Hughes for Secretary of State.
Mr. Harding's first personal announcement
of a choice for cabinet positions is one that will
reassure not only the American people, but the
world at large. His selection of Charles Evans
Hushes fur the place of secretary of stale Is
a happy one, 1 ireshadowcd-for sonic time, but
Welcome now that it is officially given out.
The portion has always been a highly im
portant one, all hough not always worthily filled.
While America has no "foreign policy," in the
s'.nse that it differs from the chancelleries of
Europe in tradition and aspiration, and because
the Stale department is subject to the muta
tions of domestic politics, yet the maintenance
of our relations with foreign countries proceeds
on a definite understanding of our own rights
and aspirations and a willingness to recognize
those of our neighbors.. That the United States
has-come to a position of leadership in world
affairs is ascribable io the fact that we have no
inclination at any time unduly to meddle or
dictate, and therefore may be trusted, both as to
our. aims and our sincerity. Therefore, under
existing conditions, the Stale department is now
inor than ever a place of high responsibility
and importance.
Charles Evans Hughes will be received with
confidence by the world, because he is known.
He has figured very little in the diplomatic
world, but as a former Justice of the supreme,
coure of the United States, and as a man widely
versed in the practical affairs of life, he comes
to his new employment well established in the ex-,
perience that is needed in that w ork. Mr. Harding's
promise that he will reverse the Wilson foreign
policy is notice to She world in general that a
more sturdy quality will characterize our deal
ings with other nations something more like
the diplomacy of 'Unclc Dick" Olney, "dhirt
sleeve" as it was. and less of the flabbiness and
uncertainty that has marked the course at Wash
ington since 1913. We believe that if an ulti
matum goes out signed by the name of Hughes,
it will jiot be put on file in Mexico City or any
other capital. .-..
It .Mr.' Harding-is as fortunate in his other
selections of advisers as he has been in his choice
i f premiers, his administration will start with
high prosjiect of early redemption of all that is
expected from him. At least he has shown an
intent to rc;-tore the dignity of American di
plomatic dealings, and thus to redeem the honor
and credit of our State- department, something
that has sadly suffered under the W:ilson policj.
To this extent the country is already the -gainer

Building and Loan Associations.
The building and loan association is the
friend of the working and small salaried classes,
who can become Iiome owners only by weekly
or monthly saving. These associations have been
the financing medium for building nearly 40,000
homes in the cities, towns and villages of this
state. The combined associations in Nebraska
are loaning funds received by them from every
state in the United States and some foreign
countries. Funds loaned in the small towns and
rural communities far exceed the funds (not in?
eluding repayment on loans) taken from these
same small towns and communities through the
sale of stock, and it is a fact that these moneys
loaned throughout our state immediately become
a part of the community and banking life,
through payment for labor and materials. Func
tioning thus through the channels of trade, the
associations also inculcate habits of thrift and
economy, and create in every member the defin
ite aim and purpose of, owning a home, and no
ambition can be higher, nor does any contribute
more directly to the life of the commonwealth.
Although the primary purpose of these as
sociations is to encourage development within
local communities, their advantages are also en
joyed by the farming class, and this has been
recognized in other states, where encouragement
has been given to. the associations. One of the
leading associations of the state has now $4,800,
000 of its funds loaned at 6 per cent on farms
throughout 26 counties of Nebraska under a
popular and easy repayment plan. This should
be appreciated by those farmers who have felt
the effect of closing down the' operation of the
Federal Farm Loan bank under the attack from
powerful financial interests.
As purely co-operative associations, working
in a restricted field, that of loaning money on
first mortgages, and having but two classes to
serve, the small saver of investor on the one
hand and the borrower on the other, these or
ganizations are filling a most important function
in social life. Under their plan of operation,
rates of interest charged and dividends paid will
maintain an equitable ratio.
The amendment now before The legislature"
does not contemplate any exemption, but only
a relief from double taxation. If passed, as
sociations will be taxed upon their cash balances,
stock loans to members and other property on
which no tax is now paid, and the State will he
gainer, while the small shareholders will be re
lieved from a burden that really is onerous. The
public will lose nothing, but will gain a great
deal.

