shiny bald head was like q cupola,

Through his pudgy, little black
eyes he looked at US malevolently.
"Felise, who are these men 2"

She hesitated, but before she
could speak, Thatcher Colt had
interceded.

4 Sound Observation

Samuel Seabury should be a good
authority upon the efficacy of pub
lie opinion. He faced the Tanlmany
tiger in its lair for months and prob
ably caused that political organiza-
ton more grief than any other inves-
tigator in history. Few men have
aroused the people of New York city
to the extent that Judge Seabury
has.
This observation then comes from
q wealth OF experience:
Political power is compounded OF
many elements: among them politi-
cal organization is potent, but it is
not the strongest factor. Another
element which enters into political
power, and is much stronger than
any political organization, is public
opinion.
what I am interested in is not
the number of voters who carry the
brand Of Tammany Hall upon them
but the men and women OF New York
who have a belief and a conviction
and are willing to fight for it. Thu
followers OF Tammany Hall are serv.

Stuart Mill we'll expressed it:

ELECTRO-SURGERY FOR PROS

Hitherto little has been said IN this

which SO frequently brings misery to

purposely avoided the subject for two
reasons. First, quacks harp on it ad

rather unsatisfactory.

Presidential Strain
fNoxsy VOrk Tivoocl

English newspapers, in commenting
upon the death Of Mr.. Coolidge. re-
marked that Americans kill off their
presidents by overwork. There is no
proof that this was the case with Mr.
Coolidge. He left office in fine
health, and apparently had a right
to expect long life. But there IS
no doubt that the work of the presi-
dency has been so enlarged and in
tensified as to threaten to wear out
any incumbent not of the most ro-
bust physique. 1t is an old story,
dating as far back at least as the
time Of John Quincy Adams. who
bitterly complained in his diary that
office-seekers and intruding con-
gressmen used up all his day and
left him no time to think or plan.
President Wilson sought to safeguard
his none too ample physical strength
by announcing early in his admins
tration that he would see no appli-
cants for office except by appoint.

consistently to adhere to that reso-

New York, Jan. 12.-1t may or may
not have been chronicled that upon
a certain recent evening John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., looked at his watch
he wears it in his vest pocket and
not on his wrist-and found that 1t
was a few minutes after eight. And
being gentleman accustomed to me-
ticulous promptness, he reached for
couple of ticket stubs and entered
the cavern0us spaces Of the new Mu-
sic Hall theater, more awesome even
than the name OF Rockefeller.
And then had to wait until about
Q o'clock until taxis seemed to crawl
over each other like ants hurrying
to their hills: until scalpers had sold
their last pair Of good seats at $50
per each In these depression times:
until every lovely lady of the theater
had realized the insignificance OF her
minks in the presence of competitive
mirrors, magic and maze; until the

NEW YORK, April 26 G.N.S.).
Announcement Of an increase in
the British Exchange equalization
fund and Of an imminent agree
ment between France and Eng
land over the use of the latter's
Franc credits in Paris, brought a
sharp rise in the dollar on world
markets today.
In the local trading the dollar
pushed ahead against the pound
sterling and all the European gold
currencies.
Sterling opened at 1878, off 8
cents from yesterdays close, and
then rallied to $3.792s.
Francs opened here at 4.34, off
AZ and rallied to 4.3412; Belgas
lost 13 points at 1887; Swiss
francs, % points at 21.25, and
guilders, 43 points at 44.3O.
German marks were hit hard,
losing 80 points at 1925, while
lire and pesetas lost 71a and II
points, respectively.
Scandinavian exchange were
easier in sympathy with the
pound, while the Canadian dollar
was unchanged at 867s cents.

Losses of IS ce is a bale were

today after rallying sharply from

vious closing prices. With Liver
pool cables 7 to 10 American
points below due prices, figured
on the sterling rate, the market,
here, opened off IL to IA points
and then recovered most Of the
losses in later dealings.
Heavy profit-taking by Wall
Street and commission houses to-
gether with wholesale offerings
from the South and spot firms
met with a fair demand from
the trade, Liverpool and the Far
East. Brokers who handle Red
Cross business were moderate
sellers. Later professionals and
Wall Street shifted to the buy
ing side and Improvement in
futures followed.
The trade pointed to the
strength of the dollar against
foreign currencies as accounting
for the trend of the market and
also to an overnight shift in Senti-
ment resulting from increased
opposition to lowering the per-
centage by which the President
might initiate the dollar.
