(Official City, State and County Newspaper) FINE—IF IT LASTS Payne Whitney dies and leaves an estate just under $200,000,000 in value. Thomas Fortune Ryan dies and leaves an estate that will total somewhere between $300,000,000 and $500,000,000. Yet neither of these men was considered among our richest citizens. Whatever our national failings may be, however far we may have fallen short from the ideals of our forefathers, there can be no question that we are an unqualified success at making rich men. Year by year new Titans of finance arise. The list that is headed by the Rockefellers, the Fords, the Mellons, the Fishers and the du Ponts grows longer each year. It hasn’t been such a long time since the mere fact that a man could amass half a billion dollars would have made many Americans very uneasy. We used to feel that such concentration of wealth would tend to extinguish our liberties. We didn’t like to see men get too powerful. That old fear is gone completely. Perhaps we have Tearned that rich men do not abuse their power or, per- haps, we don’t care quite so much about that word, liberty, as we used to. This growth of vast fortunes has had its effect on all of us, The accumulation of money is first in our minds. The magic word, prosperity, is the greatest word in our vocabulary. What if some men are getting so rich that they are rising above and beyond the law; haven’t the rest of us got automobiles and radios? It is only natural that we should feel that way. After all, our fathers and grandfathers didn’t have too easy a time of it in this world. The era in which the or- dinary man takes it for granted that he will always have a warm home and plenty to eat, to say nothing of a few luxuries on the side, doesn’t go back more than a couple of decades. Mr. Hoover's “abolition of poverty” war cry could never even have been taken seriously at any time or place but twentieth century America, So long as the general level of everybody keeps rising we shall keep this mood of satisfied acceptance. But suppose, just once, that our prosperity some day should go to smash. Suppose the ordinary man should sud- denly find that the common comforts of life were not his by divine right but only by sufferance from above. What then? Would the country still be as compla- cent about its super-millionaires? You may answer that one to suit yourself. So long as the ball of prosperity keeps on rolling, increasing in size with every revolution, everything is going to be lovely. But let the ball once stop rolling—well, the country might see a bit of excitement. WHO WILL HOLD THE BAG? The public, which is assumed to be responsible in part for the present speculative wave, may let the experts dispute as to how far the Federal Reserve Board will go in checking brokers’ loans, and as to what ‘influence its warning and actions may have on the prices of securities. But it should not ignore cer- tain considerations in which all reasonably conservative commentators on the market agree. One is that in the craze to make money in Wall Street potential yield of securities has been largely lost sight of. They are purchased at any price, regardless of earnings, in the expectation that they can be sold at still higher figures. It does not require a financial. wizard to comprehend that there must be an end to . such a process, and that in figuring out when the end is to come the public is playing a game in which the most expert often go broke. Cheap money will return again, but many stocks are selling at figures which no money rate likely to prevail would justify. Somebody will be left to hold the bag and, if experience is worth anything, there is not much doubt who will be permitted to enjoy the role. Indications of danger in the present situation may be seen, as some contend, in the arbitgarily high dis- count rates. That the Federal Reserve Board strongly feels the necessity of putting on pressure is shown by the fact that it is encouraging high rates when the United States treasury is engaged in refunding oper- ations, a course that cannot be pleasing to Secretary Mellon. The common-sense course for people who have no business in speculation is to heed the warnings and let the markets alone. Wall Street is paved with broken glass for tender feet. COOLIDGE AFTER MARCH 4 Next March 4 President Coolidge will be out of a ‘Job, and’ the public is doing all the worrying. To date ‘the man who faces unemployment has said nothing about it except that he is looking forward with pleas- ure to the vacation. No ove imagines for a split minute that the Coolidges will leave the White House without carfare home. ‘f there i+ one thing more than anything else that the ‘president has practiced as well as preached, it is good old-fashioned New England thrift. A man so success- _ fal as a preacher of public and personal economy must have some genius for ing pennies for that rainy day which always comes to public officials. But, even. if the White House family were to be dis- possessed without sufficient funds to pay the drayman, ‘the Coolidges would have no cause to worry.

