Italy Seeks a Way Out - While Great Britain shows a tendency for leadership more conservative than that of Lloyd George, Italy, tiring of a "do nothing" policy, has entrusted itself to the guidance of Mussolini, who is wedded to the theory of action. After the war, Italy had its taste of radicalism and communism, but soon tired of the folly. Following that period, one of stagnation set in, the government being unable or unwilling to

ORIGINAL MIND IS REFRESHING By George Matthew Adams

The silliest, weakest, most useless, and most hobgoblined mind in the world Is that of the one who takes all his opinions from others. . His is the mind already sold to the meanest bidder. -Such a one may be, in the words of Stevenson, "a docile citizen," but "he will never be a man." So that to meet one whose opinions and Ideas flow from a fertile and open mind, is like coming into a cool patch of woods, beside some fresh flowing stream, after having suffered heat and dust across the wide plain. Each of ns has a mind of his own, with a dictating soul source that Is as true as the path of the sun. But It must be given Its say. This stubborn sense of right that ever so often rises to spur us into our best and wisest way, is a thing as divine as the stars. It is no wonder that the very gods of time make way to honor such Intrepid "misunderstoods" as Emerson, Thoreau, and Whitman. For they light up entire agesg Our self-assertion must bear Its own consequences, but insofar as it is expressive of the sincere urge of our soul voice let it face the judgment of either rabble or high court and stand or fall by its merits. Have no fear outside the throne room of your heart! Know and know that you know, because you are accepting the honest expression and thinking of your innermost best self or else remain silent until you do know. I believe that the great God takes away the loneliness from many a human being, who has made himself a' hermit for truth, by coming often to keep him company. So, never mind, my friend. Be yourself in the grandest way you know, and you wiljf refresh every last one of your kind.

Ripplint Rhymes By Walt Mason THE WISE AUNT My Apnt Jane is passing wise, and her husband's love she holds, for she feeds him up with pies ere she lectures him or scolds. As a cook she is hard to beat, gorgeously her husband fares: it Is a privilege to eat anything my aunt prepares. If she thinks it right to say things unpleasant to the ear, she won't speak while Uncle Jay is hungry as a Bteer. For all hungry men despise words of warning and advice, but when they are full of pies they will listen once! or twice. Wives by thousands every day an the path of error tread, throwing household peace away, jawing men who should be fed. When my Uncle Jay has placed luscious victuals in his craw, my Aunt Jane, serene and chaste, tells him of a hat she saw. For that hat she makes a bid, saying, "Now. so help me John I have worn my old bum lid till I blush to put It on. You can buy yourself cigars, you can play your billiard game, while my wornout boniwit jars every fibre in my frame." Filled with pastry, Uncle Jay, Heaves a wide, forgiving smile; "Go and buy that hat today I would see my wife in style." After Dinner Stories "See that woman over there?" "Yes, what about her?". "Well, if It hadn't been for three words she said ten years ago, I would be as wealthy as Croesus now!" "Delightful situation. Go ahead with the tale!" "Well, her father owned all the safetypin plants in the country and the family was just rolling In wealth. And with all her riches she was mean enough to deprive me of my chances of making ten million dollars at a blow! Imagine!" "What's the rest of the dope? What are the famous three words?" "Why, I was going to marry ber and then all her millions would have been mine but r "But what?" "But when I asked her to be mine she said: "No. You fool!" Amhert Lord Jeff.

Touching the top card of one File, the performer calls out the name of a card (say, two of Fpades). He then picks up that card. Touching the top card of the next heap, be calls out "eight ot clubs' and picks up the card. Touching the third card, he calls 'king of diamonds" and picks up that card. He then lay the cards faces up on the table. The cards are the two of spades, eight of clubs and king of diamonds ; the very cards he named ! Before doing the trick, the performer secretly noted the top card of the pack, which was the two of spades. When the pack was cut Into three heaps, the two of spades was naturally on top of one pile. The performer, however, touched a card on one of the other heaps and called "two of spades." He picked up that card and saw it was the eight of clubs. Touching the top card of the second heap, he called "eight of clubs." Picking up the card, he saw It was ife king of diamonds. Then, touching the real two of spades, he called "king of diamonds." Thus ot the finish, he laid down the three cards that he had named.

New Blue Sky Business American People Swindled by Buying Foreign Currencies and Bonds of Some Nations.

By FREDERICK J. HASKIX WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 4. The American people are being exploited by the greatest blue sky business in the history of the world, in the opinion of government officials who have made a careful study of the vending here of foreign currencies. There is much perplexity as to just how it can be regulated and its most pernicious aspects halted. No federal blue sky law exists and those of many of the states are regarded as loose. Even If there were adequate legislature to govern the 6ales of securities of doubtful value, there. is a question as to whether or not such laws would cover the dealing in currencies. The case of the German mark Is the most notable. Billions of German marks have been purchased by Americans, as well as by citizens of other countries, in the hope and expectation that great rewards would be reaped by the purchasers upon the return of the mark to its gold par, value. The trick in the situation is that the mark cannot recover The mark Is by no means the only case. Others are even more flagrant. The German mark has had more pub licity because of the conspicuous position of the German nation in world affairs. Also, the fact that the German reparations are involved in the matter has added interest and tended to give wider circulation to reports concerning the dealing in this depreciated currency. What the blue sky operators are do ing is selling to Americans for dollars, notes of European countries which are payable only In those countries and not payable anywhere in gold. Exchange in all these European countries sttjadily declines from week to On Hands, Elbows, Limbs and Chest. Cuticura Healed. "For nearly Sent years I was troubled with eczema on my bands, elbows, lower limbs, and portiona of my chest. It broke out in a rash and the skin was very sore and red. The itching was intense causing me to scratch. The itching was worse at night, and the resultant loss of sleep rendered me incapable of performing my work. "I tried CBtkara Soap and Ointment. The first three application allayed the Itching, and in less than two months I was healed." (Signed) W. C. Tanner, 105 W. Columbia St., Springfield, Ohio, Feb. 27, 1922.

