MORE AIR CASTLES TUMBLE

UPWARD and downward flights Of stocks
~ through which wise or lucky individuals
made fortunes during the war period stimu-
lated the habit Of reckless investment in the
United States. That is why another lot Of
drcamcrs will suffer through the collapse of
another brokerage concern. with branches in
this city and in all important neighboring
communities. which came without warning
yesterday. Here again tho processes Of ''in-
tensve promotion" were employed TO tempt
amateurs into the speculative markets.
The individuals and organizations that
do necessary and beneficial work in the
circulation of good securities among the
investors whose money keeps the business
of the country going cannot continue to
ignore the outlaws and advcnturcrs who
operate on the outskirts of their field.
Many millions are lost annually by unfor-
tunatc people who know little Of the rules
of safe investment and have no way OF
knowing them. 1t will not do to say that they
should consult their bankers. Many of
them have no bankers. The snidcs operate
with success largely because they are per-
nittCd to occupy Offices in great buildings
and because no authoritative agency is
operated for the easy work OF exposing them
and driving them ont of business or into
jail. There is a large field of opportunity
here for the reputable houses and the Stock
Exchange boards at least, il not the State
Department of Banking.

VoLSTEAD FIREWORKS

TNllE second anniversary of the Nolstcad
l. act did not go of without fireworks,
though there was 10 apparent disposition
anywhere in the country to devote the day
TO praise and the music of rejoicing. A
four story factory building near Second and
South streets went up in smoke. three
alarms were sounded. families fled from
neighboring dwellings and the Fire Depart
ment toiled harder than usual because Of a
blaze said to have been started by an ex-
plodug whisky still.
This display of Nolstead fireworks was
significant. It reminded sophisticated and
impartial observers once Hgain of n new
and extremely troublesome aspect Of the
general prohibition problem. The history
OF bone dryness as it was written years ago
i'll Norway is being repeated explicitly in
tho United States.
While the Federal enforcement officers
have been learning 10 cope with the illicit
traders by putting q check upon the pro-
duction and sale Of authentic whisky, the
people who want strong drink have been
learning to make their own. and in every
city amateur distillerS are plentiful. and
some of them arc turning out white light
ming for the trade We are in somc
danger Of becoming q nation OF moonshiners
if the enforcement officers cannot find n way
TO deal with the problem Of tho kitchen still.

ABUSE OF SICK SOLDIERS

JTNTIL now few people had heard of the
L National Subsistence Company. That
title has an el!uring and novel sound. 1t
belongs to a novel organization. The Ma
tionM Subsistence Company, it seems, is
an agency in which the pity, gratitude and
concern which the country is supposed to
feel for its disabled soldiers Of the World
War have been incorporated at second
hand and denaturod.
Tie Subsistence Company takes contracts
for the feeding of soldiers under Govern
mcnt care An investigation conducted by
thc American Legion in sanatorium at
Pocono shows that from the allowance
granted to each soldier the company takes
$40 Il month for meals alone 1t maintains
war prices in the cOmmissary. Razor
blades and cigarettes and such are sold nj
sLv.high prices. And the Government pays
for the housing.
The public should be permitted to know
moro about the National Subsistence Com
pany. 1t appears at THIS distance to be an
unusually well protected infant industry.

GETTING AHEAD

THE Mitten- Weglein petition to the Pub
L lie Service Commission for its views on
the proposed operating agreement for the
frankford elevated line was intended to
prevent unnecessary delay in getting the
new road in operation.
Whatever agreement may be reached be-
tween the city and the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company must he approved by the
commission. It's approval informally OF
one phase Of the agreement pavcs the way
for approval of other phases on which ne
gotiations are still in progress.
Time is an important element just now.
The sooner the line is in operation the
sooner will the city begin to get some re-
turn on its Investment. If agreement on
operation conditions could have been reached
at any time within the last three years. the
cars could have begun to run within a COM
psratively few months of tho settlement Of
the terms. The delay has cost tho city ut
least 81 100000 in interest on the cost OF
the line, and It has inconvenienced tens of
thousands OF persons who would have used
the high speed cars every day.
Now that tho Public Service Commission
has approached the matter in the same
spirit of accommodation that is being dis
played by City Council and the Z. Il. T., it
is not likely to be many months before cars
are in operation between Sixty ninth street
and the Frankford terminus of the new ele-
waited line.

compel the President to appoint repre-
sentative Of agriculture to the board.
Word now comes from Washington that
it is willing to accept either Of two amend.
ments 60 the law. One amendment would
direct the President to appoint representa-
tives of the various phases of Industrial
and commercial business to the board and
the other would remove from the law the
provision that at least two 4of the members
should be men experienced in banking or
finance"
The second amendment would leave the
President free TO exercise his own discre-
tion in making up the board. 1t is pos
Siblc to make a colorado charge of class
legislation against the law as it stands, for
1t contains - special provision favoring
representation by specific class. So long
as this provision remains in force objection
to requirements for the representation OF
agriculture on the board is weakened, in
spite of the fact that nearly every one
admits that there should be men with bank
ing experience in the group of directors Of
the bank.
An amendment 10 the law which would
give the President absolute discretion in
making up the board would apparently
satisfy the farmers bloc, while 1t would
leave the President free to appoint as many
bankers as he saw fit. The members Of
the bloc could then go back home and tell
their constituents they had eliminated from
the law all discrimination in favor of the
banking class and had put the Reserve
Board on democratic basis.

Government Securities
invest in Government securities. Every
person should own something, and what
