earth, it delivers daily bits of inform
alton in earnest but noticeably re-
stricted fashion. However, the Christ
mas gastronomic spirit has inspired a
release that is a paean of eulogistic
phrases-on the subject of butter.
There is no need this year to stint
the family during the holiday season
on cakes and other foods rich in but
ter" the informer begins soberiy and
goes on to say that the wholesale price
of butter is remarkably low this
December. Now the housewife has
good opportunity to make generous
use of recipes rich in butter. Gather
ing momentum, the writer retails in
dripping phrases the luscious foods
containing butter. Plain cakes! Bread
Pastries Candies! Sauces! Butter,
butter, butter Its unusual uses! 1t is
everything good, everything beautiful,
everything pure, Contemplate the
Subject!
After all, if the price of the glorious,
Colleen stuff really has fallen SO low,
who are we to resent being told of its
precious values?

CUBA COMES THROUGH

When small Republic comes
across" with something the Big Powers
can't deliver, that fact is worth noting.
Senator Robert B. Howell of Nebraska,
debating the recent French debt
settlement, remarked that whereas
payments to us from Britain, Italy and
similar large nations were trickling in
over period of many years at tiny
interest rate, one nation alone had
repaid its debt to the United States in
full at five percent interest. Who?
The little Republic Of Cuba!
However, this statement should cause
no surprise to anyone who has observed
the history of Cuban-American rela-
lions since the Spanish-American War.
The action is typical of Cuba's attitude
toward the United States, The lack of
sufficient sugar during the World War
would have been ,agonizing to us ant,
our Allies Il the Island had not eager.
ly supplied this indispensable COM
modify and generously allowed us to
fix the price by which she forfeited q
large profit She furthermore loses a
handsome sum of money every year
by her cooperation with us in enforc-
ing the Prohibition Act. The major
portion of every Cuban dollar is spent
for American goods. Any amazement
over Cuba's prompt payment of her
debts should arise only from consider
alton of the Islands economic con-
djtion because of her depressed sugar
industry, There is no reason to be
startled at this additional testimony to
a long record of good will and nation
al honor.

and their forces. Later, other nations
obtained similar privileges, and the
French Government in 1862 secured
separate concession" governed by
a distinct Council. There has always
been considerable sprinkling of
Chinese residents throughout these
areas, and the more affluent natives
especially relish foreign protection of
their property against the ravages of
internal strife
Just why China should be policea
in this manner by other nations is
made clearer when one realizes that
there are thirty-five outstanding dates
on the Chinese calendar that call for
extra vigilance to prevent mob up
risings. Each signifies the anniversary
of some national disturbance. To
quote only three of them:
January 3rd-"Massacre" of Chinese
workers by British Navy at Hankow,
1927
March l2th-The Death of DR.. Sun
Yat-Sen in 1925.
December 25th-Anti- Christian move-
ment.
Is it any wonder that Chinese pre-
fer foreign governed areas to their own
nationally administered settlements?

INCREASING THE SAFETY FACTOR

Glenn Curtiss, the aviation pioneer
and authority, in comparing the pro-
gress made in automobiles and aircraft,
has said that the greatest safety
factors in the modern car are the all
steel body and non-shat terable glass.
In a recent test car with such q
body was allowed to run free down a
runway. 1t wound up in series of
leaps and turned over six times. Yet
the fundamental damage was slight.
AS traffic congestion grows and our
accident record increases along with it.,
the motorist turns more and more to
the integral features of his car and
he is satisfied with nothing short of
the best.

PROTECTING A NATION AGAINST

A settlement kept in order by an

Chinese citizens are glad to reside in
such an area which has existed in
Shanghai since 1843 in accordance
with the Treaty of Marking. Turbulent,
rebellious China has no better pro-

natives. Here the stalWart French
Marines and the "sikhs' of the British
force conduct as stern an ORDER rs the
