And now comes a new suggestion
though it's sponsors are not yet
Dragging about 1t. Reduce the rep
resentation of some of the Northern
and Western States in the Democratic
national convention, since they never
well, scarcely ever-go Democratic.
1t is hinted that William Gibbs Nc
Adoo and his friends are back of such
a move-though it has not yet been
confirmed. One reason advanced is
that it would be well to cut down
the strength in convention of the
Northern element which caused Mr..
McAdoo a great deal of trouble. The
name of Bryan is mentioned also in
connection with the suggestion.
1t is seriously doubted herein
fact, denied-that this move, If it
may be dignified as such-will get
anywhere. Senator Pat Harrison
takes a healthy swat at the idea, de-
claring that he would be strongly
opposed to it, and other Southerners
in Congress take the same position.
There is one reform, however,
which may well be adopted by the
Democrats in the national conven-
tion rules, Senator Harrison says.
He is conducting a crusade to bring
1T about. Abolish the two-thirds
rule and permit majority of the
delegates in convention to nominate
the party candidates. Senator Har-
rison is advising that when the Dem
ocratic national committee shall
meet again u adopt . resolution in

Facts Versus Opinions
BY ELWOOD LLOYD

Here are three little statments con-
corning facts that are worthy of note !:
Never mind the obstacles; over
come them and get the facts.
I'm science, opinions are tolerated
only when facts are lacking.
a fact is a fact and il is always
the same; an opinion may vary with
what you had for dinner"
These are quoted statements Of
Charles F. Kettering. president of the
General Motors Research Corporation,
taken from an article concerning Chan
ming Patten. and appearing in a re-
cent issue Of Forbes magazine.
The three statements in reality con-
stitute the backbone of the plan upon
which Kettering has built up one OF
the greatest institutions in the motor
industry. Because neither he nor any
member of this staff will permit OBJ
stacles to stand in the way of getting
facts, the development of the motor
car and the many allied industries
are making greater progress in Amer.
lea than elsewhere in all the world.
Quite often I am honored by visits
from our readers, who come to ask
advice concerning the value of some
security in which they contemplate in
vestment. The inquiry nearly always
takes this form: Mr.. Lloyd, just
came in to ask what you thought of
Such-and-Such stock as an investment
FOR person in my position?' They
come asking for my opinion.
~
and as Mr.. Kettering truly says, they
may vary with what one has had for
dinner. For this reason We do not
attempt giving opinions.
Instead, after talking a bit with
the person who comes to ask concern
ing the stock. VIC attempt TO do two
thinss-first to consider the type Of
investment which will best fit the
finances and the zequirements Of the
individual-next TO place the cold hard

fact concerning the particular stock
under discussion before the person who
has asked for the information.
With this discussion of type of in
vestmcnt, plus that the potential in
vestor would be quite able TO make
decision for himself.
But, after all this has been done
after the facts have been presented,
and a personal opinion very carefully
withheld, the next statement from my
visitor is most often this: Yes, /
see it all quite clearly. But, honestly,
Mr.. Lloyd, what is your opinion in
the matter? Do you think had bet
ter buy some of the stockT
As | said before, most people don't
want facts, they want opinions.
Yesterday / was talking with a
broker who deals in mining issues.
During our conversation be brought
this same condition forward. He
said 1T certainly is strange how the
average investor avoids making judg-
ments based upon facts. Frequently
we get inquiries concerning various
stocks, and we give the exact facts
concerning them. In such instances we
seldom make a sale. But il we say to
prospective client, Here is a stock
that looks good to us. Buy it now,
almost always he will place the order
at once. He seems to be considerably
more interested in our opinion than
he does in the facts concerning the
| issue"
This kind Of confidence. existing
between the investor and the seller Of
securities is a most excellent cOndi'
tion-providing the firm from which
one buys is a firm of high integrity
and unqucstionable business standing.
While science may tolerate opinions
where facts are lacking. this condition
should not obtain in the investment
field. Confidence may supplant facts
here. but opinions never.
The average stock salesman has 0
good supply Of opinions to offer.

Westward District Are Handicapped By Lack of Transportation

A fair estimate of Iron Chinks" in operation in Alaska this season is placed at 250 machines, B. R. Brierly, sales manager for the Smith Cannery Machine Company, of Seattle, stated during his visit in Seward last week. This estimate is based on the num- Der of canneries in the Territory, of which there are 155 The new mod el Iron Chink," of which several are in operation to the Westward this season, are doing splendidly, MT. Brierly said. During his trip to the Bristol Bay region the machines had been turned over for little spurts, during the preliminary run of the salmon, just enough for the various arrangements to tune the machines up and note their operation, which was satisfactory in every sense.
 MT. Brierly and W. E. Peterson, floor foreman and an expert on the machines, who has been with the company for IS years, made the round trip with MT. Brierly, both departing for Southeastern Alaska on the last steamer out of Seward.
 Fish Flooding Canneries.
 H. B. Friele, general manager Of the A. & P Products Co.,, of Seat tie, the owners of the Nakeen can nery in Bristol Bay, whom MT, Bri- erly accompanied to the Westward, received a telegram in Seward just prior to his departure for the South, advising him that the fish were flood ing the canneries, the run starting July 3.
 At Nakeen, the site of the newest cannery in the Bristol Bay region, MT. Brierly said Mr. Friele's com pany has the finest plant it has ever been his good fortune to inspect The plant is of steel construction, in cluding all buildings; has three lines splendid organization and due to 1 its fine location, believes will shat ter all packing records this season for the Bristol Bay district Mir Brierly also inspected the six 'Iron Chinks" at Libbyville. Necessary ad justments to the machines were made at the plants after which instruc tions in operating the new model were given. Numerous other canner ies were visited, coming and going

