Wurth sales were up 39 per cent as compared, with

even the record-breaking sales during the holiday

War or no war, the Federal Trade Commission goes
on protecting the consuming ixiblic from the unscrup-
ulous, just as FTC has done since it was tlret created
in 1914. Borne of its recent charges, "cease and de-
rist" orders and consent decrees, which don't get the
publicity they deserve, would surprise you:
A New York publishing tiouse agreed to quit ad-
vertising a volume us the equal of a complete, four-
year high school education
A New York mall order house was charged with
misrepresentation In offers of new silk dresses for 10
cents It developed that the merchandise was sec-
ond-hand and only part rayon.
A Chicago "Secret Service System" represented
that its detective school was the equal to years of
actual experience and qualified its students as com-
petent detectives.
Prize of recent FTC Investigations, however, was the
' case of a New York greeting card dispenser who fast-
ened pieces of ordinary limestone on cards and sold
them as "a piece of guaranteed genuine stone from
the original Blarney Castle in Dublin. Ireland.”

"Dear Joe. or Pete, or Pal—I've been flat on my
back lor six weeks with a serious sinus ailment and
as a result I've run up quite a bill. It has taken every j to prevent inflation, or at best to
cent I have but ii believe I could pull myself even'
with the woild again if you would advance me 820 for
a couple of weeks. I cant leave until this bill is paid,
but I'll have some money of my own by the 20th of
the month, and I’ll shoot it back to you before you
have time to miss it.”
In effect, that was Joe’s note to 35 or 40 differ-
ent people Of this number a surprising quota sent
Joe the 920. He collected, with inflnte satisfaction,
about 8260 in this manner, paid a minor hotel bill,
moved on to brighter scenes, and enjoyed himself
until this dough ran out..
• • • __ __
Of course, when the 20th of the month came
around Joe didn’t come into that money of his own.
There wasn't any money for him to come into. He was
only kidding about that. He had to say something,
didn't he?
Well, this has happened before, and it will hap-
pen again. I imagine in hta secret heart Joe thinks some
day he will repay all those twenties. I Imagine for a
time at least, he really believes he deserved those
twenties, and I think it never occur* to him that he

circumstances, would be glad to be hl* friends.
Why hasn't somebody poked Joe on the nose?
I don't know. Except this. He is one of those guys
who don't poke. There’s something about him It
would seem a crime .to poke Joe. He's ho midget.
He would defend himself, I have no doubt It is
rimplM hto gift that he doesn't inspire anger in those
whose tolerance he abuses. You know the type There

"‘like danger of inflation that

there was little time lor us to

PAN-AME2UCAN SOLIDARITY
Rkr the find time in world history, all of the na
-toons of the weetem hemisphere are united in a com-
mon cauee under the leadership of the United States
of North America The conference at Rio de Janeiro
even may have more far-reaching significance to the
future of the U. 8 and Latin-American nations than
— the ■wr UsoU.
The agreement reached between the nations of the
that will strengthen this hemisphere against outside
military and economic pressure depends upon the
wisdom and statesmanship' of the leaders of these
countries Only the bitter opposition to foreign dic-
tatorship which threatened the safety of relatively
weak nations and the realisation of what happens
to small countries that try to stay at peace and pur-
sue a policy of tooiation have farced all these nations
to band together to combat the threat from the Axle
powers When Un.s threa ih eliminated the real test
of American solidarity will come. Careful, thorough
— planning now may preserve this solidarity for the
trouble-filled years that seem to be ahead, so that
the American nations can exert a powerful influence
toward stabilising world conditions

“ The geese liked to Dy and the children particularly
enjoyed watching the aerial maneuvers All went
