Federal Reserve Advises
Russia Answers the Pope
In A. D. 1OO193O
Gangsters, Cruel, Silent
Los Angeles.-The federal reserve
chief tells business to go ahead boldly,
showing more initiative, less hesitancy.
Excellent advice Business will ad-
wise the federal reserve, when and II
prosperity booms again, to be less en-
thusiastic about promoting usury, and
run the federal reserve more like q
banking institution. less like pawn
shop.
Reserve board financiers that forced
10 to 20 per cent interest rates, hand
ing hundreds of millions TO money
lenders and adding thousands Of mil
lions in value, temporarily, to inflated
bank stocks, need advice as much as
any business man needs 1t.
Russia, infiamed by the pope's pro-
test against atheistic propaganda, re-
taliates in vindictive fashion. In the
Minsk district a fund is started to
build an airplane, presumably for war.
to be called sour Answer to Pope
Plus" And from the Vsronesh dis
trict workers send to the industrial
fund at Moscow ten carloads Of church
bells, sacred images, crucifixes, etc., to
be melted down. That shipment ID
called IAN answer to the pope"
One item Of news will be remem-
bsred million, and ten million, years
hence.
Nothing else In our age will be of
the slightest consequence, even 100000
years from now.
The news that will outlast recollec-
ton of this age of industrial and fnan-
cial barbarism Is the discovery Of an
other planet In our solar family, sail
ing around outside the orbit Of Nep-
tune.
Earth jewellers in the year one mill
lion nineteen hundred and thirty, a.
they converse In the ozone area, thirty
miles above the earth, will wonder
how such primitive beings as ourselves
could have discovered that planet.
Similarly, we wonder how primitive
cave jewellers could have made those
interesting pictures of rhinocerosss
and horses
Gangsters are not kind to each
other.
John ("Billiksn") Rito described by
police as "a bootleg raoketser," MEM
Der Of the Bugs" Moran gang, lies In
the morgus. Wires with which his
arms, hands and ankles were bound
when he was taken out Of the Chicago
river have been removed The police
wonder who burned the tips OF his
fingers in the process Of torturing him
before he was murdered, and why
they did 1t. They will never know.
Rsoketeers kill, and don't talk.
Golf links, daily dozens, radio SET
ting-up exercises and other devices
are designed for the man who leads Z
sedentary life physically. Edison
wants to know: What about the man
mentally sedentary and inactive? Who
will plan something for him" Many
millions need to be called early on the
radio with this question: "How long
Is 1t since you have exercised your
mind? How much reading worth
while do you do, and how much do
you think as you readf" It Ia mental.
not physical, inactivity that hurts =
nation.
The Union Pacific railroad has
bought 100000 worth Of fine new
motor omnibusses. Railroad men have
passed the phase Of contempt for au-
tomobiles. The Union Pacific will use
% new omnibusses between Chicago
and Los Angeles, II between Portland,
Spokane, Boise and Salt Lake City.
What people think decides what they
are. Prosperity IL to a considerable
extent matter Of psychology.
Once a man was fastened In chair,
his feet put In warm water, and a. 4
practical joke he was shown a razor
of which the blunt end was drawn
across the soles Of his bare feet. He
was told, "You will bleed to death
painlessly in this warm water" He
didn't lose drop Of blood, but hs died.
Don't let prosperity die in that fash
ion, killed by imagination.
Mr.. Edison Is hopeful about q rub
Der supply from goldsnrod. Chemists
who think 1t ought to be done By some
synthetic process and victims Of hay
fever are less optimistic.
The great inventor, eighty-thrss
years old, says he wants only ave
years more to finish this job. and
doesn't ask to live one hundred years.
The death of Primo de Rivera, for
mer Spanish dictator, killed by heart
disease, reminds you that being dicta-
tor Is wearing Job. 1t takes such
a man as Mussolini to stand 1t for a
long time.
