When refoimers criticise moral conditions, it simply drives them out of the town, mid then everything is nil' right Again. '. -.1 '. ' j . According to the recent report of the American Bank el's' .association, the people of this country have a savings bank nest egg of $23,134,050,000, a growth of nearly two billion dollars in 1925. There are 43,850,000 depositors and their savings average $527. Such a showing and increase is due very largely, we imagine, to the improved prosperity of the country oh a whole. More of it should be due to the general teaching of the advantages of thrift in our schools and in our homes,' Young people do. not receive s much training in saving and in meeting their obliga tions as we could well' give them. . .'- ;. i BURNING PAPER MONEY. . Failing in every other plan to restore the value of the . franc; and save the French government from bankruptcy, (iome ingenious Frenchmen are urging that half the out standing paper money be bunied.- . Tliat, veiy likely, would make the remaining paper francs worth about twice as much as they are now, if no more were printed in the meantime. But a financier points cut that it would also bring a hew problem to fuce. ,. ( The present' French debt, in all its immensity, ia now bused on this inflated, low-priced, franc. If the purchasing power of the franc were doubled tomorrow, tho amount of the debt would be just the same, with only half the money to nay it with. ; . ' It would be the same with private debts. Loans of cheap money would have to be paid with dear money. Cred itors would gain. Debtors including taxpayers would lose. ; Naturally a nation that objects so strenuously to 'paying high taxes will not countenance such a plan. Ger many and Russia havo deflated, their, currency,.' but the prospect of French deflation is still far in the future. : aiui-.. . .i' ..-.iau . -j w 1 1 " APARTMENT HOUSE PLAY ROOMS. ... "A well-equipped nursery is n part of every largo fac tory, and excellent care is taken of the children. Recently large aortment houses have been erected housing around 200 people, and containing a kindergarten or children's room; with a capable nurse.' '.When the mother wishes to go out, 8he may leave her children there under careful supervision." ; This is not a picture of an American community. It is part of a report of a speech by Scott Nearing, telling alxmt some of the things he saw during it five months' sojourn in Soviet Russia. He reported also nursery schools and playgrounds planned especially to relieve mothers of the 24-hour care of children. Rut attendance ut any of these institutions is not compulsory. If a mother is compelled to work for a living or if she !b actively engaged in some form of pub lic service, she takes advnntage of these nurseries and play places for children. There appeal's to bo nothing menacingly communistic about this development. In fact, it appeals to thoughtful persons in parts of the world quite remote from Russia. If families with growing children have to live in apartment houses, it docs seem important and wise to have healthful play places close at hand. ' - ' 'HOXIIN. NEW. YORK. Apr. ' 8.
