A ND all the time, the debt installments came

Some customers have written to suggest that the
United States should have slapped attachment
on the Normande when she came to New York and
held her a payment on the debt but they do not
consider what that would mean. The old Leviathan

rife rate for years because nobody has the initiative

An alarming thing occurred though when the

the French president, left check for $500 as an
official gift to American charity.
France has had many troubles in the last Il
years and this unusual act may indicate that great
nation has gone crazy from it all.

WE human beings are peculiar in that We can

These disturbances sometimes result from emo

There are some very interesting examples. A As
yesr-old woman had been troubled with the feeling
that there was a lump in her throat. Investigation
revealed this impression had developed at time
when there was some doubt whether she had tumor

When she WIS convinced that no actual change
in the throat had occurred, the womans mentaI
symptoms disappeared.
An unusual number OF these mental illnesses

A ROLLING stone gathers
no moss. Neither do
we.
Every day we play a diff
ferent town, leaving Racine
or Wildwood or Ravenswood
or whatever the place may
be at ) o'clock in the morn
ing to avoid the strong
winds that come later in the
day.
You can lie in bed as the boat
pushes along upstream and say
TO yourself. L wonder what it'll
be like today?"
Will the hills be high and near
or will they be way off in the
distance? Sometimes when we've
anchored in a small town. you'd
think it was new country, en-
tirely uninhabited. One railroad
track and three or four lonesome
looking houses are all you can see.
Yet We always have a full house.
People come for miles from way
back in those hills.
The coffee won't be served in
cups this morning. because the
boat is moving and coffee would
spill all over the place 1t will
be served in cereal dishes and.
believe me, 1t takes skill 20 drink
from a cereal dish.

~ ing room is so animated that
you can't stand watching scenery

ing about Princess lola. who had

and stands there singing, Just

ton" till the boat gives nudge
on shore. Then he runs like
lightning. because he knows he
ought to be out there tying ropes.
Pomeroys main street runs par
allel to the river, with a row of
two and three-story buildings
backed by straight. high cliffs.
Smaller streets wind of in the
distance between the hills.
The first thing you see in any
town is the I. o. o. F. hall, and
Pomeroy is no exception. We also
see a sign saying. Hair Cut sc.

on board. A black cat coming on
a boat is the best kind of luck.
Ten or IL kids stand on shore
and holler at any of us who
come within sight. They would
like to pass handbills, for free
tickets to the show.
The first thing to do is to play
the calliope. and to watch the
people come popping out of the
houses along the shore. "Oh. You
Nasty Man" and Stay as Sweet
as You Are" sound best of all.

But you have to stuff cotton in
your ears if you're going to stand
that near.
I started out brayely enough,
but the only noise that resulted
was one loud piercing shrek.
Ninety pounds Of pressure behind
each note-no wonder calliope
players are hard to find.
We do our usual shopping dur
ing the afternoon. and enjoy look
ing az the notices in the postoffice.
THE postmaster says the mail
IL will be in in 10 minutes If the
train isn't late. Several miners
with lights on their caps stand
around, waiting.
Then We go into another store
and buy two magazines. Well take
turns reading them till every one
has had a whack.
Last year when the shOwboaters
played Pomeroy one of the &C
tresses got married on the stage.
The only trouble was that the
audience thought the girl should
have married the best man.
They showed how they felt in no
uncertain terms, by loud clapping
and booing. The minister didn't
believe in SHOWS of any kind, al
though he did believe in mar
riages. so he said he hoped he was
doing right.
The boys went out in the skiff to
see if they could get near some of
the wild ducks that are always
flying up in front of the boat.
Guess it was a pretty good thing
they did. too.
We were driving Annie nearly
crazy, standing in the kitchen
talking about eating oysters, and
Tommy was practicing his Rus
sian dance, and Bud was singing,
Just like the ocean, she's got the
motion" and the rest of us we're
trying to decide how many SIS in
Massachusetts,.
WE saw a live horse today.
w P. S.-The horse is an ami
NAL now almost extinct, primitive
forerunner of the old Model t.
Horses were peculiar in that they
lived on oats instead of gasoline.
Before you know it, the time
has come for another show. 1t
goes over well The audience
claps and whistles.
Something always happens. Dur
ing the second act a member Of
the audience in one of the boxes
looks out the open window and
sees a friend. The plays going on,
but he waves his arm and hollerS,
Hi. Hank; how are ya?"
Hank says he's fine. Say,
Hank" his friend yells again at
the top of his voice, "how's crops?"
The actors have to raise their
voices till the conversation comes
to an end. Then the theater re-
Sumes its normal tone and no
BODY blinks an eye.
Three miles an hour-this is the
way to travel. Sitting in the sun

- Europe repudiating. Her
technical position remains
much better the way it is. She
can go on from year to year, and
decade to decade, admitting the
debts validity, but pleading that
she can't pay unless and until the
amount is vastly reduced.
Tomorrow's and next Deem
ber's installments should bring the
United States about 375 million
dollars. They will not bring 375
thousand dollars. Save for Fin
land, the impasSe remains abSo-

Radical reduction, economists
insist, is imperative if payments
are ever to be resumed. The al
ternate is to accept payment in
goods, something Congress has
never even considered. Cash pay
ments can only be made out of
favorable trade balances. For
several years these have gone
steadily against the debtor ma
tons while America continues to
export more than she imports.

hours in the Senate recently. Only
a handful of his colleagues list
ened to his logic, most of them
using the interlude for lunch.
President Roosevelt, of course,
could change all this. He could
ask Congress for authority to
reach new understanding with
Europe. President Hoover pro-
posed just before he left Office
that Congress authorize new war
debt commission to handle this
job. But Mr.. Roosevelt has held
that no such commission is needed
that he himself has power to ne
gotiate and submit the results to
Capitol Hill And so he has. Po-
litical leaders here, however, say
he would be risking the fate of
Woodrow Wilson, Americas re-
pudiated negotiator at Versailles.
Most of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee privately admit
that the war debts as they stand
are uncollectable. That being said,
their views are as wide apart as
the poles. Some would settle for
whatever on the dollar it was
found practicable to get. Others
insist that if Europe can't or won't
pay, she should simply be left to
bear the blame and shame of re-
pudiation.
