reople. we froWn upon marriage with Orientals, we refuse them social equality. But far more our utterances express this con- viction in every word.
 I wonder how many realize that when one gets into China CT India he hears just these same claims of superiority from the yellow and dark races? Last
 ;ummer I was on my way to Geneva with 8 group of men who were very much interested ln international goodwill. We were talking about a conference hat was to be held in Septem- 2er of representatives of all the aces and religions to talk over The possibility of getting togeth- 1T for international peace. Ev- cry word spoken unconsciously betrayed the superiority com plex. Chinese, Hindus, Japan csc, were spoken of unconscious y in patronizing terms. When l got to Geneva it so happened
 nat almost the first speech I leard was by a highly cultured Chinese, president of a uniVers-
 " and one of the leading eX
 7onents of COnfucianism. His address. was devoted to showing how superior Chinese civilization vas to ours. He rather looked
 ~Fan upon the white people and had decided Superiority com plex."' The Western people dit
 -oJ get nearly as much out of life as the Chinese and had not ,ound true happiness as the Ihinese people had. We sought wealth, the Chinese sought con- tentment. We were feverish, yNe Chinese were full of calm md repose. We made work the chief end of life; the Chinese made simple contentment the end of life and work was only means for it's attainment. We were fretful and worried over many things; the Chinese took Jhings as they came and worry vas practically unknown to them. We burdened life with possessions and luXurieS and cares that came with them; the Chinese were happy in the simple life. The Western people were always warning with one another: the Chinese loved peace and had had little to dol with war and arms until the Western nations drove them to them. And so he went on. It | vas very interesting and made member of the white race feel 'ery inferior.

GERMAN DEBT
OFFER IS MADE
Reparations Annuities Of
40, 600 Made BY
Allies Upon Germany

PARIS March 21.-(P-Dr. HAL
mar Schacht president Of the
reichsbank, will take with him to
Berlin tonight, it is learned, the
offer of the allied experts on repa-
rations to accept 1850, 900, 900 marks
(about $420, 0OO, O0O) as the figure for
the German reparations annuities.
The allies offer carried with 1t
other conditions not REVEALED.
DR.. Schacht has given no 1ndl-
cation that the German government
Will accept the allies offer. He has
~telegraphed DR.. Rudolph H~ilferding,
minister Of finance, to call a meet
ing at Berlin Of the great provincial
industrialists and heads Of the Ger
man institutions so he may explain
the situation Of the negotiations.
The German banker asked this
meeting deliberately SO that reSpon-
sibility for acceptance or condition
al refusal would be widely shared
not only by the government but by
the great leaders Of German indus
try and finance.
The figure OF 1,750,OO0,O 900 marks
is understood to represent repara-
tons payments Of all categOrieS.
This would entail a reduction of
the present annuitieS under the
Dawes plan Of between 700, 100000
and 300, 900, 900 gold marks.
The 1,750,O00,000 marks figure
was guarded with the greatest Sc
crecy; consequently when it was
learned there was no attendant eX-
PLANTATION or comment to indicate
the number Of annuitieS or if as
generally supposed it was the first
figure Of a schedule of rising an
nual totals.
Thus it appeared that the mini
mum which Germany's creditors will
accept is in fact the equivalent Of
the fourth years Dawes annuity,
payment Of which was completed
August 81, 1928.

Chairman Cousins occurred at the
morning session, when Simms init
mated that any attempted order
by the state regulating commits
sions might be attacked in the
courts. Mr.. Simms read a letter
addressed to Pres. G. l.. Duncan OF
the State Association of Insurance
Agents, discussing the question OF
state regulation.
Il seem to catch an implication"
Chairman Cousins replied, in
that letter that if the state under
takes to regulate commissions, we
might be influenced by certain big
eastern companies. I want to say
there is no foundation for any
such implication. As for court &C
ton, in case an order IS decided
upon. we shall not be deferred by
that idea"
On motion Of W. L. Stiles Of San
Antonio. the agents promptly
adopted a resolution of confidence
in the state commission.
T. w. Barrow, president Of the
Austin Insurance exchange, and r.
Brown Robbins Of Austin disclaim-
ed on behalf Of the Austin insur-
ance men any criticisms Of the
state insurance department.
At the close of the meeting it was
announced the state board will de-
eide later whether it is to under
take regulation Of agents commits
siOnS.
A majority of the members pres
ent praised the present state in
surance law, which fixes uniform
rates; while the agents were di-
vided on the question whether
commissions should be uniform I'M
der all circumstances.

