DOINGS OF THE WEEK ~~1 NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS $700,000,000 Surplus for Fiscal Year in Sight, Ac cording to Mellon. Secretary ok the treasury .Mellon has officially admitted that the largest reduction In the public debt on record may be accomplished in the present fiscal year ending June 30 next. . A surplus considerably in excess of $500,000,000, representing the differ ence between ordinary receipts and or dinary expenditures. Is assured. Here tofore. while members of congress and others have Insisted that the half hlllion mark would be reached. Mr. Mellon has been unwilling to boost his estimate beyond the $383,000,000 total announced by the budget bureau last December. , That the surplus will actually ex ceed $000,000,000, and may go as high as $700,000,000, Is now asserted bv some of the experts whose estimates have usually been considerably above those of the treasury and whose pre dictions have been made good In pre vious years. A surplus of $500,000,000 will mean J an actual debt redaction for the fiscal year 1927 In excess of $1,000,000,000. Debt retirement through the statutory sinking fund will amount to nearly $340,000,000 and retirements from pay ments from foreign nations will rep resent more than $230,000,000. Debt retirements otherwise than by means of the surplus win amount to about $170,000,000. Adding a $500,000,000 surplus to this amount will menn a total reduction in the public debt of $1.070.000.000. - ' The debt reduction has exceeded $1,000,000,OOO-ta-'only three of the last seven years, the highest total being in 1920, when the debt was cut down by fl.18o.000.000. In 1922 the debt re duction amounted to $1,014,000,000, and in 1924 to $1,098,000,000. The debt was reduced In the fiscal year 1925 by *735,000,000 and In 1926 by $873,0t)o] 000. The total debt on December 31. 1926, was $18,975349,765. If the surplus runs as high as $615, "00,000, and many financial experts believe it may, the record debt reduc tion of the year 1920 will be equaled. A surplus above this amount will mean the breaking of all records in annual debt retirement. While the treasury still lacks ac curate totals on Income-tax receipts, K wan Indicated thaf at least $580. 900,000 has been collected. This ?mount would represent an Increase "f $85,000,000 over March Income tax Payments In 1926. * Complete reports the Internal revenue collectors ?'M?g the total ?P above $600, Q5" march 16 Harry E.

Justice Hitz in his charge warned the jury that the pertinency of the questions had already been decided by the court as a matter of law and that neither the fact that Sinclair, in refus ing to testify, acted on the advice of counsel or may have believed he had a legal right to refuse if he wished, could be considered as a defense for the oil man. TpHE first meeting of the new fed A eral radio commission was held at Washington on March 15. One of the first acts of the ifew commission was to announce dates, March'2U to April 1, for public hearings, the purpose of which will be to obtain methods of re ducing radio interference. A tentative schedule of topics for discussion in cludes , proposals for widening the broadcasting bands of wave lengths, a limitation of power, and reduction in frequency separation, simultaneous broadcasting with the same frequency, a division of time broadcasting sta tions, a consolidation of broadcasting service and a limitation of the number of stations. The hearings will not be open for Individual claims or com plaints. DECAUSE he published an article In Aa the Christian Enquirer declaring that the God of the Bible "preferred the savory smell of roast cutlets to the odors of boiled cabbage," Emest V. Sterry at Toronto, Canada, was found guilty by a Canadian jury of blasphe mous libel under an ancient British statute making it a crime to criticize the Christian God. Sterry's defense was that he was merely trying to lib eralize public opinion and that he thought his article would clear the controversy over the personality of the Deity. A UNITED STATES Supreme court decision of considerable impor tance to many communities, especially in the southern states, was handed down on March 14. The court held as unconstitutional the Louisiana state and New Orleans municipal segrega tion codes under which negroes are barred from residence in predominant ly white communities where a major ity of the white residents have not given their consent in writing. PREMIER MUSSOLINI has under taken to organize a vast insurance organization to guarantee long-time credits extended by Italian manufac turers to foreign purchasers of Italian mnde merchandise. It is estimated that before the plans can be fully carried out the new credit insurance institute must have a fully paid up capital of $10,000,000,01*> lire ?nearly $450,000,000. The field of op eration Is so large It is thought this money will be easily found. Fascist circles insist that all the money in vested in this organization should be Italian, thus freeing it from any for eign influence whatever. In conjunction with the credit Insur ance the government plans to station able business men abroad to keep in closest touch with market conditions throughout the world and to assist In placing large accounts for Italian firms. These "observation pobts" would maintain constant touch with the homeland through the consular service and other agencies. Italian industry is in a serious con dition. Many factories are closed or running on short time or with limited crews. It Is estimated that 250,000 people are out of work, or five times as many as could not find employment a few months ago. It is to remedy this condition and to Insure an in crease in Italian markets that the Mussolini government is making stren uous efforts to find foreign markets. THE completion of the Moffat road tunnel through the Rocky moun tains near Denver may bring about n new grouping of railroads and produce one of the most gigantic railroad com binations in this country. The tunnel is now nearlng completion. When it is ready for use it will mean the short of the swine extension plan to .mo bilize farmers, breeders, packers, re tailers, veterinarians, feed manufac turers, agricultural college professors, county agents and consumers to ins prove the quality of pork. ?

