It may be accu- mulated by men and may eventually return to male heirs or to the sons or husbands of female heirs, but al- ways there is that period of transi- tion during which the matriarch rules. How true this is can be proved by a study of.available income tax records. These show that women) millionaires are as plentiful as men millionaires. Good Time to Clean Up With winter just around the cor- ner, this is a good time to clean up the yard, and get everything in shape for next spring. Every householder can find plenty of justification if he will look about him, for a little care and attention now may save considerable expense at the end of the winter.

(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives | SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Let George Do It The aims expressed by the Ameri- can Federation of Labor at its recent convention in Vancouver will win the support of every American citizen. They are the same aims for which the founders of the nation fought and for which every subsequent genera- tion has striven as best it could. The means suggested to attain those ends, however, will provoke ar- gument, just as any major economic program always has provoked dis- cord and discussion: The nine points listed in the big labor organization’s program were: " 1—Maintain wages. 2—Shorten work hours. 3—Assure employmént to minimum work forces. 4—Each employer to take on addi- tional workers. 5—Create work building. i 6—Strengthen employment agen- Cies. a ‘I—Keep young persons in school to prevent their taking jobs from men and women. 8—Preference for workers with de- pendents. 9§—Financial relief from public and private funds. Even those friendly to labor, how- ever, will see a fundamental defect in the entire scheme. It is the sim- ple fact that no provision has been made for definitely helping toward the objectives sought. There is no assumption by labor of the burden for bringing the desired reforms about. The skin, if any, comes off the other fellow's back. The program takes no account of the difficulties which are being faced by employers. It gives no answers to the questions which every em- ployer has a right to ask: ‘“How can’ I take on more men when those I have are not always busy; how cai) I assure employment to my workers) when I cannot be sure cf what the) future will bring? How can I shorten’ work hours when to do s0 will boost’ production costs to a point where I) cannot meet competition? ‘The other points are proper sub- jects for political action or social ed- ucation. With most of them few persons will have any quarrel. But labor's chief relationship is to} the men and industries which provide: the jobs. It is by cooperation with these forces that labor can do the most to relieve present conditions and, to aid in the adjustment of the na- tional economy. The fact that the convention ig- nored this vital point is somewhat discouraging. It smacks too much’ of the spirit of “let George do it.” Women Have the Wealth The old adage, “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world,” soon may be superseded by another, just as true, to the effect that the “hand which rocks the cradle pulls the world’s purse strings.” Support for this contention is of- fered by the Atlantic Monthly in an article which asserts that women now own and control more than 40 per cent of the nation’s wealth. They constitute a large proportion of the customers of bond and igvesting houses and are heavy stockholders in big enterprises. Records of the American Telephone and Telegraph company show that 53.9 per cent of its stockholders are women, controll- ing 36.2 per cent of the stock, while 38.5 per cent are men, centrolling 39.1 per cent of the stock. The re- mainder of the stock doubtless is held by corporations, trusts and similar enterprises. The Westinghouse Air Brake com- pany reports a similar situation, hav- ing 8,211 women stockholders to ‘7,687 men stockholders. In this company women hold 1,078,517 shares, while men control 1.322.286 ‘shares. . The reasons for this situation are’ not hard to find. In America, women are the benefi- ciaries of 80 per cent of the life in- surance policies upon which benefits| are paid. They receive 70 per cent of the estates left by men and 64 per through public cleaning up and burning the dead vines and trash which have accumu- lated during the summer, the gar- dener not only improves the appear- ance of his place but takes out an insurance policy for future success. Destructive insects often find har- bor for the winter in rubbish piles, he points out, and to permit these to exist is merely to invite trouble next spring. He also suggests fall plowing as a good way to combat in- sects. It is not in the province of the ag- ricultural expert to suggest that this also is one way of helping to combat the unemployment problem, but it is true, just the same. Spying on the Oyster Scientists, it seems, have no re- spect for anyone or anything. If a subject interests them they concen- trate on it until the problem gives up| in sheer despair and explains itself. Recently, however, they have tackled a question which may keen) them busy for a long time. The boys| with the shell-rimmed glasses want to know what the oyster eats. Now the oyster has been known for thousands of years and nearly everyone knows how to eat an oysier, but no one has yet found out what the mollusk itself feeds upon. Of course the quest has a commer- cial as well as a scientific angle, for the grim truth is that the experts are looking for a way to grow bigger and better oysters. Their aim is to produce oysters as big as pancakes, of which only a half dozen will be required to provide a meal for a family. The oyster, of course, merely pre- pares himself for the slaughter by j growing big under the proposed sys- tem. However, it won't worry the oyster. Think of all the fun ‘he'll have growing big if the scientists find jout what to feed him.

