STORIES that deal with the beautiful but
still struggling young business girl usually
relate how she arose each morning with
the dawn to sew clean white collars and
cuffs into her "well-brushed, though
Worn," serge frock, and how by this un-
failing freshness won the heart of the
handsome junior executive. But the am
bilious young business woman need not
sacrifice sleep on the altar of success if she
has smart silk crepe or lightweight wool
frock like this. For when she wishes to
change the trim little silk vestee of har-
monizing shade moments time sufices,
while the smart linked cuffs require no
attention at all. The upper part of the
frock is especially interesting, being cut
so that both right and left sides continue
in band-like pieces which cross over one
another in front and meet in back to form
plain belt. Copyright, 1927, by But

AN AERIAL AMBASSADOR.

Having added to his laurels by splendidly ful- filling his mission to Mexico Americas Good Will Ambassador, Col Charles A.. Lindbergh is diplomat by extending his tour into the countries of Central America. His response to the great welcome given him in the Mexican capital demon strated again his capacity for clear-headed thinking Americans. residing in that city, are authority for the statement that his visit did more to straighten out the mess into which the diplomatic relations of the two countries had fallen than any regularly accredited diplomat could have accomplished in 90 years. That may have been an exaggeraton. but it serves to bring out the distinction with which he served his country in his unofficial capacity.
 And there is every reason to believe similar results will follow his appearances in Guatemala Honduras, San Salvador. Costa Rica and Panama As Will Rogers sad about Mexico at the time of Col Lndbergh's arrival in Mexico City, ''There real people down here, if only knew them" This is equally true of all of the Cen tral and South American republics south of the United States. The trouble has been that so few of the real people in country have known the real people in them. The flying diplomat is overcoming of this. He is making il possible for the real people of to know their prototypes in the others. By his personality upstandng young North American, he is bring ing home to the in the countries he visits that the jingo of this country is like the jingo of their own lands. not representative of the coun- try of his habitat

Preparatory Schooling.
tNew York World. ]

It is interesting to learn through Prof Llewellyn T. Spencer of Yale that boys who receive their preliminary education in public schools do better when they come to college than boys who receive their preliminary educa- tion in private preparatory schools. The private ly prepared boys. 1t is true do make higher grades ill the entrance exaiana tions, but that, says Prof, Spencer, is because they have been specially coached to pass these examinations in- stead of being given the all-around education that the high school boy receives. After the en- trance. examinations he says, the superiority of the hish-school boy is marked not only in grades attained in the classroom but in grades attained in intelligence tests well
 In interpreting the results of researches 1t might be well not to jump at conclusions. That is 10 say, before we assume that high school dspenses better education than prepara- tory school should reckon at least one factor into consideration that operates to make the high school appear to better advantage in such an in vestigation Prof Spencer has conducted. That factor is this Almost all of the preparatory school graduates go to college. Their fathers are well-to-do. and it was with college in view that they were sent to preparatory school in the first place Thus, graduates good, bad and mediocre rated in the tests and 1t is small wonder that the average was about medium. But only small portion of high school students go to col lege And these, rule, are the best in their schools for their parents would not be sending them to college unless they showed exceptional promise Thus it is natural that they should make better showing than the graduates or preparatory schools.
 Nevertheless. if direct comparison is therefore impossible it does appear that our public schools are by means as bad as many Of the,r critics would have us believe They may be to some extent the footballs of faddists, pro pagandsts politicians, and so on. But in the main they do their work well. else even their best graduates would not make such good records after they get into college. And many of us will continue to believe that with all theii faults they the place for an American child to receive the first part of his education.

The Drain to America.
Manchester. Eng. Guardian.

Sir George Paish speaks with great authority
 upon financial matters, and when he said at Oxford last week that the spring of 1929 at
 latest, would find Europe faced with the inn possibility of meeting her current obligations to the United States he did not speak upon his own authority alone. The problem, briefly is how Europe can continue to satisfy American
 demands for payment which have been increased both by the repayment of large blocks Of Am
 ercan pre-war indebtedness to Europe and by
 the creation of large new obligations from Eur ope to America, in the form of war and postwar
 debts. The accounts ought to be settled by in- creased European exports to the States, but in
 fact Europe is exporting less than before the war.
 The balance has only been struck with the aid of large and increasing American loans These, of course while afording temporary relief only
 make the final problem the more embarrassing. Sir George Paish does not think that the Ameri-
 can investor will be willing to bridge the gap for more than two more years at the outside.
 What will happen then? It is easy to speak of
 bankruptcy, but nation does not go bankrupt In the same way as private trader does The
 pressure could only be cxerted through fall in
 the European exchanges upon America and ul- timately. in our own case, through the collapse of the gold standard and the re-establishment of a depreciated and inconvertible paper currency. If the problem is as acute as Sir George Pash indicates America will find herself in the moral
 and material dilemma of having to chose between forcing Europe to return to the system of de- preciated and unstable paper currencies, or re-
 moving her tariff barriers, or forgoing some of her claims to interest. But there is another
 problem, similar in kind, which may demand settlement first That is the problem of how Germany is to finance her increased reparation payments in Europe which is as reluctant to
 take Germany's goods America is to take
 Europe's. The two problems closely con-
 nected, and it is perhaps we'll that America s debtors should be forced to realize that Am
 erica is no more. unreasonable in her treatment of their goods than they are of Germanys

 This increase in income is not the result of an increase in price leve' said the Bureau, flor the actual price in consumed goods slightly less in 1926 than in 1921"

IRON BELLS.

What manner of tone will be the ceremony of bells which the Anti-saloon League has pro mulgated for January 16, as a fitting celebration for the eight years of America during the era of Volsteadism? How shall the bells ring outg For be it remembered that bells sound out many stories those of gh-hearted joy signalizing clean fun and enjoyment, those announcing deeper joys in more serious things, bells calling the faithful to worship. bells of alarums pealing forth the.l message of fright and terror. bells of death "iron bells" of suen tones tolling their melancholy message of an ended life.
 Eight years of national life under "naw Declaration of Independence the Volstead Act proclaims Westerville Ohio. the dry capital of the nation, And what record has been written in that period. Eight years of curtailment of the liberty of freeborn Americans, of graft cor ruption shooting in the back. snoopngs of hypo- cracy and doubledealings Eight years of dom- inaton by a fanatical minority seeking through fiat government to make overnight crime, the habit and custom of years of millions of their fellow men and women, In such manner or spirit this the great American Declara- ton of Independence written. Nor will the respect and admiration which greeted it and which it still retains be felt for the Anti Saloon Leagues new Declaration of Independence and it's effort to sound the deathknell of personal liberty.
 If the churches of the land desire to carry out the promulgation of the League for a cere- mony Of bells on January ,f6 they should read poes poem, 'The Bells's and pay particular heed to the last verse
 Hear the toling of the bells
 Iron bells.
 What world of solemn thought then
 monody compes!
 And the people--Ah the people
 They that dwell up in the steeple
 All alone,
 And who tollng, tolng, tolng,
 In that muffled undertone,
 Feel glory in rolling
 On the human heart stone
 They neither man woman
 They neither brute nor human
 They "Ghouls.''
