SCHWAB SEEKS
time TO PLAY
Turning Management of
His Millions to Others.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Charles
M. Schwab, at the age of Sc, is to
turn the management of his MID
lions over to others so he may have
more time to play, well-informed
friends said today.
He will retain the chairman
ship of the board OF the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, but has arranged
to place his stock holdings in the
hands of trustees.
Friends emphasized that Schwab
merely desired to have more time
for leisure and that he would re-
tain his interest in various con-
Germs.
For some time Schwab, who vir-
tually has devoted his life to the
steel industry, has been turning
over details of the management of
the Bethlehem Corporation to Eu-
gene G. Grace, its president.
Other companies with which
Schwab is connected include Chi
cago Pneumatic Tool Company,
Stutz Motor Car Company, Metro
politan Life Insurance Company,
Chase National bank, Empire Trust
Company, Splitdorf Bethlehem
Electrical Company, Vanadium Cor
poration of America, United Zinc
and Smelling Corporation, Tonopah

Indiana Mother
Knew the Way

Every mother knows what it
means when her child begins to get
underweight, pale, listless, bilious,
feverish and fretful, with bad
breath, coated tongue and no APP
petite. What every one Of them
doesn't know is that it's dangerous
to use harsh methods to start the
little stomach and bowels.
There's no use experimenting in
such cases. Millions of mothers have
proved the merit and reliability of
pleasant-tasting, purely vegetable
California Fig Syrup. 1t gently
clears up the most stubborn cases
of constipation; stimulates the ap-
petite; gives tone and strength to
weak stomach and bowels so they
continue to act normally, of their
own accord; and makes palefi life
less children, bright, rosy-cheeked
and full of energy.
An Indiana mother, Mrs. A. G.
RugenStein, 1913 Madison Ave-, In
dianapolis, says: MY little son,
Robert, developed constipation. He
became bilious. pale and fretflh,
had no appetite and couldn't digest
right. He was losing weight. I had
used California Fig Syrup with my
older daughter. so I gave it to him.
1t regulated him quick. He began
eating heartily and digesting every
thing. Soon he was his robust,
happy self again.
Ask for California Fig Syrup by
the full name so you'll get the genu-
inc, endorsed by physicians for over

PROHIBITION is
SUCCESS, SAY
DRY CRUSADERS
Flying Squadron Founda-
ton Gives 18th Amend
ment Credit for Prosperity.

Prohibition has been a success.
1T is not a coincidence that the
country is more prosperous and
happy than at any time under the
regime of the saloon.
Drinking and drunkenness have
been reduced. The old-time gutter
drunkard is gone.
An intoxicated man in public at
tracts general attention, whereas in
former days he was passed un-
noticed"
These statements were made by
The Flying Squadron Foundation in
an address to the American peo-
pie" authorized by the foundation
directors at a meeting here Wednes-
day night. The foundation head
quarters are located here.
Laud Dry Results
In addition to lauding the results
of prohibition the statement pointed
out two aims toward which the
friends of prohibition should work.
At the time of the adoption of
nationwide prohibition enforce
ment was left mostly to the federal
government, the statement said.
Local officials we're more or less in
different and all eyes we're on Wash
ington, but Washington has not
done its full duty.
Now local communities must take
up the task, it stated.
The necessity for the capturing
of the Democratic party is due to
the possibility that the Republican
party may some day lose power and
leave the drys in a precarious posi-
tion if the Democrats should take
control while still under the inf1u-
ence of the vets.
Some Democrats Dry
The statement declared, however,
that the Democratic party is dry
in many sections of the country in
spite of the fact that the opponents
of prohibition captured the Houston
convention and nominated Governor
Al Smith.

AL CALLS ON
DEMOCRATS TO
REBUILD PARTY
Progressive, Vigorous and
Militant Future Urged
in Radio Speech.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Former
Governor Alfred E. Smith wants
the Democratic party to wipe out
its 1928 deficit and rebuild for the
future along progressive, vigorous
and militant" lines.
Addressing a national radio audi
fence Wednesday night, the defeat
ed presidential candidate sounded
the keynote for drive to get a
fighting Democratic organization
formed now.
He called upon the rank and file
for contributions to clear the
81, 100000 deficit in the party treas
ury; and proposed that the Demo-
Gratis organize and maintain per-
manent machine.
Fight for Peoples Rights
The party, he said, should not be
one merely for opposition, but
should be prepared to function def
nitely and continuously for the
rights of all people: constantly la
boring for the vindication of the
policies and principles underlying
the establishment Of our country
Smith spoke as private citizen,
calling attention to his forthcoming
southern visit and his present free
dom from political Office for the
first time in twenty-five years.
There was nothing to indicate his
own future plans, and nothing-be-
yond the fact of his taking the
initiative in the new party cam
paign-to show he intends to con-
tinue the role of party leader
henceforth.
Views Like ROOseVelt's
His ideas closely paralleled the
views voiced by Governor Franklin
D. Roosevelt of New York after the
Roosevelt Smith conference in Al
bany Sunday.
To meet the deficit, Smith pro-
posed to have the Democratic ma
tional committee send to con-
tributors of So or more a book of
his campaign addresses of which,
he said, there had been a consider
able demand.
Smith insisted that party which
polled nearly 100000 popular
votes should be a tremendous factor
in the politics of the country"

