We in this country feel, no doubt. that

was the banks. They got all the money,

Norman, British Bank Chief,
Puts Mystery Into Finance

Sir Montagu Norman, governor Of the
Bank Of England. who recently visited
the United States, has made state
ment ON the depression which has
created a strong impression in this
country because it has tended to intro
duce the element of uncertainty, with
some mystery. into the treatment of
business conditions. There are various
interpretations Of his declaration that
he approaches the subject with "ignor-
ance and humility" 1t is observed that
he processes to have no knowledge as to
a remedy for conditions.
Conceding that the picture presented
is gloomy, the Des Moines Tribune yet
finds e pleasanter aspect. and states:
Sir Montagu admits that just now he
doesn't know. If that mood is shared
by his fellows. it should mean that
finance is now more open minded with
regard to these problems than it has
ever been before within the memory of
man. Heretofore financiers as class
dogma. They liked to tell us that thus
and thus was so and so, and we ques-
toned them at our peril 1t is great
thing if finance has at last adopted the
attitude Of the scientific investigator.
If it has abandoned its traditional mar
rowness of outlook and fear Of what is
new and is ready to listen to theori-s
thet are not stodgy with age. We may be
thankful, and perhaps look for new
discoveries in finance and economics
that will rival those that come SO fire.
quently in other fields of scientific re-
search"
"A beWildered banker seems to be as
fantastic as poet with haircut" de-
clares the Baltimore Sun. "Mr. Norman
hasn't the foggiest notion what is the
matter with us. He thinks something
might happen for the better If the ma
tions could get together, but, having
spent lot Of time on the inside of con-
ferences, he is pessimistic about the
prospect. In short, the difference be-
tween Mr.. Norman and other bankers
seems to be that, whereas they base
their dogmatism upon tables of statis-
tics, Mr.. Norman bases his uncertainty
on a considerable experience with hu-
man beings who act as if statistics hal
never been invented. Perhaps this is
why Mr.. Norman DISCUSSES himself as

on facts and figures and isn't much

race"
His statement" thinks the Spokane
Spokesman Review, should allay the
cocksure egotism of the person who
approaches the subject in abundant
ignorance but far from a spirit Of hu-
mility." The Boston Transcript directs
attention to the fact that Mr.. Norman
has been governor Of the Bank of Eng
land for more than 10 years, although
previously 1t had been customary to
choose q new governor at the end Of
two years, and holes that his eminence
in finance is established. 1t feels that
while lit docs not appear that he had
American affairs particularly in mind,
the speech should be valuable to citizens
of this country" The Hartford Times
says: THE Norman point of view does
not lose hope, but it lifts the problem
of the times above narrow political
horizons everywhere. and suggests prob
ably even more Of truth than 1t specifl-
cally reveals. There Is Q great wealth

