DON'T SPEND IT YET. Tho paf'.ije of any tionus measure by th senate ia a frreat victory for public opinion, but Just as a tip to the boys who ehouM and will ona day receive this adjusted compensation don't spend it yet. It Is Fjnflca.nt that the vote by which It wai pas"d was not a partisan one. Democrats and republicans voted for It. Democrats and republicans voted against It. That is as it fhould be, for bonus or adjustod compensation was too b!s a thlrc to be a party issue. It i3 based upon the eternal principle of Justice and plain honesty. While the measure itaelf Is an answer to tho public demand for honesty, the legislation Itself is net honest and under it. there la little likelihood of any Immediate payments to the service men. Tho measure first passed by the house carried with it no provision for raising funds with which to meet the obligation. That was de?!gnedly eo. for the members, fearin? the effect upon their political future if they failed to pass come measure, l.opad to escape censure by passing1 a bill which would be killed In -the senate or amended there eo aa to relieve them of any responsibility. The members who take credit for otin;r for the tonus measure are deliberately misleading their constituent?. The measure they parsed was as worthless as soviet money. When the senate received the bill, they were told plainly by President Hardin? that he would veto the mcaniro unless It provided for revenues to meet it and unless the method adopted was the sales tax. That sugeftion was honest and courageous and f-ertslble. In the end, the people must pay this bill. The Fale1 tax wculd be the least cumbersome method of collecting It. UelyinfT upon thatthreat to veto, many of the .-c minors vho voted for the measure did so In the belief tha- it would be killed by the veto and voted to ,-ut into tho billhe provision that it is to be paid from interes: on the money loaned to foreign countries. Tho palpable dishonesty of this scheme lies in tho fact that the interest from those debts was pledged to the buyers of Liberty Bonds during the tvar a. a a means of repayment. More dishonest is the f.ict that such a provision makes the debt to the mpn who were discriminated apainst during the war dependent upon the solvency of warring r.d bankrupt Europe. Now the measure must go to a conference. That an agreement can bo reached i problematical. That it will result in the substitution of the sals tax for the senate method is more than improbable. Even if they do agree on fome scheme, the bill must thn go to Prrident Harding who has openly announced that he will veto it. Aside from th probability that the m?j:sure cannot be passed over the veto, aside from the further fact that the measure as drafted would probably be set aside by the supremo court, the demand of the people for honest treatment of the men in uniform has been answered. If the people had their wish, the debt would be paid this year. As a matter of fact, it Is not likely that any payments can bo made for many months. So cheer up, boys. The people are with you. You have fen the power of the people force this measure from a reluctant and secretly hostile senate. Some day you will collect an honest debt from an honest government. That will probably come after the fourth of next March when a new congress assembles. Until that time, have all the fun you can in figurelng on how you are golpg to spend your share but don't spend it. yet.

J profits by adding a penny to a gallon of gasoline. The total rur.s into millions. The hooesty of such

advances dcs not depend upon the amount of Increase but upon the falrr.eis of the raL'o in price. Ford has handed the department of commerce and the public c real question to be settled and is able to make it dramatic by the immense numbers of employes affected. It will not U for th olücial spokesman of the flv. ministration to s'mply denounce Ford because ha can escape his personal dilemma by raising prices to his customers. Ford's protest goes deeper. It Is time to find out where a few leaders of labor and a few mine operators can full off a strike, engage in a summer war and then pa;s the cost of their right along to the p ibllc. Instead of f.gurinf how little will be the added cost of manufacture of flivvers, Mr. Jlcover might better answer the question of whether the prices asked for coal in this country are fair, reasonable and necersary' or whether they form a specie of robbery', thinly disguised and so widely distributed that the burglars believe they can get away with it. There is no difference in morals, and should b rone in law, between stealing ten million dollars from one man or one dollar each from ten million men. Hoover's reply to Ford is a vindication 'of those who pursue the latter method of getting the com.

FORD AND HOOVER. Henry Ford orders his plants closed in about two weeks and gives as a reason that he refuses to be he'.d up for extortionate prices for coal. Secretary' of Commerce Hoover, the man who fed Europa and brought the wheatless and sugarless days during tho war, promptly gives out a statement that there is no need for Ford to close his plants. Inasmuch as he can get all tha coal at 5 C.5 0 a ton that ho needs and Ford admits that 5 is a reasonable price. Reducing the extra two dollars to terms of Ford care. Hoover says that the extra cost per car would only be 11.50 each 'and that this trilling sum would be readily paid by

e public.

