Log Cabin Syrup has just the right

delicious maple flavor. And as a result
the cakes simply fall apart at the

To achieve this consistency and fla

People must have enthusiasm.
People must burn about some
thing; must have something in
their lives which will keep
them excited, and eager, and
proud, when all other interests
fail. Without enthusiasm, hui
man spirits die as surely as
human stomachs die without
food.
Why is America in such a
bad way? Why is this depres-
sion doing worse things to us
than any depression has ever
done before? Why does the fu-
ture still seem so hopeless, in
spite of the billions poured into
the breach? :.
Is it because we have built
too many machines; put our
selves too much in the power
of machines? Is it because
we've lacked a practical, ma
tion-wide plan for production
and distribution? Is it because
greedy capitalism has run
amuck?
No. All these causes have
contributed. And, bad as they
are, they could be cured. But
something deeper than that ails
us.

For she hath learned, in her

beauty may be only skin deep,
masculine VANITY goeth to
the backbone and softenth it.
A damsel demandeth a "pol-
ished" man; but a widow
seeketh first a regular man"
and guaranteeth to apply the
polish according to her own

A damsel longeth for a hus-

also so or 40, or even IS, re-
member how we once felt about
America? Do you remember
how we believed in America?
Do you remember the flaming
pride, the solid sense of secur-
ity which was ours when we
compared America with the
rest of the world?
Often enough our pride was
childishly foolish and, in our
conceit, we betrayed ourselves.
Yet, in the long run, that
enthusiasm sustained us; saved
us, in spite of our blunders,
fired us to greatness.
That is what enthusiasm did
for us. That is what it does
for every young nation. Never
yet was a nation founded save
on enthusiasm. People can't
found nations merely by divid-
ing lands and signing cove
nants. They must go a little
mad. Believe in impossibilities.
Flame to visions. Then they
can do anything. Look at
Italy! Look at Russia! We
were like that once.
Then something happened to
us. Gradually our faith faded.
Now we are cold inside. We
no longer flame at the thought
Of America. We know too
much about twentieth century
Americanism.
We doubt and sneer; aban-
don ourselves to despair and
indifference. Some try to
arouse us by intellectual dis
cussions. Some offer maWkish,
patriotic platitudes. But it
is all in vain. We have lost
our enthusiasm for America.
We must get it back!
We must now revive, delib-
erately, that which we once
felt spontaneously.
WE MUST ONCE MORE
BELIEVE IN AMERICA.
For America is worth believ-
. ing in. Yes, there is weakness
in us-and viciousness. But
there is also beauty and
strength, and the noblest ideal
of freedom and equality that
ever entered the human heart
or BRAIN.
It is we'll to know Of our
own weakness. 1t was childish
to deny that we had weak
ness. But 1t is equally child
like to believe that there is
nothing but weakness.
Worry about jobs. Read
up on the new plans. Do all
the practical things which are
now so necessary. But also do
that thing which is most nee
essary of all IN

You have been looking at the

If you have had a job you
think of the amount of money
which has passed into it, and
right out of it, in the last year.
AS you do a little figuring,
you wonder how you could have
spent so much and have so lit
tie to show for it.
The money has vanished

mostly in small outlays.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

A damSel yearneth for a lover
who will never deceive her: but
a widow prayeth only to find one
man that will SUCCEED in de-
ceiving her. For, in the light Of
her experience, she knoweth that
they will all TRY.
A damsel looketh only to see
if a mans features be regular
and his hair wavy and his dance
steps the latest; but a widow
preferreth one whose hours are
regular. whose morals are
straight and whose dancing is
not so perfect as to endear him
to sub-debs and husband-snatch-
erS.
A damsel seeketh to be scin.
tillating and a1luring and daz-
zling: but a widow is content to
be comforting and sympathetic
and amusing.
For she knoweth that q man
who perceiveth wave of emo
tion about to break over him will
dodge it: but companionability
is an undertow which carryeth
him out toward the sea of matri"
mony before he hath sus-
pected 1t.
A damsel saith: Darling, tell
me the WHOLE truth! But a

