Unreal Riches Melt Like May Snowfall That odd atmosphere of unreality in which large-scale financial opera- tions sometimes take place was never better illustrated than by some of the testimony given in the current trial of Samuel Insull. This testimony had to do with that famous battle between Insull and Cyrus Eaton, Cleveland utilities mag- nate, for control of three of Insull’s most important properties, According to witnesses, Eaton set out to corner large blocks of stock in these companies at a time when their condition was @ bit shaky and Insull was worried about them. Altogether, Eaton rounded up something like 160,000 shares, at market prices aver- aging slightly more than $300 share. ‘Then, it is testified, he went to In- sull and Geclared that he wanted ‘$400 a share for this stock—threaten- our shoulders at the shady places be- neath the trees, ‘We may not like the present era. It may be inferior to grandfather's day in any of a dozen ways. But it 4s the era we have to live in; and only by facing it resolutely and bravely can we pave the way for a future that will be an improvement on it. Once in a great while the stream of human history makes an abrupt, right-angled turn, away fronr every- thing that people are familiar with, on toward the unknown, ‘We seem to be living in just such @ moment today. Our preoccupation with the past is natural, but it is also bad for us. It’s time we started look- ing ahead, not backward. A Tough Kid’ Cries ‘There is something both humorous jand grimly appalling about the story of @ 9-year-old New York boy who was arrested with a burglar’s kit in his possession and was accused of breaking into a store. ‘This lad talked the lingo of gang- land. He told the police, “Gimme the works—it won’t do you no good.” ‘They gave him ice cream, instead of the works, and he said: “I'm tough, and I don’t go for that squealing stuff.” When he succeeded in getting the police off on « false trail, he chortled, “That was a just a run-around for you guys.” Finally, to be sure, they. brought in the young toughy’s mother, and he broke down and wept like any other kid in a jam. But his juvenile bravado, his very obvious effort to pattern himself after the desperadoes of the under- ‘wotld—don’t they constitute a terri- fying indictment of the kind of ma- terial some children are given for models, these days? New Conquests in Air Ever since Lindbergh flew to Paris, Americans have been expecting reg- ular, commercial transocearfic flights to be established. The seeming ease with which Lindbergh made his trip blinded us to the difficulties of the ing to dump it all on the market if the price was refused. feat; not until other flyers had sac- rificed their lives did we realize how Pe f shan't find salvation by looking over ‘Big Shots’ EE, The NewDeal Washington his automobile when the band struck itup.

Officials of Pan-American Air- tion Securities Co. raised $40,000,000 through the issuance of serial gold notes, and Eaton was paid $56,000,000 $48,000,000 in cash and $8,000,000 in stocks. Now an innocent bystander would suppose that whatever this deal might have done to Insull, it would at least have left Eaton sitting very pretty indeed. After all, $48,000,000 in cold cash is a neat little nest egg. The finan- cial worries of Eaton, doubtless, were forever ended, then? Not at all. Today the personal fortune of this financier is egtincted at abut $100,000. Whatever may Titve happened to that $48,000,000, it at least seems certain that it has left Eaton's pocket. ‘What, then, was the result of this titanic combat of the money kings? Ruin for Insull, certainly; for Eaton, ® stupendous victory whose fruits, within « few short years, turned to dust like Dead Sea apples. Like so many of the games of the Teference to the depression. It is as 4f the depression, to these authors, simply climaxed a progression that had been going on for a long time; & progression away from the old sim- plicities, the old virtues, the old con- days. Men’s ideas were less confused. ‘Their certainties were less open to question. : The one unquestionable fact is that ways say that it is only “a matter of months” before they begin operations across the Pacific with a fleet of giant planes of the Clipper type. And Dr. Hugo Eckener sails for America to discuss anew his plans for beginning regular dirigible service between the United States and Europe. That both oceans will eventually be spanned by commercial air lines seems certain; and it begins to look as if the dream will be realized in the comparatively near future. Gambling on Football Gambling on college football games is rapidly becoming one of the most popular diversions of the sports fra- ternity. Week by week the total wagered on such games rises. Foot- ball is now one of the favorite me- diums of the betting rings—partly, it is said, because this is the one ma- jor sport concerning whose absolute integrity no one ever has the slightest doubt. Tt comes as a bit of a shock, how- ever, to read in a racing sheet an ad- vertisement of a regular system of handicapping the various college teams on the basis of past perform- ances, (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Oct. 30.—This is an era of “concidences” and if you didn’t know that the arm of coincidence was, @ long one you might be tempted to think the gentleman in the White House was no more virtuously aloof from the tricks of politics than his predecessors.

Just a few sample “concidences”: Mr. Joe Guffey, the slick Pennsyl- vania boss who's the New Deal can- didate against Senator Dave Reed, and Guffey’s running-mate, George Earle, who would be governor, stepped out from a White House luncheon with a statement. The president was ordering a sur- vey of a $57,000,000 electrical develop- ment centering in Pennsylvania, to be based largely on water power. “Merely coincidental,” said Earle when asked how it happened the statement cam2 so near election day. ‘What seemed to make the coinci- dence almost miraculous was the fact that Morris L, Cooke, administration power expert, who sat in at the luncheon, after his “Giant Power Sur- vey” in Pennsylvania, has reported that coal, not water power, must be the economic base of Pennsylvania's electrical development. t help of luck But he The stunt that has been applied to the ponies for years is widened to take in the gridiron.

Animals in nature rarely become too | fat. In captivity or domestication they often do. Not because they don’t get enough exercise, but because they live naturally on food as it grows, but in captivity or domestication they are fed with more or less refined food. In the instinctive effort to get what the body requires, they eat too much re- fined food, and grow fat. This is so simple it seems almost absurd, yet it is, I believe, the secret of the cause and cure of ordinary obesity.
