Happy Evenings

Spring evenings are delightful
with our gay crowd now that Elsie
is here to furnish the music--really,
she's a wonder on the "uke"--the
chords ring SO clearly, as does the
melody which she plays very effec-
lively.
you're an artist I" I told her.
"Not ut ALL" she protested, "my
uke's just naturally good 1T re-
spends so nicely--much OF the credit
for my music belongs to the instru-
ment."
"Why don't you learn?' she asked,
its easy. You 90 right down TO
Thos. Goggan & Bros. and get one
Of their splendid ukuleles-they car
~ highest quality stringed instru-
ments-you1l be playing in no time
and you'll love it."

For the BriGe

Choosing a gift for the bride! An
important commission - yes but
how interesting when one has such
beautiful wares to choose from az
we've found. Flower baskets and
vases Of Klyro ware - something
really pew-arc lovely, as are salad
sets of Kelsey glass in green, rose,
crystal. Holland pottery, too, makes
a delightful present, particularly for
the bride who will live in a cottage
and Chinese brass bowls with
ebony stands, arc charming. All
these lovely wares-in fact, scores
of attractive gift ideas--await one
at the Newton Weller Co., 131 W.
Commerce--and selections fiom their
exquisite stocks are certain to be
most acceptable.

AIR POLICY
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL

The administration has emudrke Z
upon policy Of co-ordinating all
American air activities without the
creation of a national department
of aviation.
An unofficial board composed of
the three new assistant secretaries
for air. F. Trubee Dawson, War,
Edward P. Warner. Navy, and
William McCracken, Commerce. will
carry out the new policy which is
said to have the approval of
President Coolidge.
The assistant secretaries plan to
hold frequent meetings in the
future, in which every possibility
of joint action will be expIoI ed.
Dawson said today.
Aviation enthusiasts who sup
ported Col. Mitchell's plan for con:
solidating the air services say the
creation of the unofficial hoa1G is
a long step in this direction.
One of the first proposals 20 be
taken up is expected to be the
creation of a joint board OF exreri-
mentation to assign definite cb-
jectives to the experts of the army
and navy air corps.

spirit Of useful enterprise, however,
does not conflne itself within our own
borders. 1t permeates the entire world
and renders great service to peoples
other than our own.
'Let us pass over Americas service
to humanity in the war and consider
what is being done now. Largely to
rebuild the economic life Of a world
shattered by the war and its tlevastat,
ing after effects, America has, since
the war, loaned other peoples over ten
billion dollars. Last year alone q bill.
lion and half in foreign financing
was consummated In the United
States. American financial genius
has so far readjusted our banking ma
chinery to meet enlarged international
obligations that stupendous foreign
loans, such as the 100000, 900 Dawes
plan credit to Germany, are conclud-
ed and the books closed after being
open to public subscription only few
minutes.
With our new world viewpoints we
in America have many great things
yet to do. These things are typical Of
the broadminded world viewpoint of
American finance. 1t shows the vision

is an inspiration in this and the great

Sad 10 the lot OF the savings de-
pcsitor who, after losing his savings
through wildcat speculation. is driven
to desperation for funds and finds it
necessary to borrow money to meet
an emergency such as sickness or I'M
paid rent Let me give the facts
about two cases of the many with
which have come in contact.
The Loan Shark at Work
The principal characters In the
first case are a man, who must Dor
row $3.50 to place his wife in a hos
pital to save her life, and loan shark,
who demands every ounce Of blood.
In desperation the borrower applies to
this loan shark for the loan of $3.50.
This ia what 1t costs him-the
amount Is almost unbelievable but /
obtained the exact figures first hand
and l can vouch for their correctness
this man was obliged to give bis
note for 1925 for loan OF $3.50! The
day he got the note the shark sold it
to an innocent holder and it became
an obligation binding upon the bor-
rover. Think OF paying 1926 for q
loan of $3.50!
Here is another. This time there is
q woman in the case. The woman
needed $165 to meet payment on
her furniture or lose it. She turned to

CONCERN FELT FOR
FUTURE OF FRANCE
Writer Sees Possible Extinc-
ton of Race.

Harold G. Willard Of New York dis
cusses In the Scientific Monthly the
question of the possible extinction of
the French race. Mr.. Willard says that
although the French are not repro
ducing themselves, they have not as
yet begun to die out. In the last
three years, 1924. the excess of
births over deaths in France was 237,-
666, or at the rate of $4,000 per annum.
While no statistics are available on
the subject, some experts are of the
opinion that this excess of births is
in a large measure due to the pres
ence of several million foreign labor
ers on French soil whose home birth
rate is higher than shat of the French
native stock. Should conditions re-
main the same as now, however, the
scale will before long be tipped the
other way. For during the war years
the French birth rate fell off more than
so per cent, which means correspond
ing drop between 1935-40 in the num-
Der OF young men and women able to
marry During these years or shortly
thereafter, the French marriage rate
will be halved, with the inevitable
consequence of a like proportionate de-
crease In the birth rate. Thus, the
slight annual gain that is now taking
place in the French population will be
more than wiped out decade hence.
Then the twilight Of the French race
viii truly set in. The French
seem to have 1t in their power to de-
eide whether they will increase Ia
time in the same proportion as other
European peoples or become eth
nically extinct They must improve
living conditions at home or their
ranks will continue to be thinned by
disease as now and they will slowly
but surely shrink In number. If they
resolve to remain the worlds foremost
military power and to carry the bur-
den Of a great colonial empire with
all the attendant sacrifices, they Grip
pie themselves from introducing the
housing and sanitary reforms essential
20 their survival as a great race. They
are therefore confronted with a fate
ful decision.
Whatever their choice, 1t is improb-
able that France viii become depopu-
lated hereafter. Only half as densely
peopled as Germany or Italy, she has
had to call in thousands Of alien labor
ers to till her soil and to help de-
velop her industries. In 1924 only
slightly more than 1900 foreigners be-
came naturalized French citizens. The
real peril confronting France is not de-
population but standardization. Be
fore many decades these alien workers
and their descendants may outnumber
those Of true French extraction.

telephoned her to call It was now
too late for her to make any other ar.
rangements for borrowing the funds.
The shylock had planned 1t so that
she would be at his mercy aud would
have to accept his terms. He charged
her $3.50 for loan Of 1851
How the Shark Does Il
Doubtless your curiosity Is aroused
as to how this shylock can get away
with such a deal Here are the facts.
He charged a large commission for
making the loan and also included a
wide range in fees such as for draw
ing up papers and notarial fees. On
top Of this he required the borrowers
to buy stock in his company which
was worthless. Then he required them
to take out through him life insurance
to about one hundred times the
amount OF the loan for which he re-
ceiyed liberal commission. In fact,
he reSorted % every imaginable
scheme In order to bleed them Of the
last drop OF blood they had to give.
And the unfortunate thing about 1t all
is that the borrowers in these two
cases found it necessary to meet such
exorbitant terms because they had
already Lost their savings through i'll
advised Investments.
