First publication November 9, 1022 4t PLEASED THE "MONEY BAGS" European Capitalist* Listened With Pleasure to Accounts of Rocke feller's Stupendous Wealth. During my stay In London I ac cepted an invitation to have luncheon with Lord Kothschild at his office, John Hays Hammond writes in Scrlbner's. It had been my custom, extending over a period of many years, to drop in Informally and have luncheon with the Rothschilds once or twice during each of my frequent visits to London. On these occasions always the most interesting topic of conversation was my estimate of the wealth of Rocke feller and other rich Americans. Lord Rothschild Invariably introduced the subject and forewarned, I was ready to glve.: him the desired thrill. He would usually start with some "piker" capitalist, whose wealth did not amount to more than the paltry sum of $100,000,000, and then worked up by queries until he reached the Ameri can Croesusr John D. Rockefeller. It would be an unpatriotic American who would belittle the wealth of a com patriot at a time like this, and after having modestly admitted, in reply to Lord Rothschild's question, that Rocke feller was certainly worth $500,000, 000, assuming an air of ultra-conserva tism, I would allow him to extort what was to him a delectable fact that Rock efeller was worth at least $750, 000,000 and when the money bags around the table stared at me with an expression of pleased surprise, but not of doubt, I would in subdued tone convey to them the fact that in informed financial circles of Amer ica the Rockefellers' wealth was esti mated at over $1,000,000,000! The in ternationalism of the Rothschild fam ily, and the utter lack .of envy, is evidenced in the unmistakable pleas ure which characterized the reception of this titbit of high finance. BIRDS STILL FAR SUPERIOR Man's "Conquest of the Air" Seems to Be Thing of the Far Dis tant Future. Aviators fly 1,200 miles with two stops flor fuel, and the world applauds the deed. Other aviators actually cross the Atlantic—at its narrowest point, some 1,600 miles wide—and the fact stands still unrivaled by a heavier than-alr machine. But out on the Pacific, an albatross followed a steamer for six days and sevfn nights without alighting. In this time, the ship traveled nearly 3, 000 miles, and the bird, with the cir cllngs, at least as far. Then, with the nearest land 1,900 miles away, the bird swallowed a greedy meal of food thrown over for it, turned abruptly, and disappeared. Human aviation is a long, long way from having achieved that measure of endurance. It will come—probably— but It is not even In sight yet. In speed, the race between man and bird is close already, and victory in the end Is sure to go to the former. As for altitude, the airplane has out climbed even the condor. But in the supreme test of endurance, of the abil ity- to fly and fly and keep on flying, man is ridiculously Inferior. Man's Salvation. "Now '.he.v :uv advocating a fixed pay for married women."

Can't let you have more than two-fifty on this," said old Isaacsteln, examining the trinket. "Say," he continued, "I've got a lot of your stuff in my safe. Dad out of work?" Delia's lip quivered. "Dad's dead," she answered. "Ain't you got no brothers?" Isaac stein queried. "I had—one. He's dead," whispered Delia. Taking the small sum which isaac steln paid over the counter, she al most ran out of the pawnshop, forget ting the ticket altogether. She was glad she had not told him that her brother died in the war. That was a memory she treasured—Tom Flanagan's heroic exploit in rescuing a wounded comrade at the cost of his own life. The little pension did not go far, and Mrs. Flanagan had been ill for a long time. Delia had to stay home to care for the paralyzed woman. "Ten dollars," she told her mother. But afterward she stood aghast, won dering what they were going to do. She paid another visit to Isaacsteln, and the old pawnbroker looked up at her through his glasses as she handed a little packet across the counter. "Dad's?" he asked, examining the two medals with their particolored ribbons. "My brother's," answered Delia. "He —he died." Old Isaacstein took the medals to the light. "I'll let you have five dollars on them," he announced. "They ain't worth that but—well, I got a boy who was In the war too. He's coming home on a visit tomorrow. Swell feller he is, and got a fine job with the elec tric works. You ain't working?" he continued. Delia explained about her mother. Mr. Isaacsteln seemed to weigh the matter. "I could use a girl to help with the books at night," he said finally. "It'd be worth ten a week to me. You see, I'm short-banded, having no one to help out. If you cared to consider—" When Delia had gone he stared after her little figure. "That's tough," said old Isaacstein. "I guess if I'd given her back those medals she'd have took 'em somewhere else and never got 'em back." Delia came to work the following evening, and found a husky young man in the back parlbr. "You don't mind me?" he asked wiyi a smile. "I'm only home on a visit." "Not at all," said Delia politely. He showed her the bookkeeping, having himself worked in the pawn shop before going through college. They learned a lot about each other during the evenings that followed. "What a pity he's a Jew," reflected Delia, as she made her way homeward a night or two later. "He's—well, he's nice." "Well, suppose she is Irish, Dad?" said Bob to his father. "Nationalities don't cut much ice In America nowa days—at least, they're .not supposed to I wish you'd been at the front, you'd understand better, Dad." he added wistfully. "By the way, 1 never found out what her name was. Flanagan, you say?" He seemed to meditate awhile. "That sure, is Irish," he said pensively. "You're sure you understand now?" he asked Delia next