Integrity Is Rule in Finance

From the Pasadena Star-News.
There comes a breach of trlst-the
theft of huge sums by trusted tndt-
vidual or a small group-and straight
way the public becomes startled, suspi-
cious, and many persons become unreal
sonably fearful and distrustful. A glar-
ing case of breach of trust should cause
the people to think soberly and to take
stock of such things. Naturally, the
general reaction to the Hollywood loot
ing is suspicion of the management OF
that particular institution. There is
feeling that, besides heinouS crimfnality
on the part of the person or persons
who systematically robbed them for
years, there was inexcusable negligence
or consummate incompetency or crimi-
nal collision. The whole truth should
be found and laid bare in connection
with that institution, not only to detect
and punish the guilty, but to point the
way for prevention OF such crimes In
future.
It is pertinent at this time to dwell
a bit upon the remarkable integrity,
substantially and trustworthineSs OF
financial and business institutions in
California and throughout the Nation.
Do you ever pause to ponder the fact
that some 95 per cent Of all business
in the United StateS-running into bill
lions week.-Mrs. based upon confidence?
There Is not money enough in the
United States to conduct business If in
each and every business transaction ac-
tual cash had to be paid. The amount
of money in actual circulation Is but
few billion dollars. But business trans
actions run into tens Of billions of dol
lars annually. The volume OF business
that is done upon confidence-upon
credit, upon public trust in the honesty
and fidelity Of men of affairs-is stag
geringly large. And is it not a fact
that this confidence is justified? Is 1t
not a fact that men and institutions
that stand back Of and underwrite these
stupendous sums that are paid by check
or business paper Of one kind or an
other are so nearly universally honest
that the comparatively few breaches OF
trust are negIigible-that such breaches
do not make ripple upon the great
ocean Of finance and investment and
saving and business in the United
States?
The public has confidence in the
banks and other standard financial con-
Germs and flduciary institutions through
out the land, and this public confidence
is justified.

Millions for improvements.

From the st. Louis Times.
Public buildings have figured extern
sively in recent years in industrial ac-
tivity, but no program Of the past has
ever equaled the plan already in hand
for 1881. It is a rare Christmas pres
ent for the Nation.
President Hoover, in an of1icial state
ment, says that public works in the
year to come viii reach q cost of $724,-
900, 000-a stupendous figure. This will
include buildings, ships, highways, air
craft and waterway expansion. And
most of the money spent, in the last
analysis, will go for labor, not only in
the actual work Of construction, but in
the making of the material used.
The conservative thought Is that this
is an extravagant program, that the
money that goes into it must sooner or
later come from the pockets of the tax
payers. Quite true. But 1t will mean
q more efficient country, q more pro-
ductive land and more beautiful out
look
No news that has come out Of the
White House in recent years has been
more forward-looking than the infur-
nation Of our puhlie- works program &cg

dent. that many people are using the
old automobile q little longer, it is OBJ

Of the optimism that is felt in all quar-
ters respecting an early revival Of busi-
ness. The "old automobile" cannot
continue to be used indefinitely. It
must soon be replaced. Just so the

to do duty for two seasons as q measure
Of economy must be succeeded by new

worn indefinitely.
If with a returning sense Of security
in the future one-half of the motor car
owners of the United States should de-
eide to replace their old machines they
would contribute tremendously to the
revival of business. For every car and
truck that Is made and sold, the Presi-
dent noted in his talk last night. adds
to employment in a hundred different
trades The stimulating effect of such
a decision by the motor users upon not
only the automotive industry but upon
all the lines of work which are allied
with and contributors to it would be
alone suficient to restore the country
to normal activity and employment.

