Chiropractic
Diplomas

The value of a diploma is only
as great as the school back of it.
There is nothing to prevent any
one who so desires to start a
school" and give diplomas in
Chiropractc. Six hours a week
for a few weeks would be an the
time required to make a Doctor
of Chiropractic. The more money
you spend the shorter the course.
The holder of such a diploma
would either have to bluff his way,
go out of business or go to a good
school.
Realizing that making chiroprac-
tors at so much per" was a
tempting way to get rich quickly.
the chiropractic associations all
over the country insist that their
membership be composed of REAL
ehiropractors and not diploma
holders. Education and ability and
not a diploma are essential for the
practice of chiropractic.
Consult telephone directory un-
der heading "Chiropractic Asso-
ciation Of District of Columbia"
for chiropractors with proper edu-
cation and ability to successfully
practice their profession.

found In the fact that, ss Lamont
says, labor has In some instances
reached a point of arrogance that
slienates sympathy and blocks con-
cilliation.
Capital has already learned" La
mont asserts. that arrogance and
Intolerance were harmful, doing
damage to the best interests of cap
itai. SO that there has been a gratify-
ing disposition to abandon these prac-
tices. Now it Is labor's turn to aban-
don arrogance and look at conditions
with an impartial eve realizing that
what Is best for capital is also best
for labor"
Lamont asserts that notwithstanding
the stupendous totals which tell the
story of our foreign trade since the
first of last January. nevertheless
there Is no doubt that there Is some
thing wrong or awry, worthy of cor
'rection, In the present condition. This
is shown. he asserts, by the cancella-
ton of important foreign orders. and
also by extraordinary quotations of
the foreign exchanges.
In a few words Mr.. Lamont points
out the manner in which the extra
ordinary growth of our foreign trade
has been developed. a growth so great
that in the five years between 1915 and
1913. inclusive. our net trade balance
Aggregated approximately $lI.ocO. 90. COO.
This stupendous total can he traced
back to the purchases, just after the
war began, In the United States by
the entente allies of commodities of
which they stood in need.
The bought indiscriminstely, There-
fore fhara fOllnWad Irnurisa and sAvapt,
competition among the allies. for they
in order to be the first to secure these
commodities. And yet no increase In
the production in the commodities fol-
lowed. Therefore arose a situation
which was not permanently advanta-
geous to American manufacturers.
Mr.. Lamont told the Cleveland bank
ers something that hitherto has been
unreported and known only to a few
He said that after the syndicate allot-
ments for the 500. 10000 Anglo French
loan were made. and they were made
on a scale far heavier than in any pre-
vious operation in the United States,
il was discovered that the syndicate
had still a gap of $50. 10000 to fill
II was in a dilemma Should II be
said to Great Britain and France that
the United States could not grant them
credit. or should the risk be taken, y
leap ahead almost lin the dark. be
made in the hope that the deficit be
somehow made up?
Mr.. Morgan said that he had full
faith. So the syndicate went on. and
time had enough applications for the
loan, and more than enough.

MARKET RALLY
!, CHEERS. STREET
Buyers Are Active and
Entire List Shows
Buoyancy.
~ BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Nov. -A-The technical
condition was so strong in Wall
Street today that II carried the mar
ket materially higher in several Isl
sues and nearly everything was at
least fraction above Saturdays
close. Only the scoppers showed dis
tinct weakness all day In the morn
Ing there was a weak period Ifor the
whole list but il had recovered from
that by noon and all the rest Of the
day the buying seemed good. The
close was steady and with banking
interests working hard to coax the
plucked public back into the market.
Strength Of the railroad equipment
shares was due chiefly to short COW
ering.
Tobacco stocks we're among the few
to have valid prisons for strength.
The price OF cigarettes had been ad-
.vanced again 10 cents a thousand.
This makes a total advance of 20 cents
a thousand since the war. For the
American Tobacco Company II means
enough to pay its present dividend
but OF course the larger part Of the
advance Is taken up by increased
cost OF material and labor. The to-
bacco companies are at least holding
their own which is something that
can hardly be said of any other
American industry except automo-
'oiles.
Motor stocks were under the lead
ship Of Pierce-Arrow and the old re-
port of a merger with General Motors
was In circulation.
Although the Federal Reserve BanR
In the New York district has improved,
the reserve for the country as a whole
is scarcely better than the worst.
This offers no hope Of liberality in
