O’Connor of the Un States shipping board informed the Borah committee when he was asked about alleged soviet contributions to the’ La Follette-Wheeler campaign. “T can't think of any just now,” O’Connor said when asked for the name of “any living soul who knows anything about any soviet money being sent to the United States at any time or place.” “But if you will let me tell you what I think, I can give you some startling stories,” O'Connor added. _The committee wanted facts, not stories, so O'Connor didn’t get very far. But for people who won't hold him down to facts, 0’ nor has much that he will gladly tell. Yon- Human Nature at Its Worst OME people are always “reporting” clerks, porters, de- liverymen and streetcar conductors for such terrible offenses as incivility, discourtesy or slow service, In its chronic form, this “reporting” diseased nerves—sometimes of mania. _ All of us have it, at times. Psychologists explain: The individual encounters many disagreeable things in the course of his daily business—things which he must swal- low in silence, for fear that a retort would injure his own welfare. For instance, a bullying boss “rags” an employe who dare not talk back, else he lose his job. 5 Resentment piles up inwardly and finally is vented on some unfortunate Pullman porter or clerk who forgets that we should be fawned over, no matter how nasty we become, and commits the unpardonable sin of neglecting to play up to our vanity. Most of us are Chinese emperor: when we are buying goods or services. _ These clerks and conductors and others who serve us in our buying and traveling are human beings. We might treasure them as warm friends if we knew them in- timately. Sensible and Christian are members of the Apprecia- tion league, who “report” only good service and courte —and overlook incivility as something that eventually de livers its own punishment by keeping the doer from be- coming successful or happy. is a symptom of at heart—particularly Warnings ATURE looks after us. She will not permit anything that would make us live longer than she intends, But she does want us to live our intended time. As cities become larger and more congested, their resi- dents’ health averages worse. Epidemics may be pre- vented, but the “all in” or half-ill feeling multiplies. A a can be 50 per cent dead and still not be statistically sick. ‘ Quite obviously, nature is attacking the ‘city man’s health to warn him to get out where he was intended to live—close to nature. The airplane will make escape possible. ’ It’s Costly N THOUSAND MILLION DOLBARS and more w ; the cost of government in our country in 1923. This includes national, state and local expenditures, _ It’s claimed that $15 out of every $100 of the people's incomes went for government—$91 apiece during the year. _ ‘Phis is what you are paying for the privilege of vot- ing. Are you going to use that privilege? Building Boom HIS year will close with $600,000,000 worth of new buildings erected in the United States, predict of- ficials of 8S. W. Straus & Co., able authorities, The figure for 1923 was about the same. One billion two hundred million dollars’ worth of construction in two ears is a lot. The housing shortage is not yet eliminated, but a big hole has been made in it. Which brings the pub- lic closer to lower rents. Maybe if we can hang on 60 or 75 years, rents will be back to normal, WHY GREAT BRITAIN C Empire | Ry Basis of W basis t Re eall 1 4 sas tong © ys tion ta tf tr : 6 es it s 8 Brital just | ¢ iJ . ‘ > ¢ s iif ‘ ‘ ' Ar dave t ta 1 freed t Anglos were fullf A > i went of t , i‘ 4 of In Britain th ts far more | Put ‘ the Britiay | presié ‘ “| a J A instead of cha ii rthi i ( There Are All Kinds of C OA, |GOTA pare ANDER Oyurreue tA?
