London, the whilom adventurer and
magazine writer, that his crew has

lege deplores the passing of power
from the cream of society, meaning
the wealthy, to the Tower classes, :"
meaning the workingman. If it were
really true that wealth is losing its
power, the country should be congra-
tulated The evident snobbishness of
the professor from Harvard could then
be overlooked.

Next to having money, the most
important thing is how to take care
of it-how best to invest it.
