That this was true of at least two

m%ultitudes, we forget each other too
often in life and in death.
When a man dies among two or three
in a little community, it is a tragedy.

spirit; 1t bows the head in reverence
and humility and sympathy.
But when one dies among 5000, 900,

mighty mass that it is difficult to re-
member that the atom ever lived or
even died.

comfort to those who were left behind.
Is it not well now and then to halt
this mad rush of living, and give space
to a little breathing time of charity

Can't Afford It,

New York Tribune: The wife Of the
vice president will not keep a social
secretary and she doesn't hesitate to
tell the awful truth about the reason.
1t isn't that she hasn't need of one. It
isn't that she doesn't want one. 1t Is
because "she oan't afford one"
That is a declaration Of ~independ-
enoe that ought to thrill millions Of
slaves to the task of keeping up ap-
Epearsnces.HE The Marshall family also
sets a desirable example of domestic
harmony on this subject over which
many homes split. The vice president
himself a few days ago remarked: I'm
going to keep what I have and live
within my income here. l can do 1t,
l think, with economy. l think a little
economy won't hurt the American co.
ple-including me-"
This is true philosophy. There are
many preachers of economy, but most
of them preach it for the other fellow.
They bewail the cost of living and
dream of the simple life, but they are
more afraid of being thought poor than
of actually being so.
How much more everybody could af-
ford that Is worth while if he had the
nerve to defy the phrase, You must
look prosperous If you want to be re-
spected." The vice president was COM
forting himself the other day with the
reflection that people wouldn't think
worse of him because he was old fash
toned. Bless him, MOI! If they have
any sense they'll make his old fashion
