That is a strange place tc come upon that which is lovable and praiseworthy—but it has been done. In this particular case the mar seems to have purchased a six-story apartment house for the express pur pose of giving expression to his kind ly program. He has 100 apartments, but will not charge more than $35 a month for any one of them. He will not rent to a family without children and he pays a bonus for visits of the stork. When he took possession he offered a prize of $100 a year for twenty years to the first boy baby born in his building. There was a like premium of $50 a year for the first girl. Both of these awards have already been claimed and made. Furthermore, this landlord provides a garage for baby cabs and play grounds and playrooms for the chil dren. There is a kindergarten in connection with the apartments, and hospital or medical service is avail able for the tenants almost without price. There is a Boy Scout camp on the premises and the young folks are given every opportunity to im prove as well as enjoy themselves. Subscribe to The Weekly News Review. $1.00 a year. Washington.—A letter from Au gust A. Busch, president of the An heuser-Busch Company of St. Louis, calling the United States the great est bootlegger in the world because 1'quor is sold on Shipping Board ves- >e!s outside the three mile limit, was sent to President Harding. That letter with its exhibits of wine lists and a similar list from he United States Line steamer Presi dent Pierce, presented by Represent- Aives Callivan, Democrat, of Massa chusetts, has blown the lid off a situation thus far kept quiet in the nterests of the American Merchant Marine. Today everybody is out with state ments. In a letter to Adolphus Busch, son if August, Chairman Lasker of the pipping Board, declares the brewer s “thoroughly selfish” and does not ‘come before the bar of public opin- on with clean hands.” Mr. Lasker asserts the lawfulness >f the practice and expresses the >pinion that dry American passen- ers cannot compete with wet foreign liners. He is backed up with a formidable legal opinion from Gen cral Counsel Schlessinger showing that for the purpose of this contro- •orsy American ships are not “terri tory subject to the jurisdiction be yond the three-mile limit.” Presumably, as showing the accu racy of the reasoning, Mr. Lasker de clares Adolphus Busch’s grandfather, founder of the brewing company, was the kaiser’s closest friend in Ameri ca and maintained a castle in Ger many. Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti-Sa loon League, joins in the denuncia tion of the Anheuser-Busch effort as simply seeking to discredit prohibi tion and create sentiment for the sale of beer—which it is, of course. He suggests to the Shipping Board that the Supreme Court’s recent decision should be interpreted as barring the ports of the United States to anj /essel carrying liquor, under seal oi otherwise, and thereby the board would be relieved of the competitior '.hat compelled it to keep the steamei bars open. Prohibition Commissioner Hayne? diplomatically refers to a conflict ir opinion as to whether the Volstead Act applied to American vessels ol the high seas, but bravely states a; soon as the Department of Justict and the courts have cleared awa^ the dispute he will enforce the lav to the limit.

Philanthropic Air About Studebaker (By S. S. Fountaine) Studebaker stirred the imagination of the traders again and took the market leadership with a snap-the-, whip whirl that threw the other ring leaders off their feet. There has not been a manipulation with such mastery since the great Bethlehem campaign that enabled some of the insiders, who had been waiting more than a decade for a chance to con vert their holdings into ready cash, to benevolently distribute a substan tial portion of them to the gentle public. There is not much doubt that some of the Studebaker philanthropists may be induced to part with their precious certificates around these prices without great persuasion, even if they might be accused of depart ing from their well known conserva tism in so far as to approve the de claration of an extra dividend of $5 a share on the stock. The industrial progenitors of the Studebaker Motor Car learned nearly a century ago out South Bend way that the best business policy was to give a dollar in old hickory value :'or every dollar they took in. “How’s your Studebaker standing xp?” Si would ask Seth on County 3ourt day. “Like a lightning rod,” came the xnswer. And both were propd to joost their wagons, built of seasoned >ak and hickory—not kiln dried like he Cincinnati “sidebars”, a poor :ompetitor. But times have changed and the ^tudebakers are specializing on mo tors. They are making a fine car. ■t.
