The article notes France has rebuilt about 500,000 of 741,833 damaged buildings by September 1 and 20,000 of 22,900 destroyed factories have been rebuilt. Six million acres of farmland were unfit, with 4.4 million cleared for crops. Damages total 103 billion francs with 44 billion spent on repairs and 4 billion paid by Germany.
Electrical wizard Steinmete foresees canned sunlight as a solution to future food and power shortages. He warns of overpopulation and famine but credits human invention with expanding bread belts and storing sunshine to grow food in barren regions and to fuel when coal runs out. He imagines future orders for sunshine as a commonplace product.
The text reflects on finances and ambition within marriage, noting that a wife and children motivate a man to work harder and develop earnings. It cites figures like Steinmetz, Shapley, and Ford, and posits Ford as the most important of their ideas, presenting marriage to the right person as a key investment for a man.
German toy makers regain presence in American markets after World War I with a flood of inexpensive hand crafted items. Imports total near 11 million in 1920, about two thirds lower in 1922, while Americans push big scale machine made toys. Estimated Christmas spending may reach 50 million dollars, sustaining jobs and incomes despite competition.
In a Pullman car and a dining room, people argue over the best razor or the ideal meal. The point remains that all aim for common goals such as happiness, good meals, money, and public improvements, though paths differ. The author urges recognizing shared aims with opponents to find mutual shortcuts.
The piece notes Mussolini’s faltering stance and a dinner attire anecdote. Clemenceau returns from America while Lloyd George faces opposition from Poincaré. Public sentiment on radio weddings is mixed. An Oxford clergyman may deliver a message from beyond. Power presses will replace hand engraving in the Bureau, saving 1.3 million dollars. Germany’s threat is said to be isolated ex‑army officials resisting work.
A Dublin dispatch reports Irish Free State officials ordering De Valera to be shot on sight amid talk of authority and risk. Ismet Pasha at Lausanne calls for deporting minority races, challenging progress in Turkish policy. Lloyd George’s fate is debated by a French observer as different nations weigh ethics and influence. Mexico buys portable school houses from the United States, viewed as a safer export than weapons.
A 1922 survey of world affairs notes Poland's fragile inauguration scene and suggests drastic actions elsewhere. It discusses Turkish ambitions, Irish politics, antelope extermination claims, and Florida pulp substitutes, with satirical takes on U S concerns and congressional jokes.
The piece cautions readers on botulism, noting its deadly potential and that the poison can be present in potted food. It urges thorough cooking before eating and remarks the danger’s rarity in civilized portions of humanity.
Thomas Mann, once a monarchy loyalist, now speaks to university men about a republic. He warns that punitive moves like seizing the Ruhr harm Germany and echo 1871 Alsace Lorraine actions. He urges a border that respects the Rhine and stresses justice over revenge to secure durable peace and rebuild Germany on republican foundations.
The piece contrasts taxes with death, critiques Ohio’s uniform tax system, and notes the Ohio Tax Association’s efforts to reform. It then recounts Peter Faneuil’s gift to Boston, the proposed roof and preservation work at Faneuil Hall, and old Boston debate over a publicly funded market.
A seven vote majority secured the hall’s adoption and construction as a meeting place for Patriots who later embraced the principles of the American Revolution. The original structure has grown, but its core remains a seed of liberty as Wendell Phillips called it the cradle of liberty.
The article surveys dance as a social force from ancient to modern times, noting Puritan bans and later reforms, then shifts to a review of a diary by Charles R. Walker on a furnace worker’s twelve hour day debate, and a critical recounting of Tolstoy’s domestic life through Sophie Bers, highlighting tensions between idealism and lived reality and its impact on Russian communism.
The author argues that twelve hour workdays strain good citizenship and family life by blurring weekly hours into a constant cycle of sleep work and meals. He notes that this schedule discourages marriage and normal home participation, and may attract a workforce focused on mechanical achievement rather than initiative and adventure. He doubts the eight hour remedy and warns of negative social effects, especially for younger workers.
