Or. Rathenau, German Statesman, Had
Dread Of Saturday Which He
Tragic Fate Justified.

Two weeks before his murder NJ.
Rathenau was chatting with a few
friends after dinner in the living room
Of his villa at Grunwald. The talk had
been about the popular superstition
which attaches to Friday. a day Of
evil repute.
MY unlucky day. NJ Rathenau re-
marked, has always been Saturday.
Twice In my life have nearly been
killed. Once, when a child, was
badly injured In runaway. This was
on Saturday. Then years later ]
was almost killed in a fall down a
stairway--on Saturday. It's my bad
day"
M. Rathenau was assassinated on
Saturday.--Le Petit Parisien, Paris.

Something to Think About
BIZ F. A. DALkER

hour In life who managed to turn
about, pull themselves together and
snatch themselves from precarious
positions, but the numbers were
small, for their strokes were light
and their old habits were strong and
hard to break.
They lacked the staying power and
the aexibility Of youth.
So has wagged the world and SO it
Will ever wag until the crack Of doom.
II you wish to pick success, plant
your orchard while In the full vigor
OF life SO that you may gather the
fruit and enjoy II while your senses
Of appreciation are still keen and
your faculties yet alert.
Make friends, but do your own dig
cling, your own pruning and your own
watering. Il your friends scoff at your
industry, dig all the harder, think
harder and keep at your work In heat
and cold.
Seek the counsel Of those who came
here before you, your father and
mother, for, they know where your
feet are likely to slip and your judg-
ment Is liable to err.
Do these things without turning
either to the right or the left and
nothing save death can stop you In
the ultimate realization of your fond
est dreams, and the fine achievements
Of which you are capable.

ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PEcUNIARY"

IF. AFTER being promised a
: "pecuniary reward" for the
performance Of a certain serU
ice, person were to receive
sheep, he would probably feel
that he had been deceived or
that the one who had made the
promise had gone back on his
word. But, In its primary
meaning, "pecuniary" means
relating to Sheep being taken
verbatim from the Latin pecunia
which, in turn, is derived from
pecus, sheep.
The transformation grew ont
Of the custom Of the Romans of
measuring a mans wealth nv
the number Of sheep which
grazed over his pastures. a
imam OF many sheep" was the
equivalent Of wealthy citizen
for sheep were valuable not only
for their wool but also AZ an
article Of diet Gradually. the
root-word pecus was heightened
to pecunia, the equivalent Of
money" or worldly posses
sions," and its pastoral origin
was almost completely obscured
when transplanted into English.
Should q restaurant, therefore,
advertise ''pecuniary stew" ii
would not necessarily mean that
dollar bills and gold pieces ap-
pear In the dish. but it would
merely be an etymologically al
lowable synonym for the old
standby, mutton stew"

Unusual Issue of Rubles
Run Into Trillions

Moscow, Feb. 8.-Mcre billions no
longer suffice to indicate the amount
of paper rubles annually issued by
the Soviet government. 1t runs into
trillions.
M. Krestinsky, the Commissar of
Of Soviets that the government CON

600, ,000,O 100000 Of paper rubles
which, he estimates, should have 6
buying power Of 0,0O0,0OO gold ru-
bles.
He pointed out to the Congress
that this issue while large in figures
is by no means large in buying pow
er for it is based on his estimate
that the gold ruble is equivalent in
buying power to 100000 paper rubles
These paper rubles are the ordinary
medium of exchange.
He explained that the total paper
issue for 1918 was 34,OOO,OOO, 900 ru-
bles, then worth 523,000,000 gold
rubles. The issue for 1919 was 1885,
900 100000 rubles, worth 100000
600 gold rubles. The issue for 1926
was 9s5,OOO, 100000 rubles, worth
200, 100000 gold rubles. The issue
for 1921 was 100000 100000 ru-
bles, worth 2OO,OOO,OOO gold rubles
This makes the total paper money is
sue to date 11,142,00O, 100000 rubles.
The value of one gold ruble has
been legally fixed at 100000 paper
rubles for the months of January,
February and March, but when this
rate was fixed a dollar, which is
worth about two gold rubles, brought
in the open market 250,OoO to 275,OOc
paper rubles.
