What a waste of time All he has
to do IL to inject a few doses of
the silly. yet simple. profanity that
the gutter and the theater love so
dearly and-the trick is done.
Nothing easier. 1t Is the acme of
simplicity. The word hell" is at
hand. Let one character use It
and the laugh starts. Let two peo-
pie indulge and the merriment
becomes even uproarious. Add to
IT and stir gently until the blend
thickens-some mention Of the
Deity-and next morning you will
read that 'the house fairly exploded
with laughter"
Why blame the playwright
What is there intrinsically funny
In hell" Perhaps you believe, or
used to believe. that IL you were
wicked you'd go there and burn.
The idea of utilizing those beliefs
In ribaldry may he responsible for
the peculiar brand Of mirth that
their mention evokcs. II you do
believe in hell. however. why should
you enjoy hearing your belief turn
cd into ridicule? And II you don't
believe in It what on earth is there
funny about such a word7
1t Is extraordinary. Possibly you
laugh at tho word 'rhell' because
you unconsciously reason that some
people will be mortally offended,
and you are there to gloat at their
mortal offense. When the fat COM
edy woman. with arms akimbo, ex-
claims loudly MY Gawdt" you
laugh-or most people Iaugh-be-
cause they hear . brave woman
uttering a phrase that they realize
ID not precisely parliamentary
a SHAW comedy was once
N boosted into popularity by
the fact that the leading act.
ress-a woman of great society re-
finement-was compelled to use the
word bloody" which in England
10 an expression of unparalleled
coarseness. Discussion. debate,
argument followed sd lib.. and the
play did not suffer from the adver>
tisement II received. People flock
Cd to tho theater to hear Mrs.
Patrick Campbell say bloody" 1t
was . tremendously important in
cident- The word was used rel.
evantly and not cussedly az in
the cases I have mentioned above.
But tho mere use Of the expression
was enough to interest Isn't II
extraordinary
Some sort Of censorship in the
matter of profanity would be quite
justifiable. II something be not
done. all wit will die. all hunor
will become extinct as far as the
theater IL concerned, because there
10 not an incentive to 10 any further
for laughter than profanity. 1t
fills the bill" 1t is easily under
stood and appreciated. 1t 10
straight from the shoulder" But
1T Is verbal garbage and its
malevolent effects are contagious.

The Washington times., 1921-03-04

Thomas B Patton, counsel for the
American Bankers Association, has
rendered an opinion to the effect that
the request OF the Comptroller OF the
Currency that the banks issue a
statement OF salaries to be published
does not come within the spirit and
meaning OF Section o2ll OF the Re
vtsed Statutes.
The Comptroller now having gone
cut of office. IL Is regarded as more
than likely that the banks OF the
country will simply ignore these
items of his last cali and await &C
tiou which may be taken by the in
coming comptroller.
In this move bankers Of Washing
ton are In accord with their fellow
bankers In various parts OF the coun-
Gy who have announced that they
vii not comply with the provisions
Of the obnoxious items. they pointing
out that they do not object TO giving
the Information to the Comptroller
but do not believe in publishing 1t broad
cast. -.|.
Mr.. Paton's opinion. further, Is as
follows: a,#
~It Is not a statement of what the
bank owns or what II owes--its re-
sources and liabilities-and a report
and publication OF such salaries
"SeAe hc "oy thS opJSSt VI
Section b21i. which, as declared by
the Supreme Court. Is, as already said.
to apprise the Comptroller and the
public Of the banks condition at stat
ed periods- The Comptroller's author
ity Is measured by law-he cannot go
beyond the law, and this is simply
an authority to call for a report of
resources and liabilities SO that he
and the public may know the condi-
ton Of the bank. When he goes be-
yond this and demands the publica-
ton of additional information of a
confidential character, he Is. in my
opinion. proceeding without authority
Of law.
"True. Section 5211 also provides for
special reports to enable the comp
troller to acquire a full and complete
knowledge of it's tthe bank's) condi-
ton But, assuming the authority to
require these special reports would
cover a wider latitude Of information,
there Is no requirement for publica-
tion In such case.
IT am, therefore. inclinde to the
opinion that a report Of the compensa-
ton paid to officers and employees is
not a report of the resources or
liabilities. and that the Comptroller
Of the Currency has no power to force
the reporting banks to publish this
confidential information"

THE INAUGURAL CELEBRATION.

Those traders who are looking for
a sudden boom in the market follow
ing Harding's Inauguration may sur
fer a disappointment. They base their
expectations on the same basis as
were those who looked for rally
following the election. 1t Is again
rumored that a certain clique Of
plungcrs intend to make n fiasco of
any ATTEMPTED celebration" The
same rumor was whispered just be-
fore election-whatever it's founda-
ton, the bull market so confidently
expected at that time did not ma.
terialize.

NEW ORLEANS LEADS IN TRADE
IMPROVEMENT.

NEW ORLEANS, March 4.-Trade
conditions in this city are much bet
ter than any other city in the South
IT has been proven after a careful tab
ulation of business, in and around
New Orleans.
There was q drop Of only 1.6 per
cent in January as compared with
January Of last year when prices were
1t their peak. Birmingham shows the
next smallest loss of 3.6, or more than
twice as much as New Orleans.
The cities OF Jacksonville. Atlanta
and Nashville, showed smashing drops
II 179 per cent, 29.1 per cent. and
lib per cent respectively.
Stocks Of merchandise in all report
ing cities are much lower than Janu-
ary, 1920, while New Orleans shows
an increase of 6.2 per cent.
The tendency in all reporting
cities, however, Is to buy only what
is necessary to continue their busi-
ness.
