MEXICAN PETE.
Jesse Livernore, foremost stock
market operator, denies the Wall street
rumor that he lost S2,500,000 by get
ting caught short of Mexican Petro
leum stock.
Many times that much, however,
was lost by the unknowns who
guessed the market wrong.
Mexican Pete" advanced 70 points
in twelve days, half a million shares
changing hands. Then it dropped %

terry was put out of business.
$4,000.
An education increases the average
PERSONS earning power $4,000 dur
ing his lifetime. This is the estimate
of experts. given publicity by Alice
Lakey, editor of Insurance Magazine.
Admitting that the estimate is cor.
rect, parents are giving their child a
mortgage on $4,000 when they send
them through ward school, high school
and college, or $4,000 for each year
spent in school.
Tell this to the child who wants
to quit school and go to work. On
top of the $40 1000 is the far greater
value of education to the intellect and
soul.
RUBBER.
Far-off happenings reach and affect
us all, eventually. Dutch and Brit.
ish rubber growers unite to regulate
the output Of rubber. To start with.
100, 600 tons of surplus rubber will
be held from market ITO stabilize
prices'-which means, send them up.
The buyer of auto tires may get
the reaction later.
We are entering a period in which
international trusts will be a greater
problem to consumers than monopo
lies at home.
HOKUM.
College graduates get lot of kid
ding. because of the widespread no
ton that they are puffed up and
expect the world to fall at their feet
The Christian Science Monitor sug
gests that this isn't true OF the col
lege graduate. The Monitor probably
is right.
Most generally-accepted notions are
false. Ed Howe, the famous country
editor. writes: Does a red flag re.
ally annoy a bull? We are always
talking about it, but did you ever
personally know q bull to take after
anything red?"
HOLE.
From Toxic comes a cable: Japan's
imports during May exceeded exports
by 100000 yen. This leaves Japan
in the hole 5000, 900 a month.
Some Americans wall about our
losing foreign trade. But in the fis-
cal year ended June 80 our exports
exceeded imports by Il bigger amount
than in any year before the war. Our
foreign trade in May left us TO the
good about $54, 600, 900.

To the Editor: Evidently the popu-
larity OF the Spanish language few
years ago has subsided-at least, its
practicability has come to question.
Five years ago there was not a de-
partment in a single Indiana college
where 1t was possible to obtain IN
structors equal to the demand OF
students. Spanish was pictured as
the coming prerequisite to success in
foreign trade. Today Spanish is an
other literary subject belonging to
the same Category as ancient Greek,
Latin and Sanskrit.
That Spanish is capable Of being
spoken seems to be its main justifi-
cation. Spain boasts comparatively
few great literateurs. But the Span
ish language departments in the
state schools obviously are flourish
ing, in spite Of the non-essential ele-
ments Of the course.

Somebody ran to the station
house and reported that Bill was
selling whisky. He got it into his
head that Adele did II and he went
upstrirs to see about it. -
According to the woman's version
Cf the affair, Bill put his hand
toward hts back pocket and told
her ff she said he sold whisky she
would be carried out of the house
by her silver handles.
Bill explained things differently:
He gid he only asked Adele u IL
was her that was selling the
whisky and IL II was, not to park
her automobile In front of his door
and make his shop look suspicious
Judge Mcmahon then called Adele
70 the bench and told her to mind
her own business Then Bill was
called on and told to mind his bssi
ness and then released on persona
bonds.
