Y’OUR a FTER following the sea forty-six years, in LIFE /\ which he “sailed” a total of 2,500,000 miles, DULL? A \ Capt. Anthony Cadogan retires. His last ocean trip was from Buenos Aires to New York. A great sea name. Anthony Cadogan. And a wonderful career that will be envied by nearly all of us who are chained to a dull humdrum existence. Captain Cadogan has friends in every country in the world. He crossed the equator 320 times. He has seen many startling changes in ships since he put to sea in 1877, and equally startling changes in the countries he visited. Adventures many, including capture by the German raider Karlsruhe in 1916. Captain Cadogan retires to his home near New York City. He will not find life dull, for he will live chiefly in memories. Why is it, that the other fellow gets the romance and adventures of life, while most of us get only a monotonous grind? A few years after Captain Cadogan made his first trip at sea on the full-rigged ship Lord Canning, a young fellow running a bicycle repair shop was tinkering with a gasoline engine, trying to make it operate a “horseless carriage.” That young fellow was Henry Ford. Recently he has beeu turning out finished ears at the rate of one every four seconds. The Wall Street Journal inspects Ford’s business report for the twelve months ended last Feb. 28, and figures that he made a profit of $55 on each ear. How would you like to have $55 dropping into your lap every four seconds? Captain Cadogan. contemplating Ford, will agree that in many ways Henry has the most interesting life of any landlubber. Captain Cadogan can have his ocean and Henry Ford can have his $55 every four seconds, as far as Farren Zerbe is concerned. For Zerbe, world-famed coin expert, has the largest coin in existence. It’s a Swedish piece, minted in 1730, weighs nearly seven pounds, is stamped out of copper plate ten inches square. What more could any man want than a collection of rare bits of metal such as this old “daler.” Zerbe probably wonders. Lots of interesting careers in this life, most of us reflect, even if the majority have to watch from the sidelines.

NICKELS iCT BELONG to two golf clubs,” writes a subWORTH I scriber of the Times, “and as I can spare OF GOLF .A. the time for but one game weekly, don’t you think T ought to resign and try something else? Especially as my games are now costing me $6 each. (Signed) Anxious.” Sure, Anxious, resign! You re wasting your time. You’ll never be a golfer in ten thousand holes. Not by a bag full of bogeys. You see, as soon as a golfer begins to count the cost, lie’s done for. Golf isn't like poker, or Mah Jongh, or chess. You play golf for exercise, not to make money! Six dollars a game! Why, we never heard of such fooWhhLiess. You ought to be glad that you’re not too old and fat to -ft around over an eighteen-hole course of a Sunday morning—m;t, then - maybe that’s the trouble. We withdraw all we said, vve’re sorry for you. BORAH’S A TOW comes Bill Borah. Senator from Idaho. PINK IXI with a cure for war. Often sound and meaty PILL JL 1 as anew crop hickorynut, this time we find him jugsrling with soap bubbles and dvnamite. Opposing America’s entry into the world court of justice, which President Harding wants, he offers tis a scheme to “outlaw” war. I The world war > he says, wafc brought on by less than twenty men. So he would “make war a crim ? ,” and “hold those who foment war responsible.” Whoever heard of a nation being in the wrong at the start of a war. Both sides are fighting “for God and our rights’ at the beginning. War is never a crime until it fails. Suppose the plan to “outlaw” war had been in effect in 1914 with the United States a party to it. Would we have dared name the less than twenty men” the Senator now has in mind’ Would we have demanded that these be delivered up to an international firing squad that justice should be done? Maybe so. And then again, maybe not. Had we done so, however, you can bet your last thin dime on this: We would have been in the war a darn sight sooner than we were What people want is something to prevent war—not just a jury to find out who started it or a legal method to bump the guilty off. That won’t start new arms and legs growing in place of those shot off nor make the dead to rise.

