 Frank Reichenback says a happy wife is one who has an intimate friend with whom she can discuss her husbands faults.
 A woman would rather be beautiful than brilliant; a man would rather be rich than either.
 Pete Wilson says a lot more people would take a friendly interest in you if you made a noise like a roll of greenbacks.
 A lady was telling us the oth- CT day that she used to sit up until one o'clock in the morn- ing wondering if her sweet heart would ever go home. Now she declares that she sits up until one o'clock every night wondering if he will ever come home.

While a woman will wear a golf outfit when she can't play and a swimming suit when she can't swim, Eddie Haddon says that when she puts on a we'd ding gown she means business.

Exploiting Lindbergh.

Scarcely had Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh made his flight across the At
iantic than he was beset with business
propositions by people who wished to
exploit him. He was recognized as
the worlds most outstanding indi.
vidual, and he was Immediately made
the object Of solicitations by enter.
tainmant promoters, manufacturers
and advertising schemers to sell his
name and fame to them for large
considerations. His chief secretarial
aide, writing IN a current magazine,

Ilndbergh has received since his flight
and shows that he could have become
n millionaire several times over by
accepting the business offers made to
him. One proposition heads the list
for its munificence. 1t was an offer
Of 81, 1,O0o. 900 for going through a real
marriage ceremony in front OF a movie

Lindbergh declined.

The Theater Ticket Brokers.

Some months ago Federal internal
revenue agents discovered that Ger.
tain theater ticket agencies in New
York were failing to pay income taxes
on their profits on the sale of admis-
sions to places Of public entertainment
in that city. Prosecutions were sue
cesstully instituted. The investigation
drew public attention to the fact that
an excessive differential existed be-
tween the prices prevailing at box Of
fees and at the agencies, difference
that in part represented the commits.
sions paid by the brokers to theater
employees IL not to the managers them
selves. The managers took cognizance
Of this situation and started reform.
Whether or not it was sincere, it was
undoubtedly in response to an aroused
ticket brokers of the city devised a
plan for distribution of tickets through
bonded agencies which would operate
on an established scale of prices only a
moderate degree above the box office
scale. This plan was submitted to the
ticket brokers throughout the city. but
Tuesday the association of brokers met
and turned it down. Now the man.
ayers will meet and devise a scheme
Of their own, which, If 1t goes into
effect, will deprive all but very few
brokers of the privilege of ticket
selling.
The only advantage to the public
in the sale Of tickets through estab-
lished agencies is a wider distribution
and greater convenience. For this ad-
vantage the payment of a reasonable
commission or excess charge is bear
able, and not unwelcome. But when
the game is played to the point at
which prices are doubled, as has oc.
Cured in New York and other large
cities, the public feels that it has been
victimized. and especially If there is
evidence Of collusion between the
brokers and the box Offices. In the in.
vestigation by the Federal authorities
1t was brought out that the box office
managers of the larger and more pop
ular places of public amusement re-
ceive more than their salaries from
the brokers for the allotment of
tickets. Whether any of this money
went "higher up was not disclosed,
but suspicion prevailed that in some
cases a large percentage of these fees
for favors to the brokers reached the
managers or promoters of the shows.

PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

In an old book, written a hundred
years or more ago, I unearthed an al.
most perfect example Of the inveterate
habit OF judging other peoples by nice
and neat formulae.
This habit Of pigeonholing peo-
pie with phrase is very real fac
tor in international relations, and 80
ir is worth examining. ..
In this old book, Ave nations are
dissected and described the Spanish.
the English, the German. the Dutch
and the French.
These Ave nations are analyzed in
terms of their attitudes toward the
adventures. the acquisitions and the
achievements Of the sea. as they set
sail upon 1t for commerce or for con-
quest.
In the business Of navigation, ac-
cording to this old book, these five ma
tions display these five distinct quail
ties:
The Spaniard is brave.
The Englishman is clever.
The German is scientific.
The Dutchman is Industrious.
The Frenchman is adventurous.
The business Of navigation, accord.
ing to this old book, means to these
five nations these five distinct things:
The sea means conquest to the
Spaniard.
The sea means enterprise to the
EngliShman.
The sea means research to the Ger.
man.
The sea means gain to the Dutch
man.
The sea means adventure to the
Frenchman.
In the business of naviga ton, ac-
cording to this old book, these five ma
tions like these five distinct kinds of
voyages:
The Spaniard likes long voyages.
The Englishman likes important
voyages.
The German likes useful voyages
The Dutchman likes profitable voy-
ages.
The Frenchman likes rapid voyages.
According to this old book, the sea
is regarded by these five nations as
follows:
To the Spaniard the sea is a road.
To the Englishman the sea is a
dwelling place.
To the German the sea is a study.
To the Dutchman the sea is a
means of transportation.
To the Frenchman the sea Is post
chaise
There may be a hundred and one
factors of environment and necessity
that justify these Judgments about
the attitudes of these Ave peoples to-
ward the sea. The trouble is that we
carry this habit Of cataloguing peo
pies to absurd lengths until we Ak in
our minds false pictures Of the varied
peoples Of the earth as a series OF
wholly different and eternaily con.
fiicting groups.
The fact is that just as the Colonel's
Lady and Judy O'Grady are essen
TALLY the same, despite their differ
ences of taste and training, so the
varied races of earth are human un
der the skin.
1t will be great step toward per
ma anent peace when we drop the dia
bolical habit of pigeonholing whole
peoples with phrase

