Cutting told a friend: "oppor-
tunity is everywhere, but men seem
to be blind"
A boy in England had been run
over by the cars. and the bright
blood spurted from a severed artery.
A crowd stood helpless. watching
him die. Another boy pushed his
way to the sufferers side. took his
handkerchief out and stopped the
bleeding by tying a hard knot Just
above the wound.
The applause and praise he re-
ceived induced him to change his
mind from being n cabinet maker 10

later Ashley Cooper became the fore

Hawthorne once dined with Long
FELLOW, bringing a friend of his from
Salem. After dinner the friend told
Longfellow he had been trying to get
Hawthorne to write a story based or
a legend current in Acadia which
dealt with a girl who, in the disper-
sion of the Acadians, was separated
from her lover. and passed her life
in waiting and seeking for him. only
finding him later dying in a hospital
when both were old.
Hawthorne replied to me-" said
the friend, that the story was tame
and unworthy of serious effort"
Thinking intently for a moment.
Longfellow turned to the friend and
asked permission to weave the story
into a poem. This was granted.
Three months later Longfellow
produced Evangeline. or the Exile
of the Acadians.
The story of Shylock and his
pound OF flesh remained unknown

an important book on the subject,

For a thousand years people had

Of pathology, but in that of the very

zine. An X-Ray apparatus has been
brought out for use in shoe stores,
by means of which the purchaser and
the salesperson can see whether or
not the bones of the foot are distorted
or restricted by the shoe being tried
on. The device will not only settle
any controversy which may arise. as to
proper size it will also show, without
leaving chance for argument, whether

This book will contain a section de-

CATER THE STORM"

Reports in the daily newspapers
from many manufacturing centers
state that thousands of men in every
line of industry are being laid off. "
First one factory and then another
curtails production and discharges
men. Some few close for an indie
finite period and discharge their en-
tire working crew. Prices for all com
modities seem to be on the decline and
while the entire business seems dem
oraliZing it spells an early return to
normal conditions. One shining hope
In this mass of sudden change is the
returning value of the dollar. Instead
of purchasing one-third as has been
the case for several years, it will buy
a full dollars worth in the new era.
The world has been drunk on high
prices and high wages. The Iaboring
man lost sight of the fact that while
his wages doubled and trebled his ex-
penses were also increasing in the
same ratio. Each time a cry went
up for more pay costs of living, etc.
also advanced. and after all the greater
income was fully balanced by the out
go for the necessities of life.
Farmers, too, were victims of the
high-prices epidemic and thought that
all products of the soil should remain
at the high levels of war time. Corn
that once sold at fifty cents was worth
$3.50. Cotton, always affected by war,
Jumped from a few cents to forty or
more Wheat hiked it up in the high
spots and went from les sthan dol
lar to more than two dollars. Rice, po-
tatoes and some other commodities
that once were classed among the
cheap articles of food were engulfed in
the maelstOrm of high prices and
went to such levels that they were al
most beyond the reach of the poor
man.
But the process of pyramiding of
profits and the everlasting hiking Of
prices made the structure top7heavy
on it's inverted base. The topping
over had to come, sooner or later, and
while the wealth-crazed world dream
ed of a ceaseless flow of coin the
foundation crumbled and then came |
the wreck Some unfortunates were
pinched but nothing else could have
been expected for it is an axiom that !
few must suffer for the general good |
of all. Within a twelve-month the
chaos Of now will have passed into for
getfulness and the world and its peo-
pies win be plodding along in more
orderly manner of living. The indus
trial spree" or the wartime era will
be over and mankind will be bene-
fitted thereby.
