her five year old daughter were

1.25 $3. SO
SILVER
If I had loose capital to invest
today I would buy silver. The metal
is selling now at the lowest price
in history, measured by the gold
standard. In the money markets of
the world last week it was under
twenty-nine cents an ounce. The
average price of silver for the past
fifty years has been well above sixty
cents an ounce; during and just after
the war it touched $1.30.
Silver is certain to come back.
The President of Mexico has issued a
decree restoring silver to its old
position as money. One of the causes
of the unrest of India has been the
demonetizing of silver, and econom
ists think that silver will be restored
to its old position there.
Anybody who buys silver now
stands a good chance of doubling
his money within three or four years.
nossibly sooner. And if he needs
cash in the meantime silver is a com
modity on which an extremely high
pereentage of market value can al
ways be borrowed.
DAVIS
Keep an eye on Norman H. Davis,
the gentleman who has just been ap
pointed the American member of the
Finance Committee of the League of
Nations. Mr. Davis has the confi
dence of financial leaders and of
statesmen on both sides of the Atlan
tic to a degree approached by few
ether Americans. A native of Ten
nessee, Mr. Davis was one ot Presi
dent Wilson's chief financial advis
ers in the peace negotiations. Then
he came back to America, first as As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury,
then as Under Secretary of State and
tor a time was acting head of the
3ate Department. His new job is to
?uide the nations of Europe in finan
cial matters.
Mr. Davis has never run for elec
tive oftice, but if the Democrats elect
a President next year or in 19:56 I
venture now the prediction that Nor
man H. Davis will hold a high posi
tion in the Cabinet or the Diplo
matic Service.
BAKER
Another Democrat worth keeping
an eye on is Newton I). Baker. Lots
of Democrats would like to see him
President, but I don't think he will
be ihe party's nominee in 1932. He
vilj be heard from in the campaign,
however, and will figure large in any
Democratic administration in his
lifetime.
Mr. Baker is, I believe, the most
effective and convincing orator in
American public life today. His ad
dress last week before the Institute
jf "olitics in Williamstown, Mass.,
as the clearest exposition of the
present polit ican-economic condroin
ot the world that I have read.
CHICAGO
I met Anton Cermak, the mayor
of Chicago the other day. He doesn't
talk or act like a professional poli
tician, but like the business man
which he is. He has all the news
papers of Chicago behind him in his
effort to "clean up" that troubled
city, and that is something which no
mayor has had in many years. And
he is cleaning things up.
Mayor Cermak is enthusiastic in
his "boosting" of the World's Fair
vvhicn is to be held in Chicago in
19?3. commemorating the 100th an
niversary of the founding of the
city. Chicago itself is an exhibit
which ought to draw millions of
visitors. No city In history every ac
complished so much or developed
"?o attractively in its first hundred
years as Chicago has done. I know
of no great city where the common
people have half as good a time as
they do in Chicago or get so much
out of the public parks, playgrounds,
and waterfront. 1 know of no other
great city which has as prthid a
civic spirit among all of its people.
Nobody can possibly know Amer
ica until he knows Chicago.
Churchill, Man., Aug. 2. Flying
above the storm lashed the bay shore
country with the precision of an au
tomatic mechanism. Colonel and Mrs
Charles A. Lindbergh came down on
the blue waters of Churchill harbor
late after a flight of 751.5 miles from
Moose Factory, Ont.
The Lindbergs completed their
journey over the treacherous stretch
of uninhabited country in the fast
time of eight hours and 50 minutes
A crowd of two thousand persons,
Churchill's entire population, was
Ollt to welcome them. Mrs. Bind
bergh waved a greeting to the
throng.
Again the Bindberghs surprised
the outside world. Saturday the si
lence of their radio provoked appre
hension over their safe landing at
Moose Factory from Ottawa, and it
was not until the Associated Press
dispatched a plane to Moose Factory
that definite word was obtained. To-
i!,iy in the face of weather which
the Churchill radio operator describ
ed as stormy and suggested might
nuse them to land south of here
they maintained the high average of
8 3 miles an hour.
Bindbergh indicated he would re
main overnight before continuing to
Baker lake. 375 miles north. The
couple left Moose Factory at 10 a. m.
today. World-Herald.