Our Brother’s Keeper (Los Angeles Times) This period through which ,the world is struggling is more than an| economic crisis. It involves more than a study of strategic plans to ambuscade the dollars which fled. Humanity itself is on trial. The civilization which we have evolved is undergoing the supreme test. If there is such a thing as brother- hood among men, now is the time to show it. Drunk with wealth, we have strayed! a long way from the fundamental and eternal truth. We have been living in a house stuck upon golden stilts. And it has crashed. In our agony and suffering we have discovered that Jesus Christ meant what he said. The Golden Aule was. not @ pleasant homily intended for reward-of-merit cards with slik fringe on the edges and diamond dust, shining on the snow scenes. It was a simple statement of the eternal law, the same law that keeps the stars in skies and the world turn- ing on its axis. ‘We speak of breaking the law and commandments. You can break them; but they break you. “Love one another” was more than an admoni- tion to light the path of virtue. It was the statement of an eternal prin- ciple upon which all law, all philoso- phy, all business, all ethics, al civili- zation rests. Like all the doctrines left by the Christ, this was the sub- limity of common sense—the finality of practicality—the only sute foun- dation upon which civilization can rest. During these money-glutted yedrs we have tried each to go our own way alone. Years of greed and money’ lust have ended with this terrible les- son: That wealth evaporates and leaves men stark and with naked hearts. It 4s for us to see that this terrible’ rebuke has not been in vain; for us| to see that we rebuild the fallen structure on the rock of: brotherhood. This winter will be a period that calls for all men to have fortitude, strength and sympathy. It is, for once, clear to the dullest mind that we can only help ourselves by help- ing others. 1 Out of this period of readjustment we can regain our souls. It can be a better world because of this period of hunger and sorrow; a_ stronger America and sounder civilization if it brings to us a realization we are given the privilege of being our brother's keeper. ‘The remedy for. our financial crisis Mes not in laws, federal commissions, in panacea or financial errors. ‘The sound and practical answer was told two thousand years ago in a sermon spoken on a mountain in Palestine. GERMAN SEA WARFARE On Tuesday, Oct. 20, Gefman war- CHAPTER I-A MArY sat still for a moment, try- ing to think what the trouble might be, All that betting on horse- races—it was gambling, of course, and against the law. Eddie had had one or two skirmishes with the po lice before for the unconventional manner in which he drove his roadster. It might be that he might have struck somebody, and be running away. The police might be after him. The very thought left her sick with shame and fright. Or he might need money. She tried to think how much she had. “I'll be there in ten minutes. Tell the doorman I’m coming, and to let me {n.” What, what could she do? She had told him to come ahead, but to come round to the side door; + she would leave word that he was to be admitted. He could go right up to her room, and she would go later and see what was up. That she had done wrong tn per mitting him to come here, to seek sanctuary in the Jupiters’ house, without asking their consent, did not occur to her at the moment. It was only afterward, as she sat thinking it over, that she thought about that. But where else could Eddie go, if he were in trouble? They had no home, the two of them: she felt the shame of that. She got up and went back to the ballroom. She must find Mrs. Ju- piter or her husband right away and tell them what she had done. She did not really believe that either of them would mind. Afterward, there seemed to be Bo reason for what she did during the next few minutes—or for what she failed to do. Even to herself, wild with regret and self-accusa- tion, it seemed as if she might have told somebody—found someone to share with her the awful responsi- bility for what came after. But at the time her reasons seemed ex- cellent. What she did seemed the only thing to do. The floor had cleared during an interval in the dancing and across the room she caught sight of Mrs. Jupiter, magnificent in gold lame and far too many jewels, seated op a divan, watching the dancing with a iis eye. At her side, Mary noticed just in time to check her forward progress, was Dirk's mother, a pale woman in gray chif- fon who seemed to be thinking The Age-Old ‘Itch’! il h, NM yy stroyers and nine merchant ships. No civilian casualties were reported in Dunkirk. Sinking of the ships by the Ger- man.raiders