CHAPTER FIVE

ON the afternoon of the day the.
~ $500 want ad was inserted in
The Times, Frank Sheridan called
upon his friend, Joseph Smedley, in
the assistant prosecutors office.
Joe" Sheridan said, there are
two things 1 want you to do for
me, one is in the line of business,
and the other may or may not be
pleasure"
ASK and 1t shall be given unto
thee" quoted Smedley, irreverently.
"Shoot!"
"I've got a line on the WILDER
burglar. 1 want you to see Captain
Hunting of the bureau of identf-
fication at police headquarters and
find out if he has any record of a
burglar who is about so or older,
who drives a car and walks with a
slight, stiff-legged limp. In your
official capacity, you can make the
inquiry without arousing undue
curiosity"
"AIl right" agreed Smedley, "but
how in heck did you get that dope
on the crook?"
Just plain, common sense reas-
oning from the clews he left"
Sheridan replied little impatiently.
~Tll tell you some day when we
have more time. My second request
is more personal and intimate. I've
Just received a telegram from my
sister, Pauline, informing me that
she is making one of her unherald-
ed flying visits to indianapolis. You
remember Pauline?"
Yes. but I've not seen her since
our university days. She was in
high school then, I believe"
You didn't get a chance to see
much of her after that After high
school she went to Smith college,
and while there met the brother of
one of her classmates. She married
George Murchison right after
graduation and went to live in
Seattle. You were in Europe at the
time Of the wedding. Indianapolis
has seen very little of her since.

has been closed since mothers
death, and Pauline only returns

on society. NUNS the word.

Mrs. Murchison knows what she
wants when she wants it," Smedley
commented with a laugh.
"She does" replied Sheridan drEly

that reason, she IS not going to

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

He who is never satisfied cannot COM
| prehend the state of mind Of him who
cries, "Enoughl"
The sneer of the "go-getter" for his
| less ambitious cousin must be tempered
in all honesty, If he would be fair to
| the man.
1t will not do to measure all men by
! ones self, as great as one may fancy
| that latter precious person.
There actually are human beings who
| do not care a Whoop for money, as
strange as that may sound.
Perhaps they are wrong.
| Some one ought to show them the
error of their ways, for this is hard
world in which we live, as in a boat
| sailing through the skies, tough old
| world for the man or woman lacking in
| money.
The world itself Is no more obdurate
however, than the spirit Of our man OF
woman under discussion. Here We have
| granite meeting granite.
The necessity for money, If one is tc
have anything. or to do anything is Off
set by the honest indifference to max
ing it, and the refusal of the victim to
exert himself in its pursuit.
X y 4; X
It is here that Fate plays part.
Many such persons succeed royalty
not through their own will, but by rea-
son of friendly help at Just the right
| time or through sheer ability.
Some of the. greatest artists and writ
ers in world history have been men OF
this type. They made money because
they could not help it, or because q
friend with business instinct stepped tc
their aid at precisely the right moment
Other great men have been poor
through lack Of such friendly aid from
Fate or friends.
Is that OF those who are neither great
nor poor. These people include the
majority, as it may be imagined, OF
those who are free from greed
The instinct for amaSSing money has
been left out Of their composition. They
are noculated, as one might say
against the dollar mark.
They deserve neither praise nor blame
AS this, is the stumbling block Of the
greedy, let us dwell moment on the
point. The man in the street" has
his greed as a part Of Natures plan for
Self-protection.
His dislike for the unselfish man also
is part Of that plan. Nature, how
ever, sometimes needs to be thwarted
and In nothing more than in this. The
man who sees life as business only, is in
great danger of harming himself more
than he who is willing to devote a part
OF his time to play.
n X X
1t is only common sense on the part
| Of both types to play fair with the
| other, and let him pursue his way un-
molested by deed or word. The un-
selfish man will do this readily enough
but the other usually wants to reform
| him.
The philosophical implications are Sc
plain that they need not be stated in
philosophical language All that is
necessary is that men everywhere mind
their own business.
A man is his brothers keeper only
in a sense. If his own temperament
is to grab every penny he can get his
hands on-well, that is his tempera-
ment.
If his neighbor not only will not grab
but refuses even to look at the penny
he should permit him to do as he
pleases. Nothing he can say will do
any good, anyway, but 1t may cause
hard feeling, and some sadness.
Evening star., 1929-12-21

