Many q man who can manage q
good sized business wisely, uses no
judgment in managing his own nv-
ing. He does the things that des-
troy his health and half his energy
and rob him of his ability until he
becomes nervous and a physical
wreck. He would discharge an em-
ployee who would mistreat any ma
chime in his industry and even look
after the needs of his automobile
with meticulous care, but his own
physical self, which has more po-
tential value than his entire bus
mess, he neglects and abuses.

FACTS VS.. EPIGRAMS
1.-THE greatest truths are the sim
plest."
During the past few years the
American people have witnessed
the injection Of many new and COM
plex ideas into their once direct and
simple form Of government.
And they have been further puz-
zled by long explanations Of those
novelties, often in terms still more
complex and unfamiliar.
The process continues quickened
during recent weeks by the demands
OF campaign oratory. Yet even when
enlivened by epigram and wisecrack
many of those explanations sound
strange and foreign to the Amer
lean ear.
But there is no reason for such
completely. Facts are simple things.
and In campaigns as in routine re-
ports Of government. may be simply
told. The fundamental issues which
interest the American people need
neither epigram nor wisecrack to
clarity them.
The strength, the value and the
security Of our Constitution, for ex-
ample, can be described in the sim
plest terms. Reason for discarding
its basic principles need more In
volved exclamation.
The sanctity Of personal liberty
Of the right Of every citizen to run
his own farm, his own business, his
own affairs lis another truth that
can be simply stated. Reasons for
curbing that freedom are harder to
present.
The need to eliminate extrava-
gance in government and its conse-
quent drain on the earnings and re-
sources Of every citizen, may be
readily outlined and understood
Reasons for continuing such waste
require longer, more difficult and
more complicated phrases.
II campaign orators will remem-
her these things their labors viii
be both easier and more effective
The American people are eager to-
day for facts, not epigrams.
They realize that the greatest
truths are not only the simplest
they are also the most easily told.

DOLLAR RISES
ON POUND

NEW YORK, Sept. 26 G.N.SD.
Decision of France to devalue her
currency paralyzed world foreign
exchange markets today. Dealings
were halted and the few quota
tionS obtainable were nominal and
indicated the trend rather than
actual dealings.
A boom in the dollar was appar-
ent, particularly against the pound
sterling which at one time was
quoted as low as $4.90 here and
in London against yesterdays
close of $5.01.
The tumble in the pound, fol-
lowing weakness yesterday, over
shadowed the rest of the exchange
list where the franc quickly rea-
ligned itself to the proposed deval-
uation. While the franc was nomi-
nally quoted here at 5 cents, the
bids heard were from 4.42 to 4.60
cents.
Under the terms to be presented
to the special meeting of the
French parliament on Monday,
the new franc parity will range 25
to "a per cent under the old ratio.
This would make the new values
4.34 cents to 4.96 cents. The franc
closed yesterday at 6.5812 cents
and it's parity against the 59-cent
American dollars was 663 cents.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26 G.N.S0.
The curb market turned rather

holding at higher levels but well
under peaks for the session.
Sharp gains registered in both
oils and utilities in the first buy
ing movement were cut consider
ably.
Gains of almost 2 points in Gulf
Oil were pared to less than a
point as the reaction set in. Hum
ble's gains were also reduced
slightly. Standard of Ohio, up al
most a point at the opening, eased
to about unchanged levels.
Mining shares retained frac-
tional gains with New York and
Honduras Rosario up sharply on
a single sale.
A gain of a point in United
Light preferred was erased in
later trading. Electric Bond and
Share steadied at about 34-point
advance. United Gas lost most of
gains. Illinois Power $6 preferred

STOCKS SPURT
BUT REALIZING
PARESGAINS
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Sept. 26 QN.SD.
The stock market advanced l to
more than 4 points today as the
long-anticiptaed French currency
devaluation was announced, the
rush Of buying orders sending the
ticker 2 minutes behind at one
time.
The list started with rush with
leaders up from 2 to 3 points, but
profit-taking developed and wiped
out half of the early gains.
Heavy demand for steels, motors,
and rails, however, brought a later
rally and early peaks in most cases
were surpassed in the last few
minutes of trading.
Profit-taking again made its ap-
pearance at the close and pared
earlier gains somewhat.
ChrySler started at 1872,
spurted to 1921, fell to 100, and
then jumped to 1913.
U. S. Steel was up points in
the first hour and held most of
this to the close, while Bethlehem
rose more than 2 points to cross
10. Allied Chemical, which slumped
8 points yesterday, rebounded 8
today before meeting profit-taking.
Rails chalked up wide gains,
paced by Union Pacific.
AviationS, farm equipments. and
copperS were higher. Utilities
Jagged.
Bonds followed the stock list up
ward, although French issues were
weak.
