. Had Secretary Mel
lon borrowed the $333.OOo, 900 at per
cent for a year the Treasury would
have had to pay that $13.320.o00 in
addition to the principal By paying
out of the current revenues that sum
is saved, to be applied, it may be, to
future liquidations.
This spectacle of liquidation out Of
current revenues will appeal to every
person in the United States with busi-
ness experience. There may be some
who will feel that this ability to pay
cash for maturing notes might be bet
ter applied to the end of further tax
reduction. But that is a short sighted
view. To the extent that the Treas
ury Is able to care for these refunding
issues out of current revenues the
period Of normal taxation is advanced.
The $333, 200. 900 that will be spent for
debt reduction next week out of cur
rent assets is an investment in tax
reduction in the near future.

Gasoline at Glentornan.

The tiny and secluded village of
Glentornan Of Donegal. in the Emer.
aid Isle, has just celebrated the ap.
pearance of the first automobile in
it's midst. In honor Of the occasion
the residents are said to have hoisted
flags and in other wavs demeaned
themselves exuberantly.
Automobiles are all very well, but
how about the Little People? They
positively do not like them. And
fewer and fewer are becoming the
spots in Ireland where there Is no
lingering trace of gasoline to fairy
nostrils, or cross Matched tracks in
the dirt road or the green turf.
Horses are well enough. and don
keys, Of course. The Little People
have been used to them since the be-
ginning. In fact, like the witches,
they find hairs from the tail or name
of a horse of a certain color efficacious
In the spells with which they punish
those who affront them, while the
wee folk have been known. on good
authority, to borrow a nag and ride

But a motor car? The wee Little
People hate them, as they do cities or
towns, and it Is stated on good author
ity that once fairy 'rath" or dane
ing place has been visited by car
load Of sightseers, that green ring Is
never more used. These folk love and
cling to such little back wash places
as Glentornan. If on rare occasions
they mischievously abused the inhabi.
tants, on the whole their frequent
presence did more harm than good.
No country has as many fairies as
Erin, or ones so sympathetic with
humans.
Glentornan can pat itself on the
back that it is now on the map, but
it would seem that 1t has lost some
thing far more precious. At the pres
ent rate of progress it will not be

To Succor the Franc.

American trade is likely to suffer
as a result of the drastic program
adopted by the French government
looking toward stabilization of the
franc, but If that purpose is accom-
plished in the end the resulting bene-
fits will more than offset temporary
losses. To put through the program
is going to require more courage than
has habitually been displayed by post
war French ministries, but the situa-
ton is a desperate one and it may be
that this time the government means
business. 1t is hoped, Paris dis
patches announce. to avoid the neces-
sity of enforcing meatless days, the

time food restrictions, but it is de.
termined to reduce to minimum i'm

British sources and calling for the

account Of reparations. Hope also is
expressed in Paris that considerable
supplies can be obtained from Russia
and at least part payment credited
to the pre-war Russian debt owed in
France. but this probably is more a
hope than an expectation.
The case With Germany is different.

them with the right party.
Any office, particularly any tele-
phone booth, would furnish them with
mass Of material, out of which they
might deduce any amount of horrible
facts about the lives and desires OF
the impromptu artists.
Recently we made an office tour
and gathered up an even dozen speci-
mems of what men and women draw,
pencil in hand, while hopefully wait
ing for the operator to put through
their call.
II we were a psychoanalyst-which,
let us hasten to say, we are not--We

How does it come about, for in

star with five strokes Of the pencil
seems to be the favorite occupation
of those who wait on telephones?
Some persons achieve marvellous
dexterity in drawing these stars, so
much so that one, looking at the re
suit would swear it Is impossible to
execute one with so few strokes of
the pencil.
We have a. handsome specimen OF
this star-stuff. however. which proves
46 times over that the thing Is
possible.

those at the bottom were veritable
comets.
Evidently most of the astral artists
begin the stroke of the pencil at the
left, the point of the whole thing being
that one is not to lift the pencil from
paper until the design Is finished.
one stroke to the right establishes
the left and right points of the star
design: another movement of the pen
ell downward, and the lower left point
is put on the map; a sweeping line
upward, and the top is established
another straight downward, and the
lower right is fixed; and last, but not
least. upward to the left, and the star
is completed.
There seems to be an ineXpressible

Under the Dawes plan Germany has
signed up for heavy annual repara'
tions payments to France and the
more Of these payments that can be
made in kind the better for German
industry and the lighter the demand
on German cash resources. One OF
the difficulties foreseen to successful
working of the Dawes plan was in
transferring large cash payments
without upsetting the equilibrium of
German finances, and a safeguarding
clause provides that when this can.
not be done cash payments shall be
held within Germany to the credit
of the reparations commission. The
more Germany can pay in goods the
more cash she will have available for
the purposes of productive industry.
The consequences of the new
French program, IL carried to a
logical conclusion, are likely to be
far-reaching both economically and
politically. Not only will it cause
changes in trade channels which prob
ably will endure long after the emer-
gency is past, but there is every rea-
son to believe that political results
will be Of lasting consequence. If the
arrangement proves of mutual bene
At, and it hardly can fail to do so. a
better understanding is bound to come
between the French and German peo-
pies. and a better understanding be-
tween France and Germany would be
one of the largest imaginable contri-
buttons to the future peace of the
world.
