Back to Manhattan sped Joe Day with the Government's guarantee in his pocket. Not from Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. (of which he is a director) did he get his loan. He went, instead, to see President Thomas A. Buckner of New York Life. New York Life's Board, on which sit such G. O. Partisans as Herbert Hoover, Nicholas Murray Butler and Charles D.

Money in his pocket led him to many a naive taste but none worth headlines. He took to wearing pink and red shirts, fussed about his tailoring. In London he bought a Rolls-Royce, which still impresses him greatly. Until lately he has taken little pains with his English...
