FAC KING WILL
GIVE WEALTH

Bernhard Baron, at ~, Says
Riches Do Not Bring

By DAVID Nj. CHURCH,

BRIGHTON, Eng, July There
-Is no happiness in wealth, says
Bernhard Baron, England's cigar
cite king, and so at the age of
seyenty-four he has decided to give
away the huge fortune which he
has amassed by years of toll.
Baron worked on cigar mak1ng
bench with the late Samuel Comp
ers and knew days Of great pr1Va-
ton in New York many years ago.
He eventually attained affluence ana
then great wealth and all OF the
comforts that go with wealth, put
found these things empty and ne
now says he intends to spend ms
fortune for the benefit and happ1-
ness of others.
"Since it has become known

more money than think any man
should have" Baron said. 1T Is

with my money as l can.
"I don't think wealth ever &C.
Cured to me when I started work
at an early age. In those days
earned a meager living by rolling
cigars alongside Sam Gompers.
'Then, one day an idea occurred
to me for the rapid productlon OF
cigarettes, and / marketed my in
vention. Since then l have been
carried or a perfect tide OF fortune.
Wealth has come to me until 1t mas

my only desire is to benefit others

MANY people may have felt that
I am giving my money away
merely for show, but this is not 50.
Up until a few days ago no one but
the recipients knew of the gifts.
and I prefer that no one else SHOULD
have known.

Ends "Ponzi's" Jail Trade

BATAVIA, n. Y, July sheriff
Ware, aroused by complaints re-
garding alleged operations of M.
Earle Williams, convicted "Ponzi,"
who is awaiting disposition of an
appeal, has decreed the Genesee
county jail shall no longer serve as
a ''maiI-order house."
Reports said Williams has been
coducting thriving mail.order
business in collar buttons, fountain
pens and ties. All this will be
stopped, the sheriff said. He denied
he had been wearing Williams ties
or using his pens.

WEALTH AND ART

T ONDON papers comment bitterly on
l. recent art sales which threaten to
make New York an art center by sheer
force of money. as against the ancient
centers of culture What right has mere
money, gained by the luck of war, to shift
the center OF gravity of art and culture
also?
1t is common complaint, but forget
full one.
The galleries, and even the great homes
of England, are full of masterpieces of
Italian, Spanish and Flemish art. How
did they get them2 BY money and the
fortunes of war, In former generations.
The foundation of every aristocracy.
of every art movement or collection, of all
the things which afterward look down on
'mere money" has always been wealth.
The only time wealth Is vulgar" is when
1t is new
If we do to England by wealth small
part of what England did to Spain by
wealth, our descendants may be the ones
to despise the vulgarity Of some later peo-
pie rich enough to do the same thing
to us.

KEEPING THE FACTS
STRAIGHT

A LITTLE sidelight on the aircraft
~ row.
Colonel Mitchell just now is engaged in
telling the world that Uncle Sam is but
pulling babe when it comes TO building
planes and flying them He would have
us copy the British idea.
\ cable from London says Brtain's
new bombing planes, known ms the Fly
ing Foxes" are to be equipped with 400
horsepower motors, American-built and
American-designed The plane itself, we
are told, is to be patterned after the
American model made famous in last
years Schneider cup race.
1T is commonly acknowledged among
airmen on this side that European coun-
tries would find it we'll nigh impossible
TO build planes equal to those which for
several years have captured the Schneider
cup" says cable from England.
They believe Colonel Mitchell may be
justified in some of his criticisms of the
American organization, but they hold
American planes and motors in the high
est esteem.

WASTED TIME

T UTHER BURBANK estimates that
IL notwithstanding handshakers cost
him $4,000 in lost time last year
1t would be interesting to estimate how
much the same genial habit cost the
American people in President Coolidges
time.
President Coolidge, unlike most public
men, apparently likes it, and 1t does not
wear on his nerves. But even with that
fortunate temperament, it Is a shocking
waste of time, for a man whose instaats
are important to all of us.
The president belongs to all the people,
and not, even for brief moment, to any
one of them. Nobody should see him
merely for his personal qualification, or
for anything but which only the president
personally can do.

THE SAFE WAY

THE Better Business Bureau estimates
i that at least billion dollars of fake
securities will be foisted on the American
public this year
All of them will be sold to people who
are trying to get rich faster and easier
than II can be done And oil of them
could be prevented by following one sim
pie rule:
ASK YOUR BANKER
Your banker knows, or has means Of
finding out
Or, if you won't take your bankers adj
vice. and absolutely must gamble on the
other fellows game-borrow the price Of
a third-class steamboat ticket and go to

BuLLS-EYE OF
PREPARATION

TT WOULD not weaken but strengthen
/ their cause should Colonel Mitchell and
his fellows, who advocate a single and
comprehensive department of defense, cut
out the possibility of war with Great Brit
ain and get down to brass tackS' by CEN
tering their opinions and statistics on the
possibility of war with Japan or Russia,
In the superstition of war with Great
Britain there is no alarm for the Ameri-
can people, no argument for spending their
money on national defense Such war
is not only impossible, but inconceiyable,
unless we are ready 10 concede that pres
ent-day civilization is merely barbarism
camouflaged, in which case both Britain
and America had better give hell per-
petual mortgage on civilization and arm TO
the teeth for promiScuous slaughter of all
peoples who would impede the march Of
barbarism.
Ii would mean a cataclysm in the life
of mankind and Justify another worldwide
destruction rs hot rs anything in Biblical
propheSy. There is no more likelihood of
BritiSh-American war than there is of
war by Canada upon the United States
Common sense, mutual interests and
regard for justice will settle sll British
sAINcIlCdl ulleIeNCeS. 1t Is, indeed, utmost
certainty that an attack upon America
by any Asiatic or European power would
find Great Britain Americas active ally.
That Great Britain is vastly superior to
America, as to navy and aeronautics, is
a matter of common knowledge and the
fact does not cause tremor in one Ameri-
can breast.
There is no wisdom in, no necessity for
considering and planning for defense
against Great Britain. Colonel Mitchell
and the experts supporting him all testify
that our possible enemy will come by way
of the Pacific That enemy must be met
by preparations especially fitted to his
case.
American effort should be centered upon
him, devoted exclusively to him and prose
cuted to the limit The Pacific is a field
of combat in which America would have
an advantage, amongst other things. in
the involvement of the interests of Great
Britain, Australia and Canada
Verify Great Britain is about as much
concerned in keeping the Pacific out of
Asiatic control as is America
