Save Money—lIt Pays. George Will Survive It. By Arthur Brisbane __ [PES country 1s coaring, threaten ing, moaning, because Englana bas all the rubber, and makes us pay. Simultaneously, certain Americans would like to put Secretary Mellon in the electric chair, because ha has done for the United States, with aluminum, what intelligent British. ers have done for their country, with rubber. Thanks to Mellon, Americs bosses the aluminum situation. Mr Metion is honest. intelligent and able, consequently those that investigate his business will find that it been managed necordine intelligen+* te tay an Loe auportant fact is that, thanics to Mellon, the country bas plenty of aluminum. When Mr. Mellon, who has gone into everything, includ ing oil, banks, real estate. copper and a hundred other lines, took up the aluminum industry. it was flat on its back, bankrupt. He noticed @ young clerk under 25 years of age was able to answer questions as to why the company was flat. He put the young man. named Davis, in charge of the company many years ago, and’ he is its president now. Those that hound Mellon may ask themselves how they would like it it Mellon had not developed aluminum production, keeping in America con trol of that light sironge metal. abso- lutely necessary in mak™¢ flying machin ard automobiles that de- mands a combination of strength and lightness. How it would be to have English- men controlling the aluminum de- posits in South America and else- where, nearly all of which Andrew Mellon thoughtfully accumulated un- der American ownership If you don't like rich men merely because they are rich, you don’t like Mellon. Nobody with his intelligence and capacity for hard wort could avoid getting rich in America. But if you like an American, intelligent honest, and sufficiently to keep an important metal industry under Unit- ed States control, then you will not complain of Mellon in spite of his wealth. He has used his brain to build up American industry. although Heayen only knows and Mellon prob- ably wonders, why he worked to get the last few hundred millions. At present, for a salary that he would consider disgracefully small for a third vice president in any of his companies, he is working for Uncle Sam. He has cut exnenses, paid off billions of public debt. When he reads some of the fool- ish attacks upon him, he probably swenders why he does that. He lives to realize, as many have done that while it may be dulce et decorum to die or work for your country, you are not to expect much thanks for it. HILADELPHIA’S Wister insti- tute, part of the University of Pennsylvania, specializes In breeding white rats, cousin of the gray rat, not ordinary sewer rats that carried Plague. The rats live and breed in a special rat establishment costing $50.000 and are shipped to scientific bodies all over the world, including Japan, that scientists may work on “standard- ized rats” and compare results satis- factorily. The rats live, die and submit to disease infection knowing as little as human being know about the why and wherefore. Little do they dream that their tissues, structure, growth and digestive processes hap- pen to resemble those of men, and that they breed, li die, only to have a higher race from death.

Barger said that her band and Violet Hawthorne had taken a trip to Casper mountain ostensibly for Christmas trees, but that they spent several nights there She also’ cited another instance where the man and the girl had gone on a vacation trip to Riverton which lasted for about two weeks The last straw was Barger’s action {n bringing the girl to his own homo Several neighbors were called to testify. They declared that It Was generally understood in the neigh- borhood of 1014 South Oak street, the home of the girl, that Barger hus and she were husband and wife.

Whether such an extreme measure will be taken tn order to get support for the enterprise which means much to Casper and the state of Wyoming has not been determined yet and probably will be left to the judgment of a delegation which will be sent to Washington at the time commit- tee hearings are being held on the hill introduced tn the house by Con- eressman Charles E Winter.
