around.
Real estate may not sound if it were related
to romance. Yet a moratorium on romance would
cause profound readiustment in the real estate field
The demand for homes rented or owned would
be cut extent that would depress all real estate
values This in turn would have its adverse effect
mortgage holding banks and tax collections The
furniture makers would be in despair well all
the manufacturers of home furnishings and Kitchen
ware.
Some of the results would be too confusing to
predict What effect would moratorium romance
have, for instance, on the automobile trade and on
gasoline consumption? Would the young who
had hoped to marry toss his savings reckessy into
a new automobile or would he sell his old and
brood? Would the honeymoon voyages Of bridal
couples to Bermuda and Niagara Falls be offset by
broken-hearted individuals travelling alone to forget
their troubles? In certain directions there might be
some illusory compensations Parents who have to
pay for weddings might experience sense of relief
especially those with large families of girls And there
would certainly be a boom in romantic literature
possibly bootlegged of escape. 1t is doubt
ful, however, whether moratorium romance will
ever be popular in the United States and the proba
bities strong that business will continue usual

One Problem for Another
Cleveland Plain Dealer

(CleVeland pam Dealer)
British rearmament is moving ahead at such a
rapid pace that in eighteen months the government
expects the unemployment problem which has plagued
the nation for years to vanish 1t foresees the time
when there actually will be shortage of labor and a
competitive demand for man power and materials
up between the industries and the of the
industrial community
Thus by solving problem, that of unempoy-
ment the boom which is confidently predicted the
basis of Britains $3150000000 armament expenditure
for this year, creates This situation, which
confidently expected to develop by such authorities
John Maynard Keynes, the Economist of London,
and Prof N F. Hail. director of the National Institute
for Social and Economic Research contains The germs
of initiation unless the government steps in.
1t is expected the government will have to be given
special powers not only to ration labor and materials
but investments well. This will bring greater
of official control than Britain has
perienced before in time and the outlook is
one which the manufacturer and distributor in the
non-armament fields cannot contemplate with equa-
nmity.
This solution of the unemployment question is
made possible because the government has borrowed
81 900000000 to supplement the regular appro
pration for this year While this money is described
new savings" idle money that would not otherwise
have been put to the effects may not be harsh
the rest of business But next year and the year after
may bring entirely different problem when out
side funds sought
Unless the government exerts wise control the
situation may get of hand it totaitarian
countries where the major bulk of resources are de-
voted to non-productive rearmament. 1t is expected
that, at the beginning the program may stimu-
late activity in other fields but it feared it cannot
punnp-prme them to the point where they absorb
the workers when armament let's down. Here is an
example OF the manner in which the states operating
under totaitaran economy have forced the democra-
ces to start the adoption of otalitarian methods
1t is OF the economic byproducts of political
rest rampant in the world and its solution challenges
the best brains of every nation.

BUSINESS AND ROMANCE

49, Some of our popular (and most expensiye) maya
zineS have built up great Calculations by pointing out
now much there is in business, but there is
also much business in AS this is the season
sof The year when the young mans fancy lightly turns
10 well-known topic it is perhaps appropriate to
look into the matter
A one-year moratorium on romance would un-
doubtedy have profoundly serious impact on bust
ness in the United States. There few enterprises
which would not be affected At first thought one
might say that agriculture and the food industries
could struggle along and that coal mining could con-
tinue because people have to eat and to keep warm
whether they happen to be in love or not Indeed,
might be argued that young people under the spell
Of romance have particularly small appetites and don't
bother much about temperatures, thus contributing
little to the demand for food and fuel But closer
examination will show that neither farmers, cattle
men nor miners could feel immune from the general
depression which would follow.
1t is only necessary to follow the normal develop
nient of single romance realize the effect that the
Suspension of millions of them would have. Proba-
bly, the first to feel this effect would be the florists
The candymakers and the purveyors of amusement.
Instead Of conducting year-round business, the flor
might find their sales confined to set dates such
as Easter Mothers Day and Memorial Day. Roses,
which the choice blossoms of romance, would
wther their stems.
The iewelry trade would be hard hit. If the
jewellers tod that for entire year they couldn't
i sell engagement rings. wedding rings and all the
elaborate silver that into wedding presents, many
Of them would haye to close their doors The garment
trade would also suffer OF course people would con-
taue to clothes, and clothes, too But sup
pose tha throughout the country not single trous-
seau prepared. If through the list of

SUNDAY, MAY %. 1899

This should be a fairly fortunate
day, according to astrology. The
stars stimulate interest in the finer
things of life. Lovers of nature will
benefit.
The clergy is under promising
sway that should cause increase of
power in public affairs.
This is a favorable rule for lead
ers of every sort. Bankers and bust
ness men should profit through am
bilious enterprises.
AS the commercial transactions of
each week are finished and results
computed there should be encour-
agement in many quarters. Prosper
Gus summer months are indicated
Girls today will find greatest re-
wards in avoiding romance and con-
tributing to the happiness of others.
Domestic tasks, especially those that
prepare for hospitality, are well di-
rected.
The weekend is lucky for enter
tanning friends, but not for Turing
possible suitors. Men young and old
will be even more self-centered than
usual.
At the summer solstice Herschel
will be eliminating with aspects not
to the people of Poland.
There will be little stability in the
nations international relations.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of a year that invites
steady industry and persistent eff
forts toward advancement. They
should not indulge in extravagances.

ably will be we'll endowed with

Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of delays and

with threat to Germany. Yet Mr. Chamberlain
continues making gestures of Cancellation The Soviet
Union has just dispensed with Foreign Minister
known for his faith in the British and French and
at the same time insists its policy remains of
rapprochement with the western democraces
From Rome there are recurring hints that Italy
is not happy in the axis. But in contrast to this the
actual military collaboration of the chief Fascist
powers is extensive and intimate than ever
Poland, with the tragic memory of Czechosovakia
always in front of her. is playing game of consum-
mate shrewdness, relying her strength and
her allies and yet taking to offer Hitler every
thing she can to avoid showdown.
The most enigmatic of all is that of Spain
where the press is fundamentally pro-axs and the
government likewise but where no commitment ac-
tualy to support the axis in event of has been
established
There good many moves that suggest the
analogy of chess game for pawns shifted about
with little regard for their interests And many
a reflects very farsighted objective vastly
other features of European politics which suggest
a more plebian analogy. There is SO much bluffing
