MITH Fifth Ave, Bldg. ONE BOOM PUNCTURED The action of the MeAdoo conference in Chicago in voting him a complete exoneration and “demanding” his leadership in the forthcoming presidential campaign is not without its humorous side. For those who gathered there were for the most part embroiled in ay McAdoo campaign to such an extent that it was not to be expected that they would do otherwise. The gathering of a few of the faithful and the . ,) attempt to dissipate all criticism with one sweep of the hand is quite like Harry Sinclair completely absolving Albert Fall in the Teapot Dome affair. One southern delegate, it is _ reported, sought entrance to the McAdoo meeting but was déhied because he was not ‘a true McAdoo booster.” Of course, it would never have done to have that delegate enter the meeting and spoil the unanimous endorsement given the presidential candidate. Mr. McAdoo appears to have been engaged in a perfectly legal and legitimate business in representing Mr. Doheny, and if he received fees which make the average man’s eyes bulge it is perhaps a tribute to Mr. Doheny’s liberality and not to any particular gain that might come through the em- ployment of a former cabinet officer. The reports of Mr. McAdoo’s appearance before government departments while Mr. Wilson still was president and the reports of exorbitant fees which he obtained for negotiating coal contracts with Italy is hardly such a plain case. But Mr. McAdoo has been bathed in oil. The people will be suspicious of one who was so clever as to get $150,000 for representing Mr. Doheny for a very short time. Right or wrong, it will weigh heavily against Mr. McAdoo. He promises to do what must be considered most improbable— cut taxes and pay the adjusted compensation—and it will require quite as much dexterity on his part to place himself in the right light to gain a considerable block of votes for the presidency. CIGAR The cigar was invented just 125 years ago. Previously tohaceo was smoked only in pipes. In 1799 Mrs. Prout, of South Windsor, Conn., made the first cigars and began sell- ing them. ‘ More than 10 billion cigars a year are now turned out by facu vies. But the cigar is steadily losing out. Cigarets became “respectable” during the World War and are gaining popularity. Women alone smoked seven billion cigarets last year, the trade estimates. Quite shocking for grandmas. America taught the world to smoke tobacco, says Her- bert Dunhill, the pipe maker. The history of tobacco is his hobby, and he doubts the claim that tobacco was smoked in China thousands of years ago. When the first white explorers came to America, they found the Indians regarded smoking somewhat as a religious ceremony, believed that tobacco had medicinal powers, and frequently had their witch doctors prescribe it —like the thirsty man under prohibition. ' + LOSES ITS THRILL Stefansson, famous polar explorer, s he will make no more journeys into the unknown regions. Exploring, he laments, has lost its thrill. The flying machine, radio and modern inventions have largely taken the uncertainty out of exploring, and have brought e: and comfort in place of old-time hardships and suffering. knows that all this tends to weaken humanity.

The “easy life” destroys civiliZation the same as individuals. we : COSTLY A partially completed supér-dreadnaught of the Amer- ican navy recently was condemned to destruction under the treaty limiting naval armaments. A fine target to keep our gunners in trim, but 20 million dollars had been invested in the condemned ship. In peacetime, that seems like a pain- fully costly target. In war, we'd take it as a matter of course, no objections. When at war, a nation is more or less insane, especially as regards its pocketbook. Sanity slowly returns as we cool + off and begin counting up the cost. : POWER The Atlantic ocean tides would be harnessed to supply 5 electric power, by a new scheme being studied by engineers of the Federal Power Commission. This would involve a = tremendous big construction job in the Bay of Fundy, near Nova Scotia. The day unquestionably is coming when the tides will be harnessed, the sun’s rays imprisoned and put to work, and ‘ electricity “taken out of the Air.” Civilization depends on cheap power, and we have barely scratched the surface of possibilities along this line. HARDEST HIT INDUSTRY The hardest-hit industry is American ship-building. Our * shipyards last year turned out 96 per cent less tonnage than in 1919 and 1920. The national center of interest is the interior of the ‘ country, away from the seaboard. That’s why the head- , liner is “The Covered Wagon” instead of an ocean romance. : } Popular amusements mirror national tendencies and explain many things otherwise baffling. ; Plans are under way to enable farmers to stay in debt 16, months every year instead of only 14 months. 4 An oil authority clams. there is very little oil in Teapot Dome.

