MEN AND MONEY
BY M. S. Rukeyser.
Copyright. 1879

The mysteries of speculation--the
inscrutability of the market place
follow no regular seasonal movement
yet in the last three years March mas
become identified I'm the financial mlnc
with reaction.
There is logic to the timing.
The country has been in the midst
of a prolonged period of prosperity
Business has not been moving in ac
cordance with the typical trade cycle
Accordingly, atsthe beginning of each
new year. spectators wondered
whether the peak of the upswing had
been reached. In January and
February there would be uncertainty
as TO the answer to this question. but
seasonal liquidation, resulting in a
marked credit ease, would give a
dominant upward trend to prices.
In January and February business
men habitually pay off their indebted
ness, and commercial activities eX
perience Midwinter post-holiday lull
BY the third month of the year, in
creasing prepare tons are made fof
Spring business. This usually results
and has resulted this year--in ar
expansion OF bank loans for purely
commercial purposes. Accordingly, in
terest rates stiffen somewhat, and the
market is bereft of the tonic Oh
extraordinarily easy money. The rise
in money rates. though only moderate
induces profit taking after the earlier
speculation which had been fostered
by cheap money.
Increase Coffee Consumption.
The setback this year came latei
than in the two previous years, and
so far has been extremely mild
relatively.
Walters in every restaurant in the
country are in natural conspiracy TO
increase the coffee consumption OF the
people The average moral is subject
to suggestion, and the disposition of
walters to ask each patron whether
he wishes coffee is a tremendous sales
factor. The American people used
more coffee last year than ever before
II 500, coo, 600 pounds, valued at
$323. 1851 ,5S2. This exceeds the con
sumption of the previous year by 10
per cent in volume and 12.5 per cent
in value.
What would the effects be on the
beverage drinking habits of the
Nation if the walters could be in
duced to vary their suggestions with
cocoa and milk, instead of continuing
the irresistible repetitive appeal of
coffee
Is the new high mark in coffee
further evidence of the
rising standard of living of Ameri-
cans, or are we merely becoming
further addicted to a habit?

The output OF perfumes and toilet
preparations in the United States null
tiplied six times in the last 10 years.
According to a survey by the Amerl.
can Chemical Society, cream and
rouges stood first in value, dentrifices
next, and the others followed in this
order Perfumery and toilet waters,
hair tonics, hair dyes and miscel-
laneous cosmetics. The total annual
output of cosmetics reached $14l,-
ASS, 900.
In seeking to explain the great ex-
pansion in this industry, the learned
society referred to the great addic-
ton of girls and women to cosmetics
of all kinds than before the World
War" and to the rise 'of artificial and
synthetic aromatic compounds.
In a complex business civilization
like ours giant industries depend on

and there can always be raised the
question of predominance OF trend
in one direction or the other. Voca-
tional success In different occupations
calls for different degrees of these
qualities" -
Eighth, loyalty. Loyalty" asserts
DIR. Hall, sis allegiance to the group
and subordination of self to service.
Loyalty to self condition all other
Royalties This is the idea of con-
science. There is loyalty to parents.
friends country and ideals. This trait
is the taproot of all social institutions.
Loyalty recognizes authority. from
which il will not revolt. There are
many grades of loyalty. Excess or
defect constitutes prime determiner
of success or failure in life"
These success hints are based on
lifetime of mature thought and
expert study. They have been
culled from DIR. Halls extensive
writings and speeches by industrial

to success than G.. stanley Hall, pio-
neer psychologist and world famous
educator. He stresses eight foremost
characteristics.
First, health. ITO succeed" he
says. 'one must. first OF all, be a good
animal. Decline IN physical vigor ~
the cause of most failures, and poor
physical condition is the cause or
many accidents"
Second. second breath. Much or

Hall, has been done in a state or
mental exaltation akin to what ath-
letes call the second breath. This Is
the state of inspiration. Second
breath is a natural phenomenon. IL
is the tapping of the reserve energy

Vital Part of Education.
This power to let oneself go can best
be acquired during adolescence. Pc
RODS of excitement are necessary to
its development To command this
ability is a vital part of higher self
education. The great man is he who
has learned successfully to tap these
energies.
Third, emotional control. There
are dangers in too much sorrow OF

man is he who has the elasticity of
rebound to experience extremes of
emotion and does not remain domi-
mated by them"
Fourth, sympathy. sympathy"
SAYS the psychologist, lis the power
to feel with others. to see the~world

called the herd instinct. Evolution

Fifth, love of nature.
sixth. sublimation. "Sublimation,
SAYS DR. Hall, sis the capitalization
of the animal tendencies in life. 1t
is the substitution of socially desir-
able activities for others less desir-
able. The senses originally developed
to warn of danger and assist In the
food quest have been sublimated to
the quest for knowledge. Man owes
his aggressiveness to wrath. NO one

Ccnaming Out OF The Mud


One of the chief benefits the
farmer derives from really good
roads is that of being able to
move his farm products to market
over them, quickly, cheaply and
without inconvenience. The far
mer's crops are his stock in trade.
If he ca market them with
out delay when the price is
up, he is the gamer; if, because
of bad roads, he is unable to get
his products to the market until
after the price has declined, he
loses.
In the old days when roads
were good only in good weather,
the farmer could do little salts
factory marketing. He was for
ced to take q chance of getting
his products to the buyer on d
rising market,
One decided advantage in good
roads is that they encourage he
use Of motor vehicles by the far
mer, effecting a saving in time
and worry in crops, and in get
ting his family to church and
children to school.
Thousands of miles of poor
roads which act as feeders for
main highways are being made
practical for modern traffic at 2
minimum expense, by protecting
the old base with a waterproof
wearing surface, Thus farm
land is made available Tor use,
which would otherwise be isolated
due to distance from schools and
markets and prohibitive cost of
building standard types of state
highway payements,
The modern tractor and road
machinery plus the waterproof
ing qualities of asphalt are ena-
bling hundreds of communities
to come out of the mud.
