The demise of the chaperon for
mixed social affairs is an econom
ic rather than a moral revolt, the
Oregonian says in a recent editor-’
ial. “It is a sorrowful duty to de
stroy the illusion of the young la
dies to the effect that they were
the ones who overthrew the chap
eron custom . . . This was one case
in which the boys were the adroit
ones, though they permitted the
girls to believe themselves the re
volters . . . they might insist they
wished to be alone, but it also hop
pens that dinner and the theater
for two costs considerably less
than dinner and the theater for
three.”

By act of the present congress
the civil code of Colombia, South
America, has been so amended
that a wife can alienate and ad
minister or manage her own prop
erty during marriage. This and
similar acts are largely due to the
efforts of President Olaya who has
consistently worked in the inter
est of greater recognition for the
rights of women in his country.
Mrs. Olaya is also a leader in ac
tivities of the women of Colombia
through her work in the Red Cross.

YWCA Will Continue
Cabinet Interviews
What is the matter with the
Y. W. C. A. ? What are its great
est contributions to the campus?
Individual answers to these and
other such questions are wanted.
Every girl who is interested in
doing executive work at the “Y”
next year, whether or not she has
had previous experience, is invit
ed to give her criticisms and
evaluations of the “Y” in an half
hour interview with Mrs. Mar
garet Norton, “Y” director, and
one senior member of the “Y”
cabinet. These interviews, which
are really informal chats, discuss
the girls' opinions of the "Y” and
her possible position in it.
The interviews, begun last Mon
day, have proved so popular that
they will be continued for another
week. Everyone interested is
urged to sign up at once. Fifty
;or sixty girls have already been
interviewed, and as many more

AMERICA EXPECTING TOO
MUCH IN WAR DEBTS
(Continued from Page One)
As to the practical side of the
question, it is worth bearing in
mind that America’s advances to
the Allies and other European
nations, most of whom were born
out of the collapse of the Haps
hurg, the Hohenzollern and the
Romanoff empires, during and
immediately after the war, aggre
gated about $9,500,000,000.
Against this sum, the Allies and
the other nations referred to ex
pended within the United States
close to 14% billion dollars. The
difference was made up of the pro
ceeds from the sale of American
securities which Europe, notably
Great Britain, had been accumu
lating for many years, and of the
shipment of gold to us. In other
words, for every dollar of credit
advanced, there was spent in this
country $1.45.
Let us assume that the total
purchases in the United States,
the profits accruing to the Ameri
can people aggregated 30 per cent,
which is not excessive a rate con
sidering the pronounced rise in
the price of commodities and man
ufactured goods supplied by us.
That is to say, we profited from
dealing with our allies to the ex
tent of close to $5,000,000,000.
Thi sreduces our original advances
to 4 '/2 billions.
Total receipts, including pay
ments made under the funding
agreements, prior to funding, and
on certain unfunded "war debts,
amount to more than $2,600,000,
000, reducing further the amounts
advanced originally, presumably
for a “common cause" to less than
$2,000,000,000.
Is it too much to ask the United
States which, after all, was a3
much at war as Great Britain and
j France and Italy, even though
■ theoretically not for the same rea
sons, to contribute to the “noble
experiment" the sum of two bil
lion dollars? Instead, we ask our
former allies to continue to pay
for two generations sums aggre
gating more than 22 billions, or
$2.35 for every dollar advanced.

But, believe ME, when
it comes to what I smoke,
1 want it rightI
You know how it is when a
fellow is accustomed to smoking
a good cigarette and he gets hold
of one that isn’t right. He’s
likely to get in a bad humor.
1 am a great believer in the
old saying that "quality will
tell,” and 1 have noticed that the
things which come to stay are
good things.
You can buy a package of good
cigarettes for 15c. Six cents of
this goes to the Government. So
that outside of the 6c paid to
the Government, you get a little
over two cigarettes for one cent.
The right kind of tobacco, the
right sort of paper—a cigarette
that's pure and good-tasting and
mild—that's the kind I want.
1 have been smoking CHEST
ERFIELDS for a long time. They
are mild and yet they satisfy.
