TAKING CHILDREN OUT OF
SCHOOL

The problem is now being cons1d-
cred in some homes, whether or not
to take children out of school at the
opening of the coming term. Many OF
these children are taken out at a
very early age, when they should
still be studying, and when their
tender bodies are hardly fit to carry
the heavy burdens of industry.
There are some cases OF. bright
and capable children, whose parents
need the money they can earn. Yet
the ambition of the American people
is such, that it rarely happens that
a really bright child is pulled out OF
school at a very early age. People
instinctively feel what mistake
this is. When such cases become
known to teachers and school OIL
GERS and neighbors, everything pos
sible should be done to induce the
families to let these children study
longer. Taking child out when he
could benefit by further study is
about like putting a brick on his
head so he can't grow any more.
stunted things are dwarfed and de-
formed. Don't stunt the child's
brains.
What happens more frequently is
that children are not doing well in
school, and they desire to quit and
their parents may feel they would
be better off while working, even If
still quite young.
Something may be the matter
with modern education in many OF
our cities, not to provide some form
of training that would interest and
inspire this type of children.
One reason why many Of these
boys and girls do not do well in
school, is that they get so little help
at home. Their parents may not
speak English well, or they perhaps
discuss at home only the simplest
things of daily life. When the chill
dren get to school, they hear a lot
of things talked about that they
have never heard of. AS a result
they get bewildered, and fall behind.
Where children drop behind, it is
more commonly the fault of the fam
lily life than anything else.

THE EFFECT OF EOUR
SURROUNDINGS

The people who live in nicely kept
homes reflect the better appearance
of these places. If you dwell in a
seedy and run down looking house,
it is difficult not to suffer from this
depressing environment. There is a
constant suggestion that you are not
getting results, and that you can't
do the things expected by modern
sentiment.
But when people improve their
home places and dwell in finished
and attractive surroundings, their
self respect and standards are i'm
proved. They feel more pride in
what they have achieved, which
gives them confidence that they
can go out and meet the world on
even terms. No one in Milford gains
a dollar by the money that may
seem to be saved by living in
shabby looking house.

in securing adequate endowment
funds for the upkeep of the grounds"
Mr.. Mulford also suggests a policy
for cemetery managers. "Neatness Is
the first essential of cemetery. The
most important factors contributing
to this are a good turf kept reason
ably short and carefully trimmed.
especially close to the markers;
graves kept filled, preferably level
with the general surface; and mark
ers kept straight and otherwise in
repair. Most cemeteries are over
loaded with monuments. Modern
practice limits the size for markers
and the location of monuments, only
a few of the latter being permitted
and these in locations that will add
to the appearance of the cemetery as
whole"

DeIaHing the Tariff Bill

The Senate reconvened August 19
and by recesses delay real action un-
til September 8. This, because the
tariff bill has not a good chance of
completion before that date. Then
there will be at least a month of de-
bate, perhaps four weeks to adjust
the differences with the House of
Representatives, and the bill will be-
come law, if the President signs it,
shortly before the regular December
session of Congress. Hearings have
been held by the Senate all through
the summer. Members of the Finance
Committee deserve all credit for
their patience and the care with
which they have sought to get facts.
But no tariff bill is going to satisfy.
Our country is such huge one with
so many varied interests that the
best that can be, must be compro-
mise in. a measure. One of the things
that will be most strongly fought, it
now seems, is Senator Shoots slid
ing scale of rates for sugar. The
American Farm Bureau Federation
has come out strongly against it.

ENDOWMENT FUNDS PROVIDE
FOR CARE OF CEMETERIES

Cemeteries, particularly those In
rural communities, should be oper-
ated under plan which provides for
an endowment fund for permanent
care of the plots, Furman Lloyd Null
ford points out in the current Year
book of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
while relatives continue living in
the community" he comments,
these resting places are usually
kept neat, but on the death or re-
moval of the remaining members of
the family neglect is likely to follow.
To prevent such a condition endow-
ment funds should provide an ade-
quate annual income for the care of
all lots. In modern cemeteries-even
small ones-this is obtained by in
cluding in the cost of a lot sum to
be set aside for perpetual care.
Where this has not been done it is
frequently possible to obtain such a
fund by an appeal to those having
relatives buried in the cemetery. Oc-
casionally community pride will aid

AS a matter of fact, this so-called
speculation is what, to a greater ex-
tent, keeps the country going. The
stock exchanges are places of trade,
where an interest in our great in
dustries is offered the public at a
common price. They are the means
of distributing opportunities to thou
sands of investors.
The exchanges do everything in
their power, by extensive investiga-
ton and reports, to combat dishon-
est stock issues and investment
frauds.
Some years ago there was a lot of
talk because big business was main
ly controlled by a few men of wealth.
Now that big business is controlled
by millions of investors, large and
small alike, there is talk about the
evils of gambling" and the pitfalls
confronting the security buyer. You
can't please everybody, but the mod
ern stock exchanges with their high
ethical standards, seem to satisfy
most intelligent people.
De@
WHEN THE OWNER of business
property improves the same, there
sometimes are conservative folks
who question whether that concern
will get back the money thus spent.
They can't seem to see why the
goods could not be sold just as well
in the quarters as they. were prior
to such betterments.
But the modern touch and the up
to date appearance count lot. Such
an environment for business con-
Germs makes them look alive and
suggests that they are keeping up
with the times. Somehow when con-
Germs get into thoroughly modern
looking quarters, they seem to go
ahead faster.

