Editorial Comment
A Debt Of Honor
Chicago Tribune)

Jacob Bum is dead. He was president of the
Sangamon Meter company, the Illinois Watch com
pany, and the Marine bank of Springfield, ILL., Men
of greater wealth and greater Importance in tn
business world die every few days and receive only
the briefcst mention in the back pages Of the news
papers Mr.. Bunn's death was recorded the first
pages.
In 1878, nearly fifty years ago. the bank of which
Mr.. Bunn's father president failed. 1t was by
no means dishonorablc failure. There was no le
gal obligation and most men would say no moral OBJ
legation the part Of the family Of the bankrupt
to repay the dcpositcrs Nevertheless the family
headed by Jacob Bum, who has just died, assumed
the obligation as a debt Of honor. Last Christmas
the dcpostors or their heirs were repaid in full
principal and interest 1t required million dollars
to clear the slate.
The sum large, but it not the size of the
payment alone which made it significant. Much
significant the recognition Of the fact tina,
the debts, though legally Dead still debts until
they were paid. At the time of the failure the de-
positors had received some 20 cents the dollar
The family honor, so the Bunns felt, involved in
the failure to pay in full. The family honor was
something which could not be compromised.
Mr.. Bum and the members of his family might
have used their million dollars to endow public IL
brary, an art museum hospital, or some other phil
anthropy We venture the prediction that the re
payment of their debt of honor has been of ia,
greater service to their community. 1t has fur
nished an example which wilA be remembered long
after the names and deeds of weather. men ant
women have been forgotten forever.

The Old Master

You read that Walter johnson, now pitching his
twentieth year in the big leagues won his 4OOth
ball game the other day. You read. too. that the
victory his sixth out of seven starts this year.
How long, you WONDER will the Old Master go on
They said he through years ago, but his twenty
three wins in 1924 were tho biggest factor in Wash
ngton's capture Of the pcnnant that year. They
said he through after losing his first two world
series starts that fall Yet in the final game with
the Giants he went in relief pitcher and for
orn hope and won impershablc glory by setting
McGraw's men on their heads
They said he through after the Pirates haG
massacred him in the deciding game of the world
series last fall. Yet here he is, in his 39th year.
still the pitching Of the Washington team still!
the biggest hero of American boyhood.
And further than that you have it on the word O.!
every ball player who has played with or against
him, every umpire who has known him. that Walter
Johnson is supreniely gentleman. Billy Evans, the
famous umpire, says he has called lots of bad balls
on Walter without the big fellow much as MUIR
murng.
Day in and day out he gives his best. And if h"
wins he wins like gentleman and if he loses he
loses with smile. without complaint. They make
few like Walter johnson. May the day come when
we read that he has won his 50Oth big league game.

Taking a 100000 Loss
Chicago Journal of Commerce

Chicago Journal Of Commerce)
Self government in business is much discussed
nowadays. 1t was the basic subject at the annual
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States last week. At this opportune time, the NOV
ing picture industry affords striking example of it
Cecil B. DcMille was preparing to make picture
based the Flood. 1t is said he had spent 100000
in his preparations. This statement may be an ex-
aggeraton. and again it may not; for the moving
picture industry does spend great sums to accom-
plish its purpose. And Mr.. DeMillc in preparing
for picture based the Flood; had spent lot of
money, whether it was 100000 or less:
But meanwhile Warner Brothers had made d
statement of certain facts to Will Hays, GEAR Of
the industry; and Mr.. Hays, after investigation,
found that the statement was accurate According
~ he transmitted it to Mr. DcMillc. The statement
was that year ago Warner Brothers had announced
they were preparing to make picture to be called
"Noah's Ark" and to be based the Flood. I'm
| foresecable delays have prevented the firm from
starting to make the contemplated picture.
The Flood is a historical fact. There is nothing
unique in the idea Of using it background for
story, whether tcld between the covers Of book,
within the confines Of painting, upon the stage,
in the films. But in the moving picture industry,
where featured pictures require huge investments it
is commonplace that an expensive production can
be turned into enormous loser If another picture
on the same theme is issued at about the same time.
Therefore when producing company announces
| that it is planning picture based certain his
tcrical event. other companies must for the time be
ing treat this bare announcement il it amounted
! TO = copyright upon unique idea
1 And that is exactly What Mr.. DeMiIie has done
After having spent great stiin Of money to pre-
pare for his picture BASED upon the Flood he can
GELS his plans for the production.
Here is an example of new code of ethics de-
veoped ~ an industry to meet its spcc9l necessi-
ties. Self-gcvernmert within an industry fosters
the development Of such code. by assuring each
producer that i he treats his fellow producers

