YORK.—In 1929, at the age
seventy-one, Frederick .H.
the Boston banker, was still
polo. He has great faith in
the durability of

as long as they be­

have themselves.
He left for Europe to forget about
business for a while and intimates
that it wc^ild be a good thing if the
government would be similarly neg­
lectful. “Washington should stop
trying to reform business and leave
the situation to time,” he says.
Time has treated him nicely and
he may well give it a testimonial.
At seventy-nine, he is the grand
seigneur of American business. Only
four years ago, he engaged in a
hard-hitting slugfest over the con­
trol of Armour & Co.
He got what he was after—the
chairmanship of the board. He has
many such trophies, having con­
trolled 46 railroads, and, in general,
one of the biggest cuts in the Amer­
ican dream of any man of his day.
His (mainly liquid) fortune is esti­
mated at around $250,000,000. But,
for many years,

is revealing in connection with his
ideas about money and success. He
emphasizes the dynamics of money.
It isn’t money unless it is working.
Stagnant money just dries up and
blows away. Hence you draw cards
even if you do have to drag a few
chips for markers.
He’s a little too heavy for polo,
with a massive gray head, deep
sunken, pondering eyes, and heavy,
gray moustache; a bit grim, per­
haps, but not formidable. When,
early in October, 1929, a small black
cloud appeared on the horizon, he
viewed it with a telescopic eye, saw
it for what it was, and got out of
the market.
The cyclone never touched him.
Until a few years ago, he was still
riding to the hounds at Pau, in
southern France, master of the hunt.
He has marble palaces here and
there, one of them the former man­
sion of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, at
Newport. Remarking that he has
been in business 55 years, he says
this little squall will blow over in
two or three months.

'T'HE reason isn’t quite clear, but,
these days, the colleges compete
for tuba players as well as athletes.

scramble for stu­
dents in the annual report of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad­
vancement of Teaching, of which he
is president. The fight seems to be
entirely in the field of extra-curricu­
lar activities. No mere scholar gets
competing bids from rival faculties.
Since he became head of the Car­
negie foundation, in 1933, Dr. Jessup
has been a consistent deflationist, so
far as education is concerned. He
wants fewer and better students in
the colleges. He assails the col­
leges which would “teach anybody
anything.” He is against education­
al trimmings, excrescences and
gadgets, as the little Scotch iron­
master doubtless would be if he
were looking over the current scene.
Other leading educators join him
in this, but the big mill has to have
plenty of raw ma­

plant.
So they go after even the tuba play­
ers. At any rate, each can blow its
own horn.
Dr. Jessup was president of the
University of Iowa from 1916 to 1933.
A native of Richmond, Ind., he was
educated at Earlham college and
Columbia and gathered several
honorary degrees in later years. He
was superintendent of schools in In­
diana and dean of the college of
education of Indiana university. He
has won high distinction in the edu­
cational field and is the author of a
book on arithmetic.
One gathers that he would not
recommend Benny Goodman for a
college faculty and that quite prob­
ably the next Carnegie report may
find adversely on the shag, the eep-
er and the susy-q. He is for low
kicking and high thinking, as
against the prevailing reversal of
this formula.

Giants Short Lived
The circus giant, the man with
abnormally long legs or other ab­
normalities of frame, is a short­
lived human. Tall men fall into
two classes, those who attain their
extraordinary growth because of in­
herited tendencies and those who
become freaks because of some up­
set in the glandular functions. The
man who “comes by his height nat­
urally” usually lives a normal life
span, but the freak seldom attains
middle age. An insurance compa­
ny, given to research in such mat­
ters, found that a number of men
ranging from 7 feet 6 inches tall to
8 feet 7 inches had an average life
of thirty-four years. The oldest died
at forty-five, the youngest at twen­
ty-seven.
A/fAKING an old fashioned silk
•I’* crazy patch quilt is a simply
fascinating thing to do. From
the moment you start collecting
bits of silk and satin and velvet
until the second you invent your
last combination of embroidery
stitches it holds your interest.
This type of quilt is not quilted
after piecing, but tied like a com­
forter. No padding is needed if
soft warm material is used for the
foundation. The pieces are always
in irregular shapes—often very
tiny and the largest is seldom
more than four or five inches
long. They are pinned or basted to
a foundation of soft muslin, flan­
nel or an old wool blanket is good
to use. One patch shown here is
a piece of ribbon and the selvages
are not turned or covered. It is
best to arrange a number of
patches before you start to sew
them in place with the embroidery
stitches.
The embroidery is really used
to give balance and unity to the
whole design. If a patch seems
too light make it darker by em­
broidering it in dark thread. If
it seems too plain you can trace
the little forget-me-not design
shown here onto it and embroider
it in natural colors or use some
of the more simple designs shown
here as fillers.
Many more authentic old patch­
work stitches are in a new leaflet
which is now included with the
book offered herewith. This book
also tells you how the draperies in
today’s sketch are interlined.

Intestines to

The speed with which Bayer tab­
lets act in relieving the distressing
symptoms of colds and accompany­
ing sore throat is utterly amazing
. . . and the treatment is simple
and pleasant. This is all you do.
Crush and dissolve three genuine
Bayer Aspirin tablets in one-third
glass of water. Then gargle with
this mixture twice, holding your
head well back.
This medicinal gargle will act
almost like a local anesthetic on
the sore, irritated membrane of
your throat. Pain eases promptly;
rawness is relieved.
You will say it is remarkable.
And the few cents it costs effects
a big saving over expensive “throat
gargles” and strong medicines.
Ana when you buy, see that you
get genuine BAYER ASPIRIN.
Advising people not to worry
seems as sensible as advising
them not to get tired.
The friend who “wears well,” is
usually not highly emotional, but
where you expect to find him,
there he is.
A man who shows courage in an
emergency soon doesn’t lack for
followers.
