Sweden Recovering
From Post War Ills
Stockholm, May 8.?Sweden's complete
future recovery from a series of
painful operations for post-war ills is
forecast in the official economic report
of the Sweden Foreign Office
Commerce Department just made public.
Its principal note of optimism
is the Swedish exchange. After a
year and a half of deflation and international
liquidation still under way,1
the Swedish krona is virtually at par.
The government experts find that'
the greatest obstacles to economic re-!
cc very lie in the competition of coun-'
tries with depreciated currency and
in the fact that wages have not yet
been sufficiently reduced. Countries j
. with low exchange can dump goods in,
Sweden at prices against which Swed-I
ifh manufacturers cannot compete.
Likewise, in the foreign markets, Swe-,
den is severely handicapped because I
of her high exchange rate.
The report states that there is a j
strong tendency toward revival in'
many lines of industry but that the
natural process of building up is delayed
by unsettled conditions in central
and eastern Europe, the monetary
troubles and the uncompleted process
of wage adjustment.
The Foreign Office finds that during
4-V?sv J 1 1 i? - * i "
vug nctunu iiun oi luzi anu me lirst
quarter of this year there was observed
a slight increase in the activities
of Sweden's basic industries ac-!
companied by expansion in foreign
trade, especially in timber, pulp and
paper.
*-ar* Although great interest has been
shown in an early return to the gold
standard, the Foreign Office reports
that doubts have been expressed of
- * the wisdom of adopting the American
dollar as basis of parity, as suggested
by some financial experts.
Bank savings and deposits show a,
marked drop during the first quarter
of the year. This is attributed to
consumption of capital during the
period of depression.
Never has the stock exchange witnessed
such drop in values of slocks,
the market having been affected, says
the report, by the heavy losses suffered
by industrial corporations and
the non-activtiy of others.
Sweden is still suffering from aj
uuyers- strike, wnieh accompanied the]
pinking price level and most industries!
are working on a scale of one-third ]
to two-thirds capacity.
The signs of improvement in uncm-|
ployment are weak. However, the,
number of unemployed is going down. |
There were 158,700 jobless on January
81 a^nd only 156,000 idle at the close
of February and unemployment con-j
tinues to decrease. Of these more than j
65,000 were receiving government aid.
The report emphasizes that although
large cuts in wage scales have
been made, real wages?that is wa?es'
compared with cost of living?are stiil
above pre-war standard and must be
lowered further. This heir to be likely
in view of the cuts in the United
States and England.

London, May 8.?There were eight
moro deaths in the United Kingdom

Mother's Day 1
o
a
Mothers' day is celebrated all over ^
the country so that hoys and girl* j,
every where may pause in the business
of the hour to think with love of ^
Mother Miss A??o To-,,:. -< r?u:i_
.. (% ycuvi.^ U1 1 llllcl f
'olphia, who originated the idea of |v
Mother;,' Day, hoped that it would be
i day of family reunion, that sons and :(
daughters, big and little, young and
<-1?1, who were away from home, would
on that day go home to Mother, and c
f\us bind more tightly the family ties, v
Now, s< metimes it is not possible for 0
a far olF son or daughter to return to a
Mother on the second Sunday in May,
and when that is the case a note or a
gift sh iuM be sent to Mother so she n
will know that the far away child is p
thinking lovingly of her. If as sometimes
happens a boy or girl has no s
mother of his own to honor then in
loving remembrance of that mother lie
should do some act of kindness to a f.
friend and thus honor the Mother's p
spirit. The slogan for the day is: In
honor of the best Mother who ever
lived, the mother of your heart; and [
every cue who observes the day wears
its badge the white carnation. The
flower should be worn over the heart,
and a 1 lossom presented to Mother as
an expression of love. Each year the .
celebration of Mothers' Day is growing
more and more popular.
w
"Misi Anna Jarvis, the founder of
Mothers' Day sought the aid of the r
Honorable J. Thomas Ileflin, and he j
at her request introduced into the (]
house of representatives a joint reso- ^
lution (which was agreed to), whore- ^
bv the President of the United States
/ VI
should designate through an annual
proclamation the second Sunday in ti
May as Mothers' Day, and 'request t|
the display of the American flag on ^
all government buildings, homes and j,
other suitable places.' The first j.
Mothers' Day proclamation was is- ^
sued by President Wilson on Saturday,
May 9, 1914, asking that the next J
day which was the second Sunday in ^
May, of *1914, be observed as Moth
i rs' Day. In almost every state in ^
the Union the governor now issues a
Mothers}' Day proclamation and since
101 ti the governor of Texas has mad ''
it a'p-actice to pardon a number of
P
prisoners on Mothers' Day."
Mothers are wonderful. There i? no ()
sacrifbe they would not make for (
their children, no task is too hard for
them to perform when the happiness n
and well being of their children is at (
stake, no service too menial for them i,
to do when it means comfort for the "
little c ne's whom they arc loving and
protecting. Nearly all great men and n
women Jay the credit for their great- jj
ness at the feet of their mother.
It is for the mothers of the past f
as well as for the mothers of the pros- n
ent that Mothers' Day is observed. t
The celebration of the day is a tribute c
to motherhood, the greatest and the v
noblest, aim of all women. fl

Philadelphia, May 10.?There are in

"European prosperity will spell also

"Ti e present depression in our exort
trade is not due to German, Ausi

but to a world lack of purhasing
power."
In speaking of Germany, Mr. Muchic
said: "The real cause of curreny
depreciation there is not due solev,
as is generally believed in this
ountry, to reparation payments excted
by the Allies but to false ecoomic
measures and theories indulged
i by the German government ever
*nce the termination of the war; its
ailure to impose adequate taxes imlediately
after the armistice and to
ollect such taxes after imposed; to a
riminal dissipation of its national
wealth through the maintenance of a

qual force to Austria and other Cenral
European countries."

