PLEASED THE "MONEY BAGS" European Capitalists Listened With Pleasure to Accounts of Rocke feller's Stupendous Wealth. During my stay In London I ac cepted au Invitation to have luncheon with Lord Rothbchlld at Ills ofUce, John IIujs Uaunnond writes In Scrlbner's It bad been my custom, extending over a period of many yenrs, to drop in Informally and have luncheon with the ltothschllds once or twice during each of my frequent visits to London. On these occasions alwajs the most Interesting topic of conversation was my estimate of the wealth of Rocke feller mid other ilch Americans. Lord Rothschild lnvaiiubly iutioduied the subject and torewumed, 1 wus ready to give him the desired thrill, lie would usually start with some "piker" capitalist, whose wealth did not amount to more than the paltry sum of $100,000,000, nnd then worked up by queries until he reached the Aineii can Cioesus, John D. Rockefeller. It would bo un unpatriotic American who would belittle the wealth of a com patriot ut u time like this, und ufter having modestly .admitted, in reply to Lord Rothschild's question, that Rocke feller was certainly worth $500,000, 000, assuming un ulr of ultra conserva tism, I would allow him to eiloit what was to him a delectable fact that Rock efeller wus worth at least $750, 000,000; and when the money bugs around the table stured ut me with an expression of pleased surprise, but not of doubt, I would In subdued tone convey to them the fact that In Informed financial circles of Amer ica the Rockefellers' wealth wus esti mated at oer $1,000,000,0001 The In ternationalism of the Rothschild fam ily, and the utter lack of envy, la evidenced in the unmistakable pleas ure which characterized the reception of this titbit of high finance. BIRDS STILL FAR SUPERIOR Man's "Conquest of the Air" Seems to Be Thlno of the Far Dis tant Future. Aviators fiy 1.200 miles with two stops for fuel, and the world applauds tliu deed. Other aviators actuully cross tbo Atlantic at Its narrowest point, some 1.C00 miles wide and the fact stands still unrivaled by a heavier-tban-ulr machine. Hut out on the Pacific, an albatross followed a steamer for six days and eeu nights without ullgbtlng. In this time, tho ship traveled nearly 3, 000 miles, and the bird, with the cir clings, at least as far. Then, with the nearest land 1,000 miles away, the bird swallowed a greedy meal of food thrown over for It, turned abruptly, and disappeared. Huiuuu aviation Is a long, long way from having achieved that measure of endurance. It will come probably but It Is not even In sight yet. In speed, the rai between mun and bird Is close already, and victory in the end Is sure to go to the former. As for altitude, the airplane has out climbed een the condor. But lu the supreme test of endurance, of the ubll Itj to fly and flj and keep on tljlng, man Is ridiculously Inferior. . . jSj !i - . mm waiv &?:? .'-'" . , a.M SJ.ai AA fiS Liberal Eastern Potentate.

Readers should not bo sur prised according to Roger W. Bab son becauso of tho recent action of tho stock market. When inter viewed in Wellesley regarding the matter, Mr. Babson today said the seriousness of tho European situ ation is greater than most people rcalize: "It is really surprising that tho stock market has hold up so well during tho past two weoks. Of course tho break was duo to tho gravity of tho Turkish situation which was understood only by the big bankers In Now York. Tho real facts aro that Franco Is today in quite a similar position ns that held by Germany in 1914. "Tho real seriousness it the dan ger has somehow beon hidden. THo change has come swiftly. A fow "weoks ago Engand was in tho saddlo. At conferences sho was tho dictator. She did the talking and Franco did tho worrying. Today tho situation is just the reverse. England is now in a holo. Franco deliberately put her there. "England alono of all European nations has stood for law and ordor. Sho alono has stood for tho payment of debts, and tho fulfillment of ob ligations. Germany nnd Austria ar bankrupt. Chaos reigns in Russia. Italy is on tho verge of bankruptcy. Franco is compromising. Eng land is tho only country who has told us that she will pay her debts wlth'intorost. "England's policy with Gormany has boon in opposition to that of Franco. England has wanted to got for Franco as much out of Gor many as possible without killing tho gooso that laid the golden eggs. England was Europo's big brother, and upon her the financial world has relied. "Today England Is facod with fighting Europo becauso sho stands practically alono. Tho now govern ment of Greoco is not with her. Germany, alono. In case of war, Is her possible ally. Tho Gormany of today is not on friendly terms with tho Turkey of today. Should, how ever, Germany go in with England, thoro would have to bo an entirely now interpretation placed on many European relationships and tho problems of those relationships. Thero Is tbo matter of reparations, for Instance. All international fin ances would bo upset. "Yes, England stands practically alono. Italy will back Turkey. Russia will back Turkey. And, of course, France will back Turkey. Ilenco it must bo kept clear that tho roal Issue is not botwoen Great Brlt ian and Turkey, but between Great Brltlan and Franco. Franco has been backing Turkey. England has beon backing Greoco. Turkoy and Onwco. howover. havo beon but pawns on tho chessboard. "Whon tho last war was on Rub sla was promised Constantinople Trillin wltbdrow. . Then It was de cided to keep Constantinople free, out of tho powor of either Franco or England. England slowly got a bit of tho upper hand. This hurt tho prldo of Franco who patiently await od her opportunity. Last montn It camo. Then Frnnco playod her cards. In a fow hours tho ontlro European situation changed. Today Franco hold tho trumps. "It Is not merely a war on paper, romombor. Turkoy is fortifying horsolf by putting guns and troops land, Is in a holo and this Is what caused the stock market to