Loans to European Powers.
The persistence with which Senator Reed
pursues the subject of the loans by the United
States to European powers must remind the
public of the zeal with which lie carried on his
futile campaign against' Herbert Hoover. Some
will wonder, perhaps, why the Kansas City sen
ator is so determined in his course, forgetful
that he owes a considerable grudge to the Wil
son administration, and may. find in this some
thing of food to satisfy the longing for ven
geance. This unworthy motive may not be his,
and he may be actuated by purest patriotism,
tlthough where that comes in is not clear.
When we were in the heat of war, authority
for a loan to the Allies to the extent of ten bil
lions was granted. This has been put out iuJ
the following order:

All of this money was needed for the winning
of the war. America put its Credit into the field
before it did its array, and properly so, because
its industries were mobilized and producing
while the men to fight were being assembled.
It was not expected then, nor is it now, that
we would be required to assume the entire obli
gation entailed in these loans; nor was it thought
by any familiar with the situation that our
debtors would be able to make immediate repay
ment. Some small sums of interest have been
returned, but for the most part that has been set
over and is being added to the principal,
Greece has recently applied for certain credits,
relying on a pledge given that additional money
would be advanced. This has been seized upon
by Senator Reed as the pretext for his action,
Greece being engaged in Anatolia against Musta
pha Kemal in an effort to set up the protectorate
contemplated by the trelty of peace between
the Allies and Turkey, That any further loan
on the pledge to Greece would be applied to the
prosecution of this enterprise is plain, and it. is
this that justifies the senatorial onslaught.
Great Britain has proposed a cancellation of
the international war debts; this subject is being
generally debated. France has not made any
overture, although the Paris Matin publishes a
statement to "the effect that Colonel House did
make a promise that France's debt to the United
States would be forgiven. That was at a tims
when all were exalted by the spirit of winning
the war. It had been suggested by many Amer
icans of influence and standing, and would pert
haps meet a popular sentiment even now. But
officially the United States is on record as op
posed to any forgiveness of debts. It is recog
nized that there will be no payment within the
immediate future, and finally the sum may never,
be repaid. Reasons- for this are obvious.
The outstanding feature of the situation at
present is that "Jimmy" Reed is recalling to the
expiring administration at Washington some of
the proceedings at Jefferson City, and later at
San Francisco. If he Is able to add anything to
the wakefulness of Woodrow Wilson during his
last hours in the White House, the act will be
cheerfully performed.
' Sprouting Wings.
In isolated parts of the country even at this
late day persons of advanced age are occasion
ally found who are taking their first ride on a
train. Many can remember. clearly when first
they rode in an automobile, and doubtless many
"others have yet to experience this. But it is
only the first trip in an airplane that affords real
pride now.
It will not be many years until people will
be ashamed to admit that they have never taken
flight over Omaha or that on descending from a
journey through the air will not endeavor to con
ceal that they have never been up before. Some
new Henry Ford will be turning out thousands
of sky busses each day and people will no longer
omplain of poor paving or bad roads. Chief
Jtbcrstein, who only the other day caused a front
lAge sensation by his amateur flight of less than
an hour, may then be scouting among the clouds
in a police plane in search of highwaymen that
are really high in their own little piratical air
ships. Already the anti-horse thicf association
is going or gone, and the coming pest may be
the miscreant who cranks up the plane of some
honest citizen and steals aloft.
Back Yard Opportunity.
It takes a henroost robbery to remind city
dwellers that people still raise chickens in their
back yard. A neighborhood row over two miss
ing hens on the South Side is enough to sug
gest that even with such mishap a flock of
chickens will go a long way to solve the meat
problem.
We hear of chicks scratching up garden seed
and of honest citizens firing off rusty guns at
marauders in the alley, but we are seldom told
of the real economy and success that prevail
ia most henyards.
Keeping chickens is far from being all bad
sews. Did you know that each hen in her pullet
year can produce ten dozen eggs? A flock of
ten, with eggs at 40 cents a dozen would add
$40 in a year to the income. Table scraps and
refuse, together with a little grain, which is very
chcajj now, "will produce not only t.n abundance
of eggs, but cheap and tasty meat as well.
Within ten weeks of the day a chicken is
hatched, fat juicy broilers are ready for the
table and in two months more some of the pul
lets will begin to lay. A building ten feet square
