A HUSBAND WHO BOUGHT
WIFE'S CLOTHES

THERE Is fresh evidence to
i prove that George Washington
was a brave man. 1t appears now
that he picked his wife's dresses
And that, says the history professor
who makes the revelation, is proof
that he was the bravest man of his
day.
There is more. Not only did the
first President pick his wife's
dresses, but Martha liked them.
And that, many a wife would say,
showed Martha brave-to manage
to like dresses which a man picked
for her.
But that, we suggest, depends on
the man. There have been hus:
bands, you know, who not only
would trouble to notice their wives
clothes, but who actually under
stood women's clothes. Oh, not
many, I know. But they have ex-
listed. There have even been men
who could-and would-go shop
ping with their wives, with actual
benefit to the aforesaid women. OF
course, they have been few and far

his having sufficient interest to go

Such a man, such a husband, we
now for the first time find George
Washington to have been. 1t is not
too much to say that in the light
of this new Information about the

history books should be written.
For 1t Is one thing to be a great

Now, Buster Bear, as I said be-
fore, can move quickly, but he can
not run around a tree trunk as fast
as a little Meadow Mouse can. He
soon found that out. Danny al
ways managed to keep the trunk Of
that tree between them. Finally
Buster Bear gave up running
around that tree and sat up to
think. On the other side Of that
tree crouched the most frightened
Meadow Mouse in all the Great
World, wondering what would hap
pen next, and trembling so that he
shook all over. Danny had played
many games Of hide and seek in
his life, but never one in which he
had felt so wholly helpless as he
did now. ~. &c.,. II

the congressman then representing
tbe Seventeenth district. This dis
trIct includes upper Fifth avenue
Riverside drive and probably is the
banner district for invested wealth
I'm the entire United States. The
percentage Of all railroad securities
owned by persons living In that dis
trIct would be startling II there
were any way OF checking up on It.
Yet no one OF these wealthy own
ers bothered TO write.
A little later In the same session
I'm which the Esch -Cummins bill was
passed there came up a little meas
ure which would affect florists. The
congressman from the wealthy Sew
enteenth New York district was
overwhelmed with mail. He had
not realized there were so many
florists In his constituency.
Florists on Job
The point is that the florists were
on the Job, as far as watching
against adverse legislation Is con-
cerned. The investors were not.
But this year has seen the In
vestors modified for the first time
The question is: Can business In
general do the same sort Of Job that
the utility executives did this year
In arouslng their stocEhOlders2
While no one knows what tho
final rates Of the tax against big
ness will be, the top rate IN the
preliminary figures-fOr which no
one acknowledges responsibility
are 17h per cent. This means
nearly one-fifth Of cOmpanys net
income.
Compilations as to what this
would do to the big companies have
been made, and general agreement
is that this would be sufficient to
put them out OF business.
But the object OF the sliding
scale is aVowedly 10 put them out
Of business, which means that the
present bill is only an opening
wedge. Obviously the investors
most hurt by this program, II con-
tinued, will be the common stock
holders. Their dividends will DO

Sharp boosting In the taxes
would mean that II, and other large
corporations, would be obliged to
reduce their dividends. The Ques-
ton is whether the stockholders
will begin q letter writing drive to
their congressman as the utility
stockholders did. II they do, tho
corporation sliding scale tax will
be beaten, as the "death sentence"
was.

Use to take the silver producers to
the promised land-not TO mention
producing q fair degree OF imitation
the silverites have watched with
growing irritation the begging down
of the treasury's buying campaign.
The law on the books is ample
to accomplish their purpose. 1t re-
quires the secretary Of the treas
ury to buy silver until the price
reaches $1.29 an ounce, or until 1t
becomes one-third OF the govern
ment's metallic reserve.
But ii does not fix time limit!
Secretary Of the Treasury Nor
genthau is not in sympathy with
the silver plan at all, save on one
detail. He does like the idea Of
buying a lot OF silver cheap, and
then reyaluing II, thus netting a
fat profit for the treasury-as the
treasury did on gold.
But to accomplish the most in
this direction It is necessary to buy
the silver at low prices. Every adj
ditional cent per ounce paid for
silver bought cuts down the revalu-
alton profit to the treasury when
that day comes.
Experts on the sidelines believe
that Morgenthau has played a mas
terly game at this, in view OF the
knowledge the whole world has that
the law provides this $1.29 objec-
tive. For a while the price of sill
yer spurted tremendously, holders

