Vitamens In Cabbage

The poet sings of many things,
Including cabbages and kings.
The kings are growing scare these
days,
But we are glad the cabbage stays;
For were we short on leafy greens
What should we do for vitamines?

! pected that he feared his own impulse
: and therefore solved his problem, not b,
subjec ting himself to a constant test
but by taking precautions to put temp
tation permanently out of his way les
he yield in some weak moment.
But perhaps this appraisal is entirely
incorrect. 1t is possible that DR.. Stein.
metz would have been able to do lust as
good work if he had regularly received
large monetary compensation as he did
without receiving any definite salary at
all; he may simply have been sensitive
about selling his brain-powcr for a
price. Whatever explanation may be
given of his refusal to work for money.
the chances are that he would have liked
the world to believe that his idiosvn-
Grassy meant merely that he loved his
work for its own sake and for the bene-
fits he could in this way confer upon
mankind
But to love ones work and to accumu-
late a private fortune as the result of
personal labor are not incompatible.
The average man could not emulate DR..
Steinmetz without' doing injustice to
others. For the average man has de-
pendents, and if he does not provide for
their future while he is physically and
mentally able to do so, he is recreant to
his plain duty
There are thousands of men whose
work is not adversely affected by their
acceptance of large monetary compen-
sation. If person thinks that he can
not do justice to his work unless he
keeps his mind off the matter of none
tary compensation, then what he needs,
If he has any dependents. is manager
who will attend to all such dstracting
details.
In contemplating Dr. Steinmetz's pc
culiar aversion, one should bear in mind
two probably pertinent facts concern
ing him: First, he was Socialist: sec
ond, he was genius. His was a kind
of mind seldom encountered. Therefore,
his philosophy, albeit perhaps ideally
suited to him, could hardly be adapted
to the work-a-day needs of the aver
age man.

A WORKER WITHOUT A SALARY

There is an clement OF the exemplary
III the late Charles P. Steinmetz's phil
osophy as revealed by the announcement
that, although he WIS reputed to be
"the highest paid electrical engineer in
the world" he had actually received no
salary at all and left no estate to show
for his many years of arduous labor.
Yet when one comes to apply that phil
osophy to the affairs of the average man,
it seems to fall short of practical wis
dom.
1t is not difficult to appreciate the
qualities which seem to have impclled
the electrical wizard to refuse any spe-
cific monetary compensation for his
work of mind and hand. He seems to
have felt that he possessed something
which ought not to be trafficked in. Ger
tain it is that far too many people work
for only the concrete rewards which
their labor will bring to themselves
they inquire as to the salary or wages
before they will undertake the task.
DIR. Steinmetz may have had an in
hcrent love for money; but, if so, he had
the strength of character, or at least the
will-power, which may be the same
thing, to overcome it. But if this be
an accurate guess, then it might be sus-

FRANCES LATEST POSITION

Premier Polncares speech at SAM
pigny, although it seems to have been
intended mainly as negative reply to
any and all proposals looking toward a
reduction of Germany's reparation debt
as fixed by the Reparation Commission.
contains one statement which might
logically be interpreted as a concession.
Acceptance of that Interpretation must
necessarily depend however. upon
whether the statement was made in the
fullest sincerity or was designed merely
as an offset to British arguments in
favor OF a reduction of Germany's debt.
France will not, he declared, go any
further into the question OF chow much"
Germany can or should pay, but is
entirely willing to discuss with other
nations, including the United States.
the question of when" the debt. as
fixed in 1921, is to be paid-providcd.
however, that any such inquiry must
be conducted in strict accordance with
the provisions of the Versailles treaty.
In other words, Premier Poincare,
while remaining adamant in relation to
the total amount Germany must ulti-
mately pay, has softened somewhat in
respect of the terms of payment. He
would be willing TO give Germany more
time in which to pay fixed and un-
changeable total.
That was not the French govern
nent's attitude when it sent troops to
occupy the Ruhr Germany had not
then refused to make reparation pay
ments. Cessation of voluntary payments
was subsequent to the invasion of Ger
many's richest industrial region. Be-
fore French troops went forward to
collect reparations by force, Germany
was making payments to all the ally
nations. The amounts. it is true. were
not as large as the Allies demanded or
as the Reparation Commission had speci-
fled. Sometimes, too, the payments were
late. Nevertheless, payments were &C
tually being made, and Germany's ex-
cuse for delinquency in all cases was
that she was simply doing the best she
could
France refused TO accept that excuse
She dcm anded that payments be made
in full and on or before the date they
fell due. 1t was to enforce such de-
mands that she seized the rich indus
trial region known as the Ruhr.
Now Premier Poincare saws that
France is willing to reopen the very
question she refused to discuss at the
time she invaded German territory. But
that is not now the only question. aside
from chow much" which would demand
attention if the Allies should meet to
solve the reparations problem. Before
Germany could begin to set her own
house in order, and consequently de-
velop the ability to pay her debts, she
might have to be relieved of the in
cubus that is throttling her and at the
same time subjecting her to various
internal disorders.
Would Premier Poincare be willing
to withdraw the French troops from
the Ruhr as means of enabling Ger
many to meet whatever terms of pay
ment the Allies in concert might formu-
late. If not, then his speech at Sam
pigny would put France in the posi-
ton of admitting that her invasion of
the Ruhr was a mistake, and yet of
refusing, at the same time, to rectify
that mistake.
Frances uncompromising position in
relation to the question Of chow much

cannot he maintained with as much rea.
son now as was possible before the Ruhr
was invaded. 1t is certainly plausible
If not simply obvious, that the seizure
OF Germapy's richest industrial region,
to say nothing of the effect which that
act has exerted upon the morale of the
German people, has reduced her capacity
to make reparation for the destruction
her armies wrought in the world war
In effect. then, France is now demand
ing of Germany more than the amount
fixed by the Reputation Commission in
1921.

