The New York Stock Exchange pulled a Florida spasm two or three weeks ago, but the Federal Reserve now believes the “binder boys M are gone and pretty soon everything will be pie except the crust and it will be pie crust. There ain’t much difference in Bull «► Snort oil at 436 today and a corner lot in Vista Heights On-the-Beach at $46,- 000.00 in 19 and 26. Bull Snort snorted once or twice during the early part of the year and her ehares advanced from 84 to 96 and then it snorted again, and it moved up to 210. and by the time It was pouring out enough •11 to justify a 3 per cent semi-annual dividend, the boys on the sachange were clamoring for it at 436. The whole country went into the stock gambling business. Two by fours bought what they could pay for by borrowing, stealing and dodging • honest debts, and the other bunch who had credit bought as long as they eould margin anything. Ninety-eight per cent of the folks who “invested" didn’t even know that the enterprises they were becoming stockholders in were actually operating, and the ma jority of them could not have told a fellow any more about his stocks than a tad pole could have enlightened him on the Einstein theory of relativity. The sooner the rich gamblers get all the poor gamblers have so’s the fools can go back to work at a more honorable undertaking,, the better it will be for our country. We must get down on an investment basis and dis card our speculative ideas. When a shower in Texas reduces the price of the American cotton crop $1,000,000 a day, and the merging of the Ohell Products Co. with the Squeezed Oats Corporation doubles the value of both stocks on the boards, then it is time for sensible people to prick themselves with a pin and ask what has become of our Congress. Something to Worry About. Every time cotton and wheat have a bad break, the farm relief board threatens to loan the farmers some money, and the market immediately goes back up a few points, and does n’t decline again for a day or two. Mussolini exercises almost as much power as the chairman of a highway commission. Dresses are shorter in front and longer behind than they were this tim* last year. The tail of a tad-pole does not disappear until its hind-legs are assured. By, GRANT DIXON ( SJGHTSI of NEW YORK UMkamu It is not true that Tom Heflin and Oscar DePriest were seen in the Un ion Station at Washington during the same week. But DePriest is helping to make some mighty good Democrats out of Smith back-sliders in Virginia. Did you ever hear the one about the old woman and her fourth husband at Niagara Falls? No? Neither have I. Money for legitimate purpose* be came high, scarce, hard to get and jm- possible. The folks who were afraid to gamble on the exchange were not afraid to put their cash in the hands •f the gamblers on call, and the fun kept a-coming. Big men advised against selling America short. FUro- Ings meant nothing to anybody as the bubble swelled. Dick bought at 360 and Tom got in at 380 and Harry landed at 400. Then the thing hap pened that happens to all booms I have nothing to say against chain stores, but if it were not for the old independent*;, this would be a miserable world indeed. Somebody has to sell groceries on credit so’t the majority of the folks will have some money left to buy gasoline and oil with. The trade journals now say, however, that the public won’t bust a credit merchant within 30 days of the date he opens up; rt takes about 45 davs. For Baby New York.—There are, even In this day of fabulous royalties and sales of motion picture rights, writers who are not wealthy. Of several such that I know, one recently became a father and all his friends showered the young son with gifts—appropriate clothing, silver spoons, mugs and what-not . “But the best present of all,” the* writer told me, “is one good old George X fcenL George gave my young hope- fat two $20 gold pieces, and my wife and I have been instructed not to start the child's bank account with them. Instead, we must, each morning, hold the coins dote to the baby’s eyes and clink them together. “As he grows up he will realise what real money Is, and he will be trained to grab for it whenever he sees it" • e e Defective Story A colored man walked into a pawn shop with a $230 camera. The pawn broker was suspicious and questioned the man regarding where be got such an expensive Instrument The colored gentleman thereupon departed hastily, not even troubling to take the camera, and not getting a ticket for It either. The pawnbroker turned the camera over to police, who found a roll of film in It This they bad developed and prints made from It The plw tores were scenes aboard a yacht and at obviously expensive beaches. “Aha!” said the detectives, “A rich man owns this camera.” One snap shot showed a close-up of a mao In, yachting costume, and a detectirb 4 recognized the subject It was Ed mond O'Brien, an actor and the son of a former Supreme court Justice. Pur suing the picture clew still further, the detective learned that the camera had been stolen from O'Brien, who hadn’t even bothered to notify the police. • • • Ssasitive Fallow Here \n a story they are telling But automobile* have done wonders for our hosn *AN and surgeons. It is of | estimated tha; ever 30 per cent of the whatsoever kind,—stocks, bonds, res! patients in out “human repair shops” estate or cotton. Too many men got scared at the same time. And before anybody knew what was What—stocks dec! ned about $26,000,- 000,000.00. That is practically the same amount of money that Uncle Sam loaned Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium and others during the war, and is the thing that is causing so much bitterness between and amongst the nations concerned. Some body had to pay these stock losses tn exactly 24 hours, but those foreign countries are asking for 60 years to •ettle their obliga|ipps, today ere then? because romebody ran into somebody « se, or a Ford tried to climb a telegraph pole or jump to safety down a 20-foot embarkiflent; and then—thci*e’s several thousands who were not satisfied with 55 miles per hour while en route to some place where they could catch up with their sitting down. already reaching down so far they are tickling the shoulder blades, and what’s more—I ^aw a woman the other day wearing cne of those little smelling bags that were so popular back yon der when they had corsets to lodge in. abouT Jimmie Durante, comedian. Durante, who used to play the piano for a singing waiter named Eddie Can tor, is known far and wide as Schnoz- zle, because of his de Bergerac nose. He Is, perhaps, sensitive. At any rate, rather than have people laugh at him, he expends tons of energy in making them laugh with him. He was playing golf one day, out on Long Island. Part of the course lay alongside a railroad track, near a sta tion. A crowded passenger train had pulled in, just as Durante was get ting ready for a tee shot Decidedly nervous. Durante was the last of a foursome to drive. He took a terrific swing, and missed the ball entirely. Without a word he started down the fairway. His companions called to him: “Hey, you missed the ball !** Durante gestured for them to pipe down: “I know It.” he said, guardedly, “but look at all of those people In the train watching me. They don’t know It” • • • Acid Air , Chemical properties In New York atmosphere are hard on woodwork. It has been found after an examination of the steeple of SL Paul’s church on lower Broadway. The church Is 135 years old, and In excellent condition, but the wooden steeple has been eaten away. Scientists Insist that It la chem icals that have done It, for the steeple has received as much care as any old Colonial mansion, many of which look as good as new. The old steeple Is being demolished and will be replaced by one made of metal, colored to re semble the original.

Reno, Nev.—No. 9, the fast mall train of the Southern Pacific, was made a monkey of when it rushed through eastern Nevada, according to train men going through here.

When the train reached Lakeside tl>ere were only 13 monkeys in the cage, while the four teenth, not satisfied with the manner in which the train was proceeding, was out doing its best to help. The monkey scampered over cars add under cars and the 60-mile-an- hour rate of speed mantained by the train had no terror for the animal. For 200 mlleq the monkey played tag with the train;jcrew.
