A Ss.naA MILE TnTR

Col. and Mrs. Eindbergh having
arrived safely on American soil
again. innumerable folks who fol-
low their every move feel a little
happier. Their $4,000 mile airplane
journey would have seemed one of
the worlds greatest marvels a few
years ago. But we have become so
accustomed to amazing feats that
nothing seems to startle us now.
We must all pay a tribute of ad-
miratiOn to Mrs. Lindbergh, who as
radio operator on the expedition.
had very much to do with its sue
cess. There are few girls who could
do what she has done. Millions of
young women would have liked to
be Mrs. Lindbergh, but not more

with such a husband. Most of them
would have had to settle down by
the fireside while he performed his
great stunts.

cops AND RORBERs

d
A favorite game In many circles
of the kid world is called "cops and
robbers" 1t seems to be thrilling
at certain age. The question rises
whether a good active kid would
rather play the part, of the cop or
that of the robbeT. Our guess would
be that the robber would be the
more popular. The kid world seems
to see something romantic about the
rObber.
Many parents don't like that kind
of game. They fear it may teach
their offspring to graduate into law
breakers and bandits. More health
full occupations can be found for the
children. However, the young crowd
have a way Of initiating the doings
of the older world. So long as rob-
bers infest the country, many chill
dren will initiate them in their play
at least.
In former years the boys used to
play Indian, and imagine themselves
great Indians or Indian fighters.
They have always loved to play SOL
diers, and imagine themselves heroes

CALENDARS

The gift OF a calendar for the new
year offers people kind of compan-
ionship lasting through that new
period of time. The specially nice
calendars that have appropriate
quotations of poetry or philOsophic
thought for every day or week, are
like some inspiring friend by our
side.
People whose minds are busy with
sOrdid cares of every day will not
stop to read such quotations. But
We should not attach our noses so
closely to the grindstone of daily
life. that we fail notice what the
wise men say about improving the
time.
Every day thus marked on the cal
endar is a kind of treasure. We can
spend it wisely, and get returns for
our time, or we .can waste il like
some foolish spendthrift. Let the
printed sheets of dates which we
call a calendar remind us every day
in the year, that time is passing, and
we must get something valuable out
of each day.

THE HEALTHY GIRLS

Girls who enter college now are
very much healthier than those who
entered 10 years ago, according to
the resident physician of Barnard
College.
Is this improvement equally no.
ticeable among girls who are not
college students? The foolish fad
of reducing weight below a normal
figure is common among young wo-
men, and is perhaps more notice.
able among those who lack the
scholastic ability to enter any col
lege.
Yet the modern girls usually look
well physically. More active life
and more wholesome dressing have
put them on their feet physically.
The old time young lady who used
to faint away when any unpleasant
subject was mentioned, has become
as rare as museum specimen.

PEERING INTO THE FUTTRE

What will 1884 bring to us? What
great events, happinesses or trou-
bles,. will the new year bring to the
nation? Such questions are asked by
the worker, the business man, the
housewife, as all peer into the un-
certainties of the future.
No one can answer. And yet. this
can he said. The year 1888 has been
one of experiment, to a startling de-
gree. We have made, or rather
started, more social and economic
experiments than the country had
tried out for 20 years. Now there are
apt to be benefits coming from ex-
periments of an intelligent charac-
ter, provided they are not too sweep
ing and bewildering.
If an experiment works well, it
has added to human knowledge, and
we all benefit. But if it does not
work, then at least the benefit is
gained that the advocates of that
visionary theory are silenced and
quieted. They have to go way back
and sit down, and let someone else
try to manage things who has
more workable idea.
Business and the industries have
a way of adjusting themselves to al
most any conditions, provided they
only know what to depend upon.
The thing they can't stand is uncer-
tainty. If they can't see what is
ahead, they lose courage and halt.
But as time goes on, and the in
iustries learn what the people ex-
lect of them, the spirit of enterprise
hat is active in the mind of every
ormal American gives them a Wis
on of opportunity. They see the
hance to render useful service, and
arm fair return, and they go

ANOTHER BOLD FLIGHT

The great air journey of Colonel
and Mrs. Lindbergh has continued
an adventurous one until near its
close. Many people would feel that
the hop they made from the interior
OF South America across tropical
forests to the island Of Trinidad, was
one of the most hazardous of their
long journey. Probably much of
that forest territory is an impene-
trable jungle. What would have
happened to this favorite couple, if
they had landed in some steaming
swamp, or among bloody savages?
But the Colonel and his lady ap-
pear such masters of air travel that
they can do anything. Their ma
chine never seems to falter. The
Colonel evidently understands the
mechanics of an airplane so perfect
ly that there is little risk of its balk-
ing, so long as it is under his watch
full care.