That discloses. If anything, the view point of Uoover and presents him to the public as tha ! champion of the conditions which have made coal strike and coal shortages, rail strikes and high freights, possible in this country. . He stands, under his statement for the principle in business that as long as you can pass along any increased ccst, no matter how big or how little, to tha consumer, it Is good business to etand for the shakri down. Ills statement is a defense of a policy cf submitting to an extortion as long aa It does net affect .your personal pocltetbook and can be passed along to tome ona else to finally pay. There should be but one question in which the f -cretary of Commerce hould be, interested when fo drastic a thing as the unemployment of between a million and two millions of men are concerned. "I the price cf $.C0 a ton a fair price or is Ford right when he declares that it should bo sold at $4.50 a ton? should be the aucstion ar.srvered br the commercial adviser and, to some extent, dictator of the United States. If Ford's figure of a, reasonable price is correct, every dollar collected above trat price Is robbery nd Ford Is right In refusing to be the agent for t'irse who are reaching-for extortion into tho pocket of tha public The fact that Ford would take only 51.30 from tery flirrer buyer has nothing to do with the question, It Is a matter of honesty In 'ti:$intss and in Industry. No Industrial problem will ever bo ettled by raltlnsr the amount of Individual robberies to 5mIl that they ca.n bo passed along without rauch protest. The ell monopoly of this country rlxea Its own

THE THIRD DEGREE. The exhibition of a prisoner, a red, charged with train wrecking. In a court in Gary', his body a mass of bruises, discloses an even deeper wron;r to society than might be suggested by the third degree methods. Deaten and maimed, this man confessed to the crime. Ho has repudiated hl3 story now, and. even if it be true, his confession Is worthless for this country does not recognize evidence gained by tor:ure. That plan of obtaining Justice went oat of fashion when America adopted the present fcheme based on tho theory of assumption of innocence until proved guilty. What these officers have done, if the charge of heating and maltreating Is true, is to aid this red to escape. If he be really guilty. Ills confession, now worthless for any purpose of evidence, tho officers of the law have laid the ground work for a defence and have discredited 'nemselves In advance. The use of the third degree police methods are repugnant to every sense of American decency. There Is no question Involved of sickly sentimentalism for criminals. There Is a real protest against a return to the Inquisition. The police department that uses brutality to obtain evidence simply brands itself as inefficient and anarchistic. No community will long stand for such methods. While they are In use, the officers of the law become the most efficient aids to the r al criminal and a menace to the Innocent. The day ha passed when a burly brute in uniform can beat a defenseless man Into a state of unconsciousnt .-s and then take his admissions, made in hope of escaping further torture, into a court ar.d have it accepted. The WFy to light anarchy is with the law, not with more anarchy, as some misguided policemen in uniforms seem to believe.

A REAL BENEFACTOR. Over in France a multimillon.iiro celebrates the iiftieth anniversary of an invention which has brought him vast fortune and lias staMished his n.-'.me as a part of the vocabularies of the civilized world. - Just 50 years ago he first announced to his customers women, of course that he would put a curl H their hair that would not disappear with the first showrr. lie aiwo It Iiis own name and thus the Marcel wave became a permanent part of 'life and of dictionaries. There may be those who will become cynical over the fact that the man who hit upon this scheme of things is rewarded by a gigantic fortune while real scientists, isolating disca.-e germs, discovering new foods, eontributing to the material wealth of the world, are forgotten and die in either poverty or mediocrity. As a matter of fact ;v lv.it this man did was reallv important and hid. probably, a more beneficial effect upon the world than did any single discovery ri" medicine or agriculture. Attractiveness and beauty of woman 1.; one of the grat nr'natini.- forces of the world and anything that adds to the store of femins charm contributes to the stability of the races which adopt it. If the curl in hair, denied by nature. Is a more compelling advertisement of womanhood than straightened loci---, old Marcel with his wave did more to stop decrease in marriage ratios and to check race suicide xhar. al! those who form societies to discuss these problems and pass resolutions condemning modern styles. He Is entitled to his fortune and In his old age should feel a warm glow of not having lived in vain as he visualizes the millions of heads, the Mack, the brown, tho blonde and red, which have been transformed into vibralions of beauty by his device. Only the supercyniral will envy him his place In the hall of fame or deny his right to his reward. Centuries hence." long after telepathy supplants the wireless as a means of communication and when travel is a matter of instaneous projection through tubes at a thousand milc3 a second Instead of the slow movirg airship at '.'0 0 miles an hour, the Marcel wave will still be a part of life, still used by women to increase tieir charm, still an eld to Old Mother Nature who has really only one purpose in view and who i always on the Job to see that the purpose is accomplished. Put down the name of Marcel rs a real benefactor. Many a happy married woman, coddling her babies, would be o spinster had he not lived, t 0 "Too many women shoot their husbands' says a Judge. '.'low about setting a limit and sticking to It. o Every well-dressed man has a pair of shoes he has never worn because they are too tight for him. o Maybe ihcse golfers are training- for the railroad -strike.