season is something that Is part and
parcel of the gown or coat to which
1t belongs. In short, 1t is merely a
'bolero effect" Sometimes the sug-
gestion Is only slight. The sketch
shows frock of which this is true.
1t is of blue reps trimmed with green
and red metallic bands and green but
tons. Sometimes, as here. the bolero
is suggested only at the front. Some
times 1t is suggested only at the back.
This Is the case in a certain smart
little frock seen among Premet's Au-
tumn things. Then, too, the bOlero
appears to have been put on in con-
ventienal manner, with the opening In
the front, and sometimes 1t is put on
with the opening at the back. giving a
plain unbroken line across the front.
Germaine of PraiS Is the author OF a
clever little frock Of beige satin. with
plain short skirt. long. close-fitting
sleeves and a bodice that appears to
be formed by a bolero jacket put on
backward. The opening comes at the
back. Beneath the bolero there is a
wide belt of deep tan velvet fastened
at the front with metal buckles, and
there is a high crush collar of this
same velvet.
The bolero Is a fashion that is usu-
ally looked upon as especially suitable
to the very young woman. But 1t
really is a device that may be most
f1attering to older women. The broad
shouldered. wide-hipped, yet angular
woman-who Is SO plentifully repre-
sented In this country-has never ap-
peared at her best until she has worn
frock with an honest and truly bo-
lero. or with what Is often just as in
teresting-a "bolero effect"

Your Feet.

Are your feet always SO comfort
able that you are not conscious of
them at all? II not. do everything
you can to make them SO. for life is
not worth living IL your feet ache.
If you can, go to chiropodist, even
If for only one visit and watch how
he treats the feet. DO not be afraid
to ask questions for you want to take
care of your feet in as professional
a manner as possible. IF you can
not see chiropodist, follow these
directions:
Soak the feet in warm soapy water
for Is minutes. With rough towel,
rub off all callous spots, and rub them
with cold cream to soften the skin.
AS soon as you remove the feet from
the water, place little wads Of wet
cotton over the corns to keep them
soft until you are ready to shave
them off.
Buy a corn knife and very. very
carefully shave off the horny. top
layers of the corns. being very careful
not to cut the live flesh. The corns
will soak and swell, 80 this shaving
Is rot hard. Should you cut the skin
and draw blood. touch the place with
an antiseptic and bind up with clea n
cotton; on no account must dirt get
into such a cut. One chiropodist told
me that drawing a little blood from
a sore corn is a good thing. the blood
being bad. But / don't advise you
to cut yourself on purpose.
Keep a pad Of cotton over a shaved

Asthmatic Wheezes.

A Young business woman went to a
country inn for her vacation. Sew
eral dogs had the run of the house.
Within 4S hours the young woman
was so i'll of asthma that it was neces-
sary to take her home to her phys-
clan. In the city she quickly recov-
cred. Her physician saw no reason
why she should not return to the
country for her vacation. She went
back to the inn. Everybody welcomed
her, including the dogs. Within a few
days the asthma recurred. Again she
was carried home, this time to remain
in bed a month. After that she was
able to visit another resort in the
country, where she regained her usual
good health. There. were no dogs in
this second country place. No one
thought OF that at the time, however.
Months afterward this business
woman built herself a country home
near the ocean, and there she thrived.
though she occasionally got off a few
wheezes Her sister happened to be
present on one such occasion, and
sister wondered whether a dog could
have anything to do with it, for she
had noticed that the wheeling usually
occurred when a neighbor's dog had
visited the cottage.
This theory of sisters set every
called that every remembered asth-
matte seizure had occurred soon after
association with a dog. This was
considered as of academic interest
only, until one day the family stop
ped at roadhouse for dinner. There
the luckless woman had a moderate
attack of the old asthma. One Of the
party remarked that If she did not
know better she would assume there
was a dog on the premises. There
was apparently no dog-until a party
arose from a nearby table and left
the Groom followed by their dog, which
had been lying quietly under the
table.
The plot thickeps and the story
ends here.
Not a few cases Of spasmodic or
bronchial asthma are caused by eman-
tions (danger) from dogs, cats, fowls,
parrots, canaries. mice, horses and
other animals whose emanations dan