The tunnel, while built by the state of Colorado, Is un der lease by the MofTat line, a road that of Itself Is of no Importance ex cept that It controls tills new way to the West. A fairly well-founded story current in Denver is to the effect that lines are being laid for the llnklngup by control of traffic arrangements of the Burlington, the Denver & Rio Grande Western and the Western Pa cific with the Moffat road. If such a combination of interests should be ef fected, it would constitute a part of the Burlington, Great Northern and Northern Pacific combination. If In addition to this federation of northern and central transcontinental routes, there is anything In the reports of Burlington Inspiration behind the gradual linking up of short lines from <he Ohio river to New Orleans and the Gulf, there would be In prospect a rail system of a magnitude never Imagined before In America. UNITED STATES SENATOR W1L Ham H. King of Utah, on a visit to Porto Rico and other Carri|>ean Islands, proposed to visit the republic of Haiti, but the Haitian government refused him permission to land. The Haitian government held It was free to bar Mr. King, as he was making the visit as a private citizen, not as a sen ator. Senator King haB been out spoken In his criticism of the present regime In Haiti headed by President Luis Borno. The Haitian administra tion Is under the guidance . of the American government, represented by a force of marines. The State depart ment made an effort, through Brig. Gen. John H. Russell, American high commissioner In Haiti, to exert Its In fluence In an effort to have the order changed, but without success, the Pres ident of the republic claiming that the presence of Senator King would be a menace to the peace and prosperity of the people because bf the feeling of the public In relation to his efforts to recall the American troops from Haiti. Senator King visited Santo Domingo, but did not make any effort to land at Puerto Prince. The senator said he abandoned his plans to visit Haiti, as he feared his visit there might cause a clash between the American military forces and the people. THE libel suit of Aaron Saplro against Henry Ford for *1,000,000 because of the charges It Is claimed were made In the Dearborn Independ ent, owned by Mr. Ford, that Saplro was the head of a Jewish combination organized for the purpose of defraud ing the American farmers, opened at Detroit on<March 14, and It Is expect ed to continue for approximately 00 days. Attorneys for Saplro stated In' their opening arguments that testi mony covering 141 points would be In troduced. PRESIDENT COOLIDGE has Indi cated that the United States gov ernment will not consider the estab lishment of a protectorate over the government of Nicaragua as requested by President Diaz. The President Is desirous of encouraging peaceful con ditions In Central America, but feels that to take on a permanent obliga tion to maintain order In Nicaragua would be too much. The proposed alliance Is described as somewhat similar to that entered Into between the United States and Haiti in 1915. It would allow this gov ernment to intervene in case of revo lution to maintain order, and give the United States limited supervision over Nlcaraguan conditions. Another con dition of the Diaz proposal Is that a big loan should be made to Nicaragua. THE Mexican government la tiring to induce the American govern ment to await the declalon of the Mex ican Supreme court on the question of the constitutionality of the Mexican land laws before lifting the arms em bargo. American oil men have asked for Injunctions against the enforce ment of the law that would deprive them of the petroleum Interests, and a 'decision in this case is expected wlth ing a short tme. It is Intimated that President Calles may And this de cision an easy way out of the diffi culty, as the courts may decide that the laws creating the difficulties are unconstitutional. Evan*.

