Taking Radical Advice
Spain’t Sudden Change
Rejoice and Be Glad
Good in Evil
In troubled times like these It Is
Important to give radical advice care
fully. A railroad president, with the
best of Intentions, emphasized the pub
lic's duty to the unemployed, adding
casually: “I’d steal before I’d starve.”
When Wallace F. Mitchell was
picked up dead with a bullet In him,
a newspaper clipping of that state
ment was found In bis pocket. He
hud some hungry children, took the
suggestion literally, and was shot
dead while trying to steal a bottle of
milk from a grocery atore In Phila
delphia.
A thought, harmless In the mouth
of a philosopher or a railroad presi
dent, may be dangerous when taken
too literally by a little man.
Spain lias abolished the death pen
alty; the maximum term of imprison
ment twenty years, no life Imprison
ment. Also, new In Spain, unfaithful
husbands and wives are to be pun
ished equally, no favors for the bus
bauds.
This ending of the death penalty la
all the more striking because Spain
through the centuries has specialized
In the infliction of death, with thou
sands burned and tortured, for relig
ious disbelief, death Inflicted on alight
provocation.
If you speculate In stocks, rejoice
and be exceedingly glud. for In Au
gust the total value of listed stocks
Increased on paper by more than seven
thousand million dollars.
However, that didn’t put the eleven
millions Idle back to work. An In
crease of seven thousand million dol
lars in stock values Is pi on stint Not
so pleasant Is the fact that Idleuoss of
eleven million men costs this country
more than thirty-six thousand millions
a year In lost wages. The rise In
stocks reminds you of the pretty inu
' ale that Nero la supposed to have
played while Rome burned.
“There Is good In all evil,” and good
will come from this depression.
Even the dullest exploiters of their
fellow men begin to realize that hu
man working hours and days must di
minish, as machine eltlclency Increases.
The shorter working week and day
will be one of the depression’s prod
ucts. And many that have crowded
Into hot, unnatural cities will escape
to the country before the depression
ends, and always stay there, which
will be a blessing for their children.
Money Is queer. Wise finance tells
you It all depends on how much gold
you have back of your money. How
do they explain the fact that In Can
ada an American changing a United
States twenty-dollar gold piece gets
only $17.00 In United States one-dollar
bills, whereas for twenty of those one
dollar bills he can get $22.40 In United
States gold coin? Try to figure that
out.
In London, Mayor Cermak of Chi
cago, annoyed by Britishers talking
about ’’Chicago crime," reminds them
that they have 22,000 policemen In
London. And “if Chicago had that
many cops I could clear the city of
every criminal." The mayor would
do It, of course, If he could, but pos
sibly he couldn’t.
Dr. Benjamin Goldberg tolls the
American Congress of Physical Ther
apy that our depression has Improved
the health of the people, but has cut
down the birthrate.
Insurance companies say “the
masses” are learning more about birth
control and practicing It Health Is
improved, perhaps, by the fact that
there Is less bootleg whisky drinking,
and lesa of the overeating that breeds
disease, when times are bad.
A person no less Important than
Rev. Canon J. A. MacCuiloeh says
belief in fairies has a real founda
tion. In glacial tiroes there lived In
Britain a pigmy race, now disap
peared, so small they could have been
called fairies.
Ambassador Mellon says conditions
are better, and recovery has begun,
“slow but sure.” The recovery will
show eventually In general business.
That Is good news. Mr. Mellon
knows something about business,
enough to enable him to extract many
hundred millions of dollars from his
Intelligence, Also, Mr. Mellon Is not
among those that, two or three years
ago, said everything that was all
wrong would be all right In a very
little while.
That this Is a rich country, and
would be happy if it only knew what
to do with Its wealth, how to manage,
how to distribute It. you realize when
you read that New York city pays Its
public employees one million dollars a
day. That is almost as much as It
coat to run the whole government of
the United States In happy old days
before 1014 started our national squan
dering debauch.
New York’s taxpayers, supplying
tbs one million dollars a day, for Jobs
largely political, are not happy about
It. It ought to gratify them to know
that they have so much money, with
something left over for building re
pairs.

