They point to sev- eral factors that should induce a busi- ness spurt. Among them are the fol- Jowing: Seasonable influences which nor- mally tend to stimulate business; trend of commodity prices; depleted stocks; the gold situation and revival in some European quarters. The seasonal influences throughout the Northwest have been affected ma- terially by a tendency on the part of the farmers to hold their crops for a rise in the market. This has been reflected in car loadings which are below what can be reasonably ex- pected at this season of the year. As for commodity prices, the fed- eral Labor Bureau indicates that for 784 commodities there was a slight advance which seems to be main- BOSTON workers will share a portion of each week with their unfortunate fellows. Senses Public Sentiment Joseph McKee, new mayor of New York city, has made a good beginning. He hit at the core of tax reduction when he slashed payrolls. He cut his own salary from $40,000 to $25,000 and then went straight down the line, ex- empting only those who received $2,000 a year or less. This may not be popular with the political machine of New York, espe- cially Tammany, but McKee evidently is sincere in his efforts to reduce the high cost of municipal government. In recent years municipal and county salaries in New York city have been increasing all out of proportion to the services rendered. Between 1918 and 1927, the city payroll grew more than 121 per cent. Since 1927 it has increased by 34 per cent. New York city has certain manda- tory salaries. Some of them have been fixed by legislative act and oth- ers by referendum. More than half of the city payroll falls in this class, so that the drastic cuts made recently by the new mayor can be appreciated by the taxpayers. Mayor McKee had payrolls amounting to $115,000,000 in the optional class. The city’s budget is in excess of $600,000,000, out of which must come $311,937,199.92 for salaries. Debt service costs $206,710,- 338.30. Elevator operators have been re- ceiving from $1,600 a year to $2,600. Stenographers from $1,000 to $4,000. Telephone operators from $1,200 to $3,600. The new mayor proposes to standardize salaries along business rather than political lines. Sir Gilbert Parker Canada has not produced very many outstanding novelists but two in this generation won international recogni- tion, Ralph Connor, author of “Sky Pilot,” and Sir Gilbert Parker, who pictured the romance of French Can- ada to millions of readers. In the death of Gilbert Parker, lit- erature loses a writer of great ability. His style fascinates and his plots hold the attention of the reader. 3 Lovers of fiction recall “Charley Steele,” one of his great characters in “The Right of Way.” Then there is his delightful story not so well press- agented, “When Valmond Came to Pontiac.” His novels were always among the best sellers. Lately he joined the PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

EARLY ESTABLISHMENT OF IN- TERFERENCE HABIT A baby is a finely adjusted piece of machinery, not weak, but so perfectly Coordinated that, like a fine watch, it is easily put out of order. The first dose of castor oil or other laxative or physic you give a baby is ® matter of tremendous importance which demands the best judgment of @ phsyician. But, shucks, who would tained for the most part. ‘These com-| ¥Titers’ colony at Hollywood and some | submit such a question to the doctor? modities demand the highest price since April.

