Hurry! It's your duty! Each

TO avoid badness. What a pity.
Failing hair means your hair is

Danderine almost instantly stops
falling hair of men or women and
cleans every particle of dandruff

or greasy. Go TO any drugstore now
and get a bottle. Use It. Have
healthy heavy. beautiful hair and
lots of It.

Still the Best Policy

The prompt expulsion from the
New York Stock Exchange of mem
bers found guilty of unethical prac-
tees is evidence that in big business
honesty is still the best policy.
1t also shows that the New York
Stock Exchange, despite the fact
that it does not meet the approval
of William Jennings Bryan or SAM
uel Untermyer, is determined to
keep its house in order.
Wall Street has suffered in the last
year because of the failures of many
bucketshops and of heavy losses to
honest investors as consequence.
But bucketshops are not members
of the Stock Exchange, nor does
that body knowingly countenance
shady transactions by it's members.
So much has been said and is
being said against 1t that when it
proceeds aggressively to rid itself
of dishonest firms as soon as their
dishonesty is detected. it is entitled
to a word or two of commendation.
New-York tribune., 1922-09-16
The End OF Persecution

The failure of Commissioner of
Markets O'Malley to secure from the
Board of Estimate an appropriation
Tor vast army of market super
visors and assistants ought to end
the system of persecution that has
vlctimized pushcart peddlers in the
public markets. The cost of licenses
would have been as great to the ped
dlers if these employees had been on
the city pay roll as it would had
they continued to pay themselves out
of the license fees.
The peddlers' only salvation from
persecution is >eheapened cost of the
maintenance of the markets. This
seems assured by the attitude of the
Board OF Estimate. In the judgment
of experts who have studied the
situation there is no reason why the
peddlers should be taxed more than
$40 or S12 a year for the privilege
of using the markets, instead of
S52, as at present.
The purpose of these municipality
conducted vending places is, as an
nounced by the Mayor, to bring down
the cost Of food to the poor. That
purpose has not been well served, be-
cause IN the past the peddlers have
been overcharged for licenses and
have naturally been forced to pass
along to their customers the cost of
high license fees and the tips they
were forced to pay for good loca
tions and for the removal of refuse.
Furthermore, spectators came
into the markets, bought the most
desirable produce from the farmers
and sold it to grocers who served
wealthy customers in other parts of
the city. These conditions have been
made plain by The Tribune in a
searching investigation, with the re-
suit that graft has ended and an
effort is being made to make the
markets real help to people of
small means.
The interest of Mr. Justice Crop
sey in the matter and his order for
bidding the paying of licenses to un-
authorized collectors brought it to
an issue. The result will be honestly
conducted markets and cheaper food,
provided vigilance is not relaxed.

Covering Up Defeat

1t is the natural endeayor of Mr.,
Gompers and Mr.. Jewell to create
an impression that the rail shop
mems strike-in itself a disastrous
fallure-somehow injured the status
OF the Railroad Labor Board. They
point out that the minority roads
which are taking strikers back have
agreed to the appointment of Joint
boards to adjust disputes over sem
lorlty and other questions. cha,
ma" say the strike apologists; eve
have left the Railroad Labor Board
out of all this"
1t is an illusory claim. The Labor
Board decided dispute carried up
TO it by shopcraft unions. The shop
men walked out as a protest against
the decision. But the latter still
stands In its entirety. In the settle
ment with the minority roads it was
plainly stated that the men should
return to work at the wages fixed
by the Labor Board. All the men
asked was an opportunity to go
pack to work without definitely sur
rendering all seniority rights. Thev
certainly didn't strike simply for
the purpose of compelling the roads
10 take them back on such a basis.
The Labor Board was never asked
10 pass on the waiver or non-waiver
OF seniority rights. 1t had simply
SAID IN one of its early decisions
tnat 1t would not recognize the ex-
istence OF hold-over seniority rights
II the question ever came before it.
The transportation law authorizes
railroads and employees to deal with
each other directly on all questions
OF wages and working conditions
Under the minority settlement each
road treats with its own men. The
Labor Boards services may be in
Voked by either side to settle an nm
yielding controversy. There can.
therefore, be no slight to the board
IN direct negotiations. The more
direct settlements made the better
it will suit the board, the chief func-
ton Of which is to pass on issues on
which direct negotiation fails.
The boards authority, assailed by
the shopn1en, was not overthrown.
The strikes failure strengthens it's
hands. That failure demonstrated
however. the foolishness Of not Civ
ing the board ample power to en-
force its decisions. 1t is the de-
fender of the public interest. This
defense would be more effective If
the Railroad Board could be COM
bined with the Interstate Commerce

