So runs tradition. American lawyers, at their convention over there this summer, took up a collection and paid the old account, which amounted to less than $4. That, however, bought enough beer to float a battleship back yonder, which may be why they are referred to as “the good old days.” The pious need not be shocked because George Washing- ton’s great-great-grandfather drank beer. Wine and beer were light drinks for those days of brandy, rum, whisky and gin. Neatly. every one drank as a substitute for the polluted water which was the rule long ago. Water was unsafe to drink. Science has made it safe. Many a man with a faded red nose and high blood pressure will comment that progress has its price. SONG : Only one song in a thousand makes a hit and brings big profits to the publishers and writers, says E. C. Mills, He’s thairman of the American Society of Composers, , Authors and Publishers. . Many will be surprised that so few songs go over big. And yet the situation is no different than in other lines of work. For every one who succeeds, a thousand or more fail outright or at best never reach more than very mild success- Success is the exception, failure the rule. More profit- able and try to figure why they failed, than to analyze the careers of the rich and famous. What not to do is quite as important at what to do. MOSTLY BLUFF An old-time traffic cop in New York says that in a big storm pedestrians are fewer by three-fifths and autos by a tenth. This proves, the cop reasons, that people are not actually as busy as they think. In a storm they find time to stay under cover. “On the first clear day these ‘busy’ people will be out again, risking life and limb to gain a few seconds by rushing in and out of traffic.” Hurry is about 50 per cent nervousness and 25 per cent bluff. BEHIND There’s only one auto for every 36,800 people in China. The cause is cheap human labor—so cheap that machinery cannot compete with is at yet. At that, though, China, is only about 20 years behind America in the matter of autos. She is the greatest undc- veloped trade market in the world. You'll probably live to see the time when more American goods will be sold in China than all Europe combined. An advantage is that the Chinese pay for what they get. PASSENGERS At the American Legion convention in Massachusetts 500 delegates came by auto, only 41 by train. This doesn’t surprise railroad men. They say the auto has cut tre- mendously into the railroad passenger business. So will the airplane, later. Here’s a prediction: Popularization of flying is close at hand. The air plane will come into common use almost as quickly as the radio. FAGS Americans are smoking 65 cigarets for every 58 used a year ago. One result will show up_years hence—increased lung trouble, bronchitis and tuberculosis, also throat ail- ments. The cigaret is too easy to inhale. A safe smoke is the cigar—to inhale which requires leather lungs. For this reason, it’s a pity women—turning to tobacco— don’t smoke cigars instead of fags. A confirmed smoker’s lungs, dissected, are found saturated with tiny bits of carbon from inhaled smoke. This is health advice, not preaching. SLANDER ‘A few Kentuckians are being arrested under the new state law against slander and malicious gossip. If this were a national law and strictly enforced, nearly all of us would be in jail within 24 hours. Of the many forms of cowardice, the foremost is saying behind a person’s back what one wouldn’t dare say to his face. Be a decent fellow, is a good slogan. Spike slander- ous rumor. If it reaches you, let it go no farther. GERMANS For the first month since 1921, Germany admits that she had a foreign trade surplus in July. Exports exceeded im- : | ports by four and a half million dollars. a ‘This isn’t a big sum, as such things go. But it is import- ant‘ because it may be the turn of the tide.

