Edison totters on the brink of the grave before the final curtain drops upon his useful life, America could do worse than ponder his example and apply his advice to its current problems, If a man has been “fired” from his job, it might interest him to know that Edison was “fired” upon sev- eral occasions. If his job is a hard one, it should lend new determina- tion to realize that Edison's ability to hang on and keep trying did as much to win success for him as his great brain and his keen perceptions. If he feels like losing courage and giving everything up as hopeless, he might be cheered by Edison’s words in one of his last public utterances, @ message to the electrical manufac- turers of America early this year. ‘The eletrical wizard snid:. “Be courageous. I have lived a long time. I have seen history repeat itself again and again. I have seen many depressions in business. Always Amer- ica has emerged from them stronger and more prosperous. Be as brave as your fathers were before you. Have faith. Go forward.” © It is a message which America| needs just now and one worth think- ing about. The Wealthiest Cat When the world’s wealthicet ca‘ died recently it won mention in many| newspapers throughout the country] because it was unusual for a cat to leave an estate of approximately $35,- 000. Yet that is what Mitzi, 18 years old, left for a wondering world to worry about. As might be expected, the cat was| provided for by its former owner, Dr. Maud Cain Ide, who died in October, 1930, and made provision in her will for the care of the cat until the ani- mal should die. The remainder of! her $265,000 estate went to charity] and so will Mitzi’s share, now that| the cat is definitely dead, regardless of ‘how many lives a cat is supposed to have. The whole business throws into prominence two traits of human na- ture which often are at odds. One is the love of children, the other is the love for animals. All too often, dogs or cats are the only ornaments for laps which cer- tainly are ample enough for chil- dren. In many cases the owners of those laps would be far happier for a child in preference to cat, and yet the cat is pampered and coddled while many children, loved by some- one, go hungry for lack of what the cat costs. On the other hand, a heart big enough to love fellow human beings has little trouble in finding room for dumb animals, also. In leaving her estate to charity, but at the same time making provision for her cat during its lifetime, the California woman proved her loyalty, not only to her own kind but to the animal which probably shared the loneliness of her declining years and made them just a little less lonely. After all, a dog or a cat can be compan- ionable. And look at the reward of the cat. Judging from the way humans scramble after distinction, it might mean something in the cat hereafter to have been known in this mundane sphere as the “richest cat in the world.” The Little Fellow Gets a Break| The general business dislocation characteristic of these times is lead- ing to many novel and interesting developments in trade and industry. Barter is coming back to @ consid- erable extent. The United States government, as represented by the farm board, has recently traded 25 million bushels of wheat with the government of Brazil| Hon. for @ corresponding amount of cof- fee, and a number of other interna- “ional trades are reported from Eur- ope.

Without prejudice to the larger concerns, it might be remarked that this fact is an encouraging one for the future of the United States. The relatively small businesses, taken to- gether, are still more important to the nation than the large ones.

