' Individuals and institutions in many sections of the country are becoming concerned over what they describe as a popular tendency to go into debt for the common sat isfactions of life. Their concern frequently assumes the proportions of akrm. When these alarmists speak of a "popular tendency to go into debt for the common satisfactions of life," theyi are referring to the growing tendency of the millions to purchase automobiles, phonographs, furniture, radios, jew elry and good clothes on the partial or deferred payment plan. They believe the mortgaging of incomes is contrary to economic laws. I Every preaching refouner must have his 'horrible ex amples" and those who harangue against the "pay. while ou useTit" plan "are "no" excepfioh. They have dug up "an instance or two where wage earners have pledged them selves to meet monthly payments in excess of their entire incomes and on the strength of them arc condemning the1"1 ltM' number. entire system. If there were any truth in the charges of those who would deprive the masses of their present extended credit the easy payment plan" would have "blown up" long agrv The mere fact that the plan has lecn almost universally -'adopted in this country is proof enough that it is sound. For further proof ask the credit men what the percentage of loss is and ask the average family whether the system benefits or works a hardship upon it. The credit man and the family are the Iwst defenders of the system. ! And yes, the funny wrt of it l that they were sardines. . "I can't understand the combina tion to my wife's clothes."

MOTMKR. More than two hundred yeai-s U-fdie ChiisL ;i imwprfiil Kgyptian ruler named Ptolemy II built u marble tour four hundred feet high on the island of Pharos. Near the top he had placed on a marble tablet, his mime. For many years the name of the royal founder stood out conspicu ously. Rut it was written on mortar made to imitate mar ble, which was spread over the tablet. Time gradually removed the inscription: the mortar crumbling, fell. Then it was seen that, carved in the en during stone, was the name of the Creek architect, Soatra tus, who had taken this course to perpetuate his own name as the real author of the teauty and grandeur expressed in this lofty pile. So, many an eminent man, at the pinnacle of his fame, is regarded as the pnduet of some party or system or method of education. Rut. with time the lain! disappears, and there stands out in that life the deeply engraven name. "Mother" often all unknown to the multitude that honors her sow. With the coming of Mother's Day each year people in high stations of life and in low stations, regardless of the ricgree of success to which they may have attained, pav solemn and profound tribute to the name of Mother. Too t ften we are prone to le slow to show and express tha. love and respect for our mothers and too often are we reticent alwuit paying tribute where the greatest tribute is due. Vet the true Mother always knows and under stands. Her greatest reeomivnsc is not in receiving obvious expressions of a child's love, fine as such expression may , m much as in the realization that she has given to the world a good and useful citizen whose life may In-eoni-the greatest evidence and manifestation of tribute due.

Men's Christian association Is already making: prep arations for its hundreds of Hum mer camps, the attendance of which is expected to exceed that for any previous year since the first camp in 1&8S. Arthur S. Cotton, head of the Boys' Work of the National Coun cil, estimates that the enrollment this year probably will reach I0M, 000 for the ju V. Si. C.

Dr. Brandes Declares Culture Thing of Past BE H LIS' AP) Georic Hrandcs. the lrnntsh critic, recently lectured in lierlin on "Europe as it is to day." lespite his ii e-.rs, the speaker's mental keenm-to and elasticity are surprising, lirandes is not Infatuated with the Europe of today. Culture, he bi-lievea. is a thing of the past. In 1313, he said, the firvM of the impending world conflagration were glimmer ing everywhere in Europe and quite as much In Paris as elsewhere. When h made thi-i declaration there was a dead silence in the crowded hull. He continued to iM-ak of the pernicious Influence of the press everywhere in bring ing about th, World war and was scathing in his remarks when he broached the question of cultural developments in Europe since the war. ile mrntioived (hat a well known French journal!! had asked his opinion shout the international state of culture. Culture," he had replied, "is dead. Therefore there can lc no question of an interna tional culture. I,ook nt ih France of today. She can no longer stand criticism. Her best friends re main silent. Today she has become the heir of PrusMaii militarism." lr. Brandes admitted that Itus sia. Japan and China showed symp toms of cultural progress Jltut wh'-rtdn was EurojK progrctcing in the world's cultural develop ment? he asked. J Hd she still play :l part in the concert of nations? If so. scarcely more than the treble. And the League of Na tions? With a disparaging ges ture he declared that institution a farce.
