The strike having failed to bring about a satisfactory settlement, the dispute between miners and operators goes to a board of impar tfal umpires set vip by the president. This raises the l>asic idt*a involved in the proposed sys tem of industrial umpires. A get-together meeting is , inevitably resorted to after a lingering strike and its hardships. Is it possible to have the peace conference before the battle instead of after? Can a system of industrial umpires l>o devised, so safe guarded that justice would l>e guaranteed? Basil Manlv claims that his umpires plan provides suf ficient safeguards to command the respect and confidence of labor and capital—and the public, that great third party, or silent partner, to big industrial wars. Manly would give the proposed industrial referees a term of six years to prevent their removal as a matter of political patronage incident to changes in national ad-j ministration. Ho would enable both sides ol a dispute to challenge and eliminate members of arbitration Iwards, as we now cast out jurors who might bo biased. He would compel quick decisions.

Miller, of the I nn-entity of Washington. WtU, why notf .1 nickel isn't as important as it used to be. Lending to Europe Europe must have American (roods. Otherwise Europe's years of poverty will be multiplied and eventually America will be made poorer, too. When one country buys goods from another, it pays in gold or in exported goods of its own or by selling transpor tation space on its ships. Europe has no gold for export, very little goods and limited shipping space. There remains credit. If Kurope can borrow money in America to pay for American goods, the present critical situation can be met. The transaction is familiar to every mail town where the local bank loans money to buy raw materials or semi-manufactured goods. Then the mill turns out the finished product. After the finished product is sold the mill repays its loan out of the profits. Europe wishes to copy that process. But there is a difference in Europe's case. Europe wants to spend American money in America to take out of the country American materials. That means making Europe America's own rival for America's products. .—Borrowed money usually is spent more extravagantly IkM earned money. Europe's need*, too. nre more imme diately pressing than America's. Therefore, unless checks are devised, the Europeans would use their American loans to bid up American prices. So, the cost of living would advance again. .... American loam* to help Europe shouldn t b€ uaed ftjcain.nt the American people. Nevertheless, the loans must be if Europe is to be made self-supporting within a measurable number of years and without an international Catastrophe. Therefore, fair prices must bo established by 'government regulation, which is the only effective means. There must be a limit, too. to the quantity of American mods sold abroad. This limit would force the Europeans to scatter their purchases. Thus, Americans wouldn't suffer a domestic shortage of any product by going to Europe's assistance. Moat of the machinery now exists in Washington to pre vent profiteers pocketing America's loans to Europe and p'ueking Americans and Europeans simultaneously. Little additional authorization would have to be made by con gress. Thus safeguarded. America, for the second time can save Europe and protect American interests as well. T. R.

The Movie Oasis America's sixth industry is doing something else beside* supplying wholesome amusement, pleasant entertainment and enlightening education. For the movie palacc, in the city, serves as a dropping-in place for the weary, a resting spot that has come to be ln the small towns, the movie house has Ski ways been more or less of a social center, where friends abd groups of friends are sure to meet "of evenings." Ttfith the passing of the saloon all over this country, nn more and more are sure to take to the movies at the nrach hour. Women shoppers long ago discovered that the movie manager catered to this "drop-in" spirit. Here, in the semi-darkness, is balm for the soul-weary as well aa for the leg-weary, a safe retreat, where one may think and for the hour forget his troubles. Millionaires who enter the movie palace for just an hour of peaceful reflection, without regard to the pictures, come out dyed in-the-wool fans. For the movies have grandly and won derfully improved since the old nickelodeon days. What has become of the chap of whom people used to gay: "He'd be a great man, if he didn't drink"? One day Mr. Darwin was out hunting beetles, so the story goes. He found one rare specimen which ho caught in his right hand; a little later he discovered another and secured it with his left hand. On his way home, he came across a very rare beetle. Both hands were full and there was danger that the de sired beetle would escape. With but a second's hesitation —pop—the beetle in his right hand went into his mouth and the wanted specimen was caught. Thusly the three were carried home at the expense of a badly pinched tongue. An example of the resourcefulness and determination of the man who gave us the Darwinian theory which revolu tionized all previous theories of evolution. You'll scarcely be asked to catch beetles in your mouth to succeed, but you will be required to think and to act I quickly to grasp opportunities as they come to you. And, very often rules of action will not be found in the [ experiences of lift.

I WE'LL SAY SO Anawrred Outdoor Thinking BY H. ADDINC.TON IIRUCE Author of "The Kiddle ol PerwnaJlty," "P»)r« hulogjr and Pgrentfiood." Kir. There is a valuable hint to all brain workers in the experience of children who receive their education in so-called "open air" schools and "open window" classes. These special outdoor schools and semi outdoor classes were originally established for the benefit of tubercular children. They are now being increasingly used for chil dren in perfect health, for the reason that they have been found most advantageous for educational purpose.-. It waa discovered, in the first place, that the tubercular children educated outdoors not only gained in health but made rapid progress in thru stiidn- . Thi* l»*d to tin belief, confirmed by experience, that chil dren in general would think lietter and learn more easily if given outdoor or Hemi-outdoor schooling. Which is, after all, only what one should expect in view of the known dependence of the brain on a good air supply for its proper functioning. And if children benefit from outdoor thinking, undoubtedly adults would similarly benefit. Climatic conditions, to be sure, have to be taken into account. There are times when outdoor thinking is inadvisable for anybody. But even at such times it is pos sible to secure a better quality of indoor air than most people now have. And, when weather permits, brain work- Successful Life Not Merely One Thing After the Other BY TIIK RKV. <ll AKI.KH HTKUU. * Ho fight I—not aa one that beat eth the air—" Indecision. lack of a goal, failure to register- uncertainty—theae are (he thlnga that Paul condemned In thla bit of a picture of tha way tie hlmaelf atruggled to win And Paul had to fight In hi* at tempt to develop character lie frankly admitted that he waa eonatantly atruggllng —he said that he often found hlmaelf doing the evil thing* he didn't want to do. but al waya rtiming back again, and begin nl?»«r again What ibived Paul wnn the fact that he had a goal—that there waa some thing ahead which ha waa deter miiie«f to win If. when he had failed, there waa the realisation that he had nothing to which he might look forward, he might eaally hare a lumped ao badly that the whole thing would have be come hopelwaa—and that would have ended mattera for him.

Even if, during working hours, they arc held indoors by the nature of their occupa tion, they can secure virtually outdoor con ditions by devices for ample ventilation. And outside of working hours they can usually, if they so choose, go outdoors to think. The weather may be too cold to permit them to sit outdoors in any comfort, no matter how snugly- wrapped up. But they can at least walk about. A leisurely walk in the open is itself conducive to efficient thinking, as many a brain worker can testify from personal experience. "Whenever I wish to develop ideas." is the way one well known writer puts it, "I leave my study and go for a quiet walk. As I walk I meditate. And I find that ideas come to me far' more readily than if I were content to seek them at my desk. There is nothing more stimulating to the mind than fresh air." People, indeed, are too prone to forget that they are by nature outdoor beings. Civilization has tended more and more to indoor modes of life. Yet something of the old outdoor habit must be regained if men and women would utilize to the full their mental as well as their bodily re sources. Red Cross Alchemy Please send alt Magazine*.
