The Real Lesson in the Morgan Case
That sheaf of letters and telegrams received by
Senator Carter Glass, denouncing him as a “crook and
defender of racketeers,” represents the flying spray from
a mounting tidal wave of public indignation over the
Morgan disclosures.
When a man of Senator Glass’s standing can receive
such letters, it is pretty obvious that the waters are get
ting rather turbulent, and the rising of the wave brings
to our public men two chances to make disastrous mistakes.
They can, first of all, fail to recognize the wave’s
force—in which case, if they let themselves get in its way,
they are apt to get thoroughly soaked.
Secondly, they can fail to guide it into a useful chan
nel, letting it, instead, dash itself out impotently on the
beach in a fine smother of harmless foam.
There isn’t much danger that the first mistake will
be made. Even the blindest of men must realize that
these Morgan revelations have stirred the country as it
has not been stirred in years. The real danger is that this
fine force of public anger will be permitted to dissipate
itself uselessly, so that when the tumult subsides things
will go on pretty much as they did before.
That is the mistake that is apt to be made if we let
ourselves grow unduly indignant at Mr. Morgan per
sonally.
This investigation is not, fundamentally, an attempt
to uncover rascally; it is not an attempt to ferret out those
whom Theodore Roosevelt used to call “malefactors of
great wealth” and throw them in jail. If its only result
is to make us demand that some man should go to prison
and that another man should resign his office, then it will
all be wasted effort.
Its true value is that it is revealing a tremendous and
powerful invisible government by “insiders” who are free
from public control, who make their own rules and render
their accounts to auditors of their own choosing.
The real villain in the piece is a system and not a set
of individuals. If the tidal wave of public indignaton can
be directed against the system, then the Morgan investi
gation may well prove one of the most valuable under
takings the congress has ever tackled.
Dangerous Old Autos
The report on automobile accidents during the first
four months of 1933, just issued by statisticians for a
leading insurance company, contains one rather signifi
cant little disclosure. Wrile the total number of deaths de
creased about 10 per cent from the number of the same
period in 1932, the number of defective cars involved in
fatal accidents increased by nearly 40 per cent.
This, of course, is a consequence of the depression.
Cars that ought to be retired to the junkyard are still in
service; others which have defective breaks, lights, tires
or steering mechanism are going without the repairs they
need because their owners are pressed for cash.
The man who drives such a car is under heavy re
sponsibility. If he keeps his car’s defects in mind and
makes allowance for them in his driving, everything is
allright; but if he tries to handle an aging and defective
machine as he would a brand-new one he immediately
makes a public menace of himself.
The I
Once Over
Br M. L VBLUFt
DR. ROOSEVELT LOOKS OVER
THE PATIENT AGAIN
Dr. Roosevelt—Well, Uncle, how
does It feel to be sitting up again?
Uncle Sam—I’m a lilttle wobbly j
on my legs, but it’s great to be out
of bed.
Dr. Roosevelt— You still look
pale. Are you all right?
Uncle Sam—I’m all right, but
I’m wondering how I’ll feel two
years from now.
Dr. Roosevelt—Why the misgiv
ings?
Uncle Sam—Since I’ve been sit
ting up the nurse has been telling
me all the things I’d have to do
to regain my strength. She made
me pretty jittery.
Dr. Roosevelt—What did she say?
Uncle Sam—She said something
about my going into business.
Dr. Roosevelt— Yes, we think
making you into a sort of effic
iency expert, production expert,
industrial organizer and general all
around business man will do you
good. Nothing burdensome, you
know. Just a tonic.
Uncle Sam— The nurse said
something about my running a
license bureau, too.
Dr. Roosevelt—Yes, Just to build
you up, we’re going to let you
decide which business men to li
cense. You’ll have complete charge.
Uncle Sam (looking a little
nervous)—I think I'll go back to
bed.
Dr. Roosevelt—Why?
Uncle Sam—I feel a terrible
headache coming on.
Dr. Roosevelt—After what you’ve
been through a headache will seem
like nothing.
* * •
Uncle Sam—What else do you
plan for me while I'm recuperat
ing?
Dr. Roosevelt—Well, we're going
to make you a night and day
watchman and an examiner. We
plan to have you put in a few hours
every day as a sort of censor of
the stock market. No heavy work,
merely a little light exercise.
Uncle Sam—What’ll I do?
Dr. Roosevelt—Oh, nothing much.
Just read and pass on all new
stock flotations. You’ll have to
see that everything is on the level
and that no facts are withheld or
misrepresented. It ought to be ex
cellent for your general health. Very
light work, realty.
• • •
Uncle Sam—Have you prescribed
any otner treatments for me?
Dr. Roosevelt—Yes, you'll do a
mortgage business on the side, reg
ulate things in the oil fields, sort
of watch cut for the farmers and
help run the railroads of the coun
try. Mere child’s play.
Uncle Sam (very weakly)— Is
that all?
Dr. Roosevelt—Twice a day be
tween meals you’ll run Muscle
Shoals and in the afternoon after
lunch you'll do some reforestation.
In .the evening just before retiring
I want you to handle all disputes
in codes of business competition...
Uncle Sam (sagging at the knees)
—Doctor, what’ll I do with my
spare time?
Dr. Rcosevelt—I’m figuring that
out with the professors.

