Selfishness, a Power (Copyright, 132S TN Bia CITIES, hundreds sands went for their holiday in automobiles. A philosopher said "Most of the cars are not paid for In thousands of cases they represent money that might have meant inde pendence in, old The automobiles represent money spent for health, pleasure and time saving NOW. Not one in ten is reajly independent in old age, nor was he before automobiles came. Better buy a car, enjoy it, and use the added health and time saved to work for independence. No car, wisely used, ever made a man poor.

TT IS HARD to keep prices up when goods are plentiful. That applies to a merchandise called "money. Big boys, seeking to check stock i gambling among little boys, put call ately, money poured into Wall Street from the West, New England and Europe, and the rate dropped to 5 per cent. The New York Clearing House broke all records on Tuesday, with clearings of two thousand, four hun dred and thirteen millions. We have lots of money.

Big men say brokers' loans must drop $800, 000,000 more to make things safe, which is childish. In proportion to total values brokers' loans are not high. They ara lower, proportionately, than in any other line of business. The so called big men are really little men, as you realize when you meet any of them, and they can't get used to the bigger figures that came after the war. P.

S. If you are short of stockg which is always foolish, look out for a large red bull that may cross your path. He's not far away. HHHE League for Sexual Reform, gathered in Copenhagen, says it will "free human" beings from the feeling of sin and crime in the field of their deepest emotions." In this part of the world many are doing well in that direction without help from any league. It has taken human beings a million years to acquire elementary ideas of decency, and, unfortunately, no league is needed to put them back where they were.

Such a league should meet In the vc1nrse at hand. BOLSHEVISM gave peasants the land, taking it from worthless nobles. That suited the peasants. Then Bolshevism told the peasants how much they might charge for their crops, how much they must bring to the cities, etc. That did NOT suit the They xut down wheat acreage, causing dangerous shortage, and Russia is looking everywhere for cash wheat, with immediate delivery, and ships to carry It.

Tou cannot safely Interfere with man's most important mainspring, which is SELFISHNESS. JOPE springs eternal. And, fortu nately for 'human beings, a majority of us, "listen with credulity to the whispers of fancy, and pursue with eagerness the phantoms of hope; expect that age will perform the promises of youth, and that the deficiencies of the present day will be supplied by the morrow.

RADICALS gathered In Wall Street before Morgan office, carrying banners demanding "Freedom of our black brothers in Haiti." They bit one policeman's thumb, sixteen were locked up.

Deport Man Lost Arm Giovanni Mario, 24, of Evans ville, to Leave Berks Heavily Guarded SHOT BY STATE TROOPER Served Year in Jail After Plead ing Guilty to Disorderly House Charge In charge of armed guards from the department of labor immigration service, Giovanni Mario, 24, of Evansville, with one sleeve emntv souvenir of two escapes from officers will leave Reading today on the 9.25 a. m. train for New York.

There he will be taken aboard ship and escor ed to Parma, Italy. His deportation will then be considered complete, He will be whisked from Berks jail to the station in a closed car, and all precautions have been taken to pre vent his trying another dash for liberty. His journey today Is the "be ginning of the end" of an ineffectual fight to remain in this country. He was ordered deported for keeping disorderly house and for illegal entry into the United He was shot in the arm by State Trooper Paul Heisler in his second dash for liberty. This was January 7, 1928, at Evansville.

For three months he was in Homeopathic hos pital In Reading, during which timu the arm was amputated at the elbow Since April 7, he has been a prisoner in Berks jail. No Efforts Spared No efforts have been Spared to prevent deportation of Mario. His counsel, Darlington Hoopes, Reading attorney, appealed to the United States authorities at Washington to prevent it. This was after Mario lost his arm, but the request was re fused. The immigration laws provide that any alien found guilty of keeping a disorderly house shall be deported Mario insisted that he was not the proprietor of the Green Tree Inn at Evansville.

When state police raided it, he was there and arrested as the owner and proprietor. Bought the Inn He bought the inn, he said, from a man named Joe, and when he found it would not pay, remted it to one Miller for $100 a month. He ex plained his presence in the house by saying that he was collecting the rent. The law, however, holds equally guilty proprietor and lessee or owner of a disorderly house. Immediately after sentence United States authorities started deportation proceedings.

But Mario escaped ann fo; another year could not bo found. He returned last Christmas to his sister's home to celebrate the holi day. The state police learned of It. and went to an est him. Mario in the same manner as escaped a year before, jumped from the upper storv window and made for the woods.

When he escaped the first time, a state trooper, neld responsible, was demoted in rank. On this occasion. Trooper Ncislcr was obliged to draw his pistol before Mario would halt. One bullet grazen hi3 lesr but he did not stop. A second, aimed at his heart, hit him on the arm below the elbow.

Claim Enty Illegal Tmmla ration officers charge that Mario entered this country illegally hroueh Canada, but the crime con viction alone would be sufficient to cause his deportation, Mario says he came here, with a passport, by way of Quebec. Canada, in 1920, with nis sister, Mrs. Pianl Parrien, with whom he lived in Evansville. They sailed nto Canada, he explains, because there were no steamers at the time from Naples, to the United States. Mario said that he took out tirst citizenship papers, in 1923, but his awvers havo been unable to verity this.

It Is the belief of Hoopes that he never attempted to be a citizen. The man claims to have earned as much as $70 a week In the concrete mills in Evansville, and to have saved enough to buy the inn. When the state police raided the. place they found several women there. Mario says Miller brought them there.

In his cell last night In the jail, Mario bemoaned the fact that ho must, after eight years in what he called the best country in the world, return to Italy. "There's no' work there," he complained, "and what can I do with one arm. I would wo In the fields, but there Is not even that kind of work In Italy. "America is a good place, but those who come here should obey its laws. I pleaded guilty to keeping a diror derly house, hut I did not understand what I was doing.

I wasn't satisfied to get along in a good job, at the cement works, where I earned $70 a week. I bought the Inn, where I thought I would make more and easier money, but the owner tricked me. and I suffered. "Now I'll have to go back where there's no work, and no money. My father is unable to keep me.

He was a bricklayer, but. he cannot work now, he Is paralyzed. My brothers will" despise me, for anyone who has been in prison Is looked upon In Itay as disgraced. I am the first of my family who has been arrested. "If I had only been content with working honestly in the cement factory, I'd be all right now." Today Who Fleeing Police Boy, Stooping to See Why Cracker Did Not Explode, Loses an Eye STOOPING down to find out why a giant firecracker failed to explode after the fuse was lighted, cost Robert Wald man, 11, of Stony Creek, the sight of hi left eye.