took place in the North sea between the Shetland Islands and the Norwegian coast. England's losses for the week end- ing Oct. 20 included 17 ships of over 1,600 tons. Meantime, the British began an ships bombarded Dunkirk and Ger-|enveloping movement northeast of man raiders sank two British de-| Bagdad and drove the Turkish forces, in the vicinity of Kizil-Robat across the Diala river. On this date President Wilson is- sued a proclamation specifying Sun- day, Oct. 28, as a day of prayer for war success, and asked his “coun- trymen to observe the appointed day, according to their several faiths, in solemn prayer that God's blessing may rest upon the high task which is laid upon us, to the end that the cause for which we give our lives and MARY HARKNESS Mr. Jupiter would be somewhere aboyt—he would be better able to tell her what to do than his wife would. Mr. Jupiter absented bim- self from the social scene as much as possible; she knew she would find him outside somewhere, roam- ing around the grounds, smoking, listening to the music as it filtered out to him, mercifully mellowed by distance. She would go out by way of the terrace, and look all ‘round the house. As she moved cautiously along the wall, avoiding the heels and elbows of the swooping couples as best she could, she had to pause “Rather a nice party—but horribly overdone!” It would have been easy to go at once to Mrs. Jupiter and tell ber her troubles, if it had not been for Mrs. Ruyther. She was, Mary had to admit to herself, a congenital once to rub tenderly an ankle-bone which had been the target for somebody's French heel. As she looked up she saw just ahead of her, in the corner, Dirk and Cor- nelia dancing—it they were danc- ing. They seemed hardly to move ‘snob, and a priggish one With/ at all. Dirk for a son, she would never be able to understand Eddie's pecca- dillos, or condone them. And Mary felt miserably that she had little enough to bring to her union with the impeccable Ruyther family— just herself and a name that had never been brought to shame. If that scant dowry was in danger Mrs. Ruyther must not know. see MES. JUPITER did not look any too happy; she looked tired and uncomfortable. The strain of being nice to Mrs. Ruyther was telling on her naturally jolly dis position. From the grimaces she made from time to time, Mary Judged with amusement that her shoes hurt, into the bargain. No, she would not add her own trouble to those from which that poor old woman was already suf- fering. But what was odd was that Cor- nelia was crying. Mary could see it even though Dirk’s back was toward her, shielding the girl from curious eyes. Once he looked about worrledly and she saw that he looked white and strained. Well! That was a surprise. She hadn’t thought Cornelia cared that much, enough to make a spectacle of herself. What in the world should she do go forward and let them know she had seen? Her first impulse was to rescue Dirk there and then. Let Cornelia go and cry on some- body else; there were dozens of men present who would gladly dry the tears of the heiress to so many millions. Dirk must feel an awful brute. And that wasn’t fair. On second thought, that would merely make Coraelia hate her. But Cornelia hated her anyhow as it was. As she hesitated, Dirk evidently resolved to get Cornelia away be fore she made a complete fool of herself; holding ber arm firmly, he moved with her toward the wide door opening on the terrace. She reached the door just in time to see them*step outside the circle of light from the doorway and dis- appear into the dark grounds. Mary could have stamped her foot with annoyance—if it had not al- ready hurt. She could not follow them out there, even if her errand were looking for Mr. Jupiter. It would be too much like spying. People would see, and what would they think? She knew what Cor- nelia would think, if she bumped into them accidentally—that she was jealous. She Wouldn't give her the satisfaction. No, indeed! They could have the terrace all to themselves. WIFTLY she turned into the flagged corridor which ran along the side of the house to the conservatory, and led into the back hall. She hadn’t too much time. Better make her arrangements first. and tell the Jupiters afterward. She was so sure of their under- standing that it hardly seemed nec- essary anyhow. So she intercepted one of the maids—Bessie, the come- liest, and therefor assigned to par- lor duty—and told her a man would be coming to the side door pres- ently, and to be sure to let him in. Bessie said, “Yes, Mary,” and scur- ried on. She was carrying drinks out to the chauffeurs, who were clustered about a big car in the back driveway, talking. Mary smiled—she knew with cer- tainty now where Mr. Jupiter was. It was one of the favorite occupa- A ees may triumph and our efforts be blessed with high achievement.” New York, Oct. 20.—Mons. Charles G. Shaw, who is a professional noc- turnal prowler for a couple of the smart New York publications, finds Manhattan night life to be “gayer! than that of London, less genuine than Berlin and more amusing than Paris,” Having roamed the globe trying to figure out how various peoples ca- vort after midnight, Shaw has set down some of his Gotham findings in “Night Life,” a guide book which visitors who intend to step out while in town might find convenient. At a time when metropolitan folk are still discussing the status of night resorts in times of depression, it is interesting to note a prefatory warn- ing in which this expert concedes that by the time his tome reaches a read- er’s hands the spots mentioned may have changed names and manage-j ments, may have an entirely differ- ent type of entertainment and may even be off the map. Which is just about how uncertain things are in the after-dark realms these days. * e & Shaw sees the “minimum check supplanting the cover charge.” “I am convinced that the Irish make the best waiters,” he states, thus starting many arguments about French and Italian service. “I think that the hours between one and three a. m. are the most exciting.” And do not be fooled by outside ap- pearances of a night club. “The gay- est exteriors usually harbor the dull- est hangouts,” Shaw reports. “There has never been a cafe bar) equal to the Forty-fourth Street’ Sherry's. And the town holds no equal to Jack’s Oyster House. The years of 1911 to 1915 hit New York at its top stride. The next change of night life will center around the dance.” Thus the observations of one of the most seasoned rounders. x * And, speaking of this, the dance tions of the old automobile manu- facturer, talking with the men who drove cars. Other officials of the Jupiter Motor Company, Incorpor- ated, were only too well aware of it. Whenever they put forward ideas about the Jupiter motor which did not coincide with his sen- timents, he was wont to stop all argument by yelling, “And where did you get your information? I'll tell you where 1 got mine—from the men themselves!” He had been an automobile me chanic once and it was his boast that he was still ono—just that, and nothing more. They might know about stock issues, and the like of that, but he knew carbu- retors. When he was in that mood, there was nothing more to be said. His interest in motors and in the men who drove them was genu- ine enough; their talk was his talk. But his wife, among others, thought he sometimes carried it too far. He judged a man by the way he treat- ed a car, for example, Many & friend's chauffeur, and even some taxi-drivers he had taken a liking to, were now holding good jobs in his plant. On the same basis, he had never really warmed up to Eddie, Mary remembered. Eddie was known as a “wild driver,” and that was enough for Mr. J. If it was that again that had gotten Eddie into trouble— Mary paused, pinching her Jower lip thoughtfully between thumb and finger. She resolved presently that this was a family matter, and why bother anyone with it except her- self? It really seemed the kindest thing to everyone concerned—just to say nothing about it; Later, it might seem very different to other people, but she could not know that then. eee ‘R. JUPITER’ was sitting on the running-board of a Iimousine, surrounded by a group of his “boys.” Some of them looked as if they would like to break away and start a crap game, but were afraid to suggest it. She could hear his voice droning on and on. He was having a good time. A big, foreign-looking Mmousine stopped a second under the portico, then shot around the circular drive and out again, at a high rate of speed. The uniformed drivers all looked up interestedly, as it circled, then went on listening in respectful silence to the old man’s words, “Lorimor. Special body,” one remarked to another quietly. “Junk,” said Mr, Jupiter, prick- ing up his ears. Lorimors were his special antipathy. “Five thou- sand dollars for a pile of junk!” Mary turned and went into the house. Mrs. Jupiter was not in the ballroom any longer; someone said she had complained that her feet hurt and had gone upstairs to change. Mrs, Ruyther had gone home. Mary looked at her wrist-watch, and hurried upstairs. Mrs. Jupi- ter’s sitting room was at the head of ‘the stairs, flanked by her bed- room and her husband’s. Mary's Toom wag at the farther end of the hall. As she paused on the top step to catch her breath before turning back along the corridor, she heard sounds issuing from Mrs. Jupiter's sitting room—an angry, enarling voice, a