PER GAL. BLAST PLUNGES RIVER INTO CANYON WALL HOLE T OMIMPO Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS. w ENRY FORD goee to the hoepltal for an operation for rupture or hernia. If you prefer the somewhat better sounding but not quite ao well known word and all the world knowa about It, for the story goea on every front page In the country. If you or I had gone to the hospi tal, It wouldn't be much of a atory. thy this discrimination? Because Henry Ford la rich and power ful, and ao the newspapers play him up In a slavish effort to flatter blm? ot at all. It la because Henry Ford is one of the best known men In the world,, and news about people varies In Importance In direct ratio to the number of people who know the person about whom the newa la printed. That la a principle that every good news editor understands. WHEN Mr. Ford waa moved Into th hoaoltal. everybody else on the floor to which he waa assigned was moved out. Thla writer, for one, rather wishes that hadn't been done. It would have been more In keeping with his useful and quite eympathetle life if he had preferred to move right In with the rest of the unfortunatea. Aa a matter of fact, he probably WOULD have 'preferred Just that If he had been consulted, but the de cision, waa dou!-'".- made by eome underling weighed down with the idea that the rich and the great must be set apart and made little tin gods of. ' A LOT of things the rich are ac cused of and disliked for are really the ( fault of the sycophantic hired help. Rlh men who are really GREAT are apt to be pretty human and likeable. THE really big man usually knows he Is big, and paye no further attention. He doesn't HAVE to Im press people with his bigness, you see. So he Is Just human and nat ural. , It la the little people who THINK they are big that most of ua dislike. They have to apeVd ' moat of their time impressing the ret of us with their bigness. . THE Baker Democrst-Hcrsld la worried about the present cycle of retrenchment. Every new slash, It says, forces an other slaah. Each person who loses his Job loses his buying power, and hi loss of buying power cut down somebody else'a buying power. And v ao on. Where will It all end?" the Baker paper asks. WELL, It will end' thla way: Someday, Just when thla par ticular writer doesn't pretend to know but THINKS soon, we will find our natural level, where Income and out go will more or leea balance, and when that happen we shall be able to go ahead again. Until that DOES happen, we ahall have to go on retrenching. FOR yeara and years, during the war and Immediately following it, the world waa spending more than It waa earning. Thua an unnatural condition waa being built up. Such things, obviously enough. can't go on forever. If you keep on i taking more water out of a barrel than la put back Into It, the barrel will become empty after a while. Natlona and Individual Just went on apendlng and spending until the barrel ran dry. Now they are having to wait for It to fill up again. W HILS thla spending waa going on, being created every day. More money waa being paid for the old Jobs. Life waa one grand sweet song. Now, having spent too much, and emptying the barrel, we must re trench, for retrenchment la Just a big, flowery term for cutting down on the spending process while we are wait lng for the barrel to fill up again. - When It get full, we will quit retrenching. But not until then. Denny Shute Wins Miami Golf Purse CORAL GABLES. Fia.. Nov. 29. ,1P) Denny Shute, Cleveland.
