CYCLES OR PROSPERITY

People who complain because busi-
ness does not recover its old pros
perity more rapidly, should consid-
er how these experiences occur af-
ter every great war. 1t was so in the
days following our great War Be
tween the States from 1861 to 1885.
1t was so in Europe after the Ma
pQleOnic wars.
These experiences follow regular
cycles. The governments are forced
by war to buy quantities of supplies,
which leads to great advances in
prices and wages. People feel that
this inflated level will continue in
definitely. Governments, cities, cor
porations, farmers, borrow big sums
based on high prices and inflated
earnings.
Some little thing will prick that
bubble 1t may be some big failure,
or many small ones. People become
suspicious. The banks as people to
pay their loans, people sell securities
to pay their debts, stock markets fall,
people create runs on banks, those
who have lost money restrict pur-
chases, people are thrown out of
work, earnings of corporations and
individuals decline, and they can't
pay their debts.
From every such experience, re-
cOvery came in time by natural eau
ses. What causes it? Principally,
because in such a period people con-
sumo more than they produce. Our
present statistics of retail distribu-
tiOn show more sales than the facto-
ries are producing. One of these
days a thousand merchants will dis
cover that they haven't goods en-
Ough to supply even a limited de-
mand, and they will order all at
once. Then the upward cycle will
start going again.
Wise legislation will help, and ex-
in cities, states, and the
government will hinder, creating the
fear that debts will not be paid.
With prudent management of all
forms of government, and faith in
our country, the upward cycle will
come with the regularity of clock
work.

.GRADUATE JOE SEEKERS

The young people of the gradual
ing classes face life with anxious
eyes. They read of many people out
of employment, and they ask if the
world is not already oversupplied
with workers. is there some little
niche in it for me?" is the universal
question.
Youth smiles at the future. The
young folks do their share of worry
ing, but their mood changes lightly.
When the gang says "C'mon", the
cares of the world slip off their
elastic backs, and they dance and
sing as if life were all moonlight and
roses. But next day, that job prob
lem again leers at them.
Young people right out of school
have a certain advantage here i'm
Delaware They do not expect high
pay. If they graduated from a good
school, they have demonstrated a
certain type of ability and fidelity.
Employers will take a chance ON
them, if they have vacancies.
The graduate has to consider the
art of selling his services. 1t takes
salesmanship, as in selling automO-
biles or radios. He has to consider
what qualities appeal to a possible
employer. He has to convince hard
boiled managers who have seen many
young people peter out in
the face of difficulties.
Il am willing to do any kind of
work" Probably that little phrase
Of nine words has done more to get
people jobs than the diploma of any
institution. Employers
should expect to give everyone fair
reatment, but they feel that people !
should be willing to do whatever |
leeds to be done. A willing floor |
iweeper may interest them more I
han. the scientific specialist whose
are not needed for his kind .
# work. The low start may seem
iscouraging, but any kind of job ,
ives a chance to display thorough
ess and fidelity.

WORSHIP OF BIGNESS

The American people worship
bigness, according to a leading
speaker before the National Fedora
tion of Women's Clubs. Big sky
scrapers, big cities, big fortunes,
control of big industries, seem to be
what they want.
A city that is anxious for big pop
ulation, frequently is so badly gov
erned that life there is undesirable.
Hustling for big rolls of money often
means vanished and faded friend
ships. Big industries sometimes
spread out so thin that they can't
operate regularly. A little less
grasping for bigness, and more
search for superior quality, would
help people do better in their Jobs,
and get more out of life.

PUSH

To use the old term, you have to
show push, in order to make a
success in business. 1t is generally
admitted that to win success in
trade, business must be. pushed. If
you just run along in the old rut,
you will never get anywhere. A sue
cessful business concern must be
constantly pushing, reaching out,
for new trade. Old customers are
moving away and dying, new ones
must constantly be found to take
their places, if concern is simply
to hold its own, not to speak of
growing.
The simplest, easiest, and least
expensive manner of showing push,
is to advertise in the newspapers.
No other method of reaching out for
trade accomplishes so much for so
little.

OCEAN AIR LINES POSSIBLE

Transoceanic fliers in convention
at Rome have decided, though with
some dissenters, that the establish
ment of regular air lines across the
Atlantic ocean is now possible. If
successful there, it will not be long
before they will run all over the
world. Change planes for Aus
tralia, South Africa, and Japan" may
be a common cry in a few years.
But the average traveller asks
how about storm and fog, of which
the trans-oceanic fiiers have found
plenty. The North Atlantic in par
ticular manufactures fog as facto-
ries turn out coal smoke. Before
penetrating into those terrible soil
tudes, so far from human help, so
at the mercy of cruel nature forces,
the traveller will want some surety
that his airship can quickly drive
through the misty mystery.

1O4 MILES AN HOUR

The record of Freddie Frame at
the Indianapolis motor speedway,
who covered 500 miles with an aver
age of more than 104 miles an hour,
is enough to take anyone's breath
away. The people who used to wor-
ry when their railroad train made
60 miles an hour, will say they do
not want to go at any such speed
as that.
The human body and mind that
can keep up such dizzy speed for
nearly five hours must be made of
steel. 1t is also a suggestion that
automobiles have reached a state Of
mechanical perfection undreamed
of a few years ago, and if they get
into trouble, it is usually because
they were neglected

THE MOST COLRFUL SCENE

The national convention of a great
political party is said to be about
the most colorful and picturesque
scene in American life. No other
country has anything like it. Foot
ball, baseball, races, draw great
cheering crowds and make as much
noise. But they do not touch the
deep issues of life as the national
conventions do.
In these meetings we see the con-
flict of the deepest passions and emo
tions. Every inherited tradition,
every sectional prejudice, every oc-
cupational rivalry, meet in one
grand clash. Considering how in
tensely people feel about these is
sues, they show a marvellous self
control in accepting the results as
calmly as they do.

CHILDREN AT THE WHITE
HOUSE

Public business was laid aside at
the White House the other day when
three little children, ranging from
ten to thirteen, asked for an audi
ence with the President, to plead for
their father who, they insisted, had
been wrOngfully sent to prison. The
young ambassadors, two girls and a
boy, who had come all the way from
Detroit, were admitted at once into
the Presidents private Office and
when they came out again they were
all aglow with the greeting they
had received.
He shook hands with us all when
we went in. l thought a President
was very stern, but he wasn't a bit
He gave us all bicentennial pin. !"
Thus the girl of thirteen reported
the interview. Then the boy of ten
broke in. "He patted me ON the
head" he said. Apparently nobody
heard him. 81 said he patted me on
the head" the boy repeated in
voice that carried al lover the re-
ception room.
1t is certain that the President
did not ask that any law be violated
or any court decision set aside be-
cause three little children asked him
to get their father out of Jail. But it
is equally certain that he had the
matter promptly and carefully look
ed into to see whether or not the
man was properly a prisoner. The
appeal of a child is something the
present President of the United
States simply can't resist.
