Senator Kenyon missed his Oppor-

gloom brigade The prediction of an
early frost that might nip Iowa's corn
brought wrinkles to the brow Of the
distinguished Junior senator. His only
solace was in THE thought that Iowa s
prosperity has been so regular in sea-

stand a short crop this year and not

We have always maintained that
iowa is the most fundamentally pros
porous state in the union and that she
Is without peer In res0urceful pro-

created havoc in the great manufac-
turing industries of the east-except
those which are engaged in the pro-
duction of war munitions. The direct
effect Of this stagnation Is apparent
on the Pacific coast. where big bust
ness is at standstill. The toll Of
war must be paid.
But Iowa has profited because of it's

Conservation means the earliest and

Safeguarding Modest Philanthropies
Millionaires Not Essential Creators of the Widely
Popular Cleveland Foundations

criticism which public or quasi-public
undertakings, if they are fortunate
are able to enlist.
Foundations of the Cleveland type
which now exist in st. Louis, Chicago,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Spokane, Los
Angeles and perhaps other western
cities, and in at least one New Eng
land town, Attleboro, Massachusetts
although 1t is less than two years
since Mr. Golf announced his plans In
Cleveland, are shrewdly designed 10
overcome these limitations. They 40
not require millionaire founders but
may accept any amounts, large or
small; and the modest contributor mas
the same safeguards against perVer'
sion OF his gift as the larger founda'
tions have tried to secure through
their form of incorporation. The
Cleveland foundation is more imper.
sonal. The trustees are not selt-per'
petuating. The foundations are
uuasi-public. II the municipal admin
istration and the courts are resDon'
sive to current public opinion, then
majority of the trustees are likely 10
be so: and. as the trust company will
probably continue to seek for new
business and for new additions to its
trust funds. the two trustees whom ii
chooses are likely to be representa-
tive citizens.
Brief as is the period since the first
foundations of this kind were organ
lied it is reported that large sums are
already on their way to their treasur-
les. Shrewd business motive rein
force the social benefits which the
plan promises. The trust company
exists to do just the kind OF work
which these allied foundations will
furnish them and business from this
source will be no more and no less
profitable than from any other. Foun-
dations in any event must have their
financial agents, and probably IN no
other way could a more satisfactory
mr. competent agent or trustee be Sc
cured Permanence, experience ana
responsibility are all secured at
stroke. The division Of work between
the trust company and the directors
of the foundation seems to have been
thought out to the last detail. IN
Minnesota the law governing trust
companies is such that separate In
corporation of the foundation Is neces,
sary and in. any state this might be
advisable.
An interesting query arises as 10
what will happen if there are rival
trust companies in any community,
each keen to secure the advantages
or to perform the public service which
such an alliance with a community
foundation permits. It is greatly to
be hoped that in such case the com
panies will hit upon some plan that
will prevent the duplication OF founda'
tions. The business might conceiv-
ably be. divided. The foundation
should be one.

IN view OF the recent discussion OF
charitable foundations precipitated
by the commission on industrial re.
laIions, exceptional interest attaches
to the new form of foundation devised
fy Cleveland banker who seems to
be man of original of construc-
tive ability and social sense Tho in
vcntor is Frederick H. Golf; mis- in
yent:on is officially known as the
Cleveland foundation. Its two dis
tinguishing characteristics are o.
that it's funds are to be received and
invested by a particular trust COM
pany which thus becomes intimately
responsible for its success, although
not for its philanthropic policy; and
90 that it's five directors are chosen,
two by the trust company, one by the
mayor one by the local probate Judge
and one by federal judge within
whose district the city lies.
To appreciate these points one may
recall some of the general aspects OF
the established foundations. In their
own life time Mrs. Russell Sage, An
drew Carnegie and John D. Rookie.
Teller have been able. to see and en-.
joy some of the fruits of their public
spirited generosity in providing large
sums for the advancement of educa-
ton, the protection of life and health,
the relief of actual distress, and the
Improvement of living and working
conditions. Through the foundations
which they have established the ben"-
ficent undertakings which they have
set on foot may continue indefinitely,
changing their specific objects and
their methods, according to the needs
and opportunities which the trustees
from time to time believe to be most
worthy of their attention.
These foundations, however, liberal
as they are in conception and organi-
cation when compared with any OF
their predecessors, and beneficent as
thew are in their actual results, have
certain obvious limitations.
They can originate only with per-
sons of great wealth. They are in the
nature of personal monuments. The
first trustees represent solely the per-
sonal choice of the founder and sue
ceeding trustees are chosen by the
directors themselves under self-per-
,retuating plan. They are private
chartered institutions, without any
guarantee of the infusion OF new
ideas and without that wholesome
public interest which community par
ticipation alone can assure Ihey

aries, approval from students OF So

 Young Kean had been apprehended in connection with the stealing of a rifle. The chief escorted him to the police station and closely questioned him about it. In the course of the cross examination, the youngster re- vealed his associates.

 PRESENT AT LAMARA

The story of The Two Orphans" will never grow old, but Herbert Brenon'
 the crack director of the William Fox Film company has really given the great melodrama new life in his pictur- ization of the most popular American edition of D'Ennery's famous story. With a splendid company and some of the most realistic settings possible to imagine he has evolved a picture that is superior to any thing so far seen in Phoenix It is at the Lamara today.
 It is something new to see Theda Bara in such a role as that of Henrietta but she rises to heights in this pie ture that stamp her as a great actress for all her former reputation in Yam 9ire roles. William E. Shay knows how to play "Le Grande Homme" to per lection and in this picture as the friend of Henrietta he fully lives up to his reputation.
 The palm of the picture, however, goes to Jean Sothern, the dainty in many months ago. Miss SOthern is perfect in little blind Louise Her acting is splendid in every particular She is rival now of all the greatest young actresses of the silent drama, ,, and will soon lead the world in her art l
 Mother FOrchard is probably the worst reputatiOned woman in the l world, and it takes an actress to take 1 the part of the old reprobate, but 1 Gertrude Berkerly does this so realis- tically as to call for applause from the 1 lovers Of the great films.

SPRAY REPLACES BRUSH
 IN PAINTING PAGES

How the motor car industry has re- placed the older method of manu- facture with modern and more scien- tifically efficient ideas can be illus trated in hundred ways in many of the larger Detroit automobile plants.
 One of the progressive innovations that always is especially interesting to visitors at the factory of the Paige Detroit Morton Car Company is the method of painting the chassis wheels, tanks and other parts. Most laymen would imagine that skipping the paint on with a brush would do for these parts of the car, for in the minds of most people the fine finish ing and painting is confined to the body.
 With the Paige cars, however, this is not so. The paint is applied to the chassis, wheels, gasoline tanks, etc. by means of spray through which the plaint is forced by power. The ad- vanta ges of this method are numerous and important In the first place it applies the paint in a far more ef- fective way than is possible by brush, resulting in a quality that is distinc- tive because of it's evenness and dura- blitN. A chassis painted in this man ner not only looks better, but the fin ish lasts longer and by preventing the

The doctor who arranged the sale of the child to the rich woman is also suspected, for he has threatened to re- turn the child to it's mother for cash consideration.
