Princess and Countess Hutton
fTVEN Homer nods. Even Will
-J on the wrong foot. We so regard his defense of Countess
Kurt Haugwitz-Rcventlow, formerly Princess Barbara Hutton
Mdivani, in his daily feature of yesterday.
Instead of patting the five and ten heiress, on the back, as
she takes her second titled husband, 24 hours after divorcing
her first, and chiding her critics for not letting Barbara go her
own sweet way, the patting in our humble judgment should have
been elsewhere, and with the back of a firmly wielded hair brush.
OP course what Barbara does with her money and her own
lifn i Will Ropers states, her own business. But whv
commend it, when there is nothing in it to commend. Far better
sense, in our judgment, to say nothing about the course the
richest young matron in the country is pursuing, or if comment
appears necessary, then state the obvious truth, which is that
the example she is setting is a bad one.
For it is, and it is particularly bad at the present time. The
spectacle of the Wool worth heiress, taking up with one broken
down title and then another, scurrying hither and yon over the
face of the earth, with only one aim in view, to have via lavish
and ostentatious expenditures what she calls "good time", is
neither edifying, commendable, nor as Mr. Rogers implies,
harmless.
TOR while a private citizen and entitled to the rights and
A privileges of a private citizen, the "richest woman in the
world can't escape a certain public and social responsibility,
and can't be or should not be indifferent to the fact that
what she does or does not do with her money, is bound to he
taken as typical and representative of her class.
This mad rush along the primrose path, with chartered
trains, high-powered cars and bodyguards, changing husbands
at the cross-roads, whoopee banquets at sea and royal suites on
the land, a family jester to prevent boredom, and all the furbe
lows and trappings of an "American Mahareena", would be in
questionable taste at any time; but today, with most of the
world in acute distress, with millions in want and more millions
idle; it censes to he solely a mHtter of private manners, and
unmistakably invades the realm of public MORALS.
IT is our considered judgment that the publicity given the
A Princess-Countess Hutton, and this publicity CAN'T be
avoided, will do as much to arouse class hatred, increase social
discontent and unrest, in this country, as all the table thumpings
and demagogic. bleatings, that even our own Huey the Kingfish
can muster. Moreover such examples will certainly be used,
directly or indirectly, by Huey and his ilk, in pressing down on
their vote catching slogans, and vitalizing their doctrine of
division of wenlth, and increasing
to the point of confiscation., Such examples of the waste and
misuse of inherited riches, are all grist for the demagogue's mill.
No, we have no desire to intrude upon the private affairs
of "Miss Barbarn" Hutton or
affairs are made, the subject of public and playful COMMEN
DATION, we do feel, the other side, and what appears to us
the more important side of the picture should be given.
More Motor
IF this keeps up the Jacksonville Highway will soon be known
as Death Highway. There have been three serious motor
accidents on this short stretch of paved road to the old county
seat, in less than a week, one of them fatal.
Just why there should be so many more accidents on this
short and uncontested highway than there are on the main
Pacific Highway is not clear, but we have an idea this absence
of crowded traffic is a factor. The average motorist appears
to feel he is off the main thoroughfare and out in the country
when he hits the J'ville road, and the usual care need not bo
exercised.
Of course nothing could be further from the truth. While
not a main artery the Jacksonville road is well travelled both
night and day, and with its many side-roads and at least one
sharp curve not properly hanked it is a highway that should
be travelled with care at all times.
IN our opinion the one chief cause of accidents on this road,
as on many others is the foolhardy habit of trying to pass
a car, when it is not KNOWN the highway is clear ahead.
Tt is amazing how many supposedly good motorists persist
ently do this. It is the most dangerous thing any motorist can
do, particularly on a comparatively narrow highway like the
one to Jacksonville.
If this one practice could be effectively stopped, we believe
it would do more to prevent tragedies on the highways than
anything else.
Before you pass any car, see that the road is absolutely clear
ahead, not only clear of cars coming in the opposite direction,
but clear of pedestrians or cyclists, or stock, lcar of every
thing. And never try to pass a car, when this is NOT the condition.
Let motorists in general adhere strictly to this rule, under
all conditions ami at all times, and we have no doubt there
would be a marked decline in motor fatalities at once.

