Mr. Levin- son hits the nail squarely on the head when he confesses his faith that "a loan of such, magnitude, easily possible in -war-time,, when loans are necessarily precarious, could be negotiated in. peace-time. for construetiTe purposes, when the safety of the loan Is beyond question." With the i loan ap proved and it conditions accepted by the governments of Europe and the United - States,, and ! with uni versal appeasement and peace; in prospect, the fountains of national loyalty and humanitarian ' feeling throughout the world would be so opened' up that the nations would absorb their several quotas of Ger many's bonds, 'hot- only with ease but with'enthu3l4sm- What a real ly spiritual experience it would be! Who would not like to see brought into play something like the elab orate machinery by which the na tions sold their war bonds, only now to be operated for the selling of bonds for peace! What could mark mora signally in world psy chology the fact that we had Win the War! And now Mr. Lev- inson show America how the war we fought can be won by this uni versal liquidation not only of debts and reparations, but of hatred and ill will, and threatened strife. " Is It too high a hope to expect that, these -.Christian- nations - ten years after their bloody conflict, will be celebrating the Christmas of 19 2S by a vast international crusade to enlist the people's in vestment in the bonds of peaeet among the best among the states In her death rate and in the num ber of seals sold per capita. One would pretend that the Christmas Seal Is all the tubercu losis campaign- or-? that the cam paign is the sole cause of tubercu Idsls falling death rate.

This would leave a instead of the slogan, "Buy a War total sum of Jl, 550. 000, 000 to be Bond!" the thrilling slogan, "Buy distributed among European na-' peace Bond!" Such a bond is tions in accordance with their Lue would command not only the "rv i 7 claims for specific reparations and the requirements of their. economic ? nd fiscal needsv An editorial in the Daily Xewe, which is throwing its enormous influence behind this proposal, suggests that the sum of perhaps $S00, 000,000 should go to France for this purpose.

Where can the required sum of six billion sell bands for peace! dollars be found? A moment's consideration will convince one that German bonds! issued to secure such a loan, under the conditions of the Levinson plan, would be gilt-edged. In the :first place it must be borne in mind that Germany's national debt after the consummation of this plan would be only six billion dol lars, t'nder the Dawes plan Ger many ia paying during the current vear'about 437,000,000 on re para t:ona.

The war we fought was lost at any rate. It has not yet been won. A year ago, without knowing at the time how to answer our own de mand. The Christian Century, de claring against a policy of cancel lation of the debts, published an CHRISTMAS SEAL WORK PRESENTED " (Co tinned from par 14) Is immune to it but susceptibility varies so widely that a vast field of study is open on this point alone, - Sanitation, hygiene and .; good economic conditions - stand on a firm footing as 'captains of the forces which prevent. Education along these lines ' is the master of elimination of tuberculosis entire-; It. ' It looks as though the-nation which Is generally clean, with a' wholesome food supply and of hab its and customs most conducive to clean and wholesome dally life, are! an group in the tuberculosis death rate. Also sections of countries where similar conditions prevail can but claim the same honors. In families it seems that a bad rec ord may end when knowledge brings them to a realization of the protection to be had from good personal hygiene and homo sani tation. In this field of hygienic pro tection there is one black mark; that is the failure to apply thor oughly the practice of respiratory hygiene. It is axiomatic that any cause for cough is sufficient reas on to cover the cough. A whole group of respiratory infections en ter into man's bacterial dangers and yet only T. B.'a are singled out for instruction along this line and many of them-enter Into its prac tice indifferently and half hearted- ly. Any person who coughs a cold Into your face would cough pneu monia, moningitis, infantile par alysis, Influenza or even tubercu losis if he had it. No cure In a specific sense has ever been developed nor it is cer tain that there ever will be. Such a promise Is not unreasonable when clinicians are coming more and more to realize that the man agement of a case Is decidedly personal problem. Even those taking the same special treatment have to be adjusted to It and vari ous plans of application used. Cer tainly the careful study of each case with the view of special dl rections and treatment gives the sicker patient the best chance to win the fight. Oregon has a right to be proud of her position in the campaign against tuberculosis.

Emley expects it to demonstrate that more than 90 per cent of the cornstalk can be utilized in production of good wall board, the remaining waste being water and other solubles. - ; . In addition, the scientists hops to work out a method for .treating the stalk so that thegam it, con tains will be saved and automatic ally provide a natural binder, eliminating the necessity of add ing resins.

The lack- of timber In that section lie thinks. would give ' them a good near-by market.' ' " The investigation of , peanut shells presented a somewhat' dlf-i ferent problem. Although it was known that certain non-edible su gars could be extracted from them, it remained for. the bureau to find the best process. That work has progressed to the point where it is cow posible to take out more than 65 per cent of the shell; by weight, in the form of xylose, from which certain organic acids can be obtained by oxidation. The bureau hopes to demonstrate that these can be made useful to the soft drink and tanning indus tries. The residue can be made into wall board simply by press ing. Study of the cotton burs had to start at the beginning. Since the introduction of mechanical cotton picking in Texas thousands of tons of the burs are collected at the gins tvery year. The bureau's an alysis has not gone far enough to indicate a method for disposing of them profitably. In experimenting with cotton seed hulls and the bran made from them, which as a sattle feed has been subject to wide price fluctu ations, the : Investigators, have .de termined that they- will yield twice as much furfural as oat hulls, now utilized for its commercial produc tion. The largest market for fur fural at present lies in the manu facture of synthetic resins as substitute for formaldehyde. In addition to the- chief ' by products of all of these wastes.
