Leanings Toward
Federal Ownership

Chicago, May 16.—Charles Piez, who re
cently retired as general manager of the
Emergency Fleet corporation, in an ad
dress tonight before the Illinois Manu
facturers’ association, declared himself
“permanently cured” of any embryonic
leanings toward government ownership he
might have entertained formerly. He ad

The fleet should be disposed of imme- j

Bennett Memorial Home for
Journalists Is Incorporated
By Associated Press
Albany, N. Y., May 16—The James Gor
don Bennett Memorial Home corpora
tion to provide a home for New York
journalists was incorporated today at
the office of the secretary of state. The
incorporators and board of dire6to»*s
are: Rodman Wanamaker, J. D. Jerrold
Kelley and Josiah H. Ohl of New York
city; Robert W. Chandler, Short Hills.
N. J., and Thomas P. Sherman, Rye,
New York.

who for reason of old age. accident
or some other cause of disability has
become incapacitated.

The higher cost
of the ‘lower’ price
You really can’t dodge “paying back” the dollar
you thought you were saving when you bought the
cheap suit that “would do just as well.”
But the paying back doesn’t end there—it goes on.
It’s like a hidden leak. It’s a constant tax on satis
faction. It penalizes you for the folly of trying to
bargain with quality.
It makes you pay tribute for having thought too much
of today’s saving in price—and not enough>of next
month’s and next year’s satisfaction.

SHOWING AT A GLANCE THE GREAT 'CHANGES MADE
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD BY THE PEACE TERMS
One map presents the new Europe, giving not only the frontiers laid down in the
peace terms but also showing by dotted lines the probable or possible boundary lines to be
determined upon, thus affording an approximate idea of the future European frontiers.
I Another map contrasts in a striking way the great Germany of 1914 with its
shrunken self of to-day, telling more plainly than words of the downfall of the arrogant
Empire of the Hohenzolleins. r
A third map shows the disposition of the German colonies in Africa; a fourth✓
map the distribution of the German Islands in the Pacific. /
The fifth map shows the Chinese city of Kiaochau which is awarded to Japan^and
its geographical relations to Peking, Korea, and the Japanese archipelago. kSj
These five maps, which are included in THE LITERARY DIGEST for May 17/
will make clear to the reader in five minutes what the war has accomplished in five years.

“Undiluted Americanism” the Message of THE DIGEST
The final echoes of the guns of the great war are
now dying away into silence and the peoples are
settling down again into the pleasant paths of peace.
And, so doing, it behooves us to take to heart the
vital lessons this supreme world-tragedy has t^jght
us. Among the most important of these ir the
necessity of solidarity, of community of aims and
ideals, of absolute unanimity. The war has proved
over and over again the inherent weakness of the
house that is divided against itself. We, in this
..country, must see to it that one language, one pur
pose, one high conception of life animates our
teeming millions from sea to sea. Only by so doing
can we hope to steer our ship of state safely through
/
the perilous shoals of political unrest, anarchy, Bol
shevism, and the like. As a teacher of Americanism,
which includes and typifies all that is best in national
life and aspiration, THE LITERARY DIGEST
stands pre-eminent among the periodicals of the day.
It epitomizes all that the fathers of this republic
sought to make permanent on our shores. ^ It brings
to your home and to your heart the message of an
all-embracing humanity, of an abundant charity, of
equal fellowship and impartial consideration. - Get
a copy now, read it through, and pass it along to
your family and friends. You will be a better
man and a better citizen if you make this a
weekly habit.
