BUSINESS AND PROSPERITY.
ON TAKING ADVICE.
MEMORIAL TO COLUMBUS.
EDUCATION CAN END CRIME.

Secretary Hoover summarize,
the last year as regards wages
and employment thus:
There was little unemploy-
ment except during a moder-
ate recession near the end Of
the year and the rate of real
wages remained higher than
anywhere else in the world. or
than in any other time in the
worlds history. The high
prospect of the year did not
represent merely an upward
swing in the business cycle,
but was the result of that
general and permanent prog
reSs which has marked the
nations business"
That is a situation for Amefi
can business men to keep in theii
minds, thus avoiding damaging
doubtful hesitation. Business ana
prosperity in this country have
climbed to a permanently highel
plane and, bar ing foolishness, viii
stay there.
John D. Rockefeller, eighty
eight years old, Immediately
changes his Stance" at golf, whea
told by a professional that he
stood too close to, the ball. That
change heightened his drive b
twenty yards.
Mr.. Rockefeller has said thai
his success iii the beginning was
due to patience and economy.
It may have been due also to hia
ability to listen to others and take
advice. That is thing that many
young men who would like to be
Rockefellers have not learned to
do.
Christopher Columbus memory
is to be honored by building
magnificent lighthouse costing 81,
100000. What is left of Columbus
body will lie under the lighthouse
on reservation given by the Gov
ernment of San Domingo.
Columbus would be puzzled by
one feature of his memorial, name
lU, lights shooting up into the sas
to guide fliers. He would think
angels were expected. Architects
are invited to compete in this en-
terprise, which should stir the
Imagination. . d
The late Gavin McNab, an ex-
tremely able lawyer of San Fran
cisco, leaves $4,000 to two clients
to make up for McNab's bad ad-
vice about investments.
1t is fortunate for the heirs OF
certain gentlemen in and out OF
Wall Street that such requests are
not customary or compulsory. Ii
Wall Street gentlemen had to
make good losses caused by bad
advice on investments, there would
not be mech left for legal heirs.
The Department of Commerce
says that in ESQ principal cities OF
the United States every human
being pays an average of $4.O0 a
year for police protection. Add
the cost of courts, prisons, dis
trict attorneys, ETC., you find that
crime costs many hundreds of mil
lions a year. Add the "get-rich-
quick crimes" and it runs to bill
lions.
Unfortunately, what Lloyd d
George says OF war is true also Of
crime, only education can end it
And this earth is many centuries
from being really educated.
The London Gazette published
inadvertently an admiralty an
Anouncement of extra pay for offi-
GERS IN CHARGE OF AIR
CRAFT CARRIED BY SUB
MARINES.
That Britain has submarines
equipped with folding aircraft
ready, if necessary, to carry. de-
struction to the enemy's harbors
is secret no longer.
That secret interests this coun-
try. We don't expect war from
Britain, but what the British car
build others can build.
The United States Employment
Service predicts good times and
plenty of work for 1923.
The old bugaboo of bad cleo
ton year seems to have vanished
The ranks of millionaire Ameri-
cans are thinner, only 2o,8o7 ir
1926 against 30,518 in 1925. The
ultra rich, however, are increasing
Two hundred and twenty-eight
Americans had incomes of ST..
100000 or more last year, only zU1
in 1925.
Quite a few have incomes above
100000 a year The Government
does not give their names.
