Today Musrlf Won't Save You. Huy (rood Land. Huild a (rood ^nme. hiding n U onion. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. '-—_/ \ ot may be as strong as John 1 Hlllivan, Jack Dempsey and Will', the colored man, rolled into one, but your inside machinery is no stronger than that of the average men, and it may be weaker. Physical strength won’t save you from the effects of foolish eating. Babe Ruth, ill, disregarding his doctor's warnings, ate a good many fried potatoes for breakfast. Later in was unconscious for 90 min utes and was carried through the window of his railroad car on a st retcher. ^ nu have only one stomach, one heart. Uon’t abuse them. If you buy good real estate and keep it it will keep you. The origi nal old Astor bought a piece of land on New York’s Broadway for *25,000. Messrs. Zukor and Lasky of the Famous Players corporation bought it for $7,000,000 and will build on it a theater and office building costing $7,000,000 more, at Broadway, Forty- third and For ty-fourth streets. llow much the Astor family has got out of that real estate while holding it is not known. For the light to put electric signs on the roof advertisers paid $150,000 a year. Buy good land and keep it. Zukor and Laskv, before they die. will make more out of that piece of ^(l^'operly, 10 times more than the W Astors have made out of it in the last 100 years. Zukor and Lasky improve property to the limit. The Astors never did that. They just waited for more hahies to be born and make their land more valua ble. What is the value of a good name? Financiers that bought the Dodge Automobile company from the heirs of the two able brothers that established it have resold the company to the public (keeping a lot of stock for themselves) at a valuation in which the name Dodge represents $80,000,000. The pub lic eagerly purchased the stock and bonds at that valuation. Similarly, when Hart, Schaffner & Marx made a company of their business, the name which they had established, by business ability and sound advertising, sold for five times as much as the actual assets. And that name was probably worth 20 times as much as the assets. Build up a name by honesty, In telligence, wise advertising and you have something that fire, earth quake or tornado cannot destroy. The governor of Georgia is asked to commute the sentence of Mrs. Ida Hughes from hanging to life imprisonment. The woman mur dered her mother-in-law in a fit of passion, and “because she is a wo man’’ the prison commission thinks she ought not to be hanged. k^ff^Vou may add that no common ^ wealth, calling itself civilized, would disgrace itself by choking a woman to death. The remarkable thing is that any man can be per suaded, for pay, to do a job of that kind. How can he doubt, if there is a hell, that he will not go to it? The government worries about the treaty between Japan and Rus sia, suggesting it may mean a "clos ing of the open door,” preventing trading by Americans in the east. Why didn’t our highly intelligent government think of all that be fore? When other nations were arrang ing to trade with Europe, our'gov ernment was worrying about some infantile American financiers that bought the worthless bonds of the czar's government, when Ringling and Barnum’s Aztec “Zip” might have realized their worthlessness.

England also would like to limit the use of flying machines, because that is a danger to shipping. France is in favor of the flying machine because she has 4,000 fighting airplanes. This country, ignoring others, should proceed to build submarines and flying machines, saying to other nations: “Don’t get nervous, I shall leave you alone as long as you leave me alone. But if you don't leave me alone, look out." There is common sense in Cali fornia, as well as sunshine and prosperity. The lower houxe passes a bill making it a felony to sell food or liquor containing wood alcohol. If anybody sells wood alcohol and the consumer dies, the seller is guilty of murder. That is a good law. But what about the kind of alcohol that doesn't kill you right away, but does kill you in the end, if your bootlegger sells you and you drink enough of it? Why not make that murder in the second degree?

Some of the runs were less than a mile In length. One went up to nine miles.

The California slate legislature and various othsr bodies hare acted In the worst possl hie taste and in the most offensive manner to Japan.

It gives me a feeling of disgust in aee them challenge Japa nese hostility and Justify hy their actions any feeling the Japanese might have against us, while at the same time refusing to take steps to defend themselves against the formid able foe whom they are ready with • urh rarelese Insolence to antagonize.

Trend trading K*’!»lricted. By Tli* Ai-ntrittlril Press. New York, April 12. Bond price* last week made irregular recovery in response to easier money conditions but the improvement was not suffi ciently marked to indicate a defin ite upward trend. Trading was re stricted by the holiday interruption. Indications of a vast reserve buy ing power were supplied by the re markable response to the $160,000,000 financial operation for the new Dodge Brothers Automobile company. Both stock and bond issues were heavily oversubscribed and a wide public dis tribution of the securities was report ed. In floating a $75,000,000 bond Is sue on a Saturday, sandwiched in between two holidays, bankers ac complished a difficult feat which had never before been attempted in Wall street. The Dodge financing swelled the total of the week's bond offerings to more than $106,000,000 com pared with approximately $100,000,000 for the preceding week. In addition, in vestment funds were attracted to the $85,000,00t) offering of Dodge prefer ence stock. Other new financing was comparatively light, several issues be ing withheld in view' of the large mo tor company operation and the im pending Faster holidays. The most important piece of busl en*s was an $8,000,000 loan for the city of Oslo, Norway. Few significant price movements developed during the week's trading. Chicago Traction company bonds broke sharply following the defeat of the proposal to turn the ownership and operation of these lines over to the city. Western rail issues also de clined in sympathy with a slump in the stock of ihe«e carriers, based on current unfavorable earnings. Con spicuous strength was shown by sev eral obligations affected by special developments, notably Delaware & Hudson convertible 5*. What? Ruffles? ' Yes!

