SEEING STANDARDIZED

E. D. Ballard, of Atlanta Ga, a
representative of the Underwriters
Laboratories, was in the city today
Evening star., 1937-01-17

IT IS the wise man who is often wise enough
not to know too much, and in his eighty
second year Mr.. Chips had grown to be
J very wise indeed. Living in peaceful semi
retirement after more than half a century of
schoolmastering. it was possible for him to
enter his old school with an awareness that,
in mere items of knowledge, most Brookfield
boys could teach him quite as much as they
could learn from him. What is a straight
eight" he might ask, innocently, and when
dozen young voices had finished explaining,
he would reply, with the characteristic
chuckle that everyone at Brookfield had
inflated for years: ''Umph - umph i see.
just wondered how an eight - umph -
could possibly be straight - umph - that
was all. thought perhaps - umph M
Einstein had changed - umph - even the
shape of the figures 80"
He was always apt to joke about mathe
mates, partly because Gas he freely oonfessed)
he had never understood all this - umph -
xity, business" Nor. with attitude, was it
surprising that he regarded High Finance
with something of the bewildement (but none
of the adoration) with which South Sea
Islander regards a sewing machine Indeed he
once said: Few people understand High
Finance, and - mph - the higher it goes,
the fewer!" He was certainly not of the few,
and whenever he had any small capital to
invest he put it prudently, if unadventur-
ously, into British Government securities.
Only once did he stray from the orthodox
path, and that was when ION the advice of
a new and excessively plausible bank man.
ager) he bought few shares in National
and international Trust Limited, a corpora
ton which, in the early spring of 1929. seemed
as reliable as its name.
One April morning of that year Chips
found the following letter on his breakfast
table.
Dear old Chips - Just to remind you that
we don't seem to have met for years. Do you
remember me? You once thrashed me for
climbing on the roof of the Big Hall - that
was way back in 1903, which is long time
ago. If you are ever in town nowadays do
please have lunch with me at the St. Swithin's
Club i should enjoy chat over old times.
Yours ever, Charles E. Menvers."
Which was Just the sort of letter from an

old Brookfeld boy that Chips delighted to
receive. He replied that very morning in
his neat and very minute handwriting:
Dear Menvers - OF course remember
you. and you will doubtless be glad to know
that your roof exploit still holds the Brook
field record for impudence and foolhardiness.
happen to be visiting London next Thurs
day, so l will lunch with you then with
pleasure"
And so it came about that Mr.. Chips
entered the luxurious precincts of the St.
Swithin's Club for the first time in his life
and was welcomed by handsome, fresh
complexioned man of middle age who had
once been boy with keen eyes and mis-
chievous face. The eyes were still keen. and
to Chips it even seemed that the look of
mischief had not disappeared entirely.
''Hullo, Chips II fine to see you again.
You don't look day older!'
They all said that. Chips answered: II
can't - mph - return the compliment. You
look many days older!'
Menvers laughed and took the old mans
arm affectionately as they entered the famous
St. Swithin's dining room.
Never been here before, Chips: All well.
don't suppose business often takes you into
the City. This is the Cathedral of High
Finance, y'know Why, reckon there are
a dozen millionaires having lunch in this room
at the present moment :. And I'm one of
'em. Did you know that"
No. Chips hadn't known that. I'm afraid
mph Il never had much of head for
figures -"
Menvers laughed again. There was nothing
of the conventional caricatured fnancier
about him. He was not fat, bloated, or true
ulent in manner. He did not wear heavy gold
watch chain - merely an inoonspicuous silver
wristwatch. And he did not smoke cigars -
just ordinary gold-faked cigarettes. Except
for veneer of self-display that was more
famboyant than really boastful, he had still
the boyish charm that Chips 50 well remem-
bered. And also (as he proudly conhded) he
had a pretty wife and one child, boy.
Hope to put him into Brookfeld in Sep
tember. Chips. Keep an eye on him. won't

Chips reminded him that he had long re-
tired from schoolmastering and took no active

