BY Herbert Quick
~ N an editorial which the
reader probably saw the
other day it was stated that
the national wealth of these United
States has increased in the years
since the war from 1856 billion dollars
to 800 billions. Whether your wealth
it is interesting to be assured that
the United States as nation has
had this stupendous increase in
wealth.
What is wealth? TITS well worth
while to think OF this. Wealth
generally means well-being, prosper
ity. I do not believe that our ma
tional well-being and prosperity has
almost doubled since the years be-
fore the World War. But when
the statisticians announce that we
have nearly twice as much wealth as
few years ago, they mean that we
can make property statements
showing that state Of things. They
mean wealth as economists define it.
And the most generally accepted
definition of wealth is our store Of
useful and agreeable things which
have exchange value. Health is
not wealth. III spite of the proverb;
for 1t can not be exchanged.
What Is Wealth?
Wealth Is our possessions in agree
able and useful things of certain
kinds; those things which involve
labor and sacrifice in their getting,
and which have exchange value
which can be sold or traded off for
other desirable things. This is the
usual definition, but even this is
faulty.
Now what accounts for this huge
growth in what the loose-thinking
statisticians call wealth." You will
find it consists in very large meas
ure in the growth in value of mo-
nopolies Of one sort or another.
When a great motor car company
is reorganized, and the stock dou-
bled or trebled in amount, and a
profit of millions and millions made
by the promoters Of the reorganiza-
ton, there is a great increase in
value. But is it wealth? In the
true sense it is not. Not a single
machine has been added to the fac
tory. It's capacity remains the same.
Not a single useful or even desirable
thing has been produced by this is
sue OF paper. Yet these figures go
into such statements of our wealth
as Increases.
Values Are Artificial
If the railways, light companies,
power companies and water compa-
MES were permitted at once to raise
their rates freely their stocks and
bonds would at once soar by billions
of dollars. Huge increases would
take place. but would they be in
creasess in wealth? No. They would
: be in large measure mere license to

TRAFFIC SIGNS

7REENSBURG Qnd) city
Il council neld one of it's long
III est sessions the other night
while debating whether traffic
signs erected at dangerous cross
ings should read stop" or SLOW"
The weighty question of statecraft
was acrimoniously argued.
Half of the council believed
SLOW means nothing to drivers
and stop" means only to slow
down. The other councilmen
thought motorists would SLOW or
top" as the signs directed.
Both factions were wrong.
To many automobile drivers
traffic signs, no matter how
worded, mean nothing at all. They
don't believe in signs. and con-
. scientiously ignore them. They
think they know better how to
drive than an inanimate sign.
stop, look. listen" has been
the painted appeal at railroad
crossings for years. Yet every day
some needless person flashes past
the warning. without slackening
speed, directly into the path Of a
train. Others will drive across
white lines on the pavement, past
painted warnings. through safety
gates and Pearly Gates.
Highway authorities and traffic
officials devote much time and tai
ent to perfectir.s; safety rules and
installing safety devices on streets
and highways Their efforts will
never be more than partially sue
cessful until to every driver
SLOW means slow and stop"
means stop.

For how long has the use of
forks In eating been common?

For how long has the use of
forks in eating been common?
The common use Of individual
table forks is European and com.
paratively modern. The Chinese and
Japanese eat with chopsticks. pencil
shaped objects that they hold in one
hand and WELD like a pair Of tongs.
The Greeks and the Romans ate
with their fingers, as primitive and
halfcivilized peoples still do. Dur
ing the periods Of transition from
fingers to forks. knives were used
for eating as we'll as cutting and
still are by the lower classes. Ac-
cording to the Italian priest and
scholar Peter Damiani, who lived In
the eleventh century. individual
table forks were first introduced into
Venice by a Byzantine princess and
from Venice spread through the rest
of Italy. In France. table forks
appear for the first time In an in.
ventory Of Charles V dated 1879 and
as late as the sixteenth century the
court use OF forks to eat with was
satirized as a novelty. In French
and Scottish converts forks were
forbidden as sinful. Into England
forks are said to have been intro
duced by Thomas Coryate, who Wis
tied Italy in 1908 but as late as the
revolution of 1888 few English no.
blemen owned more than a dozen.
What kind Of a fruit is
custard apple?
This is a common name IN the
West Indies and other tropical
countries for several fruits of tho
genus Anona of the family
Anonacaea. Some OF the fruits OF
this genus are among the most de-
lcious produced in tropical coun.
tries. The custard apple is a large
dark-brown roundish fruit, some
times from it's size and appearance
called "bullock's heart" The tree
Is OF considerable size. The custard
apple family is represented in the
United States northern parD by the
common papaw. To this genus also
belongs the alligator apple. A mum

Hen Adopts Litter or Puppies.

A winning, single comb. white
Leghorn hen mothering two filters OF
thoroughbred English setter puppies con-
stitutes most unusual spectacle at the
home of Judge Henry J. Hunt 3rd. of the
Orphans Court of Montgomery county, at
at $500 Wisconsin avenue, Chevy Chase
Maryland.
The facts in the case are that about
two months ago this Leghorn hen stole a
nest under Judge Hunts front porch. Al
the time she became broody her eggs were
taken from her and she moped and clucked
about the yard as though she had lost her
home. Upon spying the puppies in the
judges pump house she Immediately went
to them. CLICKED continuously and drew
them. with her bill. under her wing, where
she continues to hover them every night
and walks around and clucks to them by day.
It is very rare for the Leghorn breed Of
fowls to sit or mother young of its own,
much less that Of the canine species.
Judge Hunts setter dogs are noted upon
the bench and In field trials and his poultry
have won many prizes in the show room.
This piece of monkey business is good
food for thought and may be introduced
in the Scopes trial in Tennessee by either
Clarence barrow or William j. Bryan.
Several photographers have visited Judge
Hunts home to obtain snapshots Of the
series Of evolutions evolving within the
Uranium OF this extraordinary hen.
