Samuel Insull and other big employ-
ers, following the example of Julius
Kosenwald, supply money to protect
employees from losses in stock specu-
lation.
Henry Ford wouldn't agree with that
idea. Two years ago when this writer
mentioned certain stocks in which
there were bound to be heavy losses.
Ford said: "Of course. But that's tho
only way people can learn."
Whether it is wise not to let na-
ture take its course in gambling as Id
other thiugs, is questionable.

That will be changed a good deal
later than February 1, 1930.
Mincola's High School football
team lu..: thus far made a wonder- ;
f-.:'. record this year, and ALL i
Mineola is behind the team, and
rightly so. However, let's put on
a little more steam, and help the
TDovs to make victory more certain.
In Mineola Armistice Day. it
wasn't the largest crowd the town
had enjoyed on similar occasions,
but take it from this writer, who
traveled through a number of larg-
er towns on that day, there was a
jsiuch larger crowd in Mineola than
was seen at any point for a dis-
tance of three hundred miles to
£he west, population considered.
From Pocaniico Hilts, where John
D. Iloekefeller is enjoying life at (be
age of ninety, came a statement that
to the distressed was like a drink
of cool water in the middle of Sahara:
"My son and 1 have, for some days,
been purchasing sound common stock.
We are continuing, and will continue,
our purchases in substantial amounts
at levels which we believe represents
sound investment values."
Mr. Rockefeller, who has given
away $750,00>.i>00 to science, education
and fighting disease, rarely makes any
public utterance. His statement about
the purchase of stocks by himself aud
his son is his first public statement oa
business since 1911. It will do more
than anything else could have done to
restore confidence.

Mineola. The job was done in a;
big way by big men.
Doctor Greet teaches English to
;ir!s at Ftarnard college, and proves,
with the phonograph, that there are
200 American dialects between tiie two
oceans, the Great Lakes and the Gulf.
At least, all Americans understand
each other.
It is not so in France, where a
peasant, from Brittany cannot under-
stand another from the Mfdi.
The number of American dialects
reminds you of a beautiful poem about
the soldiers each remembering a dif-
ferent name, but "Ail Saug Annie
Laurie."
Americans may speak 200 dialects,
but they all understand each other
when they talk about the dollar, which
is a sort of national ' Annie Laurie."

And it isn't necessary. There are
