Ull left on the evening train yesterday for Portland. SUBSCRIBER asks just what crime Samuel Insull commit- any. We believe the technical charge it using the mails to defraud. But as previously stated in this column, we shall not be sur prised if he is acquitted. Our view of the case which may or may not be correct, is that Insull is neither a crook nor a swindler. He is or wa just a typical promoter, with acquisition of money and power, as his sole objective in life. He played the game selfishly, greedily, but not in an essential sense, DIFFERENTLY, from the way it bad been played for generations, and particularly during the golden days of the Harding and Ooolidge administrations. He wanted to make money he wanted to make it quickly and in large quantities. He was shrewd, resourceful and really knew, the light and power business. But he quickly lost interest in that business as a medium of service, to the people; and became interested in it, solely as a means of getting money from their pockets into HIS. esse ' -hAT was his crime. But when he was functioning so bril- liantly it was not so considered. Scores of big bankers and market manipulators on Wall Street had done and were doing the same thing. Just what was it f Well, it's a long and highly involved story, but briefly it consisted largely of stock manipulation through holding companies and investment trust. It was only six or seven years ago that Samuel Insull formed two companies known as Insull Utility Investments, Inc., and Corporation Securities Company of Chicago. These companies operated no utilities, did nothing in fact but deal in stocks, and these stocks were of the Middle West Utilities and various asso ciated companies, owned largely by Insull, his associates and bis family. Insull for example transferred his Middlewest stocks to Insull Utility Investments, and received from Insull Utility Investments, nearly a million shares of common Btock, and war rants to purchase more stock aggregating another million. . JUST to show bow fast Insull worked, this new company was orcrnnizerl December 27. 1928 and bv Januarv 17. 1929 all preliminaries were completed. The next day this new stock went on the Chicago Stock exchange. It all being held by the Insull family, Insull of course could dictate the price at which it was to be offered. Holding a high position in Chicago business life, enjoying tremendous prestige, with plenty of newspaper space available, this stock sold the first day at $30 a share; THIS WAS FOUR AND A HALF TIMES THE PRICE AT WHICH THE STOCK HAD BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE INSULLS, ON JANUARY 11TII, JUST SLX DAYS BEFORE! . The next day the price went up to $40. EVENTUALLY the stock reached $149 per share. Then there were the warrants, entitling the holder to buy common stock at $12 to $15 a share, within a given period which could be sold at that time for ten times as much. Need less to say such warrants were in great demand and soon were, quoted as high as the stock. To further stimulate the market, a professor at the Univer sity of Chicago was called in and went on the air as the "Old Counselor," a dignified and conservative expert on stocks and bonds. The Insull group wrote his speeches for him all de signed to play up the great value of Insull offerings, and the Old Counselor delivered them. The dear people also the dear saps, fairly rushed brokers' offices to get their savings into these rapidly mounting secur ities, and Samuell Insull, his family and a few other insiders, saw not only millions, but billions, coining their way. . e a OT content with this, Insull sold stock in this Insull Utility Investments to his Corporation Securities company. This stock which cost Insull from $12 to $15 a share, was nannea over to the latter company FOR $100 A SHARE Peter paying Paul or Paul paying Peter, at any rate a Btock kiting and stock manipulation racket, that garnered a few insiders millions, without RENDERING A USEFUL SERVICE OF ANY KIND, and taking those millions from the pockets of the people. . 'TVTOTHING but highway robbery." That would be the popu- ' lar reaction to such get-rieh-quick graft. And morally that may be true. But NOT legally. At least not legally under the old deal, and only legally wheu President Roosevelt came in with his New Deal, and proceeded to secure such rules and regulations as should render any repetition of the rise and fall of the "Insull empire'' impossible. Those who believe in nigged individualism as exemplified by high financiers like Insull, and oppose what is called "regi mentation" by the critics of the present administration, will naturally oppose the permanence or any further development of the New Deal. Those who believe such rugged individualism should go, yield before a "regimentation," that would outlaw such prac tices, will naturally be for it. This is one of the main issues in the present congressional campaign.