part in the life of the modern Brookfeld.
but Menvers brushed the implication aside.
Nonsense, Chips. My spies report that your
footsteps are heard on dark nights pacing up
and down the old familiar corridors What
was that tag in Virgil you used to teach US
begins "QuodrxpedoHle bHtrem" - ah yes,
I remember now - "QHodrnpedonte b'strss
sonitm quatii ungula eampum" -. Have got
it nght?"
Perfectly right" answered Chips, except
that - umph = l am not yet - umph "a
ghost; and never had - mph - four feet
:. But I'm glad to find you still keep up your
classical knowledge 1t was never - umph -
80 considerable as to be - umph "a burden
to you.'
So they talked and joked together through
out simple but exquisitely expensive meal.
Chips found that he still liked Menvers and
neither more nor less because the fellow
was millionaire. Nor, in his innocence, did
it occur to him as in the least remarkable
that wealthy City magnate should devote
two hours of busy day to reminiscing with
an octogenarian schoolmaster. Finally, when
they were on the point of shaking hands and
wishing each other the best of luck, Menvers
said
''Oh, by the way, Chips, happen to be
on the board of National and International
Trust and saw your name on our register
the other day Hardly the sort of invest
ment for you, should have thought. Quite
safe, mind you don't think there's any
thing wrong about it. But what's the matter
with War Loan for staid old buffer like
YOURSELF"
Chips explained about his bank managers
recommendation, to which Menvers listened
with, it seemed, touch of evaporation.
"Those fellows shouldn't take chances - why
can't they leave that sort of thing to those
in the game? Not, mind you, that want
to give you a false impression. The stocks
sound enough. . Fact s-I want as much
of it for myself as can get hold of. What
did you pay for your packet"
And Chips, of course, having no head for
figures, couldn't remember But by the time
he reached his house at Brookfield that eve
ming long and Che thought quite unneces-
sarily costly telegram awaited him. 1t ran:
AFTER YOUR DEPARTURE FOUND OUT PRICE
OFFER YOU DOUBLE IF YOU WILL SELL STOP
BEG YOU TO DO so AND DEVOTE PROFIT IF
YOU WISH TO SCHOOL MISSION OR ANY SIMILAR
RACKET REGARDS CHARLES THE ROOFWALKER
Now Chips, had he been shrewd thinker
in financial matters, would have argued:
Evening star., 1937-01-17

This man wants my stock 60 urgently that he
is apparently willing to pay twice the market
price for it. Ergo, since he is financier and
in the know, there must be something espe-
cially promising about it, and l should do
better to refuse his offer and hold on
But Chips was not shrewd thinker of this
kind. He was simple enough to feel that
acceptance of the offer was an easy way of
obliging Menvers and at the same time bene-
fiting deserving charity; 50 he wrote (not
telegraphed) an acceptance; and that was that.
April, remember. In June, as you probably
won't remember, National and International.
Trust crashed into spectacular bankruptcy.
When Chips saw the newspaper headlines his
immediate reaction made him write to Men,
vers a sympathetic note in which he said:
Il feel that your generous purchase of my
shares was so recent that cannot possibly
allow you to bear any extra loss. however
small, that would otherwise have fallen on
me- am therefore enclosing my cheque for
the full amount
BY return came a scribbled postcard en-
closed in an envelope:
Il have torn up your cheque. Don't be
damned fool. could see the end that morning
and wanted to get you out in time. If you
must help me, pray for me 80"
Two days later the arrest of Charles E.
Menvers on serious and complicated charges
of fraud provided the City with its biggest
sensation of years.
Chips, as have stressed all along, did
not understand High Finance. His business
code. so far as he had any, was simply - to
sell things fairly (though in point of fact
he never sold anything in his life except
old books to second hand dealer), to pay
all debts promptly (which was easy for him,
as he never owed anything but gas and light
ing bills), and to give generously to the
needy (Which was also easy for him, as he
was in the habit of living well within his
income). Simple yes, simple as his life.
He didn't understand the money axis on
which the lives of 50 many people revolve -
or stop revolving. What he did understand,
however, was the notion that any one of his
old boys never ceased to be his, no matter
what happened And therefore, though he
was old enough to find such duty arduous.
he attended every session of the four-day
trial of Charles Menvers.
He sat for hours in one of the back rows
of the public gallery at the Old Bailey.

ments by accounting experts, judicial rulings

Best Remedy for
Coughs is Easily
Mixed at Home

Needs No Cooking; Biz Sewing: J
To get the quickest relief from coughs
due to colds, mix your own remedy at
home. Once tried, you'll never use any
other kind of cough medicine, and it's
20 simple and easy.
First, make a syrup by stirring 2
cups granulated sugar and one cup of
water few moments. until dissolved.
A child could do it. No cooking needed.
Then get 21z ounces Of Pinex from
any druggist. This il a concentrated
compound of Norway Pine, famous for
its prompt action on throat and bron.
cbial membranes.
Put the Pinex into a pint bottle, and
add your syrup. Thus you make q full
pint of really better medicine than you
could buy ready-made for four times
the money. 1t never spoils, and chiH
dren love its pleasant taste.
And for quick, blessed relief, it has
no equal. You can feel it penetrating
the air passages in a way that means
business. 1t loosens the phlegm, soothes
the inflamed membranes. and eases the
soreness. Thus it makes breathing
easy, and lets you get restful sleep. q
Just try it, and If not pleased,
your money will be refunded.