Editorial Review Comments reproduced in_ this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the prope of the day. HONESTLY, NOW, WHAT DID (Duluth Herald) Senator Wheeler of Montana, the vice presidential candidate on the LaFollette ticket, spoke in Duluth Thursday eveningy miration and approval, some with neither. ‘May The Herald have a word with those who heard Mr. Wheeler with admiration or approval? And ask them to ask themselves a few questions? Senator Wheeler was very free with criticisms, but that is al- ways e€ There never yet was an administration of any kind that ordinary disagreement about po tics, there never yet was an ad- ministration that did not make istakes, There never will he uch oun administration. If by chance the LaFollette - Wheel: ticket should win and take over the administration of the govern- ment for four years ,at the end of that time it would be at least as easy for an energetic speaker to assail it it was for Mr. Wheeler Thursday night. Senator Wheeler also offered his audience a reeking dish of sean- dal, some of it true, some of it partly true, and some of it utterly false. But not a trace of any of it ue or false, can be made to stick to Calvin Coolidge. The Wheeler speech has time, now, to grow cold in the minds of those who heard it. The heat of his presence and his elo- quence has died out. It is po: ble, now, to analyze his speech cool candor. The Herald would ask those who heard Senator Wheeler, whose epeech is entirely typical of the LaFollette campaign, to do just. that; to analyze what he said with cool and reasoning judgment, and to ask themselves these questions: What single constructive pro- posal for the welfare of America and {ts people did Senator Wheeler make in that speech? Wheat single remedy for any ex- isting evil did he offer? What measure, of any kind whatever, for the relief of those who need relief, did he outline? Now these are fair questions. Every thinking citizen, no matter how. discontented he may be with had a and seek an answer to them. Senator Wheeler says he is the “Farmer-Labor” candidate. What, judging from his Duluti speech — which is precisely speech elsewhere —does he pro- pose to do for the farmer?g Abuse and vituperation will fill no granaries, pay off no farm loans, multiply no flocks. Did he offer the farmer more than that? What, judging from this speech, does he offer to do for labor? Ir- responsible criticis which any half-wit can offer, will put noth- ing in the pay-envelope, will change no working condition for the better, will buy no shoes for the baby. Farmers and workers have a right to know just what steps for their help are proposed by those who call themselves “farmer- labor” candidates. To vote as Mr. Wheeler asked them to vote, they must take the visk that the presidential election machinery will be wrecked, the election will be thrown into the chaos of congress, and during long months while the issue is in doubt, business and industry will be uo- settled and no man’s business, no man’s profits, no man’s job and no will be secure. 8 Mr. Wheeler asks them to vote, they must take the risk that if by chance his ticket should succeed and his party should enter upon its program of depriving the citizen of the pro- tection against congressional un- wisdom which the Constitution throws about him and of letting in the thin edges of the wedge of so- cialism through governmental ownership of railroads and other industries, the shock to business and industry will harm every man, woman and child in the country. These are real. risks. ‘Senator Wheeler, in behalf of Senator LaFollette, asked his au- dience to take these risks. What hope did he offer, through any constructive proposal, for re- lief that might possibly compen- gate the citizens for taking these risks? What did farmers and laborers learn from Mr. Wheeler’s speech about what the LaFollette ticket would do for them if they give it power? If anybody who heard this speech will honestly ask himself this’ question, as he must if he serves the best interests of him- self and his family, he will find but one answer in -his heart: Senator Wheeler offered utterly nothing of a constructive charac- ter, offered no hope. of better things, offered nothing whatever except criticism, innuendo, slander and mudslinging worthy only of a jshrew shrilling her billingsgate ‘over a backyard fenes | To Can Horses For | | Foreign Market 4,000 to 8,000 horses to be shipped from this region to Chicago, has Veen received here; the horses are wanted for canning und shipping to Europe.

Didn't you hear him? He turned it from sleepy sand into wide-awake sand. What the babies will do now I don't know.” Suddenly Nancy began to laugh. hy, Mister Sand Man,” she said. ‘We forgot to tell you that when Nick and I came back after putting the babies to sleep for their after- noon naps, we peeped inside the Sour Old Woman’s heuse and saw Eena Meena there. We knew he would do some mischief if he saw the sleepy sand so we emptied it out into an old stump and put com- mon sand in its place.” “What!” cried the Sand Man hap- pily. “Do you mean to say that I have only common sand in my sack?” “Yes,” declared Nick. “The sleepy sand is as safe as ever.” “That's just fine,” said the Sand Man. “You Twins have saved everything, Where is the real magic sand. I must get it right away.” The Twins led the way from the water-fall toward a large stump that stood nearby. “Here it is,’ said Nancy, running ahead. “We dumped it all into the hollow plaee in the middle and—” But suddenly she stopped talking and she looked very queer. “What's wrong? What’s the mat- ter?” called the Sand Man. “The magic sand’s gone,” said poor Nancy. “We left it right here in this stump and now it’s all gone. Somebody has stolen it again.” “Here's a note,” said Nick, walk- ing around the stump to see. if he could find any trace of the robbers. “Read it,” said the Sand Man dismally. So Nick opened the note and read: “Dear Folks: “I was watching all the time and I saw you dump the magic sleepy sand into the stump. “I have taken it away to Squee- jick land, where it will be safe. “Hastily yours, “Tweekanose.” “My land of Goshen!” cried the poor Sand Man. “What shall we do now? The sun is getting low and ‘there is nobody to put the babies to sleep!” “We'll have to go to Squeejick Lund,” said Nick. “But we can’t,” said the |Man. “Tweekanose says—” | “dt doesn’t matter what he says,”| |dechared Nick bravely. “We can go} janywhere on the earth or 4n Fairy- | ‘land in our magic shoes.