From the polls there comes a

Knocked unconscious, ail the bone—

On the banks of the Wabash far

Well, the Sock Market has turn

_Letter
BY JULIA BLANSHARD
NEW YORK.—New York is feel
ing summer’s call into the open.
The Chatham Hotel has inaugurat
ed a just-like-Paris sidewalk cafe,
only you have to confine yourself
to beer. The Mayfair Yacht Clut*
(to which you descend in an
elevator from the street) has moved
its tables into the terrace that over
hangs East River, where you eat
under gay awnings and watch the
little boats go by. Broadway, too,
has a couple of sidewalk eating
places in the continental manner.
witn. me trees green and snruo
bery and window boxes in full
bloom, the Casino in Central Park
is a show spot—particularly when
your table is out in the little pa
villion and you can lean back and
gaze up at the glass roof over
which water trickles constantly, a
neat way of keeping the place cool
.The Waldorf - Astoria starlit
roof garden is rolling its ceiling
back these nights, when it doesn't
rain, to show the real Heavens
above....So is the Embassy Club,
which, incidentally has the largest
floor of any open air night club.
Also a spectacular round bar and
Helen Morgan sitting atop the
piano_
And down in the Village, every
little tea-room with ten square
feet of backyard, has rigged up
some kind of a “garden,” where
you can eat al fresco—if you get
there first.

Jimmy’s Not Broke Yet
Ex-Mayor Walker, allegedly al
most broke, apparently has forgot
ten that he has $500 in this coun
try that his creditors can’t ge.t He
took out a bond for Betty Comp
ton two years ago, to get her into
the country from Canada, with
the Union Indemnity. Any time
the Mayor or his wife wants to,
they can get the money back. But
they apparently have forgotten
all about iti

How Money Goes!
J. P. Morgan has a horror of fast
auto driving. He practically never
goes anywhere except in his own
car, driven by his own chauffeurs
-Starting out one day last sum
mer with a friend the financial
giant got the jitters over the spead
the friend’s chauffeur was mak
ing. Finally, he stopped at the first
telephone, had the friend’s chauf
feur phone for his own car, and
waited and kept his friend waiting
until his car arrived_Then they
followed the other car.... This
near-phobia about possible collis
ions is what makes him prefer the
water to land, since traffic prob
lems at sea are simple, compared
to New York and its environs.

Who’s Superstitious?
Every man is entitled to one
superstition, the late David Belasco
used to say. His was having some
one look into a mirror over his
shoulder. If such a dread accident
happened, Belasco was so sure
that it meant bad luck all day
that he would can^ai ^1 invfortant
engagements for the next 24 hours,
take the day off and go to bed
early to try to sleep off the bad
luck—Edna St. Vincent Millay
never goes back to the house for
something she has forgotten with
out sitting down for a second. That
is supposed to break the bad luck
she otherwise would have...Janet
Gaynor always puts on her right
shoe first....George Creel insists
that only the ignorant or stupid
are superstitious these days. “But,"
says George, “I do think spilling
salt is dangerous. And I’m sure if
I ever touched a toad I’d have
warts all over my hands. And, if
a dog ever bit me, I’d be sure it
was a mad dog and I’d have the
rabies”_ Katherine Brush Is
convinced that if she didn’t pick
her titles before she started out
lining a plot, she’d n<ver write a
story. And she must always put
her by-line right under the typed
title, before she can write the first
word of the story, or it won’t sell!
with the problem of feeding an
infant is constantly between the
Scylla of overfeeding and the
Charybdis of underfeeding.
In recent years, more has been
written against overfeeding than
against underfeeding. There seems
to be no question but that over
feeding, particularly of milk, may
lead to failure to gain in weight
and difficulties of digestion, par
ticularly when the milk has not
been properly modified by the
addition of sufficient sugar. If the
proper balance is maintained be
tween the amounts of sugar and
protein in the mixture and the
total amount of material fed, this
condition will not develop.
The average infant requires
about 11-2 ounces cf milk for each
pound of body weight. It is well,
however, to bear in mind that no
two infants are exactly alike, and