FONTS For and Against
the Lending of Books

A movement against lending books
has been started in the interests Of
authors and booksellers. The argu-
ment is that the book lender makes
book prices high because the borrower
does not buy. Publishers would sell
at least twice as many books If friend
ly lending stopped"
This may or may not be true; there
is no way Of proving 1t. 1t may well
be that the person who couldn't bor-
row a book from its private owner
would get 1t from a library, or
wouldn't get 1t at all. On the other
hand, the borrower Of a book some
times takes such liking to 1t that he
buys 1t for his own collection, or for
q Christmas or birthday gift.
What we find so hard to understand
about the book business is that the
publishers are opposed to any idea
that tends to make reading easy and
popular. They are opposed to book
buying clubs; they insist on expensive
paper and stiff bindings; and yet they
complain because the average individ-
ual refuses to gamble $3.50 to So on a
blurb jacket. No doubt the price Of
books would come down IL there were
more buyers; there would also be more
buyers If the price should come down.

Sun Is Comparatively
Cold Beside AIdebaran

The hottest known thing In the uni.
verse Is said to be the red star known
as Aldebaran, which is sun like our
sun, but vastly bigger. Astronomers
reckon that its surface temperature is
round about $4,000 degrees Centigrade,
as compared with the mere 5000 de-
grees that constitute the surface tenn
perature of our sun. But Aldebaran is
so far away from us-nearly two mil
lion times as far from the earth as
is our sun-that the amount of heat
we get from 1t doesn't count. The sun
on the other hand, Is, so to speak,
quite close to US. II Is a huge ball
of incandescent gas, and 1t is the heat
rays emanating from this gigantic
furnace that burn your face brown in
summer after having Travelled 92,000,-
600 miles through space. These rays
travel outwards from the sun In all
directions, which is well for us; be-
cause If they were focused, even for n
single second, on this earth, 1t would
explode like gigantic bombshell,
changed instantaneously into blazing
hot gas.

Left Study of Law to .aJ n
Write Songs That Live

One OF the songs that mother sang,
long ago 1t seems, began: DARBY
dear, we are old and gray; fifty years
since our wedding day" A plaintive
melody IT was that buried the sand
man on his rounds. United States
midshipmen still march to and sing
of Nancy Lee who waves her hands
upon the quay" Wherever English
speaking sailors gather the song is
sung. More modern are "The Holy
City," "Ships of My Dreams" and
"Rose of Picardy." All are the work
of an Englishman.
Frederick Edward Weatherly was
his name. He was born October 4,
1S4S; graduated from Brasenose col
lege, Oxford, in 1871; admitted to the
bar, Inner temple, London, 1887.
Thereafter he turned poet and wrote
the songs of the English-speaking
world and let who would look after
Its law. Only a few of his more ia
nous songs have been named here.
1t is not to be wondered at that Of
his large output many have been for
gotten. The wonder is rather that a
man trained in the dry and dusty
iniricacles Of law should have created
songs so near to being immortal, in
the sense at least Of living long
time.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Painter Had Flattered
Kings "Picture Bride

5 Mutchnakers murmured the names
Of various Germans. But Charles II
tot England turned away. "'Ods
ASH They are all fat and foggyl /
will have none Of them"
The choice fell upon Catharine Of
BrHganza, third daughter Of the queen
regent of Portugal. Charles waived
politics, waived even the religious
question. What Charles wanted to
know was whether or not she was
good looking. The Portuguese am
bassador swore that Catharine was a
dazzling beauty. The French and
Spanish ambassadors declared she was
ugly beyond description. A portrait
finally settled the matter. It showed
Catharine to be the flower of beauty
described by the Portuguese ambas-
sador.
However, when she arrived in the
flesh 1t was found she did not live up
to that picture. Even good old Sam
Pepys, always gallant, damned her
with faint praise-"though she be not
very charming, yet she hath a good,
modest, and innocent look, which is
pleasing. "-Donald Bar Chldsey, in

Some Discomforts in
Early Railroad Travel

When railroading fl this country
was in the experimental stage, now
more than a century ago, a traveller
related in an article published in pa
pers of that time how he had to wait
on the platform Of the station at
Charleston, s. O., for several hours
after the scheduled departure Of his
train so the engineer and fireman
might test their engine by running it
back and forth.
As he, with other passengers, were
seated In the tiny cars, the engine
finally tugged and pulled until the
train was well under way; but soon
1t began to slow down, and before
long 1t stopped. Pine knots were
showed into the furnace door, steam
was raised, and the little train was
on its way again, but stopping every
so often to "get up steam."-Kansas

influence of the Table

One of the greatest institutions Of
the civilized world is the family din
ing table. In literature and fable,
writers have dwelt long and lovingly
on the hearth. No doubt the hearth is
important, but for influence the table
has II far outdistanced. To begin
with, the hearth is used only In win
ter when II is cold, while the table
takes no account Of weather. Then
the hearth serves as point of assem-
bly, but once day, in the evening,
while the table Is used three times.
Last and most important, the hearth
holds only fire while the table holds
food.-TheodOre Roosevelt in All the
