It's NObOdy's Business

I DO think it monstrous that the community

ready later years to shake accusing fingers at the
two who broke them. Properly speaking, marriage
is nObOdy's business except that Of the two people
concerned and incidentally of the minister mag
istrate If there must be additional witness he
ought to be blind and dumb.
In far it is possible, marriage should be
kept secret for the first year az any rate Or even
If it isn't precisely secret why earth does every
body for miles around have to know about it? And
this is not Greenwich Village or the younger gen.
Grafton speaking. Nature has sanctioned discretion
and privacy for animals of order who are not
supposed to be any more sensitive than human
beings.
Again and again in advice" columns I find young
husbands and young wives informed that they must
not do something other because 1t will cause
gossip among the neighborS" Now there is no rea-
son why man should assume new and
complex responsibilities to the whole community the
instant they marry. I think the responsibilities
they assume toward each other should be vigorously
limited. Marriage is not a miracle. Neither party
is transformed by the ceremony and so there should
be no expectation in any quarter that the lives of
the two concerned will be radically different from
their previous course.

physician and surgeon.
new device, the photelometer employs the cleo
trio eye as means of diagnosing jaundce and other
ailments Of the liver and gall bladder. 1t was de-
scribed before the American Chemical Society meet
in in New York by its inventor, Dr. Arnold E Oster-
berg chief of the department of clinical biochemis-
try at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Mimi
DR.. Osterberg explained how the electric eve is
able to see the amount and nature Of liver damage
things which hitherto have been hidden from the
eye of the medical man, and how it enables doc
Tor 10 keep exact cnecK on the patents progress.
These things read in the photelometer upon an
electric meter not unlike the ammeter upon an
automobiles dashboard.
IN jaundice and certain other hillary diseases. the
Il bile pigment, bilirUbin, collects in the blood
stream. This pigment is manufactured by the liver
and concentrated in the gall bladder from where it
enters the intestines through the bile duct.
In one form Of jaundce there is an obstruction
of the bile duct due TO a stone. This causes the
pigment to accumulate until it gets into the blood
stream. In other forms of jaundce associated with
various types Of anemisS, there is splitting of the
red blood cells as well as the appearance Of the bile
pigment in the bloodstream In this case, however,
it takes slightly different chemical form.
CHEMICAL methods have been known in the
~ past which reveal the presence Of these two
forms of pigment in sample Of blood by converting
them into a red dye
What Dr. Osterberg's machine does is to deter
mine the exact amount Of each form Of the pigment
present Researches have shown that the deeper the
color of the dye. the greater the Of pigment
present. In the past medical have had to guess
from the color how much pigment was present
In the photelometer, a light shines through the
blood sample into photo-eectric cell An electric
current is generated which is proportional to the
amount Of light which gets through. This current
registers upon the electric meter
Dr. Osterberg said he anticipated that the instru-
ment would be applied also in making other clinical
determinations, for example the amount Of sugar
present in the blood in diabetes the amount Of crea
tinn present in the blood in Brights disease, and

