'Today Sinking $35.01)0.1)00. v Stork Boom Still Boils. Higher Cotton, Good Netvs. I hr Brain G rotes. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. I _/ This government has paid $35, ©00.000 toward the building of a magnificent battleship to be named *‘The Washington.” Then came that arms conference Bt Washington where Europeans and Asiatics pulled the wool over ♦ he eyes of our innocent so-called “statesmen.” We agreed to stop building ships, because it wasn't \ convenient or possible for the other 1 ♦nations to build them. Not only that, but we agreed to \ destroy boats j^ready in existence, and among other things to sink, unfinished, the Washington and the $35,000,000 already spent on her. A suit has been brought as “citi- ( gen and taxpayer” by Mr. William V B. Sheerer to prevent the destruc-j f tion of this boat. There will be a hearing on Friday, and unless the j court forbids it, the great unfinish ed battleship will be sunk on Sat urday. How does that impress you, send ing to the bottom of the ocean $35,000,000 of the taxpayers’ money *to oblige Europeans and Asiatics who can’t afford to build chips, and therefore wheedle our willy officials into weakening this country. f In the fable of the fox with his ♦ail cut off, the other foxes laugh ed, and declined to oblige him by cutting their tails off too. But poor old Uncle Sam is per suaded tq sink or junk his best ships, and this in spite of the fact that European and Asiatic nations have not kept their agreement. On the contrary, nations that were represented at the Washington Conference are at this moment building new fast battle cruisers, many of them. The stock market boom still boils. More than 2,500,000 shares were sold yesterday, following a genes of 2,000,000-share days. If the general citizen shares the pros perity of the stock broker this will be a prosperous country. Call money, with which men I speculate, is cheap, only 2 per cent. Cotton was strong again yesterday, and that is important news to all the country. “Spot sales” on southern markets have gone up re cently from 35,000 to 50,000 bales a day. Heavy exports are expected this month and next. A good price for cotton means solid prosperity^ __ The Russian government alone plans to import this year 325,000 bales of American cotton, to say nothing of $200,000,000 of Amer . * icon machinery. If that continues the United States will probably decide to imitate France and England and recognize Russia after all. Money talks, even bolshevik money, when it's gold. __ More different kinds of stocks were purchased yesterday than were ever sold before in many a One stock, United States Steel, which ill the good old days of its babyhood was -piling around $10 a share, sold at $115. Five hundred and fifty different stocks all together were bought and sold. The human brain is capable of unlimited development and there is no such thing as overwork for a brain properly developed. Think ing with intense concentration makes the brain actually grow at any age. The latest proof is the increase of one-quarter of an inch in the size of Lloyd George’s head since 1903. A quarter of an inch makes a great difference when the space is tilled with the right kind of brain matter. . Also, thinking changes and in creases the size of the nose, de velops the chin. We are what our thoughts make us. fudge Soper of Baltimore de cides that the “one-half of one per a o' and a ineiiiliei of ihe MenmifiUc <■■■!■ a} which mine to ilealine in Ihe •urly Tom.
