Happy Over Health

1T finally got so bad that 1
fell into the mood myself. I
listened as long as I could to
one ex-millionaire and finally
interrupted him.
"'That's too bad, Arthur, l
said, but how about my case?
I'm not making the money I
once did either. How about
shedding a few tears for me-,
"He laughed right in my
kisser.
"'Jack,' he cried. don't talk
nonsense. You've got the most
precious thing in the world
your health. You're young and
you're healthy. We older fel-
lows are going to have a tough
time, even though we still have
a million or two in the bank.
We're going to find it hard
to start over. But not you.
mo, sir. When you say
you haven't very much, you're
fooling yourself. You have
health, my boy. Health. which
is something that means more
than all the money in the
world
The comedian paused. He
shook his head.
Would you believe it, Mark"
he continued, Il heard that ex-
act same spiel from seven or
eight men on that one night.
Everywhere I sat, somebody
leaned over and told me not to
worry because I had my health
After while, the thing began
to get me. Never in all my life
had I attached quite so much
Importance to health. And
when finally left the spot,
was quite convinced that-Since
health meant WEALTH. was
one of the richest men in the
world.
About 10 of us went over to
Reuben's restaurant for an
early morning bite. When we
were through the waiter came
around and handed me the
check. I looked at the total
and I threw it back at him.
"I haven't any money 1
told him, but I have something
that is better than cash. Do
you mind if I pay you off in
health?"
"And what do you think hap
pened, Mark? They threw me
out on my earl"

look healthy to you?"
1 nodded vigorously.
II should say you do, Jack,
I returned. You look like a
new man. Your eyes are as
clear as they can be. Your
mind is sharper than it was
in the days when you'd para
lyze them every Sunday night

That's enough" he inter
rupted. Il asked you that
question in order to tell you
story-and not to have you
tell me a column. That health
angle is a funny thing. And
I've been doing my best to
find out what it's all about

puzzled.
what are you talkin g
about?" I questioned. What
health angle?"
We'll" he went on, its
this way. At the opening OF
one of the hotel roofs the other
night, they had me up as a
master of ceremonies. 1t was
a class Joint, and all the birds
who had millions before the
depression were out IN tull

Before the night was over
I had to spend a few minutes

DECLINE IN STEEL
BUSINESS REPORTED
Nearly All Markets Show Down
ward Swing, but Low Inven-
tories Promise Rise Later.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 16.-Iron
Age today reported decline in steel
business in nearly all markets except
Cleveland, where automobile buying has
given production a further lift.
The general averags of 'ingot output
has eased to 19 per cent Of capacity
against 1875 per cent week ago, al
though Cleveland Is up 8 points to SO
per cent, Wheeling is at 40 per cent and
the Buffalo district is doing better.
However, Birminghan's production has
fallen to 10 per cent and smaller de-
clines have occurred at Chicago and
Youngstown, while Pittsburgh mills
barely hold their IT per cent average.
"A policy of caution among buyers,
which began to affect orders adversely
during the latter half of October" said
the review, "has not been altered even
with the election uncertainty out Of the
way. On the contrary, the placing Of
some tonnage under consideration be-
fore the election has been indefinitely
postponed.
Among jobbers there is a definite in
dication that pre-inventory considera-
tions are affecting purchases, but steel
stocks in the hands of manufacturing
consumers are so small that any check
upon manufacturers orders, If general
business continues to improve, will have
a favorable effect later on.
THE automobile industry Is the one
major steel-consumtng channel that Is
pushing ahead with some degree of ag-
gressiveness, but even here marked ac-
tivity is largely confined to few COM
panies."

that cold weather in the Southwest
would be especially hard on young
wheat, and in particular on Wheat
where the soil was dry or the plant
was fly infested. Meanwhile, Liverpool

Starting Features of
1882 Show.
BY BATES RANEY
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.--This Is a
back seat drivera year.
The 1887 models, on exhibition to-
day at the thirty-second annual
automobile show, do everything but
drive themselves.
Take a ride in composite car
including the best features of the
300 automobiles crowded on four
floors of the Grand Central Palace
The thirty-two manufacturers OF
those cars represent all the leaders
but Henry Ford AS usual Ford is
abstaining. He will bring out his
new model later.
This red car looks good. That's
the favorite color this year. Notice
the stream-lined radiator with the
chromium plating. And the high
lacquer finish on the body.
Starts Automatically
This composite car represents
$1,880,000,00O invested capital. It's
manufacture provided work fol
100000 persons. But the price is
lower, with a great increase ir
quality.
Hop in, and try it out.
There is no self-starter button
That's obsolete. Just put the KEY
in the ignition lock and turn it
That automatically starts the en-.
CINE. It'll restart should it stall
That's real safety feature for be.
ginners.
Don't look for a choker. There
isn't any. That button on the in.
strument board is thermostatiC
heat control for manifold tempera.
ture regulation. It has eliminated
the old-fashioned choker and guess.
ing by the driver on the amount Of
choke for starting a cold engine.
Now comes the best feature of al
ride control. Without moving
from the drivers seat, one can ad :
Just the shock absorberS to COM
pensate for rough or smooth roads
last or slow driving and for differ
enceS IN passenger loading.
nOtOr rs Graded
AND that isn't all. See that but
ton on the dash board Just to the
right of the steering column? Just
push it in or pull it out and you
regulate free wheeling-it's like the
OLD coaster brake on bicycle-it's
not even necessary to adjust the
free wheeling button to 60 into
reverse now.
You needn't worry about the
gears being stripped either. With
the new synchro-silent mesh trans
mission it's almost impossible.
There's less vibration, too. Our
floating power-the engine is in a.
sort Of cradle which gives it only
an indirect attachment to the
chasSis-removes lot of vibration.
Helps Hill Climbers
Then there's dual ratio or two
speed axles. That helps in climb
ing hills. 1t gives you instant
adaptation of engine speed and
wheel power to driving conditions
without affecting the speed of the
car.
Here's a new wrinkle. When GO
ing around a curve those two small,
extra headlights mounted Just
above the front bumper swing
around automatically to face the
curve. They light up the turns.
There are another thousand and
one new details. The statesmen will
describe to all who hesitate before
the 1882 models all this week.

Charley, ChiIdren'S Friend,
Lives Rent Free in
Tiny Home.

Charley pays no rent, and the
latch-string always is out at his
18x7-foot home at 1852 Hillside ave-
nue..
The neighborhood youngsters al
ways are hanging out around
Charley's place. He has apples anc
candy to give away at times, and
then, too, who could resist his pigmy
home?
Charley" is Charles Merrell, so.
He's lived in his small shack of
Hillside on the alley for the past
two years without being pestered by
the landlord.
Birds, Dogs and Kids There
Two canary birds, Billy and Bet
ty, and his rat terrier, Buster, are
other reason why Hillside avenue
urchins flock to "Charley's."
Odd jobs buy food for Charley in
his one-room shanty. And between
those odd jobs his hammer beats a
tattoo, fixing an observatory to the
rear of his home.
Sure, the observatory may OBJ
serve nothing but tin cans and ash
heaps when it's finished. but it'll
be an observatory for all that, made
from discarded window panes.
Comfy on Cold Days
When frigid days come you can
always bank on hearing Civil war
or two fought in his kitchen bv
cronies who visit him.
You'll know he's home by the
curling smoke from the stubby
chimney, aslant the shanty.
Don't knock! Just walk right in
and say "Howdy' to Buster and
Charley, for they truly live by the
side of the road and, we suspect, are
friend to man.