Here's 10 Lillian

From the rocks of Cape Girls Nez to the cliffs Of
Dover stretch more than twenty miles of rough and
treachcrous water.
The English Channel, conqueror Of hundreds Of
hardy swimmers who have pitted against it their
strength and stamina and nerve.
In fifty years Of trying. Il handful Of
,nen have succeeded in swimming it. They are very
taw-somcthng like half dozen. They are the i'm
mortals.
Women have tried it, too-scores Of them But
not one has succeeded Last summer Gertrude Edcre
dared it. and it was thought that if any woman could
do it Miss Ederle could. But she failed-not so
much because of waning strength the nausea that
uvcrpowcfed her.
And now comes Lillian Cannon from Baltimore.
Since 1915, when she girl of IL, Miss Cannon
has had visions of some day seeing her name in
print as one Of those who had made the channel
crossing.
She is on her way to France now. where she will
train for eight weeks before slipping off the rocks
Of Gris-Ncz and setting out for England. With her
will swim two dogs--Chcsapeakc Bay dogs regarded
us the greatest swimmers in the world
Miss Cannon thinks she do it. because she is
young, strong, confident superb and untiring
swimmer Moreover. she swan across Chesapeake
Bay--a distance Of % milcs--durng squall
She knows something Of the shifting tides Of the
channel. Knows that the slightest breeze sets tho
channel i motion. Knows that she is confronted by
one uf the most difficult tasks girl attempted
Kind still she is confident. They raise swimmers
down in the Chesapeake Bay region and the old bay
itself is not the easiest thing tn swim when the
weather is rough
Bring OH your channel!' she cries, and every
American with sporting blood in his veins hopes she
will conquer it, hopes the honor CT being the first
woman to swim the famous channel will rest the
shoulders of a fellow American.

Transatlantic Photos

The perfection Of process of radio-tccphOny, by
means of which pictures could be successfully sent
by radio has long been the dream of many inventors
and the development Of landline pictures on
commercial basis gave great encouragement to ex-
pgrmenters in the radio field
Now, with the apparatus of the Radio Corpora
ton Of America. invented by Captain Richard H..
Ranger functCning we'll enough to justify that
corporation in nauguratng a trans Atlantic radio
picture service between the United States and Eng
land, new epoch in world communication begins.
1t is which will have profound effect on in
terlrational commerce and public opinion.
BY means Of the service, which is open to
the general public, pictures, style pictures.
drafts, checks and other commercial papers may b.
transmitted with saving to the newspapers and
commercial interests Of about ten days, con-
sumed in the trans Atlantic mail system The cost,
tits true is somewhat high at present, but there is
no doubt that, the service becomes popular,
the cost will be reduced that the service will be
available for sending large numbers Of photographs
by picture services, newspapers and advertisers.
Among the first interests to take advantage of the
new radio picture service the department and
ladies' apparel stores, who had transmitted to then,
the latest of Paris creations. BY this method Amer
lean firms hope to maintain almost hourly buc
tin of style trend from Paris, the information be
used in influencing American women to buy their
clothing in the United States instead Of abroad.
The greatest advantage Of the radio service OF
course will be in the promotion of greater interest
in international affairs. With news pictures avail
aTlc within few short hours readers both sides
of the ocean will acquire liveer interest in the
events that influence international relations.