generalize greatly.
• • •
In a recent survey Dr. George J.
Feldstein points out that the dis
orders resulting from underfeeding
are likely to come on insidiously,
and therefore parents may not
notice these disorders until the
symptoms are serious.
When a child fails to gain
weight satisfactorily, there is not
only a failure to grow, but there
is a likelihood of some consumo
tion of its own body tissues to
make up for the deficiencies in its
diet. It is for this reason partic
ularly that infants must be suf
ficiently fed.
The child requires material not
only for energy, but also for
growth. If an infant is not get
ting sufficient food, it is likely
to be restless and to cry after
each feeding. If it is quite weak,
it may even be apathetic and. fail
to cry. Associated with insuffi
cient food, there is usually
diarrhea, as well as symptoms of
colic, vomiting, and the formation
of gas.
Whenever such symptoms occur
in an infant and there is continued
loss of weight, the mother will do
well to consult a doctor and gat
suitable information as to proper
diet. • •
Children who have not been suf
ficiently fed are especially
to infections and sickness because
mulnutriiion makes them im»su
to resist conditions which more
satisfactorily fed children are able
to overcome.
In the case of older children,
underfeeding may be due to the
desire of the child to get to schxtl
on time, to hurry out to play, or
to a general lack of appetite *e
cause of failure of the food to ap
peal to its wants and desires.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XLV
OING down into the neat little
parlor Monnie was abruptly
conscious of the room’s shabbiness.
The rug had long since faded, Its
bright, original pattern lost. They
nad bought the couch in the corner
che year T''.ddy died and somehow,
since, there had never been enough
money to recover It. There was a
worn place on one of the cushions.
The. curtains were spotless, like
everything else in Mrp. O’Dare's
home, but they had quite obviously
been patched and darned. There
were scuffed marks—the sort small,
sturdy shoes make—on all the
chairs and on the upright piano.
How shabby. Monnie thought
with a pang, all this would look to
the urban eyes of her distinguished
visitor. Ah, but she could change
all this in the twinkling of an eye
if only she wanted to! No longer
need her mother ruin her eyes over
fine mending, prolonging the life
of damask and wool. No longer
need the table be set with cracked,
chipped china. The O’Dares could
have silver and fine linen. Her
mother could have luxury beyond
her brightest dreams. Monnie con
sidered that she had known the
wildness and despair of first iove
and It bad brought her nothing.
Arthur Mackenzie would bring her
the calm, assured devotion of mid
dle age. Along with this he could
offer her security and assurance.
These thoughts raced through
Monnie’s mind as. before the mir
ror in the hall, she touched her
hair nervously, smoothed her frock.
“What are you thinking of?” Kay
asked.
Monnie made a sweeping gesture.
“Wondering what he’ll think of—
all this.”
“Won’t like it?”
“Won’t—?” Monnie wrinkled her
nose. “I don’t much care whether
he does or rot. I was thinking how
dull this place must be for Mother.
She knows every worn place in the
rug, every scratch on the furniture.
I was wishing I could make a clean
sweep of it all, get her new things.’’
• • •
*6TYYE kB0W’" Kay interrupted
with an air of sagacity, “1
don’t believe she minds so much—
not as we do. Every bit of it—the
shabbiness 1 mean—is home to
Mother. We’re always going about,
seeing other people’s things and
beir*g enviour. But she never com
plains."
“Just the same I d like to be able
to get her new things." said Mon
*>ie sturdily "And someone to oelp ,
I
her—to wash dishes and do the'
heavy part of the cleaning. She
must have washed millions of
dishes in the last 10 years."
"Not for me!” yawned Kay lastly.
‘T never mean to wash any. When
I’m an old maid I shall live in one
room—a studio—and have a maid
in a gray uniform to wait on me.”
"That would be nice,” Monnie
agreed dreamily, straightening a
picture. “Where is Mums, by the
way?”
"She ran across to Mrs. Cox’s,
with some broth. Della is sick with
flu or something.”
"I wish she’d rest once in a
while,” Monnie complained. “She
never stops. It worries me.”
"She doesn’t want to," Kay told
her older sister. “She loves doing
the things she does.”
"I guess you’re right. But I want
her life to be easier, just the same,”
Monnie persisted.
Kay sprang to attention at the
sound of the belL "Guess that’s
your man.”
"Don’t run away, please!” Mon
nie besought "I’ll feel such a fool.
Answer the door like a good girl.”
Kay complied, looking, in her
blue frock, like a modern angel
with a halo of fair curls. Kay had
charming manners, Monnie re
flected, listening to her sister’s
fluty voice in greeting. Yes, Kay
had a great deal of promise. Un
less Monnie did something about it,
though, her sister would be buried
forever in this small place. There
were all sorts of reasons for Mon
nie to accept Arthur Mackenzie.
And no obstacles. Wouldn’t It
seem idiocy now for her to refuse
him? If he still wanted her. of
course.
In an instant he was before her,
dominating the small room, bigger
than she remembered him, impres
sive in his big coat with the scent
of damp tweed and good Russian
leather clinging to him.
"Well! Well!"

