'The'-earth turns on its axis about 1,000 mfles an hour, 25,(X0 miles in 24 hours. Because of ’ its size, the earths motion is slow. At the same comparative rate of speed you could hot dote st any motion in a cart wheel r? volvingr once in 24 hours. However, as President Hoov-tr justly complains, there is somu- * thing? slower, and that’s the senate’s motion on the tariff. It has been considering' a tariff bill, as the President says, “since June, with fifteen schedules to work out, and has not yet completed schedule I.'’ Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., head of General Motors, back from Europe, sees no “logical reason for sueh action as has occurred in security values ’’ Business is sound, says Mr. Sloan. He believes that the quarter earnings for Genera! Motor? will be ahead of the same ’ period for the last year. Edsel Ford announces reductions in Ford prices .expressing the belief of the Ford organize tion that, “basically, the industry and business of the’ country are sopnd.’’ There is no better contribution to prosperity than to give buy* ers more for their money, when greater efficiency makes it possible. It isn’t how much money you get, but what you get for your money, that counts. F. H. Ecker, president of the Metropolitan Life, biggest insurance company in the world, replies to a question concerning recent Wall Street excitement: ■ “Drastic deflation of market prices of shares of common stock in no wise affects life insurance policies issued by companies whose investment practice, guided by lavfs. such as those of the State of New York, or the sound judgment of executives, excludes common stock from their holdings. “More than ever has this Tecent experience demonstrated that life insurance is the safest, most dependable repositor? for the savings of millions of our population, furnishing at the same time sound protection against loss which follows fn the wake of death.’’ New Jersey, first among the states, has absolutely wiped out the gypsey moth. Governor Larsen and the state agricultural department are to be congratulated on a fine achiev- ■ ement. More money than Wall Street could lose in a dozen panics would be saved if science could eliminate agricultural pests, boll weevil, corn borer, arid the rest of the army. Excellent news comes from Florida as to the success of that stab? in dealing with the Mediterranean fruit fly. It has been a cosily battle, but worth the money and trouble. Samuel Insull, and the other big employers, following the example of Julius Rosenwald, supply money to protect employees! from losses in stock speculation. Henry Ford, wouldnf agree with that idea. Two years ago when this Writer mentioried certain stocks in which there were bound to be heavy losses, Ford said: “Os course But that's the only way people can leath/' Whether it is wise not to let nature take its course in gambling as in other things, is questionable. Senator Nye, of North Dakota, wanfs Wall Street and “all speculafibft sifted/’ What’s more, he wants a remedy ready by February 1. That’s a short time for so big a job. The Malay, in his breech cloth, bets on cook fights. The proud,red Indian piles up his Shirt and blanket, bets them *on a pony race, standing in dignified nudity. Two ways Os getting something! One is to Work, tne other is Mmbling. Ninety per cent of human brings prefer the gambling way. That Will be changed a good deal later than February 1, 1930. You will be. glad to hear that the Federal Reserve Board says the Wall Street earthquake is ewer, public fears calmed.

CROMWELL COUPLEI CAR CRASH Dr. And Mrs. Galloway Are Hurt As Auto Upsets On Way To Syracuse Dr. O .B. Galloway, dentist of Cromwell, was more severely injured than Mrs. Galloway, when their car crashed at the curve of the Syracuse-Benton road, just beyond the Tit makes, as it branches toward Lake Wawasee, and towards Benton and Goshen, at it comes from. Syracuse. The accident occurred Sunday evening- about 9 o’clock, as Brand Mrs. Galloway were returning- home to Cromwell from a wedding which they attended in South Bend. According to Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hapner, who live at the dangerous curve in the road, they heard a crash and rushed out to discover the accident.