War Secretary to Make Important
Northwest Speech

The popular Secretary or war.
James M. Good, has just announced
that he will go to Minneapolis during
the latter part of August, to deliver
the principal address at the dedica-
ton of the Foshay Tower building
there on August 81.
This is the first official visit of a
cabinet official to Minneapolis in sew
eral years, and it is indicated that
Secretary Goods speech will be a
keynote address of more than usual
importance and significance.
The building which he will dedi-
cate is one of the outstanding archi-
tectural monuments Of the decade.
Modelled after the Washington Mon
ument in the National Capital, it
will stand as a memorial to the F'a-
ther of his country in the central
city of the Northwest. W. B. Fos-
hay, president of the company bear
ing his name, has built the tower as
the realization of lifelong ambi-
ton to erect a skyscraper in the
likeness of the Washington Monu-
ment.
"The dedication of this building in
Minneapolis has become civic af-
fair which transcends in Importance
the bounds of either city or state"
declared Irwin L. House, Mr.. Fos-
hays representative here. "The event
is not merely the dedication of a
commercial building. 1t represents
the presentation to the nation of an
80 fhA Ifohncf
John Phillip Sousa, with his band
of IS pieces, will play series of
seven public concerts in Minneapo-
lis as part of the dedication pro-
gram. The entire program is ex-
pected to attract visitors from all
parts of the United States. On the
day before Secretary Goods address
the Foshay Hall of Statuary will be
unveiled by Harriet Frismuth, New
York sculptor. In the afternoon,
three busts of George Washington,
the work of Hiram Powers, will be
unveiled by the Sons and Daughters
Of the Revolution.
More than a thousand messages of |
congratulation on the completion of |
the great building will be published |
In connection with the dedicatory ex-
ercises. The senders of these mes
sages include prominent state and
civic officials in every part of the
Union, together with many letters
and cablegrams from foreign coun-
.ries where the unusual design of
he foshay Tower has aroused keen
interest.

Restoring Idle Acres

Remarkable results in the restor-

Fostering the President

Americans are the greatest fad
dists and the greatest eXploiters in
the world. This trait is not lest
sight of in Washington. 1t is reg
istered in ways different from those
of London. A tradesman there will
advertise that he is the maker of
shoes for the King. No one in Wash
ington who serves the President IN
any way publicly advertises thai
fact. But a very large number of
Americans seek to have an audience
with the President and get his COM
mendation of some program or get
his consent to be present at some
function. In these later days almost
every group that comes to Washing
ton strives to visit the White House
and be photographed with the Pres
ident, or get him to come to their
banquet or meeting. Mr.. Hoover has
found it impossible TO keep up the
regular receptions. And if he were
to attempt to meet the wishes of all
who desire his appreciation for this
or that organization, church, college,
law, or what-not, his physical ener-
gy and decent disposition would
fail him in week. Blue law foes are
talking loudly because the President
has failed to give them an audience.
There is no reason in the world why
he should. There are other ways to
stress their program.

Our Weekly
Washington Letter
Measuring EurOpe's Future

Among statesmen and business
men alike, one of the great econo-
mic question-marks of the postwar
period is still the problem of Eu-
ropes recovery.
1t has looked in recent years quite
definitely as if Europe had turned
the corner. Americans have poured
billions of dollars. into Europe to
make this recovery a certainty in
stead of probability. Readers of
the financial pages had the choice
between buying Austrian industrial
bonds, German steel bonds, Italian
hydro-lectric issues-and so they
made possible the rehabilitation of a
once poverty-stricken continent.
But then something else happen
ed. Great American prosperity
caused a boom in domestic securi-
ties without precedent, requiring a
enormous amount of money to fl
nance this large volume of security
speculation and causing in its wake
the highest money rates seen in
many year. And thus with call
money commanding higher price
in our markets than in Europe, no
incentive existed to lend much fur
ther money to European industries,
and on the contrary, millions of Eu-
ropean dollars found their way into
the New York money market. So we
find Berlin, Vienna, Budapest and
other centers with excessive bank
rates, desperately trying to keep
funds in their countries, yet stimuli
taneously suffering from business
depression caused by these high
money rates.
One of the brightest financial minds
in the international field is an Am
erican, H. Murray Jacoby of New
York, who has pointed out that there
has always been much confusion in
measuring accurately the real un-
DERIVING intrinsic comeback OF Eu-
rope. His position is supported by
the fact that a leading Senator, sent
by the late President Harding to
Central Europe after the war to re-
port conditions, came back with a
prediction of chaos. Later, the pres
ident of one of the largest New York |
banks had to resign because ne
guessed wrong on Europe's recovery.
On the other hand, the head of one
of the large international banking
houses was as optimistic as these
other observers were pessimtistic.
Washington is now told that the
settlement will solve the
main difficulties of Europe. No less
an authority than Professor Keynes
saws this is wrong and that the
problem is still a problem. All this
shows the difficulty of gauging the
trend. In fact, the best existing
yardstick with which to judge the
recovery is represented IN
The Jacoby-Stillich Index of Euro
oean Production. This Index is pub
ished annually by the Cambridge
Associates, and represents in one
single figure the agricultural output
If the principal European countries,
md in another figure the Industrial ;
,utput. It was created at the con-
,lusion of the war as a purely
scientific enterprise, by Mr.. Jaco5y' {
he New York banker, and Doctor
oscar Stillich, German economist.
With the confusion which the EURO
,ean economic picture presents at
he present time, official Washington {

