Washington s Teeth. By ARTHUR BRISBANE __' Wheat in Chicago went above $1.50 yesterday. You wore ad vised in this column, if you needed wheat to buy it, some time ago, when it was selling at $1.18. This price of wheat will make a difference to Coolidge. Eugene Meyer, jr., head of the War Finance corporation, who un derstands money, tells Secretary Mellon that farmers will get $1, 000,000,000 cash for their wheat this year. They are rushing wheat to market at the high prices, and still the price goes higher. Corn is going up also, and cot ton gained “100 points” yesterday. Don’t sell this country short. The son of Prime Minister Mac Donald will try newspaper work for experience to make a living. It is a good business to start in, bad business to stay in. Ninety per cent of newspaper workers find that the older they grow the less there is in it. Long service and experience with journalists, as with Ziegfeld Follies girls, are a handicap. The reasons would take too much space. , In Canada, where they don't mince matters, they will hang six men on October 24 for killing one bank messenger. In Ohio Governor Donahey says “age is no extenuation, and Alex ander Kuzeik, ID years old, willl hang October 19. Hut even in old times, as you may learn in Westermarek’s fine history of the evolution of moral ideas, age made some difference. In the middle ages, not only men, hut animals, were tried for murder when they killed a human being and, if “guilty,” were ex ecuted. On a certain occasion a sow, with her litter of suckling pigs, had killed and eaten a young child. The sow mother and her < ffspring were tried in court. The sow was condemned to death, the little pigs >were spared, on the ground that “because of their ex treme youth they could not be held responsible.” > Some murderers have been hanged in the United States, with intelligence not far above that of the suckling pigs spared by mediae val justice. Among letters by George Wash ington, to be sold in London, one to his Philadelphia dentist, tells how much trouble Washington had with his false teeth. They were strung on wires and got loose. They looked about as natural, when he wore them, as a set of small golf balls, being cut out of solid ivory. Civilization does not realize what it owes to dentists and oculists, good false teeth and good specta cles. Think of the ancient Greeks, to whom false teeth and eye glasses were unknown. The marvel is that so many of them lived to be old. European statesmen say the league of nations “protocol” is the “most formidable obstacle to war ever de vised by the human mind.” That arrangement by the league will make war impossible. That being the case, of course, the league will now stop the war in China and war between Spaniards and Moors in Morocco. If Russia should attack Poland nr Roumania, just how would that “protocol” prevent war? It would he necessary to conscript English men and Frenchmen and send them to fight Russia. Any who think Englishmen or Frenchmen would go on that errand are misinformed. General Chang, energetic Chinese military gangster, hasn't been told about the “league ending all wars.’’ He puts a price of $200,000 Mexi can money upon the head of his enemy, Tsao Kun, and the same amount on the head of another enemy, Wu Pei-Fu. He offers $200,000, Mexican, for the capture of either of them alive. What he would do to them, if he got them alive, he doesn’t say, but it would probably be something unpleasant. Various religions that fight con stantly in India seek an agreement with Gandhi at the head of a peace committee. Moslems hate Hindus because they play music near Mo h*mmedan mosques. That's an in sult to the Koran. Hindus hate Mohammedans because they slaugh ter sacred cows and eat them. Other religionists are full of hate because certain citizens refuse to recognize the sanctity of holy monkeys. While that goes on the English smile, and a handful of white men rule 300,000,000 of Asiatics. (Copyright. 1824 - Hoe Want Ads produce results.
