Mr.. George Rombach died in
Franklin on last Tuesday evening.
He was born and reared in Franklin
He was son of the late Mr.. Lau-
renee Rombach who years ago was
n the jewelry business here. He was
steady, upright and honorable citi-
zen and was respected by all who
new him. He was buried from the
Catholic Church Wednesday evening
and his remains were followed to
their last resting place by large
concourse of relatives and friends.
He is survived by a half sister, Mrs.
Selma Leblanc, of New Orleans, and
many relatives, to whom the Banner

Wall Street Logic.

Prohibition finally establishes whisky
the national beverage" flippantly observes the
Wall Street Journal which is opposed to pro-
hibition. We accept that at its face value, as
they would say on Wall street. Whisky is ma
tional because it is prohibited, as beverage
by constitutional amendment and is becoming
harder to get as is evidenced by hooch and
other nasty substitutes. AS the same paper
says NO business in the world can meet all
its liabilities at an instaDt's notice. 1t must
have time to collect its assets. No savings bank
in the world can meet such demands. The fed
eral banking system could not meet its obliga-
lions il called upon to do SO at an hours no
tice"
Logical and true it is logical The
same logic. the same argument, is applicable to
the prohibitory amendment and prohibitory
laws. What great business was more strongly
entrenched, financially. politically and in the
human appetite than the liquor traffic? 1t be-
lieved itself. impregnabIe, and it has not yet
recovered from amaZement that public opinion
finally overcame all opposition and put into
the fundamental law of the republic the final
permanent decree of the people to intoxicat-
ing beverages. The innovation upon precedent

On Getting Rich.
winism.

Mary Pickfords income for two years was
$1,123,625, according % court testimony in
New York. The president of the United States
receives that much in Is years. The average
unskilled day laborer in eastern steel mills,
receiving 20 cents hour, would have to
toll 1886 years to earn as much as Mary gets
in two years. Salaries of movie stars are al
most as great marvels the actual moving
picture invention. The tremendous incomes of
movie stars illustrates a point that should be
indelible in the brain of any one trying to get
rich. This is the point: If Mary Pickford, for
instance, appeared on the stage and had only
one person a few for an audience her in
come would be only few dollars day. Such
performers the professional story tellers
OF medieval Bagdad modern Japan Then a
theatre is built and Mary can play to a couple
OF thousand people at each performance. Her
income increases abreast of the number she
serves. The invention of the moving picture
has enabled Mary to appear before an unim-
tied number of audiences simultaneously Each
member contributes his mite. The total of
mites swells into an enormous salary for the
performer.
The principle behind all this is application
of mass production to human service-the per-
forming of service for the greatest number of
people. The more people you assist or enter
tain the greater your income. Often you com
ment along these lines: Einstein, a super-scen-
fist of the sort that appears only once in CEN
fury, makes less money than the inventor of
some trlfling thing like the Eskimo Pie, ice
cream cone or safety pin. The answer to this
is that Einstein serves only a small and limited
number of customers scientists-while the
other inventors serve millions, each contribut-
ing his mite to the inventor. In any scheme
to get rich don't forget the Importance Of doing
something that will serve great multitude
There is infinitely more wealth in inventing
shoe lace with tip that can't come off than in
originating a costly fashion or anything else
that can have only limited number of custo-
mers. Greatest profits come from serving the
greatest number. Henry Ford found that out

Investigate Before You Invest.

When times are little slack many are will
ing to take financial risks they would not take
at other times. Constituencies takers are al
ways ready to capitalize on peoples credulity
7 Sharpers willing to sell anything from
United States battleship to certificates for Lib
erty bonds, if they can get quick money. Comes
now a warning from the national vigilance COM
mittee of the Associated Advertising clubs that
promoters in various parts of the country are
pushing the sale of worthless shares in air
transportation companies, promising large re-
turns. In some cases these promoters set up
actual machinery that will enable them later
on to sell stock. In other cases they play upon
the community spirit and induce chambers of
commerce to invest in schemes to put their
cities on the air transportation map. These
men quick to cash in when stockselling
time comes around. They often claim to be
backed by large capitalists and they are handy
with the technical jargon of aeronautics
Public confidence is thus enthused and i'm
periled. Commercial aviation as the commit
tee points out, has bright future in this coun-
try. But haste would mean waste, and the
public needs to guard against wild-catters as
well as against dreamers with good intentions
Both types are perfectly willing to put their
time against anybody's money. Commercial
aviation in this country does not need to be
pushed by promoters. 1t is in the hands of
aeronautical experts and of exper d. safe
men in the automotive industry. ore ven
turing too far in any such scheme it would be
well to take counsel with well established men
in the automotive and air flight business. AS
the committee suggests, investigate before you

