DID YOU EVER SEE A "MILL"?
Robert r. Johnston
Advertising Executive New York
CITY.

Not the old grist mill down by the
lake where your grandfather took
his grain to be ground Not the cof-
fee mill in the grocery store at the
corner. Not the grinding machinery
in the cement plant.
Those are not the kind of mills we
mean when we say Ten mills make
one cent, ten cents make one dime,
ten dimes make one dollar"
Just think what you can buy with
one cent-a stick of chewing gum,
a postal card, one cigarette, one
fifth of a five-cent cigar, a slice or
two of bread, a bite of meat.
No divide each of those by ten, and
you have some conception of the
value to you of one mill.
Ten times ten times ten-there are
one thousand of these imaginary
units called mills in every dollor.
And just one of those little insig-
nificent mills is the risk you take
when you deposit a dollar in a
bank!
Bill Smith has salary of $4,000
per year and spends every cent of
it. He deposits $416.67 on the first
of the month and on the last day of
the month has nothing left. But his
average deposit is $2O8.3S, and by
punching a lot of Bill Smiths to-
gether, the bank has the use of that
amount multiplied by the number of
Bill Smiths.
The President of the United States
with all the information at his COM
mand, tells you that the amount of
property in banks which is not cas-
lily converted into usable cash and
credit is only 20 per cent of the to-
tai deposits.
We have seen how Bill Smiths in
come of $4,000 creates an average

a college course. None Of Antiochs young men have
startled the world as yet, but 1t seems q safe bet that
they are fully as well equipped to take their places in
commerce and industry as the boys who spent their en-.
tire time in the classroom.
Another example Of competition for the current system
Of education Is found in the creation, by a leading auto
mobile firm, Of a school for young men In which Is taught
the theory as well as the practice Of the various func-
tions Of automobile manufacture. The students are care
fully selected and the school has a long waiting list. The
asserts that 1t expects these boys to take
places in the factory as mechanical experts. They are
hand picked and trained for the work by q man who al
ready has served as instructor at one Of the leading engi-
neering schools in the country.
1t isn't exactly apprenticeship as we used to know it
but it amounts to the same thing, for 1t Is learning by
application simultaneous with instruction.
II this trend develops further 1t may be that our present
educational system will find in the new one a real COM
petitor.

ing the air in and the same number
while exhaling.
Walking is one of the most health.
full forms of exercising which you can
indulge in and you should plan on
having a good daily walk. One of the
best times for this is in the evening
just before you go to bed. Do not
walk long enough to tire yourself out
at first. Try to increase the dis
lance a little each day. Suppose you
can walk a half mile without firing
the first day. Try to add maybe an
eighth of a mile a day until you are
able to walk four or five miles with
out becoming tired. You will find in
this way you can build up your vital
ity to al amazing degree.
This is the fifth day Of the elimi-
native diet, and you should continue
with the non-Starchy vegetable diet
for two more days, also using the
enemas, sponge baths, etc. After
this, use the diet outlined in my FRI
day menus.
I am sure that ali of those who are
taking this course will notice a great
benefit at the end of that time and
I would be glad to have any Of sou
write to me If any special problems
have arisen, and I would also like to
hear Of the benefits which have been
received.

The Undeceived Mr.. Mellon

Andrew W.. Mellon, secretary Of the treasury, has no
fanciful illusions regarding economic conditions through
ing foreign bankers at Washington he pointed clearly to
the undisputed fact that the present spell Of depression
is world wide. and that the world IS passing through
He apparently Is not joshing himself into the belief
that the depression will end abruptly, but he Is convinced
that the reversal will not be an easy or fast one. "solu.
tons which some times appear IDEAL" he said, cannot
always be put into effect for various reasons. One Is
that in each country government must deal primarily
with the facts Of their own case' q ana n are i,es 70 ,s aH cn.y
economic organization, and the limited understanding
that exists in every country Of other peoples problems
and Of the extent to which all Of Us are affected by con-
ditions outside of our own borders"
The secretary of the treasury is one of the worlds
leading students Of economics. especially as they are
related to finance. He is mentally and by experience
equipped to give authoritative opinions on these mat
tiers, and inasmuch Is 1t has been . habit Of his to
day. the first Of its lind which he had delivered in two
years. is considered a great contribution to the present
economic situation.
The depression had been coming for some time before
it actually struck and threw the world into economic
chaos, unemployment and hungry mouths. It Is quite
evident that some countries. like our own, Tor example,
were just q bit too confident Of their economic position.
of their postwar prosperity to realize that such q period
Of depression would come: It caught them Oft their
guard. SO to speak. The Wau street Crash i1,gnsen s
drought came, adding to the economic chaos.
The process from the depression to comparative pros
pertty will be . gradual one. but It will take place. The
present situation demands q complete readjustment Of
our entire economic structure. The world faces new
problems, which must be met with new means. There
Is no need to become discouraged, no need OF being overly
pessimistic. The readjustment must come, just as surely
as periods Of depression have always followed periods OF
prosperity. 49,.
