pert learned from the fearful bride
that her husband had gone away
without leaving her any money. The
situation appeared serious.
Il reminded him just before he
left" explained the young wife,
''and he said he had left a check
for me on the desk. He did leave
the check, but he neglected to fill
it out. Oh!"-(here she wept vio-
lently again) Il know he did 1t de-
liberately."
The home savings expert walked
over to the desk and picked up the
guilty check, looked hard at it, and
then burst out laughing.
you don't deserve such a hus-
band, my dear" she declared. you
really should be ashamed of your
self. Here the good man has left

low themselves to get the worst of
a bargain.

I sometimes travel, and 1 spend

And it happeneth often that a

For presently it runneth upon a

BULLETINS BY THE
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC sOCE TY
THE GOLD FLOOD OF 1921.

The flood of gold into the United
States, which ebbed somewhat after
reaching it's peak in 1917, has set in
again and there is now probably a
greater supply of this precious metal
in the country than at any other
time in it's history. This flow and
what the present stock of gold in
the United States means in terms OF
world supply is the subject of a bull
letin issued from the Washington,
d. C. headquarters of the National
Geographic Society.
Gold, the aristocrat of metals, is
truly cosmopolitan" says the bulle-
tin, land is found to a greater or
less extent in every part of the world
from near the equator in Africa,
Peru and Borneo to the frozen
ground of Alaska, Finland and ST.
IBERIA. Since the beginning Of history
and doubtless long before n rec
ords were made gold has largely
typified the worlds DESIRE and 1t is
the only substance which has been
received by all races and peoples IN
exchange for other property and
services. 1t was in truth, therefore,
long before legislation by pract1caIiy
every civilized country made 1t tor-
mally so, the worlds standard OF
value.
:. Pouring in From 80 Countries.
I'm the early months of 1921 gold
reached the United States from ABOUT
thirty different countries. Much oil
this gold doubtless originated in the
United States, and there was among
it no doubt metal from practically
every source of gold known to the
world. For the gold of the world
constitutes practically a single STOCK
held temporarily in many reservoirs
and as exchange rates and other o
nomic and financial conditions
change, it flows freely back and
forth and across along trade routes
wearing a veritable golden web tylng
the nations together.

THE SWITCH ENGINE
BY DIR. w. L. BARTON

!, night, and we start up suddenly and
with Rapid motion and with much
snorting of the engine, then know
l that we are running down into the
yards with two or three cars, to pick
up a sleeper from Oshkosh. or to
leave one for Oconomowoc. And l
prepare for the bump.
Now there be good men who come
to me to promote good causes. And
there be some who hook onto every
new movemdht that pulleth into the
Union Depot, and haul it up and
down the main line and the adjacent
sidings. and with much puffings an
nounce the near arrival of the Mil
iennium.
And these be useful men. 1 know
not how without them we should
make up our trains or organization
and achievement. But 1 am not
wholly fooled by the whoop and hur-
rah; neither do 1 altogether deceive
myself with TIE initial speed of these
divers and sundry enterprises.
1 know that as yet we are not out
of the yards, and that when We real
ly get going. and to pulling freight,
sedate evidence of progress thar is
advertised when we are only picking
up the sleeper from Kalamazoo.
For the switch engine, though it
be a worthy and industrious and
commendable factor in human prog
ress, is not that which f~urnisheth the
sustained power for the long grade
and the steady pull.
Wherefore. when a good aus is
starting, 1 applaud the speed with
which we get under way, but l wait
for the steadier and slower pull that
doth certify that we are out on the
main line, and actually moving to-
ward our destination.

