Coue, of course, never claimed that
he originated the idea, but instead
popularized it by giving it new
twist. Hudson had the same idea 81
years ago. So did others, farther back,
on through the misty ages. Socrates
many have picked it up in the writing
of some ancient who died centuries
before Socrates was born.
Ten thousand years ago, and more,
they probably had epidemics of the
.Coue idea. The orientals, especially
thousands of years from now, the
Coue idea will be resurrected and have
flash in the pan of epidemics of popu-
larity.
What a pity that these good ideas
cannot stay with us permanently in
stead of visiting occasionally and de-
parting before they become indeli-
BILE?
Through the ages, experience has
taught certain lessons which the wise
have put in the form of proverbs.
Such saws as "A bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush, Honesty is
the best policy" Don't make a noun
tain out of a mole hill"
All this wisdom is available to US,
constantly. But, as with the Socra-
tes-Coue idea, we most of the time ig-
more what was found to be truthful
by previous generations who got hard
bumps in the finding "Old fogy" no
tions, we call them So did past gem
erations, and so will future ones.
We forget or ignore the proved
wisdom because each generation
thinks it's the smartest ever. We take
a chance, go contrary to proved Wis
dom-and land on our heads.

TO CUT DOWN SUGAR PRICES

The Maryland State Federation of
Women's Clubs has taken the first
step in the only effective method Of
bringing down sugar prices. Repre-.
senting a membership Of $1,000
women, it has passed a resolution dc.
claring a boycott of sugar and sweets
except for necessities. If its mem
bers will act Loyalty on this reso-
luton and if other State federatiors
of women societies will follow suit,
the price of sugar will soon be got
ten dawn to normal levels.
Some Maryland women, but very
few, thought the matter ought to be
left to the government. That is where
it was left during the war when the
government had exceptional powers
it does not now possess. But the IN
effectiveness of its price fixing ac-
tivities is history.
The records show that the nation
could curtail its sugar consumption
without any serious hardship. AS q
wartime measure, for instance, we
managed in 1918 to get along with
consumption of seventy-four pounds
per capita. In 1920 that had risen to
eihty-seven pounds in a year when
high prices were prevalent. In 1921
the per capita consumption was nine
ty pounds and now it is 1O1.S pounds.
1t may be too much to expect that
we should go back voluntarily to the
seventy-four pounds per capita of
1918. But if we did so the sugar prof.
teers would soon have to back down.
Even if we could cut out the extra
consumption since 1920, the result
would soon be felt in the market.
If the public would organize for it's
own welfare as effectively in times of
peace as it did in times of war, those
who prey on it's needs would not get
away with so much loot.