AUSTIN, March 21.-Nearly 100
leading fire insurance agents of all
sections of Texas, facing a pros
pect OF a war between different
groups OF companies which was be-
lieved to threaten the stability Of
the entire fire agency business in
Iexas, gathered here Tuesday IN
conference with state insurance
commissioners to study the impend-
ing conflict and to determine wheth-
er or nat state regulation shall be
invoked to prevent it.
The meeting was called by the
state commission, and agents were
invited to express views on the
questions of alleged excess" COM
r,3SSions, the first evidence OF The
cafaling conflict, and whether or not
a state order making uniform
agents commissions should be
adopted.
Chairman r. B. Cousins, Jr.. told
the agents the commission has not
yet determined whether it will at
tempt to issue an order regulating
the commissions. The state al

CATCHING ENTHUSIASM
By ALICE HUDSON PEALE

Some children are self starters. Never do they have to ask anyone what to do. and seldom how to do what they wish. These children are the product of unusually fortunate circumstances, of dispositions well suited to take advantage of the en- virolment in which they find then- selves.
 But most children are not ielf starters. Whether this is because their environment or their training has been at fault is hard to say. Most Of us naturally think of child hood as the time of spontaneity and enthusiasm and vigorous activity. Yet it is true that a, great many chil- dren, when left to themselves, spend sorry hours of listlessncss.
 Such a child needs stimulation. Best of all, is to help him find play mates who will stir him to happy pursuits. A summer camp IS the best place for him.
 But if. for one reason or another, IL lS JOSSIblt lO ploNlut lOI uIHl the companionship of his fellows. an adult who can, in some measure. take their place is the next best thing.
 If your child is one who finds the day holds many vacant hours, set yourself to be his playmate. DO with him the things in which likely he would be interested after he once got started. Do with him the things you like to do yourself. Nothing is more catching than enthusiasm. cs- pecially when the carrier is one whom the child loves.
 Go swimming with your child. walk in the woods with him. play ball with him. Work with him in the garden, in the carpenter shop or the garage. The listless one soon w'Il catch your enthusiasm. and perhaps will become a good self starter.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Fly
 Gc;a, the Health NIa~aZine

All too frequently one hears a | person whose medical education in youth was neglected say regarding the unfortunate sufferer from accl- dent: ''The bone was not broken, t was only fractured"
 Of course, fracture is a break and vice versa. Part of the trouble arises from the fact that the lan- SuaSe of the surgeons relative to fractures, dislocations and sprains is highly complicated. The surgeons recognize simple fractures and com wound fractures; they speak of green stick fractures and commi- nrted fractures; there may be sep aration at the epiphysis. frartu,,. into the joint, ununited fractures and other varieties.
 The number of ways in which portions of bone may be separated off or broken apart would astonish a cabinet maker or a layer of par Quet floors.
 When one thinks that he has suffered breaking of bone, either of a small part, or cracking in.o the bone or breaking the bone into two parts, the most important thing is to find out exactly the nature and cXcnt of the injury. Through his study of similar cases the com potent surgeon can tell a great deal by his examination of the parr. studying it's movements, sounds. amount and character Of swelling and shortening or lengthening of tissues ad amount of distortion.
 However, the most exact infor- nation is to be obtained by the use of the N-ray and ii is by far the "afest procedure in case of fracture 10 have the N-ray plate made as soon as possible.
 The first step in the correction of the injury is 10 put the parts or the bone together again as nearly as possible as they were before. This is called setting the fracture. Sometimes because of the action Of tho muscles and of the ligaments. or because a portion of the tissues has gotten between the parts of the bone this cannot be done without opening up the tissues.
 In cases of compound fracture, which are those in which the tis.

