Form Syndicate

But the whole world Is
treasure hunting these days,
and serious men of affairs
bankers, lawyers, merchants
are as romantic about it as II
they were sailing with Captain
John Silver bound for Treasure
Island. In New York great
syndicate has been formed to
salvage cargo of ivory lost off
the African coast, and to seek
other sea-floor treasure troveS.
Captain Arthur I. Henriques,
of the United States Naval Re
serve, retired, tells me that in
the past twenty years the Amer
ican merchant marine alone
has lost over four thousand,
six hundred ships, with a
cargo value of a hundred and
thirty million dollars. There's
enough promise of adventure in
that to last the syndicate mem
bers all their natural lives.
Even with the new machines
and the electric gadgets, treas.
ure hunting cannot be robbed
OF its romance. It would be
dull day for modern youth and
groWnups, too, if the time ever
came when there were no more
Spanish galleons or doubloons
or pieces of eight, no more pi-
rate chests of gold and jewels,
no more maps and charts to-
treasure islands in faraway seas.
And I believe, as surely as I
am writing this, that the time
will come when adventures will
walk freely about the bottom
of the sea, seeking in mysteri-
GUS depths. among unsuspected
monsters of the deep, the vel
low gold-almighty gold-for

wrote to the Countess of Rut.

Sherley Qualified

They would have been the
gamer for the following rea-
sons:
Mr.. Sherley is an eminent
lawyer. He was one of the
ablest chairmen that the House
Committee on Appropriations
has ever had.
His gifts of character, his in
tellectual endowment, his pas
sionate faith in the fitness Of
the American people to govern
themselves, and his devotion to
the principles on which the
Government of the Constitu-
ton was established, qualified
him for distinguished service,
not only as Director of the
Budget, but also as Governor
General of the Philippines or
Secretary of War.
Those Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress who
know Mr.. Sherley are confident
that as Director of the Budget
he would never have made the
mistake of imagining himself
to be the possessor of even more
extensive powers than those en-
joyed by a British chancellor
of the exchequer. He would
have been content to admins
ter the dictatorship of the
budget as that office was Gre
ated by an American Congress.
An example of the kind Of
blunder which Mr.. Sherley would
never have made as Director Of
the Budget is to be found in
the absurd situation that exists
in the office of Director of the
Budget today.
At a time when this office
should be chiefly concerned
with preparing for the President
accurate information obtained
from the Cabinet upon which
his budget recommendations to
Congress can be based, the
Budget Director, with the assist

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

BUT If YOU REALLY WANT
TO LIVE ABUNDANTLY AND
BEAUTIFULLY
IF YOU WANT, IN YOUR
SHORT SPAN OF YEARS, TO
TAKE PART IN THE GREAT
CRUSADES AND GLIMPSE
THE TALL GLORIES-
THEN 1T DOES PAY TO BE
GOOD!
You may lose your friends
thereby; your job; your bank
roll; your reputation. You may
be ridiculed, abused, slandered.
And you will certainly have to
endure endless loneliness and
encouragement. Yet, in spite
of all that, if you really want
to get the most out of life, and
are willing to ante up the
price
IT PAYS TO BE GOOD!
BY that do I mean that, after
this earthly travail, you will go
to heaven and be rewarded with
harps and haloes?
I do not. For all I know, our
existence may end with our
last breath. But even if it
does-even if there is nothing
more than this little life
IT STILL PAYS TO BE
GOOD!
If there is no more. all the
more reason to make the most
of this. And the honest, brave,
kind, clean man does make the
most of this. He has a peace
and he has power no other
man can know. In the bitterest
hour of persecution, he has the
consolation of his own self
respect. In the blackest hour
of grief, he can remember
stars!
It pays to be good. Don't ever
doubt it.
But also-don't kid yourself
it hurts like Hades!
But what of that? Isn't any
great adventure worth the
price?

Vaulting Ambition

ing the British fleet. And
should one appear, his appear
ance would be very brief. Brit
ish public sentiment would see
to that. And the British par
lament would also have some"
thing to say about that.
AS a matter of fact, Congress
will make short shrift of the
Director of the Budgets preten-
sions to supreme authority IN
regard to where what is left
of our Regular Army should be
stationed either in continental
United States or in our over
seas possessions. He has no
more authority under the law,
no more qualification, to do this
than he would have to say
what kind of propellers our pur-
suit planes should have, or what
kind of glass should be used by
the Bureau of Standards in
some of it's more technical tests.
If the Roosevelt administra-
ton is to maintain its record OF
keeping several steps ahead OF
Congress, it will make quickly
evident the fact that the redis-
tribution of the Army is no part
of the business of the holder OF
the office for which Swagar
Sherley of Kentucky was the
Presidents first and most ex-
cellent choice.

someone must check up on

But it is the ones who are

Unless President Roosevelt is
able to stop the usurpations Of
power in the field of policy by
the Director of the Budget, the
petty dictatorship set up by this
well-intentioned but ill-advised
and inexperienced holder of
this office will seriously jeop-
ardize the splendid leadership
of President Roosevelt when
Congress reconvenes.
Unfortunately for the Roose-
velt Administration the present
Director of the Budget was not
first choice. Had President
Roosevelt been able to obtain
the services of Swagar Sherley,
of Kentucky, as Director of the
Budget, not only the President,
but the nation, would have
been the gamer.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

Some women Strangle love
to death with jealousy, or choke
the life out of it with demands,
exactions, tears or kisses. And
some men freeze love to death
with criticism or indifference,
crush it out with petty selfish
ness, or send it into a coma
from neglect.
Lots of people dodge love,
these days, as they would dodge
a creditor. They will risk their
lives in airplanes, gamble their
fortunes in Wall Street and
merrily flirt with death at rail
road crossings. But they Shiver
at the thought of stalking their
affections or their hearts on
anybody. They live in the
cold fear of becoming emotion
ally entangled and taking a
chance on happiness.
But most of us just SELL
1ove-for anything that's Of
fered-or exchange it, as we
do our old furniture. For am
bition, for a career, for what
we fondly call our freedom"
or what-have-you?
Lots of young women have
given up love and marriage in
exchange for what they thought
was duty" And lots of fine
young men have let the love
they priced die of starvation,
while they worked overtime try
ing to get rich enough to marry
the girl.
How many bleak old men we
meet, who preferred their crea-
ture comforts to love and COM
panionship. And how many
modern young women we meet,
who feel that no mans love
could repay them for the "inde-
pendence" of their pay enve-
1opes. That's selling love
aWfully CHEAP!
We're a bright lot of boys and
girls-we humans! Well SELL
ANYTHING-love, health, hap
piness-and sell it cheap. And
yet, the only things worth
WHILE in this life are the