National Confidence Rises Again.
Suspicion that or.c is being matJe a fool ol
produces a most uncomfortable feeling, and it
has been the fear that America was being im
posed r.pcn that has made our foreign policy
of late so confused.. At times it has appeared
r'mt ether nations must be laughing up their
s'.cevcs at Uncle. Sam. and this feeling is so
rtterly destructive of mutual, .understanding as
to be a positive peril." !
AYhcti we went into the war. there were "
p roups who declared that Vc had been hood- j
winked. j
At the peace conference the same uneasy j
s-di'-ccnsciousni'ss revived J
When America took none oi the spoils of r
Wr some questioned whether we had not been !
imposed upon. ;
Now, in our dealings with Japan, with Kn- i
ffhuid and witli every other nation, something
of the oU confidence has disappeared. ' We im
agine that while words may.be fair, there is be
hind them the intention to take an advantage
of our t::ck of diplomatic adroitness, or to call
it by its real name. American straightforward
ness. This atmosphere of misgiving and doubt
is not a healthful one, nor would a sudden re
solve to begin a new policy of double dealing
in order to hold our own bring improvement.
..For these reasons, among others, it is a hope
ful aud reassuring thing that a change in admin
istration is about to take place. And with
Charles Evans Hughes in the position of secre
tary of state, this injurious and fantastic picture
of America as a babe in the woods will soon be
dispelled. ,
Now for a "Proposal Week."
It has not yet occurred to any of the multi
tudinous organizations in our land-to proclam a
"Get-married week." True, the month of June
has had some unofficial standing & a season of
honeymoons, but there has been no- intensive'
propaganda such as would greatly encourage the
single and unattached members of the commu
nity to commit matrimony.
"In certain Hungarian villages," we read
one of those odd items tucked in a corner of a
newspaper. "all men more than 18 years of age
and able te maintain a family have been ordered
to get married within two months.".
Now, this is rather crude, although doubtless
effectual as the springtime in turning thoughts
to love. But in America is 'growing up a dis
inclination to legislate people into a higher plane
of life. Here the public is being brought up on
the Montessori system by which it is persuaded
that there is a positive pleasure or absolute ad
vantage in thinking or acting in a certain w-ay,
and that inasmuch as every one else is going to
do it, we had better come along with the crowd
iu order to avoid being lonesome and to insure
being in style. . -
Nerving one's sell up to the point of willing
ness to marry is an intricate and time-consuming
task. In many instances, though one heart
may beat fast and hot, the accelerator on the
necessary other heart is hot working. Others
there are who by reason of bashfulness or lack o:
confidence do not dare to aspire openly and thus
miss opportunity. Perhaps it has never occurred
to some that two can live as expensively as one.
Her hair is a horror, her checks are aflame.

There are numerous styles of this Jambes Aivhi
tecture,
As to which I can make but a futile conjecture;
There's "Mission Style," "Two-by-Four,." "fiiek-

But still I am forced to admit I abide 'em

to Moore, a story is not a story ii t keeps you

'Yes, I exist,' said Valentine (the fair Suidee
continued), 'but something In your voice tells

contrary, you please me exceedingly,' said the
lady; 'but the strange fascination you exercised
over me last evening has vanished; I can't ex

'You are quite awake?' asked Valentine. 'Quite,'
she answered, 'and I am immensely relieved, as

by a sudden thought. The pink shirt! O fool!
O unbeliever) Clad in the magic garment from
the mysterious East he was irresistible; in mere
evening dress he was a wizard without his wand,
a necromancer without his . abracadabra. And
to think that he had intrusted this priceless
garment to a hotel laundry! Valentine almost
ran from the opera house, and on reaching his
hotel h was immeasurably relieved to find that
his laundry had been returned. But vrhen he tore
the wrappings from the bundle he uttered an
exclamation of dismay. The pink shirt was not
there. n its place was an ordinary linen shirt
with the laundry mark 'X. WV Ten thousand
maledictions! For the next hour the hotel man
agement was occupied with his loss. It was con
jectured that the pink shirt had been put into
the wrong bund'e and delivered to another
fcuest of the hote'. Examination of the register
disclosed the existence of a Nathan Weatherwax,
a traveler from New York, and fortunately this
person had not checked out. But he was not in
his voom, and nobody had a notion of who or
what he was. There was nothing to do but await
his return, and Valentine established himself in
a chair arid waited. Midnight came, and 1 o'clock
and 2, and Valentine had resolved to ask the
management to look in the room of the Weather
wax person, when a man in a grea tcoat with the
collar about his ears entered and asked for his
key. Valentine touched him fn the arm. 'Mr.
Weatherwax?' he ventured. 'Well?' said the
other unamiably. 'You have a shirt belonging
to me,' said Valentine 'Damn your shirt!" said
Weatherwax, and moved away. 'I have no
objection to your damning it so long as you re
turn it said Valentfne. T said damn your shirt!'
returned Weatherwax, and whirling about he
unbuttoned his greatcoat. Valentine almost ex
pired. Excepting the greatcoat and his trousera
the traveler from New York was clad only in his

The Secret of French Thrift.
" The thrift o the French people is proverbial,
but too often this trait is pictured as hiding
money away in a sock or investing in gilt
edged securities. With heavy taxes and the dis
organization of the currency and of foreign trade,
this trait is not able to be exercised so much.'
French thrift, however, still persists in the dili
gence and earnest application that is being paid
to production. It is not because of their savings
that the people of France no longer need emer
gence relief from abroad, but because they have
been able to settle down to work.

