Jade Butterfly Lucky.

Fashioned in the form of a butter
fly, jade acquires a special signif-
canoe in China, because of a legend
which relates that a youth in eager
pursuit of a many-hued butterfly made
his way into the garden Of a rich man.
DARN. Instead of being punished for
his trespass, the youths unceremoni-
GUS visit led to his marriage with the
mandarin's daughter. Hence the fig
ure of a butterfly is a symbol Of sue
cessful love, and Chinese bridegrooms
are wont to present jade butterflies
to their fiancees.

PEOPLE WEALTH.

The only kind of wealth worth
while is that which you are able to
keep and live from.
Wealth built from money alone is
unsubstantial-for it is very possible
to have it swept away at a single
bound. Nothing conferred in money
can be said to be certainly set and
stable.
But that which enriches your heart
and your mind and aids you in the
appreciation of all things, is kind of
wealth which nothing can take from
you.
Most of our learning comes from
books, people an observation.
The most interesting and absorbing
source Of wealth comes from people.
Let us call it people-wealth.
Everybody has something for you IL
you will but recognize it and go after
it. Only this evening I spent an hour
with a man whose personality was
anything but inspiring. 1 saw that I
was in the midst of a mine with great
chunks of useless ore in it. So l tried
to find a little of some that might be
of useable value. And I found some.
/ I care not what the person, there -
good in acknowledgements
1 once read story of a man who
died and left but one mourner at his
grave-a dogi But who would not
welcome the affection of one so faith
! full?
We pass up opportunities to enrich
ourselves from people just as we do
! to enrich ourselves in a material way.
The interest of the world rests in peo-
pie. When we are loneliest We want
| for someone who is human and full of
nderstanding-some person of whose
love we may partake.
I came across this quotation the
other day, written by a man who lived
two thousand years ago: Among
men, reject none: among things. re-
ject nothing" This is called compre-
sensive intelligence.
Every once in a while I go to my
| People Bank" and draw out little
of the love and thoughtfulness given
me. maybe years long ago, and I am
inspired anew,
It's great to be worth millions-in
people wealth.

tations to dinner, and automobile

The Salvation Army kept this work
up for a year and a half after the
war and then the war fund ran out.
The Salvation Army said that it could
not afford to continue, but rather than
have the soldiers visits stop, Atlantic
City voted to put up $4,000 from the
city funds to continue the work an
other year.
Another piece of war work the Sal
walton Army has just started. This is
an offer of service to relatives of
dead soldiers whose bodies are being
brought to this country, to Arlington
cemetery. Often the relatives of these
soldiers are unable to come to Wash
ington to be present at the military
interment ceremonies, and the Saliva
ton Army offers to represent them at
the services and to write them about
it afterwards. Or, if relatives or friends
come to Washington, for this purpose,
the Salvation Army says it will be glad
to know beforehand, SO that it can
send some one to meet them and do
anything possible to help them during
their stay in Washington

Senator Penrose has discovered that
there is a strong propaganda in favor
of a tax on sales, but says he is yet
unconvinced that this plan of raising
revenue is a good one. There still ap-
pears to be considerable opposition to
consumption taxes in so direct a
form, despite the fact that every tax
is directly or Indirectly a, consumption
tax. Even the inheritance tax when
traced to its source is found to be lao
exception. If consumers did not pay
more than living profit on what
they are compelled to buy there would
be no estates to tax. Taxes of all
kinds are paid out of profits collected
from consumers. The sales tax is
the simplest plan that has yet APP
peared for carrying on the collection
1t is direct and inexpensive in exc
cution It will fall more heavily on
the rich than on the poor because the
former spend more. 1t could not be
evaded by anyone. What more does
Senator Penrose want?

JUST FOLKS
PLAYING THE MAN.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST.

PLAYING THE MAN.
There is n richer treasure than of gold
A fairer fame than glory or renown.
But few can ever wear the victoris crown,
And few the scepter of full power may
hold.
Nor can all men in history be told
And have their records marked and writ
ten down;
Yet soldier. preacher, artisan or clown.
Toiler or dreamer, youth or graybsard old.
Need never sigh for love or fellowship,
The worlds approval or the joy Of
friends.
Each can be kindly and with smiling lip
Welcome the day and all that duty
sends;
Each has it In his power to play the man,
And this Is greatness under every plan.

THE BUILDERS, STRIKE.

In the face of an unprecedented
scarcity of houses, news dispatches in
dictate that there has been a general
stoppage OF building operation thru
out the country. The usual order of
disturbance in the building industry
has been reversed in this instance, and
it is the contractors VINO are on strike.
Apparently there is a concerted de-
mand, on their part. for reduction
of 20 per cent in the wages of me-
chanics. The latter refuse to accept
the cut and work has stopped.
Probably master builders will be
unable to muster enough men outside
the unions to carry on their opera
TONS On the other hand, union men
out of work will find it useless to
seek jobs elsewhere, because the strike
of contractors is general.
In an endurance contest the strik-
ing employers have an advantage that
would not be possessed by employers
in other industries. from the fact that
they have little expensive machinery
to stand idle. But the locked out me-
chanics must eat and to eat they must
work.
1t is a bad state of affairs and the
public interest demands that the diff
ferences be adjusted. In view of the
fact that wages in many other indus
tries are falling and living costs have
declined. building trades mechanics
can hardly expect to continue to draw
wartime wages indefinitely.
The people struck against high
building costs long ago and such work
as has been in progress has been that
which could not well be avoided
Building mechanics, therefore, now
find themselves engaged in an I'M
equal contest with both employers
and the public. The situation is one
that should be given serious thought