A Puzzle a Day

Just what the sentence deprive
cur in rage" has to do with the con-
tents of the bottle is perplexing
question. The curious label was due,
however. to some one mixing the let
ters, before the label was printed.
Rearrange the letters, and they
may be formed into three words
which will tell what is in the bottle.
Yesterdays answer:
The chess players spent the fol-
lowing amounts for postage:

Ic-- .s.......N... sol.VU
In 1922 they each sent two postals
week for % weeks; 80 apiece: 100
altogether. In 1920 each sent
letter week for 80 weeks; 60 al
together. IN 1918, each sent two let
tiers weel; for IL weeks; As alto
gether. Postals cost one cent each
t10OxD; letters, two cents each
(60x2). But in 1918, postage was
three cents an ounce instead of two.
Hence the mail for that year cost
them $1.H (3x4S). instead of 9G
cents, which it would cost today.

NOT so MANY FOOLS

There are so many charges of care
lessness leveled against Automobiles and
they are SO often proved, that there will
be feeling of general surprise over sta
tistics compiled by the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad as the result of recent expert
ments made with the desire to see lust
how carelss the average driver of mo-
tor car can be when dealing with the
matter of crossing railroao5.
He is just about per cent careless.
The general opinion would probably be
that he was at least so per cent deficient
IN taking necessary precautions.
The Pennsylvania road selected a
number of crossings at various points in
thirteen states and had them watched
through the summer that has lust end
ed. A total of 242,142 cars was checked
and of this number only 1866 drivers
showed that they lacked common sense
IN handling their cars in places where
caution was necessary.
The check covered all the antics in
which automobiles indulge when. cross
ing railroads; the full stop until the
train had passed by, the stop and start
when the driver of the car became con-
vinced that after all, he could make it :"
the stalling of engines on the tracks. the
driving into gates that were lowered and
the apparent loss of mentality>when once
on the track and the approaching train
was in full sight.
The most frequent fault OF those who
did not exercise proper caution, was
trying to cross the track at high speed
after the driver was aware of the APP
preaching train. In no case did the
crossing give the car more than a few
seconds of time over the period the
driver would have been compelled to
wait had be come to a full stop and al
lowed the train to pass. The indisposi-
ton to wait was the sin of bv far the
greater number of those who failed to
exercise common sense.
The slaughter of automobiles on rail-
road crossings amounts to appalling fig
ures every year but the PENNSYLVANIA
road has proved that the loss of life.
great as it is, comes from a very small
fraction of those who drive cars.
In many states laws have been passed
fixing a penalty upon every driver who
does not come to a full stop before
crossing a railroad track. These laws
are excellent but it is difficult to en-
force them because it is impossible for
the railroads to maintain one or more
guards at every crossing on their line
The showing of the figures gathered
by the railroad prove that the fatalities
that are constantly occurring are due to
the foolshness of much smaller per-
centage of the drivers of the country
than would have been thought possible,
Possibly, the average automobiles is
growing more careful as time goes on.
although that is difficult to believe.

How Will Wall Street React
to News ofHardings DEATH?

perience, however. is that the the de-
cline - the market was the result Of
weak speculative situation. Margin
traders. caught unprepared. were
forced to unload hurriedly. But there
was no dumping over of investment Sc
curities. On the contrary. investors
flocked in to buy at the low prices
temporarily made after the wave Of
speculative liquidation.
When the new President. Theodore
Roosevelt. announced that there would
be no changes in the policies of the
government, the financial and business
communities were exceedingly reassur-
cd. 1t did not take more than a few
days for Wall street TO get ever its
shock. When il did. the market went
on its normal course, and so did bust
ness outside.
So far as the markets are concern
ed. the present position is very differ
ent from that of 22 years ago. In
stead Of misrepresentation. We have had
four months of almost uninterrupted
decline. during which stocks have been
brought down to what is admittedly
n low level. Instead of weakness in
the money market there is almost nm
NAdA4iBAtu -NODbus hU04N
care to predict the temporary course
of the speculative movement. but the
essential thing is that the Wall street
markets are far better prepared for
such n shock TO sentiment than they
have been on other occasions in the
past.
Statement Is Measuring.
Business men will await with in
terest what President Coolidge may
have further TO say regarding the
program of the new administration.
He has already briefly announced his
purpose Of carrying out the Harding
policies. There is no reason to doubt
that this will give the same reas-
surance as the similar statement which
Roosevelt made after McKinley's
death.
What the effect will be upon the
situation in Congress. whether Mr..
Coolidge's advent will or will not have
any effect in the way Of composing
the differences in the Republican
party, is n question which is not with
in the province of Il financial writer
to discuss.
In the main. the Wall street view.
so far as it could be gathered to-
day. is that the political outlook will
not be changed.
