Annuity Increase Assured.

An eleventh-hour agreement on the
retirement measure, placing the maxi
mum of annuities at 81 900 instead OF
1920 as under the present law and
$1,000 as proposed by the Senate meas
ure, is gratifying outcome of efforts
that have been long maintained to lib
eralize the system and that appeared
on the eve Of adjournment to be hope.
less. A deadlock had developed in
conference between the houses that
seemed unlikely to be broken. Sus.
picion was felt and freely expressed
that the administration in the interest
of economy preferred the complete
failure Of the plan for a larger an.
nuity. Yesterdays agreement on the
House bill was an effective answer to
that suggestion.
An increase of $3.50 a year in the
maximum annuity, while not so much
rs the annuitants had reason to ex-
pect will be most welcome. All the
annuitants are in urgent need of this
advance in their retirement stipends.
They can barely maintain themselves.
They were retired at fractions Of their
pay on the old scale, which was low
in comparison with all the other
workers. Since their retirement the
cost Of living has advanced materially
but their annuities have remained sta
tionary until this present increase.
The adoption of the House PROPOSE
ton with a maximum of 81. 900 should
not be regarded as a conclusion OF
this matter. A further revision OF
the scale should be undertaken, II not
at the final session Of the present,
then in the next Congress. But hope
for such further revision should not
be aroused only to be dashed. It is suf-
ficient to be grateful for the present
change of scale, which is a happy Is
sue out Of the Affections of the Gov
eminent annuitants, who have been
for months past kept in tormenting
uncertainty. Sincere thanks are due
to those who have steadfastly sought
this outcome in Congress.

THINK 1T OVER
Consult Your Great. Ora ndfather
BY William Mather Le,ois,
President George Washington University.

Can you without considerable
thought give the maiden name of
your great-grandmother on your
mothers side? If you can you are
an exception to the general rule of
people in America.
Ancestor worship is not a habit
with us. And ancestor worship is
not a bad thing. When the home
disintegrates the Nation is near dis
solution. The home is always
strengthened by pride in family ira

son to continue and so on down, what
an interesting record it would make
in a few generations!
Israel Zangwill once said that
Americans are the best half-educated
people in the world. And we are
that, because in our busy and en-
crossing lives we do not take proper
note of the past. We love to boast
that we are self-made men and
women. But we are nothing of the
kind. Behind us stretch generations
that have struggled and suffered and
achieved that we might enjoy the
fruits of their labor.

Emile Coue.

DR.. Emile Coue actually gave him
self to humanity. His death, which
occurred Friday at Nancy, France,
was due to overwork in his ministra-
tons for the physical betterment OF
mankind. He literally wore himself
out by his lectures and his healing
sessions. His own formula Of auto
suggestion. which he made famous
through two continents. could not
save him. Day by day. in every
way" he was doing good and drawing
upon his powers Unfortunately.
Coueism Is nothing new, but it was
newly and catchily formulated. There
have been many schools of therapeutic
autosuggestion. Coue was only one
of numerous proponents of the idea
that man holds within himself the
power of health-keeping and health
restoring. He did not profess to be
miracle man." He was modest in
his claims. All he asserted was that
people could declare their own indie
pendence of disease and re-establish
themselves Yet ne did not go so
far as to induce the hope for the cure
of the radical arrangements that af
f1ict humanity.
In his two appearances in this coun-
try DIR. Coue addressed great multi
tudes of people. On his first visit
there was a larger response to his
invitation than on his second. Un-
questionably Coueism was on that
first occasion more or less Of fad,
but many people gained their first in
spiration of the power of self.sugges-
ton and derived substantial and last
ing benefit from it. One result of
his two tours Of America was the es-
tablishment of Institutes in many of
the larger cities.
This kindly man. who started as
a pharmacist and became a psychol.
ogist. has brought comfort to count
less people. He has passed at the
age of seventy, closing an unselfish
career for which his name will be hon.
ored by millions.

Ticker Tape and Welcomes.

For several years whenever notabies
and heroes arrive in New York City
and are escorted up Broadway in tri-
umphal procession the practice has
prevailed of welcoming these dis
tinguished people by the throwing Of
ticker tape out of the windows of the
skyscrapers in the financial district.
Thousands Of miles Of narrow paper
strips have been thus unrolled through
the air. Tons of this improvised "con-
fettf' have been poured upon the
streets. Nobody has ever estimated
the cost Of this form Of demonstration,
but now come the officials Of the New
York Stock Exchange with q protest
against this waste. Ticket tape is
made Of q good quality Of paper. The
ordinary string confetti is of cheap
grade. 1t Is now proposed to sub.
stitute 1t and to keep the downtown
offices supplied with it in order to
lessen the drain upon the tape stock.
Warnings against the use of tape
have done no good. The occu-
pants Of the Broadway skyscrapers
have q passion for showing their
