| Today Cant Insure Genius. Typewriters and Cement. Mysterious Cancer. If a Man Bites a Dog. By ARTHUR BRISBANE Dr. Banting, discoverer of in , sulin, that controls diabetes, is in sured for $6,000,000. The Rocke feller Foundation, anxious to use and develop Dr. Banting’s genius," is said to have paid for the insur ance. That sounds improbable. Rockefellers, father and son, know that one thing money can’t buy, or make up for, is genius. Two great anniversaries ap proach. Fifty years ago on Sep tember 12, the typewriting ma chine began its career, saving time, increasing efficiency, and most important of all, introducing into business the good influence of hundreds of thousands of wo men. That anniversary will be celebrated at Ilion, N. Y., by Mr. B. I,. Winchell and others. Fifty years ago Americans be gan the manufacture of Portland cement, which is, to building, what the typewriter is to business. For the first 10 years this country made only 36,000 sacks of cement annually. Last year the country used 470,000,000 sacks, and Amer ican plants now possess a capacity of 600,000,000 sacks. Death from cancer is three times as numerous today as 60 years ago, and is increasing. What is worse, science knows nothing about cancer. It plants a cancer in the body of a mouse, sees tho cancer grow to be three times as big as the mouse on which it lives, and knows nothing about the dis ease or its cure. That'a the bad news front the doctors. The good news is tha^ women in this country are growing taller, and suffer less and less from a disease with a long name that means poverty of the blood, anemia, that has made »o many lives miserable and deaths pre mature. ‘‘A dog biting a man is not news. A men biting a dog is news.” Amo* Cumming’s said it. A wo man sticking to her son through poverty, miafortune, evil conduct is not news. But Mrs. Simiz shot her 19 year-old son, an idler and dishon est, "to save his soul.” That’s news. The Chicago police said they never heard of such a thing. Behold an interesting interna tional contest on the bounding deep. United States Leviathan races with British ship Majestic. Levia than wins and America slaps its chest proudly. Both ships are German, built by Germans. The Leviathan was the Vaterland and the Majestic was the Bismarck. That contest between England and America must amuse the Ger mans if they have time for being imused. It isn’t likely, however, that Germany feels like laughing at anything, just now. Its money fell absolutely into the subcellar yes terday—a million marks sold for 10 cents and the interest rate, at conservative German banks, is 21 per cent on yotlr balance. Over here, financially speaking, we are cheerful, storks up a little more, “bonds firm,” call money 5 1-4 per cent, time loans much cheaper, exports of manufactured articles increasing. “He hath not dealt so with any nation; and as for His judgments, they have not know them. Praise ye the Lord.” Louis Chalif tells the American Dancing Teachers’ society that body and brain are improved by dancing. Nature knew it long ago. The animals danced, lizards, dino saurs, jungle fowl, goats and mon keys, long before man came. What nature orders is wise. President Coolidge advises southern newspaper publishers to urge “unhesitating obedience to legislative action.” Sound advice, but while obeying the law, every citizen has the right to work for change if he doesn’t approve the law. Witch ducking and burning, torture of witnesses, human slavery, were nil once lawful. Op position, questioning, make better civilization, better laws. When England’s parliament forbade free publishing of books, Milton print ed his “Areopagitica” in defiance, and killed the stupid law. Some times resistance, is useful and nec essary. Of the “Areopagitica” Hallam said, “An intense love of liberty and truth glows through it.” That’s more important some times than unreasoning submis sion to unreasonable law. Learned lawyers of the Bar as sociation say the most important task is “to fight crime.” Well said. The fight should start in the. Bar association. The highly pric ed corporation lawyer of whom the late William Whitney said, “That man can tell me how to do whatever I like; other corporation lawyers only tell me what I can’t do,” represents a typs of respect able crime that needs checking.

Toward Europe Our Position Is ‘’One of In dependence, Not of Isola tion,” Secretary of State Says. By Cnlvowl 8wrlt«. Minneapolis, Aug. 30.—The Mon roe doctrine as a cherished national policy of the United States, ‘‘inimical to no just interest and deemed to bo vitally related to our own safety and to the peaceful progress of the peoples of this hemisphere,” was dis cussed here tonight by Secretary of State Hughes, in addressing the American Bar association. Mr. Hughes pointed out that the American people ‘‘are still Intent upon abstaining from participation In the political strife 6f Europe." The American attitude, he explained, is "one of independence, not of isola tion.” In this connection, Mr. Hughes said: "Our people are not disposed to commit this government in advance to the use. of its power in unknown contingencies, preferring to reserve freedom of action, in the confidence of our ability and readiness to re spond to every future call of duty. Ready for ('o-oporatton. ‘‘They have no desire to put their power in pledge, but they do not shirk co-opefation with other na tions whenever there is a sound basis for it and a consciousness of com munity interest and aim. </)-opera tion is not dictation, and it is not nartisanship,” Mr! Hughes reviewed the historical development of the Monroe doctrine from the birth of the nation. Then, he said, "there was a deep seated oenvlction that the opportunities of a hard won freedom would bo threat ened by the ambitions of European powers constantly Becking their own aggrandizement and that the peace ful aims of the new nation could be achieved only by keeping clear of the tolls of European politics and strife.” The words of Washington's fare well address, Mr. Hughes asserted, “were more than a solemn admoni tion of tho foremost American pa triot—they set forth principles which those who established our foreign policy held to be its cornerstone." Explains Monroo Doctrine. Tho secretary then took up the pro mulgation of the doctrine by Presi dent Monroe in his message to con gress just a century ago, and sketched its development in later years. Outlining "the doctrine as it has been and as It is believed to re main," Mr. Hughes emphasized the following points: First—The Monroe doctrine is not a policy of aggression, but a policy of self-defense. Second—As its policy is distinctive ly the policy of the United States, the American government reserves to it self its definition, interpretation and application. Third—The doctrine "does not In fringe upon the independence and sovereignty of other American states.” Fourth—Interventions in Haiti, Cuba and elsewhere were ‘‘not to ex ploit, but to aid, not to subvert, but to hdp in laying the foundations for found, stable and Independent gov ernment. Our Interest Ls in having prosperous, peaceful and law-abiding neighbors with whom we can co-op erate to mutual advantage.” Fifth—The Monroe doctrine "does not idand in the way of pau-Ameri Mothers No article of clothing for ; your children should be sc- j leeted with more care than their shoes.
