Valuable Lesson Seen in
Unpaid War Loans

The way Of the transgresSor may be hard, but IL
isn't nearly as tough as the way Of the c~onfiding gen.
tleman who has loaned vast sums Of money to a
bunch Of dead-beats who have no intention Of paying
II you need any further enlightenment on that
subject, apply at the Treasury Department in Wash
ington. Officials there have Just sent out bills for
slightly more than S155, 900 To y foreign nations
and they have not the slightest expectation OF get
ting more than an unimportant fraction Of the money.
The bills, as you probably don't need to be told, are
for sums due on the war debts. and the unimportant
fraction that will be paid will come from Finland.
where they seem TO have absurd Od-fashioned notions
about the duties of a debtor.
For the rest. Uncle Sam nov has his one-time
allies on the cuff for approximately $4,000, 100000.
and as the years 60 by Uncle sam comes more and
more to understand the feelings Of the country gentle
man who has invested his lifetime savings in some
city slicker's machine for making nice new dollar
bills. He just isn't going to get his money back, and
in this day OF unbalanced budgets he could use it very
handily.
All this is a good thing for Us to remember. in these
days when Europe seems to Be winding itself up for
a new war.
The last war cost us a great many things. including
the lives Of some 10000 Of our finest young men: but
these war debts, although they are as dead as a
sailed herring. are a stll living reminder Of the fact
that going to war nowadays is a mugg's game in
which every player is bound 70 lose his shirt.
We could use those u billions, but we wouldn't feel
no badly about their loss II they had actually bought
anything useful. AT the time we laid them out, we
supposed that was going to be the case. The war was
being fought to preserve democracy, to make peace
safe. to rescue civilization itself; and 70 or any con-
ceivable number OF billions would be a cheap price
TO pay for such boons.
But the war did none Of those things. Instead, II
sometimes seems to have dealt a death blow to the
very things It was supposed to preserve; and the
money is gone forever along with the dreams We
dreamed when We laid # on the line. The only thing
we can do nov Is charge 4 up to education.
But the education, az least. Is worth having. If and
when this new war starts IN Europe we can remem-
Der, among other things those - billions-and take
firm resolve that nothing on earth will persuade us
TO send any more men. ships or money overseas.

Stubborn Problem

One Of the oldest things about the present improve
ment in business conditions is the fact that employ
ment is reviying faster than the relief rolls are
shrinking.
In the city Of Cleveland. for instance, unemploy-
ment dropped from 10000 on October l to $500 on
November /, making the number Of unemployed small
er than it has been at any time since 1880. Yet the
relief rolls are showing no corresponding s~hrinkage.
Counting WPA employees as relief clients. Cleveland
had a reduction Of only 3.4OO in its relief lists during
the period when the number Of unemployed was re-
duced by more than 1900.
This seems to indicate that our relief problem
will lag with us for some time after our industrial
conditions have got nearly back to normal.
We shall still be caring for the casualties Of the
depression after the depression has been finally de-
feated.

viii hit its fun stride in 1886. with U.s. 100000 Seeding
trees to be planted along a 1.4OO-mile stretch Of land
running from Texas to the Canadian line.
In addition. the u. S. Forest Service and the CCC
are going ahead with a program which in 1885 has al
ready resulted in setting out 22O.OOO.OOO young trees
in our national forests.
All in all, it is a great program. After having wasted
his forest heritage for decades, Uncle Sam is at last
taking effective steps to preserve it.

and amylase, which digests the starches. This secre-
ton IS alkaline. while that from the stomach IS acid.
Foods containing starches which are not com
pletely digested in the stomach are broken up in the
duodenum into sugars that can be absorbed. The
fats are split up in the duodenum into fatty acids.
When they combine with alkaline salts. fatty acids
form soaps.
One Of the s%ecretions that helps digest fats is the
bile, which comes into the duodenum from the liver
and the gallbladder. When bile and pancreatic Juice
are mixed, they digest fats very rapidly.
Secretions from glands Of the ~intestines contain
ferments which also aid in preparing food for abb

which comes from our foods Is absorbed into the