and a very few yards of a runway will house ail
the poultry a family needs.
When spring approaches, it is pleasant to start
out with chicks. They need not be hatched at
home, but can be bought when a day old from
any large breeder.
Of course, anyone can make a fizzle at keep
ing hens, but it is also true that anyone with a
back yard and with a little care and knowledge
can make a success of it
High Comedy of Prejudice.
To the defense of Judge Kenesaw Mountain
Landis rushes Pussyfoot Johnson. Impeach
ment proceedings, you know, are being con
sidered by a committee of congress with Vol
stead as chairman. The only point of contro
versy to come before the committee is whether
or not the judge is derelict in his duty in acting
as a base ball arbiter at the same time as he
holds his position on the judicial bench. Yet
between the judge and his enemies the water
is so muddied that a decision on the merits of
this single point is scarcely to be hoped for,
and in the confusion it may be ultimately decid
ed to adopt the opinion of Attorney General
Palmer that Judge Landis is within his rights
in keeping two irons in the fire.
People either like Landis or they detest him.
Senator Dial took umbrage at the judge's
criticism of bankers and the appearance of un
due leniency in the case of a clerk who suc
cumbed to the temptation of theft to the ex
tent of $96,000, alleging that he needed it to buy.
his aged mother a loaf of bread, or something
of the sort. Perhaps Judge Landis did not mean,
all that he said and only wished to make a good
story for the newspapersat any rate, honest
opinion can not excuse such crime.
Immediately Judge Landis was out with a
comeback, pointing out that Dial was a banker
and prejudiced. From that moment , the more
important issue of whether or no a federal judge
can hold two positions was lost. Judge Landis
continues meantime to send bootleggers to
prison, creating fierce enmity among the under
world and drawing to his support the prohibi
tionists. In the same way people who opposed
the war are his foes on account of his references
to disloyalty and his sentences on Berger and
other radicals. Most Americans, on the other
hand, admired him for his forthright stand, al
though since the supreme court found the de
cision faulty on account of allegations of preju
dice, some have felt, that with less heat better
effect could have been secured.
At all events, circumstances, guided or hot by
human design, have done in the case of Judge
Landis what is so often done, clouded over the
original charge and brought on 'an avalanche
of prejudice. If accusations and counter-accusations
are to fly freely, they should all be in
corporated into the formal papers of accusation
and not be allowed to creep into consideration,
unacknowledged.
President Wilson's Personal Expenses.
The resolution passed by the house of repre
sentatives, providing for an inquiry into the
personal expenses of the president, under the
appropriation of $150,000,000 to be used by him
in connection with the war, seems to lack' sin
cerity. The money was freely given to Mr.
Wilson, to be used as he deemed proper in the
public service. It is not possible that anyone
believes the president was guilty of any dishon
est expenditure or misuse of the fund. It may
serve to amuse some to learn the meticulous de
tails of the cost of maintaining the retinue that
attended the president at the peace conference,
to learn the items that make up the whole ac
count of the cost of that expedition, and dis
cover what if any went to distinguished mem
bers of the party.
Yet that is only a small portion of the total
sum. and if need be could Jiave been singled out
for some specific inquiry. The greater part of
the money, if used at all, went for purposes the
nature of which can not be disclosed, with
propriety. Nobody knows this better than do
the congressmen. Mr. Wilson was clothed with
unusual power, freely granted him by the citi
zens of the United States, because he was the
head of the government' and on him rested a
responsibility all the world recognized. This
great power was conceded to him by the repub
licans in congress in a patriotic spirit, and would
never have been withdrawn while he was in
office, had the war continued. To harass him
now with demands that he make public details
of transactions that in their very nature must be
kept secret will not materially aid the progress
of the republic. 1
Only the disclosure of turpitude or corrup
tion could justify such a proceeding, and the
president is not accused or even suspected of
that. Finally, the voters of America have passed
upon his post-war policy, and the verdict is ac
cepted. Petty politics at this time should be
avoided. -
Here is President Wilson given authority to
lay an embargo on exports ,of oil, and it was
always said that the United States consumed
more than it produced. Have they been ship
ping oil abroad and shipping other oil in from
abroad? . ...
Mr. Harding having made bold to suggest
to Congress that it get a move on, is not trying
to pick a fight, but he may find some of the
members have not yet removed the chip from
their shoulders.