night. "Of course, It Is d'fferent to any other sort of bookkeeping. Dad likes the way you've put them In order, and he was saying he'd like to keep you as long as you'll stay. There'll be more money coming in a little while. I'm leaving for Chi cago in a coupl6 of days. Just been offered a Job there with our firm— managing a new factory. It's some place, they tell me." That was pay day. Delia waited till Bob had gone out and then timidly asked for the medals. Old Isaacstein handed them to her. He told his son about it after. "She had a brother out there?" asked Bob. "Well, I guess that ain't strange," said old Isaacstein. "No. but—some things are," an swered Bob cryptically. Next evening there was a sense of constraint between tbem. Delia would miss Bob when he had gone. When she had finished her work be went to the door with her. "You know, there was something 1 wanted to say before I went away," he began, "but I haven't found the nerve to, on account of—well, if you can guess what it is, you'll know why." "Oh, I know, and—and you mustn't tell me," breathed Delia quickly. Bob nodded. "That's how I felt," he answered, "only—your brother—ex cuse my speaking of him—but I think I knew him out in the Argonne. Very tall, thinnish fellow, wasn't he" Delia's eyes opened wide. "You— you knew Tom?" she stammered. "He saved my life," Bob answered. "It cost him his own. That's the only reason I thought—" Delia's e.es were full of tears. She put her hands in his impulsively. Somehow Bob found his arms around her and then—they both knew that they were Americans, after all. Kindly Consideration. '"Why do you Insist on preventing your daughter from going on the *t:ige?"

According to estimates given out by the American Federation of Labor at that time there were between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 wage-earners out ot em ployment when the Republican ad ministration came into power March 4, 1921. This industrial depression began early In the summer of 1920. The immediate problem before the Re publican party was the return to nor mal conditions. •The underlying cause ot industrial iepression was the prostration of agri culture brought about by the radical curtailment of agricultural credits by the Democratic administration. The American farmer buys 40 per cer'.. of ill manufactured products. His des perate circumstances compelled Indus tries to curtail production and turn tnen into the streets. The Republican Congress immediately restored agri :ulture to a healthy condition. The 'armer entered the market again as a !uyer of manufactured goods. The inks of the unemployed began to lecrease. At the time the coal and railroad strikes were called there was a great demand for laboring men than there was a supply. One of the most Important contrlbut ng factors to the improvement of the memployment situation was the early inactraent by the special session of .he Republican Congress of the re itrictive immigration law. This was lemanded by the laboring people of he United States. Its enactment pre- rented The Republican administration came nto power finding the burden of taxes •ery heavy. The working man had to ear his share. It was essential to u. The activities and accomplishments of the Department of Justice during the past 15 months comprise the most successful record that department has made since its establishment. The largest amount of business in the his tory of that department has been transacted for the current year on less money than Was appropriated for the preceding year. A veritable avalanche of business was clogging the dockets in nearly every tJnited States District Court and new cases being entered in unprecedented numbers when Attorney General Daugherty took charge of the Depart ment ot Justice March 4, 1921. He found the department disorganized, it was necessary to make a survey not only of his own force but of the vari ous cases pending in the several Unit ed States Courts throughout the coun try. This gigantic task was acom plished with thoroughness and dis patch. Early in his incumbency Attorney General Daugherty began an Investiga tion of the so-called War Fraud cases. After he had thoroughly surveyed the situation and he and his staff were ready to proceed he asked for an ap propriation of half a million dollars to enable him to employ additional and competent special attorneys to con duct the actual work of grand jury in vestigation and prosecution. The men whom he selected for this task are skilled lawyers: Former Senator Charles S. Thomas, of Colorado, a eniocrat who was conspicuous ln the Senate investigation of the aircraft scandal former Congressman C. F. Reavis, of Nebraska, .who was a mem ber of the House Commltte which in vestigated the expenditures of the '.Var Department former Congress man R. D. MacCullough, of Ohio, also a member of that Committee, and Mr. Meier Steinbrink, of New York, who assisted Charles E. Hughes in the famous aircraft inquiry of 1918, and ivho was also employed as Special Jounsel for the House Committee on nvestigating war expenditures. It is Takes Sabbatical Year. In California county agricultural agents have the rank of assistant pro-, lessors ln the state university and are entitled to all the rights and priv ileges of the'resident teaching force. One county ggent who has now served eight years in his present po sition has been granted sabbatical leave, which he will spend in Europe studying rural co-operation. This is the first time in the history ot the work that such recognition has been given a county agent. THE HOPE PIONEER the incoming of hundreds of housands of immigrants who would raly have increased the ranks of the tnemployed and added to the indus rial distress. The previous Republi an Congress had passed a similar law ut it was vetoed by President Wilson.