Most folks thought that Martha herself did not know just how good she was, but they knew. They called her the salt of the earth, the highest praise that they could bestow. Martha had lived on that street, In that house all her life. Her life was known through all Its'-phases?child hood, girlhood, womanhood. And It was all goodness, clear through. It was no wonder, therefore, that Martha thus praised and considered, should begin to feel that perhaps ber goodness did set her a little apart from other folks, good though they were. Take Myrna Jones and Mrs. Pettlgrew now. They were food wom en, but they couldn't hold a candle to Martha Vesper. She was so good that she was almost famous. Besides being good Martha was happy, which doesn't slways follow In spite of the proverb, "Be good and you'll be happy." At seventeen Mar tha had married Asa Vesper because she loved him so much she couldn't live without him. In consequence she had always been a contented wife. For Asa was forehanded. He earned money and, what was still better, saved money. They never lacked. Their two sons had received good ed ucations and been started on the way to success on their own. Charlie was In Oregon, Edward In a near-by city. Both were unmarried. Both still thought their mother the finest wom an on earth. One afternoon as she sat putting a patch on a pair of nicely laundered overalls that belonged to her hus band, Mrs. Birch, her next-door neigh bor, came bouncing In,?:? "Sick?" demanded Mrs. Birch, who was as stout and blowsy as Martha was slender and silver-colored. "Mercy, no I Never felt better In my life," replied Martha. "Then why didn't you go to the sewing meeting at Fanny Fitch's?" "I forgot all about It"?Martha glanced at the clock. "I can get there yet Just before It closes?I must" She sprang to her feet snatched hat and coat and flew, with a swift thanks to Mrs. Birch for remlndBig her. "Well, here's Martha!" cried Julie Breen as Martha entered Mrs. Fitch's parlor, where a group of women sat sewing. "Better late than never?sit right down here. We've been hem ming sheets for the Piper family? unbleached muslin. They're all done, so you're out of that Marthe. But you can take 'em home and bleach 'em out." "Olad to. Unbleached muslin bleached makes One durable sheets. I know for Pre used them. In fact. Pve just made a few new ones and PU bleach them all together. Might as well," Martha said with enthusi asm. "When I get through bleaching them -you'll see. They'll be whiter than snow." Martha took the sheets home In a large parcel. Tomorrow she would get them on the line. But the mor row broke black with an autumnal storm which raged for three succes sive days. Than came a telegram from Edward. He was coming borne for the week-end. Martha had to get ready for his visit She baked apple pie, ginger bread, rusk, snowy bread, a chicken and a squash. Then when Edward came there was no time for anything. He had brought his car? and his chum, a young fellow of his own age who worked at the same place. Between motoring and feed ing ber guests Martha had ber hands full. She packed a snack for them to take back to their lodgings?all the good things that had not been con sumed. Then she was so tired that she simply bad to rest It was more than a week before she remembered the sheets. She did not go to the next sewing meeting because Asa had a cold and she never left him when be was not feellnfc well. But she appeared at the third meeting. Julia Breen then read a letter of thanks from Mrs. Piper. The sheets had fllled a long-felt want. Members of the society smiled at tbelr good Martha. ?Bqt as she glanced across the room she saw Mlna Burton looking at ber with a curious expres sion. From that Instant the memory of that look of Mlna's weighed un comfortably with her. After the meeting Mlna attached herself to Martha and walked home with ber. "How did those sheets of yours turn out, Martha r she asked. "Fine," Martha answered promptly. Tou could baldly tell them from my best ones which I keep on the same shelf. No wonder Mrs. Piper was pleased. I should have been In her place." Mlna was silent "Don't you think Mlna Burton Is getting a little peculiar?'' Aieru,. a a Wed Mil. Birch. "U she? Hadn't noticed." "She certainly la." returned Martha with emphasis. Time of full house cleaning arrlyert with warm, bright weather made foi the purpose. Martha tdwa.vs cleaned her own house. She loved to do It Twice a year she tool; opportunity to look over her precloua stores. "Shan't need any sheets." she j thought, as she counted out the snowy pile. A mystified look came over her face. She began to lay one fragrant fold upon the other. There were four sheets she couldn't account for. Was I she getting forgetful? Well her list would tell the story. ? She got out her little book. No. there was no mistake. She had en tered the two new pairs she had bleached at the same time she bleached all those sheets for Mrs. Piper. Every one of her