Many of us bought the bonds of those countries and the securities of their industries, Like many other in- vestments, these have shown depre- ‘elation. In commenting on the activities oz @ number of organizations seeking to get investors to switch South Ameri- can securities to something else of lapeculative or uncertain character, the Committee on Inter-American Rela- tions, composed of American business men, points out that in hasty or il considered action “there is grave danger of Latin American bonds be- ing sacrificed with great and unnec- essary loss to holders.” Very careful investigation is need- ed of the many substitutions now be- ing offered investors in exchange for their South American securities. In referring to the potential strength of our own United States, a Prominent economist created the phrase, “Don’t sell America short.” ‘His statement might well be applied to the countries south of us. Theis great natural resources should cause them to forge to the front in the next generation as did ours after the Civi! War.

A physician immediately examines the skull for the presence of any open wound or laceration of the scalp, with a view to finding out promptly whether or not the skull has been injured. Of course, an X-ray picture should be taken as soon as the patient's condition permits. The head of the unconscious per- on should always be kept lowered. It age from the nose or ears, the patient should be put in a position where breathing will be as easy as possible. The physician who examines such a Patient feels the pulse to know wheth- er ‘correctly. If there is interference in the brain due to blood, the pulse is likely to be- come tention to certain significant facts: Casualty insurance is a form of bus- iness where the buyer makes the Price the seller may charge. The pol- icyholder, in other words, makes his own rates no matter whether it be automobile, burglary, personal lability or any other form. When the ratio of loases to premiums mounts, the rates rise. When it drops, they go down. All the companies do is to combine the results of their dealings with the policyholders, determining by that Carnival Language New York, April 19.—This is the season when, traversing New York's midtown lanes, you hear a lingo un- familiar to all ears, save those of the initiate. Out of sidewalk conversations come popping such words and terms as: in whieh the entire newspaper pro-|process what the premium charge|shill, bally, grifter, walk-through, tan- fession has given its whole-hearted cooperation and says others cannot now be told because conditions which made it desirable to withhold them from print still prevail. Incidentally, ft mentions the fact that the press associations and newspapers have of- fered to “lay off” the story entirely if Lindbergh wishes them to do so. So far, however, he has been unable to Bee any advantage to himself or to the search for the child in such an ar- rangement. The offer was made strictly in an effort to aid in getting the child back, despite the fact that the commodity which newspapers se!] is news and the further fact that peo- ple everywhere are daily asking for information about the Lindbergh case, one of the greatest news stories of the generation. . In other cases, the newspapers have Published stories which were deliber- ‘ately misleading in an effort to aid dn the kidnap negotiations. They did ‘so, even when they knew the truth, ause Col. Lindbergh asked them to assist him. As published by Editor ‘and Publisher, the picture is far dif- fferent from that given out by Gov- ernor Harry Moore of New Jersey when he said, early in the search, hat the newspapers were complicat- Ang matters. * Back of that suggestion there is the story of numerous clashes between mewspapermen on the one side and ‘the governor's office and the state “police on the other. The background for this misunderstanding, probably, is the dislike which newspapermen pave of being lied to—and they caught qfirst. the governor's secretary and ater the state police in numerous flies. 1 ‘This story includes recitation of ‘wire-tapping by the police in an ef- dort to establish an invisible censor- ‘hip of news reports. 