million dollars. Many Americans in recent years. have
counted that much money mere beginning to the
wealth they wished to
This retiring broker has provided for his nmedi

for the rest of his life He will leave money to
his two children, but not much he would leave
if he went with his business He would rather spend
more time with them now than leave them, after his
death, enough money to make fools out of them
Some persons will sigh and wish they had had

matter of birthdays, for example. The calendars in
Russia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Roumania and few other
European countries not the calendars.
Many citizens Of those countries therefore, don't know
their birthday according to reckoning of the years.
they have to seek aid in figuring out American
birthday.
Some of them,' says the director of a citizens
bureau "do not know the date Of their birth on the
Russian calendar, for in those places they say they
are born on Thursday in June Tuesday in May
This looks like an opportunity for enterprisng
citizens who not satisfied with the birthdays.
If they fall too Christmas at inconvenent
time for celebrating perhaps they get tender
hearted bureau to assign them to more opportune
time.
