WAR DEBT BONDS
SEENAS SOLUTION
Senator Lewis Says They
Would Be Payable to a
Future Generation.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Settlement Of Europe's war debts to
this country by having the debtor
nations issue bonds. payable to some
future generation Of Americans, even-
tually may be proposed as solution
of the problem, 1t was predicted today
by Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, Demo-
crat Of Illinois.
A leading authority on the debt
situation, Senator Lewis said the recent
European war scare, with its attendant
cost Of preparedness. has lessened the
prospect for any cash settlement Of
the overdue debt payments.
Recognizing the inability of the deb
tors to make settlement in gold, the
Senator likewise was not optimistic
over the possibility Of arranging for
payment in goods because of the effect
it might have on domestic production.
Investment for Heirs.
This led him to suggest that the
long-term refunding plan may prove
to be the only method OF working out
a settlement under present conditions.
If this could be done, and the bonds
were Of small denomination, Senator
Lewis pointed out, they might be pur-
chased from the Government at a
discount by citizens, with view to
holding them as an investment for
their heirs.
Meanwhile, Senator Borah, Repub-
lican Of Idahos also a member of the
Foreign Relations Committee, ex-
pressed opposition to reopening the
war debt settlements for the purpose
Of further adjustment,
johnson Act Change.
In connection with the present agri-
cultural surplus problem, Senator Bo-
rah indicated willingness to consider
amending the johnson Act, which
prohibits loans by this country to
nations in arrears on their debts, II
a practical plan could be worked out
to dispose Of American surplus crops
abroad. He was doubtful that it could
be worked out, however.
Senator Lewis made known today
that his present intention is to rein
troduce in the Senate in January a
resolution he had pending at the last
session to disapprove Of trade treaties
with nations in arrears on their indebt-
edness

QUALITY OR "QJALITY7"
The head of large ADVERT sing agency gave this
warning to retailers regarding the changing buying
habits of shoppers:
Where plenty Of signs that who know
something about buying are tired of cheapness end
to cry "Cheap, Cheap" to them But the sound thing
to do is...to teach them how to spend their money
wi sely for the things that have quality".
AS advertiser he instructs the retailers
advertise Qnalit Z, plan store events quality,
demonstrate quality, have the salespeople talk
quality. In short, they are changing their words
from ncheap" to "QualitX".
All the women need to do is to that they
get real auali and not just the proni Of quality.
And the Better Buyers have found that task.

VISITED COLONIES

DR.. Ross, who returned TO New
York after an eight months tour
of Africa and Europe, visited many
Of the leper colonies maintained
by the American Mission to Lep-
ers.
In his tour Of Africa he found
evidences Of leprosy where the
dread disease had never before
been found. The reason for this, he
explained, was that in great eX.
panseS Of Africa a census and
search for leprosy have been i'm
possible.
He estimated there are at least
100000 leper sufferers in Africa
with 100000 in Nigeria, a country
with population Of 20,000,000.
LeproSy, according to DR.. Ross,
Is usually predominant in damp
areas and is found along the Nile
River, in India, and in the United
States, where the majority Of the
1000 known cases Of leprosy were
found In the Subtropical and gulf
districts Of Florida, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Texas.
MYSTERY IN DISEASE
While he would not say there Is
a definite cure for leprosy, he did
say great strides are being made
in arresting the disease.
Until the bacillus lepra can be
cultured medical science will be
unable to determine the method
of infection. DR.. Ross cited In
stances where a father has had
the disease and has not infected
his wife, while his children have
become infected. Further mySti-
flying are the records that show
few persons who have given their
lives to treating lepers and work
ing in leper colonies have become
Il infected,

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-Leprosy,
scourge Of man since the dawn
Of history, Is still the Great Mys-
terry to medical authorities.
DR.. Emory Ross, general secrs-
tary of the American Mission to
Lepers, estimates there are be-
tween three and five million per-
sons in the world afflicted with
the dreaded disease. He said:
"The cause of leprosy is known
through the discovery In 1871
Of the bacillus lepra. But this
bacillus has never been cultured,
with the result that medical
science Is still in great doubt as