sheets was accounted for. But here were four extra sheets? Oh, dear! The door had opened. It was Mrs. Birch, who entered as she pleased. Martha turned from the open shelves of her press. Her startled glance revealed the angry red of Mrs. Birch's expressive face. "Martha Vesper." panted Mrs. Birch, "do yoo know what Annie Piper la saying about you? I'd never stand It If I were you. After the way you bleached those sheets for her, too. That's the way. Try to be kind to a person and they'll Ding It back Into your face. I'll never do another thing for that family as long as I live. A good woman like you to be so ma ligned." ' Martha had turned pale. "Walt!" Her throat was dry. "What does Annie say?" "She says." ripped out Mrs. Birch, "that you kept hack four aheets that the society Intends^ she should have." "Four sheets!" Martha shut her eyes. "You make her take back every word." stormed Mr*% Birch. Martha lifted her hand weakly to her forehead. "I?can't," she breathed, "I've got the sheets?there?four of them. Count them yourself. Maria. Then, as the full meaning of th? affair smote her, she burst Into?laughter. "I am certainly taken down a peg this time." she gasped between shrieks of merriment. "Martha Vesper stealing Annie Piper's unbleached sheets!" It was too much. And after a long stare. Mrs. Birch Joined Mar tha In a perfect gale of fun. An hour later - Martha took the sheets to Mrs. Piper. But'somehow she felt that she had not made things right, especially with Mlna Burton. Mlna would keep her own oplulon to the end. Even when she explained at the next meeting of the sewleg so Ciety, Martha could see that Mlna looked down her nose. It was funny?the funniest thing' that could ever happen. For It proved that even the best people are never free from the breath of scandal. Spanith Language* Three languages are spoken In Spain, all largely based on the ancient Latin. The one generally known as Spanish and which Is used throughout the greater part of South America, Is the Castlllan, which Is spoken by more than two-thirds of the popula tion of Spain. H has been called "the noblest daughter of Latin." Besides Its words of Latin origin, the ('na tulan vocabulary contains a large number of Arabic words, chiefly con nected with agriculture or science; Creek words, mostly of learned and modern Introduction; with trnces of Basque and Gothic. ? Britain'? Forward Stop Until the beginning of thin year no child born out of wedlock In Great Britain could be later legitimated by the marriage of the purenta. On Jan nary 1. 1027* an act came Into force making thla ;ioaaible. except In caaea where either parent waa married to a third peraon at the time the child waa born. Legitimation datea only from the time the act cnme into force, even though the marriage occurred earlier. Legitimated children are to hare the aame rlgbta of inheritance aa children born in wedlock, and they hare the right to have their blrtha regiatered. t Sea Superstition?

Shanghai, headquarters for ?bite soldiers and sailors and marines in China, the footsteps of thousands ? I*fn*ees, white and yellow, have been directed toward that same city, their hope of safety. Klangsu, the province l0 which Hhangha! Ilea. Is one of the most densely populated po " "?"? In th* world. It I, only ?lightly larger than Indiana, and even under normal conditions ten times as many people live there as Inhabit the Hoosler state. Chinese from all parts of the republic, speaking half a dozen different dialects, and foreigners from all corners of the globe make up the conglomerate mass of humanity. Even the country districts are so congested that the largest farms In the province are little more than small family truck gardens to the American farmer. They seldom cover more than three or four acres. Klangsu Is the pioneer province of railroading In the Celestial empire, The first road was built In 1870 from Shanghai to Woosung. a distance of 12 miles. But Klangsu owes much of its development to Its water routes be fore the railroad came, particularly to the Yangtze river and the Crand canal that flows nearly the entire length of the province. For hundreds of years the canal was filled with shipping and was the only means of communication between the north and the south: but today much of the canal Is In ruins, due largely to the construction of a railroad along the route and the development of lOangau river for navigation. Hun dreds of smalt canals branch off Into the back country. They are used to Irrigate farma and as highways, for most of the roads outside the large cities are wheelbarrow tracks. Shanghai la Big and Busy. Nearly 2,000,000 of Kfangsu's people live In .Shanghai. Thousands of the population are employed In the city's thriving Industries. There are more than fifty cotton mills and numerous silk, rice and flour mills, and hundreds of large factories producing matches, cigarettes, jewelry, pottery and many other articles. Lying In ' a protected location 