much regret when it is too late

should assist the Christian people of today in
defense OF the Bible against its enemies, among
whom seem to be distinguished members of the
National Education association and probably
many of the professional educators of the
country. The speaker referred to as having
attacked the defense of the Bible at the con-
vention OF the association favors the teaching
of Darwinism in public schools, because it
was production OF science, so-called, and was
Indifferent at least, if not opposed to the of
the Bible in the schools. although that book is
the foundation Of the religious belief of all
Christendom the world over.
AS book of the greatest merit of pure lit
erature as well as one of the wisest and most
accurate in historical value, the Bible has a
claim Mr.. Bryan's defense, and he does him
self honor in appealing TO the world not to re-
ject 1t for Darwinism, and TO return to the BIZ
BILE guide to right living and right thinking
The Bible, no matter what version, ought to be
recognized by the educators of our country
and, of course, of the world, as book to be
studied by the rising generation, as an inspira-
ton to better lives and higher ideals. 1t is too
much neglected today in our homes and in our
educational institutions, while intelligent peo-
pie taking up with fads and fallacies that
are of no benefit to them or any one else, but
rather injurious, not only as destroyers of time,
but deterrents to spiritual life and all that high
ideals in life mean. Science, of course is all
right in its place. 1t is broadening to mems
lives and stimulating to mems activities. Sci
ence is doing great things for the advancement
of the world by inventions and discoveries, and
the development of many things for mankinds
comfort and happiness, heretofore unknown
but feebly guessed at. The study of science
should be encouraged, but not to the neglect of
an acquaintance with and study of the Bible,
the spiritual guide to right living, right think
ing and the elevation of the soul as the guide to
the of the body. Go back to the Bible and
learn from that book how to live and how to
die. This knowledge is not be found in Oar

Cox Violating His Promises

Washington reports tell of a dinner given
by Joseph p. Tumulty, secretary to President
Wilson during his two administrations. to
James NJ. Cox, 1920 presidential candidate at
which plans for preventing ratification of the
four-power treaty were discussed. These re-
ports indicate that MIR. Cox will exert his in
fluence against ratification of the treaty Prior
to this dinner Senator Hitchcock who led the
fight in the senate for ratification of the Yer
sailles treaty, announced that he would not
support the four-power treaty, unless reserya-
tons were attached that would meet with his
approval These reports are interesting in
view of the efforts made by both Messrs. Cox
and Hitchcock to secure ratification of the
Versailles treaty without reservations and par
ticularly in view of the statements made by
Mr.. Cox following the election of Mr. Harding
that the Democrats should assist and not Mace
obstacles in the way of constructive work of
the Harding administration
After fighting to the limit for ratification
Of the Versailles treaty, Nessrs. Cox and Hitch
cock have placed themselves in anything but
favorable position before the country by oppos-
ing ratification of the four-power Pacific treaty
After contending so violently for the Versailles
treaty there certainly is no good reason what
ever why they should not support the four
power treaty. The Wilson Democrats have
criticised severely the action of the Republican
senators in preventing the ratification of the
Versailles treaty and this creiticism was, in a
large measure, justified. Now those Demo
cratic senators who seek to defeat the four
power treaty from the same motives that they
attribute to the Republican senators in refer
ence to the Versailles treaty are even more to
be criticised than were the Republicans If

Breaking Up Pneumonia

| At a certain age or, rather, q
stage OF human life, the mind be-
comes set like plaster of paris,
and after that, according to the
psychologist James it becomes dill
fcult to make new impressions
upon the mind or change the in
dividual's views or beliefs.
Before the mind sets it is COM
parable in many cases with India
rubber, very plastic indeed and
susceptible to new impressions, but
the new ideas or thoughts are like
ly to bounce off again without any
lasting effect on the mind. A man
with an India rubber mind sent me
a letter the other day calling me a
lot of interesting but unprintable
names and inclosing an item tell
ing how some prominent citizen
suffered a chilling while on 90
mile automobile trip in very cold
weather, as result of which ac-
cording to the item, he developed
pneumonia and died. The CORE
spondent expected this item would
put quietUs on all my teachings
about the harmlessness of cold
weather aside from the chance of
frostbite. The India rubber mind
ed man failed to bear in mind that
mine is plaster Of paris mind on
this subject.
Can a person almost, yet not
quite have pneumonia? Can he be
threatened with pneumonia yet not
develop the disease? Can a doctor
or healer of any kind break up or
abort an attack of pneumonia?
Does pneumonia occur without ex-
posture to cold? Is pneumonia a
mechanical state purely, or is it an
infection by germs?
The layman's own notion that he
is coming down with pneumonia or
that cold is settling in his chest"
is based on his own unreliable SEN
sations. Every doctor knows that
nine cases out of ten in which the
layman imagines the trouble is
seated in his bronchial tubes or in
his lungs are in reality cases of
upper respiratory diseases, such as
laryngitis, adenoid body infiama-
ton, throat infections and the like
But to the layman the soreness and
cough seem to come from the
depths of the chest. This common
misrepresentation gives rise to a
