Although American made automo-

THE FINANCIAL DELUSION.

Anyone might suppose, from all the
walls raised lately, that the "shrinkage
of values" had actually decreased the
wealth of the American people by vast
amount. It has not. It is valuations"
that have shrunk, not values" Broadly
speaking, nothing has happened except
that our system of counting has changed.
We happen to count in dollars, and
come TO imagine that dollars are wealth.
when they are merely signs of wealth.
Wealth means commodities for human
use, or the means of producing them.
Most of the current talk, even among
well Informed business men, is based on
this strange money delusion. Theodore
III. Price editor of Commerce and Fl
nance. happily explodes the fallacy.
1T is important" he says, that we
should realize that the wealth of the
country as measured in things rather
than money has not decreased. We have
just as much land as formerly. 1t is as
productive as ever. The human energy
available has increased. There are more
men and women who can work. Upon
the NHoIe, tHey are DeIter educated IMAM
those who preceded them. We have
more bushels of wheat and corn, more
bales of cotton, and are better equipped
to mine and manufacture than at any
time previously.
IF we had no money. and exchanged
the things that we produced for those
We needed, we should have no conscious
ness of depression, for there would be
none.
The present distress, which is largely
mental, is due to the fact that we meas
ure our wealth in money, and delude our
selves into believing that we are poorer
because our money will buy more today
than it did u year ago"
Isn't that foolish?

A CAMPAIGN FOR NURSES.

Physicians, surgeons and hospital au-
thorities all over the country are alarmed
at the shortage of applicants for training
as nurses. A complete national organi-
cation has been formed, says an article
in The Modern Hospital, TO solve this
problem,
In the organization are numbered all
the great nursing and public health bod
les of the country, as well as the Ameri-
can Red Cross. The wide ramifcations
of the latter are to be especially useful
in the dissemination of information and
general publicity work. Student nurse
recruiting committees, motion pictures
and all the usual avenues of advertising
will be brought into play.
Undoubtedly the result of this cam
paign will be a marked increase in the
number of those who enroll for the nurs-
ing profession, and the effort is more
than commendable. Considering the i'm
portance of the work, the only wonder is
that the recruiting of its ranks has been
left so long to chance.
The public which stands to benefit
most by a well supplied nursing body
should give all possible furtherance to
the campaign. Its treatment of all
nurses should be such as will encour-
age the young student to take up the pro-
fession which, for all its glories, is more
arduous than most cmpIoyments.

DRUMNIERS OBSOLETE?

A Philadelphia business man says that
the day of the travelling salesman is
about over. The road salesman, he de-
clares, is about to give way to the bust
ness letter writer.
The same prophecy has been made re
peatedly for several years. There is
doubtless some truth in it, or it would
not be dwelt on so much. But it seems
exaggerated
Travelling craftsmanship rose to its
height at time when transportation
was cheap and fairly good, but other
means of communication were not 50
fully developed AZ they are now. Today
il is often possible to avoid n long trip
by using the long-dstance telephone or
the telegraph or mail Latterly. too,
great emphasis has been put on letter
writing as business art But are any
or all of these means sufficient to abol-
ish the "drummer?"
The experts tell US exactly how to do
it, Thus:
a good business letter-writer must be
kind, considerable, tactful, courteous,
InougntluI, student OF human nature.
enthusiastic. generous, human. magma
tive and helpful"
Quite so. And suppose he is such n
marvel, and succeeds in getting all these
business virtues on paper. The real
problem remains-will the recipient read
his letter: And if he does, will he really
get" it:
y good salesman may be made but us
ually he is born. The drummer with the
best record may exemplify all these quail
tiles without knowing that he has them.
He works by instinct rather than stud
led plan, and there are the tone, the
glance. the smile, the pose and the thous-
and shades of suggestion and entertain
ment that he weaves into his selling.
none of which can be written down.
There were drummers before Arabia
sold spices to solomon and Carthage
traficked with Troy. There will always
be drummers. Only in the future they
will cross continents in airships over
night, and be back at their desks on
the second morning

what he has left, and that, by the way,
is the common city home plan of running
a household. It's about as far as many
homes get on a budget plan.
Farmers will have to come to modern
methods Of keeping reasonably accurate
and ineligible books Few ever figure in
terest on the investment, overhead ex-
penscs, depreciation or the general wear
and tear on implements. animals and SOL
or figure their own time. \ cynical
farmer once remarked that the farmer
works for nothing for the pleasure of
going in the hole"
How many farmers have any idea what
it costs them to produce a gallon of milk?
They know what somebody has told them
it costs, perhaps, but they haven't any
idea what it costs in their own diary. 1t
may be less and it may be very much
rore. Scientific cost accounting would
show it and il the cost were too much
the farmer naturally would busy himself
to find the leak"
Somebody said it cost $2.25 to produce
a bushel of wheat? Every wheat farmer
has accepted that figure in his desire for
n price that is considerably above that
figure The Herald will venture the guess
that not one in 1000 knows whether it
cost him 1925 a bushel or - cents a
bushel.
Cost accounting may look like n lot Of
useless "figgering' to the farmer. 1t may
mean the difference between going I'M

LEGISLATIVE PAY.

The most discussed subject so far in
the Legislature is the pay of the lcgisla-
tors. The Republican party in its state
convention, composed of the legislators
and state officers elect, declared in favor
Of lump sum for the members of the
legislature. The members are inclined
TO carry out the party pledge.
The Chittenden county delegation has
declared for lump sum of $500 for the
term of the legislature figuring on a SEES
sion of 100 days duration. For the past
three or four sessions the legislature has
run little in excess of 100 DAYS. count
ing seven days in a week from the date
of assembling to adjournment. At 81
day this ranged a little in excess of
$500 per member per session.
In taking his seat, Lieutenant Gov
crnor \. W. Foote made the recommend
alton that lump sum of $500 for the
session be fixed. He said only six or
eight other states in the union paid their
members on a per diem basis and in some
states larger than Vermont the state
constitution limits the length of the ses-
sion to 60 days. Allowing Vermont a
session of so days duration, salary
of $500 would pay S. a day and Mr..
Foote believes the legislative work should
be accomplished in that time.
The suggestion of the lieutenant gov
ernor has merit. Eighty working days
seem sufficient time for Vermont legis-
lature to complete its work. With the
recesses from Friday to Monday after
noon or Tuesday morning deducted, few
