Today ft all Street Better Again. How Publicity Hurts. Used Cars for Europe. Bye — 500 Gallons an Hour. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Stock crept upward a little far ther today. Speculators are getting over the dreadful thoughts that paying a few hundreds of millions to soldiers may ruin the United States—a country that so easily found thousands of millions for patriot-grafters. Washington predicts that Mr. ( oolidge will sign the tax bill. That will cheer everybody in Wall street except the financial dozen that con sider it most un-American and dan gerous to let the people know how much income tax they have been paying- _. If income tax returns were made public it is clear that many pros perous gentlemen would be con siderably worried. Perhaps they are afraid to have the public know how generous and conscientious they are and how fully they pay their income tax. At all events, you know that they are worried and that they object to publicity when you find so many of them anxious *o see the proposed tax bill changed, sacrificing the great tax saving that it would give them, rather than have the publicity clause go through. When the automobile arrived, ^ v-id-fasiiioned carriages, victorias, ” broughams, etc., became worthless here, and a market was found for them in South America where they did not give up horses and carriages so easily. Lately the American problem has been *"how to get rid of second hand automobiles.” Europe, it seems, will help solve that problem. A company, formed to ship sec ond-hand cars to Europe, sends over bargains by the shipload. Money is not as plentiful there as it is here. The “used car,” at a whit tled down price, is attractive. Unloading of used cars abroad "ill be a good thing for Europe,! which needs economy, and a good I thing for the United States, where millions need “a bigger or better car.” Prohibition in America spells profit elsewhere, especially in Scot land and the British West Indies. The lord chief justice of the Bahamas,. Sir Sydney Nettleton, ar rives with the information that Bahaman citizens on Hog island in tend to supply the United States demand for rye whisky. Englishmen don't care for it, they like smoky Scotch. Neverthe less they have built on Hog island a distillery that will turn out 600 gallons of rye whisky an hour. They will sell it on English soil, and it will be the job of law abiding American bootleggers to put it within reach of whisky drinking Americans. The Royal Dutch Shell company of Amsterdam, powerful and effi cient, abandoned efforts to invade 'lie United State oil territory and sells its California oil fields to American interests. The Dutch Shell got $30,000,000 for its oil wells, probably didn’t lose anything and will invest the money in Rus sian oil fields. W hen you go against private oil concerns in the United States you come in contact with real competi tion. Our friends from Amster dam should have tried old Uncle Sam, that would have been easier. ' Getting oil away from him is like taking a stick of peppermint candy from a sick child. In 1923 fires cost the United States more than $500,000,000. Of this wasteful loss at least $350, 000,000 could have been prevented and saved by ordinary precautions. This is a wasteful country from every point of view. Rust need lessly wastes hundreds of millions a year. Carelessness of property owners, encouraged by reckless com petition among gigantically profit able fire insurance companies, costs the country other hundreds of millions. One of these days we shall not be so rich, perhaps, and shall have to economize. It will not be easy to learn. Most important news, to the greatest number of people, is the *•*description of President Coolidge sitting in an air tight chamber, breathing in chlorine gas and air mixed, to cure his cold. British doctors laugh at the “cure.” But that isn’t important. They also laughed at Jenner when he talked about preventing smallpox by vac cination. They wouldn’t laugh now at that idea. If the chlorine gas treatment does what it may reasonably be ex pected to do, there will he an in haling room in every school, big business building and hotel. The time saved by curing colds in a few hours would irake up for the loss caused by fire and rust.
