And, last but not least, the con-
ductor of this column will be presi-
dent and general manager of the
corporation, which means that he
will have an Office filled with heavy
mahogany furniture and blends,
thus giving employment to the
furniture and blond industries, and
he won't have to turn out this col
umn any longer. Which will be

That's the road to prosperity, and
Mr.. Hoover deserves the thanks of
every one for pointing it out.

But, seriously speaking, many
years ago, when men wore whis-
kerS and women bustles, a loud, vi
brant musical voice was declaiming
from platforms over the nation in
such a campaign which closed Tues
day:
Burn down your cities and leave
our farms, and your cities will spring
up again as if by magic. But de-
stroy our farms and the grass will
grow in the streets Of every city in
the country"
1t was William Jennings Bryan,
my children, the long-haired un-
common commoner, who said that.
So President Hoover even can't
get the credit for this idea.
It's tough enough to lose the
presidency, but it is worse to lose
the proud privilege of being an au-
thor of a resounding phrase.

4 RIK
a DAY
BY BRUCE CATION

TINE late War Kreuger seems to
II have combined in one person
all the outstanding features of Ponzi
and Rockefeller.
He was half business genius and
half outright swindler; and q world
which still is rubbing the bruise
which he created when he landed is
entitled to a little human curiosity
about his personality and his
career.
William H. Stoneman, foreign cor
respondent for an American news
paper, believes that curiosity in 1.-THE
Life and Death Of Ivar Kreuger,"
which is as gaudy tale Of frenzied
finance as you are apt to find any
where.
Kreuger, he declares, came to
grief chiefly because he simply
carried to extremes certain methods
and tricks which are more or less
common practice everywhere in high
finance.
To be sure, he was a forger and a
falsif1er and a trickSter; but he
would have crashed even if he had
been honest, because he got himself
so over extended in a tangle of
holding companies and inflated
stock values that the world deflation
left him way out on limb.
He began as a building con-
tractor, and formed his first match
trust just before the war.
He was an extremely able indus
trialist; he came within a hairs
breadth of winning the world
monopoly he dreamed of, and much
of his wide reputation for business
acumen was entirely justified.
But he never knew where to stop,
and when he had pyramided too
high he had no recourse but that Of
the defaulting accountant.

Opportunity Knocks

WHo's that knocking at my
w door? Who's that knocking
at my door?" cried the old doctor.
It's opportunity. Rarely does it
fall to a poor, working news
paper man to get rich quick, but
this is it, and with the benevolent
and charitable attitude which has
characterized the old doctor in the
past, he gives his idea to the thou
sands (pardonable boasD Of pant
ing, expectant Hoosiers.
Here it is, fresh from the old
thinktank.
A week or so ago President Hoo
yer, in his Madison Square address,
said that if Roosevelt was elected,
"the grass would grow in the streets
of 100 cities"
Roosevelt is elected in the belief
that, in spite of his many errors in
demonstrating, Hoover may have
been right for once, the conductor
of this column is preparing to in
corporate the 100 Cities Grass
Moving Corporation of America"
Like a flash out of hectic night
comes this inspiration. Filing the
incorporation papers would give en-
ployment to some attorney.
The plan of this corporation is,
first Of all, to elect 100 cities where
it is probable that grass might be
growing In the cities. That would
give employn1ent to CITY seekers.
Then, of course, this really should
come first, sell stock. If insult
could get away with selling millions
of dollars of stock in utilities, why
won't the public buy shares in this
corporation, founded on a novel
idea.
And after the stock is sold, which
will give unemployed stock and bond
statesmen over the country a chance
to make some commissions, orders
will be placed for lawn mowers. This
in turn will put many Of the mower
factories to work and soon we will
see smoke pouring from chimneys
and SCOT on the clothes of inhabi-
tants of the cities where these fac
tories are located.
Men must be hired to push the
lawn mowers, others to follow and
pick up the grass, and still others to
cart 1t away. All of which means
additional employment.
y e.
There also must be experts at the
art of sharpening the blades of the
mowers. And, after all, what is
sweeter than the rasping sound of
the file drawn across the blades of
a mower? Doesn't it just set your
teeth on edge?

Swallowed hallway, a flower-laden

blue-green vista of shore and Sound.
