THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Boundry Posts in Spending.


The clue to current prosperity in
the United States is found in mass
production, and the economic basis of
mass production is mass consumption.
The spending power of the American
people Is what keeps the wheels of
the Nations factories whirring.
The effect of the high scale of buy
ing or ships, and shoes and sealing
wax has been a steady rise in the
standard Of living. Each year the
popular conception of what are lux
uries and what are essentials change.
Ice boxes and bath tubs, which few
decades ago were looked upon as
symbols of affiuence, are now taken
as much for granted by the ordinary
mortal as the air he breathes.
The average American Is buying
more and better things than ever be-
tofe. with the expansion of the
national income in recent years, there
'ias been corresponding growth of
the desires and wants of the people.
The average consumers dollar is
being allocated in new ways. Auto
mobiles, safety raZors, cameras, radios,
telephones, electric washing machines,
electric refrigeration, vacuum clean
ers-these are a few of the more
obvious additions to the household
effects of the normal American family.
Economy and Wages.
They have been provided for in two
ways. First, by marked increase in
the real wages of workingmen. And,
secondly, by Encouragement of the
items in the family budget. There
has been some disposition to econo-
mize on such articles as food and
I-kL IN, n-1A 10 fob -
expenditures.
In order to facilitate purchases, new
devices have been arranged to give
consumers the benefit of bank credit,
which prior to the war was available
in large way only to producers and
distributors, not to consumers. The
effect of the partial payment plan, at

Not Orgy Of Spending.
In spite of the unprecedented volume
of consumption in recent years, there
has been little tendency to describe II
as an orgy of spending. Even large
scale spending is socially healthy If 1t
does not interfere with saving. Dur
ing the same period, savings, as re-
flected by life insurance statistics. saw
ings bank, building loan and bond
sales figures, have also attained new
high records.
The individual family can establish
the same tests. 1t can know definitely
that 1t is extravagant II current high
living is interfering with the savings
program. A proper budget should fall
well within the family income.
American prosperity exceeds that OF
Europe because the people have the
capacity and the desire to spend
money. The great need in Europe is
to increase the effective wants of the
public.
And, yet the passion for spending
dulls many Americans imaginations
Although we live in a money age, we
can attain the highest values without
spending. Visits to atr museums, lis
tening to lectures. romping joyfully
through the city parks-these and q
hundred other genuinely fine opportu
mites in every city are as free as the
air to the individual with imagination
enough to grasp them.

Inside Story Told

Cline, chief of detectives of the Los
Angeles police department, who led the
hunt for William E. Hickman, con
fessed killer of Marian Parker, and
who brought his prisoner back here to-
day from Pendleton, Ore, tonight re-

side story of how Hickman was identi-
fled as the slayer and Of how the con-
fession was obtained from him.
The man who directed the nation
wide search and himself obtained
Hickman's confession said:
I'VE had indiStinct fingerprints from
the steering wheel of the automobile
we knew the kidnaper and killer had
driven. They were not clear enough
to classify, and so, to match them
against our records, we possibly might
have had to go through every one of

cards in our files

SponSe to my inquiry from Los An
geles about William Edward Hick-

Immediately there flashed into my
mind that the Hickman fingerprint

had it located in our files and turned
over to our fingerprint expert, Lieu
tenant H l.. Barlow In two minutes
Barlow had matched them with the
prints taken from the automobile
steering wheel and one of the ransom
letters written to Marion Parker's
father, and we knew for the first time
the name of the man we wanted, Will
liam Edward Hickman.
"NoW, as to the confession and the
manner in which I got it from the
prisoner:
"After we left Pendleton, Ore, on
the train last Sunday morning, I took
Hickman alone into a compartment of
our private car and for five hours
questioned and cross questioned him.
Nobody else was with us.
FINALLY, he said That he was going
to adopt the Leopold and Loeb pro-
gram, referring to that Chicago case
in which the two young killers of
Bobby Franks pleaded guilty.
81 told him that in that event it
would be better for him to write out
his statement, so that the judge con-
Sidering his case would have all the
details before him.
Hickman said he would do this, if
would promise that copy of his con-
fession would be placed in the judges
hands I assured him that it would,
so he told me the whole story then,
much as it has been printed in the
papers.
"The following morning, Monday,
took writing materials into HickmanS
compartment and we sat down to-
gether, while he wrote his statement,
19 pages in long hand, of confession,
and six pages outlining his motive.
"Then I called in Chief of Police
Davis of Los Angeles, and District At
torney Asa Keyes of Los Angeles
county, who were also aboard the
train, and the statement was signed
and witnessed in duplicate. I turned
the original over to the district at
torney. Later the district attorney
