There are many folks living in congest- ed city tenements who do not seem to mind how many children they have and many of them lack the means and intelligence to give these children education. Meanwhile educated young people of high ideals who ought to be raising large families to carry on their traditions, may feel they can not have them under present conditions. If any means could be devised for supplying more homes to the people at mod. erate rents, it would encourage development of normal family life, and be a wonderful boon to our country. 0 0 Health. Clowns A clever way of impressing useful ideas among children has been thought out by public health authorities, who in many places have sent around young men dressed as clowns to perform fun- ny antics, and at the same time Memorial Day “They died so that we might live." How true l How inspiring to the manhood and the woman- hood of America today—Memori- al Day. “They died so that we might live.” And we have been left to live in a land of plenty—in a land rich in health—in a land whose good, clean sports is making bet- ter men of us all. It was a fine sight to watch the other night at the Methodist church, the National Guard stand at salute while the war veterans, led by the G. A. R., passed be- tween thcir ranks into the church. Honor for those who fought ! “Lest we forget." American manhood will never forget the spirit of those men and boys who rallied to the flag in time of dan- ger. Who’s forgetting i No American—no man who loves this land of liberty. \Ve may forget high prices, high rcnts. \Ve may some day forget pro ition. But we will not forget the deeds of the men who were willing to lay down their lives that we might go on living under the stars and stripes. Memorial Day is not so much a holiday as a holy day to honor both the dead and the living. And we feel it would not be asking too much of the managers of the local baseball teams to re- quest those at the games to stand up for one minute out of respect for the war dead. game go on. O O 0 Standard of Value One of the worst features of the present high scale of prices is that it represents a radical change of the standard of value, and ev- ery man who has saved a dollar due to him in money has had part of that dollar taken away from him. If the savings dcpositor in 1913, who had by hard work accumu- lated $100 in the bank, had been told some day that it was pro- posed to scale down his credit until the bank should owe him but $60, he would have felt tre- mendously indignant. He would have called it theft. Yet this is just what has hap- pened to everybody who has sav- ed money, as the result of the high scale of prices. The dollars saved up as the result of many years of thrift and self denial, are today worth but about 60 cents each, because they won’t buy anywhere near as much as they would before the war. The people who owu houses and other buildings and business prop- erties may constitute an excep- tion, as they have not as a rule lost by the change. Their proper- ties have become enough more valuable to make up for the rise in prices. But the folks who have saved money and put it into banks Then let the‘ ' instruction. Fire prevention and other good ideas have been dis- seminated in this way. One little girl, having been to] by a health clown that it was un- desirable for children to drink coffee, went home and threw the family coffee pot out of the Win- dow. Considering the comfort that the grown-ups get from cof- Qe, this was carrying the thing too far. But the clowning idea can be uused to get children ’s at- tention. It takes sugar coating to get pills into children’s stom-, achs, and useful ideas sometimes have to be similarly concealed. American Legion Joins In Tribute BY ALVIN OW'SLEY National Commander, American On this day. sacred to the memory of America's brave fighting men who He buried in the cemeteries of Europe and America, the American Legion joins the great body of American citizenry in reverent tribute. At home and in the lands across the seas. Legion men, the comrades in battle of those who sleep, are making pilgrimagos to the burial places to strew upon their graves the flowers of remain- brance. As we pause in reverence at the shrines of our hero dead. a. feeling of our own unworthinesa must manifest itself. Our comrades have made the highest sac- rifice; they have given OWSLEY their lives to pet'potu- ate the ideals of peace and good will. The cause for which they died has not prevailed. “'e who survived the fight have been unable to accomplish the holy tasks bequeathed to us by those who fell. This Memorial Day should mark the rcconsccration of our endeavors to- ward instilling in this nation and the world the spirit of the men who died for us. In our own country we must revive that flame of patriotism which burned brightly during the days of strife and in the world the unity of sentiment that existed among allied peoples fighting for their homes and firesides against the advance of a militaristic power. if our efforts are not turned toward the achievements of these high ideals. we break faith with those whose memory we rever-' ence today. The American Legion was founded‘ to preserve for posterity the spirit that led the finest men in our land to sacrifice their all for a great and noble cause. Its program is based on a. broad conception of peacetime service to the community. slate and nation. It has thrown the weight of its in- fluence on the side of the right during the uncertain days following the re- turn to America of our overseas fight- ers and has assisted in preserving the nation from the perils of those sinister forces which have brought disaster and ruin to the largest nation in the world and which today threaten many other lands. Members of the Legion have caught the torch thrown to them by their felling comrades and will bear it on. lifting men and nations to the higher ground. k. give school pupils some valuable s‘ter have a chance ' e a miss best- more than. in‘ winter. things on the war and start blaming them on ourselvea good reputation. bad reputation.

It takes a lot more capital to do business on the basis of diluted money. The depression of 1921 was due in large measure to the fact that the accumulated capital of the coun- try was insufficient to finance usiness on a basis of this deteri- brated money.