Railroads, usually in the market at mid-summer for great quantities of supplies, have purchased very closely. It is believed that the railroads will be in the market before long with larger equipment orders. Commodity stocks therefore are at the lowest point in the period of the depression which began in 1929. Sea- sonable buying, it is anticipated, will be greater than in past years because of depleted inventories. Another factor in the business pic- ture, of course, is the movement of gold. Flow of gold to Europe from the United States at the time of the depression in 1929 started currency hoarding. People feared the stability of the nation’s financial structure. It was heard on all sides that this coun- try would be forced off the gold stand- ard, These fears have not been jus- tified. Some of the millions hoarded have returned to circulation again. ‘The run on gold has ceased and there has been a flow back to this country. European investors, realizing that our stocks and bonds were far lower in price than was justified, have begun purchasing them for investment. The transactions have not been numerous enough to start a flurry of great pro- Portions but the trend is hopeful, any- way. Since June 15, 1932, there has been a net gain in the inflow of gold of some 177 millions. As far as Europe is concerned, Ger- many’s success in reducing her repar- ations obligations so that she now owes about one cent on the dollar compared to what was assessed against her originally, has been“ helpful. By application of a shrewd diplomacy she 4s making a drive against other ar- ticles in the Versailles treaty. Eco- nomic revival of Germany will much to this nation as well as to Europe. England has been able to convert her national debt so that there is an annual interest saving of many mil- lions. It indicates two things, credit is always smooth and descriptions of the province of Quebec are really classics. Those of the younger generation who do not know Parker's work have missed muph enjoyment. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they e or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Understood and Condemned (New York Times) Signs multiply in every part of the nation that the American people, re- gardless of , Tealize the extent and degree e outrage which Tam- many and James J. Walker would per- petrate upon an upright public serv- ant for doing his duty as he sees it. The Republican and independent press join in denouncing the false grounds upon which deadly political reprisals are planned in behalf of a discredited public official who lacks the fortitude to fight to a finish un- less the battlefield is of his own chi and all the weapons are placed in his hands. The people of the country once more are made aware that Tammany would sacrifice the national party to which it pro- fessedly belongs to punish a New York Democratic governor and presidential nominee for declining to exculpate the machine’s chief officeholder in ad- vance of full hearing, in the absence of proofs of innocence. Despite Mr. Walker's heat and rhet- oric, comment from many places makes it clear that the untrue prem- ises in his statement are as fully real- ized by press and public as the na- ture and purpose of the political plot to destroy Governor Roosevelt. The glittering: “personality” of which so much has been heard, and which has for years been offered to New York city in lieu of labor and duty, has not blinded the rest of America to the plain facts and implications of the ex-mayor’s resignation. The country knows that, to cover the circumstance of quitting under fire, the impartial and firm conduct of the governor of New York has been twisted into bias which the record flatly controverts. It the dog. A baby in some households is no better than a dog when it comes to a question of plying the young one with medicine. The second and third dose of physic are worse than the first. A fairly healthy baby might get over the first dose all right and suffer no lasting injury. But when you follow up your attack, blow upon blow, almost any infant will succumb and thereafter the internal machinery will require pretty regular castor oiling or else it won't work to suit the old women of the neighborhood at all. And surely you would not have a baby around the place that doesn’t conform to the whims of the neighborhood busy- bodies, would you, dumb ones? The first dose merely disrupts or temporarily upsets co-ordination. Jars things, like shifting into reverse gear while you are still traveling forward. The second and third doses increase the inco-ordination and tend to set up a conditioned reflex, as physicolo- gists call it. That is, the alimentary function soon becomes dependent upon the dose of physic, just as an animal learns after a certain number of repetitions, to come to feed at the sound of a bell or your call. Just how many doses of castor oil or other lax- ative it is necessary to give in order to establish the physic habit I need not estimate. Why establish the habit? In infant or adult there is never any serious harm done by absolutely refraining from the use of any and all physics, laxatives or artificial aids to bowel action. In the morbid fancy of those thoroughly misinformed by quacks and nostrum mongers, there is grave danger in going without the customary physic. In actual fact no such ill consequences develop. Would I dare to be so positive and arbitrary about this if any reputable physician could refute my teaching? A contributing factor of the consti- pation habit in infancy is inadequate feeding—too weak a modified milk formula, and failure to add to the or- milk ration @ suitable ration of fresh fruit juice, cod liver oil, and in the second half of the first year, such foods as ripe banana, scraped beef, chicken or mutton, raw or cooked vegetables passed through a collander or coarse mesh seive. The right name for constipation in almost all cases is interference habit, for if the natural automatic regula- tion of the bowel function were not knows that the project to seek “vin- ition” on the very party ticket headed by the state magistrate so vulgarly and untruthfully represented interfered with there would be no such trouble to worry about.

What still darkens the world com- mercial picture are the competitive tariffs of this and other nations.

New York, Sept. 8.—No longer does one hear tales of fortunes in tips piled up by tony head waiters and of maitres d’ hotel who are chauffeured home in Rolls Roughs. ... ‘The golden flood has been stemmed these many months and there are whisperings of liveried doormen who pawned their phony medals and gold braid. The lowest tips today are said to come from the highest hats. Gar- cons, who once got ten spots for re- serving a special table, now turn to the lowly out-of-town customers for rewards. They're jolly well glad to greet the fellow with a wisp of hay on his lapel. He may turn out to be the sole cash customer. Time was when such a gent was ritzed out of the place. * * % Just a year ago, the heart affairs of Wolfgang Gromer, old Waldorf-Astoria, came into and verified many of the rumors of wealth. It was claimed that he had “squandered millions on various beau- ties.” Very nice, indeed, for a hotel domo to have millions to toss about. How- ever, at one time Gromer was found to have realty interests of several mil- lions. ‘That was but one instance. Door- men and flunkies at the smarter ho- tels owned Long Island estates and frequented broker’s offices. Today many are glad to have jobs, since scores of buildings, cafes and such have dispensed with their doormen as an economy measure. ... xe * PASS THE BEANS ‘The Actors Dinner Club, started as @ dining place for hungry actors, has grown into one of the big town’s lead- ing tourist attractions.