Will you pi cam tell me. uks an eastern correspondent, If children born of nearsighted parent would have defective vision- I am otherwlas as physically perfect as right living and correct diet makes possible. Mrs. J. L. M. If both parents are nearsighted the children are quite- likely to be nearsighted. This Is mainly a ques tion of physical reaemblance. The form of the child's body Is likely to bear a resemblance to the physical type of one or both parenta. The general shape of the skull largely determines near-stghted-ness or myopia. The nearsighted or myopic Individual hes a long skull and a relatively long eyeball. A dif ference of a hair's breadth In the length of the eyeball makes a great difference In the vision. Almost dally inquiries come from or concerning the question of glasses for young persons who are near sighted. There seems to be a per sistent delusion that putting glasses on a young child "weakens" the eye sight. The truth la that the proper glasses conserve the child's vision, when there Is a high degree of myopia or nearsightedness. The lenses serve to save strain on the focusing power. proper glsssea keep such a child in more intimate touch with the world around him. They help him to learn. They prevent the child from acquiring me man expression that a young person is likely to acquire when he or she falls to see clearly the expres sion on the faces of those about him and so does not reflect or respond to such Impressions In his own expres sion, proper glasses prevent the near sighted child from getting the reputa tion of a dumb or dull child. In school and elsewhere. Proper glasses enable the nearsighted child to see what the pla-y or games of his companions are all about and to take part In such healthful activities Instead of moping by himself or herself, with shoulders hunched over a book. In my opinion the eye physician Is best qualified to measure the near sighted child's vision and to decide about the strength of lenses the child should wear. Not only Is such care necessary, but X believe the usa of drops by the eye physician. In order to determine what the eye can do without unconscious straining. Is In Itself of great value, because It gives the eyes a rest for a few days, and rest from all near work is the best thing that can happen to near sighted eyes. The near-sighted child should be encouraged to play and live In the open. He or she must be strictly limited to the amount of reading, sewing or other near work the physic ian deems safe. It is of great Im portance to provide the proper light ing for the near work such a child does. This, too, the physician should explain to the parent. QUESTIONS ANI ANSWERS. Bread or Taters. Is whole wheat bread fattening? Is It more or less fattening than white bread. Miss E. P. T. . Answer They are practically the same in that respect, the white bread perhaps having the edge In nutritive value or fattening effect. Potato la as fattening than bread. Can a Hospital Practice? Let me know whether the hos' pital at uses the diathermy method for removing tonsils. It takes tonsil cases for 915 .. , Mrs. B. E. Answer No, such second rate Insti tutions have to use the old Spanish method It Is so much easier -and quicker for the apprentice surgeons and they can deal with the trade In mass or wholesale. Some of the medi cal parasites that Infest such places ao give the likely looking customers the high sign and sneak 'em around to the office, where they pretend to give diathermy treatment. Ifa a great racket. Record Low Kate. I gave birth to a baby In 1029. in Iowa. A private room in the hospital cost me 93.60 a day, and 61 a day for the baby, and the delivery room cost me $7 and the doctor's bill came to only $30. So I know not all hos pital are high In charges , . . Mrs. M. B. Answer That hospital must have a large endowment. It la Impossible to conduct a hospital on such terms If It Is self-supporting.

New Yorkers have re-dlscovered Mexico City aa a playground. Just as the famous Aztec capital seemed to have settled down to c h ron tc decsd. ence. it suddenly geysered Into so cial activity. The state of the American dollar sbsoad had mucn to do with the in flux. But the bigger reason was the magnificent mo- -J tor road that has opened up along the 700 miles from Laredo. Texas, to the Chapultepec area. The drive and scenes winding through the cowling hills have been compared by travelers to Amalfl, Cor ntche, the Alps or the glamorous road from Bet nit to Damascus. Anyway all the Mexico City hotels are filled, and for the first time in nine years new hotels and other buiia- Inga are ftolng tip. Even the long uncompleted opera, so long a mid town eye sore, has again received the attention of the builders. And ex pects to open this wlnteT. Mexico City's broad avenues, tree lined, have alwavs been remindful of Paris. Back of them too are the nar row, twisting streets of the French capital. Also there are the sidewalk cafes. So long has the city been pros trate, that even the restoration of normal business suggest a super boom.

A cougar la a cleanly animal, as are all cats whereaa a hog is about as dirty as an animal could be. Yet pork Is a staple article of diet, relished by nearly everybody, where as the thought of cat meat turn most people's stomachs. THE THOUGHT of eating horse meat la distasteful to nearly all Americans, although horse meat Is & standard food In many European countries notably in France, which Is generally regarded aa the home or dainty cooking. The fact is that for countless thousands of yesrs our remote ances tors subsisted largely on the little three-toed eohlppus, which was the ancestor of tha modern horse. So there's nothing in heredity to make us dislike horse meat. IF YOU grew up on a farm, did you ever have a pet pig or a pet calf that waa later slaughtered for the famlly'a winter meat? If eo, you probably couldn't bring yourself to eat It. It waa a PET. Horses are pets. Cats sre pets. Dogs are pets. Eating pet, seems to most of us to border on cannibalism. That probably helps to explain our prejudice against eating the meat of these animals. SPEAKING of"eatlng. there's a lot of talk of high-priced foods this year because of the drouth. An exceedingly well-informed gro cer said to this writer the other day: "Most of this talk of shortage oi standard foods because of the drouth is hokum, peddled for the purpose of boosting prices. "There haa been a drouth back m the Middle West, of course, but it waa spotted. Some sections had poor crops, but ethers had good ones. There lsn t going to be any food shortage this year, or even any acute scarcity." ii A IT of PeP18 8eni to have the Idea that they must buy food now to keep from going hungry later. That is all foolishness. There's going to be plenty of food to go around. "My advice to people Is to buy no more now than they are normally In the habit of buying. If you are accustomed to buying staples by the case, for CONVENIENCE, go on buy ing that way, for case buying is cheaper and handler. "But DON'T buy a lot of rood ahead with the Idea that there wilt be none to be had later, for that Isn't true."
