IDLE RICH BECOMING FEWER
Wealth Are Now Trained to
Succeed Their Fathers.

It used TO be said that 1t was only
three generations from shirt sleeves
to shirt sleeves. This meant that the
man who worked hard and built up
his own fortune by taking off his coat
and digging in" generally had a son
who spent all his money in idleness
and rlotous living, and his sons son
had to take off his coat and, like his
hardworking grandfather, go to work
to make his own fortune, a writer in
the American Boy observes. But
things are different in these days. The
sons of rich men are trained to care
for money, trained in their fathers
business so that should their fathers
die they may be able to step in and
continue the work, aided by competent
assistants. Other young men, when
they get through college, begin to
work their way up so that they will
know all the ropes of their fathers
business. Many a young man who is
heir to millions has worked side by
side with sons of poor laborlng men,
and worked quite as hard and for the
same wages.
The juniors in American business
today are making splendid showing.
Never in the history Of the country has
there been so great number of able
young men, sons Of millionaires, who
have worked and are now working
hard-much harder than the average
young chap who has quit school and
gone to work to support himself.

Women Busy In 1861

The activities of women in war work
recalls the work of the women during
the Civil war In little village Of New
York. William II. Shelton, in a remi-
nlscent article In Century, says:
sour village had decided opinion
about the war, and when the ladies'
who had played battledore and shut
tlecock wanted TO do their bit in a
Red Cross way they selected the little
red cannon house as the scene of
their activity. The yellow gun car
rlage, with its double trail was
wheeled out upon the grass, its brass
gun actually pointing south, with the
round iron balls hard by in the port
able chest, to make way for tables
and chairs. Here at fixed intervals
the ladies met to make havelocks and
pick lint. For the first they brought
good cotton drilling, and for the soft
lint they scraped the oldest sheets and
pillow cases of fine linen from their
grandmOthers' wedding chests"

RICH LAND YIELDS LITTLE
Mosquito Coast Might Be Made One Of
the Most Productive Regions
Of the Earth.

II Columbus could return today to
the Mosquito coast which he once
discovered he would find 1t only slight
~ changed after four centuries. Co
lumbus was so favorably impressed by
his visit to Nicaragua that he attempt
ed to establish a settlement on the
Mosquito coast. His project fell
through, not, as might be supposed,
by reason Of the name Of the region,
for that name was not given it by Co.
lumbus, but is a corruption Of the
name Of the Indian tribe that inhabits
the strip of land.
Mosquito coast has disappointed
other promoters of colonies also, and
refuses to be turned into a busting,
commonplace trade center. 1t has
made few concessions In the way Of
small towns which seem composed of
accidental collections Of huts. Else
where its rivers sweep down from the
protecting mountain ranges at the back
and flow at will throughout the level
lowland Of the coast strip. AS they
near the shore they break into wide
lagoons, marsh bound and desolate.
The country is like the Nile valley In
fertility Of soil and flooded plains,
but unlike that intenslvely cultivated
district In productiveness. There Is
much casual farming on the dry land
Of the coast, and the results arouse
woRae r as to what might be done by a
middle-western famer with an inex-
haustible fund Of energy and resource

Where Cultivation Counts

Most of us find it too much trouble
to really cultivate ourselves. We cul-
tlvate people whose acquaintance we
think will make for our promotion and
advancement. We cultivate those
whom we think are powerful We cul-
tivate the rich, the talented, the beau-
tiful outside of ourselves, without
realizing that real power, real distinc-
ton, comes from within. If we would
give as much time and attention to
making the best of ourselves as we
give to those non-essential things
which hamper our progress we should
all reach the situation we admire in
others. For no man or woman ever re-
ceives the best Of life as a gift

Small Decrease in
SUGAR CONSUMPTION

The consumption of sugar in the
United States in 1918 average 74.1S
pounds per capita, which compares
with 1874 pounds in 1917. The re-
duction. the combined result of high
prices and of voluntary and enforced
economies requested by the food
administration, amounted to only
ga per cent and in quantity 41C
million pounds. The saving seems
small. in view of the large econo-
mics called for by the food adj
ministration. For months individual
pounds per month, and large users
such as candy factories and soda
fountains, were limited to 70 pei
cent of their normal ConSumption.