SUFFICIENT SLEEP

Sleep. in sufficient quantity to
thoroughly repair the wornout it's
sues every twenty-four hours, is one
of the prime requisites given by
many authorities for a long life.
The number of hours required for
sleep for an adult varies from six
to ten. according to the tempera-
ment, vigor. duties and mental con-
ditiOn of the person.
Many say that women need more
sleep than men. 1t is claimed by
some that persons who think and
work fast will sleep more in an hour
than slow people and thus require
fewer hours for rest. This is false
and absurd reasoning.
Persons of active, energetic, high
ly nervous temperament do not build
up more readily than others and by
great activity Of mental force added
to all they do, yea out more rapid
ly. hence require more sleep-not
less than eight hours. and some as
many as ten.
They may seem to require less be-
cause they are so much interested in
whatever claims their attention, that
after a moderate amount of sleep
they find it easy to be wide awake.
Energetic people need not be
afraid of sleeping too much. Per-

LONDON, Nov. 19.-Prohibition

American people.

Great Britain will have to travel
far in Americas footsteps IL she
wants to recover quickly from finan-
cial embarrassments and hold her
own in the struggle for national eff
ficiency.
These are the carefully expressed
views of a medical scientist who is
himself not a teetotaler-Sir Arthur
Newsholme. one Of the most distin-
guished physicians in England.
For years he was principal medical
officer to the local government board
of England which is something like
being physician to the whole nation.
For the past two years he has been
in America lecturing at Johns Hop
kins University on public health adj
ministratton, and on child welfare
for the children's bureau of our
United States government.

He is embodying his researches
into the prohibition question in a
booklet, prohibition in America"
shortly to be issued in London.
"Englishmen who base their opin-
ion as to prohibition in America on
what they read in their papers, said
he, would be astonished were they
made to realize the revolution which
prohibition has made in the United
States. The instances of failure TO
enforce it. which figures so largely in
cabled information. convey an en-
tirely erroneous impression.

"Of what may be called the rela-
lively common metals, fairly close
estimates of the quantity in existence
can be made probably only for gold
and silver. Even for these two met
ais satisfactory estimates of produc-
ton can be made only for the Pc
riod since the discovery of Ameri-
"a. There is nothing on which to
base an idea of the gold produced
before 1892, but it is safe to assume
that because of the few sources and
the primitive mining methods the
quantity in treasures and circulation
| at that time was but a small fraction
of the quantity since produced.
I Nearly 10000 Tons of Gold.
"Since Columbus landed in Amer
lea, according to statistics assembled
by the Director of the Mint, the
world production of gold through
1919 amounted to more than three
quarters of a billion Troy ounces.
The estimated amount is the equiv
alent of ~29,44S.92 tons of the prec-
ious metal. occupying 49,100.S5
cubic feet, and worth more than sew
enteen and three-quarter billions of
dollars.
This tremendous volume of gold
must he measured by a bigger unit
than the gold dollar If its magnitude
is to be appreciated. If gold were
cast in gigantic dollars n foot
thick and having a diameter of APP
proximately IS feet 9 inches, each
would weight 1885 tons and would
be worth 500. 0O0. 900. The world
gold production since 1892 would
make 1T such dollars and leave
more than half enough for another.
If stacked, therefore, these gargan-
tuan coins would form a tower IS
feet 0 inches in diameter, more than
ut feet high. Since 1905 the av-
erage annual world production
would have added about four and
a hall of these dollars to the stack
each year., but in 1918 and 1919,
the latest two years for which
statistics r complete. the output.
would have made less than four of
the 500, 100000 pieces each year"

This World i.

Take it by and large. and all in all
This world is pretty decent to a guy.
OF course sometimes the graft is kind of small
And Fate quite often bangs you IN the eye;
But mostly you can sort Of wriggle by,
And Lady Luck will hear you when you call
Take it by and large, and all in all.
At times it seems you're up against a wall
With not a chance to climb, it, it's so high;
But If you keep your gumption and your gall
You'll find a way to scale it, when you try.
1t won't get you nothing if you and bawl.
For folks won't listen to a cutters cry;
But-take it by and large, and all in all
This world is pretty decent to a guy.
There's always those who'll help you when you fall,
Unless you squeal and whimper where you lie
(Man amt no worm that's meat to cringe an crawD;
There's friends who will be faithful till you die,
There's love to fill you with a glory high;
There's work an playa gink is pretty small
Who crabs about the game, his nerve is shy.
Don't listen to him when he makes his squall,
For. take it by and large and all in all.