Ingersoll to the Texan, who said all his state

The words of Houssain gave great Joy to his
chief of staff. The eternal quest of the new
stenographer was, If not ended, at least inter
rupted. It waa a breathing spell, and the excel
lent Wezeer besought heaven to endow the fair
Saidee- with a thousand fascinations of speech
and manner, that the merchant might be per
suaded to the renunciation of his vow. Hous
sain himself gave no sign of encouraging this
hope, and the second day passed as the first, and
when the afternoon was spent it was not without
trepidation that he heard the office boy remind
Miss Perkins of her promise. - 'With all my
heart," said she, 'if Mr. Houssain still wishes to
hear the story.' The merchant signified that his
interest was not extinguished, and begging per
mission to light a cigar, disposed himself for the
recital, signing to Weezer and the office boy to
be seated also. ' Thereupon the fair Saideo

Story of the rink Shirt.
My brother Valentine (said Miss Perkins) Is
a consulting engineer, and his profession calls
him to every quarter of the celebrated globe.
Late in the summer of 1913 he chanced to be
visiting an English friend who had rented a
.ilia on Capri. They left the island in company,
the Englishman to return to London, my brother
to Chicago, where he purposed to sojourn a few
days before proceeding to Hong-Kong. While
they were packing their effects, the Englishman
tossed over to Valentine a shirt of a line flannel
dyed a remarkable red. It was not pink, but a
very rich red, the color of yak blood, to be pre
else. The Englishman suggested that my brother
might care to wear the garment, since he was
not able to, his shlrtmakermaving made an error
in the measuring. He had bought the flannel,
he related, in a bazaar in Teheran, and a aueer
story went with it." It was loom-made, of angora
wool, fashioned by a beautiful Persian damsel
whose lover had deserted-her, and who wove
into the fabric of the stuff all the fervor of her
unrequited passion. Whoever should wear a
garment made from that cloth, the keeper of
the bazaar had said, would have power to arouse
the' liveliest emotions in a person of the opposite
sex. 'Did you try It on?' asked my brother.
'Yes,' said the Englishman, who was of a literal
mind, 'but, as I told you, the beggar of a shirt -maker
got my measure wrong.' 'I mean,' said
Valentine, 'did you ever test the fatal fascination
of the shirt?' 'Oh, I say, what rot!' the English-V
man replied, With such an air that my brother
said no more, but slipped the garment into his
bag.

ADVICE FOR T. B. PATIENTS.
Consumption is one of those dis
eases with which many people must
learn to live or pay the penalty. The
average length of the Illness occa
sioned by it is said to be almost
three years. 1 havo known of people
who have lived with consumption
for more than 10 years. I have in
mind a very prominent railroad man
in the southwest who has been a
consuni i'tivo for forty years. He, in
spite of his infirmity, is a very
powerful and important member of
society in his section, perhaps the
most Important in a rango compris
ing several states. The secret Is this:
He has learned to live with his dis
ease. I wish every consumptive could
have a copy of "Hints and Helps
for Tuberculosis Patients," by Dr.
Charles L. Minor of Ashville, N. C.
This book of rules of less than 6,000
words has been published five times
by the Journal of Outdoor Life.
That Journal will reprint it and sell
It for 10 cents. It can be procured
through local tuberculosis societies.
The first 13 rules relate to rest.
The rules for outdoor living are five
In number, and go Into minute de
tails. The advice is to stay out of
doors at least eight to 10 hours a
day. One rule Is never to stay out,
of doors when you are chilly, but
this means that a person must take
pains to be warmly covered, not that
they are to stay Indoors In inclement
weather. The only weather to keep
out of is that of sleet storms. In
hot weather a person should cover
his head against the sun.
The rules about eating are 12 In
number. There are six rules relating
to clothing. Chest protectors are
advised against. Tho winter under
clothing is to be worn until about
Juno 1, and the summer weights
until about November 15. "Never
change the Weight of your clothes
without due consideration, remem
bering that: '
"Reneath this stone, a lump of clay,
Lies Uncle Peter Daniels,
Who early In the moth of May
Took off his winter flannels."
Five rules are given as to bath
ing. One is: "If you suffer from
chilliness try salt and alcohol rubs.
If you tend to perspire too freely,
vinegar and alcohol rubs."
Other subjects covered are: The
room," bed, and sleep; amusements,
care of the voice, cough and expec
toration, medicines, miscellaneous
and mental attitude.

Omaha, Feb. 8. To the Editor of
The Bee; It is with great interest
that I read ia your esteemed paper
of tho nuccess of tho "New York
firm" which sold $10,000 worth of
goods to Omaha women very re
cently. You make tho statement
that it is contrary to the "Onward
Omaha" spirit to spend Omaha
money so that It is carried to New
York. This New York firm carried
a very fine grade- of goods and a
large selection of fine things, larger
and finer than I have ever seen in
any Omaha store. Once or twice a
year, several of our stores do have
consignments of lino linens which
they sell for eastern firms, how
ever. The quality of this New York
firms' goods was of tho very best,
the selection very large and the price
from 20 to GO per cent lower than
Omaha prices for similar quality.
Do the Omaha women have to
spend their money in Omaha, al
though they get less for this money
here? Is it not thrift whjch made
theso women buy $10,000 worth of
quality goods from a firm of un
questioned reputation. We women
refuse to buy goods at exorbitant
prices and from small selections.

when New York can furnish them to
us for less money and from large
stocks.
And after all, do not all of our
retail merchants buy most of their
supplies and stocks from the cast?
What differenco then, whether tho
merchant gets tho profit or the
woman shopper, when we all know
what percentage of the stock of our
retail dry goods stores comes from
eastern firms anyway.
We women are thoroughly In lino

articles as were displayed (with
profit) at the Fontenelle recently,
reach the level of our New York
