Arriving in a small western town, an customer was at- tempting to start up a friendly conversation with a native. Tell me-" he said, "what is the status of the liquor supply around here ?"
 Status" mumbled the native, 'I dunno what you mean" T mean is it easy to obtain liquor and is there much of it around here?"
 Wall, mister" said the rustic, "all I can tell you is that a little while back they turned off the water supply for a week and nobody knew it till the town hall caught afire."

sTANDARD-BEARERs.

In the human soul and in the larger images of humanity which are society, strife is the key to progress and the chief means of turning confusion to order. The clash of ideals, pur- poses and opinions leads to judgements; it reveals prin- ciples, and shows us where we stand in relation to them. We go forward by struggles and victories, and such strife is nec- essary to the purpose of life, needful as the two millstones which grind the wheat or the hammer and anvil between which the tool is tempered.
 In such trials at arms ignor- ance takes sides too quickly, and allegiance often owes more to obstinacy and preju- dice than to judgement Yet wider knowledge may bring a new danger by urging com. promise and leaving no en- thusiasms or convictions for which we will live and die. Beyond such lukewarm caution there lies real conviction, where vision rises above the smoke and dust of the arena and sees clearly and singly the essential goal at stake.
 Such visionaries, who see not merely both sides of a quest ion but also the greater prin- ciples- to which it refers, be- come our leaders. These lift up standards to which we may dedicate our strength and our sword arm. These we must have if strife is to find the shortest way to peace and if we are to be spared the long struggles for unworthy victor- ies and the old habits of blind hate and destruction.

 She didn't wash the dishes and she didn't make a stew;
 And she didn't darn his stock ings like his mother used to do. Oh, we'll, she wasn't perfect, but she tried to do her best, Until at length she thought her time had come to have a rest; So, when one day he went the same old rigEarole all through She turned and boxed his ears just like his mother used to do.

HEROES TO ORDER.

There are times when events
 take hold of men and wrest
 them out of peace and obscur-
 ity into duties and responsibil-
 ties unexpected and unsought.
 These, to be sure, are not ordi-
 nary men, since they have
 eyes to see the needs and ears to hear the call where others
 passed by untroubled. They see there is work to be done, and by this knowledge are called and dedicated. Their duty lies before them and cow ardice alone can close their eyes to it.
 History shows the need of the hour IS no respecter of persons. It calls heroes from among the prlvates of the army of the world no less than from it's leaders. It makes strong men of those who had thought themselves weak and reveals hidden power by which men rise from obscurity to the heights of leadership. Such ne cessity, moreover, is a hard master, driving men onward when they are weary for peace and demanding their devotion through every hazard of pain, hatred and misunderstanding. So long as the need is there, they dare not desert their des- tiny.
 The record of the world is the record of it's heroes. Always there has been a man to step | into the breach, to grasp the torch, to lead in the path re- vealed. So long as there are such men, whose courage will not fail when their eyes are opened, so long will the world push on surely to the days of promise.

THE PROBLEM
 OF BAD DEBTS.

Credit is the lifeblood of trade. Through credit operat- ions active capital is multiplied many times. This accounts for the stupendous total of busi- ness exchanges. It has been potent in creating demand for goods by making their acqui- sition easy. It is founded pri- marily on the demonstrated honesty of human beings, SUD- ported in part by the necessity of fulfilling obligations in or der to keep going, and in part by well-conceived credit sys- tems through which sellers limit the commitments of buy CTS to their ascertained worthi- ness, material and moral.
 Yet, with all the safeguards that have been thrown around credit it remains one of the major hazards of business. Bad debts are the chief factors in innumerable commercial dis asters.
 Some few lines of endeavor have been made virtually proof against bad debts. Automobile manufacturing appears to be one. At least, some of the great companies have so organized their selling systems that they do practically a cash business. This is the more surprising since it is common knowledge that enormous numbers of automobiles are sold on de- ferred payment plans. Where there is much credit there must be some defaults. But most motor car producers have found the way to escape em- barrassment when these occur.
 To what extent this is true is revealed in a degree by the re- port of one of the larger com- panies, which announced that since 1914, though its total sale price of cars and parts (the cars sold numbered l. 5O0,0O0) disposed of was more l than $1,23O,OOO,OOO, it's loss from bad debts amounted to only $33,0OO. Probably several others could show as good a record.
 This ought to be the subject l

of profound study in all busi- ness circles. If credit losses could be materially reduced without diminished distribution and consumption of goods, the common prosperity would be greatly increased.

