a report that l had been making on

man who had been buying himself a
gold brick in the shape of a flooded
mine. The mine had at one time been

rather extended dividend-paying period

it was some years-the luck changed,

gentleman wasn't exactly a woolly

term. He had owned stock in the mine
for a long time, and 1t had been pay

naturally, after the new strike was an.

own more. I don't know what his In.

Five Billions for Luxuries.

| Luxuries are costing the American
people five billion dollars a year, ae-
cording to statistics recently compiled
| BY officials of the treasury department,
| based on returns under the luxury and
| kindred taxes. Five billions of dollars,
whether they be spent on the luxuries
or the necessities of life, represent n
truly stupendous sum of money. 1t IS
sure to conjure up in the minds of
thrifty folk a vision of gigantic ex-
travagance, Of a national orgy OF
spending We have already been singled
out, by critics both at home and
abroad, as a riotously eXtravagant peo-
pie; and the publication Of the treas
ury department compilations will be
taken as providing proof positive OF
the soundness of such criticisms.

Of America deny the fact that Amer.