SIMPLE HEALTH RULES WILL
 REMOVE PUFFS UNDER EYES

An ounce of prevention is worth pound Of cure.
 Nowhere does that apply so truly as in caring for ones beauty. Women often buy beauty prepara- tions expecting results overnight never realizing that the poor con slition of the skin. hair or other feature is the result of weeks and months Of improper care.
 A marring trait to beauty which one should watch for and ward off is the condition Of puffs and circles under the eyes. These distigurirg pockets and rings always look like signs of dissipation though they are just as often caused by insufficient water in the system, lack of sleep or general ill health.
 "'rhc best way 10 prevent puTs and rings is to drink plenty of water watch the diet and got sui ficient sleep" says Betty Compson. Those are just general health rules which apply 10 SO many heath problems but the fact remains that H person who is perfectly healthy has a beautiful S.,in.

Magic Wand of Make-Up Turns Ugly
 Ducklings Into Beautiful Women

How many times have you seen an ugly child grow into a beautiful woman? Or vice versa? Often for it is not always the child born with regular features and lovely coloring who is recognized as a woman of charm in later years.
 "Often I think being born beauti- ful is a disadvantage rather than an asset" believes Doris Hill. Girls who are recognized as beauties from their cradle days come to accept such praise and never give a thought to preserving and improving their beauty They take for granted that they will always have it.
 'Homely girls, on the other hand. with stringy hair, sallow competitor and irregular features have to work hard to gain their share of beauty and. in obtaining it. strengthen their will and character as well.

 ID HONOR MOTHERS
Unknown Donor Would Have
 Monument in Washington

Washington, July o7 LP)-A fter
 years of planning, Capt and Mrs. (. (. Calhoun hope to soon see their dream come true-a great me- morial to the mothers of the world.
 Captain Calhoun. Washington at | torney, has laid the foundation by donating five acres of the choicest land on his estate, Braemar Forest
 man who wishes to remain anonymous has offered enough fine white limestone to build the me- morial. Harry flake, who designed the Duke memorial in North Caro- | lima and like monuments. has of- fered to draw the plans in memory | of his own mother.
 | Captain Calhoun estimates the ! finished memorial will cost between l S4,000,000 and $5,0O0. .000. With the ground set aside and flag marking the spot where it is hoped the me- mortal will arise in stately splendor by 9S2. he is going ahead with his plans.
 From the wooded heights of the NdlnOun estate ONerlOOklng the city, a light will flash continually from the pinnacle of the shaft.
 Many of Mrs. Calhoun's ideas are included in the design for the struc- ture. The names of 100 women rep resentatlves of given states or coun- tries will be carved on the columns Of the double colonnadc in the court of honor which will stand in front of the main building. The inner columns will represent each state the outer each country. Flags of the various countries and states will be unfurlcd daily.
 Within the main building will be a hall of fame commemorating the arts and achievements of women. At the rear will be an open air theater for plays and paSeants Facilities for research for mother and child welfare work, funds for destitute mothers and for education of needy children are part of the memorial plan also

sues are broken open, there is the added danger of infection from an unclean open wound.
 Some forms of fracture are so common that special names have been given to them to commence rate the men who first classified them. There is a common fracture of the wrist due to back firing or reversing of the crank of gasoline motor. There are fractures at the elbow due to falling on the tip.
 Some of the types of fracture most difficult to determine are those of small bones of the foot or of the spine which do not incapacitate the person immediately but which lead 10 serious pains and disabili- ties later. The most certainly inn portant thing 10 know about a fracture is just exactly what kind of a fracture it is
