COUNTERFEIT ART

Under the sponsorship of the American Art Dealers
Association there has been established register OF
paintings of American art-a sort Of Doomsday Book
OF American art-with the idea in mind of enabling
this generation and those to to distinguish be-
tween the genuine and the spurious.
The procedure will be simple: a work of an Ameri-
can artist is submitted to the organization for con-
sideration by committee Of experts, and when the
experts are satisfied it is genuine they will issue
certificate to that effect and place on file photo
graph and description of the work.
This registry of American art is made necessary by
the recent increase in art appreciation in the United
States. Not many years ago famous paintings we're
purchased by a few educated in art. Today, how
ever, wealth has increased to point where thou
sands can and do buy paintings that are or will be-
come famous, and todays purchaser is not an expert
frequently he is fooed the sale of fraudulent paint
ngs has reached considerable proportions.
Americans including those not "art conscious" can
take considerable pride in the fact that their country
is now producing enough artists and paintings of
real merit to justify art register. America is
demonstrating that it augment the worlds gallery
OF art as well as deplete Europes collections.

my opponent has seen fit to make
an issue out Of my drinking habits.
Well, as one Of our speakers re-
marked the other night, it isn't a
habit - it's a gift. Does my oppo-
nent think he could manage to stay
sober in Washington? What does he
think he is, another Coolidge?
"On the other hand, it is common
knowledge that my distinguished op-
ponent is accustomed to mistreating
his dog and that if it were not for
his contributions to the humane So
ciety they would have been after
him long ago.
: Far be it from me to 90 into this
worthy gentleman's domestic af-
fairs, but you all know what the
runners are. He hasn't denied them
yet.
"ThereSare few nights that every
body doesn't know where McWhorter
is. It is a crying shame that per-
sonalities have entered this cam
paign, because everyone knows how
much I deplore personalities. But
our ticket can run successfully on
personalities just like everything
else."
In other speeches Senator Nc
Whorter has urged the voters not
to forget that Lindbergh gave him
free plane ride in Washington last
spring. He suggested that they
vote for him just as if Lindberrh
were the candidate.

AN URBAN PROBLEM

1t is quite generally agreed that local transnor
tat'on is the weakest part of that modern machin,
known as the municipality. And local Transportation
conditions are growing worse
In most communities the facilities are far below the
standards maintained in other fields Of our economic
activity Extensive improvements and additions are
badly needed nearly everywhere and they are not SUM-
Piled because the necessary capital is not forthcom

investing public effectively as do other lines Of
business enterprise.

In the face Of these facts if modern conditions make
1T impossible for private capital to operate street rail-
ways profitaby at charges the public is able end will
ing to pay, our cities will be confronted by social
problem OF grave Importance, the answer to which
must be subsidized private operation or municipal
operation, with losses borne by the tax rate.
1t is hardly necessary to say that public reaction to
either alternative will be hostile. There must be fur

its people.

HOBBY

Seven years ago the federal government established
an agency in the postoffce department for stamp col
ectors Since then that service has grown to amazing
proportions that Uncle Sam today finds himself one
OF the worlds largest phiatelic dealers.
This special agency acts as a connecting link be-
tween stamp collectors and the federal postoffice
distributes special issues Of stamps. 1t accepts and
fills orders for "first day covers" which means en-
velopes bearing cancelled stamps and marks showing
they were mailed the first day those particular
stamps were available.
First day covers for armail routes are cspe-
cialy popular just There were 1000 orders for
such envelopes and stamps when there was recent
new airmail issue. Two hundred thousand wanted
them when Colonel Lindbergh returned for day to
his old route between Chicago and St. Louis
Stamp collection is hobby which none but collec-
tors themselves understand. To unsympathetc out
siders this opportunity to obtain the coveted bits of
paper so easily through q government bureau would
seem slightly to dim the zest of the quest To the COL
ector however, this service seems to be tremendous
boon.
Perhaps the postoffce department has found. in its
philatelic business way to reduce its annual deficit
There Is nothing to prevent it from getting full market