EATING TOO MUCH SUGAR.
"If a person tats too much sugar
r.nd starch and keepy il up for a long
time he generally is called on to pay
the penalty by upcoming obese, de-
eloping diabetes, or raising crops of
bulls uutl t'urbunoles.
Dr. Joslin recently offered some
additional proof that obesity and
diabetes are cut from the same cloth.
Of course diabetes is only a symp
tom and there are several varieties
of thf .lispiiMp. Hni to several causes.
J The point made by JohIhi was that
the heavy starch ana sufrar eaiers
who become obese and remain so
for years me. iTTOre than average,
prone to di-velop diabetes.
Dr. William Thallieimei- contrib
utes some scientific proof of an old
contention namely: that overeating
sugar is one of the principal causes
of crops of boilH. A boy 15 years of
use w;ptit to a summer camp, where
he was allowed to eat more starches
and sugar than he had any right to.
Soon afterward he began to have
boils on his neck. When Dr. Thal-1-eimer
saw him he had seven large
ones and that had been about his
average for several months. He was
eating a very heavy carbohydrate
diet. Repeated examinations of his
urino failed to show any sugar.
Some albumin was found. In spite
of the failure to find sugar in the
urine Dr. Thalheiiner felt certain
that a diet too rich in sugar and
starch was the cause. He examined
the blood and found the amount of
blood sugar considerably above the
normal. This was enough scientific
proof of the c generally accepted
opinion.
Sweets and starches were cut out
of the boy's diet. He was allowed
meat, fat. watery vegetables, and
non-starchy breads. The boils quit
coming at once. The diet prescribed
was a little too strict for a growing
boy. They had to lessen the fats
and increase the starches temporar
ily, whereupon a new crop of boils
appeared. Finally they hit on a diet
which supulied his needs and kept
him frojii havhig boils.
- Of course, the skill was kept clean
and was protected against irritation.
Dr. Thalheiiner concluded that the
boy was a heavy sugar eater on the
verse of diabetes. This attack may
prove to have been a blessing in dis
guise, since it niay .lead the boy to
be more - careful in'hla eating and
thus avoid diabetes.

Opposes Athletic Park Plan.
Omaha. 'Feb, 19. To the Edi
tor of The Bee: As a resident of
the South Side, I would like to ask
why it was considered necessary in
these stringent times to buy the ra
vine that exunds from Twenty-third
and L streets to about Thirteenth
and O streets? Was there a crying
need for more parks, when we now
have a number of parks thut are
hardly used throughout the year?
There is plenty of level, unused
ground in Spring Ijike park that
could be used for all ,tho "athletic"
purposes necessary.
If some of the projectors of the
"athletic" park would get a pioce of
ground and make rome garden this
year, they would get all the athletic
exercise they may need.
If one of the present city commis
sioners and his brother did not live
at one end of the proposed "athletic"
park, and if more of his folks did
not live at the other end of the pro
posed park, puld the dreamer of a
city commissioner have ever dreamed
of turning that lovely ravine into a
park at the expense of taxpayers of
the South Side? I should say not.
If more parks were needed. It
would be another question, but when
we now have Sprfnk Lake park and
other parks that are scarcely used at
all. It looks like a foolish waste of
money from the taxpayers.
Had there been a vote taken by
the people of the South Side, the
project of buying up that ravine for
a park would have been badly
beaten. That ravine would never
have been thought of as a park if
one of our city commissioners and
his people had lived iu another part
of tho city. Instead of making us
pay taxes for an unnecessary "ath
letic" park, the city commissioners
should have cut that out for the
present at least. The only thing that
has ever been done to Spring Lake
park, the finest natural park in the
middle west, was to-butcher it up
and spoil a good deal of its natural
beauties.
Better put our fine natural parks j
to rignt uses and cut out the "ra
vine" parks. SOUTH SIDEK.
