GRADUATION COSTS

Do the expenses (which must be in
Cured by the graduating classes o
high schools and other institutions
deter some families from putting
their children through the final veal
of these courses? It has been saiC
in some places that some parents
take their children. particularly theiI
daughters out of such schools be-
cause it costs too much to pay these
graduating bills.
These girls have to play the part
of the sweet girl graduate" That
may call for some nice dresses. and
many extras in the form of dance
tickets. flowers. class day festivities,
rings. souvenirs. photographs, etc.
In many places these charges mount
up to a considerable bill.
The public schools are democratic
institutions where every effort is
made to offer opportunities equally
to all. If the girls of a graduating
class are going in for swell clothes
and for costly festivities, the girl
from the small income family may
feel neglected and unhappy if she
can't do the expensive things the
others do. The expenses which boys
are supposed to incur at such times
for their girl friends may mount up
too high. particularly in college fes-
tivities.
In many schools the graduating
class makes the wise decision to
dress inexpensively. Plans are made
to have the social program handled
in simple way. Such plans must
be a comfort and aid to every family
that is hard pressed financially, but
which wants its boys and girls to
stand on an equality with the rest.
School authorities and teachers al
most always prefer simple gradua-
tions. and want to make it easy for
the families of small means. Some
times the young people won't con-
sent to these arrangements. Many
of them want to make a spread at |
and have a grand blow
out for once. The true democratic |
principle calls for simplicity. It

avoid display. and to make it easy

An even bigger problem, Secretary

100000. Add this to the farm popu-
latiOn also dependent on foreign buy
ing, and you have close to 11.O00, 900
people whose economic security
hinges on fereign trade.
Anyone with a workable answer
to the question of how foreign trade
may be increased, would certainly
be a national Observation-Disclosures
nately, no one has the answer, and
experts differ greatly in their theO-
ries. Certain things are obvious,
hOweveT-sueh as the problem of
tariffs. and the eternal question of
how American workers are to be
protected from cheap-labOr foreign
competition. The State Department
under Secretary Hull has sought to
increase foreign business through
reciprocal trade agreements with a
number of powers, of which Canada
is the most important, and some
progress has been made. But its
still a tough situation.
The United States News points out
something that is not generally real

imported materials must be process

transported and distributed. This
requires labor. and a lot Of il.

MEANING OF THE FLAG

June 18th is observed as Flag
Day." On that day in the year 1777,
Congress passed a resolution declar-
ing that the flag of the United States
should consist of IS red and white
stripes. and that Is white stars be
placed in the blue square at the cor
ner. Now the glorious Is original
states have expanded to 4S common
wealths, most of them much younger
in history, but all glorious in their
attachment to American principles.
A national flag is like a keepsake
which friends give to each other as
a suggestion of their love. In old
times. it was very customary for
lock Of a persons hair to be thus
presented. In modern days, rings,
lockets, pins, and many other pieces
of jewelry, photographs, ETC., and
countless other things are presented
for some such reason.
When the bridegroom gives the
bride a ring. it is offered as token
Of love, a reminder of the giver when
he is absent. Any keepsake which
one friend gives to another signifies
that the giver and the receiver are
united in bonds Of deep attachment.

TERRORISTIC MOYEMENTS

From time to time movements OBJ
tain some degree of power which
seek to exercise influence by rough
and violent methods. They set up
the claim that they desire to right
wrongs. remove evils. avert national
perils, punish the guilty. The eOun-
try suffers so much from so many
wrong things. that many worthy peO-
pie may be induced to join such
movements.
Such manifestations also are apt
to encourage religious and race con-
fict. and divide into hostile camps
the people who should work har-
moniously for the common good.
When people use force and VIC
lence, they let loose a power that be-
comes extremely dangerous. So
there are charges that this or that
group seeks to accomplish its ends
by terrOrizing it's victims. 1t is al

Such methods may be tolerated in

THE GRADUATING GLASSES

A vast army of young folks il
gathering from schools and colleges
this month, full of energy, ambition
and ideas. The relatives and friends
crowd into the halls where these
young folks make their final bow to
their school life.
1t was once customary for such
graduates, on leaving their institu-
tiOns of learning. to present essays
or OratiOns in which they gave their
views about life or discussed liter
airy and other subjects. 1t might be
compared to a show of trained ami
mails, in which the crowds are as
founded by the cleverness of the
tricks these educated creatures per-
form.
So when We hear the graduates ex-
press their wise thoughts and reveal
their learning. the audiences are
astOunded to see how much the mod
ern young person knows, and how
fast he or she has grown. mentally
as well as physically. The old Gus
tom of essays and orations by grad
yates has been discontinued in many
of these institutions. but it was al
ways a drawing feature that attract |
ed many to these exercises.
Hopeful and ardent views about
life are expressed when the grad
yates tell what they think. 1t looks
to them as if reforming the world
would be rather simple thing. They
can see that if people would only be
fair, unselfish and kind. all conflicts
and problems would be solved. They
used to feel confident that the
world could be shown how wonder
fully it would pay to be good.
Alas. the world is not easily turn
ed upside down. 1t could cure all
its troubles by adhering to the gold {
EN- rule. as many of our idealistic {
young folks see and point out in [
their graduating essays. But the s
old Adam still controls most of us, I
and it refuses to take this short cut

