HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAR. 7, 1929. PAGE FIVE By Arthur Brisbane A Bank for Brokers. No Arsenic, Please, P. R. Usury Unnecessary. Invest, Do Not Gamble. r..v.. P i 1 Df tieicna icuDinsteitt n In response to warnings from the Federal Reserve, banks withdrew recently, $25,000,000 of call loans. The Idea was "to discourage spec ulation." That speculation keeps big banks and their gigantic profits alive, but that is another story. When loans were called, the rate moved from 6 to 9 per cent Banks calling loans sacrificed 6 per cent on $25,000,000 and made an addi tional 3 per cent on about four bil lions. Even a child on the farm could understand that systematic usury must be harmful. Even as base a thing as a speculator, buying Amer ican securities, should not be robbed too systematically. It Is probable that investigation of the Federal Reserve Banks, and its accidental of intentional promo tion of bank profits, through usury, will follow the latest Federal Re serve action, responsible for a loss, widely scattered, of three or more billions in a few hours. Why do not Stock Exchange men protect themselves and their cus tomers from financial tryanny. They could establish a great bank, es pecially for their own purposes. Compelling brokers to make call loans at that bank, on conservative margins of security, at a fair inter est rate, and dividing proflta among stock exchange members, they . might do something that the Fed eral Reserve evidently cannot do. Controlling a monopoly of call loans, they could sell $1,000,000,000 worth of stock In an hour. If a father to cure his children of overeating, put arsenic In their food, you would say, "Something wrong with that father." When h paternal Federal Reserve Board, mistaking itself for the na tional government, to cure what it considers over - speculation, coins thousands of Investors by forcing usurious interest rates, you say, Something wrong with that Fed eral Reserve Board." The board is unnecessarily excit ed about four or live billion dollars of brokers' loans. Lcained finuncicis should realize that there is money in this country outside of banks' control. Mr. Ecker, vice-president of the Metropolitan Life Company, has shown that the income ot American wage earners Is sixty billions of dollar a year. And they spend fif teen billions less than they earn. Those fifteen billions are three times the total of brokers' loans. A nation that has every year fifteen billions of spending money might borrow a third of its excess annual wealth for Investment, or even for speculation, without making crim inal usury necessary. Wall Street went to work last week convinced that the world had not quite come to an end, and even a benevolent regulating Federal Re serve might be endured. Some for whom this is the begin ning of the Spring lamb season, the unhappy wiped-out minority that tried the "faw down, go broke" ex perience, will know better next time. Others will know better la tor. Invest within your means, in America, and you get rich. Gamble here or anywhere, and gambling gets you. Lady De Bathe died recently at Monto Carlo, In her seventy-seventh year. As Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey Lily, she was known wherever Eng lish is spoken. Her reputation was due largely to her marvelous com plexion, pink and white, NATURAL colors. Such complexions have gone out. Even little girls are daubed and plastered. Up above, (he Jersey Lily has doubtless renewed acquaintance with Albert Edward, who admired her when he was Prince of Wales. Will he look natural, flitting about with white wings and a harp? Prob ably not. And how painful It must be for a sovereign or a famous beau ty to ho just like everybody else. Perhaps even ranking below Moody and Sankey. Those cherries fairly do disclose Of orient pearl a donble row Which, when her lovely laughter shows, They look like rosebuds nll'd with snow. Champion. Teeth are decidedly a permanent part of your anatomy! The skin and Its cells change and with the constant process of rebuilding we are practically re-made every few years. But after baby teeth have gone the permanent set comes; and after that, "your teeth are your teeth, all your life" unless by your neglect you lose them. The tooth-buds of the infant de velop prenatally, many months, In fact, before the child is born. And because of this development the ex pectant mother must begin to build up in her own body the necessary lements required by the child. Calcium, which is richly present in milk, Is one of the most import ant ingredients for the mother to introduce into her own system, for calcium is an actual part of the teeth. If in the last three months that the