the importance attributed in foreign
countries to his work and his knowledge
of affairs. The cablegram extending the
invitation of President VasqueZ to the
general to come to Santo Domingo is
most eloquent. This document read:
DESTROYS OF obtaining for the Do
minican people the great benefits which
they would receive from your experience
and great ability, I beg you to organize
and accept the Craftsmanship of an ad-
visory mission to come to this country
to recommend methods of improvement
in our system of economic and financial
administrative organization, both ma
ton of scientific budget system: and
for an efficient method whereby the
government may control all Of its ex-
penditures."
To this invitation Gen. Dawes
fastened to reply in terms which set
forth the. exact scope of his mission:
you do me a great honor. and / ac-
cept your gracious invitation with a
sincere hope that may be of some as
sistance, however little, in the work
which you assign me in our sister re-
public. The work you ask myself and
my associates to enter upon is one In
no wise involved in questions OF in
ternal policy, but Is only that Of sug-
costing certain methods of organization
under which the routine business Of gov
eminent is transacted"
Has No Political Intent.
With these words, Gen. Dawes dis
counted in advance any erroneous in
depreciation that might arise as to his
trip to Santo Domingo, expressly stat
ing that his mission has no political
intent or other purpose than a strictly
economic and scientific one. This down.

to make full and emphatic statements
to the press, making public the text
of his cablegram of acceptance and
reiterating that his mission had no
other purpose than that of studying

collection Of receipts, for the reorgani-
zation Of the economic administration
and for the general financial well-being
Of the republic The nature of the

having been cleared up. those suspicious
elements who talk of Yankee imperial

plain why Santo Domingo looks to an

Aid to Other Governments.
The trip of Gen. Dawes to Santo
Domingo is not the first case of its kind
On four former occasions missions of
American financial experts have gone
to four Latin American countries for
the same purpose which has taken Gen
Dawes to that republic. The finances of
Chile, of Colombia, of Ecuador and of
Bolivia were reorganized, some time
ago, by group of experts from the
United States under contracts from the
four governments.
In all four Of these cases, the mission
was headed by Prof. Edwin r. KEN
merer of Princeton University, one of the
most eminent economists of this coun-
try. First in Chile, then in Colombia,
later in Ecuador and last of all in
Bolivia, Prof. Kemmerer and the ex-
perts accompanying him studied the

right declaration of the general with
respect to the nature of his trip to
Santo Domingo was, indeed, opportune,
for some Latin American newspapers,
those which are characterized by their
unGisguised fear of the phantom of
Yankee imperialism" and of all things
coming out Of the North. had already
come forward with q mass Of comment
on the visit of this American dignitary
to Latin country of the Caribbean,
over which the United States Is sup
posed to cherish desire for political
Intervention and economic dominion.
This faction thought that the journey
of Gen. Dawes to the Dominican re-
public had some secret objective, some
political purpose disguised under an
economic label, or a plan for some
great international financial combina-
ton, with which American capital
would once again tighten the grip of
the "talons of imperialism" upon the
Caribbean region. They had discussed
all this in some Latin American nations
almost as soon as the announcement
had been made of the "trip of Gen.
Dawes with mission of American ex-
perts TO Santo Domingo"

Gen. Dawes upon landing in the
Dominican Republic was that Of check

pose of Offering facilities to the govern
ment for contracting large American
loan, which was going to endanger the
condition of the country, and

dent of the United States, Is at
the present time studying the economic
conditions Of that country, and fornlu-

for improving the finances and building

The man who for so many years de-
voted his attention to managing the
gigantic budget of the United States
and to solving the intricate problem
of war reparations today is in the
Dominican capital preparing plans and
framing scientific measures for putting
in order the finances of the little Latin
Republic. A small task, it might seem,
compared with those undertaken by
Gen. Dawes before. when dealing with
the fabulous receipts and expenditures
of Uncle Sam, or when he was trying
TO work out a solution for the greatest
economic problem of the present era,
that of the European reparationS, when
hundreds of millions were at stake. A
small task, perhaps, but it shows the
disposition, characteristic of Gen. Dawes,
to help others, to lend his aid and
counsel wherever it is asked, and to CO.
operate in the sterilization Of the affairs
OF the world And 1t Is this character

Perpetual Motion
BY BRUCE BARTON.

- ONE day. 90 into the Pat.

for patents on perpetual motion
machines.
You will see some very in.
genious devices.
For instance, . machine to be
run by the power of gravity
iron balls dropping down chute
and turning a wheel.
The inventor Of that machine
provided for everything. He
even added a brake to stop the
machine, in case it should run
so fast as to become un-
manageable.
He forgot only one thins--that
it requires just as much energy
to lift the balls up against
gravity as they develop by
falling down.
In England, between 1917 and
1908, more than 600 separate ap-
plieations fer patents were made
on perpetual motion machines.
Every single year brings it's
inevitable crop Of new appIi-
cations.
They stand--this unendina
procession--as q magnificent
monument to the Interchangeable
ness Of human nature.
