works are not great art, and that the
ability to sell million copies is not
the final test of literature; a doctrine
obviously inspired from Moscow, and
intended to undermine the founda-
tions of American culture.
Also, the occupation of writing is
a dignified and agreeable one. The
author lives at home, which pleases
everybody but his wife. He can do
his work in his own time, which
means that he can play golf every
afternoon, and so only the biggest
bankers can afford to associate with
him. Also he gets lot of advertising,
and so goes into "Who's Who" while
his golf associates stand outside and
peer wistfully over the fence. Also,
in the hours when he does work,
there is an impression that he doesn't
work hard; the popular concept of
an authors job is summed up in an
incident that happened to my wife,
standing by the garden gate, when
a small urchin came along. Have
you got job for me?" "What sort
of job?" "Well, I'll tell you, ma'am.

been unravelled. And meantime, upon

When the deputies to the Sejm ar
rived in Warsaw to resume the ses-
sion postponed by presidential de-
cree they found note nailed on to
the locked door announcing that the
session had adjourned sine die. The
deputies twiddled their thumbs and
went home. They have nothing to
do but pass the budget for the COM

show of hands with Pilsudski's sharp

prison term in Atlanta for taking
fall out of his government while serv-
ing it. Mr.. Means conspired with
others to steal whisky from the
treasury department and failed to
get away with it because he failed to
initiate his bride sufficiently. Means
is now slated for parole and if he
swears that he has no money he can
take the pauper oath and get around
a $4,000 fine which he was supposed
to pay before June 30, 1880. A little
thing like swearing to false state
ment will not impose a severe strain
on the elastic conscience of Mr..
Means. His return to public life

The ISettin' Down Job

FOOD, clothing, shelter, love, these
are mems primary needs; and i'm
mediately after them comes enter
tainment. The slaves of the factory
and the adding-machine must have
means of imaginative escape, and so
we have a whole series of new trop-
isms, and a complex of industries
exploiting them. Can you dance?
Can you sing? Can you draw, or
paint, or tell a story, or what have
you? If you have anything, there is
nationwide system for reproducing
! it million times, and marketing it
to all the world. Can you paint a
pretty girl with rosy cheeks and
flashing teeth, or small boy with
ragged pants and bob-tailed dog?
Any one of the popular magazines
will pay thousand dollars, and two
or three months later your painting
will be on every newsstand in the
United States and it's dependencies.
Can you make line or wash drawings
of tall, aristocratic young heroes
wearing new tailored suits or one
! piece underwear? The advertising
agencies stand ready to guarantee
you a salary of six hundred week.
Or can you make up little tunes?
Do they come tripping through your
head, accompanied by words in
Negro dialect, to the effect that l
loves my honey and my honey loves
me, and rs goin' to meet my honey
by the old persimmon tree? I'll leave
you to guess whether that is the

that, with little tunes to match, men
are paid so much that they become
indistinguishable from steel kings

photograph records, and never while

Clarence Mackay, lord of railroads

of the Catholic aristocracy of the
metropolis. The cold, proud father
forbade the banns; and then said the
lover-one tells the story in Broad
way dialect, of course-'I love her
and she will be mine in spite of you"
Said the cold, proud father, "Sup-
pose ] cut her off without q cent?"
Said the song-writer, with languid
smile, "In that case I suppose I'll
have to give her million or two
myself" And so he did, perhaps; any
how, they were married, and so great

AMERICANS HAVE
 HIGHEST STANDARD
Living Conditions Best in World,
 Hoover Reports

