Today About Early Success. 1,000,000 Feet From $3. Remedies That Cure. Ford and Muscle Shoals. By ARTHUR BRISBANE B. C. Diekman, only 28 years Did, is elected president of the Ridgefield Park Trust company, Hnd all New Jersey wonders at this youngest bank president. But he is not so very young. William Pitt was chancellor of the exchequer at 22, and prime min ister of England at 23. When Bonaparte was 28 he had con quered Austria, and forced upon it the humiliating treaty of Cam po Formio. When Alexander was 16 he ruled Macedonia in his fath er’s place, the latter away to at tack Byzantium. Alexander was king before he was 20 and ruled all Greece soon after. At 22 he had crossed the Granicus, invading Persia with only 35,000 men. At 23 he overthrew Darius, with 600, 000 men. He was ruler of the world in his early 20s,"and dead before he was 33. There was a real record. Rich fathers should look up Alexander’s education. He was teught at home, by Aristotle, whom Philip brought from Athens. He did not send Alexander to Athens, to be conquered by Athenian aris tocracy. He intended that his son should conquer others, not be con quered, and so it happened. Bucket shop sea ulals, govern ment statistics concerning get rieh-quick schemers, and the fact that tens of millions are taken from foolish victims every year, should teach the public something. But probably only experience will teach, as usual. John Hays Hammond, who knows about investments, mines, oil wells, etc., tells this story: In old California days, Tom per suaded his friend, Jeff, to “stake h prospect” to the extent of $25(1. “I give you rny word, Jeff,” said Tom, “that I am within three feet of $1,000,000.” A little later Jeff, seeing Tom come out of a saloon, asked: “How is our mint coming on?” Said Tom: “Jeff, I’ll be frank with you. I told you I was within three feet of $1,000, 000. I've looked into it more losely, and now T don’t believe I’m within 1,000,000 feet of $3.” When you invest money with people you don’t know, in enter prises that you don’t understand, you also are not within 1,000,000 feet of $3, except your own $3. Two young doctors discovered insulin, the remedy that actually saves men at the edge of the grave, from diabetes. Millions of lives will be saved by that discov ery, and as a byproduct, insulin will add to the dividends of the big packing houses. Five hundred thousand dollars a year is the packers’ profit now on insulin coming from the pan creas of slaughtered hogs, and the amount will greatly increase. Slertvly science adds to the num ber of cures that are certain. Malaria yields to quinine, always. Preparations of arsenic destroy the germs of other diseases, ex tracts of various glands make new human beings of defectives, anti toxins cure diphtheria, hydropho bia and prevent typhoid and small pox. The conquests of science are far above those of all the military killers. And science will savo 1,000,000 lives eventually for every- one that war has destroyed. Various concerns offer to rent Muscle Shoals, suggesting, in a feeble, doubtful way, that they will “make fertilizer.” The farm ers of the United States have Henry Ford’s positive promise that he will produce cheap fertilizer at Muscle Shoals. The farmers and others want Henry Ford to make good on that proposal, and he -hould have the opportunity. No organization in the United States compares with Ford’s in his line of work, industrial production. The value of his stock is now placed by Wall street at $840,000, 000—perhaps a quarter of its real value. His resources are almost unlimited. Just now he is begin ning one plant to cost $110,000, 000. Ford shows you, in the state of New York, one of his new plants, an industrial building, 1,200 feet long, with not a smokestack on it, everything done by the power of water changed into electricity. Give Ford the chance at Muscle Shoals and he will do everything possible to keep his pledge to give the farmers cheap fertilizers. He will do what is infinitely more im portant, showing the people of the United States how the waterpower of this country should be used for I he people’s benefit. Nothing would please the peo ple and strengthen Mr. Cool idge’s candidacy more than the flat announcement that Henry Ford, who undoubtedly has the power, will also have the oppor tunity to make good his promises in connection with Muscle Shoals.

Matters Barred From Omaha Court Attorney, Convicted on Feder al Charge, Denied Right to Practice hy Judge Wakeley, Thomas H. Matters, attorney and capitalist, was refused the right to practice before District Judge Wake ley Monday morning when he ap pea red in Wakeley a court room with a client. "I'll hear no case in which you are attorney, and 1 will not allow you to practice in this court room." said Judge Wakeley. addressing Matters. "Nor will I listen to any case you are interested In. I will grant a continuance of this case to enable you to appeal the matter to the pre siding judge, or to permit your client to get another attorney." Matters stood silently before the judge for a moment, as if stunned by this announcement. Then his head bowed, and there were tears in his eyes as he said: Won’t Appeal. "I don’t want to appeal your de cision to the presiding Judge. I don’t want to practice any place where I'm not wanted.” Tears streamed down Matters’ cheeks and in a shaking voice he in quired why he was barred from prac ticing before Judge Wakeley. "In view of your conviction and sentence In federal court I do not consider you have the right to prac tice law before me," responded Judge Wakeley. In response to this Matters, who once served a brief period In the federal prison and who later was pardoned by the late President Hard ing, argued that his latest sentence has been set aside hy a supersedeas bond. "Well, Anyway—” "Perhaps so, but I don’t want you to practice in this court." replied the judge. Matters then pleaded with the 1udge In a low tone, declaring that his bad luck of the last few years was unavoidable and that his suf ferings were untold. •'I thought that our old friendship would make such a scene as this Im possible,’’ he said. “I thought you would tell me if such a thing as this was to happen.” But the judge was unyielding. Mat ters reached for the docket contain ing the case he had Intended to try, crossed his name off It and walked slowly from the courtroom. Suit for Damages. The case was a suit for damages on contract brought by Charles A. Eliassen against Joseph Kettnacker. Matters represented Kettnacker. Leo Beveridge took the case. Matters was convicted several years ago of violating the national banking law and in a second and more recent trial was convicted of using the mails to defraud. . ——.

The announcement is made at the conclu sion of four years of experimental develop ment. During this period Pierce-Arrow’ engineers built, studied and tested every type of four-wheel brake mechanism. The type finally adopted is based upon a principle used with conspicuous success for thirteen years by a prominent European auto mobile manufacturer. • Pierce-Arrow has taken this principle, developed it, and engineered the perfected design into the Pierce-Arrow car. Pierce-Arrow Four-Wheel Safety Brakes act on all four wheels equally at all times — on the straightaway or in turning. They add so much to the safety and enjoy ment of driving that any attempt to describe it would be utterly inadequate.
