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
<ent” clause in the Volstead act
doesn't apply to drinks made at
home for home use. If that de
cision stands, it will make a big
hole in prohibition. Incidentally,
it will mean more prosperity for
grave yards. Home-made bever
ages, as the doctors will testify,
are the undertaker’s best friends.
_ Fat men, and men with hobbies
“ that engross their thoughts, arc
rarely thieves, says the head of a
bonding company. And the mar
ried man is six times as safe, from
the point of view of stealing, as
the unmarried man. That says a
good deal for the influence of wives
and children.
Marriages, ns compared with di
vorces, are falling off in the United
States. The census bureau shows
1 hat in 1923 the number of di
vorces increased 12 per cent, thi
number of marriages only H per
cent more than the previous year.
I That isn’t good news.
Mr. Hungerford writes to this
column asking for a definition of
the great “social problem” of the
present day. The greatest problem
is to make a real sucres of the
average marriage.
The fault, of course, is with men.
It will take several centuries, prob
ably, to educate them up to the
only kind of life worth while.
