No Crash ~, Values

that the law of supply and demand
will gradually resume it's pre-war influence
over prices. Already, indeed, there are
signs of trend back to normal. The dol
lar, though still a sad shadow of its won't
ed self, is perking up. Numbers Of COM
modities are appreciably cheaper than they
were twelvemonth ago. The economic
brium.
This does not signify a sudden and
sweeping change in conditions brought
about by an earth-wide war. Persons who
refuse to eat until food reaches former
price levels will not live to enjoy those
easeful days; and persons who hold a like
attitude toward raiment will have to seek
out cline where the Adamc fig leaf is
comfortable and unforbidden. The price de-
cl1nes, authorities say, will be distributed
over period Of months and years.
For the great body Of consumers, as
we'll as for producers and merchants, this
prospect is greatly to be preferred to
sharp and sudden break. High prices are
incomparably better than the conditions
which go with idle industries, stagnant
trade and empty purses The cost of liv-
ing has been burdensome indeed during the
war and it's aftermath; but there has been
living for ala boon by no means
tain If there should come a crash in
the values which the last five years have
established. Let us be thankful, then, that
the trend to lower, prices is gradual as
we'll as sure.

A Shot at the Moon

o. wTGH-MINDED and open-handed persons
= who have answered all the appeals OF
= = deserving charity and patriotic politics,
yet still are wishing for worthy causes to
befriend should get in touch with that en-
gaging scientist, Professor Robert H. God
: dard, of Clark College, Worcester, Mass. The
Professor has conceived the idea of shooting
ct the moon with a mammoth rocket stored
with repeating charges" which he feels
sure would carry his machine right into the
face of the silver satellite and leave it's mark
for an admiring earth ever after to behold.
He finds but one barrier to putting his
brilliant project into execution. Its purely
scientific problems he has mastered to his
heartiest satisfaction. But alas! this world
was ever apathetic to thoughts beyond the
reaches of it's bread-and-butter sense. "The
great pity" exclaims Professor Goddard sis
that I cannot commercialiZe my idea" And
he adds, with biting sarcasm, "If I could
have promised a one hundred per cent return
In forty-fve days, I'd have been financed long
ago." Shame upon a materialistic time! A
PonZi can lure millions to his ignoble and,
40 it turns out, fraudulent schemes. But a
rare astronomer, afire with the wondrous
conception of shooting at the moon-yea
and of hitting her spang in the midriff-
can raise scarce penny to bring his vision
to pass!
After all, however, 1t is not the Professor
who is to be pitied, but the obtuse generation
tnat cannot rise to MS great IDEA. For him
there is the consoling example Of unappre-
ciated genius in every age-Columbus Cali
leo, Noah, and
"seven cities claim immortal Homer.
dead
Where living Homer begged his daily
bread.
But what of the torpid multitude that suf-
fers this rocket-minded seer, who needs mere
money, to go unaided and his magnificent
idea unrealiZed? Theirs will never be the
heart-throb of seeing the man in the moon
shot from his ancient brush pile by mum
dane wit, nor the fame Of financing so mar
velous an achievement Theirs will never be
the thrill Of sharing a seat with genius and
hitching their wagon to star.

Editorial Echoes

Out of Davenport, Iowa comes piteous
tale grocer and butcher, embodying in
one person two business potentlalltles with
millionarish possibilities, is the hero. This
man in the characteristic opulence OF his
class ever since the war began to boost
prices, was wearing one OF his presumably
many $500 diamond rings, the while he
attended to the needs of his flock of $50
chickens. With the carelessness that comes
of long familiarity with such baubles, he
knocked the diamond loose from it's set
ting, and while he was probably speculat-
ing as to whether he should pick up such
a trifle, one of the chickens swallowed 1t
and disappeared among its fellows.
Then the butcher wanted his diamond,
but couldn't find the particular fowl which
had made way with it. There WAS nothing
to do but STAY the chickens until the right
one was found. In the fft1eth chicken the
diamond was located.
The tale points many interesting things.
That grocer-bu butchers in Iowa, or any place
else, wear diamonds in pursuit of their &C.
equations will surprise no one who is IA
miliar with present-day prices Of their
wares, for to judge by this standard, the
diamond might we'll be the insignia of their
trade. But think of the profits of this for
tunate Iowa butcher from the transaction.
He recovered his $500 diamond, but that
bulks small with what he must have re-
ceived from the sale of the fifty chickens
he slew to recover his bauble.
But the unanswered question is why did
the butcher make such a fuss over only
one diamond? Most of us who have tried
eating chicken in Philadelphia restaurants
have been led to believe when the check
appeared that chickens were fed exclusive
ly upon diamonds, instead of containing
only one, as did this indiscreet middle west