THE CLOSED BANKS

From s500.OOO,OO0 to $1,000, ,000, 900
is needed, according TO the Recon-
lstruction Finance Corporation, to
make loans to closed banks. Such
an appropriation would be an enof-
nous addition to the debt which the
government is now piling up so fast.
However, much Of that debt should
eventually be paid back.
The closed banks have assets once
regarded as good, or such securities
would never have been purchased.
If business revives, many of these

and such banks should be able to
repay the amounts they borrowed or
a large part of them.
The benefits to be derived from
opening closed banks would be enor-

deposits in such institutions or own
stock in them, lose the use of GER

aSMALL TOWN STTFFn

That's small town stuff" is a
phrase often heard. People make
that remark when they hear sOme-
thing that they consider unsuited to
modern progressive life. What do
they mean by it, and is small town
stuff necessarily undesirable?
Many of our finest people came
from small towns. A very disprO-
portionate number of leading busi-
ness men and statesmen originated
in small towns. Small town stuff
must have been rather helpful to
them. They learned things in small
towns that were of value.
Small town life helps people to
become democratic. The people are
usually about on level. II there
are differences in wealth and suc-
cess, the people who have money do
not look down on those who lack it.
Everybody speaks to everybody else.
and if anyone is sick or in trouble,
the neighbOrs are quick to offer
help. If that is small
town stuff, it is very much needed
in larger places.
There are some phases of small
own life that are not so good. The
people of many small towns have
Kind of hopeless and stagnant feel
ng. They can't seem to arouse them
selves to take energetic measures
or town improvement. In some
small towns there are local jealous
es and dislilies that prevent people
rom cooperating. Competitors In A.;
business dislike each other, and
will not work together. They may be :
allied small town stuff, but symp- {
oms of these tendencies are found 5

lealthy places to grow up in. We a

1893 IN HISTORY

What contribution has the year
1888 made to history? What will
that year be principally noted for a
generation from now, when children
now unborn will study about the
scenes and events through which we
have just passed?
1t seems probable that the United
States will occupy the center of in
terest in that history, not merely for
American children, but for those of
all intelligent countries. For the
world has been watching with alb
sOrbed interest through the year,
the experiment which our govern
ment is making in new forms for
controlling industry.
The soviet government has been
trying for l6 years the form for con-
trolling industry known as Com
munism. II has not worked too well.
Now the world has turned its face
to the old U. S. A, to observe the
NRA, and the new dear' in all its
many features.
Up to now, industries have been |
largely free to choose their own |
methods of competition. so long as
they did not create monopolies. But /
under the new DEAL" the attempt |
is made to prevent unfair compe-
tition by law. 1t is too soon to form
conclusions about these new meth
Ods. But We can be sure that the
school student of 1868 will have to
learn quite chapter about how that
great change from former methods
worked out. '''' ''''s.'" "'''''' "'
During 1888 the world has kept
brandishing weapons of war, and
with various threats of violence, but
there have been no great conflicts.
1t is not so easy to make war. now
that people are not so anxious to
lend money to war making powers.
The year has brought recognition
Of the Russian government by the
United States, which means a p.
,hance to sell those long bearded d.
Ioys more goods. But there is also
he chance that they may plant
iOme seeds of Communism that
won't help any. However, the end of :.
1888 sees some millions of people !,
who were idle a year be-
ore, which is all to the good.

INVENTORY TIME

The first of the year is a time
when thousands of concerns take an
account of stock. 1t is an anxious
time for many business people. as
they add up long columns of figures.
and try to determine whether they
have made a dollar.
Many concerns used to be care
less about such inventories, and
they would run along year after
year without such stock taking.
content if they could draw out so
much cash each week. But such
ones often found after time that
their stock had deprecated, and in
reality they were eating up their
capital every year.
A correct inventory at least once
year would seem a necessity in
most lines of business. 1t shows up
the leaks, II indicates whether bus
mess figures have been based on
facts or mere hopes. Let us hope
that the stock takings OF 1884 will
show gains where the previous year
indicated losses, and that the more
figures will give our bus
mess people renewed courage for
he new year.

GETTING THE MONEY

The session of Congress now in
session will be asked to appropri-
ate about s6,0OO,OOO. 900, of which
$2,600.0O0.0OO is for the ordinary ex-
penses of the government, while the
rest is for the various projects
adopted to provote economic recov-
cry.
The above figure is not inordi-
nately large, considering all that has
been done to relieve distressed
classes, and put idle people to work.
But it is only the beginning of this
expenditure, for various projects
have been started which are expect
ed to cost $4,000, 900, 900 to $15,OOO,-
100000 before the job is put through.
The people must clearly understand
that these bills must be paid, and
that everybody who has any money
will have to help pay them.
A good many people say that the
rich people can pay them. But laws
have been enacted which permit per-
sons of wealth to put their money
into bonds and other securities
which are lawfully exempted from
taxation. Also the laws allow peo-
pie who have sustained losses on the |
value of securities which have been |
sold, to deduct such losses from in
come. so that they often have no in
come to tax.
Getting the money for a big pro-
gram of expenditure is not so sim
pie as it looks on the outside. It is
about like the railroad passenger
who asked the. conductor when the
train was late. why the engine did
not get up more power and pull the
rain along on time. "If you had to
get up that power with the thermO-
meter down close to zero, you
wouldn't think it so easy" was the
'eply.
Well. we must all do the best we
AN, and if the people who can help
ill do so without growing, we
hall shoulder the load and carry il
N right. and come out on top be-
ore we know 1t.

DRIVING OUT THE BOOTLEGGER

The congressional committee on
liquor tax legislation has heard tes-
timony from government experts
that the taxes on liquor must be
made low, in order to drive out the
bootleg trade. The government has
probably been banking too heavily
on an enormous revenue from liquor.
The American people dread the
power of the bootlegging system,
and they want to see it put down.
If high tax makes liquor costly in
the states where it is legally sold,
then the bootlegger becomes an eff
fective competitor. He pays no tax,
and If in addition to this saving he
dilutes or adulterates his stun,
many people would buy of him, in
spite OF the governments pleadings
to obey the law.
