IT'S STILL A BULL MARKET

In the early June Of 1924 according to current bull
en Of the Cleveland Trust Company the average price
Of 228 stocks composing the price index of the Stan
dard Statistics Co., was just above 100. Ever since
that time it has been rising irreguary until in May
1923, it was above 220.
The bull market is four years DID, and seems destined
10 continue As such into 1922 Business during the re-
naming months Of 1928, says the bulletin probably will
be better than it was during the corresponding months
Of 1927.
This forecast is based upon the key industries of iron
and Steel automobile construction and other factors Car
oadngs on the railroads and coal production are begin
ming, little by litte to produce records better than
those OF the corresponding weeks year ago. The agr
cultural outlook is good. with weather conditions prom.

A nation program for improvement Of traffic
conditions developed by the department Of commerce at
Washington is to be urged upon the states by the de-
partment. This is good. The nation has needed such
program for years, keenly so in recent years.
The plans, which designed to make streets and
highways of the nation safer for motorst and pedes
rian alike, formed after conferences in Washing
ton attended by traffic experts street builders and
scores Of others learned in traffic matters. Ten
tiona organizations directly interested repre-
scented and furnished valuable information and advice
The basis of the system is the uniform motor vehicle
code and the model municipal traffic ordinance which
are intended to a guide for uniform regula-
ton by cities and towns. The uniform code, drafted
in collaboration with the national conference of
missoners uniform state laws and approved by the
American Bar Association, has already been adopted
in substantial part by ten states The next effort will
be to have it generally approved and adopted
The Importance Of the problem is obvious. In the
last fifteen years it is estimated that 100000 persons
have met death in traffic accidents the greater proper
ton being lost in the latter part of that period under
"a constantly rising accident and fatality rate.
The mode. state code and model ordinances will be
generally awaited with deep interest Their universal
adoption promises a change for the better.

the few had their human slaves than it has today when
the many have their mechanical slaves? Only the

Eltinge for today and Tuesday.
If you like your entertainment in
the form Of romance, the same tin
holds good.
Dix comes to the Eitings theatre
in a screen story which, from all ap-
pearances, will be ranked alongside
of '1ne Quarterback" one Of his
best. In "Warming Up" he is tho
same athletic, lovable Dix but this
time his toe is in the pitchers box.
The story concerns young rookie
whose troubles are not c..nfinetl to
the diamond and particularly to .
jinx which seems to have settled on
his trail for good. There is also q
delicate and cbara.ing little lore
theme which runs through the pro.
duction.
Jean Arthur, playing opposite Mr..
Dix for the first time has q chance
to prove why the star cannot be-
blamed for loving her. She is quite
pretty and capable.
Many colorful figures Of the dia.
mond are seen in support Of Richard
Dix including Mike Donlin, famous
Giant of other days, Mike Ready. the
oldest living professional, Chef
Thomas, Wally Hood, Truck Hannah.

persons operating the Bureau Of
Home Economics are women. There
are also two librarians and two as
sistants to heads Of bureaus.
And in four pages Of names Of
Department Of Commerce officials
the name Of but one woman appears
"a librarian.
Finally, the Department Of La
Dor actually has two bureaus
manned" completely by women-the
Women's Bureau and Children's Bu-
reau. So much for the departments.
The Civil Service Commission has
two women assistant chiefs Of di-
vision, but in the General Account
ing Office, Interstate Commerce
Commission, Bureau Of Efficiency,
Board of Mediation, Federal Reserve
Board, Federal Trade Commission,
Shipping Board and countless other
miscellaneous groups women in re-
sponsible positions are as rare as
hot dog stands in graveyards.
There are four women among 435
members Of the House and none in
the Senate. Three are widows who
took their husbands jobs. Funny.
isn't it, that, with the noliticians
working the women for all they're
worth during the vote-getting sea-
son, they don't give them few NOM

If you want more evidence Of the
recognition the women get when it

STARCHY COMBINATIONS

When you use starches, only one
kind should be used at a meal, and
this starch should be combined only
with the cooked and raw non-starchy
vegetables. No fruits of any kind
not even tomatoes-should be used
with this meal.
The reason for this is that starch
digestion begins in the mouth as
chawing mixes the saliva with the
starch. If acids are used at the same
time, the alkalinity Of the saliva is
spoiled and cannot properly convert
the starch into sugar.
II starch, tomatoes and meat are
mixed and pass into the stomach.
both the meat and tomatoes will
stimulate the flow Of the gastric
juice, which has no digestive element
in it that can in any way convert the
starch. On the other hand, an ex-
cess of gastric juice only sours the
starch and makes it unfit for diges-
ton in the intestines where the prin-
lcipal change Of starch takes place.
The simple way then to use starch
is to use only one starchy food at a
time, and to use it in combination
with the different non-starchy vege-
tables, both in the cooked and raw
forms. The following specimen
meals will give you some idea of how
starch may be used in proper COM
bination with other foods:
/. WHOLEWHEAT MUFFINS-
cooked carrots and string beans.
2. BAKED POTATO-cooked Gu
cumbers, salad of grated carrots and
3. BOILED WHOLE RICE =
cooked> asparagus and carrots, raw
spinach.
There are really no vegetables
which do not contain q small amount
Of starch, but the following list con-
tains less than five per cent: celery,
spinach, string beans, asparagus
summer squash, cucumbers, egg
plant, beet tops, turnip tops, lettuce
okra, chayotes, oyster plant, mallOw
kale, xucchini, and even small beets
carrots, parsnips, and turnips. The
larger and more mature beets, car.
rots, parsnips, and turnips contain al
much as eight to twelve per cent OF
starch, but may usually be taken as
non-starchy vegetables.
will briefly explain to you just
how food is digested in the stomach
and also in the intestines.
i The digestion Of food begins II
the mouth, but only one kind of fooC
is really digested by the saliva. That
one food is starch. Meats, greens
fruit and other foods (except
starches) are NOT in any way di.
eested in the mouth except that mas.
tication breaks these foods up into
smaller particles. The ptyalin, OF
digestive ferment in the saliva, acts
upon the starch, and partially con
verts it into sugar.
When a mixture of meat, bread
and greens is taken into the stomach
the chemical action of the gastri,
juice changes the meat from proteir
into simpler forms so that it can bt
absorbed. The digestive juice Of thu
Istomach has no effect whatsoever up
lon the bread and greens except tx
make them sour because of the one