have decided that you ought to

be told that while you may run acroes women that cannot appreciate the "Tower of Babel." now and then, sandwiched In between, you will find somo that can. Personally I have never had much patience with any one with such an ingrown grouch that they never could see any good In anything. Go ahead and write about your friend Jake. I always look for his name, in dally expectation of finding the announcement In your columns that has waked up and originated a plan to favor bald-headed men. oh, say ten or fifteen cent. on the hair-cut. Then they could fee! that they could have the little fringe on the back of their necks trimmed about three times a year, and still feel that they were getting their money's worth as well as when they only had It done semi-an

nually.

I'd think any woman could appreciate your comments on men that work as hard to please thern as do Joe Grand Leader, Tom Brandon and even Buddy Vogt. By the way what has become of Buddy? I haven't noticed him around our favorite Tower lately He's a nice child. And about the fish. Bill It takes a clever man to have some one else fishing for him when he hasn't the time to do It for himself. You are alright Bill, so Is the Tower. And when I can't appreciate every thing that you write (and there are times that I can't) I always remember that eome where there Is some one that can. Again I have read things in the Tower that nothing short of an iron mask would fail to laugh at. Yours for a clean p aper, and the kind of "humor" that makes us all one great bis happy family. MRS. SQUAREDEAL. P. S. This ins't on anonymous letter, you may have my name and address any time that you care to ak for It. Oh, why couldn't we get a lot of contributors writing in panning and praising us. while we are on one of our numerous vacations? It would

be such a big help.

YOUR HEALTH

By Dr. R. a CopelanrJ

Not long ago the newspapers announced some remarkable experiments made by New York physicians to discover a means of curing rickets. This Is a deiacioncy disease preventing the building of bone tissue. It has been successfully overcome by feeding cod-liver oil to the afflicted children. Tho oil furnished what the body lacked. It has been held that the effect of the cod-liver oil Is to supply essential "Vitamine." We don't know exactly what vltamines are, but this name has been applied to the mysterious contents' of food stuffs. contents which produce growth and vigor. .Speaking of the New York experiments, the newspapers said that the froquent exposure of the fkin of a child to the direct rays of the sun cured rickets without any change, of diet. In other words, sunlight does exactly what cod-liver oil has done. Some chemical change takes place na a result of exposure to the sun which accomplishes the same result.

This effect may be due to the stimulation of existing vltamines. It may bo due to other causes. In any event, bone-building is resumed. Dr. Alfred F. Hess was quoted as saying it would take fifty thousand dollars' worth of cod-liver oil to cure all the cases of rickets in New Y'ork City. But thece sunlight experiments', if they are substantiated, make it unnecessary to spend money for good health which God's sunlight can give free. It Is remarkable what recuperative nd disinfecting powers reside in sunlight. Almost any deadly germ will die after a few hours exposure to sunlight. There can be no doubt that many diseases are benefited by sunlight and fresh air. Orr grandmothers "sunned" the bedding and the milk-pans. They recognized tho Importance of Nature's gift. Now science is attempting to analyze and apply in an accurate way what we have learned already by. the rule of thumb. I hope the experiments will prove to be as valuable to humanity as f.rst reports Indicate.

THEORY" AND PRACTICE We notice that the paragraphers who jest about summer vacations always tako the longest ones.

VERS LIBRE, CUBISM, ET AL There Is something the matter with uplift: It is seldom, if ever, we find. In these practical days, the raggedy lays Produced by the modernized mind. One sees In the magazine poems No hint of the weirdly sublime; I have read quite i few, in a fortnight or two, And six out of ten of them rhyme! The drama has suffered a setback. The plays are becoming too roucn; They leave you in doubt as to what they're about, Like the earlier mystical stuff. They picture, unblushing and plainly. The regular course of events; I have reen two or three, and it's startling to mo To find that they always make pense! And even the painters are slipping Their pictures are lucid affairs; No more do they paint with delightful Restraint These cute little bunches of squares. I've recently seen quite a number. And noticed, with terrified awe. That the artists don't seek to be new and unique, But seem to be learning to draw! We thought, in our untutored fashion. That the work of the misty old pat. With brush and with pen, might revive once again. This view our impressionist brethren Afflicted with horrified fright. That old ftuff. they said, was eternally dead; But now, it would seem, we were right.