woman's loud scream, and then two shots in rapid succession. There was the thud of something heavy falling. Then st- lence. Mary stood frozen to the newel- post, too terrified to move. “Eddie,” she cried to the closed door, “Eddie, is that you?” (To Be Continued) Daily Health Service TROUBLES WITH FEET CAN CAUSE SERIOUS AILMENTS Entire Health Likely to Be Affected by Negligence of Feet and Wearing Unfitted Shoes ' By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association All sorts of troubles can happen to @ foot. Among the most common conditions are sprains, strains, frac- tures, dislocations, excessive sweat- ing, corns, callouses, warts, chilblains, ringworm, bunions, hammer toes, painful heels, ingrown toenails, cracked toes, blisters, bruises and disturbances of the circulation. Any one of these conditions may eventu- ate into a serious disturbance affect- ing the body as a whole. One need only recall the death of the son of a former president who, while playing tennis, developed a blister on his heel from rubbing by his tennis shoe. Within a short time the blister became infected and gen-! eral septicemia developed, and death followed. In a recent consideration of the care of the feet, Dr. Philip Lewin provided a number of footnotes which every mother and every industrial worker will do well to consider care- fully. Obtain a shoe that has the shape of your foot. Fit your feet and not the other Person's eye. The most important shoe measure- ment is from the tip of the heel to the middle of the big toe joint. This point should come opposite that point of the shoe where the shank goes over into the sole. It should not be necessary to “break in” shoes. The purpose of modification of shoes is to give one support and to compel him to walk over the proper walking angle. The purpose of exercises is to strengthen the supporting structures, of the arches and to stimulate the circulation. ‘The purpose of massage is to in- crease the circulation of the muscles of your feet, in order that they may grow stronger by the exercise. The purpose of contrast sprays, that is alternating hot and cold, is to furnish a tonic for the nerves, blood vessels, muscles and ligaments. Overeating is usually reflected in the form of painful feet as well as Lr in eae abdomen. rereati causes foot dyspepsia. Obesity throws additional strain orf the feet. Flat feet are not necessarily pain- ful feet. Flat feet plus rheumatic feet are very painful and stiff. A slight degree of pigeon toes may be a very desirable condition. The child walks on the same hard surfaces—hard floors, cement side- walks, and asphalt streets—as adults, and therefore it should have the same protection that the adults do, rigid or semi-rigid shank shoes. A flexible sole is sufficient for those who need only exercise, but for those who need both exercise and support, it is insufficient. It may be used part time to alternate with the rigid shank shoe. Observe your child's foot and leg Posture occasionally during sleep. Be on the lookout for improper sit- ting posture or positions during rest or play. One of the worst sitting po- sitions is that in which the child sits with his legs folded, so that the heels nearly touch the buttocks and the feet are in flat foot position. Flat feet and a. weak back go to- gether all too frequently. Keep your back flat and your feet arched. Remember that no matter how long you live you have to carry your feet and your feet have to carry you. changes of the cavorters is an inter- esting study in social procedure. It was, according to historians, about 1911 when night life began to show signs of revolutionary change. The fox trot had about as much to do with this as any one thing. Dancing has never been quite the same since. All over the Rialto the craze for dancing with dinner was noted. Old Bustanoby’s is credited with being the first dance-with-your- meals resort. Until this time, the good folk and the bad folk had been content to sip their champagne and sit behind screens and palms, listening to the orchestras and chattering with one another. Old-time Hoboken, with its color- ful and gay beer gardens, had had a sort of folk-dancing and a few con- vivials had been noticed traipsing be- tween tables. But the custom of regulated dance programs with din- ner was a new vogue that sent thou- sands to the night resorts. eee It is also recorded by historians that the most notorious dance hall in town was once owned by a certain Harry Hill. It was located on the fringe of Greenwich Village, where Broadway meets Houston. It was one of the naughty sights which no visiting slummer dared miss. A lit- tle marinette theater where vulgar playlets were given afforded amuse- ment between dances.
