THE CITY

Chicago earned her title of the ma
tion's divorce capital" this last year
more than v e before. according to
figures just released which show that
Chicago had n divorce to every
three marriages last year.
Eighty-five per cent of the divorces
were granted on a charge of desertion
and cruelty, which really means very
little, for when a divorce can be
gained for nothing else, that old
hokum, "desertion and cruelty" is
glibly dragged out-mostly because,
despite our laws to the contrary, the
bulk Of all divorces are uncontcstcd
and are a matter of collision between
the parties, as they should be.

HEAD TO COME

HEAD III COME
Japan, like the United States. has its "self-madc men"
financial and industrial magnates who started without
money or prospects and finished with great wealth and
power.
William Philip Simms, American journalist, who has
been touring the island kingdom. has interviewed a
number Of these men recently. He finds that there Is
the same spirit of optimism and determination abroad IN
Japan that there is in the United States; and he adds:
THAT. I believe. is the secret of Japans rapid progress.
For just as is the case in America, Japanese young people
make the sky the limit. however, humble or poor they
may be today"
It is a good many years since young men were advised
to hitch their wagons to stars. But that advice Is still
good. What a man becomes depends chiefly on what he
wants to become; and when we say that a nation is full
Of opportunities we really mean that Its conditions are
such that they inspire very young men to determine on
the best.
And that, after all, is what has made America q land Of
promise ever since its birth.
There was a new set-up in this new nation. A peculiar
combination of political freedom and unexpected natural
resources made America a land where ambition thrived.
Any man could look for anything he wanted here, with a
reasonable chance Of getting 1t. The cities and towns
were new. ready for new ventures: the back country was
limitless. waiting for men who could take its open spaces
and turn them into cash.
Thus democracy came to mean two things. Not only
could any poor boy aspire to the presidency when he grew
up; he could also aspire to greatness In financial or in
dustrial fields. There were no checks on any kind Of am
bition. And, In consequence. America became. and still
is. the promised land for the energetic.
Today the old situation has changed. No longer are
there vast stretches of good farm land awaiting settlers,
mighty forests ready for the first industrious timber deal
er, rich mines full Of ore for the ready prospector. The
natural resources have been largely exploited. The field
is nearly closed.
Yet the opportunities remain, nevertheless. The great
corporations that rule industry and commerce need brains
and energy in eyer-increasing quantities. The young
man who enters their service can be sure that he will
have every chance he needs to display his worth. The
temper Of the times still permits every man to make the
sky the limit"
AS long as those conditions last we need not worry
about our democracy. It is safe. And. by the same token.
II that state Of affairs holds good today in Japan-then
Japan. too. is becoming . real democracy, even II the
nation Is only three quarters Of . century from feudalism.

LITTLE SYMPATHY

Probably there are some vino think
that his. perhaps not untimely end,
considering his age, but at least un-
necessarily hard end. was about what
he had coming to him. or at least,
only about what he could expect.
For the mass of humans arc not
hit so hard by these heart tragedies
that they can understand or SYM
pathize very much.
It is queer when a man so sue
cuynbs. for tradition has it that man
can pass ON from one heartache to a
new joy. Women are given a little
more lccWay with their emotions, but
ever they r scored II they suc-
cumb too much.

POOR GEORGE

The new fascinating Intimate
Journal Of George Sand" probably can
find little understanding today; not
eve with the world of women. most
of whom simply cannot comprehend
how, in what they term this world of
so many more interests than the
woman who pined from love affairs
had" any woman could be so crushed
by what seems so trivial to them
trivial. in words at least.
George Sands journal or collection
of letters to her lover. Alfred de
Musset, are grist for the modern
psychiatrist who finds here a typical
neurotic woman genius, utterly i'll
capable of being normal while dis
turbed by her love shock.
But how much George Sand may
have deserved criticism in her own
day or now, surely nothing about her
and her attitude can SO shock us as
to learn that her lover to whom she
sent this soul-naked collection of let
tiers turned them over to his brother
and friend to satisfy their curiosity

NEW YORK, September 20. - The
volume of trading on the curb today
again taxed ticker facilities and left
traders at sea early in the session, as
the tape was more than 80 minutes

Although the bulk of transactions
converged around relatively new stocks
and groups, dealings were sufficiently
scattered throughout the list to main

NEW YORK. September 2o.-The
position Of the country banker in the
midst Of economic conditions that are
compelling the creation of huge COM
binations OF capital to buy up chains
Of banks, is not an enviable one.
He Is seriously alarmed over the
present trend, which may mean that
he will lose control of his institution
as well as a part of the local constit-
uency which he had been years in
establishing. In some instances he and
his friends have a majority interest in
the stock of the bank, which gives him
the opportunity to refuse offers from
the outside that may be too tempting
for the body of his shareholders to
resist. In most instances, however,
local bank stocks are quite widely dis
trtbuted and the owners of them have
relatively little pride or interest in the
banks affairs. They are mainly con-
cerned with getting good dividends and
seeing steady appreciation in their
investment
Already bankers in small cities and
towns In the East, in the Northwest
and on the Pacific Coast have been
forced out Of their enviable local bust
ness stations by the sweep of banking
combinations conferred in some metro-
politan district. It Is movement
which they. and their local depositors
and borrowers oppose, but with not
much success. The situation resembles
on small scale the change In COM
munity life that has followed the pass
ing of the old tradesman under the
pressure of competition from the chain
store.
The outlook Of the country banker
has been disturbed in no little degree
by the formation this week of a

The voice of the country banker is
likely to be raised in his own defense
at the San Francisco convention Of the
American Bankers Association next
month. At that time branch banking
and chain banking will be actively
discussed. The convention is expected
to adopt a policy regarding these
tendencies. There is a strong move
ment among members of the associa-
ton for change in the national bank
ing laws to permit branch banking sim
liar to that in Canada. The prepayment
OF this movement is the controller of

take more advanced attitude than
does Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
and some members of the Federal Re-
serve Board.
