Hon. to Be a Cave Man

"ROM the little town of Spreehagen, near
It the borders of Berlin, comes a curious
A,eu story of reversion to cave life: Some
days ago the placid burghers were set agOg
by sight of group of men and women across
the fields intent upon digging what at first
APPEARED to be trenches. Rumors of Red
army began to spread. But closer recOnnais-
sance discovered an unarmed company of
artless-looking folk whose leader vouchsafed
the information that he was "Guardan of the
CaVerns of Zarathustra" The thirty of them
were dwelling in holes which they had dug
in the hillside and covered with fir branches.
Children of nature they called themselves.
Whether they wore skins of wild beasts
and girdles of grass and carried hatchets of
stone, whether they ate bramble berries and
meat half raw, squatting about a fire born
from flint sparks, and whether the "Guardian
of-the Caverns of Zarathustra'' beat his be-
loved with club if she waxed undocie the
lesser males doing likewise on OCCASION the
news dispatches do not relate. We fear, how
ever, that if these harkers back to nature re-
senble those of kindred cults they are not
consistent and certainly not natural. There
is, it is true, a man in each of us, and
a11,too often his red eyes glare out. But if
we wish to restore him to rule in good ear
nest, if we wish to get really back to nature
as she ruled the dawning human spirit some
fifty thousand, or mayhap five hundred thou
sand years ago, the thing to do is, not to
cofonize in hillside holes. not to bedeck our
selves with picturesque pelts and dine upon
haWs and spring water, but simply to stay
at home and cheerfully prOfiteer, backbite
our neighbors, hug our chattels, worship our
lucre, and take Colonel Harvey's advice on
he+League of Nations.

MONG iny friends is fine, intelligent,
II Woodworking man who started out in
youth with every prospect of making
good, but for number of years achieved
nothing. He married pretty girl, but she
was fretful, peevish, disconnected sort, who
was always complaining that her husband did
not get along, and that they couldn't have
the luXuries she craved, and she was sure
she didn't know why, because, Heaven knew,
she worked her fingers to the bone, and
scrimped on every penny.
In the course of time, this woman died, and
in the still further course of time the man
married again. This wife was jolly good
natured woman, who put her husband on
pedestal and worshipped him, and was always
telling him, and everybody else who would
listen how great and wonderful he was, and
almost Immediately the man Logan to prosper
and he went on to the big success that all f
us who kne him had prophesied for him
in his youth
"Queer, isn't it, how he suddenly got into
his stride?" his acquaintance said, in discuss
ing the matter. wonder what happened to
hm?"
But it wasn't queer There wasn't any
thing strange about it. And the miracle was
the effect that mans wife almost has on
his fortunes.
This mans first wife had been a knocker
and she had knocked all of the courage and
ambition out of him. Every time he made a
plan, or originated new scheme, she gave it
a tap on the head that knocked it stone dead
before it was ever fully born. Every time he
got up any enthusiasm over what he was
doing, she poured cold water on it until it's
fires sizzled out. She killed his belief in him
SELF by always telling him that he was a
failure, and so he lost his nerve and courage
and became one.
She would spend half the night snivelling
over his i'll luck and wondering why he
couldn't make money like other men, and the
result was that he would start the next days
work so worn, and weary, and down-hearted,
that he skunk away from his fellowmen in
stead of holding them up and forcing them
to do business with him.
His wife's nagging and complaints put him
into the down-and-out class. For the world
takes a man pretty much at his own valua-
ton. He's got to believe in his goods and
self if he sells either one to other people.
Then the pessimistic lady died, and the
man married an optimist. She believed in
the man with such fervor, that she made him
believe in himself. She inspired him with
fresh courage and hope, and just because he
had to live up to her good opinion of him or
die, he gathered his energies and made a
fight that carried him on to victory. If this
mans first wife had lived he would have
died in the poorhOuse When his second
wife closes his eyes, it will be in a mansion
on the sunny side of Millonaires' Row.
Such is the effect of wife the common,
or garden variety of man. Of course, there
are super men who can rise superior to home
influences, but these are few and far between.

