As for Stock Exchange manipulation, short selling, the practice | of eelling what you haven’t got}“Seems to be a principle of life,” says | Me. Morgan—and chuckles pleasantly. Mr. Morgan bought Mr. Ryan’s Equitable stock because he “@iought it was the thing to do.” “Some day you'll agree with me,” saye Mr. Morgan. Mr. Morgan does not believe in one man control of great entor- prises—that is, not often. Of course not. As for details, he hates ’em and forgets ‘em. “You belicve in concentrated power?” “That is a question of personal power, of personality,” says Mr. Exactly.

HE scientists are glouting over a newly found human skull some half a million years old, which may prove that man walked erect upon the earth before the earliest age of ice. Judging trom descriptions of this ancestor, who turned up in an English gravel pit, he is interesting but no credit to the family. “The receding, ape-like chin,” says Dr. Wissler, of the Museum of Natural History, “is extremely significant. If these bones really be- longed together the man must have been a monstrosity.” We have brought it on ourselves. Ever since the middle of the lest century civilized man has been in a fever to find his real an- cestors, whatever the scandals involved. Science long ago assured us that the oldest quartering in our coat of arms is a monkey pendant, charged with 4 cocoanut. The sooner we have definite proof of the worst, the better. As Disraeli once said tp a crowd of bishops: “The question is ‘this, Is man an ape or an angel?” To which he stoutly added: “I, “@ my lords, am on the side of the angels.” h: | oe Is there anything left of that bmve old minority? } 4 IN NES -_.«~ THE EGG MAN’S REVENGE.

The ogg '_-‘men are careful to assure us that the Housewives were lured into the 5 scheme in the innocence of their hearts and still believe the idea was all their own. The public which benefited by the crusade will take thie story | with a grain of salt. We have heard of men who made of necessity | a virtue. We can readily believe that the produce and cold storage | plotters are hard and bad enough to turn necessity into a parade of devilish cunning. Egg speculators aro said to have lost over $1,000,- 000 in busted wnargins lately. So the consdlation of a little Machiavel- lian boasting need not be grudged them.
