CHEAPNESS OVER STRESSED

For the past three or four years the principal
appeal of many manufacturers and merchants il
selling their products has been that of low prices
They have stressed this fact Of cheapness more
than that of quality. And the more prices have
declined the more insistent the public becomes foc
further reductions The thing seems to have been
done. The lower prices go the less inclined
people are to buy. Most people prefer to buy when
things are advancing. Another trouble about de-
Ginning prices is that it tends to lower wages. In
most cases wages are now entirely too low.
thing badly needed now is an advance in the price
of commodities and an advance in the wage scale
1t is time to stop advertising low prices; quality
should be stressed.-Beaufort News.

A MILLION SCHOOL TEACHERS

The growth in secondary and higher education
was exceptionally rapid in the years after 1920 1t
is summed up in the increase of the teaching force
There were about 500, 900 teachers in the country
in 1920. In the next ten years the increase was
100000. But of these only 100000 new teachers
were in the elementary schools, where attendance
was already universal The high schools absorbed
nearly 900 new teachers, more than doubling
the 1920 figures. The colleges and professional
schools took $4,000 teachers, an increase OF
20 per cent. In 1880 person out of every seven
of college age was in college, and one person out
of every two of high school age in high school!
The knowledge of this great educational con-
quest of the last decade cannot but 0e force for
the maintenance of social order in bitter times.
These years after 1920 were, by the test of sober
economics, wild era but it was not in every phase
an orgy. 1t is only fair to recall that the schools
did even better than the bootleggers.-The New
York Times.

THE WAY OF THE LAW

A Cleveland man was convicted of arson not
long ago, jury having been convinced that he
caused factory building to be set ablaze few
days ago an appellate court reversed his conviction
and ordered new trial. 1t based the reversal on
several points, among them the fact that the de-
PENDANT was charged and sentenced enormously,
under the Ohio law.
The charge, as the court points out, was arson !;
and the law defines arson the unlawful burning
of dwelling. The building involved in this case
was not dwelling but factory. Hence the
charge of arson was improper, and the man gets
a new trial.
This little item is offered, without comment foc
the benefit of uninstructed laymen who sometimes
wonder what that expression, ''the laws technica-
ties really means.-G astonia Gazette.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
BANKS AND THE LAW

Mr., McAdoO is in favor of revising the general
banking system to bring it into position to meet
the situations that have developed. That might
help but perhaps rigid enforcement of the laws
they now exist might do better Take for in
stance, the developments in the case of the Ma
tioral City Bank, of New York, institution that
haG been regarded as model banking house, and
against which federal action is now looming, III
consequence of recent testimony. This action should
do more than "loom." 1t should light. 1t should
do more than threaten; it should act.
The revelations now being made of the transac-
tions in this bank through its President Mitchell
are shocking and nauseating.
If what officials of this institution have been
doing is not an open violation of the laws, then

THE CAMERAMAN-HISTORIAN
(By BRUCE CATION

One of the hardest things for a reader
of history to do is to realize that the figures
which appear on the pages before him were
once real flesh-and-blood people like him
self
Time and fame have a way of freezing
men into heroic attitudes. The past looks
like a series of tableaus, a group Of heroic
paintings in which everything is arranged
siust so. 1t contains no blood, no human
emotions.
Washington remains eternally rigid, pos
ing in the bow of boat as it crosses the
Delaware amid the ice; the Declaration of
Independence gets signed by a collection Of
well4dressed gentlemen who kindly faced
the artist and arranged their ruffles-and
passed into eternity that way. 1t is hard 20
believe that these folk lived and moved
about and got hungry and felt tired as Or
binary people do.
So history becomes unreal; and a specu-
lative man is apt to wonder, now and then.
if perhaps the moving picture camera
won't introduce a welcome change.
A century from now people who study
the dOings of this generation won't have
to depend on paintings. Our great men
won't be figures from a portrait gallery;
they will be human beings in front of g
news camera, some of them slightly snit-
ten By stage fright, none of them frozen
into colorful immobility. Our city crowds,
our farmers, our armies-they, too, will
move and laugh and be real.
And that will DE tremendous advar-
tage. What wouldn't we give, today, for
instance, for a good newspicture of the
Boston tea party, an action shot showing
wagon train heading west to the Ohio
Purchase, an informal picture of the Con-
stitutional Convention, an exposure or two
of the Lincoln-Douglas debates or the
building of the Union Pacific railroad?
five had such things we wouldn't be
so apt to credit our ancestors with impos-
siblesvirtues. We should realize that he
roes5 like Washington and Jackson and
Webster were mortal men like Coolidge
and Hoover and Roosevelt, that the ragged
continentals were probably quite as irrev,
erent and profane as the A. E. F., and thai
in short, the Americans of the golden age
were blood brothers to ourselves.

