TOKENS OF APPRECIATION"

DROBABLY the public will not be so
\ shocked by the senate committee revela-
tons of the Kuhn, Loeb bargain stock list
as by the earlier Morgan bargain lists, because
Of the repetition. But the fact that these
bankers practice of making virtual gifts to
heads of insurance companies railroads and
industrial companies is a common racket
makes it all the more significant.
While the bankers involved have borne
most of the criticism growing out of these
revelations, the relationship between bankers
and benefciaries is reciprocal-to use the word
OF Mr.. Raskob in his letter Of thanks to the
House of Morgan.
What did Morgan and Kuhn, Loeb expect
TO get in return for these favors, which Mr.
Kahn on the witness stand Thursday described
as tokens of appreciation" Appreciation for.
what?
Take the case of railroad executives who
accept such doles from Kuhn, Loeb, in the
business of buying railroad securities. The
head of the road is paid big salary by the
stockholders to represent their interests When
he dickers with Kuhn, Loeb is he representa-
tive of his company, the seller, or does he
function as a friend and benefactor of the
buyer, Kuhn, Loeb?
Has he betrayed the interests of his own
company and stockholders? Or if he receives
presents from the banker merely because the
road is customer, then by what right does
he pocket the financial gift instead of turning
it into the company treasury?
If this railroad executive should discover
a mere purchasing agent of the road accepting
gifts from manufacturing company selling
to the road, wouldn't he fire that purchasing
agent?
Or take the case of the insurance COM
pany head who accepts tokens of apprecia-
ton from Kuhn, Loeb, from whom he buys
securities for his insurance company. Does
the insurance agent who sells policy to John
Jones explain that the safety of the insurance
depends on the company's investments and
that the head of the company is personally
indebted for financial favors to Morgan and
Kuhn, Loeb, with whom he invests John
Jones money?
The senate committee we'll might call to
the witness stand all business executives and
public men revealed as such close friends Of
the big bankers that they have been given
tokens of appreciation" amounting in the ag-
eregate to millions of dollars.
These business executives and public men
should be given chance to explain under
these secret gifts

DIVORCE

clared that they were obtained through the
mutual consent of the parties involved"
Mr.. Metzger rightfully thought that the
time had come to make law agree with the
customs of the American people
But he did not propose one-day Mexico
divorce. He suggested that six months elapse
between the filing and granting of an open
consent divorce based on mutual consent.

Because this condition brings
about Inflammation of the nerve
roots at the front Of the spine, the
occurrence of tenderness of the skin
of the muscles or joints should al
ways be considered suspicious.
When physician is called to ex-
anime child, he is likely to want
to make an examination of the spi-
nal fluid. This he does particularly
to distinguish between infantile pa
ralysis, meningitis due to various
types of infection, and infiamma-
tons of the brain.
AS soon as infantile paralysis is
well established, it becomes impor-
tant to have a careful examination
of the muscles to find out which
muscles are involved permanently

ment leading to recovery of the

You Can Die YOullq

AEANY of the Victorians lived and
Iva died quite unaware that day
would come when it would be prac-
tcally reproach even to have ex-
listed in that period They had no
notion of laundering down the ages
as synonyms for primness and pru-
derry.
I hope there never will be time
when 1 shall run shrieking out of
theaters crying, This Is terrible;
call the police!"
I hate to contemplate a year in
which the literature of the land will
seem to be too frank and free to be
so much as touched by any man
of decency.
Against the fate OF finding your
self a member of the fogeys, two
remedies are possible. You may If
you choose, die young. I've thought
Of that and rejected the plan for
something which seems to me much
better.
1t is possible for every one of us in
youth or middle age to build within
himself fine, rousing fire of radi-
calism. And if the blaze is built
of coal and other solid substance,
there may remain embers to warm
you during the last chimney cor
ner days.
None have ever known who did
not find themselves edging toward
the right in the years past so. Or
if they did not edge toward conform
ity they were pushed.
One bright exception should be
noted. Clarence Darrow is still
what the world calls "a dangerous
man" Certain respectables shud-
der as he passes by. Yet even Mr..
Darrow, now that his hair begins
to whiten, may be found at times
in not altogether unfriendly debate
with prohibition advocates and par
sons.

Those who have been exposed to
infantile paralysis should have tenn
peratures taken regularly for three
weeks to detect the onset of fever
and symptoms at the earliest pos
Sible moment
When there are epidemics in the
community, children should not be
allowed to ningle with crowds and
travel should be discouraged.
The occurrence of fever, headache
with vomiting, drowsiness, and irri-
liability when disturbed, flushing,
congestion of the throat and nightly
sweating during period when in
fantile paralysis is prevalent in a
community should be viewed with
suspicion.
Any evidence on the part Of the
child of stiffness of the back and
the neck demands the most careful
medical investigation.

Watching Decades Pass

DERHAPS it isn't quite fair to

cades made no difference whatSo-

in New Jersey Although she had
no personal share in telephone or
motor car or radio. they must have
colored life about her Perhaps she
sometimes saw picture show. The
story didn't say.
One development of civilization as
we know it must have touched her.
Nobody can live so far away from
the trends of the day or be suffi-
GENTLY aloof not to have encountered
canned clam chowder. Indeed, it
always has seemed to me that the
can opener plays an even wider
part in daily life than the auto
mobile.
1 don't think I would like to be
an old gentleman of 100 upon a re-
mote Jersey farm. I've cursed the
radio, the telephone, and the taxi
cab a score of times. But I will adj
NIT that after an individual has
become accustomed to the gadgets
OF progress, he always will find it
hard to get along without them.
l don't think I would like to be
an old gentleman of 100 years in
either the country or the city. But
If the issue ever comes up, 1 could
wish for a metropolitan decline. A
club window is a more pleasant
place in which to grow old than a
back porch
1t is not the aches and pains and
the various infirmities of advanc-'
ing years which terrify me. My
dread accumulates against the day
when those about me may say.
What can you expect from an old
reactionary like Haywood Broun?"
Indeed, I've heard it said already.

IL from June to November infan-
tile paralysis threatens children
throughout the world.
1t generally is believed that the
disease is spread by ordinary con-
tact with patients, or those asso-
ciated with the sick and to some
extent by contacts in an indirect
manner. In few instances is it pos
sible to trace the infection directly
from pre-existing> cases.
1t is universal practice to isolate
patients with this disease, to reduce
the number of carriers. Therefore,
every person suffering with the
disease should be kept absolutely
alone except for nursing attention
for three weeks from the time when
the fever first comes on.
1t is advisable also to keep alone,
as far as possible, children who
have been exposed to the disease.
