AirplaneS VS.. Autos

II DWARD RICKENBACKER, who has achieved
n. fame aviator and autost, predicts that air.
planes will soon be sold at $500 each. This is
not illogical The airplane far faster than the automo-
bile is passing slowly through the period of de-
-yelopment.
Several important elements have contributed to this
delay The public has not been educated thoroughly to
the advantages of air navigation, commercially and
cially The fear of embarking in new element still
sobsesses the individual Facilities for the personal own
ershp of arplanes difficult to obtain and costly to
maintain.
The automobile swept into popularity because man
had been accustomed to travelling the ground since
times beginning. Further the motor served many peo
pie swfter safely and economically than horse,
trolley train and afforded pleasure at the time.
Finally, the automobile proved simple to maintain and
easy to house AS the arpane attains the
status, real competition may begin.

Something to Think About

Four hundred and thirty-threc
years ago the son of poor Italian
weaver made himself one of the
great figures of history by claiming
America for the Old World.
During these four intervening CEN
turtles and the land Coumbus dis
covered has grown rich and power
full. It's inhabitants enjoy bless
ings coveted by man the world
over. 1t has given the Old World
the example Of a government based
on faith in the common people.
We, who live here today, have
passed, in many things, far beyond
the little Italian admiral peering
into the unknown from the bridge
of his plunging little cockleshell
sailboat. We have passed on in
our understanding of physical
things. We talk Of atoms and
bacteria and seismographs. We have
passed beyond him in methods of
travel, organization and industries.
We have advanced in communica-
ton, general education and the
average length Of life.
But in another and fundamental
ly important matter the task of
the modern man is to catch up with
Columbus.
This is the matter Of character.
In our highly complicated civili-
zation of today exactly the same
qualities of character make for
greatness that did in the simple ex-
istence of four centuries ago.
Throughout the life and ad-
ventures of Columbus the funda-
mental virtues of human character
are easily traceable.
These are: Self-control; 2, HUI
mility; 3, Courage. In human
character these are like the three
legs of tripod. without any one
of them it loses its solid basis.

a thousand and one temptations put
up to you with honied looks and per-
suasive actions which you must face
pleasantly but firmly and get out
with clean character.
If you are a young girl there are
plenty of knowing youngsters who
are ready to sully your mind with
insinuations and who would have
you join them in what they know is
folly.
You must sooner or later take
your stand on the right side or on
the other side. Then you will sink
or swim.
1t takes a wholesome hard-boiled
quality Of firmness these days.

mind Of a worker cannot be de-

or a millionaire. Developing the
mind is the work Of many years, re-

The common idea Of knowledge is
merely the acquisition Of a number
Of new facts. A man who believed

that knowledge consists in commit
