r Internal Debts -
FOR every debt there is a credit somewhere ; and for every
. credit there is a debt. A bank deposit is a debt so far as
the bank is concerned and a credit so far as the depositor is
.concerned. A mortgage is a liability to the one who signed
it, and an asset to the one who holds it In times of prosper
ity people think chiefly of credits ; in times of adversity they
think of their debts. In good times people with money are
naming piaces to loan it; in Dad times debtors ire scram
bling to pay off what they owe. There are two sides, debtor
and creditor, to every business transaction depending upon
future payment. . . . . -
So long as these debts and credits are internal they can
cel themselves. Most of the American debts are internal,
that is they are owed to Americans. The interest payments
go from one group to another group and are in turn spent
by them. Whenever a debt or interest on it is not paid, the
creditor suffers for lack of the payment.
People frequently refer to the debtor class and the cre
ditor class, as though they were sharply distinguished. Most
debtors are creditors, most creditors are debtors too. A mer
chant' may owe his wholesaler for goods; but his customers
owe him for merchandise. A laboring man may owe for a
mortgage on his home ; but he may be a policy-holder in the
company which holds that mortgage. A farmer may owe a
--balance on a tractor or combine; and may be holding the
note of a neighbor who bought a piece of land from him.
There is no sheep-and-goat division of debtor and creditors.
Most families occupy both relations.
These facts which are enlightening yet seldom clearly
seen, and many more are set forth in a study "The Inter
nal Debts of the United States," edited by Evans Clark, and
made under the auspices of the Twentieth Century Fund,
which was established by Edward A. Filene. A group of ex
perts made the study ; and anion g the conclusions which they
offer; which pertain to the current economic situation, are:
,1. There Is no positive evidence of an intolerable debt bur
den upon our economy aa a whole, assuming even a moderate
improvement 1n general business conditions.
, 2. Railroad bonds and farm mortgages are less adequately
supported by earnings and assets than industrial and public
: utility bonds. Tet there is wide variation in these fields. Fifty
eight per cent of American farms have no mortgage indebtedness,
at all and of the 42 oa which loans are outstanding, two-thirds
now in difficulty are located in 11 north central slates.
3. The facts alone suggest that -blanket remedies, applying
to all debts alike, would be ill-advised.
4. In cases where debt payments are too burdensome, ad
justments should be made; and there should be government
agencies to facilitate the adjustment and to prevent costly re
ceiverships and foreclosures.
s 5. A marked Increase in industrial activity would ease the
strains upon most debtors.
5. So far as" the long-term future is concerned the ques
tion is raised as to the wisdom of financing our economy
through bonds and mortgages payable in unchanging amounts
over a long stretch of time.
The study has been published in book form; and is wor
thy of careful perusal by persons who are interested not only
In current problems, but in the future methods of financing
economic activity. N
Hoover and Detroit
THE history of this depression will prove to be intensely
interesting reading when authentic data concerning it
come to light. We incline to the belief that when the record
is made known the role which president tioover piayea wm
be regarded as far more heroic than that in which he was
cast by the last vote of the people.
Just now there is coming to light the story of the clos
ing of the banks in Detroit. It was the Detroit crisis which
precipitated the Michigan moratorium; and this in turn led
to general moratoria in the states and quite universal clos
ure of banks on the eve of the inauguration.
The president of one of the banks testifies that Pres.
Hoever was disposed to be "extremely helpful. He was per
sonally favorable to an RFC loan to bolster up the situation
in Detroit but was estopped because of the opposition of
Sen. Couzens, free lance politician. Couzens threatened to
bust thingr wide open if the loan was made. Since he was
head of the committee engaged in snooping on the RFC loans,
the administration felt that his antagonism would wreck
the value of the RFC by stirring up public agitation and finger-pointing
at aided banks. a '

Leni's common sense. The cold logic
with which she might have an
swered Gerstenfield was swallowed
up in a palpitating excitement.
His words kept pouring into her
like a strong drink, confusing the
brain and distorting all reality. She
became a stringed harp which his
hand plueked to produce blended
harmony and discord. He was strik
ing from her soul odd strains never
before heard in her secret self. The
man was neither good nor evil. He
was the wild eerie tone of a Gipsy
violin.
But why why can't I go?" her
voice was a vibrating echo.
"Because you.darentl" .
The silent voice from the deep
pit of her soul kept trying to tell
her that ths was a lie that she
loved Lucky Cavanaugh that she
was through forever with the pic
tures! Now or never was the time
to rise, to break the shackles, to
struggle out of suffocation into
clear air and sunlight. . . .
Leni brought herself up to her
feet. This time Gerstenfield did not
tench her. The struggle between
them would be settled by a stronger
force than physical contact.
"Bight or wrong I'm going to
him," she said out of her pallor.
Gerstenfield moved a hand
slightly, as though brushing it
through cobwebs.
"How like you! You think to help
this man Cavanaugh by going to

"You rush to him in your emotional

man was correct. Yet this was not
enough to still the twisting ache in
her heart.

A rudimentary sense of pity for
the first time entered into Gers ten
field's voice and checked what he
was saying.
The radiant gold of LenTs head
bent forward a little. Last night
unreeled itself, a tangled skein of
triumph and terror and a meager
measure of radiant bliss and de
vouring eagerness that she and
Cavanaugh had named Love.
Incredibly, it was scarcely twelve
hours ago that she had been with
him and was filled with tenderly
patient desire. Every, cell in her
body was again aching with uncon
trollable longing to be with him
again as soon as possible.

Gerstenfield had not been present,
flf what you say is true then I
wouldn't care. Yon convince my
mind I cant answer yon when you
say those things to me. But what

She looked straight into his burn
ing eyes. It was so easy to under
stand how he eould dominate tha
lives of thousands of studio people.
There was no question of deceit in
what he was saying now. He be
lieved himself.
And the only help on earth for
Leni against him was her woman's
instinct and the little glow of
warmth that lingered in her slow
beating heart.
"You think I'm wrong, because I
tell you something unpleasant," he
declared. "I hurt you and I'm
sorry. If I thought you belonged to
Cavanaugh I'd send you to him in
spite of hell and high water. But
you dont. Yon belong in the pic
turesyou belong with me."
"With you?"
Her voice was hollow, dated.
Gerstenfield did not answer at
once. For a split second his gaze
wavered. Then he reached out and
took one of Leni's hands. His clasp
carried no message whatever to
her; it had no mere significance
than the feel of a glove.
"With me because I am yonr
friend," said Gerstenfield in a voice
she had never heard before from
his tips. "A creature aa beautiful

Leni's voice became uncontroll
able. "Heaven knows I need a friend!"

Mucous Colitis
Mucous colitis, as.- Its name Im

or large portion of the Intestine.
It is caused by an Infection. Normal
ly, a great number of bacteria are
found in the oolon and other parts
of the large Intestine. They do not
harm the body and as a rule we are
unaware of their presence. But if
for any reason the walls of the In
testine are Irritated, or there is a
lowering of the resistance of the body
against-these bacteria, inflammation
occurs.
The sufferer from mucous colitis
complains of pronounced abdominal
colicky pain. The pain may be so
severe as to be confused with ap

tory ailment.
Bear In mind that mucous colitis
Is a serious disturbance and should

The disturbance Is often traced to

A marker commemorating the

Yes; Joseph Gale was governor

committee, standing for governor.
His name appears on the Cham