McADOO'S AVAILABILITY Since William G. McAdoo sent forth his request for a conference of his political friends in Chicago to determine whether or not. the Dome affair developments Yashington had disqualified him andidate for the Democrati presidential nomination, a new em barrassment has been injected in- to the McAdoo complication This) embar ment is to be found in the speech made by Rep- resentative I, M. Poster of Ohio at the Lincoln day meeting of, the Washington Republican club, and printed in full in the Congression- al Record. This speech had to do with the legal business in which Mr. McAdoo or his firm thas en- gaged sin he quit Mr. Wilson's e Treas- Cabinet as Secretary of t The employment Representative cture to which, according film _industrie to the speaker, Mr. McAdoo, “as Secretary of the Treasury, had awarded Liberty bond advertise- ments in fabulous sums,” with shipbuilding and coal interests with which Charles W. Morse was identified conspicuously, and with against the government. What with extensive extracts from the testimony of Mr. McAdoo in the Morse trial, and other cit tions of Mr. McAdoo's activities at ter his retirement, Mr. Foster sembled a very interesting story which would seem to have a proper bearing on the question Mr. Adoo's political friends are as to decide. Mr. assumes that Mre Mc- Adoo had legal right to pursue the course he did He made no charge that Mr. McAdoo has sten- ped outside the bounds of the law. He did raise a question of leg: propriety and ethics, involving the ment official of high rank might properly render soon after his re- tirement. There won't be any issue in the Chicago conference, we take about the legality of Mr. McAdoa employment following his re-entry into private life. The issue will simply bewhether the informatjoa that has ‘been made public about this employment has rendered. Mr. McAdoo unavailable as a presiden- tial candidate nd made it unwise and futile to y on” further in behalf of his candidacy As the question thus resolves itself, the matters called to public attention by Representative Foster are perti- nent for the formulating of a de- sion. Tf it shouldbe decided that . McAdoo should keep. his hat in ring, these things are bound to be stressed by his political oppon- en thin and without his own party. The present, therefore, ‘s the time to take careful re of them as campaign potentia Minneapolis Trib ANOTHER PLEDGE OF PEACE American inventors have just floated a loan of $150,000,000 for the Japanes government, thus forging another link to bind the two countri a friendship that will be further guarantee against panege aggression upon the ern coast. Ties of undying friendship were woven when American rellef was so prompt and generous last fall efter the earthquake and now fi- nancial allia is added to the other bonds. Nations don’t usually go to war aj ist their creditors and most of this loan is being tak- en in this coantry, though part of what will ultimately be an issue | 50 millions ts being offered in England. : | Japan wants the money, not for | Military expenditures but for re- construction. It is to be used for |rebuilding the damage cause’ by the disaster of last ‘October. Vast sums of money and years of time will be required for this work and | it is not likely that Japan will have time or opportunity to think of war for a couple of generations. Contrast between , the credit rating of Japan and other nations. which need money is striking. The reason for the comparative- ly high credit position lies in the fact that Japan isp practically un- mortgaged nation. The increase in its public debt in the last ten years has been small and has been main- due to productive expenditures, such as railroads and harbor im- provements. Its per capita debt as of July 1 last year was-only $38.87, ‘as compared with $215.19 for the United States and $798.54 for Greet Britain. The external debt is only about 30 per cent of the total debt, or a per capita debt of $11.80.

And Nancy and Nick, with no time to lose, climbed up a rose bush and into a big pink rose and hid. Suddenly they felt a viol@nt jerk.

As if to change the subject from what’ Ruth had, told me to something entirely foreign, Jack spoke, “When had you planned to go down to mother’s, Les- lie?” “I had expected to go Thursday or Friday of this’ week, but now I think I'll wait a week: You den’t mind—do you? She is perfectly well now, Jack, and it will not make much difference if I do not go right away, will it?”. I made my voice as casual as possible, “No dear, I don’t think it will make any difference at all,” Jack answer- ed in the same tones. From ghe relieved intonation of his voice I knew, little Marquise, that} he had heard the gossip and was glad I was going to stay home Realiz- ing this, I felt quite relieved that now-I only need tell him ag much of . We always shrink from~ saying things that will humiliate those we love, unless we are very angry with them. I hope I shall never be argry enough at Jack to say unforgivable things, for I have a peculiar dizpo- sition, little Marquise, that makes it impossible for me ta forgive a great wrong. “Of course, I fly into a regular fury at times, but that is just a brain storm.