PETITION SAID DEFECTIVE
TELEPHONE
The radio telephone system across
the Atlantic is working so well that
the American Telephone & Tele
graph Company announces that it
vill soon begin telephone service
across the Pacific. That will be an
other preventer of war.
Without the trans-Atlantic tele
phone President Hoover's program
cf international co-operation to re
lieve Germany's economic distress
could not have been carried out. It
enabled the President to talk as free
ly to Secretaries Mellon and Stimson
vhen they were in Paris and London
as if they had been in Washington.
"The difference between telephon
ing and cabling in a case like this,"
one of the President's close friends
explained to me, "is that, even when
a cable message la put in secret code
there is a record of It, somewhere,
and diplomacy makes it impossible to
express beliefs and opinions freely
or to tell the actual complete facts
in all cases, since there is always the
chance that the record wili some day.
be unearthed and made public. But
over the telephone everybody could
say exactly what they thought and
there were no long waits for an an
swer." "If we had had telephone facilities
in 1914 as we have now." one states
man said recently discussing this epi
sode, "the European war could have
been averted."
Secretary of State Marsh said his
attention had been called to the
statutes and decisions of the sup
reme court In a referendum case con
cerning certain requirements of the
i nv In the matter of referendum peti
tions. He has under consideration
and investigation a petition of 65,
000 names asking that S. F. 33, reg
u'ating buses and trucks, be referred
to a vote of the electors at the gen
eral election next year. The law, he
bays, requires circulators of such
petitions to be eighteen years of age
and signers to be legal voters, also
circulators shall not circulate a peti
tion outside the county of his resi
dence without filing a $5,000 bond
with the secretary of state. No. BUCfa
bonds have been tiled with hiin. said
Secretary Marsh, yet he heard ru
mors that Circulators nail gone into
more than one county and had even
delegated the work of getting sig
natures to others and to persons un
der eighteen years of age, and the
circulator had certified that the sig
natures were signed in his presence.
"I have no funds to investigate
these matters." said Secretary Marsh,
"but must mainly rely upon the peti
tion for what it appears to be on its
face in arriving at a decision as to
Its sufficiency under the law." He i
said he had not arrived at a decision.
The association of truckers who filed
the petition have advised truck oper
ators to disregard the law. alleging
'hat the petition is sufficient and
that 11 suspends the law until the
next general election in 1932 when
it will be submitted to a vote of the
elector for ratification or rejection.
Washington The income tax laws
"are still on the statute books" and
there are no exceptions to "master
minds," David Burnet, commissioner
of internal revenue, said in hurling a
defy to gangsters thruout the coun
try. It was the bureau's intelligence
section, under Elmer Iry, its chief,
that ferreted out the hidden incomes
of Al Capone and other Chicago
gangsters, sending some to jail while
Capone awaits trial charged with
evasion of income tax laws.
"In the eyes of the federal gov
ernment a gangster is merely a per
son and not a personage," he said.
"Recently indictments have been se
cured against a number of men whose
names have figured prominently in
the press as opponents of constituted
authority. Some are in the peniten
tiary, others are "aspiring to the
vacant throne."

GIRL FILES SLANDER SUIT
Omaha An asthmatic automobile
of ancient design figured in a $10,
000 slander suit filed by Miss "Vir
ginia Hernboom, who asks that
amount because, she asserts, her next
door neighbors sought to alienate
'he affections of her sweetheart.
The sweetheart is Paul Havens, jr.,
son of the vice president of an in
surance company here. The defend
ants are Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Hale.
Incensed, so Miss Hernboom said,
because of the chug-chugging of
young Haven's automobile sometimes
In the early hours of the morning
when he was returning her from so
cial events, the Hale's went to Hav
en's parents and told them stories
about her which were untrue.
As an opshoi of their tale bear
ing. .Miss tfernboom's petition as
nerts, Pater Haven ordered Hie son
cither to refrain from keeping com
pany with her or to find some other
abode. He chose the latter course,
according to the petition, and is still
ihe devoted lover of Miss Hernboom.
About the worst charge listed by
'iss Hernboom aft having been made
against her was that she reads true
confessions magazines.
The Hales, however, according to
the petition, said worse things about
Mrs. Hernboom. whom they accused
of tryisg to "frame" young Havens
BO that the family would have the
advantage of the Havens' family
wealth and social position.
