Paris. Oct. Sit happened at the
Cathedral Ct Notre Dame. one
Of those amusing incidents so typ
ical Of modern-dav Paris.
We had been doing the usual tour
list things. That is, taking a
small boat under the pont de la
Tournelle where, from the water
level, the majesty Of the historic
cathedral all but takes away the
breath. It was a golden
morning with the sun and shadows
weaving dragons about the flying
buttrcsses. And we had
walked about the cathedral, viewing
it from various angles. And
finally we entered, held breathless
for moment by varying emotions
Of awe and wonder.
My companion suggested that we
get candles for q favorite saint, a
custom practiced by many visitors.
But just how did one ask for
q candle? Hurriedly I con-
suited my little book Of French
terms and, after much struggle, re-
hearsed a few necessary words. /.
Then l looked up guide.
With many references to my lit
tie book ! managed to stammer out
some horrible French. !. The
guide listened impatiently for a
minute and then burst out with
"Say, why don't you talk American
so I can understand you?"
When the shock had passed, l
learned that our guide was none
other than an ex-taxi driver from
New Jersey. He had served
in the war and stayed over after
ward. He secured his job
at the cathedral in order to be Of
service to Americans. He
tells me that nine out Of ten start
speaking to him in bad French, just
as ! had.
And so to Harry's bar, or, to be
exact, Harry's New York bar.
Harry's bar is the place in Paris,
where, if you stand long enough and
can still stand you will see everyone
you missed at 42nd and Broadway.

Bleeding from the nose is q fairly
frequent condition. It occurs not
only as the result Of direct blow,
but also from variety Of causes
associated with its structure.
Sometimes inflammation may at
tack the vessels, sometimes there
may be varicose veins in the nose
that will burst; sometimes a little
liberation develops a crust and
violent blowing or picking at the
crust results in hemorrhage.
Not infreque:ltly bleeding from
the nose is associated with such
diseases as inflammation of the kid.
neys, hardening of the arteries or
tumors in the nose. # the condi.
ton is due to some local cause such
as an ulcer or a scratch, the bleed
ing will probably stop Of itself after
it is temporarily controlled.
Treatment
The simplest measure to aid the
stopping of the bleeding is the plac.
ing OF the patient in q recumbent
position, preferably with the face
down. The application Of ice water
or Of hot water to the nose or the
temporary packing Of the nose with
sterilized clean gauze will help.
Any superstitious measure, such
as ice applied to the back Of the
neck. cold key hung down the
back, the inhaling Of smoke or SIM
liar procedures are likely to be
merely nuisance without giving
any help.
Coagulation
If q person bleeds continuously. an
examination Of the blood should be
made to find out if coagulation is
delayed.
An investigation may also be
made to find out whether the per.
son happens to belong to one Of the
families known as bleeders, in which
coagulation Of the blood occurs only
with great difficulty.
There is no way to strengthen the
blood vessels 50 as to prevent hemor-
rhages, but . competent nose and
throat specialist will be able to look
into the nose and to find out wheth-
er . cauterization Of the vessel. q
Strengthening Of the septum. or
some similar procedure is necessarv
to control an anatomical defect.

What are the facts?
In the current cycle of prosperity,
the dominant enterprises in leading in
dustries have become increasingly sue
cessful--concerns like the General

Steel Corporation. the American Can
Co., Sears. Roebuck & Co, the +. w.
Woolworth Co, the Atchison. Topeka

bacco Co.. the Standard Oil Co. of New
Jersey-and scores of other known
leaders have been the chief beneiiciar-
les of good times. Any one leader, it
is true, might as q result of changed
conditions or weaker management slip
back but the habit of investing in a
diversified list of the known leaders in
basic industries is far more likely to
give satisfactory results than Chi
merical chase after financial will-o'-

The country has its bear markets as