Lack of greed makes some people
| unique in a world Of covetous, graspine
human beings.
: No one can say he understands
human nature until he recognizes the
existence of this type.
The amazing thing is that many
capable men refuse to admit that non
selfish persons exist.
Yet nothing Is more sure than that
| they do, and in numbers which prevent
any one such person from being
exceptional.
They are unique in the sense which
distinguishes them from the great mass
of hurrying men and women whose one
aim IN life seems to be to make money.
X X ~
There are as many avenues to wealth,
almost, as there are human beings.
Some tumble for a living, some run
banks, some sell in stores, others from
door to door, some manufacture auto
mobiles. soap, pins, clothes. furniture,
some play musical instruments
The list is too long to extend, nor is
1t necessary; the only point in begin
ming it Is to bring to the reader sense
of the infinite variety of human
occupations.
Those engaged in the busy ways of
the world know the incessant search
for money which goes on. sometimes
for the moneys sake, more often for
the sake of those things which money
will buy.
Now in this bulk Of the populace
there is a certain percentage, so very
small that no one would dare say just
how many, Of men and women who
actually have no liking for money.
X X X X
These people sometimes are regarded
as laz by the grasping type, who fail
to un, stand how any one can have
less i've for money than themselves.
No attitude could be more unfair. IN
selfish men and women honestly lack
what the members of the other type
possess In abundance, a strong desire
for more and more money, and unless
the latter are willing to admit this
they will continually do injustice to
the others in their everyday con-
SiderationS OF them.
Advantage will be taken of their easy.
going dispositions, and their apparent
lack of desire to get along in the
world. They will find themselves re-
garded as easy marks" and held up
to contempt as unprogreSsive and lack
ing ambition, when the trouble is that
they are misunderstood.
Theirs would be Sade fate, If 1t were
not for their kindly dispositions, which
save them from the slurs of their mates.
The law of compensation has been vari-
ously eXpounded, the general theory
being that Nature attempts to COM
pensate her children by giving them one
gift for another denied.
X X
The compensation given men and
women lacking sense of greed is moth
ing more nor less than an indifference
to so much that others regard as essen
tial.
1t is related of one Of the Greek phi
losophers that, looking into the shops OF
Athens, he came away remarking, How
many things there are 1 do not want" :"
This negative sort of virtue has its
positive side. It is not so much renun-
ciation as helpful. lack of covetousness,
It is not SO much an indifference to
beauty and novelty as the saving grace
of satisfaction.
Those who are forever wanting big
ger and better automobiles perhaps will
never understand the man or woman
who wants no automobile at all.

A Measure of Housekeeping.

Early next month hearing will be
held before the Commissioners at the
District Building on a proposed new
code of regulations governing signs and
billboards in the Capital. A bill to
this effect, empowering the Commits
sioners to perfect and enforce regula-
tions affecting signs, has been drafted
for submission to Congress. In an
ticipation Of its enactment a proposed
code has likewise been drafted, to be
adopted and enforced in case legislative
approval is given.
At present the conditions with re-
gard to signs, posters, displays Of all
kinds and outdoor advertising devices
are decidedly unsatisfactory Unsightli-
ness is caused by the laxity of regula-
ton. The Commissioners are without
power to keep order, as it were, in the
streets of the city. Take, for example,
the case Of vacant buildings, stores
particularly. The windows of such
structures may be plastered with all
kinds of advertising signs and an
nouncements, remaining indefinitely
and presenting a most untidy appear
ance, for the cure of which there is
no remedy.
Billboard advertising is a nuisance
in this country that calls for correction
Some of the States have made begin
ming toward the abatement of this
nuisance, or its modification. Most
large cities, too, have brought the out
door business displays under regula-
ton and restriction. Washington has
no means of protection against dis
figurement of this character and the
proposed measure is designed to pro-
vide that safeguard. Under the con-
templated code large painted or posted
signboards would eventually be elimi-
mated, as requirements are forbidden.
There will be opposition to- the en-
actment of this enabling law and to
the detailed regulations If the law is
passed. But those who wish to see
Washington kept in good order and
freed from disfgurements and slovenly
conditions will support both the legis-
lation and the regulations.