AFTER TEN YEARS

Hostiities in the World ended ten years ago. but
peace with its beneficent influence did not follow at

the human slaughter found to be far short Of
storing the lately embattled nations to state Of re-

and the end is not yet. There is encouragement how

ARE WE BECOMING
HEALTHIER


The number Of deaths from dia-
betes is slightly on the increase in
spite of the supposed value of in
sulin for increasing the ability to
use carbohydrates. The average
number Of deaths lately has been
1873 when formerly it was 1863 per
hundred thousand. Anyone who is
familiar with my theories of this
disease, that it is caused by a faulty
metabolism from using excessive
amounts Of sugars and starches, can
understand why this disease occurs
and why it is slightly on the in
crease.
Heart Disease
At present, heart disease is re-
sponsible for more deaths than any
other ailment of the human body. ut
is estimated that the number Of
deaths from diseases of the heart
and blood vessels are responsible for
more deaths than any other three
diseases combined.) The number of
deaths per hundred thousand has
slightly increased. The average was
lat. Now it is 1889. This increase
may be partly caused by the de-
crease of the number of deaths in
the acute diseases, and partly by a
better diagnosis Of heart troubles.
AS l have stated many times in my
newspaper articles, heart disease is
caused largely by two factors. One
IS the presence Of toxic, irritating
substances in the blood stream, and
the other is the presence of gas from
the stomach and intestines.
Apoplexy
The causes of apoplexy are prob
ably somewhat similar to the causes
of heart disease. This trouble is
usually caused by high blood pres
sure and by a hardening of the ar
teries. We therefore find that more
people are dying Of this trouble
than formerly. The average was
8O.46 per hundred thousand, now it
is $3.50.
Cirrhosis of the Liver
The number of deaths from cirrho-
sis Of the liver has remarkably de-
creased since prohibition. The num-
Der of deaths per hundred thousand
was 1913, now the number is TAI
Curiously enough, the proportion Of
deaths from acute alcoholism is
gradually increasing year after year
since prohibition. Immediately after
the volstead law went into effect the
number of deaths in the United
States from acute alcoholism was
10 per hundred thousand, and the
number has gradually increased un-
tn, in 1926, the number had reached
$50. However, this is less than the
average prior to the Volstead Act.
Kidney Disease
The number of deaths from acute
kidney diseases formerly averaged
1O3.67. Now the number is 1864
per hundred thousand. These dis
eases also show a remarkable de-
crease since it has become more diff
ficult to obtain alcohol.
Suicide
The number Of deaths from suicide
is decreasing year after year. This

MONEY BY AIR MAI.

New testimony to the value of the air mail service
comes from the banks, which the air lines to trans
fer checks from one city to another.
Figures on the Cleveland Chicago line are cited The
saving in time gained by sending the checks by air
mail instead Of by train prevents vast sums of money
from lying idle for two days, formerly the case
and saves for the banks the interest on those sums
Since the first Of April it has been found that banks
using this division Of the air mail have saved on an
average, $244 per day because Of the air mail.
The air mail is rapidly making itself important in
bur daily commercial life. It is safe bet that it will
continue to do so in even greater measure.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
(NEA Service Writer)

Washington, Nov. g. Senator J..
Boomboom McWhorter's hot cam
paign for reelection has resolved
itself into battle Of personalities
on the eve Of balloting and it APP
pears now that the nation may not
lose the senator's services after all.
This development came close on
the heels of the senator's failure
to make religion his campaigns
leading issue. Somebody told Nc
Whorter that his opponent was an
Episcopalian, which caused him to
think that his campaign was as good
as won just as soon as he could
spread the word around. Then he
discovered that Episcopalians were
in good standing and not much diff
ferent from anyone else.
An indication Of the way the great
McWhorter battle is being fought
may be gathered from one Of the
last speeches Of the campaign, made
by our hero.
"My opponent" he said, ''is man
with funny name. But I'm not
going to dwell on that. don't care
how funny his name is. Go ahead
and laugh about it if you want to,
but there are more important issues
than that.

there was monkey business in the
primaries. The foul SANDER has

sanctity Of the ballot. It is said
that this man put his hand into q
ballot box through an unauthorized
hole in the side and had it caught
in steel trap which our enemies
had set therein.
"And they call that evidence!
"In the first place, I don't know
the man who was caught; in the Sec
ond place there are all sorts Of rea-
sons why man might want to put
his hand in ballot box without hav-
ing his motives suspected, and in the
third place it's all a dirty campaign

petrate such a low trick. WHY.
