Dollar Craftsmanship.
(New York Herald Tribune.) )

Having enjoyed himself thoroughly in his inves- tigaton of the international bankers, and having it must be granted spread number of rather inter esting details upon the record Senator Johnson cludes his exploits by bringing in pair of bills calculated to make the judicious weep and the amateur of American politics to pause The Sen ators contribution to financial statesmanship is to propose board made up of the Secretaries of State and Commerce and the Governor of the Federal Reserve Board with absolute veto all foreign bond loans. In passing upon sich loans the Sen ators board would have to consider not simply the political interests of the United States which might be involved but the sovency of the borrower, the soundness of the security and general financial wisdom of the investment
 The pleasant result which such a measure would produce must be obvious. Since even expert bankers are apparently not immune from mistakes, the Sen ators board would doubtless make some too When it appeared that this had happened the trusting investors who had bought their bonds the United States Governments certificate to their sound- ness would immediately demand (a) that the Gov ernment dispatch it's marines to collect and (b that in the mean while the Government reimburse the citizenry for their losses And the Government could not very well refuse After this had occurred few times, with all the consequential embroments, the official board would never dare to authorize any loan, and the United States would cease to be a part of the world economic system. Possibly that might please the Senator though it would make things a bit difficult for the United States
 The really interesting thing about the proposal, however is not the proposal itself but the fact that it could be advanced by statesman not immune to popularity. Fifteen years ago plan to make the Government in effect guarantor for the bloated bondholder plan which would result in pledging the resources of the people for the safety of the foreign investor would have elicted nothing but shocked astonishment among the populace. It would have been excoriated the summation of all pluto cratic wickedness Have ideas changed much-or have so many people gone in for foreign bonds that the Senator actually make political capital with the suggestion?

WILBUR WRIGHT IGNORED.

Wilbur Wright, whose country has been slow to recognize his great services in the field of avia ton, received posthumous honors recently when France officially dedicated a monument to his memory. In the presence of distinguished gather ing of French and American officials and aviation men, the shaft unveiled and dedicated. The ceremony took place at the field of Pontiong five miles from Pau, where the American genius set up the first flying school in the world nearly 25 years ago.
 It is worthy tribute to great man, the pioneer whose invention changed all of the conditions of war and peace, who found encouragement and assistance in France when they were denied him in his home land. But the project was made possible by the generosity of another American, Frederick Prince, New York banker, whose aviator was killed in battle during the World War
 In the land of his birth, the scene of his achieve ment. there is no imposing monument to the memory of this great American world figure. But it is pleasing to note that shaft now rises in land that has often co-operated with the United States in times gone by. In the fullness of time it is to be hoped that here in America some truly appro- priate memorial, nobly conceived and executed will be erected to this pioneer in the art of navigating the air.

E:NUME:RATORS RUN AGAINST
 TOUCH CASES
Mistaken for Bill Collect ors, Even Prohibi-
 ton Agents


 NEW YORK, Feb. IT. - Pity the poor enumerators gathering data for city directory, the first to be compiled here since 1925.
 They complain they are having tough time getting into some places where they must ask ques- tions.
 They are mistaken for bill col lectors, process servers, prohibi- tion agents and other such workers as might be drowned upon or fear ed in various locales,
 Uninformed tenement folk are by no means the only ones who have manifested suspicion concerning the prying enumerators. Uni formed flunkies at gilded apart ments have barred them as in- truders.
 One enumerator in a community of foreign-born was thought to be a representative of political or ganization in the old country. He barely escaped mobbing at the hands of an excited, babbling swarm of neighbors.
 Several have been offered bribeS or thereatened when they found themselves in speakeasies and be- gan their interrogations.
 Police have been instructed to as- sist the nose counters in getting irl- formation at addresses where they encounter obstacles.

PENALIzING SMALL BOAT OWNERS.

The perennial bill in Congress, to compel all vessels above Is gross tons to meet requirements of the Steamboat Inspection Service is undesirable legislation for the Pacific Northwest, however well it might meet conditions in other waters of the United States It would add excessively to the costs of small boat operation, making deep sea fishing particularly towing cruising aboard small yachts and other commercial boating almost impossible The Chamber of Commerce, in voicing vigorous ob- lection to its enactment by Congress represents truly the sentiments of the people of this district and is acting for their best interests.

