The Bishop Walks Out.
Mr. Rockefeller Advises.
Mr. Ford Visits Mr. Curtis
Brain, Money vs. Babies.
Copyright King Features Synd. Inc.
Bishop Jiunes Ciunioii, Jr.,
yesterday declining to answer
the senate lobby committee,
walked out, disregarding orders
to remain. ,
Senator Walsh called it "an
open case of contempt."
Another case of contempt
sent a well known oil man to
jail.'; But any lobby committee
would realize that an oil man
playing the races is different
from a bishop "playing" t'ie
stock market.

John D. Rockefeller lives
quietly, plays golf, leaving meu
, younger than 91 to run Stand
ard Oil. But he keeps track
of the world and when he ad
vises he advises wisely. Much
wisdom was condensed into the
few words he said to a player
in his foresomc, "be deliberate"
and "talk less and play bet
ter." That is a good ''how to
succeed " recipe. ...
Henry Ford, . going to visit
Cyrus II. K. Curtis, arrives just
in tinie to read' an editorial pub
lished by Mr. Curtiss that will
surprise 'M r. Ford.
It says: "Prohibition reform
is going over." And "Nothing
can stop the growing intent of
the people of the United States
to preserve the good of the cx
periri'icnt, noble, in -motive, but
to end its unexpected and un
aeeessary evils.":
Henry Ford, litis said that if
prohibition went and beer came
back he, Mr. Ford, would close
his factories, 'because men with
beer can't work fast enough
to keep pace with modern ma
chinery. Cyrus II.. K. Curtis also owns
modern, rapid machinery. He
and Mr. Ford might have an in
teresting discussion if they
could get their minds off ad
vertising. Young Indies, grniluiitiii in
a college for Vv'Onicn,nre urged
by the Kev. Dr. Robert Par
rish to "l)e brain and money
women."
Wc owe much of education,
science and art to rich men,
says the doctor, and liiust not
"despise wealth."
No tendency ' to' ' despise
wealth is visible in this coun
try. But many, still maintain
that the "brain and money
woman" is not as desirable as
the "church and-baby woman."
