Relic of 1919 Boom.

The WHY'S Corporation finds itself
finally in the hands of the court because
the boom Of 1919 caught it with arnbi-
tious plans only partly completed. Its
big new plant at Elizabeth, n. j.. was q
white elephant from the moment auto
mobile sales began to slacken, and ef-
forts to finance the completion Of manu-
featuring facilities there were aban-
doned, with many millions of dollars
tied up in an unproductive enterprise.

tion OF goods reaches large proportions.

Houston Is Excused.

Washington.-Fore loans ex
tended by the Treasury during the
war and since the armistice were Wig
orously defended by government ofn-
cials in reply to protests against any
further extension of loans.
Secretary Houston OF the Treasury
resumed testimony before the Senate
Judiciary Committee on the Reed
bill directing the stoppage of further
loans to the debtor nations. At the
same time, Solicitor General Frierson
answered in court to the suit brought
by William Randolph Hearst to pre-
vent further financial transactions
with foreign governments.
Mr.. Houston was excused from fur
ther appearance before the commit
tee after he had presented a mass Of
correspondence covering the entire
subject of negotiations and had
pointed out the impossibility Of his
reading them in full in the few days
preceding March 4. However, he
left Nicholas Kelley, assistant secre-
tary in charge of foreign loans, at the
disposal of the committee while ii
continues the investigation.
Mr.. Frierson filed with the District
Of Columbia Supreme Court brief re-
viewing the transactions with the for.
eign powers, and said there was no
necessity for the injunction brought
by Mr. Hearst as a taxpayer, because
Secretary Houston had no intention
Of establishing additional credits IN
favor Of any foreign powers. He re-
viewed conditions under which money
was advanced to the Kerensky gov
ernment of Russia, and said Secretary
Houston did not concede that the
plaintiff possessed a status emitting
him to call in question the various
credits or that the court had any jur.
isdiction to determine such a contTo
versy.
Mr.. Hearst's lawyers, replying to
the solicitor general, said the Su-
preme Court OF the United States nev-
er has refused to entertain a suit by a
taxpayer to prevent a federal official
from disposing of the money or prop
erty Of the United States in an al
legged unlawful manner It also was
maintained that a taxpayer has all
the interest required to restrain an
executive official.

PREPARE EARLY FOR OLD AGE
Youth is the Time to Make Ready for
Happiness in the Inevitable
Declining Years.

The most inevitable-and one OF the
easiest-of the things we do Is to
grow old. Yet what difference there
is in the way different people do 1t!
You probably know. for instance.
some little old lady who, although she
may not be beautiful or brilliant, Is
Just ''nice"-whicl is apt to mean
that, instead Of bossing or scolding,
she tries not TO be troublesome or I'M
reasonable to those around her. Or,
rather she does not have to try, for it
is characteristic of elderly human be-
ings that they seldom try very hard
TO form new habits, says writer il.
TIE Pendleton East Oregonian. Youth
is the period of endeavor. and old
age of results This is the rtason
for the futility of young folks dis
pleasures at their parents "old fash
Toned" ideas Such ideas are fixed;
they will not change.
Yet not all elderly people are age
bound in their thoughts many can
be tolerant of innovations and a few
can even adopt them. Such a flexi-
BILE condition Of the elderly mind is,
like the rigid, intolerant sort, a prod
uct Of earlier life and habits; il is
not likely TO indicate any particular
good or evil trait in the person pos
sessing it.
If the young man or woman who
/ feels impatient az the old folks no
tons will cease 10 shrug shoulder
and exclaim, Il hope I'm not like that
when I'm old" and will turn HIS T.
tention TO the younger generation.
starting with himself, he is likely TO
do much for human progress. When
hi himself has reached the age Of
fixed ideas his character will depend
on his previous habits Of mind; if he
has kept himself free from prejudice
and eOcksureness and has been al
ways willing TO learn better ways of
thinking aud doing he will be likely
to -erngtn currespondingly more ra-
tionai with advancing years. and win.
IN truth, not be "lIke that when he
Is old.