Rainfall has been very much more
to the liking of amateur gardeners this
Autumn than last.
Every new rain finds hundreds of
fans" greeting it with as much enthus-
iasm as is displayed by the average
base ball addict when the home team
wins.
Precipitation, in so far as gardening
Is concerned, is home run every time.
Even at this season. when growth and
Towering are definitely over. nothing
can take the place of a first-class rain
over a period of hours.
Showers, as pleasant as they are to
the fancy which likes them, contribute
scarcely more than a freshening to
plants, shrubs and trees and to the air.
A real rain is one which disgusts
those who have little or no interest in
the garden.
DisgustS?
Probably that is too harsh a word
used in this connection.
There are countless good people who.
profess to find fault with an honest
rain. saying that it spoils their day or
soaks their trouser cuffs or spoils their
stockings.
Yet at the same time perhaps the
majority of them, if once they stopped
to think about the matter. would agree
that all growing things, and hence the
beauty of the city and countryside they
live in, are benefited by heavy rain
as from no other happening whatso-
ever.
A chronicle of a rainfall in the eter-
al Nf -,
may not assume the exact Importance
attached to recital of startling event,
such as tornado, but in that long and
endless sequence it will have many
happy readers, delighted to know that
them the small delights of the every
day life, in which startling things hap
pen infrequently.
No doubt it is better to read about
tornadoes than to experience them
And sometimes one understands with
what might be termed equal fervor that
If life is uninteresting at the same time
it is calm, and that if it Is placid it also
may be rich with an inestimable rich
ness.
Rains have a way of bearing these
simple truths home to the least medita-
tive persons. 1t takes no philosophic
insight to realize that a good rain has
something interesting and delightful
about it. even If at the same time we
lament the water in our shoes and
across our windshields.
Water, like air is too good and faith
full a servant Of mankind to be for
gotten in the daily life.
Forgotten, We mean, in conscious real
lzation. Every one uses water in many
ways. 1t is perhaps the most service
able medium; in sense more so than
air
Yet air has been dramatized.
Not only did the phenomenon of
liquid air, so called, appeal to millions
OF persons. but the spectacle of mans
conquest by plane and dirieible gave 1t
immensely dramatic aspects to which
water offers no serious rivals.
Water Is so old and has been func-
tlonlng in exactly the same way for so
many centuries that mankind takes it
as 1t does glass Of water, without
thought.
Water deserves our serious, conscious
consideration at times, If only for its
tremendous importance in the human
constitution
A very large part of the body and an
even larger proportion of the blood rs
water of exactly the same sort which
filters down out OF the CLOUDS In a
heavy precipitation.
Therefore, in rain one meets ones
self coming down.

SHOOTING STARS.

After the Wild Time.

After the Wild Time.
Light heartedly do we contrive
A merry masquerade
And call on mimicry to thrive
Throughout strange parade.
In loud debate We simulate
The goblins and the elves,
For that is (rather strange to state)
How We enjoy ourselves.
Sometimes the angry word will rise
Which leads unto q blow.
But when the dawn makes red the skies
To bed at last we'll go.

Well put upon the shelves;
Well work next day with courage strong,
And be our simple selves.

Peru Pictured
As Striving for Peace.

El Comercio, Lima.-The projected
appropriation of 100000 soles ga
900, ,000) by the constitutional Congress
Is interpreted in certain quarters as
further fuel for the flames of war, but
scarcely any ether foreboding could be
more preposterous. Peru is not bel
ligerent nation. Any wars that have
ever engaged us have certainly not been
OF our contrivance. On the other hand,
we have consistently endeavored to
avoid conflicts, and have often endured
injustices with patience rather than
resort to armed retaliation.
This behavior has, no doubt, led to
more frequent aggressions Of those who
sought to exploit us in the improper
furtherance of their own ends. And
now that clouds of animosity are again
observed upon the surrounding horizons,
it is only a natural precaution which
induces our government, while 1t seeks
peace, to prepare for strife.
1t is certainly true that If this loan
is finally approved and negotiated the
emoluments will first be used to re-
direct our faculties toward peaceful
solution of international problems.
Commissions and arbitrations cost
money, too, but money is spent far
more satisfactorily and benefcially in
building up the friendships of nations
in calm conference and agreement than
in seeking to destroy that friendship by
the decision of rife and bayonet.

