THE spiritual zest it gives a
woman to find herself the pos
SCISSOR Of a new child with all the
possibilities for happiness that it
brings, is veritable going back to
vernal days. The opportunity to
refresh oneself at the wellspring of
life-how estimate what that is
worth to the Individual?
The first years in the existence of
each baby is a r-to-be-f forgot
ten experience for the woman who
is rearing one. To watch the
Towering of the bud, to trace the
development of the mind, to witness
and in measure be responsible for
new and utterly different human
being-this is the very mamma from
heaven that feeds and reneWs us.

MORGAN AND THE PUBLIC

THE investigation into the affairs of j. P.
Morgan & Co. is important, not so much
because of sensational disclosures which may
be made as because it provides the public with
a free look into what is in the last analysis,
the public's business.
Recognition Of that simple fact is one of
the most wholesome developments that have
come out Of the new deal at Washington.
The boundary lines between private bust.

What Poetry?
BY MARY B. MOYNAHAN

BY MARY b. MOYNAHAN
1t is a group Of well-selected words
Keen arrows-song tipped-most
carefully wrought,
And FURNISHED bright by golden
dreams and thought;
With cadence sweet as that from
throat of birds;
A message hurried afar-Which even
girds
The world IT'S inspiration swift
ly sought,
Bestowed by haunting muse so
often sought;
A blend Of words akin to music's
chords. =.
A woven web that forms a perfect
whole,
With warp Of meter and, perchance,
of rhyme;
Artistic work for which there's
little gain
1t is the Overlooking of the soul
Which sings its way on down the
age Of time,
To ease the heart Of Ger much Joy
or pain!

M. E.TracySays:

II VEN if the love of money were confined to
l. need or to a reasonable desire for comfort
and luxury, it still would be bad enough. There
always will be sufficient amount of poverty to
make men steal and sufficient amount OF
jealousy to make them overspend.
With the appetite blown into a passion by
the sophistries of materialistic age, we have
little left of moral code which aspired to place
human qualities above the bank roll.
The real tragedy of this depression lies in
its revelation of what men will do for money
men in the foremost rank, who were supposed
to be equipped with superior intelligence and
who were regarded commonly as modeIS Tor
guidance of youth.
The mildest Interpretation of their mistakes
convictS them Of folly and incompetence While
it is impossible to escape the conclusion that
they were governed by the most primitive brand
of avarice in many cases.
TTERE is Edward A. Ridley, scrimping and
L l. saving throughout lightweight years, for
no apparent reason, except to pile up sums OF
money that he couldn't and wouldn't spend.
Here are two accountants who helped I'M
scrupulous secretary to fleece him OF 100000
during the last two years.
Worst of ALL here is the murderer or MUIR
dererS, unknown and unidentified, but here just
the same who brought him and his secretary
to violent end. And back of it all skulkS the
ambition, but as sprung from inordlnate greed.
Here are bankers, dragged to the bar Of
justice for lodging the income tax, forging
papers and embezzling funds,
Here are thousands, If not millions Of in
veStors, holding worthless or badly slumped Sc
curities, sold to them by fnanciers who were
more anxious to make a small commission than
to safeguard the interest of those depending on
them for good counsel
There is a deal Of difference between want
ing money for the necessities of life and want
ing it for its own sake. There is deal OF diff
ference between thinking of a business or pro-
fession for the profit that can be gained and
thinking of it in the light of services rendered.
L ment have little in common. Instead of
of hoarders, or were until the crash woke us up
We are not going to recover by providing a
new technique for the old game.
We need more of a revolution in moral at
titudeS than in economic methods.
1t is not within the range of human ability
to devise a mechanical system that can with
stand such unconscionable greed as we have
contracted with regard to money
We not only strive to get it, keep it, and pile
it up beyond all reason. but tell ourselves that
the ambition to do so is socially and morally
sound. We think of money not as medium of
exchange and achievement but as a commod-
ity which can be separated from other forms of
capital and dealt with in an isolated manner
as an an-powerful force in human affairs
Much of that must be wiped out Of our
philosophy before anything Like permanent re-
ccvery can be achieved

A Woman's Viewpoint f.:

one foolish feminine fear that
" should be put to rout is the
idea that having a baby spoils a
woman's beauty. I imagine this is
the real reason why SO many young
pretty wives postpone the event.
They may excuse their course by
saying that they fear the pain and
inconvenience, the trouble and ex-
pense Of motherhood, but beyond
these personal vindications turks
the thought that every baby de-
tracts from the loneliness of its
mother.
This theory has no foundation in
fact. 1t originated during the days
when women had families too fast
for their strength and when their
work was heavy and therefore they
lost their health and became old by
reason Of many worries.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-05-30
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON :

1t would be folly to argue that
such things do not play havoc with
ones looks, because when health
goes, we say boodbye also to beauty.
But for the normal woman these
days, whose major fears regarding
too many children have been taken
away and whose domestic work is
lightened, there is no tonic that
adds such a sparkle to the eyes. such
a bloom to the skin and such a glow
to the whole physical being, as
brand new baby.
Middle-aged mothers look like
young girls again.
What's more, once the ordeal is
over, you actually feel younger. For
the catharsis to the system that &C
compaies child birth really reju-
yenateS.