THE Preparatory Eco
= nomic Commission h as
unanimously adopted a pre-
iminary agends for the
forthcoming Economic Con-
ference, and one gathers
that the topic uppermost in
the minds of the men who
framed it is the one that
does not appear in tn e
agenda at all. The debts
are not included in the for
NAL statement, but in an ex-
planatory statement we get
this:
"It is essential that this
question be settled (the debt
question: Until there is
such a settlement, or the
definite prospect Of such a
settlement, these debts will
remain an insuperable bar
rier to economic and finan-
cial reconstruction. We
therefore attach thu greatest
Importance to the early
resumption and successful
conclusion Of negotiations
upon this problem.
We may be sure that all
the debtor nations would
have liked to have included
the debts in the genda and
that the failure to include
them is due to the indisposi-
tion of the United States to
sit down in a conference
with all the debtors working
in close cooperation against
her to transfer their debts
to her. To that, and to the
position Of Mr.. Roosevelt
that any reconsideration Of
these debts must be made
separately. Under the cir
cumstances it might have
been more diplomatic to
have refrained from making
the supplementary report.
So often the main thing in
tended is put in parenthesis.

Mr.. Roosevelt, in Wash
ington, in conference with
party leaders, is said to have
insisted that the party carry
out its pledge to the people
on the prohibition question
-scrupulously. It made a
pledge. 1t made this pledge
without equivocation. Moth.
ing created more respect
for, and confidence in, the
party during the recent cam
paign than the plain blunt
words it used in setting
forth its views upon a ques-
tion with which for years
politicians have played fast
and loose. It adopted its
declaration by an overwhelm-
ing majority in its conven-
tion. No responsible spokes-
man sought to twist or re-
pudiate it in the course Of
the campaign. It was an
honest, open, manly fight;
and the people put the party
in power on its pledges.
They expect it to be honest.
If it signalizes it's advent to
power by the repudiation Of
it's pledge it forfeits public
confidence in the beginning.

Gov. Lehman Is o
Practical Man

Practical Man
Infinite good may reason
ably come from the Economic
Conference a few months
hence. Meanwhile we have
pressing problems Of a purely
domestic sort that must be
faced. It should be a source
Of qualification to friends Of
the public school system to
find that Governor Lehman
coldly received the sugges-
tion of the New York State
Economic Council, Inc, that
he agree to a further cut in
State aid to the public
schools in various localities.
He was clearly not impressed
with the light and airy sug-
gestion that the salaries of
the teachers be cut again.
There is a type Of "|practi-
cal" man who cannot under
stand why a school teacher
should receive as much as the
man who washes the windows
in his factory or store, There
are other common sense"
people who cannot imagine
why it is not more important
that they be made COM
Portable riding on the high
way than that the children of
this country should be prop
erly educated at the public
expense. A certain kind of
politician, called upon to re-
duce costs Of government,
will always turn to the
schools for the victim. And
then there are a few Of us
who feel that the schools
should be the last thing to be
touched, and when touched
by necessity, touched as
lightly as possible.
It is comfortable to know
that Governor Lehman, a
practical man himself, with
as much interest in economic
rehabilitation as any one, is
unwilling to impair the pub
lie school system. He knows
that under present condi-
tions if the State reduces it's
assistance to the localities
for schools, the loss cannot
be made up by the locali-
ties; that the inevitable eff
feet must be to impair the
efficiency Of the schools,
and penalize the teachers
who are the most useful
public servants in the land
today. Thus the enlightened
policy toward the schools
begun by Smith and con-
tinued by Roosevelt will not
be changed by Lehman. It
is q position Of which the
latter may well be proud in
the years to come,

Mrs. solomon says
Go to, my Daughter. Where.

And wherefore is it easier for a

a reason. And who can deny
that a woman's second mar