TITONNIE was laughing, finding
she had nothing to say, a trifle
shy with the great man. Was It
possible she had been so casual
with him in London? All that
seemed ages ago and she herself
at that time another glrL
“But you look splendid!"
“Thank you." He made her feel
small and childish.
He would not let Kay take his
coat—nonsense. It could go right
there on the hall tree. It was a
wretched night. He had a car wait
ing. He was driving on to Cincin
nati. He would take a plane the
day following on his way west.
Monnie said shyly that she waa
sorry she couldn’t Invite him to
stop with them. Without seeming
to, his shrewd glance took in the
little bouse. That was kind, be
said, but he’d planned to go on.
This must be the western hospital
ity he’d heard so much about.
Kay drifted away with a mur
mured excuse after a moment or
two and Monnie heard the click of
her mother’s key In the lock. Mrs.
O'Dare would slip upstairs to
freshen her costume and brush her
soft graying hair before presenting
nerself to the visitor.
They made small talk. Mackenzie
seemed interested in everything.
What was Monnie doing? Ah. that
sounded good! Did she like her
new work? And her brother—the
older one? What about him? This
little sister was a beauty, wasn't
she?
Everyone thought so, Monnie
agreed, kindling at hii praise. Kay
had thought of going on th« stag*
she added, but just now she seemed
perfectly happy, working oe the
local newspaper. Insisted on con
tributing her share to the family
income, too.
“She’d make a sensation in New
York,” Mackenzie said enthusiasti
cally. “With the right gowns. And
she should have her hair done by
Antoine. She has a rare quality."
Monnie turned at the taint rustle
In the doorway. “My mother." ah*
introduced proudly. Mackenzie^
springing to his feet, bowed lew.
One might, thought Monnte. JhflT
heart swelling, be ashamed of tub
scuffed chairs and threadbare car
pet but anyone In the world would
be proud of a mother like that.
Character was molded on the very
bones of the fine face. The eyee
were beautiful, although they bed
lost the sparkle of youth. "Mothm
wouldn’t bo one bit different, be
satins,” the girl reflected loyally,
listening to the pleasant voles.
“But I want her to have them Jest
the same."
• • •
COON they were atone together
and the man turned toward her.
“I like them all," he told her
swiftly. "They’re great, your peo
ple. Just what one might e*pect."
“Thank you.” She flushed at Me
honest admiration.
”Monnle, I haven’t long to sto*
I must settle this business quickly.
Do you know what I’ve come tor?"
That was a hard question to an
swer, in all simplicity, but her eyee
were eloquent.
“Have you thought It oesr, deer?
I hate to rush you but It eeema be
me I've been waiting a long tlm*
What have you to say to me?"
She lifted her head. The words
were trembled on the ftp of her
tongue but just then there wee an
interruption in the form of a long
peal at the belL Sounds from the
kitchen regions indicated Kay and
the mother were busy with domes
tic duties and had not beard the
sound. .
“I’ll go." Monnle said swiftly,
somehow glad of ths respits.
She hastened to the door, mak
ing a pretty picture In her swirling
frock, her cheeks rosy, her eye*
alight with excitement. To her
amazement. Charles Eustace steod
on the threshold.
“May I come in for a moment.
Monica?" He was looking very
handsome. “I want to talk to you."
What could she say? What could
she do? He had never been refused
admittance at this hospitable door
before. Monnie opened it wide *~1
he followed her into the room
where Mackensle. lounging against
the mantelpiece, examined eomt
old photographs.
“I’m sorry. I didn't know yon
had a guest." Charles' tone was
steely, polite. But Monica, having
brought him thus far, had to go on.
In a cool voice she introduced Urn
men. “Mr. Mackensle, Mr. Eun
tace.”
Mackenzie turned, recognition
dawning in his tace. his annoyance
for the moment in abeyance.
“How do you do. But we’ve met
before!"
Charles acknowledged the sen
tence with an ironic bow.
“Whatever shall 1 do with them
both?” the girl asked herself d»
spairingly. “Everything la spoiled
now. Charles hates me for having
Arthur here—not that It matters!
Tomorrow he’ll know ths truth!*