week and in some of them from day to day. This means that a broker can sell German marks today for a given price and -by tomorrow the buy er will have lost money. What the buyer fondly hopes is that the tide will turn and that on some future tomor row the mark will go up again, ultimately bringing him a value very much greater than he paid. Sharp Deals In Bonds. But the sales of currencies are not the sole blue sky business of this sort. Sales of securities of these foreign countries and cities are in much the same class, although, in some cases, there is a shade more hope for them. In such cases the bro kers are even more fortunately placed They can sell a Polish bond today for a given sun in dollars. By delay ing delivery even a day or two, the depreciating currency will enable them to buy the bond at a lower price than that paid them by their client. The speculation looks highly at tractive to uninformed purchasers To be offered government bonds at small prices seems an easy chance to make money. It would be if the bond were worth even the small price asked One of the companies specializing in this type of business offers a sort of grab-bag of miscellaneous foreign se BED ROOM SUITES FERD GROTHAUS Furniture of Quality 614-616 Main St. Sunday DAYTON JOURNAL Containing Rev.

curities for a lump sum. A dozen bonds

national, municipal and industrial are offered for a lump sum. The par value of these bonds adds up to the to tal of $28,285. The lot is offered to the purchaser at $192.50. It seems an excellent Investment. Another offer which recently attract ed many Americans consisted of some Polish securities. For a lump snm of approximately 120, a lot of Polish bonds having a par value ot about $10,000 was offered. Secretary of Com merce Hoover examined this proposal and discovered that any person could buy these securities in the open market for about $6. The company offering the bonds claimed they were a bargain at $20. It is not Improbable that when the company printed its circulars, the cost of the bonds in the open market would have been as much as $20. The elapse of some weeks during which the printed literature was being circulated saw the depreciation of Polish currency to a point where the bonds could have been purchased for $6. - Doubtless some of the companies of fering these currencies and securities have some faith in them and when they prepare their literature they quote fair prices. If the literature should be put out at the turn of the tide when the prices of these evidences of indebtedness started upward, the offerings would indeed be bar gains. The trick in the thing is that the chance of a rise in these quotations is remote. To buy these cur rencies and securities, therefore, is to bet on a sure loser. No one ever went to a horse race who pnt his mon ey on a horse that he knew was sure to lose. Yet, the fact that the companies offering these foreign bonds remain in business seems to indicate that some thousands of Americans constantly are doing a thing equally foolish. Not Enough Gold In The World. - The principal reason the Investors must lose is that it is impossible for them to win unless some King Midas comes along and turns everything he touches into gold. He would have to work a good many eight hour days to touch objects to produce the vol ume of gold necessary to bring these currencies and securities back to a point where a majority of the Ameri can, purchasers would make money on tn em. Gold is the backing of bonds and currencies. American paper dollars are worth $1 each because the whole world knows that there is actual gold back of the currency. European marks, rubles, kronen, et cetera, are not worth their normal value because the whole world knows they have practically no gold back of them. Now, the stern fact that makes it Impossible for the investors ever to win is this: these countries have issued paper money and bonds payable in paper money, in such enormous volume that there is not nearly enough gold in the world to make them good. The argumet has been made that when Germany, for instance, gets back on her feet she will get the gold to put back of her marks and they will return to par. There is not enough gold in all the countries of the world to bring the German mark back tor par. The outstanding volume of Austrian crowns is aproximately one trillion. An outside estimate places the world's, gold supply at about $10,000,000,000, so it will be seen that it would take several times the whole world supply to take care of the Austrian crowns alone. Yet Americans still buy Austrian crowns and Australian bonds payable in Austrian crowns. There are 300,000,000,000 Polish marks outstanding. There are about the same number of German marks, but the German production is increasing tremendously. Forty-eight billion marks were issued in the month af Augus: alone, and Germany now is Issuing them at the rate of 2,600,000,000 a day. From these figures it will be seen that these currencies cannot return to par.

Ira T.anham. a young farmer living near this city, lost his left band when it was caught and mangled in the mechanism of a corn shredder. He was taken to a hospital, where the hand was amputated. reached such astraaomieal proportions. Now, the worst thing that could happen to Hie European countries would be to have the mark go back to pan Estimate that a pair of shoes ts 40,000 German marks. Germany buys the $10 shoes and agrees to pay 40,000 marks. A magic wand is waved and the mark returns to par. Germany has agreed to pay 40,000 for the shoes, whether the mark is at par or not. Therefore, she must pay the equivalent of $8,000 for a pair of shoes Extend this caluclation to the great debts which have been incurred in terms of German, Polish marks, Russian Tubles, Austrian crowns and the others. It will be seen that to havo these currencies approximate par would mean that these countries would have to repay thousands of times what they borrowed. Common sense dictates that' they will not permit their curreAcies to return to par, even if they could. They cannot, because the world does not hold enough gold to make them worth that. , Therfore, the American purchaser of such currencies of securities is betting on a sure loser.
