Great American Myths.
st:ilmnta rtf fnafflr CiAr a n tli --
isteitce and extent of profiteering have been 'de
nounced as "outrageous" by the head of a Penn
sylvania corporation. Eventually the public
may come to believe that such a thing as prof
iteering never existed. No one has ever ad
mitted being a profiteer, and if ever anyone
was sent to prison as the result of the reports
of the various committees and commissions, it
nas failed to be generally noted.
If, then, we are to accept the visible evidence'
and heed the pious protestations of every man
,' and group that is hctd up to suspicion, we may
some day install " the myth that profiteering
never existed with all those other articles of
the credo that is gradually being built tip for us.
Companion beliefs no more ridiculous that this
find an astonishing number of adherents. Con
sider these:
That there is a painless way to raise $4,000, y
1)00,000 in taxes,' x-
That America can be prosperous and allow
the rest of the world to stew in its own juice.
That foreigners ought 'to understand that
however big our navy and army it will never
be used like all other armed forces have been.
vThat if the movies are censored the crime
wave will subside.
That if hip pockets are abolished, liquor
drinking will end.
That charity is more praiseworthy than
justice.
That the way to assure prosperity is, (a) to
spend every nickel; (b) to save every nickel.
That spending money for useless things gives
some one a job and hence makes the nation
wealthy. ' '
That farmers wear whiskers and have their
mattress stuffed with $100 bills. s
That more people suffer5 from eating too
much than too little.
That petitions and resolutions (a) exert a
great influence on .public men; (b) are under-
stood and endorsed by every one who does not
object.
That worship of1 the god of competition is
not an open invitation to avarice and greed, but
the assurance of low prices and efficiency.
. That one nun's loss is another man's gain,
and vice versa. . ' . .
Not every one, of course, pins his faith to
the entire mythology, and one can always be
sure of an argument whether he upholds or at
tacks any of them. But whenever one of these
grand old principles fails to work out as we had
expected, the demand goes up for a govern
ment commission to investigate, which, be it
said is another article of th? popular creed. t
Squeezing Jhe Mere Millionaire.
It 'seems probable that a good' many war
made millionaires are now back where they
started, for a great deal of paper profit has gone
up in smoke like the mortgage of a prosperous
church. One explanation is that a fight is on
between the millionaires or newly rich class,
and the billionaires, or men who have been
piling up their fortunes for decades. According
to this account, Jhe small fry was allowed to
speculate in sugar- and to carry on' various
profitable undertakings until the time came when
the more expert financial groups decided to send
the house of cards-tumbling and take the profits
for themselves.
Something of this, kind appears to be afoot
in t automobile irfdustry.-. This business was
too attractive to be left to men who were merely
Skilled in production and paid scant attention to
high financt. '
Thus, amid all the other changes in control,
are heard rumors that Henry Ford is seeking
a loan, of $75,QOO,000 in New York. Accord-'ng
to other reports, it is the loan that is seeking
him, and the men offering it attach the condition
that one of their own number be placed at the
head of the financial end of the business Imjlt
up-by Mr. Ford. Tjiis means, among other
things, that stock in the Ford enterprises event- (
ually would be bought and sold irt VVall street,
and judging by past performances, it would not
s- lead to lower automobile prices, butiigher.
Germany's Enormous Load.
The supreme council of the League of Na
tions has approved the report of its committee,
fixing the indemnity to be paid by Germany on
account of the war at 226,000,000,000 gold marks,
equivalent in' round numbers to. a little more
than $56,000,000,000. . To get an idea of what
this means, consider that the United States is
supposed to be staggering under a war debt
that amounts to only $25,000,000,000; then con
sider further that we are not required to pay
that debt within a specified time, while, the
Germans are told that they must make pay
ment of the fine imposed on them in -forty-two-years.
This contemplates an, average payment
over the period of one and one-third billions of
dollars annually. It is so graded that ior the
first two years of the period only,, $300,000,000
annually is exacted, but after that the payments
increase until for the final thirty-one years the
rate will be $1,500,000,000 annually.
- When the .German funded debt, estimated
for 1920 to be $57200,000,000. and this without
reference to the debt of the German states, now
act a '' $8,300,000,000, is considered, Vc
find the German people confronted with a com
bined debt on account of the war of $121,500,
000,000. The total wealth of Germany for l20
is estimated at $83,000,000,000, or $38,500,000,000
less than the aggregate war debt.
Economists will recognize at once the pre
dicament of the Germans; it is conceivable that
they will be able to create wealth in sufficient
amount to discharge the obligation imposed by
the supreme council, but the payment will be
made at the expense of deferring the debt owed
themselves until the reparation demands are fin
ally satisfied. The prewar imperial revenue of
Germany was under a billion dollars ; the de
cision of the supreme council therefore means
that for indemnity alone the Germans must pay
half as much again as they did for the support
of their government with its army and navy
prior to 1914. Those who count the cost of
war in dollars and cents alone may find ample
material for discussion iri these figures.