Meredith's Pre cautions. 1 followed Katherine out of the door with the feeling that there whs some thing underneath her summons to me, the purport of which he did not wish Lillian to guess. But it was several minutes before my intuition was jus tified. Her first words ns she closed the door behind us were a crisp di t ection. "Will you please get me two glasses of hot milk with a little salt in each and some crackers as quick ly as you (an?" lie requested. "I'll be in your room with that girl." She did not wait for my assent, but, turning, went quickly to my room, where lay the waif whom Lil lian had rescued from the train, wdiile 1 made my way to the kitchen, where Mrs. Ticer, more flushed and agitated than 1 ever had seen her, was towering over Jerry. Jle was crouched In a chair with his head, shielded l»v his arms, resting oti the table, and was making queer, gasp ing little sounds. For a second this alarmed me, but I quickly identified the sounds as the blubbering sobs of a boy, partly angrjf, partly contrite His mother turned as she saw me and came rapidly forward, dropping on the table as she passed a small but efficient looking leather strap. Her face was deeply apologetic, but there was the glint of righteous tri umph in her eyes as she greeted me. "Mis’ Graham," she said. "I am more ashamed than words can say that this limb of Satan should have played such a trick on you. But," grimly, "he'll not do anything like that again. I lathered him good just now* and I'm going to have his father sell 'Lady' the very first chance hr gets." A loud, raucous wail burst from •ferry at this threat. 1 knew that the big. lubberly hoy was strong enough, without any special exertion, to sub due the mother who had chastised him. With difficulty I repressed a smile at the combination of grown ups forbearance and childish weak ness which he was exhibiting. With the suppressed laugh vanished all the resentment against Jerry for the trick he had played upon me, and on Hie instant I constituted myself a special pleader for the weeping youth "FJlease, Mrs Ticer," 1 said earn estly, "do reconsider that last de cision. You already have given Ferry sufficient punishment for his thoughtlessness, and 1 am sure he never will offend that way again. But if you take away his horse you will break his heart." Another hurst of loud weeping from eJrr.v punctured my speech, but I was sure I detected a hopeful note m the sound and guessed that his mother did also, for *he tinned on him with exasperation in her face and eyes. "You. Jerry, get out of here." she said, "and wash your face. When you look d°cent you come back and beg Mis' Grahams pardon for what you done. 1 should think you'd be more ashamed than ever to have her ask me to let you keep J^ady.* Not that it’s going to do you any good." she added darkly, "but if I should change my mind it'll he because Mis' Graham asked me to do it." With a marked diminution of his weeping.

Ills mothei shut the door aftr! him, then turned to me with a distressed air. 1 paused in my quest for the things I needed to carry out I Katherine s request, and went over to I her swiftly. Her humiliation that her boy should have been guilty of s«» miserable a trick was written on her fa< e and lurked piteously in her eye.

Chicago Student in Novel Suicide Youth, 20, Ties Weights to Body, Shoots Himself Upon I'.tlge of Pier. Hr I nirental Strrle*. f’hfcago, April 12.—Tired nf life at 20 because of long ill health, Robert A. Preston, Northwestern university student, committed suicide today In a novel fashion. Fastening a brief rase, containing a small anvil and two iron weights about his waist, he sat on the edge of a pier in I,;c^e Michigan, shot him self in the right temple and toppled into the water. The air in the lungs, however, kept the body floating in spite of the weights and it was found at noon today. Preston, son of a well-to-do busi ness man in oak Park. Chicago su burb, had been under treatment for diabetes for more than three years. His father at first believed the boy bad been murdered, but agreed that it was suicide when shown the an vil which the boy had taken from home yesterday. Two diaries found in the frief case with th • weights, told the story of t l;e boy s constant fight against ill ness arai hi'* growing despondency. The last entry in the diary says: When yon get to the end of your rope, tie h knot and hang yourself.” And it was this advice, it seems, which he followed.

April 1 —Favorable de velopments it' the speculative mar lets during last week outweighed tlie* unfavorable, but fundamental condi tions of trade and industry failed to evidence any material change for the better.

Knglaml is having her own troubles. Large unemployment contributing to the uneasiness. Here in the United States even the most sanguine of our industrial lead ers admit there has been consider able recession in those lines which enjoyed a brief period of rapidly in creasing business following the elec lion. Judge Gary, of the United States Steel corporation, mad# this clear. The decline in the corpora ion 8 unfilled orders of over 420,000 ons in one month confirmed it. Building apparently has reached the peak, although construction con tinued heavy. Record loadings on the railroads reflect business which was initiated some weeks ago. Retail trade, generally, even considering the loliday, is not as good as antici pated. The sharp recovery in wheat and corn and the other grains was a jdeasing development. Wheat now is up over 20 cents a bushel from the low point. It was quite evident that speculative pressure had forced the price down below' a proper value. Stocks Improved slightly, on the av erage.
