Calvin "Rear Ribs."
The Diamond Trust.
Wall Street Doesn't Know.
Ford's Flat Mill.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE,
v__
The Indian* in North Dakota
make President Coolidge a member
of their tribe and confer upon him
the name of “Bear Ribs.” Jovith
Badger and Pius Shoots first wrote
the president a nice letter, telling
him', that his name, “Bear Ribs,”
was- that of a very wise Indian,
killed by his tribe because he ad
vised them to make pence with the
Americans, long ago. If old ‘‘Bear
Ribs” had kept out of peace confer
ences, and advisings, he’d have died
a natural death, Mr. President.
One of the tightest trusts in the
world is the big diamond trust,
managed by owners of South Afri
can diamond mines. Just now that
trust is bothered by overproduction
of diamonds. Last year the Ameri
can" trust sold about $37,000,000
worth of diamonds, against $27,
OOOjCOO in 1923. The market fears
disorganization.
A few years ago Thomas F. Ryan
of New York, who isn’t the easiest
man ta deal with in a financial fight,
bought African diamond mines. He
sends his diamonds out by flying
machine. It may be that he is wor
rying the diamond trust, as he once
bothered the tobacco trust here in
Ihe^LJnited States until it took him
to Ha bosom.

Herbert Hoover tolls his fellow
citiacns not to pay attention to the
Wall street slump, and not to be
lievS that it means anything se
rious as regards business prosper
ity generally.
If only means, says Mr. Hoover,
that Wall street is a poor baro
meter. That may comfort you, al
though it won’t comfort some of the
geese that gambled in the highly
speculative stocks and have gone
back to work to earn some more
money.
Cotton states will be interested
in the news that Russia is increas
ing cotton acreage this year by
300,000 acres.
More interesting to cotton grow
ers are experiments that Henry
Ford is making with flax. He be
lieves that flax can be produced
at a price lower than the price of
cotton, has planted more than 1,000
acres, and he showed this writer, in
his flax factory the other day, sam
ples of carded flax with a wonder
fully long staple.
Mr. Ford plans to use flax in
stead of cotton in the material used
for covering seats of Ford cars. He
believes that machinery, working at
low cost, will replace nearly all
hand labor that has made linen so
expensive. Any good soil will grow
flax, he says, and the boll weevil
doesn’t attack it.
However, cotton growers will
wait a while before abandoning
their favorite crop.
Donald MacMillan, Arctic ex
plorer. urget, President Coolidge to
raise the American flag over more
territory near the north pole. We
ought to get all the land we can up
there, if only for landing airplanes,
says he.
There is wealth up there under
the ground, if it ever serins worth
while to go after it. The Rocke
feller family, patiently plodding to
ward financial prosperity, has sent
oil prospectors up thpre. Struck
oil, and plenty of it, inside the Arc
tic circle, but they don’t mean to
get it out yet. It would cost fifty
millions to run in a pipe line.
In a few thousand years, as the
pole swings slowly around, pointing
to the different stars, which in turn
become our “North star,” the
climate up there will change and
the land might be very valuable.
Before then, however, nations
may cease to quarrel about land,
and what we call the United Stages
may be called by a different name.
A young Swedish lady with a fine
figure, who has come here to dance
for a living, says she drinks only
champagne. Champagne and noth
ing else “preserves a beautiful,
slender figure,” so that young wo
man sayr.
It may do that, hut plenty of
men and women with figures far
from slender may be seen drinking
plenty of champagne.
Whatever champagne may do for
the figure, it is death on the kidneys
— ■— - ' ' .... . — — . i .. ■ (m
and other parts of man's internal
machinery.
Any wine that bubbles is a wine
that hasn’t finished fermenting,
and any person that allows the
process of fermentation to be car
ried on inside himself is a foolish
person. Champagne is not a true
wine at all. The French, that make
it, sell it to English, Russians and
Americans. They drink their own
national, sound still wines.
The postmaster general punishes ,
six employes, reducing them to a
lower rank, because of their activ
ity in getting more money for post
office workers.
What about members of congress
that actually voted for their own
increase? The public doesn’t ob
ject to their having it, any more
than it objects to the pay of the
postoffice employes being raised.
But you can’t help noticing a cer
tain difference.