} acid contained in the juice.

IN NEW YORK

New York, Aug. 27.-A lot Of
things have happened since strong
men wept over their stems to the
nasal strains of "She's Only q Bird
in . Gilded Cage"
The song itself, for instance, has
lost its last vestige Of maudlinity. #
and when it is trotted out, the crowd
laughs uproariously. A certain
speakeasy cabaret in the Green
witch Village belt has filled its tables
due to the presence Of the singer of
such sobby old ballads. Invariably
its presentation, done with mock SOL
emnity, gets q heavy laugh.
Everyone with q memory, or with

many others, was more or less typ

times.

Which brings us to the ever popu-
lar subject Of the transient quality
of fame. Both these songs were
written by . Londoner, sojourning in
America. Arthur Lamb was his
name. And he has collected many
an honest dollar for his efforts. It
was -come-easy go with Lamb.
The other day he died. I doubt if
more than few hundred persons in
all America knew his name. In spite
Of the fortunes he must have made
from his many popular songs, he died
without . penny in his pocket. In
fact, in the little town where he
passed on, they knew so little Of him
that preparations were being made
for burial in q pauper's grave. Some
one in New York happened to learn
about his death and money for the
burial was Forthcoming.
It's an old, old story, with new
names and addresses.
Which reminds -"Mary Earl

THE PRICE OF A WAR

What with the new agreement on naval limitation be-
tween England and France, and the growing likelihood
that another international naval reduction conference
will be proposed in the future, number of peo
pie in this great land revving the good old game
of comparing the American and British naves.
One large middle western newspaper has had its
Washington correspondent do this and he reports that
the American navy, in actual fighting strength is far
below the British.
Item for tem he compares the battle fleets. Our bat
eship strength below Britain; cruiser strength
is far below; destroyers more numerous, but
we lack destroyed leaders; many Of battleships
need extensive modernization-and on, through a
long list of defects.
This may be correct summary; it would take
naval expert to say. But wonder if there isn't
thing that do that is even important than
bringing navy up to parity with England's.
There many points which the two nations
might fight day. On the surface of things it is
only the part Of wisdom for to be ready for it. But
there is another way of looking at it.
Suppose should get into with England Sup
pose that excellently prepared for it, that
after a long and costly struggle should win. What
then? Would we have improved position?
England beat Germany in the last war-and lost bill
lions Of dollars worth Of foreign markets while she
doing it. If fight England, and the great Gordon of
British cruisers tightens about our commerce for a
year So how much Of foreign trade on which our
prosperity depends and each year, would
main? Wouldn't neutral nations fall over themselves
taking it away from us? Would we be able to get it
back after the war?
England, emerging victorious from war with her
greatest commercial rival fell into industrial slump
that is not yet Is there any guarantee that we
would not do the thing?
Perhaps the important thing for us to do is not SO
much prepare for with England as make sure that
does not With wise aforethought all differ
that may arise between the two nations can be
settled peaceaby. Now is the time to start thinking
about it,

One hears vague rumors that
Smith or Hoover would appoint the
first woman cabinet member, but
they're quite unsubstantiated. After
looking over the roster Of the execu-
tive departments as now constituted,
one almost wonders how the govern
ment gets along with so few women.
The presidents three secretaries
and his executive clerk are all men.
Owing to the tradition Of feminine
tact and diplomacy one might expect
to find few women in State De-
partment jobs, but Of about so such
jobs considered important enough to
list in the Congressional Directory
one finds only two women to be
among 20 or more assistants to the
solicitor.
So many women these days handle
the family BUDGET that there ought
to be 4 few in the Treasury Depart
ment, but there aren't. Clerks and
Stenographers, Of course, as in all
the departments, but we're rot think
ing of those. Of lis administrative
or executive jobs listed for the
Treasury and its numerous SUBJ
sidiary bureaus-internal revenue,
customs, budget, public health and
so on-we find that Mrs. Brownie
Kerr is chief clerk Of the Budget
Bureau and that Mary NJ. O'Reilly is
assistant director Of the Bureau Of
the Mint.
It's no surprise, Of course, to check
up on Is different offices, bureaus,
commissions and divisions Of the
War and Navy Departments and find
only three or four women employed