ECONOMIC HICHLICHTS
Happenings That Affect Dinner Pals,
Dividend Checks and Tax Bills
Of Every individual

Lost foreign trade of the United
States would have paid the Federal
relief BILL says a headline in the
United States News. That's a start
ling statement-but figures prove it.
In 1884, value of exports of United
States products to foreign countries
was more than $3,30O.OOO,OOO under
the record 1929 level-and the Fed
eral government spent over $780,
100000 on relief In 1885, the relief
bill was S3,1SS,0O0, 000-and the loss
in foreign trade from the 1929 figure
was $3,252, 100000. Estimates hold
that this year our foreign trade loss
as compared with the greatest of the
boom years will be about $3,0OO.000,-
OOO--almOst precisely what the U. S.
Treasury is going to pay out in re-
lief. ..-
Thus, for the three-year period,
our lost foreign trade totals approx
mately $4,000. 100000 and relief
cost the taxpayers of the country
around $500, 100000 in the same Pc
riOd. Had we been able to keep for
eign trade on the 1929 level during
depression, we could have paid the
entire cost of Federal relief out of
the receipts, and had the neat sum of
a billion-and-a-half left over for
other purposes.
OF course. nothing could have en-
abled us to maintain our trade at
that leYel-the worldwide depres-
sion, coupled with general uncer-
tainty in Europe, currency wars and
fluctuations and other monetary dis
turbances, tariffs and embargoes,
were responsible for most of the
loss. The domestic AAA program is
believed by many to have been a fac
tor in reducing agricultural exports.
though friends of the AAA say that
we couldn't have found markets for
our surplus even if crop reductions
had never been put into effect. r.
respective of that, the cold statistics /
show cOnclusively that the welfare |
of a number of big industries, and a |
vast amount of employment, hinges !
on foreign trade. 4

plete figures are available. Depart ,

that this country has sent abroad
half of the cotton crop. twO-thirds of

than 20 per cent of radios. These
items are simply samples. \

Association, reported few days ago
that 776l4 members had joined the
1886 Christmas Savings Clubs con-
Quoted by 1s Washington banks which
opened for enrollmentS on December
! and closed in mid-January. His re-
port also showed that aggregate SUBJ
scriptions totaled $6,332,9l5.
The number of members in the 1886
clubs compares with 66.154 in 1885. a
gain this year of 10.460 over the 1885
record, while this years subscriptions
compare with $5,279,575 a year ago.
or a gain in 1886 of $l,053,34O IN
pledges. Both figures indicate not
able and healthy growth in thrift In
the Capital in recent weeks, or during
the period the clubs were open Tor
new members.
The amount pledged per capita IS
about double the sums subscribed by
members of similar clubs conducted
by other banks all over the United
States. This has been true in the
CAPITAL for years, cooperative adver-
tisins boosting interest in Yule clubs
here more than in any other section
OF the country.
Growth of the Christmas Saving
Club idea in Washington over perlod
of 10 or IL years is astonishing. Botn
the number Joining the clubs and the
amounts subscribed have furnished
many surprises. This years happy re-
suits caused a good deal of comment
among bankers as the amount OF in
terest paid is very low. This fact in
dicates that club members are largely
concerned in having cash on hand Tor
holiday requirements, regardless OF
interest rates. The record IN 1886
shows over $50 pledged per men,
her. against an average for the United
States of s42 per member.
Christmas savings clubs are 26
years old this year. In Washington
the first clubs were opened by indi-
vidual banks around 1912. The CO.
operative plan of advertising did not
start until 1924. Since that time the
interest has grown steadily. The
high point in the Capital was reached
in 1882 when 102,246 subscribers
pledged a total of s8689,575.
The figures just announced reveal
an upward trend toward the former
subscription records. BY far the
larger proportion of these savings is
used for Christmas purchases, an es-
innate by Washington bankers being
about 42 per cent. For permanent
savings and investment, about 26 per
cent is used, while for year-end COM
mitments per cent, and for taxes IL
per cent. Other uses include mort
gage interest, insurance premiums,
education, travel and charity.
Comparisons Reveal Thrift.
A glance backward presents vivid
picture of the grip the Christmas
savings clubs have obtained on Capt.
tai residents. Since 1924 the num-
Der of members and the amounts sub
scribed each year have been as fol-
lows:
