AMATEURS . ___
The shiest and shrewdest
financier I know is Bernard K.
B*™ck- He has made more
millions than moat men of oar
time by baying and selling se-
curities in Wall Street. Bor
year* he made that sort of
trading his whole business, de-
voting ail of hi* thought and
effort to it. Once he was ask-
ed to tefl how an ordinary per-
son could make money in stock
speculation. “Von can’t,” he
said, "No amateur can. You'll
lose your shirt if you try.”
The other day Mr. Baruch
told a Congressional Commit-
tee "the public is always
wrong in trying to speculate
successfully in the stock mar-
ket. The public buys at the
wrong time and sells at the
wrong time.”
I think that is true of most
people who try to make money
in lines in which they have
little training or experience. It
looks easy to an outsider to
run a grocery store, bat 95 per
eent of the people who try it
fail. Nothing looks easier than

RUSSIA.....still "pnrgang”
The news coining out of
Russis of the "purge” of the
Communist party by the execu-
tion of some of the men who
have been leaders in govern-
mental activities because they
are alleged to have been un-
faithful to party principles
Europe. There is no oyster .
grown to equal those from the |
waters of the northern Atlas- f
tic coast. The oyster beds of
tong Island Sound produce j
fine ones, but the Chesapeake l
Bay product surpasses them
ail.
Sojpeone has said that the
first man to ever eat an oyster
had something heroic in his
make-up. You have to be
"raised” on oysters to really
like them. But for those who
do like them there are few
foods more delicious.

ought to make a lot of young
Americans stop and think.
What happens whenever a
single group tries to control
the thoughts aad actions of a
whole people is that every so
often a lot of people whose
thoughts and acts might
threaten the control of the
group in power have to be
killed off.
There. U no means short of
physical force to make peo-
ple conform to regulations
which run contrary to their
beliefs, traditions and customs.
AH "authoritarian” govern-
ments use similar methods.
In Italy, Mussolini ares cas-
tor oil in hnge doses instead of
bullets. To insure his contra!
of toe government, voters are
given ballots containing only
one name for each office. To
insure a unanimous vote, post-
ers are put up declaring that
"anyone who does not vote is
sick. Anyone who is rick needs
castor oil.” That method is ef-
fective in keeping Fascism in
power by “popular” vote!
OYSTERS ___________
One reason 1 am always
glad to have the opportunity
to visit Washington is that I
can be sure of getting the best
oysters that can be had aay-
* e. Tc
where to my knowledge,
my mind, there is nothing
quite so delicious aa a big, fat
Chesapeake Bay oyster, fresh
out of the water as you can
get them only in Baltimore,
(Norfolk and Washington.
These succulent bivalves an
most delicious served row
the half-shell with a sa
made of a mixture <rf tomato

radish with just a drop or two
of tabasco.

RADIO .... since 1921
I have my first radio broad-
cast in 1921, less than 17 years
ago. Nobody else had heard
a radio broadcast muck before
then. There were three radio
broadcasting stations in the
United States at that une and
none anywhere else in the
world. The receiving sets
were primitive eontriptions in
which a small wire, known a*
a “cat’s whisker” had to be
adjusted to touch a piece of
rock crystal at a particular
point.
The other day I saw a state-
ment issued by the Interna-
tional Broadcasting office in
Geneva stating that there are
69,700,000 receiving sets in
use throughout the world. In
America there are more than
600 broadcasting stations
Therein is a conclusive an-
swer to the pessimists who are
always bewailing that prog-
ress has stopped and opportu-
nity with it. An entire great
new worid-wide industry has
been created in less than 18
years with nothing but an in-
vention to start with. Billions
of capital have found profita-
ble investment, millions of
men and women given employ-
ment. At this moment there
are hundreds of new inven-
tions under development, any
one of which may hoid the
same sort of opportunity.

HEAT . . . electrically
1 talked not long ago with a
great electrical engineer. He
told me a new method of using
electrical energy to produce
heat which is still in the ex-
perimental stags. Laboratory
tests, my friend said, indicate
that the time is close when
heating buildings by electric
current will cost only a quar-
ter as much as coal or oil.
A new and far more eco-
nomical way of carrying elec-
tricity over long distances was
announced the cither day.
When such new inventions be-
come commercially available,
what a revolution will come
about in our methods of build-
ing and living 1

SLEEK SILHOUETTE
SMELLS . . . recall pare
Driving over the wooden
bridge which crosses the
Matanzas River above St. Au-
gustine, I was suddenly trans-
ported In memory to my child-
hood home in Maine. The tide
was out, and the odor which
arose from the mud flats, a
mingled odor of decaying sea-
weed, dead clams and salt wa-
ter, was precisely the odor I
used to smell at low tide in
Portland Harbor.
I believe the sense of smell
has the strongest memory of
any of the live senses. A sud-
den whiff of- a long-forgotten
odor brings up dormant mem-
ories of places, persons and
events of many years ago. The
scent of harness soap, not Tong
ago, carreid me hack to a New
England barn and a sorrel
mare named "Jessie” that I
used to have to curry as a boy.
Crossing the capitol rotunda
in Washington the other day
my nose picked up a scene
which took me back nearly 60
years, to my first visit to Wash-
ington as a small boy. The
Capitol still smells the same as
in 1881. It is the same smell
that all state eapitols and most
city hails have. It is Use char-
acteristic odor of politics.

Out in California, on Janu-
ary 24, 1848, John W. Mar-
shall, a carpenter, was build-
ing a grist mil! on the South
fork of the American River.
He stooped and picked up a
small yellow stone that had
been washed down from the
wooded hills above the present
city of Sacramento, then leap-
ed on his horse and hurried
pellmell forty miles down the
canyon to the ranch house of — .. -
his employer, John A. Sutter. | leeted
Sutter stared at it, wide-eyed " *
with excitement. It was gold!
—Gleaming, yellow gold!
Telegraph wires flashed the
sensational news across the
continent and convulsed the
nation with excitement. Work-
men left their shops, soldiers
deserted from the army by
wholesale, farmers abandoned
their lands, merchants locked
their stores. The gold diggers
were on the move. The locust
swarm of humanity took wings
and headed for the golden
land beyond the sunset.
Naturally the gald-eeekers
converged from all sides on
Sutter's ranch. The mob tram-
pled his grain under foot and
they stole his wheat to make
bread. They demolished his
barns to build shanties and
they slaughtered bis cattle to
get steaks.
What was even more aston-
ishing, these treasure hunters
even had the audacity to build
towns on the private property
staggered under these cruel
blows, lost his reason.
For twenty years a/tar that,
he haunted the Capitol at
Washington, trying to per-
suade Congress to recognize
his rights. Dressed in rags,
the poor, old, demented man
went from one Senator to an-
other, pleading for justice;
and the children hr. the street
laughed and jeered at him as'
he passed.
In the Spring of 188C, he
died alone in a furnished room
in Washington. Died, neg-
lected and despised by those
who had filched millions from
his land. He didn’t have a dol-
lar when he passed away, but
he did have a legal deed to
the greatest fortune on earth.

rage while strange men bought
and sold resold hi* land as if
he never existed.
In 1859, California was ush-
ered into tit* Union, and the
majestic order of law now
ruled over the turbulent hills.
Then Sutter started the big-
gest law suit in history. He de-
clared that San Francisco and
Sacramento were both built on
his private property and he
prosecuted every "squatter"
living in those towns and or-
dered them to get off hi* land
at once. He sued the State of
California for twenty-five mil-
lion dollars as compensation
for the private roads and
bridges and canals that be had
built and the State had appro-
priated for public use.
For four years he fought the
ease through court after court,
and in 1855, he won. The high-
est court in the State of Cali-
fornia declared that the cities
of San Francisco and Sacra-
ments, and scores of other
towns and villages, were built
on his private property.
The news of this sensational
decision recked the inhabitants
of San Francisco and Sacra-
mento like an earthquake. So
the law was going to put them
out of their homes, was it?
Well, they would show the
law a thing or two!
They set fire to the law
courts, and burned op the rec-
ords; then they got a rope and
tried to lynch the judge who
had rendered the decision.
Leaping on their horses, they
dashed away to Sutter's ranch,
put sticks of dynamite under
his houses and barns and blew
his buildings high into the sky.
They murdered one of Sut-
ter's sons. They drove anoth-
er one to commit suicide; and
the third son was drowned
while attempting to get to Eu-
rope. John A. Sutter himself.

I BELIEVE IN THE CHURCH
I believe in the message of the
church in a day of per-
plexity.
1 believe the church is making
an honest effort to advance
good-will.
I believe that in so far as the
church is Christian it will
succeed.
I believe the church will over-
come the limitations of
uislty and sectarian bias.
I believe my place is in the
church as an active member.
I believe that iu the church I
can best further the causes
of friendship and good-will
towards all.
I believe the service of worship
to be a help in living a noble
life.
I believe a service of worship
can oaiy be of value when
the people cooperate with
tiie minister and choir to
make it at value.
I believe l am needed at church
every Sunday morning.
Therefore I shall make every
effort to advance the work
and worship of my church
by regular attendance and
frilling cooperation.

Education as to the dangers
of cancer and its early treat-
ment at the hands of qualified
medical men, will do much to
reduce the death rote. It is
not hereditary and not conta-
geous. It thrives on ignorance
and must be fought with
knowledge. It can easily be
prevented. Scrupulous clean-
liness of the akin, all parts of
the body, the mouth and the
genital organs is essentia! if
one would be free of cancer.
Slow eating, avoiding too hot
or too cold foods, alcoholic
drinks of high concentration,
moderation In everything, es-
pecially in the use-of tobacco
also prevent cancer. Do not
keep a pipe always stuck la
itbe corner of the mouth, for
this frequently produces Mp

by the excessive use of tobac-
co. See your doctor twice a
year and have him examine
you free head to foot. If a lump
or a sore develops on any part
of the body and does not dis-
appear within a week, consult
your physician.
Cancer of the skin, which
are relatively common, quick-
ly yield to treatment. Irrita-
tion of any portios of the body
lead* to cancer. The natives
of India suffer greatly from lip
and tongue cancer because
they carry day and night a
wad of betel nut between their
gums and lips. Japanese fre-
quently have cancer of the es-
ophagus, due to drinking very
hot tea. In Kashmir, natives
carry during the cold season,
a fire basket, suspended from
the neck over tire abdomen,
filled with hot charcoal, on
which they rest thete hands, to
keep from freezing, in that
bleak region Most of the*
later develop cancer of the
abdominal wall, due to the
boat of this fire basket.
