city standing in aquatic circles which could be obtained

but there remains which perennial threat to
take the race away from Washington That absence

This difficulty could be obvated easily and at little COST
All that would be necessary would be to widen the George

Except for the of the channel this course
which the race formerly held is regarded as ideal
The Federal Government should include its estimates

Everything was so hopeful.
But these last months 7
have come to understand. No,
we're not standing in the
breadline yet. I guess we'll
manage to get through some
how. But-life's getting my
goat, Elsie. It's all so shabby
and monotonouS. I've kept
hoping something would happen
but, nothing does. I have
known grief when our little
girl died. And real danger
once we were caught in a for"

known anything that gets me
down like this. I could use
that prayer now, if you'll print
it again. MARY"
I'm using it pretty hard my

A Prayer for a Common Day
My Unseen Friend
Lie source, WnOm some Cd4
God, but for whose being
I have found no name,
Help me today!
This day, I think, will be a
common day,
Devoid of venture, risk or thrill
or show;
Eight working hours, plodding
in a row
Like tagging sheep, whose herder
I must be
And You, who made me, know
I hate such days!
I can face danger or the press
of haste,
Cruel shock or sudden uproar
and alarm,
Or I can laugh and play the
merry clown
Or act a part to mask some
Desperate need
But something limpS in me
when days are dull.
I fret and whimper at monotony,
I Sulk and Shirk when life's pro-
ceSsion dragS,
I weep great tears Of pity for
myself
And snarl with anger at each
fancied wrong,
And hate my brother and the

him, sees through him, yet glori-
fies him.
Life, without a companion
7ho understands, is like chat
ting over the telephone with
nobody at the other end Of
the wire.
Success without somebody
who cares whether you succeed
or not is like a car without
gasoline, or dining alone at
the Ritz.
He must have sympathy,
companionShip-and somebody
to help him keep all his illus
ions about himself bright and
shining!
Any man will listen to his
troubles and sympathize but
only q woman who loves him
will sit all evening and actually
rejoice while he talks about
his triumphs!

for yourself that you might
have done without?
: If this be your method your
family has a right to be tired
of your economy talks.
Members of the family will
realize that much more pleas
ant and comfort for all would
have been the result If you had
been less selfish in your spend

But you bought to satisfy
your pride. .
They longed for things that
would have meant increased
family comfort.
To be obliged to save in small
amounts only to see it all go
out in a lump sum for one per

Who Shall Meet the
Obligations of the Debts9

Apropose of Ramsay Mac
Donald's statement in the
Commons it is announced
from Washington that che
sees eye to eye with Presi-
dent Hoover on the debt
payments" No doubt Mac
Donald and Laval are more
familiar with the President s
agreement regarding the
debts than the American
people whose money is in
volved. However, we are
let in gradually and eau
tiously on the secret.
1t appears that the Presi-
dent will ask Congress to
recreate the Debt Funding
Commission to "pass upon
applications for reductions
based upon the capacity to
pay" There will be appli-
cations from the IA nations
to whom we made the loans
borrowed from the American
people.
All will plead incapacity
to pay. 1t may be observed
in passing that some consid-
Grafton should be given to
America IS capacity to pay
the debts of these IA nations.
There is no possibility Of
cancellation.
There Is no possibility Of
reducing the debts.
The only question is who
shall meet the obligations OF
the debts that must be paid
by some one.

A Program Of
Humanity

Clifford Pinchot, Governor
Of Pennsylvania, is not so
blase on human suffering.
Taking the position that mo
American, no Pennsylvania
must be allowed to starve, "
he tells the legislature that
there are 100000 human be-
ings in the State who are
not permitted by conditions
to earn their daily bread,
and that there are $4,000
school children in the COM
monwealth who will not
have enough to eat.
Knowing that not enough
will be individually SUBJ
scribed to prevent starva-
tion, he proposes to furnish
relief through taxation to
the extent of $75,00O,00O.
He takes direct issue with
Herbert Hoover who insists
that the hungry must de-
pend on private charity.
The money he proposes to
raise by taxation to furnish
food, clothing and shelter
will not be "dole" in the
obnoxious sense; albeit char
ity is a dole. To, receive
assistance the jobless man
must show that he has tried
to obtain employment, has
no means of support, and
"has not refused to per-
form public work offered if
reasonably capable of doing
It,"
That is a program Of hd-