12 miles up the Whangpoo river. Shang , hal Is one of the finest commercial ? P?rta In China. As one approaches i the harbor he sees nearly ten miles of docks stretching along the river ; front Huge ocean-going vessels from all parts of the world come and go almost In a steady stream, fast motor boats dart here and there through thd harbor, and the shipping Indoatry and factories along the river front roar with activity. One could easily Imag ine himself entering a busy New Eng. land port If It were not tor the sing song chatter of orientals emanating from Chinese junks and sampans that dot the water and cluster about the docks This hybrid city of the East and West Is normally what many a trav eler finds Paris Is supposed to be but Isn't?perpetually gay and carefree. Europeans and Americans, forced by business or government assignments to live there on the other side of the world In a none too kindly climate, seem with one accord to have deter mined to make the experience as pleas ant as possible. White men's working hours might have been framed by a visionary Socialist for the year 2000. In the piping times of peace many of fices open at ten o'clock, grant a rest period from twelve to two, and close at four so that the harassed merchant and banker and clerk may hurry away lo club or casino or tennis court, golf links or houseboat for what Robert Louis Rteyenson called "the real busi ness of life." , The Bund, the water-front thorough fare of occidental .Shanghai, la nor mally crowded with praapei ana.- as hurried Westerners; sad Babbling Spring road of an afternoon la thronged with stylishly dressed mer and women of lelsnre and fashionable equipages that would do credit tc Fifth avenue, the Champs Elysee 01 % the Ring strasse In the days of VI enna's glory. The city Is thoroughly cosmopolitan. Perhaps no other dtj of Ihe world surpasses It In this re spect except Cairo. The Foreign Settlements. - There are two Shanghais: the na tlve city, and the foreign concessions Shanghai was one of the first Chinese cities to be thrown open to" western trade, one of the fixe, "treaty ports" established In 1842. British merchants who moved In during the-next tew years obtained a concession to man age their municipal affairs In thelt I settlement. Tlie French and American I residents Joined In the arrangement. but later the French set up a munlcl I pallty of their own which Is main talned separately today. Residents ol other nationalities have thrown Ir their lot with the British and Amerl cans, snd today about 20 nations bavt arrangements with China In connec tlon with trad/ and extraterritorial rights In Shanghai. After riding two honrs north ol Shanghai by railroad, through fertile flat country to the Orand canal, on? finds himself among five million mors people of Klangsu within a radius ol 40 miles of Soocliow. Many of tits people In the outlying districts ars engaged In poultry raising snd even the dty people take pride In their flocks, particularly ducks.

Other Large Cities Near By. For centuries Soochow has been ths principal Chinese silk market. But Itr business Is not confined to silk and poultry, for In the bautars that line the streets and even, surround the temple of Buddha, one can buy any. thing from a bird cage to an outdoor haircut, or a good-for-everythlng pill Nearly all Soochow streets that are not Venetian style are narrow and are monopolized by 'rickshaws and wheelbarrows. If one does not ride one Is apt to get poked by the bars of,a 'rickshaw. Nanking. Wuslh, Chlnklang and Tangrhow are also thickly populated districts. Except Nanking these cities are all on the Orand canal. Each of them boast more than 100.00C Inhabitants. Nanking Is the capital of Klangsu and was capital of the em pire In the Ming dynasty. It.Is the largest walled city In the world, but only a small portion of the city Is now within the 21-mlle barrier. Nanking Is not comparable to Shang hal as a commercial center, but It boasts Its educational facilities and the development of Chinese scholars. Visitors to Nanking are at Once at tracted to the tomb of the first em peror of the Ming dynasty. An ave nue, a mile long, approaching the tOmb. commands a splendid view of the city. At one end of the avenue Is a tourer containing a large black marble tur tle. the Chinese symbol ot long Ute. On Its back Is a marble tahlet eulo gizing the emperor who is buried at. the other end of the avenue. Be tween the tower and the tomb the avenue Is lined on both side with sculptures of elephants, camels, lions and tigers, facing one another, and now and then one sees an enormous statue of a great warrior standing m a sentinel guarding the funeral way. The tomb and avenue are decaying and the marble statues present a pe- ' collar sight standing in a row In the middle of a field. Stones are pOad high on the elephants' backs, thrown there by Chinese who believe If the stones thrown remsln on the eiephaad.' they will bring good luck,
