The Ready Pistol

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
SIT: When will those responsible for
the safe delivery of money for nav
rolls learn that merely being armed ia
no protection against a hold-up? In
reported cases where were the pistols
OF the men with the money? In their
pockets! Much use they were there.
Had the men with the $4,000 paw
roll had their pistols ready to shoot
and shot to kill when the masked men
held them up In New Jersey a short
while ago, 1t is safe to assume that the
hold-up would have been disastrous for
the bandits.
Then, again, the mistake is made Of
leaving the automobile altogether. In
stead of that, the guard should remain
and keep the one carrying the money
covered in case he is held up, follow
ing him at a safe distance.

Protecting Investors

Seymour L. Cromwell, president
of the New York Stock Exchange.
has prepared new regulation
whereby members Of the exchange
must submit for inspection a month
ly trial balance. In addition, houses
doing margin business are to be
required, at least twice a year, to
answer questionnarre which will
disclose the firms financial status.
Such supervision should act as
check upon those houses which are
financially weak, and thus afford
additional protection to investors.
To the extent that the likelihood Of
insolvency is lessened an important
Improvement in the entire system of
the Stock Exchange will be effected.
That such reforms should come
from within is better than that they
should be forced from the outside.
AS Mr.. Cromwell indicated in his
address, there are already in exist
ence sufficient laws to correct most
of the abuses cf which the public
has complained in connection with
the work Of the bucketshops. The
means to enforce them seems alone
to be lacking. To endeavor to ham
per the exchange because the ex-
istng laws have not been invoked
against those non-nlcmhers who have
been guilty of corrupt practices is
unreasonable.
The Stock Exchange as at present
organized is able to drive 'bucket-
GERS" and other dishonest dealers out
of business. Within its own ranks it

"a friend Of mine from the country
came to New York the other day" said
the Young Old Philosopher, "and i'm
mediatcly he began to 60 about in by
ways which we vino live here continu-
reach. He discovered little hooks and
corners that |, for one, have seldom
visited and necessarily in his wander
ings he encountered groups of people
that l do not know. In the limited
time at his disposal he was exploring
the out-of-the heway sections of this
vast cobweb we call Manhattan, and he
talked by the hour with folk of all
classes and creeds, conditions and ap-
pearances. Naturally he became a bit
confused, and perhaps it was because
his judgment was warped in the proc
ess Of finding things out that he
finally came to me and unbosomed him
self.
Il was amazed to learn that he be
lieved every one in Manhattan more or
less tainted. This is a sick city,, was
the manner in which he put it. You
all need healing. Your bodies as we'll
as your souls are i'll; and it is awful
to encounter such degenerate multi
tudes.'
81 could scarcely believe my ears.
+ have lived in New York practically
all my life, and I feel that l know
something of this tangle of streets,
the heterogeneous life here, this mon
strous carpet that stretches endlessly
in all directions. I had never thought
Of the city as a vile or contaminated
placc-except in certain moments OF
disilluson, when almost any spot on
earth where one happens to mako his
home seems out of key, out of focus
And SO I said to my friend:

you seek. If you are looking for the

The Flapper to the Bar

IA Kansas court ,Wos ldtely asked to deofde

"Bailiff," I asked, of the long
faced man
Who stood so erect and proud,
"What is the case that has filled

With this vast and curious

A murder, perhaps, or swell

A society family jar?

Steamhtters' Wages
e Editor Of The Tribune.