Egyptian Monarch Was
First Wheat Dictator
The first recorded wheat dictator
wag Henku, monarch of Egypt, who
apparently considered It his most
worthy claim to fame, having "1 was
lord and overseer of southern grain!”
engraved on his tomb. A study on
food control for forty-six centuries
was made by Mary Q. Lacy, librarian
of the United States Department of
Agriculture, and this Is the most an
cient deed of price fixing which she
unearthed from the musty tomes.
The story of the pharaoh and hi*
treasurer Joseph, who ran the flrgt re
corded wheat corner, Is known to all
Bible readers, but he was In 1700 B. C.,
centuries later than Henku. The
Egyptian method of control was by the
monarch owning ail the land, similar
to the government ownership In the
Soviet union today.
China aa early as 1122 B. a had a
system of crop and price control, chief
ly concerned with rice. The govern
ment bought the surplus after Inspect
ing each field and deciding how nfah
each farmer might keep. It bought at
a normal price In surplus years and
■old at the same price In short years,
protecting the farmer In one and the
consumer in the other.
Place of Tragic Memory
The Black Hole of Calcutta la the j
popular name of a cell In Fort Wil
liam, Calcutta, formerly used as the
guard room.
On the night of June 10, 1786, the
season when the tropical heat of Cal
cutta la most oppressive, SuraJ-ud
Dowlah. the nineteen-year-old nabob
of Bengal, who had broken with the
British authorities, thrust 140 em
ployees of the British India company
Into this cell, a room 18 feet long by
14 feet, 10 Inches wide. It had but
two small windows covered with Iron
bars and obstructed by a veranda.
The heat and lack of air killed 123 of
them before morning.
The site of this cell Is now covered
with a black marble slab, and the
event Is commemorated Hy a monu
mental shaft erected in 1902.

heat and humidity and hectic
is iced coffee. Particularly does it
appeal to those who must have their
hot coffee every day in
weather but to whom the steal
beverage does not appeal after s*n

Iced coffee has many advantages
to recommend it to the wa.m and
thirsty drinker. It is easily prepared
and inexpensive, costing less than a
cent a glass to make. With sugar and
cream added, it has a really nourishing
value in addition to the tonic prop

Great Land Purchase
The Louisiana Purchase was the first
territory acquired by the United
States. It was purchased from France
m 1S03 and comprised the Mississippi
Tver’s west side drainage basin, ex
cept that part held by Spain. It ex
tended from Canada to the Gulf of
Mexico and included areas now occu
pied by Louisiana, Arkansas, Okla
fioma. Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebras
ka. the Dakotas, Montana, most of
Minnesota and portions of Colorado and
Wyoming. The United States took
formal possession of the Louisiana
, Purchase regions on March 10, 1804.
and congress divided It Into two parts
—the territory of Orleans (later the
state of Louisiana), and Ihe territory
of Louisiana.
From Popular Opera
Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote the music
to “Hall, Hail, the Gang’s All Here.”
It was taken from the Gilbert and Sul
livan operatta, “The Pirates of Pen
zance.” The melody used occurs In
act 2, song 12—Samuel and chorus of
pirates—beginning, “Come, friends,
who plough the sea," etc. This mel
ody is exactly as It was written in the
operetta, but begins In the middle of
the chorus. Theodore Morse made a
slight change In the notes at the end
of the present arrangement.
Submerged Lend Charted
Georges Bank, a 200-mile neck of
submerged land which identifies a pop
ular fishing area off Cape Cod, was
part of the American continent 25,000
years ago, In the opinion of United
States coast and geodetic surveyors.
The submerged land has several hills
that come almost to the surface and
are a constant menace to navigation.
For this reason the surveyors charted
the strip. The survey revealed sev
eral submurirte valleys, width may
have been river beds.
It should Saw? be served immediately,
t*<K cer ice in tall glasses,
*ith powdered sugar and cream added
to taste.
A good way to have constant thirst
insurance is .« prepare a quantity of
coffee for tL iced beverage and keep
it m the rVVigerator in an air-tight
portion container for ur>ii needed. The best pro-1
hhJi an infusion is a pound
of coffee to are quart of water, which
is a basic sa-asurement of one ounce
of coffee to two ounces of water,
Maxime Hvgnet, famous chef of the
Benjamin Fz*nk/.n Hotel in Phila
delphaa, offeev an excellent recipe for
coffee frappe, tolug this infusion,
Four tablrvoos .1 of the infusion,
four tabfespocn: of powdered sugar,
one and oae-itiif cupfuls of 25 per
cent cream, one aud one-half cupfuls
of miii: and tvw v–r yoBci. The ingre
dients should be. mixed thoroughly
with ice, preS»-fWr in i shaker, and
the drink oenm4 Iwwdiately.
