the department by performing minor

PERSONAL PROSPERITY.

We have often heard it said that the
United States is the most prosperous
country in the world. But is it? What
is prosperity?
When we analyze the situation,
every individual knows that prosper
ity is a personal matter. Taken as a
whole, the United States is the most
prosperous nation in the world, but
what matters the aggregate wealth of
a populous country such as ours, if
the citizens individually are not
wealthy?
Applying the individual principal,
we find that Switzerland is the most
prosperous country in the world. Ac-
cording to survey made of 40 coun-
tries, the Swiss people have a per
capita wealth of $3,126, which prob
ably represents not less than $4,000
per family.
New Zealand, country which we
seldom consider from the standpoint
of wealth, comes second with $3,029
per capita, and the United States
third with $2,908.

Va, under the scoutmastership of
Rev. A. ]. Torrey, formerly of Oak
land, which has been encamped on
Deep Creek Lake for the past two
weeks, left Sunday afternoon. The
camp was considered very successful

second-class scouts since the begin

The troop has been organized only
since March, 1929, and all were en-
thusiastic about the camping site of
the Oakland troop of Boy Scouts,
where they spent the two weeks. The
members of the troop were taken by
boat from the camp to the Allegheny

varied methods of learning from the

but the one most stressed was that of

method of learning by experience.

INSPECT BEDDING BEFORE
BUYING IS ADVICE GIVEN
All Sorts of Things Masquerade
Under Name of Bedding

Nothing bought today offers great
er opportunity for deception or substi-
tuition than articles of bedding" DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health said recently in
speaking of the operation of the State
Bedding Law.
''In connection with the inspections
made by the Department under the
Bedding Law, our representatives
have found all sorts of things mas
querading under names to which they
were not entitled-a vegetable fibre
labeled hair; chopped chicken
feathers tagged as down; shoddy,
listed as all new cotton; even chunks
of dirt swept up into the filings of
more or less extensively covered COM
forts.
But the most serious menace to
health was discovered recently in the
operations of a concern which claimed
to specialize in the renovating or re-
making of bedding for religious insti-
tutions. Inspection of the plant
showed that the stock from which a
large number of mattresses and pill
lows were to be made consisted of a
number of second hand mattresses,
pillows and feather beds, bought from
a rag dealer, evidently salvaged from
garbage piles or dumps and all of it
heavily infested with vermin. For
tunately, for the health and comfort
of the prospective purchasers, the
discovery was made before any of this
material was put on the market.
Before they buy mattresses, COM
forts, pillows or other bedding, it
would be we'll for official stamp bear
ing the name of the State Department
of Health.
"The State Bedding Law requires
each mattress pillow or comfort, made
or offered for sale in the State. to
have attached to it a tag on which is
printed or stamped, a truthful state
ment of the material used in filling
it. The stamp bearing the name of
the Maryland State Department of
Health shows that the factories in
which the articles were made and the
materials used, are regularly inspect
ed by the Department"

THE BUSINESS MAN.

America comes in for a good deal
of heightened criticism, every so often,
because of the way it "glorifies" its
business men.
Foreign-born visitors and native
born novelists have told US repeatedly
that we are a small-souled dollarwor-
shipping folk because we have so
much respect for our great Industrial
lists, The theory seems to be that any
man who can write even a third-rate
novel OF paint even a fifth-rate picture
has something of the divine spark in
him, while the factory owner or rail
road magnate is a cross, unimagina-
tive and utterly sordid sort of chap.
Perhaps all of this is quite true.
But now and then it seems as if our
finest artists-our most imaginative
creative workers-are in truth the
business leaders.
Consider, for instance, the two ia
NOUS Van Sweringen brothers of
Cleveland.
The outlines of their story are quite
familiar. They started out as real es-
tate developers, prospered, bought a
railroad, prospered with it, bought
several more, built a vast union ter
minal for their home city and put to-
gether one Of the largest railroad sys-
TENS in the country out of the lines
they had bought.
They made themselves very rich do
ing it. On the face of it, there seems
no reason to claim any especial crea-
tive genius for them.
Yet they are artists-using an en-
tire city as their medium.
They have taken scores of square
miles of rolling country land outside
of Cleveland and transformed it into
home sites. That, to be sure, has been
done by any number of real estate
operators; but the Van Sweringens
have done it new way. They have
put these suburbs far out in the coun-
try, away from noise and smoke and
dirt-and then have used their rail
road lines to make these outlying vii
lagos actually closer to the heart of
the city, in point of time, than other
neighborhoods not half so far away
in actual miles.
They have done this on such scale
that the whole future development of
Cleveland is being changed. Indeed,
it is predicted that the population of
the city itself may actually decrease
in the next few years, because so
many citizens are moving to the new
suburbs.
Now this is something more than
the work of ordinary real estate men.
1t is a movement of extreme import
ance. 1t may, quite conceivably, point
the way in the matter of urban de-
velopment for the whole country, and
solve the perpleXing problem of the
modern city-how to grow in size and
yet provide decent living conditions
for the inhabitants.
The work these brothers are doing
is making Cleveland a beautiful
charming city. 1t is, quite literally,
making a better sort of life possible
for many thousands of people. 1t is
alleviating the worst features of our
urban civilization.
Who can deny that business men
of this type are creative geniuses as
well? Do such men need to tip their
hats to superscilious scribblers p

GROUP Of SEVEN
PLAN PILGRIMAGE.
Informal Federation to Meet
Annually at Tomb of
Unknown Soldier.

The war is over. but seven organiza-
tions that ministered to the welfare of
American troops in France have de-
cided to perpetuate the bond of fellow
ship and service that united them more
than a decade ago.
In token of that agreement, The
Seven, as the informal federation is
known, will meet each Armistice day at
the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. and
then prepare a permanent printed rec
ord of the solemn pilgrimage.
Keep Record of Meeting.
The record of this years meeting
ington, will be put into print in a
pamphlet under the caption. The
Tribute of the Seven" Copies of the
pamphlet will be distributed to each of
the organizations, which are: The
Young Mems Christian Association, the
Young Women's Christian Association,
the National Catholic War Council Gin
Guiding the knights of Columbus). the
Jewish Welfare Board, the Salvation
Army. the War Camp Community
Service and the American Library As
ISOLATION.
The pamphlet, now being prepared
by C. E. Fleming, representing the Y.
M. C. A.. will quote Rev. Father John
j. Burke. representing the National
Catholic War Council, as follows:
ours is representative voice. In
the day of our country's need. our
people joined in actual sacrifice, in eff
fort and in labor with our soldiers and
sailors. Their work was our work also.
I'VE wish to perpetuate the bond that
united us then. We can find no more
fitting way to do so than by reafhrming
it every Armistice day at the tomb of
the Unknown Soldier. 1t is most fitting
we should do so, for we expressed a
