REPUTATION the REPETITION
that creates value. Dollars put into
brick, mortar, steel and glass will tear

Ford's factories perhaps are worth

South Africa, land that produces
gold returns to the gold standard, i'm
itating old Mother England. Down
there, below the equator, under the hot
sun, tens of thousands rush to a new
gold field About ten times as many
blacks as whites are in the rush. But,
needless to say, when the dust settles
the whites will have the gold dust.
What would happen to the gold STAN
dard and the worlds finance if this
new gold field should suddenly multi
ply by two, or ten or twenty the
worlds gold supply? That, however,
will surely not happen.
All through the ages, while men
have cut each Others throats to get
them, gold and silver have maintained
their value, based ON scarcity, with
slight fluctuations. Providence seems
to have arranged that for its myster-
ious reasons.
This Is the only country that has any
supply of helium gas worth while. We
get it after it has leaked up through
the earth and in pools of natural gas.
According to DIR. Elind, chief OF the

our sun SOC. .oOo, 900 more years to cool

A New York lady ran = baby farm.
The babies died rapidly, especially II
their board bills were not paid. One
poor infant dug up after burial had :
fractured skull. The rate Of mortal
ity was horrible.
If anybody kept such farm for
baby dogs and cats, the Cruelty to
Animals Society" would probably sup
ervise and regulate It. How does it
happen that the so-called Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Children
knew nothing about the baby farm or
its deaths?
Dean Inge, who doesn't like to be
called gloomy, is in London, describ-
ing America.
He says our rushing energy is
mostly pose" and the language we
speak is something like the English
language. On the whole the dean is
friendly.
In one of his essays he tells you that
when st. Paul thought he was inspired
he was really suffering an attack of
epilepsy.
If St. Paul could stand that, we
ought to be able, to stand criticism
of our Yankee language.
In Pennsylvania, William Cavalier,

the same Of a system Of "justice" that
sentences to death feeble-minded boy
of fifteen.
