GREAT SATISFACTION
Swimming gives freedom of
movement to the hip joints, shak-
ing off adipoSe cushions that may
have attached themselves to hips,
abdomen or thighs. Ali this means
that one must be vigorously ac-
tive, not just play around, taking
a few strokes now and then. There
is a great satisfaction in being a
first-claSs swimmer, moving beau
tifully through the water. Grace
fulness results and ease of move
nent becomes habit.
The girl who likes obe a mer-
maid all Summer long will be a
good dress carrier; she will devel-
op neat sweeping line from the
lower ribs to the thighs.
During the act Of swimming
there is no strain on the spine be-
cause the body is lighter than
water. There is no tension of the
back muscles because Of the free
movements, but the muscles of the
abdomen contract, which means
that they are frightened, streng-
thened and take up slack. Stout
darlings should keep that fact in
mind. Swimming is their beauty
dish.
After the first shock of the cold
water there should be quick reac-
tion of the bloodstreams, a sense
of warmth and well being, an in
crease of energy. All that's what
most of us need.

Recent polls would seem to Indicate

colleges and universities. \ distorted
pacifism is working side by side with
alien propaganda to undermine national
defense by destroying our morale. Many
other sinister implications indicate the
desperate need of rebirth of patriotism
among the younger generation.
Real patriotism, such as the Legion is
endeavoring to teach, carries no taint
of silly, swashbuckling jingoism. 1t alb

dictatorship. We hate oppression. And
yet from east and west their baneful

From within comes a further menace

THE CORNER
INCORPORATES
(Wall Street JOurnaD


The milestoneS which mark the stages
in the progress of history are frequent
ly passed without notice by the genera
ton of the time. and become apparent
only in retrospect. Occasionally, how
ever, they stand out in clear sight for
all to mark. The passing of the great
private banking firm of j. P. Morgan
& Co. into corporate form is the out
ward and visible sign that something
has ceased to be.
1t is not merely that another living
human partnership is passing into i'm
personality. The Morgan firm occupied
unique niche in our business society
because of the impress that its PERSONAL
ity left on the country's business life
The magic of the Morgan name was the
product neither of long tradition nor of
great wealth. 1t was there when the
firm was barely 80 years old and when
its resources were not preeminent in the
world of finance. No private banking
firm in the world during the last CEN
tury ever fully matched the Morgan
House in its prestige and influence, and
that prestige and influence rested upon
personality.
Personality is personal; it is seldom
transmitted through a corporation. We

ture of things preserve forever the
Morgan touch that so uniquely influ-
enced the affairs of this country-and,
at times, of the world-during the last
half century; though it need scarcely be
added that the evolution will be grad
ual. 1t is we'll to remember. by the way,
that the real secret of that touch" was
a universal recognition that behind the
wealth and the ability represented by
the House there stood character-and
nothing is more personal than character.

Famous Sayings
Willis Thornton's Editorial On:
Money Hired Out for Rent Again

People who go around looking
for mortgage money usually have a
reasonably fair idea Just how good
times are. If the moneys easy
to get. they know things aren't
so bad. if capital can't be rapidly
pried loose, conditions aren't so
good.
So the recent report of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards. to the effect that capital
is again looking for takers, offers
a hopeful footnoie on the signs OF
the times. In 81 per cent OF 26l
representative cities. the report
said. capital was readily available
for mortgage loans. In II per cent
of the cities. the supply was keep
ing up with the demand, and in
only 8 per cent was there a short
age of money
In fact. the situation has never
appeared more favorable during the
II years in which surveys have
been made. the association said.
OF further cheer to the prospec-
tive home owner should be the fact
that mortgage interest rates have
dropped off generally from 6 per

NOT The ROAD TO SUCCESS

the real bootlegger under Kansas dry
laws-could finish his education at the

1t is not necessary to know Robert \.
Palmer, the husband to predict that no
amount of education will assure him
success. He hasn't the stuff success is
made Of or he would not accept his

Without character, no man can attain

The power of veto is one of the checks
and balances that make up the American
system. 1t is absolutely necessary if that
system is to be preserved. 1t serves some
times to prevent badly drawn legisla-
tion which has not been given thorough
consideration from going through. Some
times it keeps laws off the statute books
that would be unconstitutional Some
times it prevents undue restrictions of
the legislative power, or serves as a
check against vote-tradng and log roll
ing between the lawmakers.
But use of the power of veto as a
purely personal political weapon is an
abuse of the power. 1t should not be
tolerated at all.
The relief issue has not been consider
ed hastily, nor has the legislatures deci-
sion been arrived at without conSidera-

ter. The people of the state have been
kept informed of the relief deliberations
by reamS of printed matter and hours
of speeches. They have had every chance
in the world to complain to their sena-
tors and assemblymen if they did not
like what the legislature intended doing.

Dollar-and- cents results OF the

for 1898, fell $40 in Chicago. $3.50
in Detroit. Sl66 in Los Angeles, Sll

and Sll5 in the District of Columbia
These figures aren't conclusive
