SAVING MONEY

One of defense price regulator
Leon Henderson's staunchest sup
porters is Donald Nelson, dollar-a-
year OPM purchasing chief.
At a meeting of his ieutenants,
Nelson said: "We've got to watch
price advances like a hawk. Our
national economy won't stand for
any price skyrocketing. I want you
to catch every bid where prices are
out of line, and if we can't scale
them down, we'll turn the case over
to Leon"
Several days later an assistant,
examining cotton gauze prices sub
mitted by three companies holding
army contracts, smelled mouse
and showed the figures to Nelson.
The prices of two of the firms were
okay, but the third had boosted it's
bid 10 cents. Checking, Nelson found
that wages in mills had not adj
vanced and that large stock of
cotton was on hand.
So he called the manufacturer and
firmly informed him that unless his
price was put back into line the fur
would fly. Next day the company
submitted reduced figures.
NOte-Nelson' biggest problem in
keeping defense prices from soar
ing is the military brass-hats, who
are rated chiefly for their ability
to get materials for the army and
navy, and not on the price the gov
eminent has to fork out.

A NEW STORY
ON CAL COOLIDGE


FROM CHILDHOOD Gen. Newton
E. Turgeon of Buffalo had been a
close personal friend of Calvin Coo
idge. They were born in adjoining
homes in Vermont, had played to-
gether as children, attended school
and college together and remained
close friends while they lived.
When the Peace bridge across the
Niagara river, between Buffalo and
Black Rock, Ont, was to be opened,
people of Buffalo wanted the Presi-
dent to attend the opening cere-
monies. General Turgeon was sent
to Washington to get him.
Gal, you simply must come. The
people of Buffalo will be terribly dis
appointed if you do not" said the
general.
''Who is going to be there?" asked
the President.
:'The acknowledgement of On
taTio," replied Newt.
"Who else?" asked Cal.
1.-THE governor-general of all Can
ada," said Newt.
Anyone else?" queried Cal.
1.-THE prime minister of England"
said Newt.
Twill the king be there?" asked
Cal.
mo, but the prince of Wales will, |"
answered Newt.
'Then 1 will send john" said Cal
and he did.
General Turgeon told me the story
just after the Peace bridge was
opened as illustrative of the Coolidge
taciturnity, and insisted that was
the full extent of their conversation
on the subject.
1t is a Coolidge story which has
never before been printed.

Hobart, Helen Vinson, Leon Belasco
and Left Erikson.
It looks as if Gloria Swanson
would really return to the screen in
"Father Takes Wife" with Adolphe
Menjou, Desi Arnaz and John How
ard. Mr.. Menjou, famous for his
wardrobe, and Miss Swanson, equal
ly famous for hers, have been hav-
ing wardrobe tests at RKO; she has
a reputation in New York for being
able to wear just anything at all and
look smart in it.
Joan CrawfOrd's New York fans,
who troop around at her heels when
ever she's in town, recently present
ed her with a rather staggering
birthday gift-a birthday card more
than two feet square, which they'd
had autographed by dozens of ia
nous theatrical people.
The public apparently spends lot
of time and thought on trying to beat
the quiz shows; the newest wrinkle
bobbed up recently in connection
with Ben Bernie's program. For
two weeks he was besieged with
requests for tickets to the repeat
show. Here's the reason:

prize of 500 are selected by their
ability to guess from a recording
how many shots are fired out of a
machine gun in so many seconds.
One night on the first show, the
number of shets fired was So. On
the repeat show, all the contestants
promptly guessed 40, so and 81.
But they were fooled-Bernie had SO
shots fired the second time, by let
ting the record run longer.

