his work is all material pleasure or

A man may have worse perils to

L. all depends upon his store of
oxygen, and on his machinery. how

The submarine has taught us that

Government Stamp Collection

older building of the National Mu-
scum is United States govern

the general public knows very lit

cluded only about twenty five hum
dred stamps, but in that year the
gift of New Yolk collector in
creased it by twenty thousand
specimens.
In 1912. says the report of the
United States National Museum

velopes and postal cards of all the
nations of the world, to the num-

sisted chiefly of a large cabinet
with sliding frames. in which the
main series of stamps had been
installed, including those printed
for the United States by private
firms and by the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, and the
foreign stamps received through
the International Bureau Of the
Universal Postal Union at Bern.

the collection included sheets of

QGZ!y head above water, when
applied to the struggle for life or
for the things generally supposed
to be necessary to life!
The idea of keeping afoat'
seemed to be an image that was
permanently established in general
use. But now that the submarine
has come into use, the allegory has
lost some of It's force. Now that
men can live under water or up
among the clouds for a considerable
time, many of our familiar images
will have to be recast in new
form, if they are not to be dis
carded as out of date.
This is interesting to one who
has had the experience of failing
to keep afloat upon the tide of
prosperity: for it suggests to him
something he might have learned
from his own experience. if be had
been able to learn that way. The
fact that there are more ways of
keeping going than by staying on
the surface might have been ap.
parent to him when the tide of
fortune swept over his head and
almost drowned him.
1t is curious to note that when a
man is sailing on the surface he
calls the ocean allegorically the
tide of FORTUNE, but when it
swamps his boat he is said to be
overwhelmed by the food of MIS-
fortune. From which | argue that
fortune and misfortune are not
different in themselves but are diff
ferent appearances of the tide of
life to different men.
The subma rine has taught us
that submergence may be a means
of protection against worse dangers
ON the surface.
Let man who has seldom man
aged to keep his head above wa
ter in the aft .irs of life. and who
perhaps fancies that be is drowned
because the waters have closed
over his head, think of the SUBJ
marine, and remember that he too
has the power to live long while
under water, and to come to the
surface again as a surprise to those
who had thought him drowned.
There is something in the idea
more than a mere fancy. The SUBJ
marine is a hard fact. am not GO
ing into the question of how it is
now being used, but am merely
noting the fact that it has proved
the possibility of successfully sail
ing below the surface of the water.
A fact in nature is demonstration
of natural law; and natural law
holds good all through the whole
realm of Nature in which we live.
That is why it is possible to 'rea-
son by analogy The law Of Ma
ture is not capricious, and it can
be seen to operate on all sorts of
levels of the worlds life, adapting
itself to circumstances. So that
when we talk ABOUT the tide of
prosperity and of a man taking
advantage of the tide.' or of his
being able to just keep his heSd
above water, or of his going un-
der,' we are not talking fancifully
but scientifically, using a visible
condition of nature to illustrate an
invisible one. The ocean is visible
and the tide of life is not; but na-
ture's law works all the time and
everywhere appropriately adapted
to the circumstances.
May it not be that there is a
navigator in man. of whom he does
not know much, but who knows a.
good deal about the ocean of life
and its dangers, and also knows
many things about the possibilities
of the craft he navigates2 This
unknown navigator may know all
about the advantages of an occa-

VERY professional sub.

N4SS29H less degree, dry for the
gSg reason that the discussion
necessltates the use of a certain
amount of technical language. MY
purpose in reading this paper is to
present in an interesting manner
the relation existing between busi-
ness and accounting. l trust that
you will forbear the use of such
technical terms as have seemed to
be necessary.
Chief among the opportunities
for service to its workers the com.
mercial world offers the profession
of accounting, which also includes
the work of systematist. There
are many reasons for my holding
accounting as the chief of CONNER
cial professions:
First-While wares must be
manufactured they cannot be prof
itably sold without their costs be-
ing known. To arrive at the man
ufacturing costs system of cost
accounts is necessary.
SecOnd-While manufactured
: wares are Improbable until sold.
which fact makes the profession of
salesmanship one Of the most nec-
essary, they are still Improbable
until the accounts of the purchas-
ers are collected. The collection of
these accounts depends primarily
upon authentic statements of the
purchases made by the debtors.
Therefore system of sales ac-
counts is of prime Importance to
the keeping of the assets of a busi-
ness in liquid form-cash or
secureties.
Third While advertising is one
of the chief means by which sales
are made unless the advertising is
done through proper channels the
sums spent on such valuable work
may net loss rather than an IN
crease of profit to the business. A
thorough check ON the productive
ness of. leads, prospects and finally
sales through the advertising media
cannot be had without the aid of
the system that turns the spotlight
on the weak as we'll as on the
strong features of the advertising
campaign.
Fourth-No new financing can
be done without the records being
authentic and current with the
business. The 6nancier can make
no safe moves until he has in hand
the complete report of the status
of the business. Without having
this complete report he does not
know what moves to make, how
