THE BEST TIMES

Some reporter asked Chauncey Depew, on his 93rd
birthday, a question about 'the good old times
There is no more rotten phrase replied Depew.
All tunes are good times. The present time is the
greatest time OF all. These good tines
vi course they People who look to the past for
perfection, lamentng their time not only lack
historical understanding but lack practicality.
The present will doubtless stand comparison with
any previous age, when every factor is considered Ii
we seem to lack spiritual progress have made pen-
ty OF progress in other fields and have the stage all
set now tor progress in spiritual and ideastic things.
AND there is IN this at least general spirit OF
kindness that never prevailed before.
But we might ignore all the improvements the
present has brought and fall back this supreme
fac-that the is better for than any other
time, past or future could possibly be- because it is
the time that is 1t is the time we have for our
life dramatic time in which live our present
life and improve upon the past and contribute to the
making of better future.
The present is always BEST because it is only in
the present that man act and grow and make

THE GREATEST CITY

A writer who has been studying American in
dustrlal section sometimes compared to the German
Ruhr makes remarkable prophecy about it.
In another hafcentury he says, there will be what
he calls "a continuous village" starting at Unontown
Pa, extending to the west and north in great cres
cent through Pittsburgh Youngstown, Cleveland To-
edo and Detroit to Pontiac and Flnt-a town AGO
miles long and 60 miles wide in the thckest part
reaching into three states.
That will be ''some village" 1t really seems pos
sibe, judged by past development and present con-
dtons.
Such growth will be highly profitable for business
in that 1t will immense profits in real
estate. Will it be good for living conditions? That
living in city of about 10000 square miles will seem
dreadful.

COSTLY CARELESS MAILING

1t cost the Philadelphia Postoffce S3OOeO in 1926
to take care of careessy ilegiby addressed mail
force of 13 clerks devote their entire time to such
work Other large cities probably have the same
.perlence in only slightly varying degree.
AS tribute to the resourcefuness and skill of those
clerks 1t is boasted that only in million letters
mailed is ultimately lost.
One questions whether the letters so saved from the
oblivion OF the dead letter office worth anywhere
$4,000 multiplied by the number of large post
-offlces doing such work Really important
mail is likely to be carefully addressed At least we
hope it is.
1t is almost awesome TO contemplate the trustful-
ness and carelessness of the mal-sendng public. In
spite Of plainly given and oftrepeated instructions
about addressing correctly and clearly, about putting
return addresses mail, and about giving the local
postofice your change of address when you move
surprisingly large section of the public goes right
ahead ignoring all the rules and calmly trusting to
. Uncle Sam to make up for its deficiencies.
Perhaps If the various poStoffices didn't do such
good job retrieving otherwise lost mail, the public
would wake up and more of it's own RESPONSE

MANY GRAINS
OF SALT

Pola Negri has just gone
through the experience of acting
put q tragic incident in her own
life.
Years ago in Warsaw when she
was making her first appearance
on the legitimate stage a young
Polish artist sought to paint her
picture.
Their daily visits together de-
veloped into an affair of deep
affection. Before the painting
was completed the artist was
taken i'll. He died with Miss
NegTi sitting at his bedside, a
death indirectly due to his struggle
with poverty and hunger.
In her latest production, "The
Woman on Trial. Miss Negri
Is in love with young artist
In, Paris. He paints her portrait.
Poverty and illness bring him to
the edge of the grave. But her
loyalty does not falter. She takes
o means. at tremendous sacrifice
TO herself, of obtaining money to
care for him, namely marrying
. wealthy man whom she does
not love and whose jealousy nearly
wrecks her life.
The emotional scenes, together.
with the poignancy of memories,
were very trying on the star.
Mauritz Stiller, director, says she
was on the verge of hysteria
after enacting the role which re.
called a really tragic incident in
her girlhood.

NEW YORK. May 23-Operations
for the rise were resumed on the Curb
Exchange at the outset of the week.
Bullish demonstrations were carried
on, not only in special issues, which
had been the procedure throughout
last week, but in groups which were
thought to offer best chance for spec
ulatiVe profit.
There were no rev developments in
the business situation over the week
end to account for the persistent de-
mand, and apparently nothing new
was needed. The market was moving
forward under its own momentum,
and no attempt was made to check the
rise.
One of the outstanding features OF
the proceedings was the sudden favor
in which pipe line issues as. a group
were looked upon. Large cash sur
pluses back of these issues offered the
possibility of extra disbursements to
share owners, particularly in the case
of Indiana Pipe Line. which went for
ward into new high ground above 72.
Very little Northern Pipe Line was OBJ
tainabe above So. and Eureka Pipe
recorded a gain of 2 points when it
u
had another of its characteristic sharp
upturns into new high territory for
gain of points.
Practically all utility issues recorded
gains, with Electric Bond and Share,
Consolidated Gas of Baltimore and
United Gas and Improvement at new
tops. The desire to get in the market
on the buying side of these issues
was so urgent that even international
Utilities class ''B" was bid up to
new high at 51s for a gain of approx.
mately ~ points. A rise of this pro.
portion in such a low-priced issue was
particularly significant.
The new Financial and Industrial
Corporation common stock shot for
ward almost three points to it's best
price and new tops were established in
Gobel, Grand Stores and Selanex first
preferred. Record prices for Western
Maryland first preferred were CO.
incident with excited speculation in
the junior issues on the Stock Ex-
change.
About the only outstanding eXcep-
ton to the general tendency was Deere
common, which was subjected to
heavy profit-taking following last
weeks rise of more than 10 points.

Million Visit France.

That more than 100000 tourists
visited France last year, was recently
shown by official French statistics.
No figures of those from Central Eu-
rope and South America were given
but visitors from all other parts of
the world numbered 1,112,S48. Tour
lists from the United States num-
bered 157,6S0, in addition to $4,000
that travelled third class. Many of
the 419,262 from Great Britain were
who visited England first.
Some of the 461,332 from Spain were
from Great Britain. 1t is estimated
that the visitors spent more than
13 billions and a half in pounds and
dollars. In 1920 tourists left only 4
billions in France.

MIGHT BOOST LOANS.

NEW YORK, May % P.-Con-
sidable speculation has developed re-
garding the possible increase in
brokers' loans following the issuance
of the 40 per cent stock dividend on
United States Steel common week
hence. Preliminary estimates range
from $55OOO,O0O to $120,000.000. The
stock is now traded in on a when
issued basis, with only a relatively
small margin required by brokers.
This margin will have to be increased
to approximately IS per cent of the
quoted value when the stock is issued.
The net debit in the money market
will be cut down somewhat by reason
of the fact that many large banking
houses have bought the old stock and
sold the new to cover their commit
menfs.
