Poor Rich Man

iS1T~AKE my advice, and, if you get the money
~ making bee, don't let it get YOU. Lester I. Bar
kerr wealthy and retired st. Louis business man, is
talking The bee got him and its sting has made him
VERY unhappy, he candidly admits
ii AS kid" Barker like other boys. He read books
and he found joy in the companionshp of his pamates
Then he grew up and went into business He made his
Npans deliberately and observed them rgidly.
III He would make his pile and then play. His business
became his life He avoided society and social relations
He read books, those whose pages filled
with black and red fgures-fgures that told the daily
story of his trade and the profits thereof Always he
worked.
Il And rches-great riches-at last his. Then he
stepped of his business and sought the happiness he
was his money would buy.
II Came the jolt of discovery that money not
all and everything-that happiness is not commodity
Ito be easily purchased with dollars laid counter.
He discovered that he had forgotten how to play that he
could find pleasure in book, that he could not sit
but good play, that he did not know how to mix
agreeaby with people.
He discovered that he had sacrificed quite all Of the
finer elements in his character to the pursuit Of money
land now that money makes him unhappy.
III II worked too hard' says Barker, sadly, "but not
hard enough to kill me out, but too hard to
form taste for the best things that money buy
III THE lesson my experience has taught is that
keeping your shoulder to the wheel and pushing ahead
looking neither to right left, and forth is not
Eow pe set of directions for making success of life
Barker is right Others in his pathetic position would
admit it were they honest he s Money is nothing
it be thief of the head and heart and soul and fellow
\ ship of human beings.
Many poor rich attest this truth by conduct Bar

Much of 1t in the Bow

IN the national open golf championship Cyril Walker
drove to the purviews of small lake and took his
mashie in hand
Sir" said his cadde. there's a bit of gale blowing.
The midrons best" Whereupon, Cyril used the midron
and won the championship.
The writer would love to meet that caddie. He must
be part Solomon and part arch-ange. There are none
others like him and some his antithess.
There was that period, in the writer's career, when
the cute little white sphere reposed the bank of
lake. in the contest for the Cuss Club cup. THE mashe
is proper" advised the cadde Mashe it was, and the
ball disappeared absolutely. No splash in the lake No
ball in any of the trees nearby Seemed to have burst
like soap bubble. Caddie searched the ground
passed over since the last hole No ball there. And
caddie threw down his bag of tools remarkng, Here's
where quit. No fee wanted. Any who can do
that with mashie is haunted" 1t wasn't till the club
house reached that the ball found in the golfers
pants leg where it rolled up at the ankle. All of
which goes to show that championships sometimes de-
pend upon having cadde who knows what not to do,
like Cyril Walkers, doesn't it?

MELONS Mistake

ONE of Secretary Melons most telling arguments
~ against high surtaxes, when he pressing for
adoption of the Mellon tax pan that the number of
big taxpayers falling off each year.
He showed that the number of people who paid taxes
incomes in excess of 100000 was smaller in 1920
than in 1919 and smaller in 1921 than in 1920.
But then Mellon stopped
In the official statistics of Income for 1922" just
given out by the treasury department it shown that in
1922 the number of taxpayers who paid on incomes in
of 100000 40 per cent greater in 1922 than
in 1921.
Here the figures for three successive years 1920
$3.50; 1921, 1852; 1922. 4OSl.
In other words the high rates did not prevent big
tax collections when business conditions good In
the years following the war; business fell off and natural
ly incomes decreased

Rialto Another Scandal" "

The problems of married life are
treated with light. satric touch, in
Another Scandal" screen version of
Cosmo Hamilton story, at the
Rialto Theater this week AS in
Lubitschs picture, The Marriage
Circle" this subject is handled ar
tistically, with excellent photoe-
raphy, clever subtitles and logical
action, showing fine direction. 1t is,
however a picture for the Sophisti-
Gated adult-not for fiapper consump-
ton.
The young couple live in a home
that looks like a private museum
Beatrice Franklin, wife of Pelham
Franklin, millionaire, is a graduate
f1apper," who has to learn the lesson
that married women must keep off
the grass" At the suggestion of a
bachelor friend of the family, Beatrice
urges her husband to give a yachting
party to distract his mind as he is
much worried over the fact that he
is soon to have an heir. On this
party is a poor little widow from
London" a tiendish young female,
determined to get Franklin for her
self She would have failed COM
pletely if Beatrice had not gotten
pioued because her husband did ex-
actly what she asked him to do and
So when well again, she treats him
abominably. Infuriated, Franklin
leaves for New York on the same
train with the widow and gives the
latter opportunity to get in some
fne work. Beatrice, however, com es
to her senses and goes right to the