Washington. Dec. R-Economic progress during 1927 brought Amer jeans to the highest material living standard this country or any other country has ever known. Secretary Hoover declared today in his annual report to the president.
 A situation of prosperity which he said has now been characteristic of American industry for six years, was maintained, marred only by some continuing depression for agri- culture. and some backwardness in individual lines of industry.
 MT. Hoover's statistics showed steady level of wholesale prices, de- clining slightly In recent months: maintenance of relatively large building construction programs; an increase in the expedition of rail- road transportation along with a bettered service to users: and a year Of "sound. but uneventful growth" in the banking field.
 Foreign underwriting by Ameri- cans during the fiscal year exceeded that of any corresponding period in the history of the United States, the report said. Foreign capital securi- ties privately taken. plus direct new investments abroad probably raised the total to s1,s5o, o,O0o.ooo for the year. Financial reconstruction abroad continued on the whole 10 be encouraging.
 The value of American exports during the fiscal year 1926-27 was greater than that of any other fiscal year since 1920-21, and when ac- count Is taken of the much lower price level, IS compared with the war years trade, was the largest in our history" Mr. Hoover contin- ued. "The value of imports was about per cent less during the last fiscal year, but here again q fall in prices occurred after allowing for which there is a quantative in crease"
 New construction undertaken in 1927." amounting 10 some S7.00O,- 100000 in value, constituted pow orful factor in maintaining business activity and prosperity" Mir. Hoover added.
 He paid high tribute 10 the man agemcnt of American railroads, as- serting that the continued advance in the efficiency of the railways which has been going on since the war" had "reacted favorably upon the entire economic structure" The rapid;y of freight transportation in the United States had increased since 1919 by 30 or 40 per cent.

TREASURE HUNTERS SEEKING LOST GOLD
Companies Organized to Hunt
 for Wealth

Alamosa, Colo. Dec. 2. R>-Two faded and crumbled parchments with indistinct lines and markings of trails have led searching parties into the Conejos mountains in quest of gold dust and ingots. believed buried more than q century ago.
 The searching parties combed many sections of the mountains dur. ing the summer. but early winter snows have forced abandonment of the projects until next spring.
 One of the bands of delivers after hidden treasure is known as the "Treasure Company" with head quarters at Capulin, a Spanish set tlcmcnt 220 miles south of here. The other is q partnership between Charles r. Graeser. rancher, and Jesse Reynolds, Denver prospector. The latter has spent the summer GAging along Rock Creek for chests 0. gold dust and ingots thought to have been buried in the seventies of the last century. Reynolds also is seeking an old Spanish mine, which he claims to have located on the west flank of the San Juan moun- tains.
 Early day history, romance and tragedy mark the trails that lead to the reputed treasure sites. Legernl says the treasure was concealed by French and spanish mining expedi- tons while under attack by Indian tribes.
 The tale Of the Rock Creek cache carries with it q story Of vengeance wrought by Indians against an oXpedtionary force of FrcnChmon. The leader Of the ex- plorcrs, according to the account, kidnapped the daughter of an h. dian Chieftain and later deserted her. The white mon previously had discovered a great deposit of almost virgin gold and were transporting it on hurros to the gulf coast. The outraged Indians ambushed and massacred all of tn cparty but one man. who buried the gold the story runs.

cribed, E. Dana Durand, of the de- partment's bureau of statistical re- search, laid down the proposition that extraordinary increase in the production of American industry during recent years" had most to do with a "corresponding advance in the standards of living"
 Between 1899 and 1925 the out put of agricultural products in- creased about 47 per cent" Dr. Dur and said, that or mining about PAS per cent. and that of manufacture about IFS per cent, while the vol ume of railway service increased by 199 per cent. Meanwhile population had grown only about 55 per cent, so that per capita output rose also by about 55 per cent"
 Even that comparison" it was added, failed to measure fully the progress in production, since larger proportions of the country's popula- tion in recent years have engaged in professional, mercantile, and serv- ice occupations, rather than in ac- tual production.
 The true causes of the prosperity and economic progress of the coun- try are no difficult 10 discern,' Dr. Durand continued. At the founda- ton lie the rich resources of the country. not taxed by an excessive population. and the energy, intelli- gence and attitude toward work of the producing population.
 Tn our earlier days, advance was in considerable measure attributable to the opening of new resources, but turing the past quarter century this has not been q major influence. The principal factors in the recent in crease in productivity are what may be called human as distinguished from natural factors. K One of the most profound modern tcnden- cies is the swiftly expanding use of electric current"
 For the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, Dr, Julius Klein, its chief pointed out that American torclgn trade today repre- scntcd 16 per cent Of the worlds total commerce, where as in 1913 it represented only II per cent. He predicted that 'manufacturcd goods will continue 10 gain in relative i'm nortance in our export tradc,' while the growth of population at home will ''Continue 10 call for tn" con sumption Of q larger and larger proportion of foods,uffs and raw materials produced by our farms.'
 He forosaw vigorous competition for foreign trade in the future. but predicted that with proper effort on the part of American business men, "Wo shall be able to maintain our share of the steadily expanding world commerce."
