...international equation. Mr. Keynes, in the most recent New Republic, outlines the French view. America sacrificed her money, as France sacrificed her blood and sinew, to attain a common result. The cash and goods advanced were called a loan in order to encourage economical spending, but in the first flush of victory they should have been generously cancelled. The British view is that France should follow England's example in arranging the steps leading to ultimate payment. The American view is that these loans are collectible and due like commercial debts, and since it refused annexations or indemnities in making...
...Colonial art. First among these was a painting, said to be the oldest existing U. S. portrait. It shows the countenance of Jacobus Gerritsen Striker, chief burgomaster of New Amsterdam during the governorship of Peter Stuyvesant, painted by himself.

Blows, kicks, curses, cuffs rained in profusion...

The remarkable thing about both these companies is their prosperity in boom and depression alike. In flush times, the poorer classes who ordinarily would not buy at all, flock to them; in hard years, buyers who, when prosperous, are willing to patronize more expensive stores, return to the chain stores to economize...
