SIR CHARLES HARINGTON, the British Commander to whom belongs a big part of the credit for the Turkish truce agreed upon at Mudania, says the coming con- ference for the establishment of peacé in the Near East will be the most important council of world powers since Versailles. Will the Government of the United States so regard it? A good many Americans are already asking whether the professed interest of the United States in the fate of Armenians, in the freedom. of the Dardanelles, .in the educational and hu- manitarian movements it has backed in the Near East is deep enough to bring it into even guarded participation in an effort to straighten out Near Eastern problems or whether the great Republic of the West still deems the European powers” unworthy of its out and out ¢o-operation. ~ We have no use for the League of Nations. We make the selfishness of other powers a stand- ing excuse for refusing to commit ourselves to pledge or association with them that might cost us something. We are still waiting for them to become as pure and disinterested as we. Meanwhile we rage over the wrongs of the Armenians and talk wisely of the freedom of the Straits. Here’s likely to be another great co-operative peace proposition to test us out. In the case of the Senator recommended by Glove Manufacturer Littauer, {t may be “Glove Senator Calder” or “Hand in Glove Senator Calder." Both fit. PIGSKIN PARAMOUNT. va ITH the World’s ‘Series settled, football comes into its own with assurance of crescendo action to the end of the season. Already it is evident that football attendance records will be shattered. New and larger fields are 6ne feature, but not the only one. The sea- son. for heavy attendance has been pushed forward. When the great stadiums and bowls were built it was expected they would be ample for even the most important games. This has not proved Ye ceme sinners ae risen meee > true. For the decisive contests staged “py the Big Three of the East no amphitheatre is ade- quate. The Polo Grounds are notoriously too small for the Army-Navy ‘crowd, The result has been that many followers of football have realized that if they hope to see their favorites in action they must attend earlier in the season the less important games. This spreads the attendance over a longer period. The total of tickets sold is much greater. The S. R. O. sign is posted earlier in the season. As a striking example, Yale is expecting 50,000 at the lowa game to-day. PRESIDENT AND TARIFF COMMISSION. EGALLY, President Harding’s order direct- ing that requests “for action or relief” on tariff rates shall be heard by the Tariff Com- mission does not materially alter the situation. The President has final say as to whether the recommendations of the commission shall be followed. Practically, the order may have far-reaching effect on our tariff policy. If the President wills, he can make it unwritten law that the commission’s recommendation shall be accepted. He can protect the commission from political pressure and encourage scientific determination of what the rates ought to be. * On the other hand, it is possible that the “flexible” provision in the bill may be grossly misused as a campaign collection club. It is up to Mr. Harding. If it develops that the commission actually has power, the G. O. P. will never dare to perpetrate another Fordney-McCumber monstrosity. Many of the present rates bear no relation to the protective theory and cannot be brought into relation even by the 50 per cent. cut the Presi- dent is authorized to make. But if the Tariff Commission cuts rates until they are “scientific,” Congress will never again dare to make the rates materially higher. The consumefs will watch the Tariff Commis- sion with fear and trembling, but With hope. Revision can't be too quick nor too drastic. President Harding was politically wise in getting something of the sort started before election. OR DOES THE, NEW WOMAN LOSE THEM? HIS week a jury in General Sessions brought ‘Ty in a verdict of guilty against a gentle- manly stock promoter accused of swindling women out of something like $1,000,000. Commending the jury for the verdict, Judge Talley said: “We used to think of robbery as being com- mitted by persons with jimmies and blackjacks, but that has become rather old-fashioned. The instruments of the trade to-day are a glib tongue and false prospectuses.” Here, it would seem, is a direction in which emancipated woman ought quickly to overtake and pass mere man. We don’t mean in swindling but in seeing through swindlers To ward off the smooth-tongued promoter and his false prospectus, man has only his feeble mind. Woman has, beside her new brains and experience, her famous intuitions. THE WEEK IRE PREVENTION WEEK propaganda finally af- fected the WEATHER too. RAIN soaked the countryside and made it fireproof, Later in the wee’. there was a suggestion that the subway would soon be redolent of moth-ball preservers of resurrected OVERCOATS. THE GIANTS WON THE WORLD'S SERIES, and several EXPERTS who had reduced BASEBALL PROPHECY to EXACT MATHEMATICAL FORMU- LAS have since been reported as VICTIMS of WRIT- ER’S CRAMP or TYPEWRITER PARALYSIS. SAFETY WEEK efforts brought results. Up to Fri- day the 18th fatal injuries numbered LESS THAN ONE-THIRD AS MANY as in the corresponding week last year, and this in spite of a rainy Sunday. Play safe and REGISTER TO-DAY if you have not done so, Registration has dragged and indicated in- difference, BUT REGISTER, ANYHOW. New York’s two able candidates for Governor may yet stop their quarrelsome recriminations and turn loose some tn- teresting and constructive policies to make you WANT TO VOTE. HEROISM AND GOOD FORTUNE were the features of the rescue by the freighter WEST FARALON of the crew and passengers of the steamer CITY OF HONO- LULU, which burned two days out from San Francisco. ATTORNEY GENERAL DAUGHERTY tried to DRY UP THE OCEANS with a PROHIBITION RUL- ING, but the Federal courts said, “Wait awhile and let us see whether the Attorney General knows what he is talking about.” The ANTI-SALOONATICS are there- fore in a state of SUSPENDED GRATIFICATION. The really big and important news of the week may prove to’ be the announcement of an absolute DIA- BETES CURE. Dr. Alfred Stengel of the University of Pennsylvania says the DISCOVERY OF A SERUM by scientists at the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO “is a great step forward.” An offering of $500,000,000 IN GOVERNMENT BONDS was largely OVERSUBSCRIBED. The GER- MAN MARK dropped to 8,000 FOR A DOLLAR one day, but recovered somewhat, perhaps on the an- nouncement that WILLIAM HOHENZOLLERN in- tended to give to CHARITY part of the proceeds of his MEMOIRS.

Brooklyn, Oct. 12, 1922, from strangers before he took him into partnership, sent him out to hunt a job. He got one with a grocer. The morning he came to work, his prospective employer took him into a back room and said: “Tam hiring you to help me get along. I’m going to give you my business rule: “Always stick the customers.’ “Nobody gets a whole pound of sugar in this place; no- body gets a whole pound of coffee. “Don't let them catch you at it but see to it that you save a little out of what they are paying for. That little you save is the profit. That's business.” The youth considered. ‘‘Supposing they find it out and stop coming,” he said. ‘Will that be business?” “It's up to you to see that they don’t find it out. Any- way, if one of them get's suspicious he’s only one. The money we make on the others will more than pay for losing a customer or two.” The applicant was young but he had done a little think- He decided not to take the place. Later he got a position with a larger firm that gave fair weight, and presently saved up enough to get into business for himself. P Once proprietor of his own establishment he reversed the swindler’s rule to read: “Never stick the customer.” His shop was near that of the man who had sought to give him his first business lesson, Within a year he had got that gentleman's custom and within another year saw him go into bankruptcy.