~
Sir: l take the liberty Of correcting
the statement referring to wages paid
steamftters and steamftters' helpers
which appeared on your editorial page
this morning under tho heading doc
tored' Building Bills"
Since May /, 1920, steamfitters have
received SO day and helpers 81 a
day, making a total Of $16 day, in
stead of $12, as noted in your edi-
torial. On jobbing or extra work the
employer charges s22 day for labor.
This charge covers the wages Of
$18 day paid the mechanics, 49
cents a day for insurance, The use Of
all tools required to perform the work,
superintendent's time and carfare and
such sundries as telephone calls, oil,
candles, etc, which usually amount to
about $3.50. The total cost to the heat
ing contractor is, therefore, approx
mately $1s, which leaves him the large
sum Of 81 for overhead and profit, or,
in other words, % per cent, instead of
80 per cent, as noted in your editorial.
At the rate Of overhead and profit
mentioned / think you will agree with
me that not many heating contractors
could afford to own beautiful mansions
or take annual trips to Palm Beach.

The Genoa Conference

There have been two conceptions
of the Genoa conference. According
to the first, which sprang some
months ago from Lloyd Georges fer
tile imagination, it was to be a con-
gress of world scope, undertaking
with world sanction the regenera-
ton of Europe and the setting up
of a new economic and political or
der through at least partial smash
ing of the treaties on which the pres
ent order - the Versailles order -
rests.
Lloyd Georges original scheme in
cluded determination with Soviet
Russia, the scaling of German rep
arations and, apparently, by virtue
of American participation, read
iustment of inter- Allied war debts.
This plan encountered many OBJ
stacles. France SHE'D at it and
turned out the BRAND ministry on
that issue. The United States de-
cided to keep away from Genoa, not
caring to sit at a green table with
Lenine's agents or to discuss war
debt cancellation at this time.
Finally opinion in the British House
of Commons turned against Lloyd
Georges dizzier fights Of fancy and
forced him to volplane toward solid
ground.
The congress as now circum-
scribed is a European affair - a
family affair. 1t is pledged not to
attempt TO revise treaties or to open
the question of German reparations.
1t will have an economic rather than
a political character. The main
problem will be to check national ex-
penditure, dismantle the paper
money presses, improve exchange
and trade conditions and get Europe
back to work.
Europe is quarreling family.
But it is a family so closely united
that the folly or waste or idleness
of any one nation intimately affects
the other nations. The excesses of
nationalism have blighted Europe
At Genoa an effort will be made tc
bring all the participants to see that
Europe's ills are largely of European
creation and can be best cured by
self-treatment.
For this reason American Austen
tion was the part Of wisdom. Eu-
rope needs self-help more than she
needs American help. The will to
survive and to pull out Of the hole
must be established first. 1t will
then be easier both for America te
give assistance and for Europe to re
ceive it. We do not want to dictate
the terms of European reconstruc
ton and we stand ready to hel1
along a reconstruction sponsored By
the European nations themselves.
We therefore have no proper place
n1 this family council. But we hope
to see it animated by a constructive
purpose and wish it the fullest DOS
sible success.

DISSOLUTION

DISSOLUTION
IF HE may come for me;
L If, when the ebbing tide runs out
to sea,
He'll come from out the gloom, once
more, and stand
There, close beside me, holding out
his hand;
If may see, ere blackness closes in,
The reinsurance Of his boyish grin,
| shall have grace to smile on those
who weep,
And close my eyes in sleep.
If he will speak my name,
1t will not be as though Deaths
Angel came,
Sterneyed and winged with flame,
to take me home,
For there are purple hills we loved
to roam;
We knew calm streams with shoals
where fishes spawn,
And sunsets fires and bugles of the
dawn,
And tranquil pools, inviting us to
swim
SO, would welcome him.
| would not that my eyes
Should see him in the garb of
Paradise,
Serene and radiant, with the earth
ly clay
BY fires Of tribulation burned away,
A splendid spirit, bright and puri-
fed;
Nor with the smile that came the
day he died
That strange, high smile Of cold
austerity.
| pray this may not be.
/ hope he may not speak
Some august, sounding summons to
the weak
And frightened spirit. Let his bat
tered creel
Be slung and in his hand his rod and
reel.
SO let me see him stand there, kind
and fat,
With grizzled hair and trout flies
in his hat,
And, bending, grin and slap my back
and say:
"Come, son; they'll rise today"