RUTH Day Letter From Mary Alden Pres- cott to John Alden Prescott. I have just been forcibly ‘turned out of your apartment by Mrs. Wal- ter Burke and threatened with the law if-I try to step into it before your wife’s return, The manager of the apartment is insulting in the ex- treme. He says the woman I en- gaged to clean your apartment has damaged the ceiling below, and gave me a bill for one hundred dolls which he » must be paid im- mediately. 1 am sending it to you today. Of course you understand I did not do this. It was the stupid- ity of the serubwoman who spilled a couple of pails of water on the floor. The manager served a dispossess notice upon Priscilla and I told him you would return in 24 EVERETT TRUE wi COMES hours and sue him for damages and that you would also leave his house. 1 am now at Plaza Hotel where Mis: Anderson, who had also given me notice that she was leaving me, is in constant attendance.

YOUR MOTHER Wire From Miss Annette Anderson ito Mrs. Leslie Prescott. Expect Mr. Prescott’s mother has sent you a scorching telegram. I did not see it, but heard something about it from the manager of the house. Do not be disturbed. We are nicely domiciled at the hotel, al- though I think it will cost Mr. Pres- cott a pretty penny, for she insisted upon having a suite of rooms—a sitting room, bedroom and bath— for Miss Bradford. As far as the old lady is concerned, I will take care of her if I have to put her in a straitjacket. I have had the doctor forbid the old maid from go- ing to M Prescott’s room.

By Albert Apple The old saying, “hard work never killed any one,” is dis- of Johns Hopkins University. It stands to reason. A machine is capable af just so much cut. A machine lasts longer, than if it runs day after day. And the body is a machine. Up to the age of 40, it appears very difficult to kill a man by physical hard work, occupational and industrial hazards being excluded from consideration, Dr. Pearl reports. But after 40, hard work begins to shorten life. : That’s why a man should make hay while the sun of is hard effort should come be- ind. At 40, it is not time to take a back seat. But it is time to play the game less strenuously, and to rest more. Whether or not a man is able to do so, depends to considerable extent on whether he wasted his twenties and frittered away his Age BY Henry Ford isn’t the only wise old owl who believes that most people cannot expect to accomplish much until they Possibly this is true of the actual accom- that flower into accomplish- manhood. The seed planted in the twenties and thirties sprouts in the forties and bears its best fruit in the fifties and later. Hard work does not wear out a man as quickly when he ds. This applies to men who do hard physical work indoors, quite as well as to men who work sitting in a chair or standing behind a counter. The natura) life is outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine. An indoor worker can get considerable of these in his spare moments, and they form the r eal fountain of youth. y-machine is worn out, just as an auto is ready for the scrap heap after it has done so Sept. 20.—More beauti- ful girls are trying to force their way into moving pictures here than are trying to get in the chorus. And when beauty meets beauty ithe battle is on. Three hundred shapely and confi- dent maidens answered a chorus call for a Broadway musical show. One hundred and eight were accept- Jed. More optical ‘daggers were thrown than would be used in a vendette. They faced the peering squad con- fident of acceptance. They came dressed in their best, many of them glittering with diamonds. Then were handed bathing suits and ushered into a dressing room. Clad in scant attire they came humbly to the shrine of ‘beauty, shorn of material finery. Tiny div- ing attire doesn't hide interfering knees or bowed legs. They lined up on a barren stage. Scenery and props were scattered in orderly array. Lights were dim. An as unromantic as a r or a dusty garret. Only faces that appeal, lines that are graceful, curves that are allur- ing ,withstand this acid test. Nat- ure’s, heritage is their only hope. A bathing suit clings and the business eye of a beauty expert is merciless. It was a tense moment for the girls. They were facing Earl Car- outhful producer of The Van- E révue. “Did you hear about the Smith child?” Mrs. Jones asked excitediy of her husband when he feturned from work. “The poor little thing got in- to the medicine closet some way or other and all but poisoned. herself to death.” Many such accidents occur in many places daily and should be a. sermon to parents. If you have poisons in your medi- cine chest hang it up so high that there is no danger of the children getting into it. But, better still, keep your poisons separate from your medicines. Or have the cabinet separated into With a wave of his hand, as a traffic éfficer tosses automobiles about, he rejected many a girl that has been the family’s boast for many years. Uneven teeth, ankles that appear too frail to withstand a gruelling rehearsal period, corns, hands that do not bend with the grace of a wax doll are a few of the causes for rejection. “Gee, I'm lucky,” said a girl from Minneapolis who was accepted. “I came here to get in the movies, but there are more girls trying to be- come screen stars than are try: to get in the chorus.” A girl from St. Louis, who heard the chorus call over the radio was taken, “It isn't because I didn’t get a job I'm crying,” sobbed one girl who was rejected, “it’s being humiliate before a crowd of girls that hur Wealthy. men in Ne wYork have a new type bodyguard.
