Earth is going to have the last oi this month. On November 27 she -is expected to plow through a whole swarm of meteors that a banged-up comet has lost 1 he comet is Biela's comet which was well known to the an cients. Jn 183- our earth really collided with it head, missing it by only a few thousand miles. When it returned in IMS it was found to have broken into two heads. The as tronomcrs a s cribed this to the pull of the sun the comet having approached too near to old Sol. Bicla s comet 5 1 never came back again, but on Nov. 27, ISC-', the earth passed through a tri-mpiiHnne slimier nf thnntinir stars. Science believes that between 1845 and 1872 the comet simply went to pieces and that these shooting stars was its debris. Now, 4l) cars later, they predict that we. will go through the debris aeain. The picture, which we print by special ar rangement with Popular Science Monthly, shows the earths. nun through the swarm. Nobody need fear injury on Nov. 2,. When 'shooting fW our thick atmosphere, some 300 miles up, they begin to burn and the friction reduces them to nothing by the time they reach ourfvicteity. Popular Science says that one hundred and forty-six billions ol. these fragments enter our atmosphere every-year, and you nevexlbeaj. of Cne of them hitting a human being thanks be! Community Service Campaign Is Seeded. While the government and other latencies are vers' active in endeav loring to induce people to save, it is I evident that such a campaign is di rected to the non-savers, and the only systematic campaign to help the savers to preserve their savings by judicious investment is a constant campaign in behalf of Treasury notes, short-time investments. On the other hand, there is unin terrupted bombardment of savers by swindling stock promoters and an even more injurious crusade by well meaning but ill-advised promoters of new enterprises, wholly untried, usu ally undercapitalized, in such specu lations as oil and mining and similar ventures. At a hearing before the judiciary Committee of the House in the pres ent session of Congress the Federal Reserve Board asked for additional legislation to protect savers from swindling stock jobbers, the board making the statement that in the last year these swindlers had taken from the American people more than half a billion of their saved capital. Prob ably injudicious speculations took a very much larger sum. Private institutions engaged in le gitimate bond, mortgage and other investments, it seems to me, should awake to the duty of educating the 21 million savers of capital in the United States in caring for their cap ital, once saved. The people need a campaign of primary education on what capital is, and what investment is. They unstintingly deny them selves luxuries in order to save, and billions of dollars to this saved capi tal, of incalculable value to the na tion and all its industries, regularly are wasted in specuation. Many Are Ignorant. Students of this subject report that it is not the untrained mechanic and artisan alone, who is ignorant of the A B C of investment, but among the victims of promotion are mer- Kansas Senator Urges Education In Investments Savings Lost to Stock Sharks Total Vast Yearly Sum. Learn First, Spend After, Is His Ad vice to New Investors. By ARTHUR CAPPER. Killtor'N Notts Senator Arthur Cap per of Kansas was for many years hea-I of a string of papers, Itolh daily an.l weekly, the latter farm papers with im mense circulations. Thousands of his subscribers fell victim to men with stock schemes and blue-sky sal-s ami thousands of them wrote to tlte editor! and publisher asking his advice. In the1 following he Kives that advice to all who care to read and, as Senator Cap-j per's entire life is indication of rare- j ful advancement, superior business judgment and the confidence of his fel- i low citizens, what he has to say may tie, accepted without hesitation as the ad-! vice of one who knows. j Among all the impressive "evidence; of American solidarity during the' war, hardly any was more awaken-j ing than the subscriptions to the Lib-, erty Loans. The country had not suspected the potential capita! fund: of the American people. It wa amazed by the response of the peo ple to the appeals of the government for funds. And this astonishment grew as one great loan drive fol lowed another in swift succession. There seemed to be no bottom to the popular purse, as there was no fal tering in popular patriotism. .More than 21 million subscribers offered nearly 7 billion dollars for the government bonds. This was the culmination. The fifth loan was for a smaller amount, which was over subscribed, like all its predecessors. Here, out of the income of two years, a minimum of 21 million per sons had subscribed for some 22 bil lions of war loans. Only Books Showed. Until this exhibit of the potential savings or capital fund of the people the only concrete indication of this fund was the books of the savings banks, which prior to the war showed i upwards of 11 million depositors ! with balances of above 5 biHion dol- , lars. And it may be remarked inci dentally here that three years after he war, notwithstanding the huge ; Liberty Bond payments, savings de j posits not only have not declined but have increased by a billion dollars, ; with an increase net of 300,000 de- , positors. The effect produced by this extra ordinary demonstration of the sav ings capacity of the people is seen : in several organizations, govern mental and crivate, since formed to promote saving and thrift, by public I ity propaganda. The Treasury De , partment conducts such a publicity 'campaign, the Reserve Banks also I and one or two private organizations, all urging people to save. It i ctr m L 1 &Kn.$f'-ri' 1 -v " i 7 ID .-.

Billions of dollars wisely invested eevery year which heretofore have been dissipated in speculation will evidently have a capital effect in mit igating panics, business depression and unemployment. An increase, such as it seems there is a opportui ity to secure, in the annual incre ment of saved capital that will be permanently saved by sound invest ment, will by steadily enlarging the national capital fund at a greater rate than heretofore lower the cost and price of capital, give to every kind of legitimate enterprise a greater sense of security and cour age, tend to a steadier employment of labor and to a lowered price level and cost of living and consequently a higher standard of living. The country should not permit the opportunity to slip by which the Liberty Loan experience opens to it of adding yearly to the capital fund the great savings of the people, f systematic, intelligent, organized at tempt should be made to counteract the propaganda of promoters, not merely in the negative way of legis lation against criminal practice, but by positive propaganda setting forth the superior attractions of Safety First in investment. Beware Promoter. It is a large undertaking to get to the people the Safety First idea, but worth whatever effort is neces sary.

He is no mean hypnotist and endeavors to put caution to sleep and by suppression of all conflicting impulses and ideas intensify the pas sion for quick gain. His propaganda is alluring, but there is enticement also in other instincts, in self-preservation, in security, in retaining what one has. These are also primary human instincts and are capable of being played on effectively, if one can get the knack of it.