Three Million Miles in
C1033 Country Flight
New York, May 8.?Three million
miles in cross-country flight without n
fatality is the safety record of aviation
in the United States in 1921, according
to a report submitted to
the Secrcary of Commerce by the
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce
of America with headquarters in New
^ ork.
The m port is based upon the signed
statem-n's of 125 operators in all
parts of tho United States, with
equipment numbering 'J00 planes, or j
rnproxim: ly ore hal' the total now:
in commer ial use throughout the
country. 1 ! - i icrprcti ! bv officials '
as an i\: dive answer to the query!
as to 111 l. i-'.atd of-flight invited by
recent a . i-'vos.
Three 1 ' a< '0. , the report states,
contribr to 'he serious embarrassment
1 f \m riran aviation?small j
capitalli Insufficient terminal facilities
and pop,ti doubt as to reliability.
The cor-' ion of these deficiencies
and th" ? n a quo-it opportunity f>r
the rapid "iov.-;h of ncr'al transport,
depends, it i- la'trd, upon federa
logulnf m a v] reasonable cont.ro'
througi ! an i;.l code. The report
has been la d I fore the house committee
<1 in; 1 do and forcgn commerce
which lias under consideration
the Wadsworth hill, establishing a bureau
of Civil Aeronautics in the Department
of Commerce.
The repovt says that flying !n the
United Stales may be placed in two
general classifications?operating by
established organizations which endeavor
to maintain regulations, and
demonstrations by the itinerant pilot

taught," says thr Aeronautical Chamber
of Commer-e report, "that, in safel
flying, there are the following venui-j
sites: (1) a machine sound, aerody-l
namica'ly and structurally; (2) an engine
of sufficient power and proved
liability; (21 a competent, conservation
pilot and navigator; (4) air ports;
ard emergence landing fields, sufficiently
close together to insure gliding
to safety; (5) nation-w'de weath-j
er forecasts specialized and adapted to |
the need of fliers; (0) nation-wide,
chart of air routes."
The report adds that the establish
ed operators, having a fixed point ofj
lesponsibility, approximated these i
requisites, with the result that, in 121
months they actually made 120,720
flights, covering 2,907,245 miles and
carrying 122,512 passengers. Only J
24 accidents occurred, in which six;
persons were killed. Of these three
were c'uo to unauthorized stunting,
two to carelessness in policing the
field and one to storm.
The report continues: "There were
21 persons injured in the 24 accidents.
These mishaps were due to causes
which could have been removed by
federal regulation , or supervision or
had landing fields, ' air * routes and
weather reports been fully available;
had the field help been more disciplined;
had the pilots been more alert
through consciousness of licensed repsonsibility
and had there been general
inspection of aircraft, engines,
accessories and supplies. Even so.
the record shows that 0,701 flights or
1.28.440 miles were flown for every i
injury sustained.
"Such reports as were available of
the 000 aircraft in the hands of gypsy i
mors snowed that inese machines.l
which also traveled about 3,000.000
miles and carried passengers prob-;
ably equal in number to those booked j
by the permanent operators, suffered
114 accidents, resulting in 49 deathsj
and injury, more or less serious, to SO.!
Twenty of these accidents are at-j
tributed in whole or in part to inade-'
uiiate landing fields or to the total
lack of terminal facilities.
In 1921, these air ports totalled but
140, an increase of 2 over 1920. Four
accidents are attributed to the lack of
weather reports and ten to the lack
of clearly defined rooms or limitations
in traveling between or over cities.
Equal in importance w ith ascertaining l
the qualifications of pilot and naviga-|
tor, is inspection of arcraft and engines.
Out of the 114 accidents, 22
may be attributed to faults which with
proper inspection probably would'
have revealed?four concerning the
plane, nine the cngin>- and nine an accessory,
gas or oil. This inspection
must be made at frequent intervals by
federal authority.
"Twety-nine accidents occurred
during stunting, 29 persons being
Min.a ...wi on ? >i

per cent of the total. In other words,
stunt flying in unrestricted areas was
responsible for almost as many casualties
as all other elements combined.
A governmental system of control,
limiting stunting for training of testing,
to certain areas will remove what
is probably the most prolific cause
of hesitation on the part of the public
to believe that flying is reliable.
"From the foregoing it is seen that
flying, even with the burden of unnecessary
hazard, imposed through the
lack of an aerial code, is not unsafe.