ures that during the period of 1914 to
1921 the wealth of the United States in
creased from $250,000,00O t. $500, 0OO, 900
are apt to be misleading, although theoreti-
cally their correctness probably can be estab-
lished. The estimate declares that the in
crease per capita was from $2,564 to $4,000,
all of which the average citizen will probably
read and pass up with a sigh.
This is quite impressive on it's face the
New York World declares, land would be so
in fact if the increase were altogether sub
Stantial in character and reflective to any con-
siderable degree of the practice of thrift dur
ing the war and of the peoples will to work
But in the final reckoning we shall doubtless
find that the gain is almost altogether nomi-
nal and due to enhanced values of property
during the period of initiation, or, more prop
erly, enhanced prices or values reckoned in
terms of money greatly reduced in purchas-
ing power by the country's enormous increase
of gold monetary stocks and their hypothe-
cation for much larger issues of Federal Re-
serve notes. That country's rial pro-
ductiOn per productive unit is increased by
war is proposition hardly to be denied.
Savings as a rule also become greater, as
they must in order to take re of the cur
rent costs of the war. But savings so d.
verified go toward the destruction of wealth
and not it's increase, and are themselves de-
stroyed. And a war of any intensity will
thus absorb all possible current savings and
accordingly cause decline in actual wealth
from the diversion of industrial plants to
purposes"
Germany ard England must have lost
heavily in gold values during the war,
though unscathed by invading armies. The
United States also lost heavily in wealth
during the, comparatively brief period it was
actively engaged in fighting, although it is
probable that during the whole seven years
of the conflict there was some net increase
in wealth.
The United -,ates, however, has neither
liquidated nor even calculated fully what
the memorable conflict cost her. The stag
gering figures have been piling up far into
billions during the past year of peace in idle
factories, farms and mills and will continue
to grow as the years p"ss by in alternating
the distress of the victims of the struggle.
By no process of reason can war be prov
en- an upbuilder of nations or of wealth. Its
one essential function is to tear down and
to Destroy and it's blighting effects are felt
by all future generations.

PRESS TALK IN GEORGIA
BY JACK PATTERSON
The Seasons Rest Catch

Many interesting fish tales have been told
this season, but the Triton Gazette is re-
sponsible for the best one to date:
"a waiter from Valdosta hotel was miss
ing from his regular duties for two days last
week, and when he returned an explanation
was asked. He stated that he went out to
the Withlacoochee river to fish. He said
that while in a coy retreat along the banks
Of the river his hook caught in pillow line
which was just below the surface of the wa
ter. Hauling in ON the line the waiter found
jug attached to the -;ver end and an ex-
animation disclosed the contents of the Jug
to be moonshine whiskey. 1t took him two
days to get over the shine jag" Well, ev-
erything else considered, it seems that Jug
of moonshine should supply an average hotel
waiter for at least two days

TrOtZkY Sick

Information has reached Riga tending to
confirm the report that Leon Trotzky, the
Russian Bolsheyik war minister, is seriously
i'll. He is said to be in a sanitarium near
Moscow suffering from cancer.
Some mystery, however, surrounds the
case, as recently reports were circulated in
Moscow that he<and Ensign Krylenko, FORM
er Bolshevik commander in chief of the Rus
sian armies, had gone to the Afghanistan
frontier.
No mention of Trotzky's illness is made in
any of the Moscow papers, the information
concerning him reaching outside points only
through travellers from Russia. Some Of
these travellers being Communist leaders,
they are in position to know.
According to one of them, the collapse OF
Trotzky's health, added to the physical break
down of several other Bolshevik leaders, is
increasing the difficulties in which the
premier, Nikolai Lenine, finds himself trying
to stave off the fall of his regime, which is
faced by extraordinary disorganization of
transport and fuel.

PrOfiteer Law

A remarkable anti-profiteering act came
into force in Czecho-Slovakia, according to
the Manchester Guardian. This measure
supplements stringent legal provisions for the
punishment of profiteering and the illicit ex-
port of necessities abroad which were al
ready in operation. All persons above the
age of eighteen convicted of infringing the
law will be Internationally drafted into the
penal labor contingents for minimum period
of one month a maximum period of one
year.
Persons sentenced to undergo this penalty
will (says the Czecho-Slovakia Bureau be
employed upon manual labor of general util-
ity, and this labor will be performed in pub
lie. 1t will consist of such tasks as cleaning
and repairing streets, public buildings and
high roads, keeping waterways in good con-
dition and building railways.
The detailed methods for applying these
measures have already been drawn up by the
Minister for Justice, and they will be publish
ed as soon as possible. The sentence cannot
be RENTED or modified in any way and can
be POSTPONED only in case where mental de-
rangement or severe bodily illness might re-
suit in the death of the person convicted if
the penalty were inflicted Immediately.

cony High Notes-Students Plan for
Skating Rink to be Built on the
] Williams Athletic Field
The Armistice Day program at
Cony High school which was an
nounced in Wednesdays Journal, was
carried out as planned and proved to
be a very interesting study of the
different martial authors. Murray
Randall acted as chairman and per-
formed his duties in a very fine
manner. Beside introducing the diff
ferent speakers. he also gave a short
biography of the author of each of
the pieces which the speakers pre-
sented This made the articles more
real and added to the knowledge OF
the stdents. An especially good ar
ticle of this program was the extern
poraneous review Of the book 1.-The
Student in Arms" which was pre-
scented by Merritt Hewitt.
The Cony student council voted
Wednesday morning to ask the board
Of education to make provisions for a
skating rink on the athletic field. 1t
is the desire that this rink be made
so that it can be flooded by the regu-
lar water system and that 1t be cleo
trically lighted so that skating and
hockey games may be enjoyed in the
evening.
