MATRIMONIAL TANGLE

One of the Strangest matrimonial mix
ups on record is reported from Pittsburgh.
Two years ago John Murphy and Frances
Jones wanted to get married, but on ac-
count of Murphy's extremely youthful ap-
pearance he feared to apply for mar
riage license, so a friend named Letting,
well volunteered to secure the coveted
document in Murphys name, which was
done.
To complete his good turn, Letting
well also went through the marriage cere-
mony with Miss Jones, representing him.
self to be Murphy, then turned the happy
bride and wedding certificate over to
Murphy and calling it day.
Later on, meditating no doubt over
his friends happiness, Leffingwell took
unto himself bride of his own, but their
matrimonial bark soon went upon the
rocks of incompatibility and divorce
was the result. Meditating again, Letting
well was reminded that he had really been
married to the supposed Mrs. Murphy,
confronted her with the fact, and suggest.
ed that she fly with him. She flew. Tir-
ing of welded life for the second time,
Leffingwell flew again, but alone. In the
meantime Murphy has also disappeared
Now Mrs Murphy, or it may be Mrs
Leffingwell, if either, finds herself in a
predicamenteand is asking these questions:
Has shea hi sband at. all? / Or has she
two?@ Tiff only one, which, And why?

RULES ARE CHANGING

Dr. Walter Dill Scott, although him
self a Presbyterian is president of North
western University, Chicago, the largest
Methodist institution of learning. Some
time ago he discussed the indifference to
religion which is apparent among present
day college students and graduates. He
frankly admitted that the colleges had en-
couraged the material viewpoint and said:
Science started the trouble. We
taught our youth the scientific history of
mankind, which upset their religious train
ings and we gave them nothing to replace
their old creed. We threw away the old
tools before we had developed the new.
I'm the early days there were certain
fixed rules which governed life. This
shalt thou do and this thou shalt not do.
Today these rules are all topsy-turvy. We
can't teach our students any one set of
rules, because we don't know what they
are ourselves"
Dr. Scott then defined the new reli-
gion as not being confined to any sect or
dogma, but as the broad science of living
with our fellowmen and making them hap
pier and better.
Speaking of the lack of religious
education in the home, he said: Parents
are not educating their children religiously,
as they did a generation4ago, because they
do not know what to teach them. The
parents themselves do not know what they
believe. We. are in u transitional stage"
The substance of DR.. Scotts conclu-
sions is that ultimately the, old -creeds will
be abandonea to great extent in view of
the revelations of modern science. The
process involved in the development of a
new and rational religion is what he de-
scribes as "a transitional stage

SMALL TOWN FACTORIES

No continuity aud no state ever be-
came fully prosperous through agriculture
alone. declares T. r. Preston, former pres
ident of the American Bankers Associa-
ton, who is a strong advocate of combin-
ing industry with agriculture by locating
factories in the smaller communities.
Mr. Preston cites particularly the
small cities and towns of North Carolina,
Pennsylvania and Ohio as affording ex-
cellent examples of such combination. He
points out that industry and agriculture
are we'll balanced with the result that the
farm problem is less acute in those states
The idea of locating new factories in
towns and villages. instead of further CON
centrating them in congested centers of
population. is spreading throughout the
country, and some of the largest factories
are now so located An example is Kings

What Price Buying Power

unnecessary officials does not reduce
the aggregate Of purchasing power.
The governmental officials that are
dispensed with have less purchasing
power. to be sure. but the overbur-
dened taxpayers have more.
The purchasing power argument
enjoys its greatest vogue these days
in connection with wage controver-
sizes. That laborers, unskilled and
skilled. should earn and receive wages
sufficient to maintain high standard
of living is the wish of every forward
looking citizen. But are higher wages,
not based on increased efficiency or
productivity, to be justified on the
specific ground that they viii add to
the national purchasing power, and
thus make the country more prosper
Gus?
To so argue l. to overlook the fact
that additional sums paid in wages
reduce correspondingly the purchas-
ing power available to other groups.
Had wages not been increased, the
price of the goods could have been
reduced, and the consumer of the
goods would have had greater pur-

wages ought to be raised, but they
should not be raiseC OF the specious
ground that general purchasing pow
er would be increased thereby.
How then is national purchasing
power to be increased? Obviously by
increasing the output of goods. Sup
pose that everyone has twice as many
dollars as before. but there is no
change in the output Of agricultural
and manufactured products. Does the
possession of more dollars give in
creased purchasing power? Clearly
not. Though everyone has more doll
lars. the goods available for purchase
are unchanged in amount.
Suppose. on the other hand, that
everyone has the same number Of
dollars as before. but the output OF
goods doubles. There will, therefore,
be twice as many goods available for
purchase. Prices will be lower, but
the same number of dollars will be
used to finance twice as many pur-
ehases.
The conclusion follows that impor-
tant though equitable distribution be.
abundant production is even more
important.

the expense Of other. and usually
larger groups. There was therefore no
addition to purchasing power, but
merely a redistribution thereof.
In some cases the proponents of the
scheme were not sufficiently trained
in economic reasoning to realize that
all that was being accomplished was
a redistribution of purchasing pow
er: in other cases they realized 1t
clearly enough. but they favored the
scheme IL the redistribution benefit
ed the particular group to which they
belonged or for which they were the
advocates.
One of the most widely discussed
proposals for increasing purchasing
power was the Townsend plan. The
advocates of this plaL claimed that
giving 5000 a month to qualified per-
sons sixty years of age and over
would create twenty billion dollars
of purchasing power. but they over
looked the fact that the transaction
taxes that were to provide these
twenty billion dollars would reduce
correspondingly the purchasing pow
er of the much larger group that
would pay the taxes.
The purchasing power argument Is
also brought forward whenever the
attempt is made to reduce GOVERN
ment expenses. by abolishing unnec-
essary bureaus or reducing their
stats. But obviously the dropping of

There can be no parking of
cars on the streets of Key West
after 2 a. M, when the new street
sweeper gets going and in full
operation. This statement was

machine. MIR. Fur shows that
the 10000 pound sprinkling and
sweeping machine must work right
up to the eurbing and if auto
mobiles are in the way they must
either be moved or the machine
go around them and this will leave
a dirty and unsightly spot. The
city will be asked to pass an ordi-
nance providing that cars shall
not be left parked on the streets
after 2 o'clock in the morning.
The new machine is being demon
strated by Walter johnson, ma
