IL that Sam just had to leave

order to prove this point he is COM
PEELED to devote a great deal Of time
to the intimate study of her faults.
But even faults if appropriately
combined make a living, breathing

Sam is not precisely a saint, but
Sinclair Lewis has erred in making
him long suffering. 1t is one Of the
least attractive virtues.
Accordingly, at places in the book
where Sam gritted his teeth and re-
solved to endure little longer the
Sights which Fran put upon him,
I always felt like crying out, Go to
it girl, jab him again." The plain
fact Of the matter is that Sinclair's
Sam is rather a poor worm and
whimperer.
People who beat their heads upon
the floor should not be surprised if
they get stepped upon.
Mrs. DodSworth had many fail
ings, but at least she sometimes
knew what she wanted. Sam never
did until a few chapters from the
end when he arranged for a second
marriage. I am not disposed to bet
much upon it's success.

When was the first law excluding
Chinese from the United States en-
acted?
The first attempt to exclude the
Chinese from the United States was
the treaty between China and the
United States in 1881, which gave
the United States the right to limit
or suspend the immigration of Chi
nese. The next year an act was
passed by congress suspending their
immigration for period of ten
Years. The law in its essential pro-

enacted.
When were shotguns first used as

Shotguns, light enough to be used
as hunting weapons, were made as

The Stock Market

When our fathers warned against the dangers
of stock speculation, the bad bankers and the bad
brokers always the villains of the tale The big
fellows" ate up the little fellows after Turing them to
the feast
But now it seems that ancient nursery tale must
be revised like SO many old yarns with moral. to
fit modern conditions. For the Wall Street spectacle
today is that of the big fellows holding back and the
little fellows furnishing their get-rich-quick
mirage Doubtless the end will be the same Of old.
with the little fellows wiped out But this time they
will have none but themselves to blame.
We don't profess to have any inside dope on the
future of the stock market. Our only knowledge is
of the humble order of knowing our own ignorance
which. by the way, the worlds wise have rated
Us the beginning of all wisdom.
But it doesn't take any special knowledge of the
stock market to arrive at the conclusion that the
perts the economists and the bankers are better in
formed about what is going to happen than the
army of small isolated SPECTATORS throughout the
country who keep pouring money into the market
despite all warnings.
By what blind luck and defiance of economic laws
these thousands of small SPECTATORS who are nf1at-
ing already inflated market expect to profit it is
hard to understand
Never before has there been such situation-with
corporation presidents warning the public that their
own stocks are too high with bankers and economists
generally warning that the credit condition is
healthy and dangerous These bankers and economists
can and do disagree among themselves to the
edy, but they agree on the illness
Within the last few days earlier warnings have
been supported by statements by the federal reserve
board, Paul M. Warburg, Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon, and now by Governor Young of the federal
reserve board.
These men are of recognized standing in the
financial world conservative by instinct and close
mouthed by habit They usually fear to speak, lest
their words shake business confidence and the coun-
trys prosperity.
So when they driven to speak, one would think
the little fellows might heed before it is too late.

direction when the emergency arises
You don't find it looking at itself
in the mirror, painting its face, or
wasting its energy in other useless
ways, when there is something
worth while to do.
Flaming youth has its lunatic
fringe, its moron strain, it's vicious
bent, just as it always did, and
needs not only guiding, but the
chance to carry off its surplus
strength
1t can't be thrilling in ways that
grandpa and grandma got their kick.
1t asks, and has a right to, some
thing different, since something diff
ferent is the basis of progress and
civilization.

SHE WROTE BAD CHECKS

Admitting her guilt when arraigned
in Police Court today before Judge John

worthless checks, Louise C. Walter, %
years old, of Falls Church, Va, was re-
manded to Jail to await imposition of
sentence.
Detective Ira Keck testified that the
girl, residing at the Grace Dodge Hotel
when she was arrested, had received
money and merchandise from promi-

to more than $3.50. There were other
checks issued by her, but restitution has
been made, Keck said.
The young woman refused to testify
in her own behalf other than to say
she was unemployed at the time and a
friend had promised to lend her money.
With this she expected to make the
checks good, she said. She informed
the court she had been employed by the

McCarl held that his previous de-
cision still was sustained, insofar as it
holds that the appropriation for Met
ropolitan Police is not available for this
item of travelling expenses"
He further decided, however, that "as
the facts now appearing disclose that
the trip of Inspector Brown was In con-
nection with administrative matters,
the expenses are properly chargeable to

cellaneous expenses D. c., 1929 sub

Accordingly" he concluded, "the
matter will be adjusted by allowing
credit for the item and issuing the nee