These exemptions embrace practically all those on a wage or salary, it Includes over 4 000,000 heads of families in ordinary circumstances. In addition, the new1 tax law repealed altogether the nuisance" taxes which working me: had to pay on everything everywhere for everything they bought. It also repealed all transportation taxes which were levied on all goods shipped by freight or express or parcel post. Such taxes were added to the ultimate cost of goods and, In the long run, were paid by the working men. All told, the new tax bill lifted from the shoulders of the working classes oi this country over $800,000,000 a year. According to a report Issued by the U. S. Department of Labor June, 1922, the retail cost of living was gradually reduced from March, 1921, to the time the report was issued. The living costs in no other nation in the world were reduced during this same time. The sum and total of one year of Harding's administration, so far as ii affects the working people, has been the elimination of the problem of un employment except In those industries affected by strikes reduction of taxe paid by the working classes in a sun aggregating nearly a billion dollars the restriction of immigration a sen eral program of lessened public ex penditures which insures still further reductions in taxes an Increase of lf per cent, in the value of Liberty bonds, millions of which are held by wage earners and mer tin pi grad in -o«tf. safe to say no staff could have been selected who were better qualified by their legal attainments and by their particular experience and knowledge of the war graft situation. Never In the history of the Depart ment of Justice have the anti-trust laws been so vigorously prosecuted as during the last 15 months. For the first time jail sentences were imposed as a punishment for violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act in the case of United States vs. Alexander Reed, et al. The department at this time has under investigation more than 50 cases of alleged violations of the An ti-Trust Act and has pending in the courts 26 such cases. Since March 4, 1921, the Attorney General's of fice has won 109 cases in the United States Supreme Court and lost 41. In that time it has tried 166 suits in the various United States Courts and won 110. The department has been very successful in defending the gov ernment in the United States Court of Claims where litigation has greatly increased as a result of war con tracts and tax cases. Twenty suits were decided in this court on June 12, in which the Attorney General's department appeared for the govern ment. In these 20 cases the govern ment sued for the aggregate of $16, I 619,693. The total of the amounts allowed was only $533,365. This, in brief, is an outline of some of the more important activities of the Department of Justice since March 4, 1921. An enormous amount of work has been performed and every branch of the judicial service is character ized by energy, Intelligence and dis patch. The record of the department under the present administration not only reflects great credit upon Attor ney General Daugherty and President Harding, but it inspires confidence and respect of our people everywhere in the courts and in those in whom the responsibility and power of ad ministering the law Is invested. It will remind our people that this is a government ot laws and not of men. Girl, Fourteen, Is Six Feet Tali.

I New York has four square miles of' sanitary districts with over 250,000 population per square mile. The New York city 1920 census committee, Dr. Walter Laidlow, executive secretary, has issued the following statement: "The permanent map for the taking and tabulating of the population of New York on which the census of 1920 was enumerated has 3,427 sanitary dis trict areas. Sixty-six of these in 1910 whose acreage totaled 2,860 then had a population of 1,298,657, an average of 453 persons per acre. If the whole area of New York in 1910 had been popu lated as densely as these 2,866 acres the equivalent of the whole population of the United States, and then some, as in 1910, could have been packed within the limits of Greater New Yuk." This number of persons per acre in congested districts is now reduced to 302, the statement adds. Of Archeological Interest.
