Get-Rich-Ouick Bubbles That Have Burst
BY HARLEY MATTHEWS
THE GOLDEN AGE THAT DID NOT ARRIVE

This is the story of an ideal that
was turned to profit, not ar idea.
In the year 1924, the struggles of
Greece against her Turkish Cypress
ors excited the admiration and SYM
pathy of the English people. Their
poet Byron had not only written
songs inspired by the justice and glo-
ry of the cause, but had shown him
self willing to die for it. College men,
students, and divines, were agreed
that the descendants of Homer and
Euripides should be saved from eX-
tinction. Professors of ancient Greek
wrote letters to the papers demanding
if the people whose early culture was
responsible for European civilization
were to be massacred out of existence
by the barbarian.
News of this feeling soon travelled
to Greece. These modern Greeks
seemed to sniff money as keenly as
their ancestors are reputed to have
scented plumber in their wars. ENJOYS
were Immediately despatched to Eng
land with a request for loan to help
the nation carry on the fight.
Chief among those urging the cause
were Mr.. Joseph Hume and DR.. Holm
Bowring, both eminent Greek schol
ars. They met the ENJOYS, who invit
ed them to join the Greek Loan Com
mittee.
The proposal for a loan was re
ceived favorably by the Stock Elk
change and was submitted to the
public Mr.. Hume's and DR.. BoWring';
eloquence over the glories of ancien;
Greece and its splendid heritage tc
the world never abated. One an
nounced he had subscribed $4,000
the other $125,O00. Everybody seemed
anxious to show his Greek scholar
ship. The Greek loan became tht
fashionable topic in every drawing
room. People who had never beer
suspected of having heard of Homes
before, subscribed large amounts. AND
anyway, it promised to be profitable

ADVERTISING SIGNS
ON ROADS MUST GO

All advertising signs of any char
acter must be removed from the right
of-way of state highways in Indiana
before Sunday or they will be removed
by officials of the state highway de-
partment. John D. Williams, director
of the state highway commission, said
today.
An order published by the highway
commission about four months ago
said that no signs other than those of
the state highway department or of
the Hoosier Motor club, designating
the roads, detours and railway cross
ings, would be permitted on roads
controlled by the state highway de-
partment after July 1, 1922. The COM
mission expects to enforce that order,
Mr.. Williams said
Only Those on Right-of-Way
The order affects only the advertis-
Ing signs that are within the bounds
of the right-of-way of the state roads
1t includes all signs within the right
of-way which contain any advertising
matter, such as signs put up by ga
RACES or other business concerns
which. in addition to containing ad-
vertising have information concern
ing the distance from a town.
The commission expects to encoun-
ter no difficulty in the enforcement
of the order, Mr.. Williams said. The
order for the removal of signs was
issued long enough ahead of the date
of execution to give persons who had
spent considerable money on signs
plenty of time to remove their prop
erty. In the majority of cases, ac-
cording to reports received at the
statehouse, persons affected by the or
der have complied with it.
Obstruct View of Highway
Decision to remove advertising
signs from state roads was reached,
Mr.. Williams said, because signs had
| become so numerous around cross
roads and turns as to constitute n
menace to motorists by obstructing a
clear view of the highway.
