Today By Arthur Brisbane In the Heart, in the Street Smallpox Is Serious. Fish for Ex-Presidents. Bandits Get What They Want. (Copyright by King Feature (Syndicate, Inc.) It lias ruined in Wall Street steadily for about a week, aud : speculators have been saying with Yorlainc, "It rains in my heart, as it rains in the street." Tuesday weather and Wall Street were a little brighter, .-'rain stopped, money for specu lation was cheaper, prices went up, 3,1-46,000 shares were sold, and brokers who want to sec seats rise from $500,000 to $1, 000,000 each felt more cheerful. Onoe a "1,000,000 share day" was wonderful. Now a "2,000. 000 share day" is a disaster. .We easily get used to pros perity and want more of it. The French take smallpox se riously for good reasons. In the war of 1876 every man in the German army was vaccinat ed, and uot one mau developed smallpox. In the French army few were vaccinated, and thousands hud smallpox. There is no THE ORY " about that,. Sniullpox has been spreading ' iu England, in regions where vaccination has Ijcen'ncglcctcd, and the French hurriedly an , iiouneed that no -Englishman I might land on French soil un- I, less he had been vaccinated i, wlithin two moiiths.v,This ap- , plies to American tourists com ing through England-' . Later the vaccination rule ; was abolished, 'the French hay ! ing decided to risk a little smallpox rather than shut out - British and American tourists' cash. France takes smallpox and vaccination seriously. Brit ain will do the same after a few more die. Connecticut's legislature, by ; a rising vote,, enabled Calvin Coolidgc to fish anywhere in I Connecticut. 1 That's pleasant, but an cx- r" IVcsidcnt cannot live on fish. ,' The people, by a rising vole, ought to give ex-Presidents u pension ol: at least $75,000 a ; year. , 4t The criminal means to get what he is after. ' In the, heart yf New York five bandits shot a policeman and a bank messen ger and escaped 'with a $38, 302.00 'payroll. Trained in the bootleg school, criminals present a problem that this country must deal with before long.
