American Millionaires in
1884 Numbered Only 80

a CCORDING to an income tax
analysis given out by the bureau
of internal revenue, thirty-three AM
orleans received incomes in excess

This group of 80 millionaires en-
joyed an income of $57, IT'S, 900, but
they were forced to pour So, 211 900
into the Golfers of the United States
treasury. They paid a tax of SO per
cent on their surtax net income.
One lone individual in the United
States had an income of more than
5 million dollars for 1884. The in

Early Magazines Failed
to Be Business Success

The first magazine in the United
States was called the American
Magazine, and was issued in Phila-
delphia, Feb. Is, 1741, by Andrew
Bradford, printer, business rival of
Benjamin Franklin. 1t was edited
by John Webbe.
1t appears that the idea OF start
ing a magazine in this vountry, on
the lines of the famous Gentleman's
Magazine of London, originated
with Franklin. But he incautiously
divulged his scheme to Webbe, with
the result that Bradford offered his
publication to the colonies three
days before Franklin's General
Magazine was out. Neither pub
LEGATION lasted very long, however.
Webbe's expired with its second
number and Frankiin's with its
sixth. The Saturday Evening Post,
another Franklin publication, dates
to 1923, but was not originally a
magazine.
Down to the Revolution, observes
a writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, sixteen magazines had
been launched in America. They
included such titles as the New
England Magazine of knowledge
and Pleasure, begun in Boston in
1883; the American Magazine and
Monthly Chronicle, started in Phila-
delphia in 1857. None survived
more than a few years.
Charles Brockden Brown, the
first American novelist, established
in New York in 1899 the Monthly
Magazine and Literary Journal,
which lasted three years. And in
1901 there was launched in Phila-
delphia the Port Folio, which sur
vived until 1874 remarkable rec.
ord among early periodicals. Ar
excellent magazine of this time was
the Anthology and Boston Review
(Boston, 1903 1917, to which
Everett Ticknor and John Quincy
Adams were contributors.

Better Farm Program
Promised by Wallace

M EMBERS of the American
ASA Farm Bureau federation, as
sembled in Pasadena, Calf, were
told by Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace that the government would
provide better farm program than
the AAA; but he also said the
farmer must be willing to accept
'ssmall increases in the imports OF
certain agricultural products"
SIN the cause of peace" he said,
"the farmers of the United States
must learn to say yes as often as
possible to agricultural imports
from Pan-America, while at the
same time reserving the right to
say mo- when any vital branch OF
agriculture is likely to be menaced
by too great imports
The federation conferred upon
Mr.. Wallace its highest honor, the
award for distinguished service to
agriculture.

this does not signify that at heart
affection is gone. Separation

Within a family there is sure to
be some dissension at times
young folk may quarrel and adults
dispute. But when these times are
over, the ties of affection, the as

fabric of their lives so closely
woven together, should prove a
firm foundation for continued COM

Peace Proposal Is Signed
by American Republics

D REPRESENTATIVES of the 81
IN American republics gathered in
the conference at Buenos Aires all
signed two measures designed to
maintain peace, security and non
intervention in the Western world.
These projects are:
A plan for maintenance of peace
and security which provides for con-
sultation in the event of war within
the American continents or war
abroad which menaces American
peace.
A reiteration of the resolution of
the 1888 Pan-American conference,
for nonintervention by one nation in
another's affairs This carried also a
Mexican amendment for consulta-
ton if intervention appears neces-
Sary.

TO MOST persons there comes
l. sometime in their lives the
opportunity for a choice between
independence and loneliness or ties
and affection. The wise mature
person thinks long before choosing
the former above the latter. There
are many young people, however,
who feel so sure of themselves
and their ability to "get along
all right" that they are irked by
the least restraint. They throw it
off, only to discover later in life
that affection is worth the curtail-
ing restraint and dependence en-
tailed. Companionship has been
their portion up to the time of
their decision that dependence is
what they must have, at any cost.
They have no idea of what lone
illness means.
Separation.
The adult who is separated from
his family because of distance,
domestic estrangement, or who
has outlived the other members,
realizes to the full what it means
to be alone. 1t is when estrange-
ment causes the separation that

ness creeps over him Cor herr,

house of commons by Prime Min
lister Stanley Baldwin. Haggard and
deeply moved, the man who has
borne the brunt of the struggle on
behalf of the cabinet and parlia-
ment handed the speaker the royal
message and the speaker read il
to the half stunned members. This
is what Edward said:
Realizing as do the gravity OF
this step I can only hope that shall
have the understanding of my peo-
pies in the decision l have taken
and the reasons which have led me
to take it.
81 conceive that I am not over
looking the duty that rests on me
to place in the forefront the public
interest when I declare that I am
conscious that I can no longer dis
charge this heavy task with eff
cheney or with satisfaction to my
self.
81 have accordingly this morning
executed an instrument of abdica-
ton in the terms following:
"T, Edward VIII of Great Brit
ain, Ireland, the British dominions
beyond the seas, king, emperor of
India, do hereby declare my ire
vocable determination to renounce
the throne for myself and my de-
scendants. My desire is that effect
should be given to this instrument
of abdication Immediately.
In token thereof I have hereun-
to set my hand this 10th day of
December, 1886, in the presence of
the witnesses whose signatures are
subscribed.
There followed request that the
accession of his brother to the
throne be expedited, and according
ly enabling legislation effecting the
abdication and the accession of the
new king was promptly introduced
and put through the house of COM
mons and the house of lords.
The new king was proclaimed
with the traditional ceremony fol-
lowing an assembly of the accession
council made up of privy councillors
and'other distinguished persons.
That evening the ex-king went on
the air to broadcast message of
farewell to the half billion people
who had been his subjects.
King Georges first official act
was to make his brother Edward
duke of Windsor. The encourage of
the abdicated monarch seem to pre-
fer to call him Prince Edward. For
the present he is in seclusion at
the castle of Baron Eugene Roths-
child not far from Vienna.
In most questionable taste was a
radio broadcast by the archbishop
of Canterbury after the affair was
all over. The primate scored Ed
ward for seeking his private happi-
ness Sin manner inconsistent with
Christian principles of marriage
and within social circle whose
standards and ways of life are alien
to all the best instincts and tradi-
tons of his people,"
Parliaments of all the British do
minions passed legislation ratifying
the abdication of Edward and the
accession of George. But the Irish
Free State, as had been expected,
adopted measures almost eliminat-
ing the last vestiges of its adher-
ence to the empire. The dali eire-
ann erased the name of the British
king from the Irish constitution,
abolished the office of governor gen.
eral, the kings representative, and
described limited functions for
George VI of England in the for
eign affairs of the Free State.

Presidents Son Probably

1T IS believed that James Roose-

who has been with him on the South
American tour, will serve as one of
his fathers secretaries and his gen.

without title.
The President is said to feel he
must have at his side some one who
knows him intimately and who can
perform many of the confidential
little errands which were performed
by Mr.. Howe and Gus Generich,
both now dead.