Bt TODAY anc er BRITISH SMASH GERMAN LINE On Sept. 8, 1918, British forces on the Somme sector continued their hammering at the highly fortified German positions and made impor- tant gains toward St. Quentin and Laon, taking Villeveque and the great- er part of Havincourt wood. Many positions gained during the day were well within the old Hin- denburg line. The British had reached the old German line of March 21 on nearly their entire front. It was from these positions that the great Ger- man drive, which almost succeeded in smashing the British army, was launched. French troops took Hamel and sev- eral other villages, but reported no month. Americans advanced northward on the Aisne sector, fighting their way through highly fortified positions. f Whe - COPYRIGHT 1931, BY INTERNATIONAL. SYNOPSIS The Mexican peons, grown tired of Paco Morales’ oppression, await came with anger in their eyes when they should have brought friendship. They battered down my lodges, they stampeded my horses, they threat-| ened my young men, and one of them I had to kill. I take no sorrow for that, but unless these bonds are taken from my hands, you, Paco Morales, will take great sorrow, for we Yaqui of the mountains are many and our young men have not forgot- ten other days. It might be easier to urge them to battle than to hold them back.” He stopped speaking. Morales, without a word, walked up to the man and cut the bonds at his wrists. “My men will trouble you no more,” he said slowly. “Go in ” ce.’ Not until the moccasins of the Yaqui had shuffled out through ithe patio did anyone speak; then with a smile that still held a kind of sinister “One more loyal follower like you, Jito mio, and I shall be a ruined man. Once the Yaqui joins with this Coy- ote bandit, your vaqueros will have little time for merriment.” A sud- den tremor of anger seized him. “Take, for the love of God, your band forever out of may be” He who grows too old to remember the demands of hospitality. Now I am very tired. Good night, sefiors. As for you, Jito, come to my room a moment. There are a few things that must be said.” His gaunt shoulders seemed more bowed as he left the room. Jito fol- lowed after a surly nod at the two) Americans. For a time Don Bob smoked on in silence while Ted paced the length of the room, “It's hideous,” Ted exclaimed. “This cold contempt for life these vaqueros have. Morales himself cares nothing. I’m wondering why we con- tinue to take his hand and cat his food.” “My dear fellow, what earthly good would it do to insult him now?

It is as if he, too, felt the breaking up of things. This kingdom of fear that he has built can’t go.on always. There are mutterings. That Yaqui bluffed his way to freedom. Morales didn’t dare hold him. The peons themselves aren’t taking things ly- ing down as they once did. And be- hind all this is the shadow of El Coyote. No, I thinle Sefior Morales has many things to think of this night, Thoughts that will be unwel- come bedfellows for the Spaniard.” But Ted was gazing out toward the desert, and a little smile was playing about his mouth. When he looked up it was obvious he hadn’t heard a word of Don Bob’s solilo- quy, for he murmured: “You should have seen her. She was magnificent.” “My son,” answered Don Bob sor- rowfully, “when they reach your i s in a good Ai Ted’s he led him up the stairs. Twice in the night Ted awoke to hear rain pattering on the tile roof, but the sunrise was cloudless. Adela waited for him in the patio, and in her face lay no sign of the night’s happening, but as they passed down the walk to where the horses stood she looked silently up toward the mesa, High up on its edge, touched with the sun’s first rays, glittered the Cross of the Conquerors. Lips She mounted and led the way down the long drive. “The first morning of creation must have been like this,” Ted told her, as they rode through the gate and out toward the desert. “Every- thing washed and dusted.

They are just things that do his will.” “Jito certainly seems a little in- clined that way.” “Oh, Jito is a child, mentally. My uncle is his god. Jito is cruel only as a child is cruel. Sometimes when 1 have him to myself I make him sorry. But deep inside he is proud to be the feared leader of my uncle’s herdsmen.” At the top of a little knoll she stopped, and together they looked out through the fresh morning air and over the blue sagebrush to where far-off purple mountains cast long shadows across the world. A little breeze stirred the desert stillness with the sound as of very distant waters, and in a kind of enchanted silence those two watched and liste ened, held by sé beauty and peace of it, When &t last the girl turned, great tears stood in her eyes. She whispered, as if half afraid to break the spell: “How wonderful this all is, this beautiful country of mine. Life could be perfect here. It one might have his little piece of land, his home and his work to do. When I was away at school, like an alien out there in the world, I reale ized then how much I loved all this desert country of mine. Each night I would pray the Mother of God to show me how I might come back and change this land of slavery into the paradise it should really be, The freedom and hopefulness that in your country you have. And so easily we spur, “But why cloud a perfect morning? [ had resolved to put all this behind me today—and be gay. If I did not sometimes forget, I should go mad. So now you will tell me about your own country.” But Ted shook his head. “You al- ready know about my country.

T'm wondering if it isn’t because you pity me for—what’s happened,” he said. Leaning forward she fondled the soft ears of her horse. “T’ve not felt the least twinge of pity. Why should 1, when the future semember—I only know he was big and handsome and had a wild Latin temper. And I know he loved my mother very greatly. So don’t give me credit for too much charity. ‘These people of mine, they have need of all the charity I possess.” “T love the way you call them your people.” “They are my people. Don't for- get my mother had Mexican blood in her veins as well as Irish, And she loved this country and these peo- ple just as I do. She taught me their legends and their songs. So I am a creature of this desert country.” After a long moment she added, “I wish I could make it a country of happiness instead of tears.” “You mean——” ‘ “What you saw last night.

You should say the four of us. Because we'd enlist your talents too. We would have you rub Jito’s nose in the dust each morning before breakfast.