as the attendants looking after the
insane patients among the soldiers.
In other words, DR.. Salmon makes
it clear that the treatment of these
patients is inadequate. He makes
ten recommendations to alleviate
conditions. His testimony in this
case merely confirms the general i'm
preston gained from the statements
of such men as himself and other
representatives of organizations
working in behalf Of the veterans
that there is room for improve
ment and that only by public agita-
tion will results be achieved.
Director Forbes may dislike inter-
ference in his work. There is no
implied criticism against him. But
it is difficult to escape the conclusion
that conditions are not as they
should be. Are the monkeys in the
zoo entitled TO more skilled attend
ants than the disabled veterans?

Fighting Bill" Donovan

There is no reflection on Lieuten-
ant Governor Wood in the desire of
many of the leaders of the Republi-
can party to make Colonel William
A, Donovan, now United States Dis
trict Attorney at Buffalo, candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor.
Colonel Donovan led the Fighting
Sixty-ninth" in the World War. The
record made by officers and men of
that regiment is remembered with a
thrill by every citizen of this state.
Those who urge him for the nomi-
nation believe that it is fitting that
at least one man with brilliant war
record should be on the state ticket,
and they contend that no man is bet
ter qualified as Governor Miller's
running mate than Colonel Donovan.
He left lucrative law practice to
go to the war. He took into it one
of the 'fightingest" regiments ever
assembled. He came out of the war
the idol of the men who served with
him and with a reputation for cour-
age and ability that was known
throughout the state.
He has done excellent work in the
United States District Attorneys
Office since his appointment, but is
said to be willing to answer the call
of his state if it comes to him. Colo
mel Donovan was discussed at an
informal conference between Cover
nor Miller and some Of the party
leaders at the State Fair at SYRIA
cuse, together with other possibili-
ties for the state ticket, in which
some changes are certain to be made.
Final decision, of course, will rest
with the delegates, but there is no
doubt whatever that if Colonel Don
ovan's name is brought forward he
will develop very powerful sup
port. And it is certain that If nomi-
mated he will lend great strength to
the ticket.

It's a Gift By Hanistte Unssrhiu

This Is the story of Thomas True,
Henry Holkum and Harold Hyperbole
Harold must come first because he is
chief title writer and scenarist with
the Vox Populi Film Company. 1t is
breakfast time and Harold Is at the
table with Susie Sweetser Hyperbole.
They have been married three months,
and Harold is having his first spasm of
jealousy. Susie had been a popular
actress before her marriage, but had
consented to take long vacation be-
cause Harold wished it and because
Harold's salary as scenarist and title
writer was quite sufficient to provide
Susie with all of the luxuries which
she was accustomed to expect. Harold
was peevish. He had grievance and
he knew that the proper place to air it
was at the breakfast table. Susie had
danced six times the previous evening
with Larry Larkin, and only five times
with him. "You seemed pretty we'll
taken up with Larkin last night When
are you going TO see him again? Of
course he is much more brilliant than
/ am"
"Of course he is, old dear" ac-
quiesced Suaie. "But you're the cats
whiskers in my bungalow. Pull your
self together and don't tell me you're
jealous Of Larry Larkin." So Harold
pulled himself together, kissed Susie
and went down to the studio to title
his new picture, called ."Her False
Step" The story was about young
couple. who were having their first dis
agreement. The husband was Jealous
because his bride Of three months had
danced six times with Harry Hawkins,
and only five times with him.
Harold pondered long over the situa-
tion. 1t was what was known in the
studio as big dramatic moment.
Finally he wrote Matthew Brandt