THE LEAN AND
Some thin subjects are lean be
cause they are haggard. Nothing we
can do about It when we shake out
the sheets and
come upon such
a subject. It l.i a
problem for a
real doctor. By a
thorough medical
examination the
doctor may find
out what alls the
poor thing and
prescribe the
necessary treat
ment. Soma thin sub.
Jects are haggard
because they are
lean. What I mean is, they look and
feel frail, weak and sad because
they have defective nutrition.
You dumb laymen will not quite
apprehend what I mean when I say
nutrition, but can't atop to explain
that all over again every time we
refer to It. Suffice that It well, old
Noah Webster explains It neatly
enough In the 1934 New Interna
tional The sum of the processes by
which an animal or plant absorbs or
takes In and utilizes food substances.
So It Isn't merely a matter of get
ting the proper food, nor Is It often
matter of having a hearty appe
tite. For example one may be many
pounds underweight In spite of the
best food and a good appetite, when
one's Internal secretion of Insulin
happens to be deficient.
Insulin treatment, which any phy
sician may give but no layman can
safely take on his own responsi
bility, has added desirable poundage
and still more desirable strength and
vl tr. 11 ty In thousands of cases of
simple physical fraylty. Don't let any
one tell you that Insulin can be
used only when the patient has dia
betes, nor that It Is dangerous when
administered by or under the super
vision of the physician, nor that one
can possibly become habituated to
Insulin. Some atrociously thin per
sons pick up weight steadily If they
take, aay, half an ounce of yeast
daily. This we learned before we
knew anything about vitamins. Now
we believe It Is the vitamin B in
yeast that accounts for the effect.
But yeast Is not a natural food for
man. A natural food which Is rich
in vitamin B (aa well as vitamin O
and vitamin E and some vitamin A)

NEW YORK, May 15. The police
are mnklng It Increasingly difficult
for the ladles who live lightly to con
tinue to reside
In areas hitherto
distinguished for
their respectabil
ity. The depres
sion and many
unoccupied flats
made it possible
for them to btir

As the result of
the let-down se
date tenants sxid
denly heard
strange men pass
ing through their
halls at unseemly hours and string
orchestras arriving at all times of
night. Staid workers found them
selves In tire early morning elevators
with tipsy fellows departing In silk
hats.
So the patrol wagons began to back
up and carry away the merrymakers.
The deradence was so sudden two
upper West Side residential blocks,
long known for their gentle domestic
demeanor, bfcame so flaurantly baw
dy as the old Red Light section In
the 3 Os.
In tli days of lesser regulations,
men caught In the deml-montialne
raids were Jockeyed to the rear en
trance and told to vamoose. The
woman paid. But today no one es
capes. Everybody found in a sus
pected apartment has to drve down
town and say good morning to the
Judge .
The passing of Elinor Olyn's sis

vivid dressmaking establishment on
the upper avenue known as "Lucille.'
She was the first to display the man

Judgment this natural food Is prefer

the best medical authority, that ft
fair ration of all the vitamins is
more effective in any case than Is a
large dose of one or two vitamins.
Wherever we find In the state of nu
trition reason to believe there Is a
partial lark of any particular vita

there is also a shortage of other
vitamins, since In nature vitamins
do not occur separately but always
In combinations of two or more. It
is only an old medical custom to
try to refine this vitamin therapy
and prescribe so many "unita" ot
this or that vitamin for specific "In

accessories and It U rather absurd
to make medicine of them.

to boost her price to 2, install four
extra tables and admit only those
who had cards from him and their
friends. Thus a carefully selected