Not all the fliers into the unknown have been reckless enough to disregard safety even though ounces of weight must be considered in preparing for long-dis- tance flights. It is no ordinary set that enables a navigator of the air to relieve the anxiety of whole nations and to get their bearings from s! below. The lack of space and the necessity of saving weight are the least of the difficulties the designer must overcome. Intelligible transmission and reception in flight—made difficult by motor and other noises—are not enough. There are the other problems of power generation in flight and in the emergency of a forced landing. Radio as the ally of commercial aviation is keeping pace with the development of aviation and commercial flying. THE WALL STREET WHIRLPOOL Still the stock market goes gyrating upward. Old records fall almost daily but the swing is unchecked. Wall Street, in all its history, never saw anything like the orgy of buying that it has witnessed in the last week or so. It would take the seventh son of a seventh son to tell just what the upshot will be. Some financial experts are gloomy and predict a fearful “morning after” for the not-distant future. Others seem to be just as confident that the upward movement simply reflects the unusual health and vigor of our industrial life. The man in the street may be pardoned for a failure to know what it is all about. However, one thing is certain: movement or no upward movement, is a place for experts only. Don’t let dreams of sudden wealth lead you to drop your savings into the whirlpool. For every man that makes a fortune in the current bull market there are a score who lose heavily. Wall Street is an excellent place for the amateur to avoid NATURE'S WAY Despite the fact that this is an age of mechanical in- ventions, the age-old forces of nature can still be enlisted to advantage in doing the work of the world. dustry of the U. S. Department of Agriculture have been experimenting on new methods of helping farmers rid their orchards of destructive grubs and insects; and one of the best ways has been found to be the en- listing of an army of insect-eating birds. Careful researches have shown the investigators what birds are an orchard’s best protectors. Now they are studying methods of breeding that will enable a farmer to maintain these birds on his land. Odd, isn’t it? We use machinery for more varieties of work every year; but nature’s methods of keeping the insect population in check still seems to be the most effective, Ba a | Editorial Comment | MR.

ERASING THE CROWSFEET In this age everyone desires to be young and beautiful and the first appearance of wrinkles causes much distress. While all of us desire to live a long life, no one desires to look old. Formerly, when a woman reached the of 45 or 50, she took it for grant that she was old, but now women aré learning to take better care of themselves, and it is not unusual to see grandmothers, who are active, graceful, and pleas- ing to look at. 5 fe is not possible for us to live forever in the springtime of life, but it is possible for us to live so that we will enjoy life and avoid many infirmities and disabilities usually associated with old age. We will know that ill health and worry may make a young pers look old, and that health and happ’ ness will make an old person appear young. It is undoubtedly truc that the unwholesome habits will enable one to enjoy life for many years be- yond the average span, ven the appearance of wrinkles on the skin can largely be prevented by the cul- ‘ion of proper habits of life and cate of the skin. Wrinkles grow because of regular creases formed by the skin folding in a certain way and thereby shut- ting off the local blood supply. With the advancing years the blood does not seem to be as nourishing to the skin as in youth, nor does it remove the toxins formed by the tissues as rapidly as formerly. atients who have undergone re- ducing diets frequently complain that the skin hangs loose after the fat has disappered from their double or triple chins. This is because the skin, which was stretched to cover the fatty deposits, can not shrink or reduce as rapidly as the fatty tis- sues and consequently hangs in folds when its padding is no longer pres- ent. The principal causes of wrinkles seem to be first, toxic deposits under the skin which actually poison the skin structures; secondly, a lack of nourishing elements in the blood; thirdly, a defective circulation. By noting these reasons we can easily devise a treatment which will bene- fit practically every skin in which the wrinkles have not existed for too long a time. At the very start it is necessary to first cleanse the blood of all accum- ulated impurities which may be clogging the circulation or poisoning the tissues.

It was laying face upward. Will you tell me what you wanted with him at seven o'clock?” “There's no reason why I shouldn't,” Jerry reminded him, “except that I don't like the way you ask me to.” “Well, you needn't bother,” Ales- ter retorted. “You wanted to hear from him after I telephoned you.” “That's right.” Jerry agreed. “Evelyn had asked me to bring someone else if you couldn't come. There's nothing for you to get mad jabout over that, is there?’ “I won't have Dan Harvey tak- ing you out.” Alester declared warmly. “You could have come up here alone. And one thing is cer- \itan, I’m going to take you home.” eee ERRY lost her temper, then. “No, you're not,” she said. “I didn’t let him take me home from Leon- tine’s party, and anyway I'd like to know how you could come here when you told me your mother wanted you at home tonight,” she added accusingly. It rather surprised her that Ales- ter appeared embarrassed by her question. “She . er, changed her plans,” he said evasively. “Well, you needn't wait for me,” Jerry returned emphatically. “I’m going home with Dan.” “If you do,” Alester said threat- eningly, “I'll see that you don’t go to Atlantic City with Weinertz’s show.” Jerry stared at him in astonish- ment. She hadn’t dreamed that cared so much about anything might do. But to threaten her. . . “You can’t have me fired,” she defied him. “Mr. Hule wouldn't stand for it. I’ve made good with him and that's all he asks. Mr. Weinertz doesn’t dare go over his head.” Alester smiled at her. “Pretty clever, Jerry,” he said admiringly. Her unexpected op- position to him had cooled his temper a trifle. It also served to remind him that Jerry was a stub- born little creature who couldn't be driven. i Just then Dan appeared down the hall, at the kitchen door. He saw Jerry and Alester and came toward them. “Hello,” he said, “I thought you were at... ” there he paused + + + “home,” he added, and the anxious expression on Alester's face gave way to one of relief. “I've come to take Miss Ray to Miss Starr for me,” he added, after turning on his heels, and was Jerry watched him go with « sinking heart.

