YOUR DESTINY

Jack Slattory. Harvard baseball coach, says: siIf I was
a young man starting out in life, I would work my way
through college and enter the wool business"
There is no way Of settling the bet, but we'd wager that
if Jack had his life to live over again, he'd wind up as Har-
ward baseball coach.
The lures of circumstances that originally kept him from
entering the wool business would again grivatate him to base
bali.
again, the end of the road would find us where we are now.
1t is futile to talk Of how we'd profit by what we have learned,
for that is dealing with the impossible. Turning the CLOCK
back and restoring our youth would not give us clairyoyant
power of peering into the future.
Many roads are open to us in youth. But as we get older
we settle into one rut. At 35 the average man has a fairly
clear idea Of what he is going to do for the rest OF his
earthly days.
By the time we reach so, we begin realizing that our
careers are the result of two things-an expression OF our
real selves and, secondly, circumstances over which we nave
no control.
IL we could live our lives over again, it IS reasonably
plausible that our real selves would not express them
selves differently, and that the outside circumstances would
be as far beyond our. control as ever. g
o. Henry wrote a philosophical story along this line. He
called it'"Roads of Destiny A young man, striking out INTO
the world, came to a triple fork in the road. The story showed
what happened after he took the first fork, then the second,
finally the third. On each road he led a different LIE. but
the windup Of his career was the same, on all three roads.
All this, of course, is along the lines of oriental fataism,
the idea that we are puppets, creatures OF chance. Many
will claim that they do not believe In fatalisn-and a mo-
ment later be lamenting their "bad luck or rejoicing at
their good luck" I
If YOU believe in luck at all, you are a fatalst.
Late in life, the average person realizes how short me IS,
that it is merely a Demonstration trip on the journey
through eternity. And the average person goes out OF TINS
with the impression that earthly existence is a framing scnool
a sort Of spiritual gymnasium.
The material success we make does not matter SO much
Life is a failure or success according as we benefit our spir-
itual natures by our earthly experience. Is life improving
your If it is, you are fulfilling your destiny.

Need 81 More Votes
If the predictions Of the vets are
correct up to that point they are left
just 81 votes short of the number re-
CURED to elect a President. There
are 53l votes in the electoral col
lege and the necessary majority, ac-
cordingly, is 266.
To get these 81 votes the vets look
first to New York, New Jersey and
Massachusetts. where there have
been positive demonstrations of wet
strength. These States have, res
pectively, as, IA, and Is electoral
votes - a total of ~.
This would leave IL e vets only IA
votes short of the coveted goal and
they assert with confidence that
there are several states from which
they may get them. For instance,
there are Arizona, Montana, Nevada,
and New Mexico, which are frequent
iy if not invariably carried by the
Democrats, and they have an ag-
gregate of 13 electoral votes. Then
there is Connecticut with Z, Della
ware with 3, Rhsde Island with s
and West VirginiE with s votes. a
total of %, that thel vets claim bet
ter than an even efance Of captur-
ing.
And to make TIL figures impressive
they enumerate bt States of Cali
fornia, illinois, Iidfana, Minnesota,
Ohio, PennsylvaJaI and Wisconsin,
with a grand agfdgate of 144 cleo
toral votes, andIsdy that they can
have in the cleo orial college major

Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Illinois and

This business OFF figuring a wet
President into mel White House has
been made sd Impressive, indeed
that it is said THAT in some places
they are already overhauling the
machinery in cd tbrewerles in antic-
ipatIon of the day when beer and

Thirsty Americans.
However, 1t goes without saying
that the drys do not concede that the
vets make even an alarming show
ing with their forecast. The drys
say that the vets always carry cleo
tions on paper and up until the very
day the votes are cast, but that when
the ballots are counted prohibition
never receives a setback. They
even laugh alt the idea that the vets
can count OBJ the "Solid South" to
support a Candidate of their persua-
sion and point out that most of the
States in thai section have been long,
consistently land persistently dry.
Besides, according to the leaders
of the prohibition forces, it is a sad
waste of gbod statistical talent to
put It at Work trying to figure out
how a wet candidate can be elected
before it halls been demonstrated that
there is even a fair prospect of a
vets being the nominee either on
the Democratic or the Republican
ticket.

Gold

Gold production in our country has
been cut in two since 1915. This
doesn't worry you, though you'd sit
up and take notice IL any basic in
dustry such as steel had a similar
drop. And yet gold is the basis of
all our Industry, in the sense that we
measure all material things in terms
OF gold.
1t doesn't really make much dif-
ference how much gold Is produced,
for the value of gold is nine-tenths
imaginary-hypnetic. Gold is the
original Coue.
Drop
Only about SO million dollars
worth of gold will be mined in Amer
lea this year.. or less than SO cents
worth for every man, woman and
child. It's a paradox, that gold -
the center of gravity of our whole
system of economics-is industrially
in a worse slump than any important
branch of business.
Three-fourths of the nations gold
mines r shut down. The reason:
High prices have decreased the pur-
chasing power of gold to such an ex-
tent that many mines cannot be
worked profitably.
AS a matter of common sense, our
money system could nor logically
be based on %flivvers, bricks or movie
tickets. Gold is the last of the an
ciei.t superstitions to yield ground.
Money
Looking into the future to the next
business depression, economists are
redoubling their efforts to find q
way to stabilize the buying power of
the dollar. Herbert Hoover espe-
cially interested.
Most of the suggestions for stabili-
zation have to do with gold manipu-
MISUNDERSTANDING the amount of
gold back of each dollar.
II you could come back to the
United States a couple OF thousand
years from now. you'd find the gold
system junked and money based on
units of human energy--a bricklayer,
for instance, exchanging an hours
work for an equivalent value of some
one else's production. That could
eliminate the profits system, permit
$3.50 exchange.
Suicide
Invention is the most interesting
ratification of the human interest
and sometimes the most startling.
There is hardly anything that has
not received the attention and mid
night oil of inventors. In London an
old inventor, George Stevens, is found
dead-killed by his latest apparatus,
a machine for committing suicide
painlessly and scientifically. 1t
worked. all right. But did you ever
hear OF a stranger inventive quest?