mother is carrying her ba by she does not make up the ter rific drain made upon her own sys tem for the development of the Ueth and bones of the unborn child, her own bones will become soft thru the absorption of the lime salts from them. After the child is born its milk teeth must be carefully attended to, kept scrupulously clean by brushing with a tiny brush and a little milk of magnesia as early as the first two teeth appear. On the care and the resultant health of these milk teeth depend the strength of the permanent teeth later on. Lime water is often added to the baby's milk on the physician's ad vice. The best and simplest way to care for the new baby's gums is to dip a line piece of sterilized gauze in a little boric acid solution and wash out the Inside of the baby's mouth. One noted medical authority sug gests that mixing calcium (precipi tated chalk) with common salt in the salt shaker will help to insure both child and adult of the required amount of calcium or lime. The contour of the teeth is most important, too, to mouth beauty. So much so, in fact, that I cannot ad vise you too strongly never to per mit your baby to form the habit of sucking its thumb, or to allow paci fiers or a too long use of the nurs ing bottle. Any defect can be cor ected in early life when bones and sinews are soft and plastic. When the child's teeth are out of align ment a dentist who has specialized in orthodontry can advise you sane ly and sensibly on the best method of correction. Prevent Eye Trouble. human body. The eyes are most delicate and sensitive, and their usefulness is easily impaired. It is estimated that over 50 of Impair ed eyesight and the attendant dis comfort, disease and dependency can be prevented. The best artificial lighting system is that nearest to ordinary daylight. The light should come over the left shoulder for right-handed people, and ' over the right shoulder for left-handed people, in order that a shadow be not cast. Faulty vision is sometimes due to eye disease, but is also often due to defects of the eyes which pre vent the rays of light from being properly focussed in the eye. Prop erly fitted eyeglasses, properly worn, will remedy the defect Prop erly fitted eyeglasses not only en able a person with defective vision to see more clearly, but they may improve the general physical con dition. The proper fitting of eye glasses demands expert knowledge and great care. Eyeglasses, the lenses of which are not adapted to the eye, or frames that do not hold glasses in correct position, may do great harm. In the normal eye, by From State Board of Health.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is in duced by a condition where the dis tance from the front to the back of the eye ball Is too long. This causes distant objects to be blurred, and discomfort, headaches and eye strain are experienced. Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is induced by a condition where the distance from the front to back of the eyeball Is too short. This causes close ob jects to appear- blurred, which In turn brings about eyestrain. Astigmatism is Induced by a con dition where the rays of light fall ing upon different parts of the eye are not focussed at the same point, with the result that objects are in distinct and eyesight is impaired. Myopia, Hyperopia and Astigma tism can be remedied by properly fitted eyeglasses.

B. Stalter states that he ex perienced just three days of real winter weather this season, and that was while he was at Seaside, where the snow fell on three days, and then disappeared over night Mr. Stalter has been absent from Heppner for about three months, putting in his time at Portland, Sea side and Tillamook. He returned to Heppner Tuesday morning, and cer tainly shows that he wintered well. While the cold snap was pretty hard on some of the sheepmen, and much work was required in caring for both sheep and lambs, the flock masters have pulled through , in good shape. Orain Wright, of Wright Bios., Rhea creek, who was in town for a short time on Mon day, says that while they had their share of the hard work, spring has opened up nicely out that way, grass getting green on the hills, and all is moving along fine now. Mrs. Ellen Buseick returned home on Tuesday morning from Portland. Since her trip to Honolulu last fall, Mrs. Buseick, with her sister, Mrs. E. F. Day, spent a couple of months at Los Angeles, enjoying the mild winter weather of that part of Cal ifornia, and but recently returned to the home of Mrs. Day in Portland. Pat Connell, Spring Hollow sheep man, was looking after business matters in this city on Tuesday. He is glad that winter is over with spring opening up so nicely out his way.
