War and economics do not harmon

War is economic waste'. It shoo? *

ended, the greatest war in the world's
history, it must he* clear that the* econ

Herein lies the* fundamental cause
of the* present high cost of living. I*or

covered somewhat from the effects of
the war. the United States will he de
pended upon to make up largely the
del i*/ ncy in the supplies of created
wealth. The United States must great
ly produce agi iculturally, industrially
and in every other way. Strikes and
lockouts, by slowing up production,
merely retard ami hinder the solution
of the very human problem of attain
ing comfort. Wealth must be produced
in the mass and individual production
must he stimulated and increased. The
Nj»red with which the world returns to
normal economic conditions will de
pend very largely on unit production;
that is. the quantity of wealth pro
duced daily by the average worker.
If the nation will produce for bene
ficent peace as earnestly as it produc
ed f< r wasteful war, prices will return
to normal within a relatively briel
period. (Chicago News.)

famous Latin Quarter of Paris, home
of the denizens of the world of art. **
for the time being, at least, a thing
of the past, killed unwittingly by an
invasion of American officers station

this section of the city so that they
might get a sight ot “real life that
the long-time habitues have been forc
ed to withdraw because of lack of
loom and high prices. The spirit ot

It is not dislike of the Yankees that
has forced the longhaired artists to
fold up his easel and steal sadly away
to find himself a new home. Far from
that. Rut oven a long haired artist
who. theoretically, can live in a hole in
the wall, must have at least some
room to turn about in.* and moreover
his pocketbook is not so long as that
of his friends from across the ocean.
So the Latin Quarter is Americanized.
And apparently will remain so until
Uncle Sam calls his boys home again,
when n’ohahlv the dreamer of dream >
will find his way back to his old
haunts.
There are at present perhaps tine
hundred American officers and sol
dvrs living in the Latin Quarter, mosr
t of them students at the Sorhoniv,
| whe e special courses have been ar
: rang, d for them. Many of the artists
! who lived there before the war had
j jyiven un their studios and answeie .
i the call of the flag. Consequently
i there were numerous nn:\v*Tvw'rits to
he obtained by the Americans. The
artist, upon being recently demobiliz
ed. came hack to the Quarter to lea:n
that there was no place for him, ''i
least at a price within his mean-. fv
the Americans pay well.
Artists who had remained in tie*
Quarter were little less fortunate f"1
they found that their purses wnu'd "•>
longer support them in the old st.vl *
in their eafes. Then, too, there un
doubtedly was the question of a
change of the atmosphere so dear to
the artist. His privacy was a thing o?
the past.
Take the Cafe du Pome, for ex
ample. this used to be a famous re
sort for wield|>*s of the brush and the
chisel. The tables of an evening were
filled with Hobemians at their games
and drinks, and the two billiard tables
were the battle grounds for large for
e«*s of artist combatants. The conver
sation centered on those things esthe
tic.
N'ow eyei v table is surrounded by
bulging khaki, the American cue ex
port is practicing fancy shots on the
greendoth, and the favorite chair of
the painter is occupied by a Yanken
captain. The conversation eddies about
Christy Mathewson and the chances of