BQck to Tin Pan AHeu

MO, I think that Mr.. Woodin
~ ought to go back to his job
of composing ballads. Let him write
the nations songs and have no care
or authority about the adjustment
of its finances. From an avocation-
al point Of view, William Woodin is
sitting pretty. If ever I heard a
song cue dropping into a mans lap
Mr.. WOodin is the gentleman whom
fate has favored.
we Just want you to know
we were thinking Of YOU"
Why, the ditty almost writes
itself. 1t could be called I've Got
Those Big Bonanza Blues" Or if
the waltz king Of the American Car
and Foundry Co. wants something
in nice hot fox trot, how about
My Little Morganatic Miss?"
The geographical song has not vet
passed out completely, and the
theme is susceptible to that type of
treatment also. What's wrong with
"AlI My Gains in Allegheny Were
Made While Thinking, Dear. of
YOu-hoO"?
I'll admit that I have been a little
stumped on this last version, be-
cause of my inability to find any
very good ryhme for the Van Swer-
ingens. Still Mr.. Woodin ought to
be able to take up where I nave
left off. He should hardly expect
me to write all of this song for him.
The best I'm willing to do is to
start him off like this:
Markets soaring, skies are blue:
We want you to know we're think
ing of you.
Come in at the bottom and climb to
the top;
Allegheny is good to the very last
drop"

It Seems

by HAYWOOD BRoUN

NEW YORK, May 80 heard a
~ strong. clear voice. and so did
many millions, and it said, We
must drive the money changers out
of the temple"
A good way to begin would be to
drive them out of the cabinet and
out of the councils of the Demo
cratic party.
Franklin D. Roosevelt has acted
quickly in the past, and he must act
quickly now. William II. Woodin
should not be the secretary of the
treasury. He never should have
been appointed in the first place,
and continuance in Office would con-
stitute a condition sufficient to
wreck the Roosevelt administration.
1t was not dishonest for him to
accept a block of cut-rate stock
from the House Of Morgan. but it is
prepoSterous to retain him even as
a minor disciple of the new deal. He
sat too long and too intimately in
the old game

product. Eggs which are produced at very low
cost in foreign countries and canned, dried OF
otherwise preserved are dumped on the market
and they are used in vast quantities by big baking
and other concerns in the United States.
Eggs are cited here merely as one example of
the FAR reaching though invisible, powers of gold.
There is a world war going on right now. The issue
is not democracy, armament, universal peace OF
anything dealt is gold
There is not enough gold in the world to serve
the purposes of trade. Hence gold is grabbed, COLO

ple Gold is the only product now which is worth
more than it costs You can buy diamonds by the
truckload for a song-because nobody wants them
Everybody is afraid to wear them and they are no
prettier than 1O-cent store glass beads anyway
But gold is scarcer than ever. That is why every
day we hear of new finds of gold, in various parts
of the world Everybody is out hunting for gold.
There is even proposition that Uncle Sam should
'grub-stake" the gold-diggers of the West. This
would be fair enough, as he is already doing a lot
more than that for the god-diggers of Wall Street
The gold production of the United States rose to
nearly $50, 100000 last year. But what is $780,
600 900 in these times? 1t would give only 40 cents
apiece to our population even if it was divided
evenly-whch it never will be. California is still
our best gold-producing state but South Dakota is
a close second.

CONFIDENCE BY CONFUSION
(By BRUCE CATTON)

A couple of public-Spirited New York
state legislators, who seem to have been
going to the movies pretty regularly OF
late. have introduced in the legislature a
bill designed to buttress the confidence Of
the public in its elected representatives.
The bill would ban any motion picture
which tended ito create false and untrue
impression Of the conduct of public office
by any public official, or would without
warrant or cause tend to undermine public
confidence in public officials"
The legislators complain that several re-
cent movies have displayed public officials
as crooks, nincompoops, grafters and fat
heads, and they want matters set right.
And the obvious thing to do, they feel, is
to put all such movies under the interdict.
Now this piece of Stiffness wouldn't be
worth noticing, except that it does reopen
the whole question of the public's relations
with the people it puts in office; and at
this particular moment that question IS
worth bit of study.
Probably there isn't much question but
that the public today has a lower opinion
of it's elected officials than it has had in
generations And that isn't because of the
influence. of scurrilous movies, muck-rak-
ing writers or the insidious Vaccinations
of Moscow, either.
1t is simply because state ard federal
legislators have made a holy show OF
themselves so often that nobody can over
look It., ..
For sample, there is the way the SEN
ate dropped everything recently to waste
lot of valuable time castigating a chap
who remarked in print that only few men
in congress actually do take brides. There
is the way in which this lame duck session
at Washington has dilly-dallied with i'm
portant issues. There is the way state and
federal assemblies have proven their al
most complete inability to do anything
about economy.
These are the real reasons for the cur
rent low estimate of elected officials.

Many smart people have faith in God because
God is invisible-yet the same people win place
full faith in gold, which is equally invisible.
Nobody ever sees gold any more-and still it
dominates the 1900 million population of the
earth. Absurd-but true!
The other day man handed merchant So
goldpieee which he had been boarding for many
years. He was arrested, charged with trying to
pass off shiny penny for So.
The American poultryman wonders why eggs
have taken drop in price. He doesn't know about
the invisible power of gold He doesn't realize
that the price of eggs throughout the United
States is regulated by an inner circle in London.
This again is absurd-but true!
John Bull demands for his breakfast two soft
boiled eggs When business is good throughout the
world and John Bull, the worlds great butter and
egg man, is enjoying his customary rake-offs, he
eats two eggs for breakfast. When trade slumps,

now doingAN
And John sets the style in eggs, just as he sets
the style for the language used by many of our
