J A SOUND CREDIT PLAN.
' 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.

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.

NEW YORK (A!') This Is the
eaon when the snap of rod and

the forest and the chatter of
streams, warble a siren aonff to
boys, old and you riff. To satLsfy the
thirst of youth for the out-of-door,
the Younr? 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. A. camp
which will be held from June to
September throughout the Lnited
.States for boys from 12 to IS years
of age.
This is only one phase of the
summers program. Thousands of
other boys who are unable to at
tend camp will be given opportun
ities for free swimming and gym
nasium training, hikes, educational
trips to factories, nature study.
Itlble study, and ahbrevlutd Mho
lastic courses in V. M. C. A.'s from
coast to coast,
'"V. M. C. A. camps." said Mr.
Cotton, "furniteh an outlet for boy
energy and provide a pathway to
ward the development of clean,
wholcf-oiiu- i ing. There boyish
Impulses are directed into proper
channel-, lead 1 up to tfae formation
of mental, physical, tocial and
spiritual pow t r."
Most of each day's program in
the . M. C. A. camps i.s given
ovr to sports and lemons in liv
ing tlie life of the gnat outdoors.
Keligious exi-rcises are limited in
the main to brief Bible Mudy

slightly from that in vogue in Jer

Instruction in camp varus from
wood lore to gymnastics. Every
effort is made to safeguard the

Jbodi-s and an avoidance of fool

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

of today. She can no longer stand
criticism. Her best friends re
main silent. Today she has become
the heir of PrusMaii militarism."

toms of cultural progress Jltut

If so. scarcely more than the
treble. And the League of Na

farce.