HAS THE WHITE PLAGUE BEEN
 CONQUERED?

Of all human ailments, tuberculosis is the one that has caused mankind the greatest trouble. For ages the medical science has sought for cure by which it's ravages could be prevented. Treatment has long since been worked out but no specific remedy has been found despite the claims of many to the contrary.
 hailed few days ago in Lon- don; one that promises to give immunity from the disease. Dr. Henry Spahlinger, noted Swiss scien- tist announced in the presence of noted gathering that included the Marquis of Crewe, Agha Khan head of the Ismaili Mahomedans the Earl of Rose- bury. and Sir Arthur Stanbury former head of the British Red Cross. all of whom declared the occasion to be epoch-making issued the statement of a formula for vaccine said be immunzing.

|NUCCETPROBLEM
 NO. $ SOLU TON

This problem brought no correct answers. This is not strange as opponents would react differently according to their expertness as players. A good player notices every trick and subconsciously forms inn pressions that influences future plays, They can often be tricked where poor players cannot. It does not always work but it works often enough to be included in the re- pertoire of high class bridge teach CTS and players. Poker players call it bluff" and this problem illus trates the use of bluff in bridge.
 If you have clipped the above problem now lay it on the table and watch the play South can count as sure tricks, four spades and two clubs. In addition he ex- poets to take two tricks in hearts and one in diamonds-which if made will give him the nine tricks needed for game. South, however, correctly plays to, secure every trick possible by stratgic use of his strength. He scents the possibility of an extra trick in the club suit, and to obtain this starts at once to create the impression with the adversaries that he holds strength in diamonds.
 With this plan in mind, he cap- lures Vests first lead with the king of hearts, leads a spade from Dummy and captures it in the closed hand. The key play is now made-the three of diamonds. West naturally permits his first lead to pass and North captures with the king. Three rounds of spades fol- lowed by a heart forces East to choose between weakening his dia- monds or his clubs. AS South has voluntarily opened the diamond suit, seeming to indicate strength, East decides this is the suit in which he must be given battle, and so discards the club.
 This enabled South to take elev- en tricks instead of nine. The play is known as creating atmos- phere" and is a favorite of top flight players"
 This hand was actually played at a multi-table duplicate Bridge Tour nament in Boston and has been a favorite of bridge teachers for H. frustrating the above point.

 Cheaper Living.
(Boston News Bureau)

It is matter Of universal observation that the cost of living, as measured by what we consumers lpay at retail has kept declining in the recent past. Every housewife knows it. Bargain sales' emphasize it. The cold and somewhat belated Sta- tistics merely confirm it.
 It has been also evident from the steadily drop ping indices of commodity prices at wholesale, which for the past fortnight showed new low level of 1852, against 100 in 1926 At the other end of the tilt the purchasing power of the dollar had scared to 1854 cents in the same interval. Some folks made the mistaken assumption that we had more than $50 dollar at retail But 1t was only lat wholesale-with the lag between the two still lconjectural
 Now the Labor Departments Bureau of Labor Statistics comes to the It gives us its retail index for December l, based on count Of living costs in 32 cities, including many things which move little or slowly if at all, such as phone and trolley charges It gathers those data twice a year in June and December

INCOME OF CAPITAL AND LABOR
 STILL SHRINKING.

The operations of the steel and automobile in- dustries in January have improved trfle, but not to the degree indicative of an upturn in general buying AS President Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Company points out of the large steel con- sumers is evincng interest in placing important orders
 Thus business is adjusting itself to the pros- peet the prolongation of the period of sb-normal activity There is no effort to force the situation until sonwhere along the horizon appear shafts of light betokening the lifting of the clouds of de- pression.
 Washington it must be conceded is cooperating in the that it is moving slowly in formulat- ing fiscal policies and is endeavorng to avoid pac- ing too heavy taxation burden at upon in- dustry and the individual There will be no retro active tax measures. Method of balancing the tonal budget will be decided only after thorough canvass of all angles and interested parties
 Downward revisions of dividends and wages have not yet ended and further lowering of disburse- ments to capital and labor are inevitable in the immediate future. After that business is likely to go through the spring without serious develop ments in that direction The readjustment naturally involves further shrinkage in buying power but at least it provides a fairly solid basis upon which operations can thereafter be conducted
