SWINDLES

A familiar old rat is dragged into the open
again. Congressman Denison, advocating his
national '|bue sky law," says Americans lose
$500 100000 year on worthless securities.
It is a deplorable large sum, and any effort to
lessen it is commendable
However, based on the combined income OF AL
Americans in normal times, $50O,O0O,OOO OF
punder yearly means that, on the average, swim
ders get only 81 out of each $40 Of our income
We are swindled out of many times that much
by the trickery of some so-called Legitimate
business transactions. Interest centers on the
deliberate swindler because he doesn't give US a
run for our money. ~aa3

MAKES FOR DEEP ROOTS

The grudging spring makes deep roots and
hardy plants The idea, allegorically, should com
fort progressives who are discouraged by the
reactionary swing of the pendulum.
1t appears personally. Hard obstacles, early
in a mans career, give him deep roots and build
up his fighting strength for later battles.
Great careers start early in life, as preparation
When John D. Rockefeller was bookkeeper work,
ing for $35 month, he was learning to manage
and finance his giant business of after-years.
Like doctors in medical college, much that We
are doing now will not be "cashed in on until
later.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Barton Roberts

King Courageous, the real king Of
the Korsknotts and the Diddyevvers,
spoke kindly to Nancy and Nick. "My
dears,' said he, 1T is due to your
bravery and wits that have been re-
leased from the spell that bound me.
And thanks to you, also, my son, the
prince, and his sweetheart, Princess
Therma, have been .llade happy, for
they will be married.
"NoweI Shall give you your choice
OF three wishes. First, if you so de-
sire, you may stay here and live hap
pily'I0ith me in the Castle Of Mirrors,
which is my real home. Nick shall
have horse that shines like gold and
goes like the wind, and Nancy shall
have a pony that shines like silver and
goes like lightning. You shall so to
six movies a week and have a hun
dred lollypops a day.
Second, if you would rather have
| it SO, you may ride for a year and a
| day in my noble ship and see the won
| Iders of the world.
Third, if you SO wish it, one of you
| may rule over the Diddyevvers and the
other may rule over the Korsknottss
| while my son and l are away making
war on Twelve Toes the ,Sorcerer and
Iall his wicked relatives. Besides,
must decide what to do with these
imposters, King 1ndig and King
Verde. They, too, must be punished
'Do we have to take one Of the
three wishes, or may we make a wish
of our oWn?" asked Nancy.
Anything you like, my dear" smiled
king Courageous.

HAUNTING TUNES

What has become of cover There" "Tipperary
and the other martial tunes that were so popular
during the war? You rarely hear them any
more When you do, chances are, some one yells
out to turn the record over or put on some Jazz.
With Memorial Day coming, there will be re-
vival Of "Dixie," Marching Through Georgia"
and other songs that call up in memory the Civil
War.
Musicians are wondering what particular song
Americans will always associate with the World
War.
The interesting possibility looms, that they
will not remember any song in this connection
unless it's written later.
The popular song during the Revolutionary
War was yankee Doodle" After nearly cen
tury and half it's "sti going strong"
"Hail, Columbia Y was first sung April rs, 1913,
by young actor named Fox, in Philadelphia's
Chestnut street theater. While not exactly a war
song, it was in the nature Of a reaction from the
war; expressing young Americas exuberance at its
independence.
In 1914 the spirit of the War of 1872 saturated
the blood and brain of Francis Scott Key. Afire
with militant patriotism, he wrote "The Star
Spangled Banner"
The Civil War left the country with whole
flood of songs, some them sure-fire today, others
good on occasion.
The Spanish-Amercan War dug up the old
timers, including "Hot Time In the Old Town To-
night" This gem, however, dates back to the
Chicago fire, which it commemorated. The war
with Spain produced no song typical of it's period
possibly because so many of the singers died of
malaria, "yeow jack and embalmed beef

DIRT.CHEAP

Somewhere in your neighborhood they are
building house. Go over there, pick piece OF
shining metal out of keg, and the carpenter Will
tell you it's "10-penny nail" Other nails are 20
penny, 80, 40 and so on.
"Penny," in connection with nails, is a measure
of size.
Originally, it designated the price per hundred
Thus "10-penny" nail meant one that cost III
cents hundred, wholesale.
The name has lost it's old meaning, because to-
day you can buy the nails dirt-cheap. Yet years
ago the price was not considered high, for pre-
viously buildings were put together with hard
wooden pegs. Maybe you've noticed them when
an ancient house was torn down. M
In the name Of the "107penny nail,' you have
the key to the whole scheme of modern life
cheap prices made possible by quantity produc-
tion.
Nearly all of mans important productive inven-
tions were discovered within the last 200 years
For thousands of years before that, human
muscles were in a general sense the only i'm
portant machinery.
Cagula, spendthrift Roman emperor, at his
banquets served tongues of birds, brought from
great distances by relays Of the swftest runners,
at tremendous expense.
There is no demand today for bird tongues to
tickle the palate. If there were, this ancient dell
cacy would be put up in big canning plants or
rushed in refrigerator cars by fast express
The price would be extremely low, compared
with Caligula's time. For instance, few cents
will buy you package of dates brought from
Arabia, a box of leechee nuts from China or a tin
Of crabmeat from Japan.
Wouldn't it be interesting to turn the clock
ahead 200 years and see what the steady expan-
sion Of quantity production leads to by then?
It is not at all improbable that an airplane some
day may sell for few dollars. This may seem
ridiculous, but no more SO than suggestion that
a watch might some day sell for 81, would have
seemed only few centuries ago when time pieces
were so prohibtively high priced THAT only kings
and the very wealthy could afford them.
Expensive luxuries Of today are the cheap ne
cessities of tomorrow. Standard of living stead
lily advances-but only by increased production

TODAY'S WORD
Today's word is LEGATION.

Today's word is LEGATION.
It's pronounced-le- ga-shun, with
accent on the second syllable.
1t means-the place of business or
official residence of diplomatic min
lister at foreign court or seat of
government; in common parlance
uss,l in distinction from embassy"
the official residence of an ambas-
sador, r minister the highest rank.
An embassy is legation, since an
ambassador is minister; but lega-
tion is not necessarily an embassy,
inasmuch as it may not be occupied
by a minister of an ambassadors
rank.
1t comes from-legate, which in turn
is firm Latin "legatus," to depu-
tie, the minister heing deputized to
represent his government.
It's used like this-"The foreign
powers have sent marines to Peking to
guard their legations against attack" :"
