WEALTH

What is wealth? is the challeng-
ing question rising out of our confus-
ing experiences of the past two years.
Gold has everywhere been the meas
ure of wealth, and yet country after
country has found that gold does not
unlock the door to national wealth.
In 1929 we pointed with pride to
the value of stocks bought and sold
in our stock exchange, and to the un-
precedented volume of such trans
actions. Two years brought shrink
ing in security values of over fifty
billions of dollars. Though we now
have a large share of the worlds gold
supply, and though our banks are
full of money and commercial assets,
raw materials are at hand, crops are
large, we have found ourselves grow
ing poorer because industries have
slowed down and our markets are
falling off.
France has accumulated enormous
gold resources, intended to make her
the financial and political dictator of
Europe, yet 80 per cent fall in her
export trade has brought unemploy-
ment and business depression.
In practically all countries events
have duplicated the demonstration
that wealth does not consist in gold
or securities.
Our difficulty has lain in our fail
ure to see the production process as
the source of wealth. Our wealth lies
in the production of commodities
and services, and is stabilized by

hate to admit it, but it begins to look
as though the man may be right. He
declares that inhalations of mixture
of per cent carbon dioxide and SO per
cent oxygen should be administered to
each and every newborn baby, from an
inhalator (not a lung motor for 10
minutes three times day for the first
few days.
That is tantamount to saying that
every infant is born asphyxiated. Prof.
Henderson does not say 1t in just that
way, but he does say that the asphyxi-
ated respiratory center of the newborn,
or of q drowned person, requires a
much higher pressure OF carbon dioxide
than does a normal center to stimulate
it into respiratory activity" That
pressure of carbon dioxide" means the
proportion of carbon dioxide In the
mixture inhaled.
It was this irrepressible Prof. Yandell
Henderson who told us doctors few
years ago that the rite Of spanking the
newborn baby to make the infant cry
and breathe is a mere rite and has moth
ing to do with the initiation Of breath
ing. This rather rolled some Of us old
timers who had, as we fondly imagined.

But the hard bitten professor stood
stolidly on his scientific ground and
smiled at our hoary medical traditions.
He pretty we'll proved beyond peradven-
ture or cavil that carbon dioxide, not
irritation of the skin nor the shock OF
cold water, is the actual stimulant OF
respiration. without carbon dioxide
the bimbo just can't start breathing,
and that's all there Is about 1t.
Even we older doctors who rely so
much on experience and so little on
mere theory or laboratory experiments
recognize that quite a few babies are
born asphyxiated and Just between our
selves we recognize, too, that we have
failed to resuscitate too many such non

Here comes the bride!"
That refrain will rise from no one
knows how many churches during the
month Of June. The smart June bride
Is already planning something besides
her costume and trousseau. She Is be-
ginning to think about the home where
she and the man of her choice can
attempt to demonstrate that two can
live as cheaply as one.
One of the first things the prospective
br1oe will want to do in planning her
new home is to budget the funds she
has 10 spend. This is the only sure
way to avoid the unsatisfactory result
Of having the living room overfur-
niShed, while possibly the dining room
looks rather bare and the bed room is
scarcely even adequate in equipment.
NO one can say with any certainty
how the home furnishings money
should be spent, but a guide can be
set up which will be helpful It Is
only guide and will have to be used
with consideration of the aims. of the
bride and bridegroom and the homes
architectural features.
Since linens, silver and kitchen equip
ment are so very much a matter of
taste, this budget will be based upon
the assumption that these items have
been provided for. The PERCENTAGES
suggest here may be applied to a d.
vision of the money which Is set aside
for home furnishings other than these.
The fact that part Of the kitchen
equipment Is often included In the
home when the house Is rented or built

Prof. Henderson's latest contribution
than we were to dismiss his suggestion
that spanking was a useless method Of
treatment for aSphyxiation.
The inhalator for administering the
carbon dioxide and oxygen to the new
born infant Is a portable one, consist
ing Of a cylinder of oxygen and carbon
dioxide, a special mask to At around the
face, a needle valve arrangement and
an infatable rubber bag. The bag Is
filled with the proper mixture, the mask
carefully applied to fit around the face
lit has inhatable rubber RIM and the
doctor simply squeezes the bag gently to
initiate the baby's lungs, then presses
gently on the baby's chest to cause ex-
piration. This, Prof. Henderson assures
us, is quite as effective as any more
complicated apparatus for artificial
respiration can ever be, and 1t Is with
out the risk of injury to the lungs which
such apparatus involves. It is prob
ably the best known means Of prevent
ing atelectasis collapse Of lung or fall

Everyday Psychology
The Personal Equation.
BIT DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

Do you know what is meant by the
term personal equation? OF course,
not. No one knows. That's why it's
called the personal equation.
But II you must talk about the per-
Sonal equation, you can sideStep some
OF your ignorance by referring to 1t as
the underlined and perhaps undeflnable
factors OF personality"
In everyday psychology you do, how
ever, come to have some practical con-
ception OF personal equation. In every
case this conception amounts to your
practicable knowledge of the person
supposed to have the said equation. In
your own mind you ascribe to your &C
quaintances certain character traits
which are sure to crop out under GER
tain conditions
That other psychological term known
as the complex" is at least a good de-
scriptive equivalent of personal equa-
ton" II you know man to have a
money complex, you know how to figure
him out. You have sized him up-that
Is, you have added to, subtracted from
and otherwise equated your subject
The result Of all this reasoning is his
personal equation. That's what it Is so
far as you are concerned. Another per-
son will find somewhat different equa-
ton for the same subject. That's not so
strange. You yourself are one of the
"undefinable factors" in the personal
equation Of every one you deal with.

Suits and Coats.

Which shall 1t be, a coat or q suit?
That Is a question many women are
asking this Spring. They must have
something new of the substantial sort
for the Summer and can't decide which
will be most useful most attractive.
OF course, the answer Is, both. Have
q suit, have a coat.
It isn't very expensive to have both,
either, for, of course, coat or suit that
does all-ti1ne duty gets much harder
wear than one that Is worn only part
of the time; therefore, the life of the
two garments II twice as long as the
life Of one of them alone would be If
you wore that for all occasions when
the other would be suitable.
There are some most attractive Sum-
mer coat suits, of dark crepe de chine
or fiat crepe, that can be bought for q
a very reasonable amount. And it Is
quite possible to make inexpensive
blouses or to buy them.
Goats, too may be bought for rea-
sonable prices, and they make 1t posi-
BILE to wear out our inexpensive frockS
There are some most attractive
blouses made of checked gingham,
edged with narrow white footing, for
informal wear. There are blouSes OF
white crepe or satin for formal wear,
or of dusty pink crepe.
Street suits are sometimes made with
q checked skirt and a plain jacket, have
pockets and belt of the checks.
Some of the new white blouses are
made with Scalloped edges along fronts,
collar and lower edge as well as sleeve
ends.
one Of the smartest ways Of wearing
the Spring suit is with q sleeveless
