RULERS OF AMERICA
Mr. Janies W. Gerard, once
ihjnited States Ambassador to
Germany, made public the other
day a list of 64 men who, he
said were the real rulers of Amer-
ica. There was not a single pol-
itician or office holder in the
list. It was composed of the men
who operate the greatest indus-
tries, banks and newspaper or-
ganizations of the nation.
Some of the nation’s richest
men were on Mr. Gerard s list,
of course; but many men of great
wealth were not included. The
rich men whom he named are
men who actively manage the in-
yestment and operation of their
own wealth, like Henry Ford
arid John D. Rockfeller, Jr. But
■4^1 e grea£ majority of these “Rul-
ers of America” are hired men.
They work for other people, man-
age other people’s money and
property for them.
They rule, or help to rule
America, not because they are
men of wealth, but because they
are men of brains and ability.
Walter P. Gifford, president of
the American Telegraph and Tel-
ephone Company, does not own
as much as one 'percent of the
company which he manages.
Owen D. Young, Chairman of the
General Electric Company, is a
hired man working for the com-
pany’s stockholders. Such pow-
er as these men and others simi-
larly situated exert is theirs be-
cause they have proved their
ability to build and operate great
organizations of capital and
men.
That is the American principle,
to which we all subscribe, that a
man is entitled to go as far as
his individual abilities will per-
mit, provided he does not gain
power at the expense of others.
And it is safe to say that for
sheer ability the men whom Mr.
Gerard calls “Rulers of Amer-
ica” have it all over the general
run of public officials.
MOTOR CAR TAGS TO HAVE
NEW STYLE IN 1931
Austin, Texas.—Texas motor-
ists will carry neat black plates
on their automobiles next year
with white letters and numbers.
There were two noticeable
changes in the “tags” for 1931.
They will be marked “front”
and “rear,” like the present
tags. A front and rear tag are
required, but they are made just
the same, making a saving to the
state of $7,000.
Another change has been made
which is expected to make the
numbers more easily read. As
the Texas numbers now run into
the million, it has been decided
to use letters for hundred thous-
ands.
A tag that would read 142101
under the old system will be
A4-2101. The highway depart-
ment claims it is easier to read
and remember that way. It will
be a memory-breaker, however,
for many motorists who have
been arranging to get the same
number each year. Many mot-
orists did so by making arrange-
ments with the county clerk.
They left him a check for the li-
cense fee. When the number
they wished was reached, the
clerk would set it aside for them.
This year all numbers will be dif-
ferent.
The old practice of retaining
low numbers for “administra-
tion” has been continued. State
Highway Engineer Gibb Gilchrist
insists that motor cops will be
just as diligent to catch a speed-
er with an “ administration ”
number as with any other num-
ber—that it confers no privileges.
There will be 300 of these.
The others are assigned to
counties. Anderson county will
be assigned numbers from 301 to
5500; Bexar county is the first
to get a combination letter and
number tags. They get the tags
from 5-1301 to Al-3300. Dallas
county will have tags from B7-
4501 to C5-0500. Harris county is
assigned the most numbers. They
will be from E7-5901 to F5-9900.
Tarrant county cars will bear
tags from L3-4901 to L85900.
Commercial tags will have
numbers only.

BACK TO CARDUI
flatly Who Had Been In a Run-
Down Condition Tells How;
She Got Well.
Mayo, Fla.—“I was greatly bene-
after I took the Cardui Home
lament,” says Mrs. W. H. Tra-
iwrick. of this place. “For several
months I had been in bad health.
I was run-down and weak.
“I dragged around from day to
day, not feeling fit for anything. My
back ached and often my sides hurt
all night long. I could not sleep,
and my nerves gave me a good deal
of trouble.
“I had used Cardui several years
before for a similar spell, so I got
some for my trouble. I soon re-
covered and felt better than I had
in a long time.
“After taking Cardui for several
jweeks, I began to feel stronger and
to rest better. It is a fine medicine,
and I have recommended it to
friends.”
Thousands of other women have
taken Cardui to help them to build
up their health. The good reports
Which have been received, telling of
the experience of others, should en-
courage you to try Cardui, for your
troubles.
Cardui is a purely vegetable rem-
edy, and contains nothing harmful
►•or injurious. It may be safely taken
by women of all ages.