Butter and Its Makers;
Attorney General Palmer's ruling' with refer
ence to creamery butter is merely a revival of
a "blue law,." passed long ago, never enforced,
and so far forgotten. To Xcbraskans it rectlls
the fact that Senator A. S. Paddock from this
state was. active during the later HOs in putting
on the statute book certain measures to regulate
food products. About that time a considerable
effort was being made to relieve the dairy in
dustry front the approaching menace of oleo
margarine. Just why the statute of 1887 has not
been overhauled as have a number of others,
and particularly that dealing directly with the
tax on eleo, is not clear, but the surprising truth
seems to be that it was not. That is the best
possible reason for thinking it should not be
revived at this late day and used to strike down
a great industry.
The real test of the butter question will be
whether the product is wholesome. If the pro
duct of the Omaha creameries is proper foot,
and that it is has not been questioned, then an
order to enforce against it an obsolete law is
unreasonable. No claim is made that the1 im
provement, of processes in the manufacture of
putter has been detrimental to the food value,
the appearance or the flavor of the butter. To
require that a product that is manufactured in
strict conformity to the lay's of science and
health, into which no deleterious substance en
ters, and which meets otherwise every test pro
vided for wholesome food; should be subjected
to an onerous tax and to be practically excluded
from the market by being labeled "adulterated,'!
merely because limewater has been added to the
cream to neutralize fermentation, is 'preposter
ous. ' ' '
Why should the butter made in Omaha be
required to wear the scarlet "A" and. not that
made elsewhere, from cream as sour?
The affair reminds us of the hullabaloo
raised a few years ago over the bleaching of
flour, when the food administration sought to
break down the milling industry in Nebraska
by the enforcement of a rule .that was proved
to' be ridiculous. Should the present practice
with regard to the' manufacture of butter be
the source ofa menace to public health, then
the commissioner, sL internal revenue will be jus
tified in moving against the industry. However,
Omaha creameries have sent hundreds of millions
of pounds cf butter to the dining tables of the
world, and as yet no complaint as to its qualjry
has been heard.
A law passed in 1887, when the dairy indus
try was in a nebulous state in the United States,
may not be the wisest guide for acfion now.
Perhaps the matter can be cleared up by a sim
ple repealing act. At any rate, a great food
producing industry, whose output is otherwise
unchallenged, should not ''be destroyed because
lime water is used with the sour cream.
Retaking Elevator Jjltiquette.
It may Jiave started when the "git Is took the
throttle of the ' elevators, for they assured in
quirers that the old custom was unnecessary,
but, at. all events, few men now doff their hats
when , women are aboard. This remnant ot
chivalrous behavior will now completely disap
pear if -the Building Owners and Managers
association of Cincinnati succeed in spreading
their campaign around the country.
The habit, while well intended, is a source
of discomfort in the crowded elevators of tall
buildings, it is declared. Women who have
been poked in the ribs by the elbows of gentle
men endeavoring to reach their top pieces do
not consider the total result worth .the effort.
Instances of eye glasses being knocked -off,
derbies crushed, and arguments over this and
the crowding in general, are cited" as giving
adequate reason for. the emancipation of man
from this rather picturesque, but meaningless
gesture. ' ' .
THE sleeping sickness (not the African var
iety) is more mysterious than the flu. It will be
remembered that two things were discovered
about the flu: first, that it was caused by a Cer
tain bacillus, and. second, that it w as not caused
by that bacillus. But all that is known about the
sleeping sickness is that it attacks, by prefer
ence, carpenters and plumbers. (

A Story Thit Grows on You.
(From the Vermont Phoenix.)
Mrs. H. Wallace Adams of South Xewfane
recently had a narrow escape froniserioun
results of "poisoning. For weeksshe has
suffered intensely from neuritis. One day
last week Bhe went to the shelf and took
down a bottle for a dose of medjeine. No
sooner had she swallowed the teasp'oonful of -Squid
than the burning sensation and strong
acid flavor told her she had made a mistake.
Looking at the bottle she read, to her consternation,-
"Alurlatic Aeid." She called to
her husband and told him. what she had
done. Sweet 'milk was the first remedy
taken and Mr. Adams ran to a neighbor's
for advice. Upon returning he got the
whitesvof eggs of which she drank a cup
ful. No further trouble has been caused by
'the mistake, but Mrs. Adams has no inten
tion of repeating the dose. The neuritis
pain left for a few days, but has since re
turned. The .white of eggs which Mrs.
Adama drank wert whole .eggs, of a small
size, without yolks. They' were laid by a
good-sized pullet which never has laid any
other sort of an egg. Mf. Adams had re-
solved to" kill the pullet, but after this ex
perience he shall keep her indefinitely.
Such a hen, too. Is a treasure when white
cakes and f rostlngs are wanted. , x

and that factor might be a matter
of inheritance, but insisted that It
did not have to do with the first
cause. A man who . was becoming
bald as the result of neglect might
have the shape and location of his
bald spot determined by inheritance
or by pressure . from a hat or by
other factors.
Being bald myself, I have hesitat
ed about posing as a Solomon, not
to mention the gibes to which "my
friends subject me whenever I issue
a preachment on the subject. I'asked
Dr. Dyer to write me, something on
the cause and prevention of bald
ness. My letter was received on the
day of hjs death. His secretary sent
me two articles on the subject from
which I quote. There was no one
in this country who knew the sub
ject better than did Dr. Dyer.
HeSield that most baldness was
due to conditions contracted iti bar
ber shops. ' He suggested that barber
shops cany out the foHowlng sim
ple rulos and advertise the fact that
they do so :
"This barber shop uses no bru?ies.
All instruments are sterilized before
being usrd on each customer. Per
sons with diseases of the skin or
face or scalp are not served here.
Barbers with a skin or venereal dis
eas are not employed here.". . -
The prevention of ordinary pre
senile baldness is a matter of scalp
hygiene. The hair should be brushed
frequently and well and the scalp
should baovashed often enOught to
keep it clean. There is no objection
to usimr some grease on the hair,
especially if it is too dry. v
Some cases of greasy scalp are
benefited by washing the hair and
then greasing it lightly. The cause
of thisiform of baldness is dand
ruff, anf , though there are people
who have dandruff for years before
the hair thins greatly, nevertheless
dandruff is the great promoter of
baldness. - ,
