Foreign Money
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
Although mild efforts have been made to check
it. the flow of foreign funds into the American money
and security markets has gone on at dizzy pace.
In the first six months of 1887 foreigners added almost
billion dollars to their capital holdings in the United
States bringing the total of foreign funds here TO
about S9000000000 Much of this can rightly be
described as 'hot money" meaning funds which can
be withdrawn readily psychology changes with dis
astrous results in the American security markets.
1t is complimentary to our stability this inflow
of short-term funds. And it speeds the process OF
recovery certain respects But in the by and large
it is an unfortunate trend and ought somehow to be
checked France has virtually stopped the outward
movement of short-term money but the movement
from England Switzerland, and other countries has
continued
Conversations with British Treasury official now
in progress may bring about some degree OF control
from the other side of the Atlantic. But in all pro-
liability it will be necessary to impose new penaltes
here Additional taxes the profits OF foreign IN
vestments are the most positive method This runs
counter to the current American doctrine OF I'M
hampered trade and financial operations across ma
tona frontiers. But if foreigners collective faith
in our economic future is great as to create a
hazard to that future have choice but to raise
a barrier against the unwelcome funds.

The New Vigilantism
New York World-T telegram


The American League Against War and FaSclsm
announces the formation of national committee TO
investigate the spread of "vgilantism in industrial
communities, with hearings by panel OF citizen IN
vestigators headed by Bishop Francis j. Mcconnell
of the Methodist Church. and containing the names
of other prominent Americans. 1t is also reported
that the Department of Justice may cooperate with
the La Toilette Civil Liberties Committee to shed light
this evil.
Law-loving Americans will cheer these announce
healthy public reaction against such extra
legal activities paradng under the cloak OF patriotism
Vigantism's current manifestations are differ
from those of pioneer days in the Far West There
it grew from the desperation of citizens over the
absence of law Today in troubled industrial areas
called upon to organize secretly TO break
strikes drum labor organizers out OF town. Last
winter vigilance committee in Seattle undertook to
break waterfront strike with these instructions
Temper your severity to suit the occasion and II
forced to fight don't forget that nothing SO swiftly
sickens a mob of its course as stomach wrenchlng,
sou-sickenng brutality swiftly fearessy and judici-
ally applied.
We have no need for viglantism of any kind in
this country If the laws inadequate to protect
life and property make adequate laws. II
officers of the fail to enforce these laws we have
ways of providing better officers
The quickest and surest way to kill these self
appointed bodies is to expose them.

imply that gifts were expected?

SO. You can emphasize to your
friends that it is not shower. Or,
you can give the party in the eve
ming and invite men also; this.
should relieve the merest suspicion
that it is in any form of a shower.
@. Is it rude for a woman to
criticise her husband in the pres
ence Of guests?
A. Yes A well-bred woman will
never do so.
@. Where should one give an
after theatre supper?

Sentiment for Foot Clinics
Growing, Says D. c. Specialist
DR.. Gusts Lee Hall Cites
Figures on Defects in
Civic Talks.

Public sentiment is growing in the
District for the periodic examination
Of feet Of school children. according
to DR.. Gusts Lee Hall, outstanding
orthopedic physician and a leader in
the movement for correction OF foot
defects in pupils.
Opinion to this effect was expressed
by DR.. Hall after appearances before
parent-teacher and civic organiza-
lions.
Statistics by DR. Hall reveal that
children between and 10 years are
from 80 to so per cent defective in feet,
those between 10 and IS years are
from so to 10 per cent defective and
80 per cent OF children Of high school
age have foot defects.
Discussing the subject, DR.. Hall
said:
Mothers, in particular, should in
terest themselves in preventing or cor
recting foot troubles Of their children
1t is agreed among authorities that
faulty posture and improper footwear
are the causes Of majority of juve-
nile foot ills. The pre-school age is
the most neglected period in the
child's life with respect to foot care,
figures showing that 10 per cent Of
children Of this age possess defects"
DR.. Hall advocates the establishment
OF foot health clinics, either at strate-
gic points throughout the city. or at
the school building. where at stated
periods the feet Of pupils could be
examined and the parents advised Of
defects discovered and OF the ways
of overcoming them

be held at luncheon at the Har-
rington Hotel Friday at 1915 pm.

There has always been great
difficulty In finding q time for
meetings which would suit the
convenience Of the greatest num-
Der OF members. The large group,
constituting this Executive Com
mittee, Is composed Of the more
active members Of . number Of
bodies and most Of these people
are active In many groups. Board

such good attendance at luncheon
meetings that it was deemed worth
trying by the Citizens Joint Com
