That is not the reasom. The reputable newspaper, especially where every- cne is a neighbor to everyone else, takes no delight in giving publicity to those things that have brought disgrace to some family or heart- ache to some wife or mother. It is much more pleasant, and dces not leave a bad taste in the mouth, to record the good things to happen, to tell of the incidents that tend to make life more endurable and that uplift rather than tear down, that bring joy instead of heartaches. We appreciate any item of local interest unless that item digs into and lays bear those things over which a mother, a wife, husband or father may have beem racked with sorrow and humiliation.

The stock markets are inact- ive but the tone generally Is falr- | ly satisfactory, Gilt-edged securi- ties are firm and some industrials have been actively supported. The Government has announced its in- tention of paying off the 5b per cent, and 4 per cent. National War Bonds due 1st October next, It is estimated that not more than 20,- 000,000 pounds of these securities is outstanding.

An increased demand is noted in the textile industry and wholesale trade shows improvement The wheat harvest is well under way and the largest crop since 1922 is anticipated, Despite the detri- mental influence of the Spring floods upon the cotton yield, there are now indications of improve- ment. The lowering of the re-dis- count rates and the general ease in qunoney have been reflected In rising bond prices and in the de- mand for high grade investment stocks. # France Owing to the adjournment of the Chamber and the holiday season, conditions generally are quiet.

With the privilege of a fellow- swimmer, Miss Hertle lifted the arm of the sturdy victor to test how the strain of his long grind In the water had affected his shoulder muscles, He winced. "My shoulder muscles aren't sore," and swinging her arms she gave a demonstration of the truth of her boast, Swan Only 14 Miles, "But you swam only 14 miles. I swam 21," he explained, And then they were deep In conversation about the epic event of the day be- fore. Miss Hertle was the first of Vierkoetter's 'rivals' In the race call tn congratulate him on his magni- ficent performance. Rivals' is put in quotation marks because, ale though Miss Hertle followed Vier- koetter in second place for a long stretch of the course, she stated last night that she had not entertained any ambition to beat the champion, but had almed more to contest the swim against the oth- er woman entrants, If Miss Hertle received an enthu- silastic and friendly welcome from the winner, the hundreds of con- gratulatory friends who visited him at his quarters were cordially met hy Vierkoetter also, Last night the large parlor of the house was crowded with friends, many bearing huge bouquets of flowers and all eager to shake his hand, "We looked on George Young as Ernst's most formidable rival in the swim," Vincent stated. He explained that most of the other swimmers' performances had been closely watched and studied and the con- clusion arrived at that the only contestant feared was the conqueror of the Catalina Channel. "We saw that Young was the man to beat. He Is a natural swimmer. But he had seldom, if ever, beep d. And we thought that if Vierkoetter could pass him after the awim was well under way it would prove a valuable advantage." Feit No Excitement, Vierkoetter himself stated that be did not feel any excitement of a competitive nature, nor did he endeavor to figure out where the other swimmers were In the race. "He swims. I worry," Barenchel put in. Sprinting to catch up with or race another swimmer was not a good thing, Bernschel added, as it tended to make the swimmer nerv- ous. Hard Swim. Vierkoetter said that the mara- thon had proved a hander swim than the English Channel. There were advantages and disadvantages I Sram ---- aa in both tests. The long swells of the Channel tended to make the long-distance swimmer seasick. On the other hand, there was absent the disconcerting elements of com- petitors and the choppy waves, in which he trained rather difficult. The temperature of the lake ater on Wednesday had not proved a great handicap to him, he sald, because the Rhine, where he had done a great deal of his swimming, had frequently beens colder. | "Good Sportsmen.' "Good sportsmen,' This is what Vierkoetter thinks of those roaring crowds who thun- dered greeting when he crawled his way to victory; of hundreds who since that epic hour of conquest have flooded him with felicitations, with flowers, with other presents; of those scores of fellow-swimmers who, in the sad aftermath of defeat, wrote, wired, phoned and sald, "Congratulations." All day yesterday the German tasted the fruits of victory. From morn till night his quarters on the Lake Shore Boulevard were hesleg- ed by friends, by admirers, by mes- sengers carrying gifts and words of greeting, And through it all Vierkoetter stands smiling, pleasant, unassum- ing. This is no haughty conqueror ----one who would emphasize: "I am Vierkoetter the Great." Rather, he bears the laurels of the victor mod- estly. 'e "What," Vierkoetter was asked, "do you think of that crowd?" He smiled, and his good left eye glistened. "Good sportsmen," he declared. "Could you have swum much far- ther?" "Yes," sald Vierkoetter, simply. "How much farther?" © "That is hard to say," was the re- ply. "You know, there are so many things to consider." "A mile? Five miles?" Lewes ask- od, "Five miles? was the answer, ra S-- Yes, I think so," Pinkley: "Hvery time I meet Brown I have to listen to all his complaints--his heart is bad, his liver ont of order, stomach upset, and son on." Wrinkley: "A regu- lar organ recital, eh?"
