M A A H - P o o h ! ’ POOHJ it ’ s There is much ado right now over the visi^ to this country of Queen Marie of Rumania. She is touted as the most beautiful queen. We are told she prefers American cigarets,. that she wants Amer­ ica to love her, that 6he has refused to use any bnt American soap in the royal bath. Already, ire learn she is asking for apple pie and American oysters. Remarkable what a kick the American public can get out of this more or less tommy rot because it has to do with a queen. But Marie is not all fickle. There is another side to her, one which would endear her to the hearts of the people of this great nation if it were called generally to their attention. This queen, unlike the snob most of us imagine a monarchist to be, is courageous, tender of heart and with a great devotion for her people. As we read in the New York World: “ No woman in all Europe,” Lady Astor said “ lias a better war record than Queen Marie. She showed the greatest courage, tenderness, and de­ votion. Do you know that she went into places where nobody else would go — into leprous build­ ings and villages filled with influenza, where, the dead were piled high and people dying of disease, and others were afraid to enter! “ What she did is amazing; but in all her writ­ ings which are read in America slje never spoke of these accomplishments. She has never written a great story about it — merely fancy things. “ She has the blood of all the Czars in her veins, and is a courageous and powerful q^oman of great charm. She is like a warm fire when go go into a room. There is nothing small or mean about her, and she is like Catherine the Great. Every one about her. loves her.” It is this side of Queen Marie that we should see and love, not her beauty, her bobbed hair or her preference for American cigarets.

What would happen if a giant switch could shut off electric current from world use today! E. B. Criddle of the Southern Sierras Power com­ pany, Riverside, California, shows the depeadence of humanity on electricity. He says: “ We are today living in what may well he termed the ‘electric age’; the age of all others most replete with oppor­ tunity, action, romance. It haa been called by some, and I think miscalled, the 'jazz a g e / but, is not this very jazz a feeble if perchance a misdirected effort, to get into step, shall we say, into synchron­ ism, with the spirit of the times; to keep up with the inevitably swift pace of this age of electricity which has linked together in intimate and immediate contact the uttermost ends of the earth. “ E—Embodiment of mystery. “ L—Lightener of burdens. “ E—Energy; light, heat, power. “ C—Carrier of winged messages. “ T—Towering above all other forces. “ R—Revolutionizing modern industry. ‘ ‘ I —Irresistible, incomprehensible. Headlines in a Brigham City, Utah, paper read, “ Beat Growers Get Increase.” How much better this sounds than to read a headline, “ Due to Foreign Competition, Sugar Beet Prices Must be Reduced.” The tariff on sugar is a perfect illustration of the equalizing tax which is necessary to prevent a cheaper labor foreign product from destroying a home industry. The theoretical amount the individ­ ual would save' on duty-free sugar is infinitesimal compared to the amount he would lose in wages or business, if an agricultural industry such as beet sugar production was destroyed for want of reason­ able tariff protection. It is our desire to trade with foreign coun­ tries, both as buyers and sellers, but as buyers and sellers, it is essential that this trade be on un equalized basis, so that American laborers and farm­ ers will still have jobs and the wherewithal to bny the products which our foreign neighbors can sell in this country.
