Biggest Day, Yet.
^ Cheerful Predictions.
Wanted a Firm “No."’
A Law for Savings.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE,
v _._/
Biggest day so far, in the stock
market yesterday, 2,400,000 shares
was the turnover. Wild buying in
the morning, eager selling that
pulled down prices in the after
noon.
As one buys somebody else sells,
and that should be remembered.
Many, apparently are willing to let
stocks go, and do not agree with
the idea that there is to be no top
to this market.
However, be careful how you
sell short. Some of the bears were
grunting sadly yesterday morning,
trying to buy back what they had
sold.
It is said that Durant, the auto
| mobile wizard, has gathered up sev
eral millions since the boom started.
The stock market interests even
>those that never buy, sell or gam
ble, for in its own wild way the
stock market is prosperity’s barom
eter.
It tells what capital, which
means business intelligence, thinks
of the immediate future.
Leonard P. Ayres of the Cleve
land Trust company, predicts for
1925 increasing, expanding busi
ness, and a prosperity boom “ap
proaching the speed limit.” He
foresees low interest rates, much
building and higher wages. All
pleasant predictions.
British financiers are worried
about our outlook, which is kind of
them. They fear inflation in this
country. But they need not worry,
with Mellon in charge of national
finance. He understands that job,
won’t permit inflation, and won’t
be scared into hurting business by
making money tight.
The British are cheered by one
thought. They believe they will
get from the Germans in repara
tions through the Dawes plan £30,
000,000 a year, just enough, each
year, to supply what they, the Brit
ish, must pay to the United States
on account of war debts.
The British ask the league of
nations to hold back on their world
conference provided for in the fa
mous protocol. It is hoped that
Uncle Sam will be persuaded, even
at this late date, to come in and
1 make himself generally useful.
Two things should make Coolidge
send a friendly, firm “no” to that.
First, the size of his vote,, which
was a vote aginst any mixing up
with European agreements.
Second, the sinking of the unfin
ished battleship Washington on
whch the people of this country
have spent $35,000,000. If we were
persuaded into such nonsense as
that at the Washington conference
heavens know what would be done
to us if they lure our half-baked
statesmen to a conference on the
other side of the water.
The Indiana supreme court up
holds a law compelling a man to
support his father and mother, if
they are poor, and he is able to
take care of them. Mr. Lundy al
lowed his father and mother to go
to the poorhouse, offering as ex
cuse the fact that he was buying
an automobile on the installment
plan and needed all his money. The
installments now will have to wait.
It is hard to' believe that any
man, not an idiot, should refuse to
care for his father and mother.
But, remember, how close we are, in
years, to the theory that people too
. old to care for themselves ought to
| be killed and eaten by younger peo
ple, including their own children.
Among savages still living the old
expect to be killed when they be
come useless, and if* you could find
Esquimaux far removed from the
influence of white men, you would
see them putting an old father
or mother in a little house made of
ice blocks, with a small amount of
food, then sealing up the entrance
to the house and leaving nature

At least the Indiana man let his

It is announced that the national
democratic party is to be “thor
oughly reorganized.” It needs it,
what there is left of it. When you
consider that Senator La Follette
ran ahead of Davis, who ran third,
in many of the northern states, you
realize that democracy needs some
kind of strong medicine.
The people are tired of a demo
cratic party that is kept on ice by
the financial interests, and trained
in “safe” ways, in case an accident
should bring it into power.
Many believe that A! Smith of
New York, who carried his state
by running a million ahead of his
ticket, will demand and get the next
democratic nomination. If he does,
it will be another kind of a fight,
and an interesting one.
The Rev, Dr. Sheatsley of Ohio,
whose wife was found burned in
the family furnace, now accents
the theory rejected by the police
that the unfortunate woman crawl
ed into the fire, shut the furnace
door behind her, while the flames
were raging, and burned herself to
ashes.
Her 14-year-old daughter says
her mother was much moved by
her husband’s sermon about heaven
on the preceding Sunday, and had
expressed a desire to go to heaven
and see it for herself, but to go by
way of the furnace seemed a
strange plan. And the situation is
complicated by the fact that a bot
tle of poison is missing.
You would have said that every
possible explanation of mysterious
death had been suggested already.
But this Ohio case is new. A
strange detail is that the woman’s
16-year-old son, seeing the body in
the furnace, but saying nothing for
two hours, because he “preferred
to have some one else discover it.”
President Coolidge warns con
gress and the people that the for
ests must be protected and a way
must be found “to bridge the fatal
gap between cut and growth.” This
nation, after wasting with fire and
ax, cutting down millions of mag
nificent trees to use the bark in
tanning and leaving the tree trunks
to rot, is nearing a timber famine.
The supply of timber left
amounts to 745,000,000,000 cubic
feet of lumber. The nation uses
25^000,000,000 cubic feet each
year, while the annual timber
growth is only 6,000,000,000 cubic
feet. It takes little arithmetic to
show what will happen.
If the forests are to be replaced,
as they are used, the work will have
to be done by national and Atate
authority. Private individuals have
neither money nor inclination to
provide for the future.

The 68th reunion of the Nebraska

ed Scottish Rite Free Masonry, valley
of Omaha, came to a cloae Thursday
night after a four-day session, at
which degrees from fourth to 32d, In
clusive, were conferred on a class of
125.
Among the 1,800 member* attend
ing the reunion were John Gilbert
Taylor of Minneapolis, Frank P. Zim

mouth and Charles p. Huntington of
Omaha. These four men are charter
members, and were presented with

The tiniest member of the Empress
players and perhaps the largest In
point of popularity la Olive Wlntner,
appearing In the musical play,
“Clouds and Sunshine.”
When she sings "You're My
Daddy" to Rudy Wlntner, who Is her
"daddy” In real life, there Is more

AT THE
THEATERS
Ruth Budd, a feature of this week's
Orpheum show, Is a disciple of the
modem doctrine, "Smile, smile,
smile." She smiles In her work and
she smiles In her play. If. as some
body has said, "A smile Is a ray of
sunshine," she has done more than
her share In dispersing clouds. Miss
Budd's smile has become so much a
part of her that she Is called "the giri
with the smile.” Furthermore, she
lias talent and versatility.
Making up a splendid vaudeville hill
at the World, starting tomorrow, is
the Lee Marshall Revue, In "Pep and
Syncopation;" Bernivlcl brothers and
company In "Moments Musical;"
Renee oNel and Walter C. Petclval
in "The Egg in the Bag;” Kraft and
Lamont, Kelley and Brown and
George Moore are the other attrac
tions.
"The Woman Hater," a modern
farce comedy, with musical trim
mings is what the Empress players
offer at that theater starting tomor
row. It deals with the love affairs
of a mere man who thinks he can
get along without the ladies. How
he is fooled makes a stage story that
is replete with funny situations. Ama
teurs are an added attraction this
evening, starting at 8:30.
Many times it Is not the born-and
bred offspring of a race that can see
the oddities of character acting and
the twist of words with a comical
effect. In this respect, however, what
ever truism there is to such an ob- j
servation is cast aside so far as Sal
vatore Zlto, who has a prominent part
in "Take a Look,” playing at the
Gayety this week, is concerned.
