MILFORD CHRONIC
dent Hoover has served the frater-
nifty by providing a valid alibi when
men of affairs follow the urge to go
fishing or hunting. Speaking to
"neighbors' at Madison, Virginia, the
presidential weekend retreat. Mr..
Hoover said: "In this case (of fish
ing) it is the excuse for return to
the woods and the streams with their
retouch of the simpler life of the
frontier from which every American
springs" The annual issuance of
100000 fishing licenses and prob
ably more cunning permits empha-
sizes what the President had to say.
AaS
What to do With Wall Street
Senator Dye promises a sweeping
investigation of the banking, specu-
lative, and financial situation unless
the banking interests correct the
abuses that have grown up under
the present system" The Federal
Reserve System does not include
state banks and corporations. Many
of the latter have been lending their
surpluses for the higher rates OBJ
tainable in speculation quarters.
Just how the situation may be con-
trolled is not very clear. Many peo-
pie are natural gamblers, many have
been pulled into the maelstrom by
the cry of "easy money" and they
are "easy marks" for the men of the
"Street" who run little risk when
they are handling other peoples
money. Were it not for this type of
speculator no one would pay much
attention to the gambling of the
professionals. With a market far
above just levels for many stocks
very large number of American men
and women who have allowed COM
nonsense to go by the boards are
going to get their spanking if they
keep up the pace. The Federal Re-
serve System was not created as a
moral guide to the people. And per-
haps the only way to cure some peo-
pie is to let them bump their heads. /

VIII IHey Eau III For USE
Much of the bread that goes on
tables comes from baker (
les, as is well known. Now a number |
of baking concerns even slice "the |
staff of life" Sliced bread has ap-
peared in many localities. It comes
and ready to serve. In or
der to take advantage of the "sight |
appeal" a Western. bakery wraps
display loavesin transparent mois-
ture-proof cellophane to enable the
housewife to see just what she is
getting. So far no baker has Of
fered to do the eating of his product,
which seems to be about the only
thing left.
America and the ReparatiOn
Conference
The conflicting reports and the
situation at the
Hague are not pleasing to Washing
ton, but the administration does not
appear to be contemplating any par
in the negotiations more
than the attendance of Mr.. Wilson,
The unofficial American observer.
Senator Borah would rather favor
Dawes taking that part.
There is more effort now on the part
of the continentals to readjust their
shares of reparations to meet the
British demands than to drag the
United States into the ring. This
week should see some definite decis-
ons made.
Snappy Looking Window Shades
The world is waking up to every I
hing that is new and the latest ]
stage of this intellectual develop i
nent is shown in window shades. ;
lust why every part of the house, I
wen to the brick work, the trim
nings and cornices, the steps, por- {
hes, and all the exterior finish {
hould be dolled up and put into a {
ligh state of loveliness, with no I
hought to the improvement of win I
low shades, through all these years, t
S something of mystery. '
But there is a cure for unsightly r
hades, and now one can plan beau f
iful and interesting windows with 7
olorful, figures, washable tontine ]
yindow shades that harmonic with g
he walls, floors and ceilings, so that r
II constitute a charming, tasteful @
nished appearance. This used to r
e attempted only with curtains and t
raperies, but now there are shades i,
eing produced in all kinds of beau l;
full effects. i,
