THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The Romans had o name for It
quite word. too.
"Nomenculator, or name-prompter
was what they called the slave who At
tended a candidate for office.
When a man was electioneering, then
as now, it was expedient to address by
his right name one whose vote was be-
ing solicited.
1t was the duty of the nomenculator
or nomenclator, as We say today. to
whisper to him the names OF innu-
entail people they met.
Imagine Cassius Tranquillius. candi-
date for tribune, walking through the
forum with his trusted slave.
"Yonder, comes young Caesar" says
the nomenclator, with nudge"
Good morning. o Caesar" or word.
to that effect, promptly Jumps from the
mouth Of Cassius.
: Ca. Caesar; not yet great feels himself
why, he knows me by name" he
says to himself. -
Greetings" he says. aloud. "Nice
weather, is it not?"
-
Surely, some such ofncer as nomen.
culator, or nomenclAtor, would be 9
handy person to have around many
time.
who is there who has not forgotten
some persons name, and just at the
wrong time, too?
You are walking down the street
with o friend, when along comes q
large and imposing gentleman who
sreets YOU with q wide smile and hearty
handshake.
How are you?" he asks, calling you
"Great!" you reply, permitting IN
extra amount OF warmth to make up
for your utter lack of recognition. Nice
chap, shame to fail to remember his
name. Maybe we won't know
Nice weather, amt it," the chap
goes on. Same sort Of thing Caesar
said in the forum about 1000 years
ago. Always good, though. What
Gandhi said to King George and King
George said to Gandhi
Then he looks at your friend.
Friend looks at unknown gentleman
Both look at you.
p,cin'r. YOU are expected to introduce
them.
Oh, for . nom menclator
A nice, fat nomenclator. who would
b, ablc II 'hisper the chep's name
into your ear.
Instead. you must resort to the usua
subterfugs.
Jim" you say, loudly fyou know hi
name9, meet my friend--Mr. Hun
Cha"
"olad to meet cha, chum Cha"
80 1t goes.
You blur over the syllables. 10 that
your friend has no idea whether yol
said Hum Cha or Bum Chap. And the
worst of it. or maybe the best Of 1t. 1.
that the unknown hasn't any idea
either.
You all stumble along the best you
can ,'or the life Of you. you are un-
able to re all the fellows name. A.
the late Emile Coue explained. the
harder you attempted to remember. the
less chance you had Of remembering
The more you willed to recall, the
surer you were OF not recalling. The
Will Is stubborn.
An hour later, when you were al
by yourself, and thinking Of something
else entirely, you proved Prof. Coue
absolutely correct.

patient" The drive itself impresses the
Harrisburg Telegraph with the fact that
l. reveals the Presidents opinion that
the tide has turned and that time
for investment and expenditure Is
here" The Telegraph concludes: Money
hidden in old socks and under floors

restricted TO the amount Of several bill
lions Think what would happen il
credit to that amount were suddenly
available to those who desire to 90
ahead. but cannot because of inability
to finance their undertakings. Every
man who has dollar hidden is help
ing to hold back prosperity"
tribute to the Presidents under
taking is paid by the Scn jose Mar-
curry Herald with the statement: While
the President has the reputation Of
being an extreme individualist. his most
distinguishing quality is his insistence
upon the need OF teamwork on a Ma

the problem to which he has devoted
his attention. His approach to the

construction Corporation is heavy ar
tlllery. throwing against it the -ina4.-

credit measures throw these resources
in particular places where depression
is intrenched"
Quoting the Presidents statement
that every dollar boarded means a
destruction Of from five to ten dollars
OF credit" the indianapolis News COM
ments: In a word, there is from So
100000, GOO to sl3,o00,O 600. 900 of credit
imperative solely as an outcome of
hoarding. The lack Of confidence en-
gencered by the practice spreads; it
leaves nc course open to solvent finan-
cial institutions other than to keep an
abnormal percentage of their assets
highly liquid if they would be assured
of maintaining themselves: inevitably
they have to restrict accommodation 10
their customers, and these must limit
their own commitments.
In the war we are fighting now"
says the Omaha World Herald. the
hoarder are the slackerS. That docs
not mean they should be reckless
spenders instead. What is called for
is careful investment, wise buving, de-
posit in sound institutions, the same
as in normal times. That course, in
cash ana credit, could bring almost IS
billions OF dollars TO work that now
ale idle Fifteen billions of active
dollars would mean work for millions
Of men and women, who now must de-
pend upon charity for their bread. It
would set the furnaces to going and
the wheels to whirring and the prices

mer to follow the Winter of our dis

The country joins with President
Hoover in giving assurance to timid
hoarders of money that they should
restore their funds TO circulation and
thereby increase the credit resources
that are needed for the recovery Of
business and in meeting unemployment.
1t Is pointed out that money hidden
away produces no profit and that con-
fldence has already been increased by
the creation of the Finance Corpora
ton.
All right, let's quit boarding" SAYS
the St. Louis Times. Maybe there isn't

With Col. Frank Knox at its head"
remarks the Lincoln State Journal, "a
national organization formed by the
President is going to undertake the
enormous task of bringing back into
circulation millions OF dollars OF
boarded money. The sum is estimated
at billion and third The purpose

country is in need of this stimulation"
The State Journal emphasizes the mag
nltude of the task and advises that
the only hope is to educate the people
to the needs OF the day and. if pos
sible, to appeal to their patriotism"
The hoarder is essentially a timid
creature according to the Providence
Journal. on-hoarding is based on
faith-legitimate faith in the future of
this Nation and its strong institutions.

The First Air Strike.

Aviation is going the way OF all
skilled trades. Pilots, for their better
protection in the matter of wages and
hours OF labor, have organized as q
union. Now comes . wage cut on one
Of the commercial lines. and the pilots,
refusing to accept the reduction, have
flown out. Literally, they have taken
to the air In refusal to operate the
companys planes. They have gone
aloft with planes bearing placards ex-
pressive of their determination not to
submit to the cruel rule Of their en-
ployers. Says the head Of their or
ganization: We don't believe in vio-
lence. but We want our message Sar-
ried before the public and have chosen
our own modern way of doing It,"
Perhaps these revolters will 60 in for

they will drop leaflets. There Is .

the way Of "picketing" by plane. The

sensational new developments. Mean
while the public that has become air
minded and likes to travel by plane
will be wondering where it gets Of. 1t
certainly does not want to get of while
aloft. It does not want to go flying
with incompetent pilots. 1t Likewise
1oes not want to take OF in planes
