DEBT.

Going into debt to make money
this is a growing practice. A man, for
example, borrows $1,000 on which he
pays per cent interest, so he can
make an investment paying per cent.
This is the whole theory of banking.
So the average man is becoming to be
remarkably skilled in finance. This
sort of knowledge educates people out
of poverty. Debt, renamed "obliga-
tion," is losing its terrors.
It's as easy to grow crop of dol
lars as to plant and harvest beans
once you learn the trick.

SKILL.

The skill of man seems to be I'M
limited when he once sets his mind
to a goal. DR.. Robert Chambers of
Cornell university uses a microscopic
knife SO small that he can stab a
single disease germ. Compared with
the smallest steel needle, it's like
penknife alongside plow. The point
has to be magnifed 100 times before
it can be seen.
Mechanically man is a wizard. When
it comes to the simplst problems Of
economics, he's as skillful as an ele-
plant.

large moving van was going east on
Grand avenue, and just as it passed
opposite the De Haven car the acct
dent occurred. The two children were
playing on the south side of the street
and their governess was on the north
side. With traffic increasing on the
street, the governess called for the
two children who crossed the street,
running in front of the De Haven car.
Richard Johansen was struck by the

Miss De I-aven stopped her car al
most in it's tracks and as soon as it
was seen that the boys might be in
jured seriously she rushed them in
her car to the Kenosha hospital and