Japanese press grows excited about any such matter, that the agitation is favored by the men in powerful position. Doubtless a popular move ment in Japan forms a good back ground for diplomatic action. The Tokio "Yomiyuri,,” discussing the bill tluit failed to pass the last Congress, and may pass the next, which would cut in half the foreign immigration into the United States, would exclude all Japanese, Chinese and low-caste Hindus, remarks that the government of Japan should give this proposed law the "closest attention" in order that it “can be ready with good plans to meet all emergencies.” Paper Asks Why The “Yomiuri" says: “It is of paramount importance to know why Japanese immigrants are so strongly rejected in America." Tlie answer is easy. Japanese do not mix with our people without a powerful racial shock. Their mixture In marriage produces a race of mongrels This is not because we are su perior to thorn, or they superior to us. Nobody can tell which Is superior. We don't ask which is superior when the proposal is made to cross a Clydesdale horse and a thoroughbred. We merely reject the idea by saying that, the cross will produce a mongrel, no matter how admirable the parent races. No More Experimenting Whatever the “good plans” which our good friends of the “Yomiuri” may have in mind to meet the emergency may be. we are not going to try the experiment of orientalizing' further any part of our population. That is certain. President Harding is said to be about to make some speeches advocating the “liberalizing” of our Irninigra tion laws. He will fail.

Friends of New York Music Publisher Say Jealous Worrran Is Responsible for Letters He Is Accused of Writing to Prominent Persons. By EDWARD THIERRY, XEJTSrrrire Staff Writer NEW YORK, May 24. —Super-detectives who are expert in a new form of detective art are trying to unravel the Maxwell poison pen mystery. Handwriting experts, skilled also in tracing I lie typography of typewriters, are teamed with alienists in trying to find the person who wrote 151 anonymous letters that have kept prominent New Yorkers in a chill of fear for years. George' Maxwell, wealthy music

publisher, is under indictment and faces trial in .lulv. But the chase has only begun, officials say. “Find a jealous woman," urge friends of Maxwell, declaring that he himself has been the victim of tlie "poison typewriter ” "Mi*. Maxwell spent $5,000 in 1918 in an unsuccessful attempt to find the guilty letter writer,” says Elizabeth Hoil!"ene, his housekeeper. “A woman must have done it 0 * • N O TWO typewriters write alike,” says Loren O. Horton, handwriting expert, who is studying the poison pen letters for District Attorney ,)oab Barton. “It is almost impossible for two typewriters to be exactly the same except when they are brand new.” says Albert Osborn. Jr., whose father has been a handwriting expert for thirty years and who is author of two hooks on the subjece. So the chase continues for the typewriter on which the 151 poison letters were written. Some of the 147 loiters first placed in the district attorney’s hands were furnished by Allan A Ryan, the financier, whose wife's name was mentioned by the mysterious writer. Nine women figure in the series of letters, which cover a period of ten years. The last four letters, bringing the totul to 151, were turned over by Nathan Burkan, counsel for Maxwell They had V>ecn received hy the music publisher. • • • VI.L of the poison letters were typewritten. But this Is no disguise, experts say.

By measuring things against each other as our grandmothers did when they swapped eggs for calico, we get the clearest idea of values. Coal and wages make up more than half the manufacturing cost of cement The chart above shows price fluctuations for pordand cement coal and wages during the past ten years.

Diamonds and Gold Are Found; Experts Are Calm

By FLORA G ORR WASHINGTON. May 24.—Tales of diamonds and gold nuggets are told by J. M. Hill and Hugh D. Miser of the Interior Department. Big gold nuggets were recently found In a rugged, out-of-the-way section on the ocean side of the coast ranges In Monterey County, California. But Hill would not have you get excited about It and start another gold rush or anything. He says that matter of fact prospectors have tried to find the veins from which these big hunks of "pay dirt” were ♦•■ ashed and they haven't been successful. Therefore, he thinks the nuggets came from rieh superficial pockets In very small veins and that no large and rich deposits are likely to be found by deep mining. In fact, he says discouragingly.

“The occurrance of these large nuggets is exceptional and does not necessarily indicate the existence of a rich deposit of gold ore.” Most of our American diamonds come from Arkansas. Miser says nearly 6.000 diamonds have come from the “fields” in Scott County, and a few have been picked up in other States. “A valuable diamond was first found in Arkansas by John Huddleston." says Miser. "This was in 1906. The mule Huddleston was riding happened to kick up a stone of unusual brilliance which caught his eye. He dismount' and. picked up the stone and it m his pocket and a few days latefl the mule did it again.' “The stones weer sent to Tiffany of New York, whose expert said ‘diamonds.’ and soon after Mr. Huddleston is said to have sold his forty acre farm for $36,000.”

which compiled these statistics. Translated into “eggs and calico” language this chart shows that a ton of coal would buy nearly twice as much cement in 1922 as in 1913. A day’s wages also would buy more cement in 1922 than in 1913. This means that even though coal and wages make up more than half its manufacturing cost, cement is now relatively lower in price than-; either coal or wages. *