''Ding's" Big Job

LING dig JOp
Jay N. Darling-better known as
"Ding," the cartoonist-is trying to
do for wild ducks and geese, the
mountain goat, caribou, antelope,
and what-not In the game line,
what Mark Sullivan, serious writer
on politics and economics, did In
his youth for the buffalo.
Ding thinks Sullivan's Job was
magnificent, but rather amusing in
view OF the deeply serious nature
of the Sullivan's mental processes.
For example, Sullivan Is probably
the closest personal friend OF Her
bert Hoover.
When quite q. lad, Sullivan read
something In a newspaper about
the American buffalo, or more cor
rectly, bison, becoming extinct At
once he went into action. He wrote
to every living person who owned
a buffalo, including q British peer.
He wrote to every zoo in the coun-
try, asking IL they would like to
have a pair, and IL they would
promise to take care Of them and
let them breed II they got a suit
able pair. 49, se.
At the moment a big rancher not
far from Yellowstone park had
herd, which he found so unprofit-
able that he was obliged TO dispose
of them. It was the story about
this, setting forth also that the
bison was about to pass into ZOO
logical history, that started Mark
of. ..
Before he was through he had
disposed Of every buffalo in that
herd, placed them carefully In ZOOS
that wanted them, in cities all over
the country. As a result, the SUD-
ply Of buffalo today Is so plentiful
that every few years a herd is
turned over to the Indians for
slaughter. aea
The fact that Ding is now head
Of the biological survey is more
out OF the ordinary than Mark Sui
livan's taking an interest, I'm his
youth, in the buffalo. This man.
who is now head OF the biological
survey, is a Republican and was n
delegate to the Republican cOnyen-
ton that nominated Hoover.
Called Smart Move
SO great many people think the
smartest thing Mr.. Roosevelt has
done since he entered the White
House was to put Ding at the head
Of the biological survey. The man
is naturally Republican in his ten
denotes, and very hard-headed. In
deed, although Progressive. And
the fact that his pictures were
printed In about 800 fairly impor-
tant newspapers In this country
every morning, before he arranged
to lay or until his government ioh
was completed, made him pretty
nearly a nightmare for anyone IN
high Office whose policies Ding
might think humorous. He Womb
be apt to get the whole country
Laughing at the unfortunate states
man.
Which is also the real answer 70
the fact that he may surmount the
tremendous difficulties in tho nath
OF his plans to save game IN this
country This despite his forth
right declarations that $lOOOO0OOO
OF the taxpayers money has been
poured "down a rat hole' M 10

Thereupon the treasury began Its
maneuvering. 1t let leak out stories
that the administration was deeply
sympathetic with the plight into
which the American silver buying
policy had plunged China. And
so on.
Whereupon the price of silver
banged down, and the silver sena-
tors got madden and madden.
But meanwhile the treasury con-
tinued to pay considerably above
the world price for all newly mined
silver, making 1t clear to the min
ers that the price paid them would
not be revised downward no matter
what happened to the world price.
So the miners were happy, or at
least, not angry. Just a little dis
appointed at failure Of the price
to climb on up to $1.29, as pre-
dlcted.
The silver senators, however,
were not even placated by this. The
reason is not merely that they felt
cheated. believing they had provid-
ed for gradual rise to $l29, and
then seeing it fall. 1t so happens
that nearly all the silver senators
are also inflationists. They put
their bill over last session by a
coalition with imitation senators
from non-silver producing states.
And they knew perfectly well they
were not getting the degree OF in
fiation from the silver purchases
that they had expected.
Next session will see q much
more militant silver and imitation
bloc. Next session will be leading
down the straightway to election
day. And President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Morgenthau will be much more
considerate of the feelings of the
silver senators than they seem to
be now. .-s1
But meanwhile the treasury will
have bought a lot Of cheap silver,
and the profit to be boosted about
In the campaign will be much
sweeter! .. . .s.-

A Thought for Today


The threat of war strikes close to home
when we read of plans for Notifications
to be built in Vermont to prevent any
danger of cutting busy New England OH
from the rest of the nation. OF course,
in this instance the proposed fortiflca-
lions are merely an air base. The site
now under consideration is North Hero
Island, near the Vermont shore In Lake
Champlain. 1t is one of series OF strate-
getically planned air bases along the nortn-
ern border of the United States, extend
ing from the Atlantic to the pacific.
This naturally will end for all time the
proud boast of the United States ana
Canada that it's lengthy boundary line
has these many years been undetended oy
armed forces other than those placed
there to check smuggling, rum-runnlng'
and the like. However, judging by. re.
ports from Washington the international
amity existing between Canada and the
United States is not imperiled by the plans
for air bases. 1t has been suggested that
instead of making them constitute merely
q defense against invasion OF this coun-
try they be regarded as continental
defense.
So long as the congressional committee
on military affairs sticks to air bases that
have their commercial advantage, too, we
won't complain, but we hope that SUCH
preparations don't include the day when
we'll see the Green or White Mountains
bristling parapet towering into the sky
France and Germany and Belgium may
throw up their lines of steel between each
other, but we hardly think that such war
like demeanor is necessary in our isolated
position. We need have no fear from our
northern and southern neighbors. Until
they are overcome by more aggressive
foes, we do not believe in encouraging
Others to 20 war-conscious.