Reassurance (New York World-Telegram) The federal government has step- ped in to prevent a national bank- ing crisis. That is the significance of last night's white house conference and President Hoover's announce- ment of a program of action. In- stead of letting matters drift further, the administration has faced the emergency and moved to meet it. That fact alone is one of the most reassuring that has come out of the depression. It should revive hope in the discouraged business community. Mr. Hoover has assumed leader- ship. The people will not follow him blindly. But they will follow any reasonable line of march. The president's program is not, complete—and by the nature of the case it cannot be at the moment. But it does attack: the problem at: the point of immediate emergency. That pointis the jam of frozen as- sets which endangers many banks and blocks the free flow of normal credit for legitimate business. To break that jam the president proposes the cooperation of unem- barrassed banks in making advances: on securities of closed banks to free! part of the Jatter’s deposits. This process is going forward and will re-! lieve much distress this winter. Moreover he has arranged for pri- “\vate mobilization of banking re- sources to form a $500,000,000 insti- tution to rediscount frozen assets of banks which might otherwise be forced to the wall. Certainly that is, an important move in the right di-} tion. rection. Tt that $500,000,000 fund is inade-! quate for the purpose, and if private sources fail to produce a sufficient amount, he apparently intends to bring federal funds to the rescue. Though he is not specific, that seems to be the purpose of his state- ment that-he may ask congress to create a federal finance corporation somewhat similar in character to the {War Finance Corp. Here again Mr. Hoover is on a sound course. His proposal for broadening the eligibility provisions of the Federal Reserve act is doubtless necessary to make the assets of banks more li- quid. Obviously, however, this is a two-edged weapon. Unless it is used with discretion it can weaken more. than strengthen the fundamental fl- nancial structure of the country. The test will be in the detailed pro- visions of the law. Mr. Hoover's in- timation that the congressional bank- ing committees will be allowed suf- ficient time to consider this matter is fair enough. Since banks in agricultural com- Tounities suffered first and perhaps have suffered most, his proposal that congress increase the capitalization of federal land banks is timely and reasonable. For some reason’ the president did not make his expected declaration for an extension of the one-year war- debt and reparation holiday to three years. There is little doubt, however, that he will be forced by events tu that position—if not to outright can- cellation. Unfortunately, the value of such a moratorium extension or cancella- tion will not be great if it is post- poned too long. Frankly, highly praiseworthy as we regard it, we do not believe that the Hoover program as announced last night is complete in itself. We be- lieve the remedy must go beyond an improvement in the technical bank- ing situation, important as that is. ‘We believe that the government, “|among other things, must initiate a national planning system—such as Proposed from different angles by Mr. Swope, of General Electric, and by Senator La Follette—to facilitate cooperation of industries as the pres- ident is now insisting on the coopera- tion of banks. And we believe that the govern- ment itself must stimuldte buyin Mc works than are now under way. All of that involves a recognition | by the administration that it is the duty of the government to take ove; leadership in this peace emergerry as it assumed power and directicn during the war emergency.

Like the big-top shows, the new hostelry has its freaks and its spec- tacular stellar attractions; it has bi- zarre innovations and acres of lux- ury.

MORRIS FISHBEIN eastern border of the United States has been undergoing one of the most severe attacks of infantile Paralysis that it has suffered for many years. With the coming of cold weather, the condition will clear up. That has been the history of epi- demics of infantile paralysis almost since the beginning of our knowledge of this disease. the first week in September t! wete stlil more trasted with normal conditions of around 19, and there were still more than 600 cases in New York as con- trasted with normal conditions of around 20. Infantile paralysis usually begins to appear in June, increases during July and August, diminishes in Oc- tober and disappears by November. About a year ago California and the middle west suffered severely, but the attack in the eastern states is more severe than it was in the por- tions mentioned. In New York city during the pres- ent epidemic, more than 70 per cent’ of the cases have occurred in chil- dren under 5 years of age. Few cases have occurred in children over 15 years of age, which is an indication of the way, in which the general pub= lic has been immunized against this disease from some sort of exposure. ‘When the blood of most human be- ings is examined, it is found that, surprising to learn that 1,200 lobsters |— are gobbled up in a single half hour; that 1,500 waiters are standing about waiting; and that somebody's private railroad train is parking down where the basement ought to be.

BOB FARRELL, @iscovers that Mr. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORE CHAPTER XLV Nast cries of the newsboys rose loud and shrill above noon-day sraffic. “Wuxtra! Wuxtra! Alla- bouta. Vice Charges! Wuztra! Pretty Victim Tells of Framing—!” They barked the raucous, unin- telligible words and waved news papers with headlines in three-inch type. Screaming black banner lines that repeated the words the boys were shouting. “Pretty Victim De- clares Charges Fi d,” “Beauty Tells Own Story,” “Girl Asserts Conviction Was Frameup!” the second day after ry had “broken” in the news. fayette Flynn, with the dramatic instinct which had played so large a part in his political suc- cess, had staged events carefully. He had arranged the interviews. Ho had seen to it that Norma said just enough and not too much that first day. Flynn had come out with a denunciation of the “system” that permitted such evils. Two newspapers treated the story cautiously the first day. Two others spread it across their front pages. On the following day Norma Trav- ers had become a headline heroine. {t was learned that she was Mark Trav mer wife, Photographs filed away since the honeymoon trip to Blue Springs reappeared. Be- sides the running story of the in- terview there were “pen pictures” of Norma written by star feature writers. Lafayette Flynn issued a Second and stronger attack on the “system.” Members of the opposing Political organization came back with vitriolic counter attacks, Norma did not go to the office.

Two of them got inside and béfore she knew it Norma found herself facing a battery of questions. She answered some of thom, felt panic-stricken a moment later and fied. At the window of her apartment she discovered a man across the street was making her photograph, Norma pulled down the shades and locked the door. She was overwhelmed with re- gret. What possible good could come of all this notoriety? There were evening newspapers on the floor before the davenport. Norma caught a glimpse of her own name in the headlines, turned away and buried her face in a pillow. Weeping relieved the hysteria which had enveloped her. She tried to sew, thinking that if her hands were busy she would feel better. It was a blue gingham romper suit she had been making for Mark that she took from the sewing basket. Sight of the garment brought back all her misery. “Oh, Mark!” Norma cried. “Where are you? Darling, I want you so! I want you!” ee BY evening when Chris Saunders arrived Norma was in such a state that the elder girl was wor- ried. “Yon can’t stay here alone like this,” she announced. “It’s enough to give anyone the willies.” “But I have to! I won't go out and talk t- those reporters! I won't go out and have them taking pic- tures of me. I wouldn’t mind, Chris, if it was going to do any good but how can it? How can it get Mark back to me? I’m afraid it’s going to make it harder!” “Bob doesn’t think so. There's an editorial in the Press tonight. Did you see it?” “No.” Chris rummaged through the Dewspaper, folding the pages back. “Here it is. At the top of the col- umn. The heading is ‘Sensational Charges’ and below it says, ‘The charge of Miss Norma Travers that she was convicted of a vice charge on evidence deliber- ately manufactured by police inves- tigators is one of the most serious that has faced the city administra- tion.

I—I want Mark!” “Of corse you do, darling. You're going to get him back.” “Has Bob heard any more? Where did you see him?” “He dropped in at the office a Nttte before closing time.

I can’t stand it much longer!” Ri es The older girl was a0 worried that a little later she slipped down- stairs and made a telephone call. Next morning she announced she was not going to the office, “It’s all right,” she assured Norma. “They aren’t expecting me. Besides if I stay away a few days they'll appreciate me more when I'm there. You and I are going out of town for the week-end.” “Chris—!” “Now don’t say anything! You might just as well spare yourself the breath, We're going to take a run down to Rosebriar over the week-end. Honestly I need the rest, Norma, and I won't go without you.”. Norma said steadily. “You can’t fool me. You're doing this because of me—” “Well, what if 1 am? I’m doing it for myself too, Don’t you want to get away for a couple of days of peace and quiet? Don’t you want to get away from those reporters? You've given your story and there’s nothing more for you to tell them, Anyhow I called Mr. Flynn last night and he said we should go.” “But it will be expensive.” “I’ve got the money. Now snap into it, Norma! Let’s see if we can catch the 9:30 train—” eee [THE week-end at Rosebriar proved @ blessed interlude. It was a small place, popular as a resort be- cause it was on a lake and because there were two excellent hotels. Out of season the rates were not high. There were few guests at the Rose- briar Inn where the two girls stopped. Norma and Chris slept late, took long walks and spent two lazy afternoons doing nothing but gazing out at the dazzling blue of the water. They did not even read the Sunday newspapers. They took the last train back to Marlboro and arrived at the apart- ment a little after eight p. m. Fas- tened in the door were several memorandums to call Bob Farrell. Norma telephoned and Bob's voice came back to her. “I'll be right over. Lots of things to tell you.” He vas there within half an hour. Bob congratulated Norma on her rested and improved appearance and then launched the big news. “There's been plenty of excite- ment the last few days,” Farrell said. “Did you see the papers? No? Well, then, there's a lot for you to hear, Things have been happening! There's going to be an investigation —that’s the main thing. Yes, the governor got busy and put on the pressure. Wellington’s been named to take charge. Oh, he’s square! Wonderful lawyer. There's been about a dozen more cases in the newspapers too. A lot of girls now at Mount Florence are demanding new hearings—lawyers on the job, of course. The big thing though happened today. Flynn got ‘Whitey’ k, the stool pigeon, to spill erything! He's accused a dozen members of the vice squad of fram- ing girls apd told how he had part in it himself.. Black is the fellow whose picture you saw in Flynn’s LAURA LOU “MAD MAR MARRIAGE" marvelous! He's known about Black for months, Been collecting material, getting it together and just holding back until the psycho logical time to break it. Black hasn’t told half of all he knows yet—!" 7 “But, Bob,” Norma put in. | “What's it all going to lead to? How is it going to help me to get Mark back?” eee ‘ Y, don’t you see? No court in the world would have the nerve to hold those old charges against you in the face of all this uproar! Landers—he's the juven- ile court judge and he'll hold the hearing—wouldn’t dare do it. Un- less I'm mistaken the public wel- fare department is going to scram- ble to keep its own skirts clean. They'll never undertake to get Mark away from you permanently now. Never! Of course you'll have | to testify when the investigation opens.” “Testify? You mean at a trial? You mean I'll have to tell every- body what happened? Oh, but I couldn’t—!” “You said you'd do ft, Norma. Don’t you remember that I warned you? I told you it wasn’t going to be easy but you said you'd go through with it.” “But I didn’t know it would be like that! I thought it was just talking to Mr, Flynn. I didn’t know you meant everybody!” “Mr, Flynn will be there all right. And it won't be any harder talking before Judge Wellington than it was to Flynn, Why, Norma, you can’t back down now! You've got to go through with it!” Chris put her arm around the other girl. “We're all going to stand by you, honey. But Bob's right. You couldn’t refuse to go on now.” Norma turned away. When she faced about a moment later she said unsteadily, “I’l—I'll try to do it!” Public indignation, manifested by protests from civic groups and women’s clubs, denunciations from pulpits and platforms, swelled into _ a rising tide during the next seven days, The onrush broke about the heads of certain city officials. It crashed against the Marlboro police department. The agitation was responsible for unprecedented promptness in launching the official investigation. Lafe Flynn was not alt among city politicians to see the possibili- ties of such a scandal. Apparently Flynn’s opposition—assured that the affair could not be hushed— wanted it cleared away and forgot- ten as soon as possible before the fall election. Norma went back to her desk in Stuart’s office on Monday. She evolved the formula of all questioners with “I ha ing to say.” ‘It was a hard and try- ing week but she managed to live through it, “When this 1s over,” Norma told herself repeatedly, “they'll have to let me have Mark!” That was the litany of all her prayers. ee have to let me have Mark!’ Thursday evening she and Chris arrived at the apartment at the same time. Chris was ahead and opened the door. She picked up an 6 office. Remember, Norma? Some of these fee-splitting lawyers are going to get it next. Say, but the way Flynn lned this thing up is envelope from the table in the hall. “A letter!” Chris said. “It's for you, Norma.” ‘There was, for in-|1 ‘| kept the room for a night and then an " | Hayden. than 400 cases in Connecticut as con-/ tissue that is attacked. they have in the blood some sub- stance which is opposed to infantile paralysis. Thus the idea has arisen ‘among scientific observers that the substance which causes this disease spreads to many people causing lit- tle or no disturbance, but that in a small percentage it gets into the spinal cord and attacks the tissues of the spinal cord, affecting the special nerves that control muscular action. For this reason the disease is called anterior which means the front; pol- jomyelitis, which refers to the nerve It hag been quite well established that the infection is spread from one person to another by the excre- tions and secretions of the humar body. The living material which causes this disease may survive out- side the body for a considerable @mount of time. All that we can do to prevent the spread of this disease is to keep children fairly well iso- lated during the period when it is Prevalent. It has been shown that children in institutions who are care- fully prevented from coming into contact with outside children or peo- ple during an epidemic are not likely to develop the disease. During the summer months if chil- dren are kept at summer camps con- stantly and no visitors allowed, they are not likely to be attacked by in- fantile paralysis.
