cracks of the big bear" were
visible in Wall Street. If so, the
big bear, after a short walk around
the exchange, evidently decided to
80 back to bed for a while. There
were no "big bear tracks yesterday.
1t was a quietcr, more peaceful day
in Wall Street, and the little lambs
went home with some of the wool
clinging to their backs, after 3
100000 share day, one that would
have startled finance in ordinary
times. In these days big figures
surprise no one.
DIG men and little men ask them
- selves whether prosperity and
boom times will continue. and big
men know, if possible. less than little
men. The little men GUESS. So
they have an even chance on being
right.
Those that write financial and
commercial history so years hence,
will be amazed in observing the fail
ure of Americans in 1925, to realize
that when the average income OF
citizens doubles, values also double.
A LABORER'S cottage in China
"A If laborers have cottages
there-can be only worth what
Chinese laborer can afford to pay
for rent out of HIS wages.
The same cottage, transported 10
the United States, may be worth ten
times as much, because labor earns
ten times as much.
The value of all things depends
upon the value Of human labor. Whlle
labor goes up, other values must go
up.
THE federal trade commission, anx-
1 ious perhaps to earn its salary
wants men owning moving pictures
and also theaters to sell the thea
tiers. The commission says they
cannot own BOTH.
That is new and doesn't seem to
fit the constitution, which allows
a man to own and use property IT he
doesn't injure others.
IF Messrs. Zukor and Lasky cannot
i show their own pictures IN their
own theaters, what right has the
Express company to stable its own
horses in its own stables? Why not
compel the Express company to sell
its stables or sell its horses.
Stables are no more closely re-
lated to horses than moving pictures
to theatcrs.
IF Zukor and Lasky cannot show
i pictures they manufacture in thea
tiers they build and own. how can
Standard Oil exhibit and sell the
gasoline it manufactures in the thou
sands Of gasoline stations that 1t
builds and owns.
How can a manufacturer OF shoes
sell his shoes in his own stores!
IL the trade commission will
prevent as far as possible swindling
and Misrepresentation, and allow
legitimate business men to do their
business In a business way, 1t will
be attending to its work.
PROFESSOR BELL, surgeon OF
i authority, director of the Liver
pool cancer research, announced to
the Toronto Academy of Medicine e
new and successful treatment of
cancer. Fifty cases, including many
considered absolutely hopeless, have
been cured by injections Of lead solu-
ton.
One woman, with only few weeks
to live, was cured, 80 this responsible
surgeon says. of a rapidly growing
"spindle-cell sarcoma."
IF it is true that a poisonous lead
i solution can attack and destroy
cancer tissues without destroying
normal tissue, it means the saving
of millions Of lives, and, most i'm
portant, it means avoiding agony,
physical and mental, beyond calcula-
ton.
STRANGERS in the big city were
- amazed yesterday when, for 60
seconds ut a time. they could cross
a busy street without being run over.
Our great civilization was pausing
inst 90 seconds to think about Arm
istice Day.
How much thinking can you do in
60 seconds and what did you think
about Armistice Day, reminding us
of war that is fading into the dis
tance?"
MANY solemn orators grew tear
lvA full. They reminded you that
our heroes were all brothers in war,
the poor man gave his services in
the army, the rich man put his plant
TO work for the nation.
