ONCE OVERS
Good-by to BIuffing

Isn't it a. relief to abandon
that system of bluffing in
which you have INDUCED for so
many years?
It is no longer necessary to
make people believe your in
come is larger than it really is.
1t wasn't necessary before,
but you got pleasure out OF
pretending more than you had
and were.
1t worried you more or less
to keep up your bluffs.
But now, what is the use in
bl&fing.
, You thought once that it
brought you social prestige to
seem to have a large income.
It took constant Scheming
and unnecessary outlay to look
prosperous.
Since there has been a gen.
eral reduction in expenditures
for social position and self
qualification in enjoying amuse-
ments out of your class. you
have come to see how ridicu.
lous yor were to those who
knew better.
Some of those who made
the most lavish display are
the hardest hit just now.
With boast and bluff dropped
out Of life there is more real
comfort in being just what you
are, isn't theIe2

Hoarding Will
Be Stopped

Meanwhile, the Govern
ment, which is now taking
charge of things pertaining
to government that have
been handled too freely by
selfish private interests, is
taking steps to end the gold
raid. On Government or
ders the member banks of
the Federal Reserve Bank
are turning over to the Fed
eral Reserve all holdings of
gold and gold certificates.
The day following the issu-
ance of the order several
million dollars were thus
delivered. One bank alone
turned in $1,OOO,OOO.
The raid on gold and
boarding brought the bank
crisis upon us. The raid on
gold has been stopped and
boarding will be stopped.
The Federal Reserve Board
has ordered the banks to re-
port to it the names of per-
sons who have withdrawn
gold from the member
banks in the last two years
and who have not returned
it by March 13. Something
can be said for the small
hoarders, frightened by re-
ports that the big men have
been boarding gold in vast
amounts. This is the money
Of the people on which busi-
ness and industry depend,
and without which there
comes a collapse ruinous to
the nation and organized So
ciety, and it is the right
and the duty of the Gov
ernment to prevent its
wholesale withdrawal. When
boarding reaches the stage
where society is threatened,
it is as much the duty of
the Government to stop it
as it is for it to stop cOun-
terfeiting.
There may be some gen.
tlemen who will be much

The Doctor Knows

Usually men Of strong ply
sique, and others not so strong,
physically, refuse to obey the
directions of their physicians
for taking reasonable care of
their health when afflicted
with ordinary ailments.
The result is that things
go from bad to worse, and per-
haps to fatality.
To men of this sort, a cold,
no matter how serious, "iS
nothing to worry about"
I'm not going to baby my
SELF" you hear men say, not
infrequently.
Pneumonia may result and
sometimes it strikes quickly.
Physicians are emphasizing
more than ever how necessary
it is to take proper care of the
common cold.
The doctor knows the dan
ger better than you know it.
Sometimes there is great sur
prise among his friends when a
big. strong. healthy man is
stricken suddenly, almost with
out warning.
But usually if the truth were
told, that person had had warn
ings that he did not heed. that
if attended to Immediately
might not have been fatal.

TN a personal letter from
l. Meredith Nicholson, the
novelist, in Indianapolis, l
find this paragraph which
reflects the feeling every
where:
"0ur new President has
cheered and heartenedj the
whole country by his
prompt and vigorous han
ding of the financial situa-
ton. The change in feeling
hereabouts yesterday was
remarkable"
And all because the cOun-
try is now getting what it
has been wanting-"acti
and action now" The thing
that was wrecking conf
dence and creating panic
was the feeling that we were
drifting with no one to as
sumo command and give or
derS.
The response of the peo-
pie, regardless of party, has
been magnificent. Ameri-
cans naturally have not been

this disgusted lady, are aablight
and a blot on our modern
world, and they not only cheat
their families and the rest of
the human race by ducking
maturity, but they most tragi-
cally trick themselves.
Is there a more pitiful crea-
ture on earth than the withered
woman who has always man
aged to be a Giggly Girl but
who, at forty-five, suddenly is
forced to face Age? We don't
need Mrs. Banning to answer
that question for us. We can
answer it ourselves. For we've
met the lady-and there
isn't.
In all the range of human
emotions there is no rebellion
as bitter as hers, no loneliness
as devastating, no fear as des-
perate. Romance has gone.
Play times are over. What has
she to take their place? Moth
ing.
She had never dared to grow
up. She has viewed with de-
rision those who did. And now
the years have caught up with
her. No soldier, going over
the top, ever knew more abject
terror than is hers as she
faces wrinkling skin, graying
hair and crumbling jaw line,
which m a s. sage, astringentS,

to believe we were Gibson Girls
once more? What? yes? But
even so, l wonder if most Of
us do go Size Sixteen.
Is it true that we're afraid
to grow up? Are we incapable
of enjoying the gentle, lovely
adventures that wait after 40;
the quiet hours by the fire
side with a book or friend;
the walks along leaf-dappled
country lanes?
Are We secretly furious and
humiliated when life turns us
into grandmas? Is there no
joy in minstering to other
lives?
In Europe-in England and
France-an intelligent woman
is just starting the most fas-
cinating phase of her career
when she reaches middle age;
is Just beginning to find her
place and her stride in the
world of power. Men admire
her, seek her advice, even court
her in preference to "giddy
young things" Is that attitude
unknown to most middle-aged
American women?
I wonder. One can't really
know. It's hard to tell what
any female feels, behind her
masking eyes.
What's YOUR idea? Have
American women really gone
ga-ga? Or are We as willing
to grow up as our grandmaS
were. and as ready to take all
risks?
What's YOUR opinion?

Leadership Is
A Great Thing

Leadership is a great
thing.
For two years we have
been hammering away in
these columns on the idea
that finance and industry
could clean it's own house
and rid themselves of sim
lister practices if it would.
Until this week the idea has
been cynically received.
Then last week we began
to reap a bitter harvest re-
sulting from vicious bank
ing practices.
Then the head of the ma
ton assumed leadership,
and served notice that even
the most powerful Of fl
nancial institutions are not
overlords of government,
and that government intends
to do some house cleaning.
And now the leading fig
ures in the financial world
are coming forward with a
proposal to do what should
have been done without gov
ernmental prodding long
ago. They are eager now to
separate commercial from
speculative banking.
The Washington times., 1933-03-13
WISE WORDS

1t is a great folly to wish to
be exclusively wise.
He who lives without folly is
not so wise as he thinks.
AS we grow old we become
more foolish and more wise.
Some people resemble ballads
which are only sung for a GER
tain time.
Hypocrisy is the homage
which vice renders to virtue.
A truly virtuouS man is he
who prides himself upon moth
ing.
He knows the water best
who has waded through it.
To think we are sble is to be
so.

We Are Making
Rapid Progress

The Aldrich statement has
for it's central thought this:
THE spirit of speculation
should be eradicated from
the management of CONNER
cial banks, and commercial
banks should not be per-
mitted to underwrite securi-
ties except securities of the
United States Government
and of States, territories,
municipalities and certain
other public bodies in the
United States.
Had that been the rule 10
years ago we would not be
where we are today.

Statement of
w. w. Aldrich

One of the most important
effects Of President Roose-
velt's assumption of militant
leadership is the statement of
Winthrop W. Aldrich, the
chairman of the governing
board of the Chase National
Bank.
1t is interesting to know
that he is the son Of the late
Senator Nelson Aldrich, the
powerful Senate figure who
for many years was the
spokesman of Big Business in
the Senate, which he domi-
mated.

President Defines
Individualism

The President believes in
individualism so long as it
does not impose upon, and
wreck, the millions who con-
stitute a nation. There has
been all too much loose use
of the term individualism.
jefferson believed in it, but
he would have defined his
position thus:
"The greatest degree of
individual freedom COM
patible with the welfare of
organized society"
The new President defines
his conception thus:
II believe that the indi-
vidual should have full lib
erty of action to make the
most of himself; but I do
not believe that in the
name of the sacred word,
individualism, a few power
full interests should be per-
mitted to make industrial
cannon-fodder of the lives
of half the population of
the United States.
We have been acting too
long upon the theory that
"individualism" means that
highbinders and porch
climbers should have the
right, by virtue of their
power, to deprive the mil,
lions of their rights.
That, we assume, is to be
changed.