these bids. which put the lowest esti.
mate upon the character Of the indi.
vidual.
Lindbergh made his fight to Paris
in a sincere effort to demonstrate the
feasibility of transatlantic aviation.
He is an enthusiastic airman, who be-
lieves firmly in the future utility of
the plane as a means Of transport.
1t is believed that the thought of per.
sonal advantage did not actuate him
in the least in his courageous en-
deavor, which proved so wonderfully
successful. And his flight has stimu.
lated interest in aviation to an un.
precedented point. He Is now engaged
in a scheduled nationwide tour to
carry on this work Of arousing the
American people to a realization Of
the Importance of flying, out of which
he will personally profit little and
which Is drawing severely upon his
energies. He is giving himself prac-
tically free to the cause.
No matter what Lindbergh himself
has said In denial Of these solicita-
tions, there will continue to be an
effort to exploit him merely by ask.
ing him to do impossible things-im-
possible because of his character and
his sincerity. Public admiration Of
this young man is not lessened, Of
course, by this unseemly spectacle,
but on the contrary is increased be-
cause of the persistent manner in
which he is refusing to cheaper him.

for himself during his own life by
cheating"
How does that sound for a thorough
bred American? We need more such
Americans in public today with mo-
tives. objects and ideals of Benjamin
Franklin. Don't let them deceive you
braying and squawking personal I'D
erty." Personal liberty" does not
teach commercializing crime. nor
does it stand for or uphold crime. Only
the impostor and the sycophant, TO
give caste or to shield their own un-
tenable position, appeal to SUCH terms
to deceive the ignorant and timid
citizen.
Did you ever see justice and liberty
prevail In any nation dominated by
the liquor interests and the criminal
element? / should say not! Justice
and liberty are words not found In
their vocabulary. Tyranny and an
archy are better words for this ele.
ment. Compare the Americanism OF
Roosevelt and Franklin with the de-
tractors of our Constitution and our
laws and determine whom you should
follow. True Americanism should be
taught in every school In our land.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

enter into a description of the mental
and spiritual life Of the next world,
instead of devoting so much space to
the picture of the golden streets and
the other foiderol.
Surely the heaven of which the
world dreams will have something bet
ter than fancy paving to recon-
mend it.
The next world. IL 1t is to be worth
a rap, must be q place where there
will be no misunderstanding, no
arguments, no attributing Of motives
which do not exist.
Then we shall see clearly. face to
face" as the prophet said. not in the
muddled fashion of this world. where
all of us are sitting around anxious
to be insulted.
Think Of all the persons who are
, willing to be offended!
Not a one of them ever says to
himself or herself: well. now, that
strikes me as a flip remark-but is
it? Let me calmly analyze the thing.
Perhaps he did not mean it that way.
In fact, has not experience taught me
that my first reactions are invariably
vicious?"
Why are first reactions to remarks
and acts so often vicious? The an
swer is. we believe. because they are
the response of the elemental man
| within.
Notice we do not say animal re-
sponse. No. we put much higher
valuation upon the reactions of the
animals.
Animals are innocent things. even
in the acts which man designates
with the word cruel" The cat play
ing with the mouse is doing no more.
in its way than a modern man eating
his breakfast to the sounds of iaZz
music from his radio.
The mouse is the breakfast to the
cat, the toast Is the mans breakfast
The preliminary play Is to the cat
what the music Is to the man.
II Il -
No. the elemental man was distinct.
ly below the level of the brutes, be-
cause he was up to all sorts of cussed-
ness through the use of his reason. 1t
was this same reason. of course, that
was to elevate him, so we must not
be too hard upon It.
Elemental man must have been a
crude. awful thing-that Is why his
responses to stimuli were so invari-
ably tinged with suspicion, meanness,
envy, jealousy, hatred, murder. He
was so close to the need for self-pres-
ervation that he knew nothing else.
So today, when one attributes wrong
motives to others. he needs must take
heed that he is not simply letting the
old elemental man In him get the bet
ter of him.
The God.given self upon which the
world of mankind prides itself does
not remain content with the instinc-
tive responses, either to the acts or
words of others. but tries to look upon
them with some approach, at least, to
that great love which warmeth the
world.
Only by so doing. in ever-Sncreasing
measure, will mankind arrive at full
stature. This is the call of civiliza-
ton, to try to think and act as civil
lized men ought to think and act, not
only in the grand tactics of life, nor
yet even in the major tactics only.
but also in the minor tactics.
Perhaps the minor tactics of living,
which involve the everyday affairs,
the relation of neighbor with neigh
Dor, associate with associate, friend
with friend, demand this good think
ing most Of all, for there are so many
more opportunities.
