NEW YORK, August 30.---The specu-

in the heavy buying movement on the
Curb Exchange again told upon the
movement of prices today, The chafac-

cialties resulted in the new high rec

again fixed at IL per cent, the Specu-
lative element was content TO ignore

upward movement were A. G. Spaldlng,

these went into new high ground and

where spring had found them From the land
locked Caspian Sea to the Carpathian noun
tains they roamed endlessly; now and then
they swept on past the Carpathians and over
ran Europe with fire and sword.
But those peoples roamed Of necessity.
Their migrations were caused by economic con-
ditions; the search for fresh pasture lands
drove them on. The American nomad roams
for the fun Of roaming. No necessity drives
him. The open road calls him, every summer,
and away he goes-to return, a few weeks
later, brown and fit, ready for another year
on the same old job.
This is highly significant fact; the auto
mobile has done something more important
than make Henry Ford Millionaire. To eacn
American it has brought new kind of free
dom, new kind of patriotism.
IL that too strong statement? Contrast
the lot Of the average American today with the
lot of his father. A generation ago many men
lived out their lives without leaving their
home county. Their travels, unless they were
fairly well to do, were limited to hurried bust
ness trips. Today, the man who has not en-
joyed the open country Of half dozen neigh
boring states is a rarity. No longer is it a
proud distinction to have been across the con-
tinent.
This is sure death to provincialism and Sec
tionalism. It means wider patriotism The
man who knows the beauties of the whole
American countryside cannot help having a
deeper, truer love for his country than if he
knew only his own neighborhood.
The American is no longer a transplanted
European. Among the things that have set
him apart nothing is much more important
than the automobile.

to Farm
Aid Bill Approved

Washington, March 14.-(AP)-
An amendment to the McNary- Hau-

associations authority to set up
marketing corporations in which
they would be the stockholders was
approved today by the house agri-
cultural committee. The vote was
16 to 8.
The. proposal was sponsored by
Representative ANDERSEN, Republic
can, Minnesota. It also would pro-
vide that the federal farm board
could loan money to such corpora
tions on the same basis as the CO.
operatives themselves. The pro-
posed corporations would be gov
erned by the laws Of the respective
states in which they were created.

HAIR AND HEALTH

The amount Of hair which a man
can grow on his head does not seem
to be any indication Of his mental
abilities or capacities. The bald
headed man may say that Grass
does not grow on . busy street"
and the bushy-headed man may re-
ply, "Oh, l see. It's because it can
not get up through the concrete. !"
But the fact remains that there is
about an equal number Of success
ful men between the bald headed
ones and those who have more lux
uriant hair. There is q health side
to this question, however, it is well
&c point out.
The successful young man who is
bald has usually lost his hair be-
cause of tight scalp, or because of
some devastating fever which he
had during his growing years. John
D. Rockefeller, who is nearly ninety,
has certainly been successful in a
business way, but lost most of his
hair very early in life. One Of our
most famous American actors, who
is now around seventy, and has just
married his seventh wife, hasn't had
hair on his body since he was
twelve years old. He lost his hair
after a bad fever. One Of my
friends is famous inventor around
sixty-fivc years Of age. He has
been bald since youth.
These points are brought out to
show that it is possible to have q
high degree Of mental and physical
health and still have little hair,
:.ovided the loss Of hair was caused
by some sickness early in life. When
a man Of thirty-five to forty begins
to lose his hair, it is usually q sign
Of approaching senility and general
debility from constitutional causes.
Loss of hair is, in such cases, a
danger sign which indicates that
Unless bad hab'-s orn corrected the
with the approaching badness
of middle age has q slim chance Of
living to the average length Of life
which is now around fifty-eight
years.
What is true in this regard Of a
man is also true with women. The
man or woman who at forty finds
the brush and comb filled with hair
must heed the warning which tells
them of premature senility ard q
too-rapid degeneration Of their bod
lily tissues, and especially Of deter
ioration Of the ductless glands.
A plentiful growth Of hair is de-
pendent upon the circulation Of
good blood to the hair roots. Each
hair root grows something like an
onion, although the main shaft Of
the hair after it leaves the scalp
IS no more alive than the end of
the fingernail. The growth Of the
root itself, and its ability to push
up the shaft of hair depends upon
he proper irrigation Of the hair
~oots with healthy blood. # one
lives day after day with devitaliz-
ing habits, the normal alkalinity Of
the blood will be reduced, and not
enough silicon and other organic
minerals will be furnished to grow
enough hair to cover the head.
Badness usually starts at . Ger
tain well known spot, just back Of
the top Of the head, where the cir
c. tion of blood is the most slug
gish. Very few people lose the
hair around the ears and at the
back Of the neck. This is simply

Tipping the Porter
(St. Paul Oisnatchl

So far as the supreme court of the United
States is concerned, it is perfectly legal to tip
sleeping car porters. This decision should
cause infinite relief to the travelling public
which may Tor may not) have been fearful
lest in the future the ancient practice of tip
ping should be reduced to the bootleg bust
ness. The strange thing about it is that the
banning of the tip was sought by the porters
themselves. They say that the Pullman COM
pany figures in their prospects Of tips as par.
Of their wages. They have been trying to get
wage increases, offering gladly to forego the
right to expect tip for service. But it is hard
to zee what effect such change in wage prac-
tice would have on tipping. America cries out
against the tipping system, but where is the
man with courage to defy. an outstretched
palm?