broak and foreign bonds to tumble Her own peoplo aro against war. Thoro is tho memory of tho recent blood shed. Thoro is still tho warning mark of great sorrow. An English man, too cannot soo hlmsolt going to Turkey to tight. Whon Gormany thunderod In Europo right at Eng land's door, tho English Tommy was on fire to fight. But today it Is different. Tho Englishman rcmom bors sadly what hopponed at Galli poll. Ho romembors tho fearful cost of conquering a few Boors in South Africa. Ho knows that thoro aro ovor 200,000,000 Mohammedans at Turkoy's back door. "Even tho Englishman, who has n't a son that Is nlrcady lost or a son to loso, has taxes to pay. Eng land, with her intontlon of paying hor debts, is tho only European country that really taxod hor peo plo severely. Tho ordinary English tradesman is up to his chin in tazos. (England has tho hlghost tax rato in tho word.) Ho is not eagor for more, the wolght of which would break him. This 1b tho proposition with which England 1b faced. Sho has either got to fight tho Turks at a tremendous cost of men and mon- oy, without tho full co-oporatlon of hor own yeoplo, or olso sho has to loso Indla.Egypt.PersIa and tho Holy Land, Do you wonder tho stock markots broko? "What will happon? I do not knows but -whatever happens, thoro will bo no chock on business. Tho farmer will bo helped by higher prices for wheat. Manufacturing and shipping will becomo moro ac tivo. Tho cost of living will go up. Money will bo firmer and scarcor. Peoplo will sell their foreign secur ities. The stock market; howover, will not permanently suffer. Whon tho financial history of 1922 is writ ten, this will bo chronlclod only as a 'break In the bull markot.' More over, tho writers will add: 'Con sidering tho great seriousness of the Turkish situation, it is most sur prising that tho stock market has behaved so well. Only tho fact that business was not Inflated but wns still 6 points below normal saved tho situation. Had tho nation in 1922 been enjoying a period of roal prosperity, thor would havo been witnessed a real old-fashlonod pan ic." RED CROSS WINNING IN FIGHT FOR HEALTH Better, Stronger Citizenry Now1 Emerging Out of Work in United States. The American Red Cross as an evangelist of better health has looked Its problem squitre lu the face. How it accepted the task revealed to It In the nation's physical condition as brought out during the World War, and conscientiously applied its activi ties to correction forms a vivid chap ter In tho forthcoming annual report. Historically and practically, nursing Is a basic work for tho Red Cross. In Its public health nursing service, in in struction In home hygiene and care of the sick, nutrition classes, first aid and life saving courses and health cen ters, the American Red Cross is ap pljlng effectually tho lessons learned during tho war and making for a healthier, stronger and better nour ished citizenry. The task of tho Red Cross Public Health nurse In the 1,240 nursing serv ices now operating throughout the country Instructing their communities in health essentials and disease pre vention Is demonstrating the possibili ties of human betterment and the great benefits of enlightenment During the last year 313 new public health nursing services were establish ed by Red Cross Chapters, and several hundred services so convincingly prov ed their effectiveness that they were taken over by public authorities. In order to promote this work $30,000 was allotted to provldo women to prepare themselves for public nursing. Tho home visits made by the 1,2-10 nurses aggregated nearly 1,500,000, visits to schools numbered 140,000, and in six months 1,250,000 school children were Inspected by these nurses and where defects were found advised examlnA- tlon by physicians. In rural commu nities this service has made a very marked advance nnd has won thou sands of converts to approved methods of disease prevention. In home hygiene and care of the sick Instruction, which fits the student In methods of proper caro where illness Is not so serious as to require profes sional service, the Red Cross conduct ed .1,834 classes during the last year, enrolled 2,350 Instructors, 03,448 stu dents and Issued 42,050 certificates. On June 30, 1922, nutrition service embraced 1,100 classes, with a total of 27,523 children and 2,589 enrolled dieti tians. Seventy-eight food selection classes graduated 733 who received Red Cross certificates. In general health activities Red Cross Chapters maintained 377 health centers, serving us many communities, proldcd 38,751 health lectures for largo audiences ev erywhere, while clinics numbered over 10,000. ON EQUALITY WITH HUSBANDS Filipino Women, Entering Into Matri mony, Become Portners In Future Business Enterprises. "When a Filipino woman warrlea she goes Into partnership with her husband," suld Mine. Sofia Reyos do Voyra, wifo of the Philippine commis sioner to tho United Stntes. "While tliu men bundle the work und em ployees, tho women attend to the flnaucos, act us cashiers, puy the work orb und oversee much of the business." Things aro mudj cusy lu many wuj b for FHIpno women, sho asserted, writes Louise Qnttol in tho Milwau kee Journul. Professional opportun ities ure as good for tbwu as for men. Women am already members of tho Philippine Bur association, a privilege not open to British womon. "Murriod women in the Philippine hold their property In sovemlty, and aro gunrdlans of tholr own children. Of tho property which accrues to a married couplo, tho wife Is half ad ministratrix und thore are vested rights which cannot be tukoa away. It Is not unusual for tho mother of a futnlly to havo not only household leadership, but economic control." Women's clubs are rapidly growing In tho Islands. Muo, De Voyra said, and pointed out that already 800 clubs and associations exist, which have formel n federation. Mine. De Voyra has four children, "as bright, healthy and happy as any mother could wish," as she de scribed them. 1 h: i