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
TIMELY headline: "Bell Hop Driven
Insane by Chain Letter Craze."
Nothing particularly unusual about
that. The chain letter craze la Just
another scheme to make people think
they can get something for nothing,
and a lot of poor unfortunates have
been driven crazy by that hope.
SOMETHING for nothing! What a
lure that has held down through
the ages.
If people would work as hard and
scheme as hard to get ahead In the
world LEGITIMATELY as they do to
get something for nothing, there
would be far fewer failures.
HpHE Idea Is widely spread in these
days that it Is foolish to work,
but If you're wise you won't take
stock In any auch tommyrot.
Here's a suggestion: Put down to
day the names of 100 of your
acquaintances. Then, ten years hence.
check up on the list. You'll find that
thoee who have worked hard and
saved their money and Invested It
wisely are FAR ahead of those who
have spent their time trying to get
something for nothing, or who have
said to themselves that the world
owes them a living and that they're
going to collect It.
4-4
A LL the progress the world has
made since it. began has come
about because somebody worked hard
or thought hard, and In spite of all
the silly talk- to the contrary that
fundamental fact hasn't changed.
THIS writer believes that every man
is entitled to all he can make
HONESTLY during a lifetime of hard
work, but Is compelled at times to
doubt the wisdom of permitting hard
working lndlvidtials to pass on great
wealth to idle and silly descendants
who had no share In the CREATION
of that wealth.
There la Barbara Hut ton's father,
for example. He worked hard, helped
to build up a great business that pro
vided employment td thousapds of
people, and made a lot of money for
himself. Now Barbara, who didn't
help make It. Is SPENDING It, and
doing about as foolish a Job of it as
could be imagined,
IT Is hers, of course, because her
father made It and gave it to her.
and because It la hers It is to be
presumed that she has the right to do
with It as she pleases.
But that doesn't raise one's opinion ,
of Barbara, nor does tt alter the fact
that silly spending by idlers who have
INHERITED great wealth that they
did not help to create puts into the
hands of radicals one of their most
convincing arguments against the In
stitution of capitalism.
Communications
To the Editor:
Our Ia3t fle years experience alonjr
economic lines should furnish ample
proof of the fallibility of our govern
ment; that it is, in fact no abler,
wiser or efficient than the people who
compos it.
At the height of the depression we
elect a President who unbluahingly
declares his Itmorance of economics
and his Inability to solve the prob
lem. He surrounds himself with pro
fessors who boost of their economic
wisdom, but whose academical theo
ries fall to materialize in actual prac
tice. But fortunately we have nature to
fall back on. and her processes arc
slowly working us out of this de
pression, the real cause of which
waa the great nation wide land boom
that caused values to soar beyond
the ability of labor and capital to
earn on. These values are now
shrinking to a level where labor and
capital can once more resume oport
tlons on a profitable basis and busi
ness is slowly reviving.
It Is up to us however, to prevent
a repetition of this disaster by re
forming our land policy so as to make
gambling in the resources of nature
unprofitable. Thla can be done by
collecting the annvial rent of land for
expenses of government to the ex
clusion of all other taxes.
We now take In taxes a portion of
the land rent. The selling price of
land is the difference between whU
Is now collected and what ta retain
ed by the individual, capitalized If
we take it all. there will be nothlnr.
left to capitAlire and the problem wl'i
be solved.
Henry George understood the situ
ation perfectly and had we follow.!
his advice thla depiction would
never have happened. But after som?
more painful lesions, we may yet
hall him as our economic savior.

angle of the situation appears to b
that some of these officials should

Th most closely guarded secret at
relief headquarters is what wage rare
la going to be paid. You may recall
that the senate fought for weeks
about it and then passed the buck.
Since then the relief crowd thought
several times It had the solution, but
each time the solution was torn up.
A leak on one of there early tentative
decisions ha caused the outfit to be
wary.
The only thing certain now is that
no flat wage scale will be paid for the
nation as a whole. The proposed $50
a month average will mean nothing
because most workers will get either
more or less. Scales wlU oe adjusted
generally so they will be slightly low
er than prevailing wages in mcst lo
calities. They will be adjusted also sa
to different kinds of work. For in
stance, a plumber in New York will
get more than a ditch digger in a
rural town. Furthermore, relief em
plovment will be staggered so to
conflict with wages paid by private
industry.

And here each hour, o mother dear.

And hope that you mny know, and