GAzETTE-A peculiar

n
case has just been adjudicated
at Mainz, where on the 28th
~ OF last April Frau Einsmann
and the widow Of Hans Muel-
Ter were arrested and indicted In the
court OF DR.. Mangus Hirschfeld for
masquerading as welded couple
In the hearings which finally have
been held before that magistrate, it
was disclosed that Josef Einsmann. the
husband Of Frau Einsmann, enlisted in
the German army at the very outbreak
Of the war, and was subsequently re-
ported to have been captured by the
English and immured in a British
prison. Since then all trace of him has
been lost He never returned to Ger
many. so far as is known, and in 1920,
forced to depend upon her own exer-
tions. his wife, Frau Einsmann came
to Mainz. seeking employment.
There was, however, no longer any
work for women-scarcely enough for
men-so Frau Einsmann adopted the
expedient of cutting her hair short and
dressing like one of the latter, in cloth
ing that had belonged to her husband.
Being of sturdy and personable aspect,
after some delay she secured a position
as park guard, a situation which she
retained for eight years.
During this entire time Frau Ems
mann was living with Frau Helene
Mueller. who had come with her to
Mainz likewise in search of work. For
the better protection of their mutual
interests, the two women decided to
maintain a joint establishment, Frau
Einsmann posing as the husband and
Frau Mueller as the wife Two chill
dren of the latter led further credibility
to the deception. AS a widow with
children. and no certain means of sup
port, Frau Mueller had previously
found it impossible to secure lodgings.
All went we'll under this arrange
ment for as long a time as We have
mentioned until, unfortunately for the
plot, Frau Einsmann thought one day
to rig herself out again in feminine ap-
parel. In the course of brief prom
enade, she was recognized as the park
policeman and promptly taken into Gus
tody for appearing in garments pertain
ing to the opposite sex.
These representations, considered al
the trial Of the two women, led to the
decision neither was guilty of any very
grave offense, despite the fact that the
children of Frau Mueller had been
registered on the civil lists as the off,
spring of Josef Einsmann and wife Each
was sentenced to four weeks imprison-
ment, chiefly for this Justification.

could be no doubt about it this time.
One good look at his hooked bill and

No People of History
Unfamiliar With Rings

Rings were not always used to dec
crate the fingers, and in suitable
forms at different times, they were
worn as anklets, armlets and neck
laces; on the toes and fingers; in the
ears and nose, writes Frank FL. Vie
telly, editor of the New Standard die
tionary. To this day. the nose-ring,
the earring. and the toe-ring are
worn in Far Eastern lands. Por-
celain finger-rings were worn by the
poorer class of Egyptians. Such as
have been preserved in the British
museum, London, are Of extreme
beauty. Some are of blue porce-
lain with a band of not more than
one-eighth of an inch in thickness,
yet small as they are they bear two
impressions.
From Egypt and the East rings
were introduced to Greece, where
they were worn by all free men as
insignia of office or for ornament.
From the Greeks the Romans adopt
ed the custom. but by them rings
were worn more as luxuries, and be
came very common. To so great an
excess did the Romans carry this
practice that they had summer rings
and winter rings. the former being
heavier and thicker than the latter.
Roman gems were sought and highly
valued for mystic virtues attributed
TO them.

Reddy. Il guess we can spare all that
fellow can take from u.s." Then she
changed the subject and left Reddy to
wonder why she seemed so little con-
cerned about this newcomer. AS for
the stranger, he paid no attention to
anyone. If he noticed that he was
given no welcome he apparently didn't
care. He just simply went about
his business and didn't NEEDLE in
the affairs of anyone else. After
while his neighbors noticed that
his business seemed always &C lake
him In the direction of the Big
River. He never visited the Old Or

bothered anyone. There wasn't sim
gle thing that could be brought against
him save that he was member of the

If he was a member of the Hawk FAM

that he learned the truth about the

wanted. Afterward-well, afterward

AFTERNOON TEAS

THE cool afternoons in late winter
L and early spring offer splendid OPP
portunities for afternoon teas and Eat
homes" Nothing could be more at
tractive than -four feet on a fender"
with cup Of tea to drown all cares.
One of the nice things about an
afternoon tea, is that everything but
the tea may be prepared beforehand.
There is no hurried, worried hostess
when entertaining in a simple manner.
There is no burned roast or roasted
hostess to detract from the pleasure
of enjoying ones friends.
These should be five or six kinds of
sandwiches, to meet all tastes. Max
ing them in different shapes and the
color combinations always appeal to
the eye.
Here are two suggestions for sand
wiches:
Open-Faced Sardine Sandwiches.
Drain twelve medium-sized sardines.
remove skin, tails and bones. Pound
to a paste with two tablespoonfuls of
lemon juice. Cream two tablespoon
fuls of butter, add one teaspoonful of
minced parsley. salt, pepper and
cayenne to taste. Add TO the sardine
mixture and spread on thin spices of
rye bread. Mix three hard-coOked egg
yolks with little mayonnaise and
make a border around the edge of
each sandwich. A slice of stuffed
olive in the center of each makes an
attractive touch.