walk. The architecture, furniture. in
terror decorations and the accessor-
les show the influence of new and
approved trends in decorative art
without being in any sense extreme.
The pearl gray exterior of the sun
parlor is set off with dark gray on
the trim, while the garden trellis is
in white enamel. The roof shingles
are stained brown, maroon and
bronze green. Interior woodwork is
ducoed as is also the suite of reed
furniture and the occasional pieces.
Rayon upholstery is used on the
reed furniture. A large chair has an
aluminium frame with lacquered fab
ric upholstering. Touches of chrom-
ium plating show on the lacquered
metal ash receivers.
Nemoursa lacquered fabric is US
ed on the walls, while the draperies
are of rayon nionon, with airbrushed
designs. The new fire-resisting cell
lulose acetate sheeting is used for
lamp shades. A score or more of
other recently developed chemical
products are included to show the
progress made in diversified chemi-
cal manufacturing.
GlOrifying the Girls of Other Lands
All the world is growing beautiful,
and the United States is doing its
part to make it so. Exports of toilet
preparations and perfumes from this
country increased 1000 per cent over
1910 and have now reached $780,
900 in a single year. Europe is the
best customer, and Asia comes next.
Soap, dentifrices, face powder, tai
cum powder, and rouge bulk high
among the exports. Beautiful women
of other countries have long had
their own cosmetics, but not in such
convenient or well standardized
forms as these. Ideas of makeup, of
what constitutes feminine beauty,
differ in all these countries, to be
sure. Even in the United States
there are types and styles, from the
k-cheeked baby doll to the dark,
exotic lady who trails long black
robes. But they all find what they
want in the varied jars and tubes

hance beauty.
Cleopatra with her precious oint-
ments, the princesses of ancient Chi
ma with their charred willow twig
for blackening the eyebrows, and the
dusky maidens of the South Sea Is
lands all have one thing in common
as they set out on the journey to
beauty. They start with the skin. If
that is clean and healthy they have
the right foundation for the remain
der of their rites. They can give
permanent waves to straight hair, or
use pomade to straighten kinky hair
they can whiten their teeth or
blacken them; they can paint their
cheeks pink or blue or green, ac-
cording to the ideas Of beauty that
lie in masculine eyes; but there is
no choice about soap and water 1t
Is getting to be the universal SOL
vent.
So shipment after shipment of
American soap goes abroad each
year, girdling the globe, and glorify-
ng the girls in distant lands.

Modern COurtship

When mother was a girl the
SWANS seldom called empty-handed.
There was always a box of candy to
sweeten the evenings conversation
and to win the lady's favor. The
modern youth, however, figures that
candy is part of his sweetie's daily
diet-and why carry Goals to New
Castle? It is probably this sort of
reasoning which accounts for fig
ures recently revealed by a survey
of candy buying habits among 5,94S
families in fifteen cities located in
eleven States. Only 16.1 per cent Of
all the 1000, 100000 pounds of candy
purchased in the United States last
year was given to somebody outside
the family as a gift. All the rest
was bought for family or personal
use.
Changes in dietary habits are the
cause, according to Max Kelly, Pres
ident of the National Confectioners'
Candy" he states,

EARN Loan IN Citrus Growers

(which was formerly considered a
luxury, is becoming more and more

along with the other items of the

ed that candy can be embodied as an
ingredient in many desserts and
other dishes besides being served as
an after-dinner sweet. They are put
ting confectionery on their market
ing lists for family use. Statistics in
dicate that three-fifths of the candy
manufactured in the United States is
bought for family consumption"
The modern Miss may get her
sweets from the family sideboard,
there may be plenty there all the

lates that dad used to bring mother
in the courtship days didn't taste
sweeter? Somehow or other it
seems to us that today's young man
is missing good trick.
