HOME--WHERE is 1T?

Homes always here, or homes al
ways near, homes just spot in the
town
Homes rather plain, just roof
from the rain, nook when the night
has come down.
Homes out of style, and we joke
and we smile; many lip that has
curled;
But wander away, and you'll want
it some day more than the rest of
the world.
Homes just place, just voice,
Just face, father and mother and
kin;
Homes where we dream, and we
plan and we scheme; homes where
our journeys begin.
Home, like as not, is fiat in cot;
home isn't much but a wall;
But when you tire, when you long
for your fire, home is lot, after all
Homes always home, though the
world you may roam, seeking some
fortune afar;
Home is the pole of the heart and
the soul, home the unquenchable star.
Travel for miles to the farthest of
isles, sail to the east OF the west.
The further you go the more you
will know that home, after all, is the
Elevator Constructor.

BY ROBERT ROBERT r. MALONE

What is the jobless man, skilled in a
trade, and accustomed in other years
to good job and good wage, think
ing about today as he walks with
empty pockets. often without home
and no prospect of work? Is he rev.
olutionary? Is his enforced idleness
changing him from an outstanding
man into confirmed tramp and So
cial liability?
These questions are occupying the
minds of thinking people, but the
great majority who have not yet
been reduced to penury are too intent
upon their own pdoblems to give
thought the jobless and penniless
man on the street. A contribution
possibly to a charitable organization
they feel, has fulfilled their obligation
to the unfortunate and jobless mar
for the next twelve months.

Idle Try to Be Hopeful
This is only one of dozen similar
accounts within the last two months.
Honest men out of work are trying to
be hopeful They are trying to con-
serve their self-respect and not be-
come social liabilities. They are not
all alike-some are already distinctly
social liabilities. They are going con-
tinuously hungry, because IN
other prosperous days they were able
to afford an abundance of good food

well, his head seems to go numb,
and he ceases to think much. Each
day is struggle to get food for that
day and place to sleep at night. He
doesn't think of tomorrow. He seems
to get down to the level of the ami
mails who give thought only to food
for today and a night out of the cold.
Loses Grip and Drifts
Does he become revolutionary :?
No, he doesn't think that much. 1t
does him no good to become resent
full, to become sullen. He just seems
to lose his grip and to be drifting

The experience of every one of these
men is challenge to business and
industrial leadership to lay aside self
ishness, to put away bubbles and to
end pickering, and join in getting the

HUNT SUBSTITUTE
FOR GOLD CLAUSE
Financial Leaders Attempt to
Devise Protection for
Contracts.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business. Writ.


Some Of the best financial minds are
substitute for the gold clause which has
been virtually abrogated In written con-
tracts.
It is now definitely established that
bondholders cannot make any contract
which will enable them to receive any
thing but legal tender money. Any
contract to pay interest and principal
in gold would carry no weight in the
United States and probably would not
be acceptable to any borrower in foreign
lands. It Is considered unlikely that
the courts of the world would approve
contracts to pay interest in commodi-
ties.
Unless some means can be devised to
insure that contracts mean what they
say, and that safeguards are not illu-
sorry, 1t is believed that lenders will try
to compensate themselves for their in
creased risks by demanding higher in
terest rates from would-be borrowers.
One suggestion in this direction al
ready has been made. The idea has
been advanced that long-term contracts,
for so years or more, should have an in
dex number clause. This, it IS con-
tended, would make them fair to bor-
rowers and lenders alike. At present,
II prices rise, the borrower pays back
less, in real values, than he borrowed.
II prices fall, the lender receives more
than he loaned. II the movement either
way IS big, the system generally breaks
down.
Sponsors of the index number clause
declare it would automatically insure
that both the burden and the return.
in terms Of real values, were identical
the whole period Of the loan.

CLEANUP IN GOLD"
STOCKS PREVENTED
Promoters PoWerIesS to Reap
Rich Profits Because
of New Law.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September Stock
promoters about the country who have
a leaning toward high-pressure selling
methods are said to be inconsolable
over their inability to crash through
barriers which deny them a rich clean
up in the distribution of gold" secu-
rites.
A great potential field exists, accord
ing to students Of investment psy-
chology, for the distribution of shares
of real or fictitious gold mines and pros
poets of all shades of merit. But the
promoter can't harvest the abundant
fruit which seems ready to fall into his
lap because the new securities act raises
its head menacingly just as soon as
he gets ready to prepare a prospectus
on his property.
It's an Unusual situation, in the
opinion OF Wall Street veterans who
have seen the public show avid buying
interest IN all sorts of third and fourth
rate stocks when the best of the group
were enjoying active speculative atten-
tion on the legitimate stock exchanges.
1t Is not unlikely according to
observers, that furtive backdoor solicit
tation Is being attempted by purveyors
Of gold mining stocks of Questionable
value and prospects, in the hope that
the recent advance in shares of estab-
lished producers, modification of the
gold export embargo and the gold-con-
scious state Of the whole world might
help them put over q few sales.