If you like he will apologize to you, but I think we'd better dis- pense with that, Jerry, and be get- ting along. Someone told me that you're driving, with Alester to At- lantic City tomorrow and I suppose you will want to make an early start.” “Why,” Jerry sald, “you heard what he said. He isn’t xving to take me.” “Yes, I heard it,” Dan replied, “but I know that Alester often says things in a temper that he does not mean. I’d advise you to prepare for the trip just the same.” “V'll not,” Jerry delighted him by saying. “No one can dictate to |me.” “I'm glad to hear you say that,” Dan assured her, “because I don't want Alester to take you to Leon- tine Lebaudy’s again, and he is the type to try to dictate his own wishes in the matter.” Jerry wondered why he brought up Leontine’s name. But Dan could not say any more. He hoped she would guess that Alester’s mother had not figured in his plans for the eyening as he had said and that it was Leontine who had enticed him into an engagement. Dan was puzzled to know why Alester had not kept his appoint- ment with Leontine and why he had come to Miss Starr's home, un- til he remembered that he had left Jerry’s note on his dresser. Alester often came into his room at Carmoor. Until they met Jerry they had been on fairly good terms. Dan knew too much of Alester’s Dast to feel any warm friendship for him, but he was too sensible to set himself up as monitor of a man with whom his business brought him in contact. ee HE realization that Alester was jealous of Jerry added nothing to Dan's happiness. He hadn't be- Heved that Alester would spend much time with a nice girl of the “lower middle class,” but now he wondered if he might not have misjudged him in another way.

Dan's reference to the Lebaudy Place had reminded her that Ales- ter, too, had imputed ‘a taste for wild life to the modern-girl, even to one who was not of the stage. He was continually trying to break down her opposition to night clubs and roadhouses. He seemed to think it was a pose. “He’s been playing around with the live ones so long he thinks everybody else ought to be buried,” Dan said crisply. “But let’s not stand here talking, if you're ready to leave.” ‘ Jerry went into Evelyn’s room and got her hat and wrap. “I’ve already said good night,” she told Dan when she rejoined him. He found his hat in the hall and they left quietly. Someone had drawn the curtains in the door connecting the foyer and the living room. No one saw them depart. Jerry breathed a sigh of relief when they were outside and had found a taxi. She had lived a year in New York and nothing of any particular in- terest had happened to her until Alester's silver plane had dropped out of a clear sky upon her camp. Since that event life had become hectic. How much simpler it would have been for her {f only one flyer had come down with the ship! But which one? Jerry did not want to answer that question. eee ' DAX had little to say to her as they drove down Broadway to Columbus Circle. He knew that they stood at a crossroads and that Jerry was headed one way and ho another. He could feel the warmth of her slender, dance-hardened body as she leaned wearily against him in the cab. He made no effort to put an arm around her though his re fraining from doing so was taxing his self control to the utmost. He thought, with longing, of the days of the cave man. Jerry would belong to him if only physical strength were needed to He could crush her in one arm, and fight a dozen Alesters for her with the other. ; Dan had always been rather proud of his strength . . . tonight he would have traded it for a gypsy love charm. Jerry's eyelids drooped. She leaned a little more heavily on Dan without being conscious that she did s0., The blessed safety she felt with him was s0 very blessed, so natural, thet she was not even aware of it. Dan was asking himself where and when he would see her again. He knew that before her show re- turned for its New York premiere he would have completed the job for which Alester had hired him. Perhaps he would go west and . Join the air mail service or take up stunt flying with country town carnivals.

After the fasting regime, which should last from five to ten days, a well balanced diet, rich in all of the nourishing cle- ments required by the body, should be employed.

F. asks: “What is the cause of the inside of the ear becoming so itchy and dry and scaly, with a hardening of the wax? There is no discomfort otherwise.” Answer: You may have eczema in your ear. If this is not the case you can doubtless get over your trouble by putting some olive oil in your ears each night for a week, wiping it out each morning with a clean cloth. This will soften the wax and help to restore a normal healthy condition of the ear mem- branes, White Patches on Skin Question: Mrs. M. R. L. writes: “I have a light colored patch that has recently come on my eyelid, also a slight one under my eye. Is this serious? What is the cause, and could you advise me what to do?” Answer: Your trouble may be vitiligo which is a disease due to the destruction of the coloring pigment in the skin. This comes from a systematic acidosis and further trouble can be prevented through dietitic measures which would cor- rect the lack of the normal alkalin- ity of the blood. My article called “A Cleansing Diet” would be good for you, and I will be glad to for- ward it upon receipt of a large self- addressed stamped envelope. Should One Fast if Thin? Question: Alice J. asks: “Is all right for a thin person to fast? Answer: I always advise thin patients to fast for a few days before starting on any diet for gaining weight. It is true their weight is reduced during the fast, but after the system is cleansed by this treat- ment they will then gain back all the weight they have lost and as much more as their body requires for perfect health. it ” | [ Our Yesterdays | FORTY YEARS AGO Mrs. J.
