took on aspects of significance seldom
considered by the folks who pass
within sight of them daily, as the lee
turer wove the story of each about
the deftly colored representations on
the screen.
Natural scenes about the city were
not neglected. Dogwood Towering in
the Capitol Grounds, amaryllis at the
Department of Agriculture, the cherry
blossoms at Potomac Park each came
in for portrayal and attention.
The security evidenced by the very
architecture Of the Treasury Building,
the grace and simple dignity of the
Georgian mansion to its west where
lives the President. the magnificence
OF the Italian Renaissance architec-
ture of the Library Of Congress, all
were stressed during the lecture.
One Of the high lights of the lee.
ture was a display of two photographs
OF Abraham Lincoln, one showing him
in the vigor of his life and the second
taken about a month before his death.

more than the market value Of it's
stocks and bonds.
Brookhart points out that when
the Interstate Commerce Commission
fixed a tentative value of nineteen
billion dollars on the railroads, the
stock and bond market value was
only twelve billion dollars.
The trouble with Brookhart's
theory, as with most others, is that
it can't always be depended on to
work for the man who demands a
low valuation-any more than the
railroads reproduction cost theory
will work to the advantage of the
railroads if prices ever drop to for
mer levels. The late w. ]. Bryan,
for instance, started out arguing
for the reproduction theory and later
had to switch to the original cost
theory.
Most low valuatiopists believe
that one Of the biggest issues at
stake is involved in the likelihood
that the government will buy the
railroads some time in the future.
They believe that both they and the
railroads are giving duel considera-
ton to the question whether on that
distant day the fair valuation is
fixed at ten billion dollars or forty
billions.

Editorial Comment
Signs Versus Science


An elderly Chippewa of Northern Minnesota
forecasts short, mild winter, basing his prog
nostcaton on the usual signs. The muskrats
are building small and flimsy houses, the fur
bearers coats are nothing to brag about, and
creatures that hoard food for the winter are
stocking up lightly, he has observed. 1t is also
possible that he has been watching the white
man and noticing that the latter was not cutting
as much stove-wood as usual.
The traditional signs, then, all point to rela-
lively bland Boreas, on his way to pay rela-
lively short visit. Time was when they would
have carried more weight. Of late years science
has been discrediting these signs pointing out
that the muskrat's building operations hinge
largely on the nature and abundance Of avail.
able materials; that the fur-bearers diet and
the state Of it's health and not the weather out
look, determine the thickness Of it's coat that
the hoarders store heavily when food is abun-
dant and lightly when food is scarce.
We don't know whether the Indian is right,
or whether science is right In this instance
we hope the Indian is right. A year ago, when
the Indian signs all pointed the other way, we
were hoping that science was right.

.Jazzing Tn Politics

The way to be elected to a political office
these days lies not in the way Of speeches
about taxes, reforms, economies or national is
sues. 1t you're running for office you needn't
memorize any fine and floWery speeches about
this and that. The proper method of cam
paigning these days is to hire a brass band,
a vaudeville troupe and couple of dozen beau
tiful girls with flags. Don't speak; entertain.
Senator Reed Smoot Of Utah. spellbinder
of very fair ORDER was delivering an address
on tax reduction in Philadelphia the other
night.
"Upholding Secretary Mellon" he began, Il

"Rat-a-tat-tat! Boom, boomv Then the

have put his candidate into strong position if

and hang by his teeth on whirling wheel, or
something like that.

Flattcry With a TrOwel

Your German, when he wants to, knows ex-
actly how to get on the good side of his fellow
Europeans.
Take cooking, for instance. Everybody,
who knows anything at all, is well aware Of the
fact that English cooking is not cooking. It's
crime. It's an atrocity. It's the essence of
how to spoil good meat, good vegetables, good
fruit by tossing them into boiling water and
producing a sodden, flatcid, tasteless mess
this and the editor did not bat an eye:
"Of course, it isn't true that English cook
ing is bad. People say it is, but that is black
lie-one of those lies Which divide nations and
stir up wars"
AS a matter of cold fact, it probably is near
err the truth to say British cooking is what
makes the British such good fighters when
war comes around their way. They get up
from the table SO angry and so dissatisfied that
they just have to enlist and take it out of some
blinking foreigners hide.

Questions and Answers
Question: J. P. T. asks: "How
can a bow-leeged person. straighten
his legs? I am eighteen years old,
but have been bow.legged for only
about eight months. Can this con-
dition be caused by lifting or carry
ing too heavy objects in your work :"
Answer: You can help your con-
dition somewhat by taking various
kinds of leg exercises, such as the
deep knee bend, long walks, etc.
Carrying heavy objects could only
affect you If you are not using
enough bone building elements in
your diet.
Question: G. M. M. ask: evil
you please tell me . remedy for
granulated eyelids
Answer: Granulated eyelids some-
times start from q local infection
rubbed in by soiled fingers, but
infection of any Of the mucous men,
branes is generally only possible
from an over-acidity Of the stomach
and intestines. The irritation Of this
hyperacidity seems to be able to
affect any of thu mucous membranes
such as those Of the nose, throat
and eyes. Local treatments should
be used on the granulated lids, but
the constitutional arrangements
must also be eliminated before q
permanent cure can be expected.

Washington, Nov. IA clipping
from western newspaper tells the
story of prominent senator who
recently made a speech in hostile
county seat. The occasion appar-
emily was a frost and according to
this newspapers report, the senator
was accosted by the sheriff on the
street and in the presence Of numer-
Gus witnesses heard himself called q
liar, crook and other bad names.
The senator started for the sheriff
and the sheriff threatened to kick
his head off. 1t was all very undigni-
fled and humiliating and the senator
retreated.
The story would indicate, if true,
that some senators who figure
rather Importantly down here aren't
always such-a-much at home. It may
be an untrue version, however, so we
won't mention the senator's name.
This particular paper is a weekly and
violently inimical to the senator.
The administrations proposal to
retain the automobil and other So
called nuisance taxes" may not be
quite so terrible as some persons
would have us believe. Nuisance
taxes" as applied to automobiles and
admissions seems rather misnomer.
"All taxes are nuisances," said
former secretary of the treasury. II
think it's both NOR of a nuisance
and more unjust to tax the neces-
sites Of life and let the luxuries
such as automobiles and prize-fight
tickets go free. It's better to tax
an automobile owner for his JOY
rides than man who can't afford
car for his bread and his clothes.
We don't seem to realize that the
corporation taxes on the big fellow
are always passed right down to
the last ultimate consumer"
Senator Smith Wildman Brook

Prediction that the "saturation point" for
automobiles soon will be reached if the Ameri-
can people keep on buying cars at the present
rate, is about as ridiculous as saying that no
more books can be sold beyond certain date
because very person has read one
Huntley Sinclair, assistant professor of mar
keting at Washington university, pointed out
the other day that statistics now indicated
there never would be any saturation point for
motor vehicles. Demand, of course, will fluc-
tuate, but that rule applies to all commodities.
With replacement increasing steadily from
year to year, population gaining, markets in
other countries expanding, Dr. Sinclair ex-
planned that if by 1880 there are 3O,OOO,O00 We
hicles in the country, mo new buyers will be
needed in the United States" But that doesn't
mean saturation point, because there's nothing
g prevent man from buying car, or book,
twice.