You might as we'll keep on
pouring water into a bowl and
then try to keep the bowl from
overlooking by regulation and
making rules. The way to prevent
the bowl from overlooking is not
to pour the water in.
How. then, is the war to be
paid for? The Senate commit
tee has decided that we must pay
for it as we go along, out of our
current revenues. We must pay
cash for the next war. And the
government must get the cash by
taxing.
DUT if the government col
I'D lects billions in taxes and
spends them, will this not produce
war initiation just as if we spent
borrowed money?
When you spend borrowed
money, you add money borrowed
to the existing income and swell
the dependable funds of the ma
ton. When you tax, you merely
shift existing income from peace
purposes to war purposes.
In the Great War the initiation
began before we entered the war
AS Germany crossed the Belgian
frontier, every boat that landed
here from Europe brought the
purchasing agents of the European
war machines.
They came with cash at first
money drawn from their own peo-
pie by taxes and borrowing. Then
they began to borrow from us. In
1915 England and France bor-
rowed $250,000,000 through the
Morgans. Thereafter, and before
we began to fight, England bor-
roWed another billion dollars in
this country and France borrowed
$436,000,000. Russia borrowed
$1O200O,OOO. Canada borrowed
$110,00O,00O from our people.
A TOGETHER before we en-
4 n tered the war, European
and other governments raised
$4,000, 100000 here. They bor-
rowed $2,4O0,OOO,OOO on bonds.
They recaptured 81 ,9O0,0O0,0OO by
selling American securities owned
in Europe.
All of this and much more was
spent in this country. When we
entered the war the initiation was
in full blast. Cur $4,000, OO00,0 900
piled on that blew us up to the
bursting point.
The full fury of the pre-war
initiation came in 1916. In fact
prices had risen so high then that
very soon they began to fall Of
their own weight. Steel prices
had risen $40 per cent.
They were actually falling when
the government began to try to
check prices. 1t has been charged
that the government really kept
steel prices from going lower.
We tried price fixing during

the war. In view of the enormous
rise which had already taken
place, it should have been easy
to check the rise, if such process
were feasible at all.
But the prices continued to
soar. In many lines the high
est prices were reached after we
began price fixing. Cotton goods
We're at a price index of 1871
before price fixing. After price
fixing they were 255. Coal at 100
before price fixing scared to BOT
a full year after. Wool was 208
before price fixing. 1t reached
its highest point after at 200.
These are but few instances.
TINE men who managed price
Il fixing were criticised. They
certainly might have done better.
But they were really helpless, 1t
was like trying to hold back the
sea. The billions kept pouring in.

In those 142 years Eng
land has fought many more
wars - against Napoleon,
against America in 1912,
against Russia, against the
Beers. In the long years Of
comparative peace from
1915 to 1855 and then in the
Al years following the Rus
sian War, England kept
paying off yearly large
sums on those debts.
But the best she could do was
to settle her bills for old wars from
1768-over 10 years before-down
to 1898. In other words, in 1914
about the last war she had paid
for was the American Revolution
In 1914 she owed over $3,00C,-
.000-almost every penny of It
contracted to fight battles all over
the world during the preceding
120 years. Then in 1914 she began
to pile upon that another
THIRTY-FOUR BILLION DOL
LAR debt. In the last Is years
she has paid off some of these
charges. But she still owes $32,-
900 100000. How long before that
century-old career of war and
conquest will be paid for?
At the end of the Great War
the United States owed over
TWENTY-FIVE BILLION DOL
LARS. With the exception of a
small sum-perhaps two or three
hundred millions, it was all owed
for three warS-the Civil War; the
Spanish American War and the
Great War.
THIS is the history of nearly
Il every government. From
1853 to 1000 period of 1872 years
Great Britain had borrowed
only about $8O.OO0,O00 in peace
times. The balance of her vast
debt was the fruit of wars.
Now if you want to know what
mainly produces those dangerous
storms and currents, referred to
in the last article. in our economi-
ic life during wars-snd after
them-there is the answer. War
borrowing.
The Senate bill to take the
profits out Of war is a plan to
prevent financing wars out of
loans.
The House has passed a meas
ure called the McSwain bill,
which is based on a different the
DRY. It proposes to take the prof
its out of war by attempting to
keep prices down.
1t is based on Mr.. Bernard Ba-
ruch's recommendations. Mr..
Baruch was chairman of the War
Industries Board during the
Great War. And in that job Mr..
Baruch formed theories about the
problem of war profits which are
found in the McSwain bill.
Mr.. Baruch's theory is that the
way to stop prohteering is to re-
strain prices. Mr.. Baruch saw
prices soaring in the last war.
These outrageous price rises re-
suited in big earnings, swollen
dividends, high wages and the
whole inflationary movement