Bravo. Balbol

Mussolini's flying men have done it.
Ten great italian seaplanes, which left
Portuguese Guiana in Africa early yes
terday morning, descended safely in the
harbor Of Natal, Brazil, before shutdown
the same day. It was a squadron of
a dozen ships" which took of for the
Southern Atlantic hop. All but two ac-
complished the flight. One descended
at sea soon after the start. The other
almost reached destination on this side
before coming to grief just of the
Brazilian coast
This feat of Italian airmanship, Under
the personal command of Gen. Italo
Balbo, Fascist air minister, takes high
rank in the romantic realm of aviation.
Here beneath the skies of the Wrights
and of Lindbergh, our hats are on to
II Duce'S intrepid knights of the air.
They negotiated 1875 miles of oceanic
distance in approximately seventeen
hours and fifteen minutes, for the first
planes which dropped down in Brazilian
waters. 1t is proud achievement, and,
as the first transatlantic flight to be
achieved in group formation, is epoch
making.
Secretary Of the Navy Adams is mod
crate In saying that the Balbo expedi-
ton Is another distinct step in the
advance Of aviation" Perhaps the fu-
ture of long-distance passenger air traf-
nc lies in travel by plane squadrons
rather than in individual ships" Of
large carrying capacity.
. In any event, the Italians thrilling
exploit opens up yet another vista in
the unfathomable possibilities of air
transport. 1t is genuine pioneering
stuff.

Migraine.

form of headache, to whom it will pay

unusual, and secured frst-page place

There Is q great deal more to it than
novelty, however. There are thousands
Of persons suffering from migraine in

The regularity Of the attacks ID almost

Since headaches ofIer no outward

accuse such sufferers Of malingering,
and no doubt severe injustice has been
done TO thousands Of persons, especially
women. Men. however. are as prone to

Hysteria or PoliticsH

Gov Harvey Parnell, the Democratic
Governor Of Arkansas, and DR.. John
Barton Payne, chairman of the Amer
lean Red Cross, have taken issue with
the Arkansas Senators over the measure
of suffering in the State, due to the
drought. Instead of backing up the
contention Of the Senators that the
Federal Government should appropriate
SIS, 100000 more money than was au-
thorized in the drought relief measure
put through before Christmas and that
provision should be made for the use
Of this fund to buy food for the people
Of the drought-striken sections, these
ofhcials say that the situation in Arkan-
sas is not as bad as has been painted
and that 1t Is being well handled.
The American people In the past have
met periods of depression, with millions
Of persons out of work and situations
Of distress due to drought and food,
through private contribution and the
aid Of the American Red Cross. That
has been the American method, instead
Of calling upon the Federal Govern
ment to spend money TO provide food
If the Governor of Arkansas is to be
credited-and there is every reason to
suppose that the Governor of q State
should be well informed and solicitous
for the welfare Of the people--the sit
uation Is being handled adequately
today in that State by the usual Amer
lean method.
Despite the evidence given by John
Barton Payne before the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee, indicating that
the Red Gross is able to deal with the
situation, aided by the civic spirit in
the cities where funds are being raised,
threats are made by some of the Sena-
tors to "hlibuster" II the House does
not agree to the $4,000, 900 increase
in the drought relief bill, which, under
the terms of the Senate amendment,
would be available for the purchase Of
food for the needy.
When the Congress put through the
drought relief bill before it went away
for q two-weeks' Christmas holiday, it
was announced by the leaders that
Congress would not think OF taking q
vacation unless the relief bills were
enacted. Apparently, the drought re-
lief so earnestly sought Is, after all, to
be held up indefinitely II the Senate
nlibuster Is carried out. The demand
for speed IN measures to relieve suf-
fering due to the drought Is to be aban-
doned. The old fight Of those mem
bers Of the Senate who take issue with
the administration over its relief plans
Is to be renewed, with no prospect Of
an early conclusion.
Why is it that statements made by
the head of the American Red Cross,
Judge Payne; by Governors Of States,
as in the case o. Gov. Parnell; by re-
sponsible heads OF city governments,
declaring that the unemployment and
drought situations are being met ade-
quately are discounted2 Is it possible
that the desire to cast mud, to show
that the Administrators program of
relief 10 inadequate, have anything to
do with what 10 occurring on Capitol
Hip Or is it because there are men,
bers Of Congress who are historical or
misinformed?

tinued?-K. 3. @.
A. The New York Clearing House As
Der 81, 1890, 1t would discontinue pub
lication Of daily exchanges and bal
anceS. Gambling rings throughout the
country have been using the figures as
a basis of q Nationwide lottery and

Q. Does wind affect the temperature
registered by thermometer?-F. F.
A. The Weather Bureau says that
the thermometer Is not affected by the
wind velocity after having once at
tanned the temperature of the wind.
The physical discomfort usually asso-
ciated with high winds is due to the
rapid removal Of heat from the human
body on account of the winds. AS no
heat is generated by q thermometer, its
readings are therefore not affected by
the wind velocity.
