WIFE Of MISSING
BANKER RETURNS
TO CHICAGO HOME
Mrs. Spurgin Says She and Her
Daughter Will Offer Aid
to Officials.

CHICAGO, July 27.-Mrs. Warren
G. Spurgin, wife of the missing pres
ident of the Michigan Avenue Trust
Company, and her daughter, Vivian
have returned to Chicago. Mrs. Spur
gin declared they had returned to
offer what aid they could to officials
in Strengthening out the tangle of af-
fairs caused by Spurgins alleged
populations and subsequent disap-
pearance.
Revelations concerning Spurgin's
financial operations came yesterday
as bank officials prepared to submit
data to Assistant States Attorney
James e. McShane. Spurgin, 1t was
said, escaped, as far as il known now,
with only $4,000 OF the banks funds,
1000 Of which may be in liberty
bonds.
Wine and women, a good time at
the cabarets and a greed for gold are
said to be the reasons why Spurgin is
now a fugitive.

TT is at all times risky to recon-
mend anything. Yet In the very or
der of things we all do recommend
the things we like to our friends Is
is too much to ask us always to rec
ommend with reservation. We
should be quite stilted and unnatural
II we did that. Perhaps 1t Is better
suggestion to say that we should Al
ways take recommendation with res
ervations.
If friend of yours tells you that
she has found a good dressmaker she
really puts herself under no Obligar
lions to prove her statement, but II
you should ask for the dressmakers
address you put your friend under the
necessity Of proving that the dress
maker is good. So If you do ask peo-
pie to recommend anything, you must
show your good breeding by abiding
by the results without complaint. II
would be the height Of rudeness on
your part to criticize a dressmakef
whose address you had asked for from
q friend who had told you about her.
If you do not agree with the friends
recommendation you are, of course, at
liberty never to have her againl OF
course the dressmaker Is only an e1.
ample and the same rules hold good
of anything that is recommended to
you-frOm a book to new kind OF
breakfast food. You don't have to
take the recommendation. But If you
do it is the well-bred thing not to
criticize the result.
Some people give up recommending
books because those they recommend
them to do not like them. But one Of
the things that makes books interest
ing is the discussion they evoke. You
are not casting aspersions on
friends taste when you fail to like a
book that she finds interesting. So
discussion of a book at somebody
else's suggestion is permissible.
The only thing that you ought not to
recommend unless you are willing to
take the consequences Is something In
which you have personal or financial
interest. But perhaps this admonition
comes rather In the field of ethics than
in the field of etiquette.

President Harding also asked con
gress for authority so that he can deal
with the foreign countries owing us
money amounting to about $ll, 100000
600. He would have the debts funded
and power granted so that he can set
lie the minor problems growing from
this debt. Naturally, as he said, he
would do nothing as to final settlement
without the approval of congress.
'These matters are all important,
but one of the most significant things
about his whole address was the way
In which he stated his feelings regard
ing the powers of the chief executive
and those OF congress. He not only
does NOT want more power, but he
feels that the powers of the president
are too great now. Let me read that
part of his address to you. 1t is Ger.
tainly refreshing to hear a president
who knows that he does not know it
all, and besides is not only willing to
listen to the advice of those who know
more than lie does on certain subjects,
but SEEKS THAT ADVICE. Suppose
you read this paragraph, Jack, and
train your reading ability"
Il am very sure,' read JACK,
we shall have no conflict of opin-
ion about constitutional duties or
authority. During the anxicties of
war, when necessity SEEMED
compelling, there were excessive
grants of authority and an extra
ordinary concentration of power in
the chief executive. The repeal of
war time legislation and the auto
matte expirations which attend the
peace proclamations have put an
end to these emergency excuses,

ner. All that remained to make the
day perfect was a story from Uncle

The trouble between Great Britain and

Ireland free state the same as Cana

ly add to the prestige of Premier
Lloyd George. The other, which con-
Germs us more, is the opening OF the
second session of the Sixty-seventh
congress OF the United States in Wash
ington with an address from President
Harding that will also go down in his
tory because he met the needs of the
nation, and laid definite program of
sensible legislation and action before
our lawmakers.
.''one of the biggest subjects and
most important covered by the presi-
dent is the tariff. In general way,
he would have a permanent tariff law
passed at once and give more power to
the Federal Tariff commission to
straighten out the details. Enemies of
protective tariff law, that is, a law
that would keep cheap articles from
being dumped into this country from
foreign countries to undersell our own
products, feel that this would be hard
on some of the countries suffering
from the war. President Harding be-
lleves that there are sufficient means
to avoid extreme exclusion of foreign
products, or the reverse, which would
be the flooding of our markets with
the same products. He would have
provisions that would give the presi-
dent power to modify rates after rec
concentrations from the tariff com
mission, SO that the United States can
keep on buying as well as selling and
at the same time protect our markets,
our labor, and our industries from
field of cheap goods from Europe. The
plan is the most sensible that could be
proposed. The status of foreign fl
nances and industry must be studied
before hard and fast rules can be laid
down. 1t would mean that rates would
be changed to meet changing condi-
tions of the world. Under such an ar.
rangement permanent tariff law can
be framed and put on our books.