losophy in the world than
u the philosophy that teaches
us to live a minute at a time.
There is no surer cure for
doubt, anxiety or despair. There
is no quicker road to security
and happiness.
/ say. security" because of
late months we have been SUBJ
shutting that word for our old
supreme goal, happiness" We
pitifully want security. Not
wealth, titles, jewels, gaiety,
travel. The worlds bitter woes
and bitter needs have swept
away those old weak desires.
We want security now; security
for everyone. Security to have
an untroubled home, though it
be only of four rooms, and a
lamp by which to read books,
and a few beloved faces near
us. Security to go to church on
Sunday, to have simple food on
the table three times a day, to
teach our children what we be-
lieve of honesty and forgiveness
and brotherhood, and to launch
them simply and quietly into
simple and quiet lives of their
own.
Security for All.
We want everyone to have this;
not just Americans, not just our
friends. We want security for OBJ
scure Chinese women, pattering
along beside their muddy canals
with their open little baskets that
hold life-giving rice, and with a
clean bit of rag in which to wrap
the precious scrap of pork. We
want security for East Indian wom-
en-, slipping through narrow streets
and jangling bazaars, pushed aside
by the arrogant cattle they hold sa-
cred, obliged to hide everything of
their beauty and youth except their
dark eyes, STOPPING eagerly to drink
the filthy sacred waters of the Gan
ges in which bodies and sewerage
float together.
We want tive women of America
are begging God each day to grant
it, to show us how to hold it!-we
want security for women in the Bal
kans, in the jungles of Africa, in
the hungry oppressed countries Of
northern Europe, in the poorest
slums of the great cities. Just Sc
curity! No matter on what humble
terms, no matter how plainly, but
let us feel safeI
1t may be very low roof, a plat
ter of macaroni, bowl of potage, a
dish of Irish boiled potatoes, it may
be the goulash of Hungary, the
bortsch of Russia, the rice of the
Orient-nothing more. But after this
war, with its fears piled upon fears,
is over, let us begin to spread hum
BILE peace, humble plenty in every
town and village and crossroads
hamlet of the world, and let us glad
ly sacrifice half of what we have,
two-thirds of what we have, for the
divine knowledge that want and hate
and fear are lessened in this world,
and that fear and war have gone
with them.
Remedy for Worries.
Things aren't going, in these days,
the way many of us would have
them go. Some of us feel that a
very little spent upon peace depart
ments would pay us better than a
great deal spent upon war. But if
you feel dissatisfied, if you feel rest
less and fearful, confused by conflict
ing arguments and assertions, I'm
able to believe all the badness that

COLONEL HOUSES STORY
OF BREAK WITH WILSON

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT sent
Harry Hopkins to Europe, presuma-
bly, in the same capacity-that OF
personal representatives. PreSi-
dent Wilson sent Col. Edward M.
House during the first World war.
I knew Colonel House and fire.
quently called on him at his home,
a small six-room apartment on East
Fifty-second street in New York
city. My last call there was shortly
after his return from the peace con-
ference, and / learned from Colonel
House the reason for his break with
President Wilson.
On the way to Europe, the Presi-
dent announced to other members of
the American delegation that he
would do the talking when anything
was to be said to heads of any of
the other four delegations. When
the peace treaty had been complet-
ed, the day for Germany to sign des-
ignated, and the delegations arrang-
ing to leave France, Lloyd George
asked Colonel and Mrs. House to
pay him visit before returning to
America The Colonel and Mrs.
House accepted that invitation.
The day before the treaty was
signed, Colonel House dropped into
Lloyd Georges apartment to ascer-
tain what train they were to take
and to make final arrangements for
the visit. While he was there, Presi-
dent Wilson called at Lloyd Georges
apartments and finding Colonel
House present, at once turned and
walked out. He did not speak to the
Colonel after that incident.
Colonel House believed Mr.. Will
son imagined he was talking to
Lloyd George on some forbidden
subject, but he was never given an
opportunity to explain.
"On my return to the United
States" said the Colonel, 81 advised
the President of my arrival and told
him would be glad to serve him in
any way he might wish, but did not
receive any acknowledgment of that
note"
So ended one of the most unusual
friendships in history.
Mrs. Wilson has claimed that it
was her efforts which turned the
President against Colonel House,
but the above is the finale of the
Wilson and House association.

shirt and with no opportunity to

when you were permitted to sit up
for few minutes at a time, still
clad in that night shirt and blan-
ket wrapped about you. Later you
were told you could get dressed in
real clotheS-a shirt and pants,
socks and shoes and necktie. You
pushed your wobbly legs inside a
pair of trousers and, oh boy! How
good it did feel You were man
again. You stood on your hind legs,
looked the whole world in the face
and dared it to do its worst.

and local government and the

which they are supposed to be
built.
The inner strength Of a demo-
cracy lies In the ability Of a rela-
lively free society when conditions
change to make voluntary read
adjustments with a minimum of
violence and friction between var
ious interest groups One Of the
criticisms of democratic society
which one frequently hears nova
days from totalitarian protagonists
is that self-government and democ-
racy are inherently shortsighted
and selfish and that statesmanlike
decisions looking to the general
welfare are not to be expected
from it. Must we admit that this
is true?
In these critical days when our
democratic way of life is being
thus questioned, both from with
in and without, 1t is particularly
important that we demonstrate to
the world and to ourselves that we
can voluntarily and in good faith
accomplish our own governmental
readjustments and willingly carry
out our constitutional responsible
tiles.
