And The Dance Goes On

Business may remain In the doldrums. unemploy-
ment may stick at an appalling figure and the bread
lines may grow longer and longer; nevertheless, the
nation Is still sound. A female social director" In
New York announces that debut parties for the
daughters OF Park avenue millionaires will cost s4O,-
600 apiece this winter. hard times or no.
All Of this ought to be immensely encouraging, es-
pecially to those who fondly believe that prosperity
vii return overnight if the people who have money
will only spend 1t freely. Forty thousand dollars Is
a good deal Of money. even on Park avenue. Think
Of the starving florists. confectioners. jewelers.. special
ty shop proprietors and dress-makers who VIII benefit
through this Park avenue generosity
Nor Is there any sense in being unduly critical
about 1t. After all. a Girl is only young once. II Is
distressing to imagine the disappointment that would
assail the daughters Of wealth II their coming out
parties had to be curtailed: even more distressing TO
think Of the emotions Of fond mothers whose desires
for ostentatious display might have to be thwarted.
AL l. for the best. and the dance must 60 on.
However. 1t is just possible that there may be. here
and there In this great land. men who will be slightly
disturbed BY this business. Human nature Is sadly
afflicted with envy. and the father Of a family who
has 10 stand in line for a bowl Of soup on a cold
winter evening might. Just conceivably. feel somewhat
bitter about II I'll.
For the fact that Park avenue will have its $4,000
parties this winter suggests that there may be, some
where. a fundamental inequality in our noble Ameri-
can civillzatlon. IL Is upl1tlng 70 reflecJ on the mul-
titude Of chances which America offers her poverty
stricken children; but the keen edge Is taken off Of
that reflection by the spectacle Of $4,000 parties that
are thrown In a city where many thousands Of pepole
are only a few PAGES away from actual starvation.
Ask the officials or rescue missions. the clerks In
employment bureaus and the directors Of charitable
enterprises how much real distress there IS in the
land today. Digest their answers carefuny-and then
re-read this item about the daughters OF the rich
and see how 1t tastes.
It i better. perhaps. not TO think about IL all For
If one does. one Is apt-nay. certain-to come TO the
conclusion that there must be something wrong with
an economic and social system which produces such
rlaring. stupid and unjust contrasts between extreme
wealth and extreme poverty.

Cars Won't Float
Monday afternoon an automobile

water In a deep ditch on the edge OF
the highway between Brownsville
and Olmito. The occupants, Mr..
and Mrs. John L. Dick Of Rio Hon

Cars won't float. The Dicks know
It today. we suppose.
And the incident reminds US OF
two other similar occurrences. While
on a hunting trip into the interior
Of Mexico, a a belonging TO John
Rutledge, Edinburg, slipped off a
light ferry boat and sank Even the
top was out of sight. Mexicans we're
asked TO dive and recover guns and
ammunition. They made several
trips to the bottom. and then a bag
OF apples broke and the fruit began
TO bob to the surface. The Mexi-
cans left the guns and started chas-
ing apples.
Another chap. this one very intox-
icated. had an argument with q
friend on Washington Beach. The
friend had just purchased a boat
for $50. The intoxicated person had
a big Lincoln touring "a
If your $50 boat will float, my

put up his curtains. backed off about
a hundred yards. and stepped on the
gas. The large car hurried into the
breakers, sank out OF sight. and as
far Is we know. is stiIl there.

The commission held, however. that

this condition be remedied by raising

taking them out Of contact with tree

It was further ruled by the commits
