THE SELECTION of "Hell Muria" Dawes and Owen D. Young
us the unofficial representatives of the United States oil the
commission to investigate Germany's financial condition, gives tho
best possible assurunce that both a veracious and 'picturesque report
will bo the result. ;
Brigadier General Dawes scurcely needs an introduction. As lieu
tenant-colonel of railway engineei'S'-in active service in France, anil
11s a member of the Allied Liquidation commission; )e had probably
the best opportunity of any American to obtain first bund understand
ing of the intricucics of the problem which he is now called upon to
tolvc. A banker of high standing, first director of the budget und
comptroller of the currency, Mr. Dawes has both the technical know!
edge and coura-ge to not only obtain the facts, but to give them un
varnished to the world. '
Mr. Young is not so well known, but his selection too is an excel
lent one. He was appointed to the second industrial conference by
1 'resident Wilson, is a lawyer of recognized ability in New York
City, but is perhaps best known as a live wire, up-to-date and very
successful business man. .
,,
.. The phenomenal success of the General Electric company is largely
attributed to Mr. Young's keen business insight, resourcefulness and
uggressive leadership. Like his official co-worker he is strikingly hu
man, direct, unconventional, cares little for traditions, and can b(
depended upon to brush aside red tape, and go straight for the facts
and the results in characteristic Yankoe fashion.
Secretary Hughes isVery 'fcareful'to say that Messers. Dnwcs nntl
Young act only "in an individual itud'private capacity and not in uny
measure as representatives of the' United States."
So much tho better. Unhampered' by official obligations and reti
cences these two distinguished "Go-Getters" will be able to ferret out
the truth if the truth can be found. '. And that is all this country
wants. The people are sick of propoganda. They want the facts, and
with the facts feel capable of drawing their two conclusions, as to
who is right and who is wrong, across the water.

Where is the better place to wel-i parents of the bride anyway they're

a family goes li for expansion, shall
the lady of the house go to the hospl
tal to pick out her
baby, or shall a doc

come and deliver
one at home?
In the first place,
some of us have
simply got to stay

babies. Suppose we
live in Brooklyn, as
So many Now York
folks dot Well, we
must arrange some
how to receive
babies annually In
Brooklyn; all the hospitals in Brook
lyn provide JUBt 300 beds for obstetric
coses, half of which are In private
hospitals, the other half in public

must stay at homo and have a doctor
and a nurse deliver the babies there.
It costs more money, undoubtedly.
to stay at homo to have the baby de
livered; than it does to go to the hos

baby to curry back to the house or up

possibly afford to stage the affair at

. , QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS T .
1 Gland Surgery .- tut,'.
The were showing a picture a few
months ago of gland surgery, and I
wondered if it was faked. Do Bur
geons, as a rule, believe in this work,
and is It really restoring youth ? (W.
B. K.) . .
Answer. If a surgeon could really
restore youth by an operation, the
chances are the surgeon would never
permit a publio exhibition of the
work.
Child Training
My patience is nearly exhausted,
trying to train my 22 months old baby
to use his chair. I started to train
him at the ago of eight months to
have regular times to use his nursery
chlr, but then we were away from
home a good deal, and thore were not
always tho conveniences for tho little,
fellow. Unless I UBe enemas or other
means to force his .bowels, thore are,
no1 results, until ho 'leaves the chair,
and plays about. (Mrs. F. E. )
Answer. It is better to place the
child on tho nursery chair at regular
times tusuauy alter morning, noon
and evening meals) and keep him
thero 10 minutes if necessary. Perso.
vero along this line;, never resort t
physics or other artificial "forcing." ,
