As it is, »e are patting out s few pills,
bat can’t get the money. If this health
movement glow*, we will simply keep the
pills and people will continue to keep their
money.” Dr. McCurdy was more reticent
in expressing his sentiments, however, he
gave out this statement: “If the movement
spreads. HI check it. We are in business
for your health.” The druggists thought
differently. Dan Powell is highly in fe-
rn of it, "My adhesive tape sale* have
tripled since the soft-handed boys started
this business. I’ve even got ’em to using
so many Blue Jays in the palms that I buy
» quantity lots, securing additional par-
chase discounts." McFatter (than Chas.
Hooper) also was enthusiastic. “Of course,
this won’t go any farther" he said, leaning
dose, “but Hollister has bought my entire
Le Gear stock of liniment. Says it’s the
only thing that makes his waist line sup-
ple. Greusd is secretly taking Nujol body
massages for s more pliable skin, and is

why I'm for it.” Conner, s member, stat-
ed than in ordinary times he would not
favor such a club, but like Applewhite, he
oould collect nothing. “It costs me nothing
either way,” was his enigmatic comment.

Safe Place For Money

■M
We like the plan, fathered by Col. Frank
Knox of the Chicago Daily News, for an is-
sue of “baby” Government bonds to be
offered to everybody in the effort to in-
duce people who are afraid of banks and
of other forms of investment to take their
money out of hiding and put it where it
will earn something and be useful.
These bonds, we understand, are to be
ie*ned in denominations as low as fifty
dollars, and will pay interest at about 3
If they are not safe, then noth-
is. For these bonds to become worth-
lam would meaa that the Government of the
United Sutra had collapsed, and there is
no fear of that even among the most timid.
We hope that some scheme will be worked
oat whereby they can be offered at
poet office.
We still think the best place to put mon-
ey is in a sound bank, but we can’t criti-
cise verey severely the people who say they
do not know how to tell whether a bank
is sound or not. We are hopeful that the
financial relief measures adopted at Wash
ington will put an end to bank failures,
but in the long run the whole banking
structure will have to be revised.
The great majority of the banks which
have failed in the past three years should
never have been permitted to start bnsi-
ness. Many of them, were established over
the protests of responsible financiers, whose
objection* were overridden by the political
pel! of bank organiser*. There shoeld be
no connection whatever between banks and
politics, and no politician should ever be
permitted to have a traceable interest is
any bank. Politics is an industry whose
operations are in the nature of favors;
banking is a sacred trusteeship of other
people’s money and no banker should
have a single favorite.

A dozen men who meet occasionally for
dinner and conversation were discussing
the relative usefulness of business
ports, philosophers, editorial writers, and
others.
A paper had been read in which buri-
ns men were well defended. In the
group were a physician, a judge, a lawyer,
and 1 professor. I
Most of them had something to say and
finally the judge made this observation
which seemed to satisfy everyone.
”We all know,” he began, “.hat it isn't
cessary to contribute to an organized
charity in order to do good. We also know
that wherever there is a pot of money it
will be surrounded by professional upliftera.
No group is free of taint. I consider tbca
highly useful citizens. But some of them
make me tired.
Suppose you get on a street car with
half-hour ride ahead of you. On a beauti-
ful spring morning you sit next to a man,
and all the way downtown tells you about
the increase in real estate values, pointing
out corners he could have purchased five
years ago for a fraction of their present
value. All he can see is opportunities
ahead or opportunities missed for making
money. When you leave him you’re weary
and die day hasn’t begun.
“On another morning you talk to a man
who may not be succrefu! as a money-
maker, but he has noticed that the sky
blue and that the air tastes cood. He

Why do authors introduce French, Ger-
man and Latin phrases into English writ-
ing*? Is there any explanation except
the desire to show off.
Probably not a tenth of the readers
know the meaning of these words. Those
that are easily translated are offensive and
ineffective since they are used over and
over. Surely there are adequate English
words for such chestnuts as par excellence,
classes, in loco parentis. Lawyers are
people of legal types of mind love such
foreign phrases.
A theater critic thought that he had
said something clever when he proposed
an endowment to teach American actors to
pronounce m-o-n-s-i-o-u-r. Unless an actor
appears in an all-French play why should
he be required to say monsieur? Why
should all other word* be in English ex-
cept this one? Why not let the actor say
mistar and be done with it? He is allow-
ed to speak all other words in English.