1 In reading this amazing story, we arn that at least two newspapers ywere fully aware of the activities of Ir. J. F. Condon, Lindbergh's negotia- Zor and sponsor of the famous “Jafsie” notes, weeks before Dr. Condon’s yname ever was mentioned in print. One newspaperman assisted and col- @aborated in this work and knew ali tof the details all of the time. ‘ Altogether, as one reads the story of how the newspapers have cooper- fated and helped in the effort to re- ‘store the child to its parents, he finds @ source of new pride in one of the oldest and greatest of the professions. 4 Journalism as it exists in New York ps the most highly competitive pro- Mession in the world. The life-blood of the newspaper business is the “hot” which stirs public interest. It reassuring to learn that the news- standards in such circum- are such that cognizance can taken of the rights and interests others, even though the newspaper pledged to serve the interests o: general public. ‘The Lindbergh case probably repre- the most complete abandonment the practices—or even the sugges- so-called yellow journalism this generation has known. ——— Don’t Get Cold Feet ‘There is in the United States s con- shall be. It follows, therefore, that so long as the motorist of the United States continues to increase the accident rec- ord, he must continue to pay more and more for @ vital protection. The nation, the states and cities may build modern highways; they may install effective signals and seek for absolute enforcement of traffic regulation, yet in the last analysis they can ac- complish very little unless the driver does his part. It is up to the man behind the steering wheel. It Should Be Done North Dakota contractors gave sound advice to members of the cap- itol commission Saturday when they suggested that a definite scale of wages be incorporated in the specifi- cations for the new building. The advantages to the contractors are, of course, obvious. With many men asking for work it would be pos- sible for a bidder, if he were so minded and there were no other restraints, to figure on labor at starvation wages and thereby underbid men who re- fuse to pay less than a living wage. The acale, if one is adopted, should take cognizance of the times and of the interests of the taxpayers who will foot the bill for the structure, but it should be high enough to match the ethical standard which American labor has set for itself. This is “an honest day's work for an honest day's pay.” Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, published without regard ether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policte: A Division of Sentiment (Duluth Herald) The agitation for the soliders’ bonus has been pushed so strenuously that many have been misled into believing that the American Legion is unani- mous in demanding that congress pass the two-billion-dollar appropriation and that Commander Stevens is prac- tically alone in opposition. That this is not true and that there is a very Pronounced division of sentiment among Legionnaires on this question was brought out very strongly by a vigorous protest against the proposi- tion by a New York post a few days a go. Deploring the activity of some of their members in Washington and what they termed “high pressure Propaganda” for the bonus, the Wil- lard Straight post of New York sent Commander Stevens a telegram in which they used the following un- mistakable language: ‘We demand discontinuance of Washington lobby and all at- tempts to coerce congress to vote in-one, tab, grinds, pitch, jam-store, fudges, peelers and raids, And many, many, more. ee % Buch is the slanguage of the car- nival world, and these are the folk who use a ferris wheel for a com- pass. They gather in lobbies of side street hotels frequented by “the pro- fesh.” They gather on street corners. They gather particularly, in the vi- cinity of The Billboard office. Here, too, come midgets, fat women and skinny men, strong men and “rubber neck” men, sword swallowers and fire eaters. They are @ race unto them- selves. While Chicago and Cincinnati are accepted centers for the street ‘air and carnival type of entertainment, hundreds of them drift into Manhat- tan with an eye on Coney Island, At- lantic City and the scores of booking agents. * # * Numbering the Nomads Being a nomadic tribe, few have anything like a permanent postotffice address. Hence Billboard has a P. O. unique in its activities. In size it re- sembles that of a fair-sized city.

Free and easy.” Susan stared at him, “You like that?” Ben moved impatiently. “Oh, I knew what you'd say. I know the apartment’s kind of messy. But they're not tied down, They live their own lives and have a good time.” Susan felt an hysterical impulse to laugh but she restrained herself. She had thought the whole crowd, the Strinskys and their unwashed friends (with the exception of that exotic blossom, Denise), dreadful people. She iet her hand lie limply in Ben’s warm one at parting. “I can’t ask you to come in,” Susan said gently, “Aunt Jessie’s gone to bed. Thank you for taking me to the party.” Ben muttered, “Wanted you to meet the crowd. You'll like them better when you know them. They're real people,” Susan withdrew her hand. “Good night, then,” she said, avoiding his hot, uncomfortable gaze, He called after her, “I'll phone you.” Susan waved to him through the screen door, glad the tiresome evening was over. There was something almost frightening about Ben's intensity. Even when he had talked of the Strinskys’ romance he had made it seem a personal matter. Those dreadful people!

Today he is the martyr of his own re- search in this branch of medical science. When he first began his ex- ) | periments, such things as lead shields to work behind to protect one from the rays were unheard of. Constant exposure to their energy caused his arm to become infected. The 63-year- ajold physician recently had to have prisoner clad in nothing but a blan-|the arm amputated. “I wanted to tell you something,” sensible shoes and devoted them- selves wholeheartedly to the con- cern for which they labored. Susan said to herself: that it wouldn’t be so bad if the average secretary could seo herself getting ahead as a young man might, using the office as a stepping stone to higher places. The typical girl worker, however, poured her en- ergy, her sympathy and her intelli- gence into the job and unless she met with exceptional luck or ex- traordinary fayoritsm she might work 10, 15, 20 years without any recognition beyond the weekly pay envelope whose sum remained dis- couragingly small. eee HE was young, she was lonely, she was good. Sometimes dur- ing those warm, disturbing summer nights Susan wondered if it paid. She wondered if she might not, some day, answer the invitation in Jack Waring’s eyes. She wonderzd it that seat in his sport roadster might not prove altogether tvo al- luring some evening. Susan hoped not but she wondered. The telephone rang one morning when she was alone in the office. “Hullo. Miss Carey?” The girl's heart, for no good rea- son, began to beat thickly and un- comfortably. “This is Bob Dunbar. Be an angel and have lunch with me, At one? Righto. How about the Black- stone?” Susan hung up the receiver with @ gasp. The Blackstone, and she raucous music of the radio next door, would wonder about life, She was 19, not unattractive, intelli- gent, Promise was there ahead for her? Even if she held the job at Ernest Heath's (and it looked as if she might, with Miss O'Connell's convalescence lengthen- ing out) what had she to look for- ward to? Next year she might get $22 a week. Ir..five years she might even be making $35. Well, what then? She would stay on with Aunt Jes- ale in the cottage. She would be 25, she would be 30, 35. She would begin to wear eyeglasses and go to lectures in the evening with some Woman friend, She would be one of the brave, ever-increasing army of unmarried women workers in the Loop district, They had their two weeks’ vacation, their one pre- sentable suit. They wore nest, was wearing her old pink shan- tung! Well, her hat was new, It was 8 little rose pink straw she had picked up on a basement coun- ter for $1.50. You would never have guessed the price. In a fever of excitement she waited for Pier- son to come back to relieve her. With trembling fingers she pressed the small hat into place. If only she had known, if only she had guessed he was going to call her! She might have had a manicure, She might have worn her more sophisticated blue crepe. She might have done a thousand things! Dissatisfied, almost in tears, at last she picked up her hand bag and turned to go, Pierson’s whin- ing voice followed her. “Don’t forget to be back by two, sharp, Mr. Heath has that cathe ” Bob said. Susan caught her underlip in her "You must know—you teeth. Well, that was being a working girl, She would have to hurry. No dallying over the coffee cups for her today. She walked on air to Michigan avenue, Despite the fact that the society editors declared no one stayed in Chicago for the dog-days there was, as usual, a well-dressed, alert-eyed throng of shoppers on the avenue. The day was a gift from the gods. Cool, almost sharp that breeze was and there were white caps ruffling the cobalt surface of the “inland sea.” Susan drew great breaths and was glad to be alive—glad to be on the sunny side of 20—glad to be meeting this particular young man, He came toward her, detaching himself from the little group in the lobby, and she felt a lift of the heart at sight of that tall, well-knit figure in its perfectly fitting gray flannels. He lifted his hat, and that simple action sent her heart rearing and Plunging like a wild thing. “You look awfully fit!” The clipped voice was just as Susan re- Mmembered it. Not for nothing had Bob Dunbar spent several years at British schools, She smiled at him, almost too happy to speak. “You, too,” she said softly, She wondered why she was always at ease with this boy.

It was as if they had known each other for- ever. ary HE Jeanea across tne table, his blue eyes darkening as he stared at her frankly, quite as if he'd never seen her before, “I like you in that pink thing,” he said slowly.

T hoped—” The waiter arrived with a tray of little silver dishes and Susan hated him. There was an interval and then they wei ne again in the vast, scented, murmuring room once more, “Well, that’s that!” Bob Dunbar told her, His laugh sounded nerv- ous and harsh, “Perhaps you'll still be around when I come back.” “When will that be?” “Oh, late fall—by Christmas, at the outside.” Christmas — Christmas — Christ- mas—, Susan felt as though she Were suffocating, To find love, all «: once, and hav» it snatched away, Those large, fringed eyes, gray ane bla- by turn, were raised to is. “That's right, I wanted to tell you something..