entered the breakfast room pale and
haggard after sleepless night; he had
no chance to speak to his wife until the
servants finally left them alone"
The next title must tell what the
husband said after the servants had
left them alone, and Harold wrote this:
Helen, I feel that our bark of happi-
ness is headed for the rocks; shall we
allow it to drift into the Sea Of Sar-
gasso-there the fiotsam and jetsam Of
broken marriage vows swirl" Then
he took long breath. This was great
stuff he was writing this morning.
Sometimes he actually wondered how
he did it, And now for the wife'g
answer. Of course, she was blame
less, so naturally she would be terribly
hurt when her husband suspected her.
The picture showed the young wife
with tear in her eye and a wistfuI
smile on her lips, SO Harold first wrote
title, saying: Helen sat with O. tear
in her eye-a wistfui smile on her
lips Harold knew that title writers
always should be careful 20 tell lust
what the scene is that the people are
looking at. Then the wife spoke and
Harold wrote as follows: "Such sus-
picions are unworthy of you, an insult
to that dear love which I have held as
priceless possession. I cannot explain
why / danced six times with Harry
and only five times with you-some TING
you shall know the truth-can you not

The Heyday of Isnas

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1t seems important to realize
that under present political conditions
we are liable to have fastened upon US
isnls of almost any kind, through
amendments to the Constitution and
by the passage Of laws to enforce the
amendments.
Candidates for Congress or for
state legislatures want more than a
party nomination, and so energetic
agitators are able to secure promises
in exchange for votes. In this way
cliques, leagues or other organizations
with catchy names have good chance
to regulate our mode Of living.
About 40 per cent Of those who
could vote do not take the trouble to
do so, and most of us do not know all
the new legislation which our candi-
dates may be pledged to favor. What
degree of personal liberty will be left
to our children is problematical and
must so remain until we learn how to
destroy secrecy in politics.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY James ]. Montague
The DESTROYER

Now doth the busy little moth
Within the closet lurk,
Nor give himself to idle sloth
But spend his days at work.
And when our brand-new evening
suit
Is taken out next fall
1t won't be worth a single hoot
And can't be worn at all.
No poets sing this insects praise,
Though buster is he
Throughout the balmy summer
days
Than any busy bee.
No hour Of respite does he seek,
No moment of repose,
A mite he is, but in a week
He eats a suit of clothes.
Try as I will Railways fail
To understand Alright
How one so fragile and so frail
Has such an appetite.
] cannot guess how he contrives
So fast his jaws to ply,
Or how the creature ever thrives
On meals of wool and dye.
Yet undismayed by camphor balls
Each passing summer through
Among my winter clothes he
crawls
And eats suit or two.
And though no poet up to date
Has ever spoke him fair,
I think it's only right to state
That / think he's bear!

AUNT PRUDENCE HEcKLEBURY
Aunt Prudence Hecklebury has
rolled ball under the bed every
night for many years to make sure
shat q man is not hiding there.
One night, several years ago, the
ball did not come out on the ether
side Of the bed.
She opened her mouth as il to
Then she suddenly closed her
mouth without scream
Then she looked under the bed.
She saw that there was no one there
after all. The ball had been
stopped by shoe.
Then Aunt Prudence Hecklebury
screamed.
After that, once every two or
three weeks, Aunt Prudence Heckle-
bury would throw shoes about the
room in such a careless fashion that
one of them was sure to lodge under
the bed.
But nevertheless she always pre-
tended to herself that she did not
know there was shoe under the
bed.
And when night came she
would roll the ball under the bed
again and it would be
stopped by the shoe and then
she would look and see that
there was no man and then
she would scream.
But she never got out Of it, at
any subsequent time, the same thrill
that she had experienced the first
time that the ball was stopped.
II
And as the years go on she gets
less and less thrill when the ball is
stopped by the shoe.
She scarcely screams nowadays
the noise she makes is rather
squeak than a scream.
It is becoming more and more i'm
possible for her to pretend that she
does not know that it is shoe.
So I am afraid that Aunt Pru-
dence Hecklebury Is beginning to
get really old.
All, me! Romance passes!
