SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.

Too Many Professions.
The human race upon parade
We see in every land.
All kinds Of banners are displayed.
With music by the band.
Yet our ears are often smarting,
Struck by some discordant tone.
With everybody starting
A procession of his own.
The human race is on parade,
Extending blame or thanks;
But many reckless dash is made
BY someone from the ranks.
We find old friendships parting,
You are left to march alone;
With everybody starting
A procession of his own.

Singular unanimity appears In news

by the Government Of the principle
OF the new reciprocity tariff law. II
Is held that the traditional tariff wall
can be maintained only by n debtor
nation, because Of the difficulties In
financing foreign commerce. and that
the United States since the World
War has been . creditor Nation. with
the result that 1t must remove the
barriers to commerce with other coun-
tries.

the United States, most Of the time

pears rs major factor In phngins

become a creditor Nation: yet, except
for the years when we were lending

plications of a creditor Nation. This
law gives the President tremendous
power. Successful exercise of It will
mean control Of the rival interests
seeking tariff favors and the ascend
ancy Of the national welfare In the
writing Of tariffs. It will not be an
easy task, but Congress years ago
proved its incapacity for the job. The
new method may be the beginning Of
. restored world trade"
by this measure" says the To-
peka Daily Capital, ''the President will
be empowered to negotiate tariff

Senators supported the bill, among

not seem . large extension OF execu-
tive power. The only respect in which
1t differs from the existing law is In
authorizing the President to bring in
reciprocal arrangements with other
governments for the ADVANTAGE Of
American trade"
Pointing to the local forces that
usually affect the drawing of q tariff
bill. the San Francisco Chronicle sug-
gests that 1t fortunately escaped the
fate that might have overtaken 1t,
with the possibility Of antagonism, not
to the measure as \ whole, but to the
failure to provide for exemptions from

cuse Herald. empowers the President
to open negotiations for reciprocal
agreements on tariff revision with 0

Rich Someday
He had dreamed along those
lines many times. Some day he'd
be rich and never have to work
in the shoe factory again. At
times, he managed to convince
himself that things would work
out like that. He knew, even to
the last detail, exactly what he
was going to say to the boss upon
the occasion of his leaving. Her
bert's wife knew. too. She heard
1t often enough. She didn't believe
that the time would ever come
when Herbert would be in a po-
sition to speak up to the boss in
such manner. Deep in his
heart, Herbert didn't, either.
1t made things a little easier,
though, to think about it when
the bills were large and the pay
envelope was small. Most of the
time there was enough to take care
of their food and shelter and the
barest necessities. There was never
much more.
And now, here was the adver-
tisement. It bore the name of a
law firm in London. It sought in
formation regarding one Herbert
Cook to whom a legacy had been
left. Herbert Cook" it said,
nephew Of Henry Cook"
The newspaper shook in Her
bert'S hands. When he tried to
call to his wife his voice was a
thin squeak.
Look. Hannah. look here!"
The two stood and stared at
each other and tried to realize
that, after all these years, they
were poor no longer.
"Uncle Henry!" Herbert was
like a man in a daze. Gosh, he
left me his money!"
Hannah was no less excited
than her husband, but she was a
trifle more practical. There was
the possibility that he was not
the right man, she pointed out
He would have to write and make
sure.
Herbert did. He wrote that
same night. And during the next
two weeks, while he awaited an
answer, the men was in a fair way
of becoming a candidate for the
daffy house.
But the communication came at

they had been seeking. And If he
would present himself at their Of

would be necessary. they told him,
to be there in person. Certain
matters pertaining to the estate
would have to be settled.

would have to borrow. There
was no other way. It appeared
after a few days, that there
wasn't even that way. Few Of
their friends possessed hundred
dollars that they could afford to

BY Feg Murray

Some kiddies have papas that
run ice-cream stands. Some have
mamas that own candy stores, and
some kiddies have aunts and un-
cles who operate motion picture
shows.
To the last of the three lucky
groups belonged Mary Brian,
charming and petite screen lumi-
nary who will appear in person at
Loew's Fox Theater starting Fri
day.
When Miss Brian lived in Sny-
der, a little town in the Texas
prairie, her aunt and uncle oper-
ated the sole picture theater of
the settlement. She always was
admitted free-and often.
This modest movie house, which
ran a Western for a week at a
time and whose patrons wore
high-heeled cowboy boots, marks
the birthplace of the big idea
that guided Mary Brian to Holly.

enough to go to school, had her

tresS.
While her brother and her
cousins changed their ambitions
frequently, Mary determined to
become an actress and with her
this always was a single purpose.
Even when the circus came to
Snyder and all the girls decided
to become bareback riders and the
boys clowns, Mary still maintained
that she'd be an actress.

why, sure" he agreed. That's
all I need to do."...
It was extremely easy. The
money arrived in short order.
The ticket and passport were
taken care Of. And at last
Herbert was on the ship on his
way to Europe.
It was a terrifying experience
for the man. Never, in all his
forty years, had he been away
from home before. Never away
from Hannah even for a single
night. He had little money in
his pockets. Nor anywhere else
for that matter.
There was just the legacy now
for he had thrown up his job be-
fore leaving. He grew almost
happy again when he remem-
bered what he had said to the
boss. And he wouldn't be away
long. He'd simply get his hands
on the money, and then back to.
Hannah and a life Of ease and
happiness.
Most of the way over, he re-
manned in his small cabin. He
was a bit timid about meeting new
people. And he was too excited
to enjoy himself.
Herbert registered at a hotel in
London, the first one he came to.
He paused only long enough to
change his clothes. Then, at last,
to the lawyers offices.
There were several formalitieS
to be taken care of. He had to
identify himself and his signature.
The whole procedure was a trifle
slow.
That's ALL" The gentleman
behind the desk smiled.
"AH?" Herbert handed back the
receipt he had signed. What do
you mean-all? The money!"
The other man shook his head
regretfully.
This takes care of it," He held
up the receipt. You see, your
share OF the estate was not as
large as we expected. It amounted
to just 500, the amount we ad-
vanced you two weeks ago."