The vets have great confidence that
they can get the states to ratify

Meanwhile, the drys appear to be
more than over. demoralized and
seem to have much less confidence
than they had at the first of the
year. The repeal resolution writes
the provisions Of the Webb!Kenyon

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
Rx Ike Walton, Nedivivus

see by the papers that bill
has been introduced IN the legIS-
lature Of North Carolina to al
low creditors and debtors of
closed banks to swap their &C
counts. I suppose it would work
this way. If the bank owes Sal
lie a hundred dollars and she
can't get it because | owe the
bank a hundred dollars and can't
nav it. then she could say to me
-'Tsaac, l hate to have people
saying that YOU helped to break
the bank because you could not
pay your note before the bank
closed, so I'll tell you what I'll
do; III give you an order Tor Il
hundred dollars; you take it to
the bank and tell them to charge
it to my account and credit 1t to
yours. Then you see the bank
won't owe me, and you won /
owe the bank, and you can take
out your note, and we won't
need any money at all TO clear
I'D the matter, and you can tell
everybody you have paid your
note, and ! can tell everybody |
am so glad the bank settled with
me. and you and can have a
celebration and the hank will De
happy to get rid of those two
accounts"
I asked Sam About it. Sam
understands all that high-falutin'
financial iumboree about pre-
ferred claims, and compound in
terest, and special dividends, and
expenses of liquidation, and
audits. and all the rest of the
lingo they use TO fog up the de-
positors and the common people,
and l thought he might give me
some light on why they didn't do
that swapping without the leg;s-
lature having to pass bill about
it. Why, good heavens, all the
banks in America could close be-
tween legislatures, if they can't
do anything without q bill every
time one goes broke. a.
So l went to Sans house and
found him reading about how The

wanted to know.
"Well, Ike, it would be al
right for Sallie and you to swaT
your accounts. if it wasn't fol
the fact that 1 have a preferred
claim against the bank. and you
have to pay some of the money
you owe the bank so they car
pay rue before they can credit
Sallie."
"What the Samhill do yor
mean. Sam? Amt Salie's claim
on the bank just as good a;
yours"
"Well, no, Ike. You see l have
a preferred claim"
GLOW Gomez"
"Why my deposits were Sc
cured"
"Why wasn't Sallie's?"
because she did not get it SC
cured"
GLOW did you fix yours thai
way?"
ooh, that is matter of fl.
nance, Ike, it takes a lot Of pc,

"Now look here, Sam. an

day of high-pressure athletics, and still

scholastic requirements, deserves all the
honor the initial signifies.
When a fellow can get two, or
three, of them in one set of four
years, he has not had much time
to entertain the college widow. He
has had to do his promming and

HIGH F|VES' SERIES
OPENS TOMORROW
Central, Eastern in Main Go
of BiII-RooseveIt and
Western Clash.

TINE stage is set for the big an
nual drama, the public high
school basket ball championship
series, which opens tomorrow
afternoon in the spacious Tech gym
nasium.
Roosevelt and Western will start the
competition at $3.50 o'clock. Central
and Eastern take the floor in the sec
ond and feature game.
Roosevelt is figured likely to win over
Western. Neither has shown a whole
lot, but the Bears have more seasoned
material than the Georgetowners. Both
are shy on such talent, however.
THE Coggins-coached Central squad.
l. which is the choice of most OBJ
servers to win the series. is picked
to vanquish Eastern, which won the
championship season ago. The Co
lumbia Heights boys not only have re-
tanned virtually their entire team of a
campaign ago, but now have Shore and
Upton, stars last Winter of the then
Business team, and Gregario, who also
was a valuable member of the same
outfit.
There's nothing weak about the East
ern squad, though, perhaps, it is not SO
formidable at center as in recent years.
In Nolan, Waters, Edelin,, Fitzgerald
and BayliSS it has players OF proved
worth, and Davis, who has been holding
forth at center, is improving.
Tech, which is figured to give Gen.
tral and Eastern lively battling for the
flag, will make its series debut next
Tuesday, engaging Western. Tech, in
cldentally, Will get action tomorrow
night, encountering the Gonzaga team
on the latter's court at 8 o'clock.
T ANDON and Friends basketers will
~ clash at Friends in another game
tomorrow while Hyattsville High
and Westinghouse High will face on
the armory floor in the Maryland town.
Central's crack swimming team will
compete tomorrow afternoon with the
Baltimore Poly natators in the Central
pool at $3.50 O'Clock.
EOUR of the five public high quints
i which will battle in the interhigh
series saw action yesterday and in
each instance emerged victorious. Gen.
tral idled.
Eastern, putting in final ncks pre-
paratory to its attempt to stop CentraPs
high-scoring five tomorrow, won hard
fought battle from Emerson, 38 to 80.
The play of Bayliss and Waters for
Eastern and Wilson for Emerson was
outstanding.
Summary:
