which means that it couldn't print
sales as fast as they occurred. Some
body bought and sold 20O.00O shares
Of United States Steel, 100000 shares
OF General Motors.
MOTOR and other stocks are all
AVA right, if you know WHAT you
are buying, what VALUES is. be-
hind your purchase. Heaven help the
man who buys the wrong stuff, the
wrong motor stocks, especially.
The first touch of hard tilnes will
freeze up the sale of all but few
automobiles, as the first frost freezes
the little shallow pend.
II you are gambler. LOOK OUT
In Wall Street manly are ca led anu
few are chosen. The few know what
they are doing, the many don't.
EOR those who have the right
! things and that control from the
inside these days of prosperity and
frenzied buying are wonderfully
happy days.
CONSIDER Standard Oil, for in
~ stance. A little while ago our
savage, relentless government deter
mined-please don't laugh-to kill
all the big octopuses, chopped Stand
ard Oil up into many little pieces.
Our little piece, "socony," which is
short for Standard Oil Compeny of
New York, is now capitalized at
s235, 100000. and the cheerful pro-
posal yesterday was to raise that to
s3I5,00o,OOo.
Those that own the S23j.000.00O
would get instead stock certificates
worth 1915, 900. 600, and tnere is NO
income tax on that-the cour. has SO
decided.
IT is different with the small doctor,

the morning, to see croCpy child,
Worrying himself to death early. IL
he manages TO make $4,000 extra by
Shortening his life, there is income
tax ON THAT and ne isn't allowed
TO deduct anything for depletion"
either.
THE profound Cyrus ii. L. Curtis
i papers say Republican troubles
in Indiana may "blast the Ctolids,
third term" Where does Mr.. Curtis
get the Coolidge third term?
Mr.. Coolidge has been elected Pres
ident ONCE. The chances are 80
10 ! that he will be elected secon1
time. When reelected in 1928, that
will give him his SECOND term, no
third term about it.
WHAT happens in Indiana won't
w interfere in the least with. the
Coolidge SECOND term in 1923. AS
things now stand, with the Democrats
barely strong enough to cut each
others threats, you might take In
diana or any other state away from
Coolidge and he wouldn't miss it..
IN the chemical laboratory of CO.
i lumbia University 5000 rats wonder
what has happened. They are fed
strange things, that the learned DIR.
Sherman, professor of food chemistry,
may learn what foods proiong human
life.
The sad part is that after the rats
have tried all kinds of food and indi-
gestion, they must die.
OUR humble brothers with nervous
" noses and long tails are a nui-
sance and menace, spread disease,
destroy property. But they are not
useless.
In the Rockefeller Institute able
concentrating on war
against disease, destroy many white
mice and rats in that great war.
White rats and mice are valuable
animals in the study Of cancer. Even
the kind-hearted vivi-sectionist will
admit that it would be worth while
for ten million rats to die of
cancer, if their deaths could save
from cancer an equal number Of
women.
