How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
Jubilee,

TODAY jubilee Is more or less
= synonymous with good time, which
may be quiet or unpent. Sometimes
the event Is an uproarious affair of
short duration; at others, 1t may be
stated period commemorating par
ticular happening.
The word jubilee, with all that It
stands for. Is traced TO the Hebrew
yobel, meaning rams horn. Among
the ancient Hebrews the rams horn
was used as trumpet. This was
sounded far and wide the country
over to proclaim the jubilee year.
This original jubilee was . year
Of surcease. 1t came round every
so years and its observance was reg
ulated by the code laid down in
Leviticu. ky.
Then as now, the jubilee period
was one Of rejoicing. Slaves were
freed. Fields were left untitled.
Lands. houses and chattels that had
been confscated or forecloSed were
restored to former owners. Every
body disported in pleasure and gave
the other fellow another chance.
II is this sense of release and
emancipation which is still retaind
in the present significance of jubilee
as a season or occasion OF joyful
celebration.

Peter looked a little puzzled. He

the other ear with the toes OF the
other long hind foot. May I ask"
said he. presently, why you are so
happy?"
Because that wasn't Mr. Black
snake that gave me such a scare"
replied Old Mr.. Toad. IF that isn't
reason enough for rejoicing I don't
know what would be-
"Poohl" exclaimed Peter, "Is that
the way you feel every time you have
an escape?'
Yes" replied Old Mr.. Toad
Well said Peter. If did that I
would be rejoicing all the time"
Would that be such a bad idea?"
asked Old Mr.. Toad Il sometimes
think that the troubles in life are
worth while for the rejoicing that fol-

he groan hollowly when it is trumped.
In other words, since he is there only

job is to efface himself completely.
The greatest compliment that can be

pie Old Mr. Toad has any real reason
TO fear, but some of those Snakes do
like a Toad dinner when they can
get it. and so Old Mr.. Toad is a badly
scared person whenever he suspects
q Snake is about.
Il don't blame you for laughing,
said he to Peter Rabbit. and l don't
mind at all I can laugh myself now.
OF course. you are not afraid of Mr..
Blacksnake, but with me it is diff
ferent matter. I can think of lots of
places that I would rather go than
down q Snakes throat"
Peter nodded grsvelv. No said
he. I'm not afraid Of Mr.. Blackslake
for myself, but am afraid of him for
my babies. You know he Is just as
fond of little Rabbits as he is Of
Toads. So | don't like Mr.. Black
snake, and i never did"
Old Mr. Toad drew a long breath.
Then his throat began to swell out.
1t swelled and swelled until it was
like a big glistening white bubble.
Peter stared very hard. He opened
his mouth to ask Old Mr. Toad what
he was doing. but before he could
speak he heard q familiar sound. 1t
was a little song that he often had
heard down at the Smiling Pool. He
recognized it at once. 1t was Old Mr..
Toad's own song. You may hear it
every Spring If you go down to the
Smiling Pool to listen.
What are you singing for?" asked
Peter after a moment or two. Il
didn't know that you ever sang after
you left the Smiling Pool

low wage doctrine preached In this
country as it was and still is
preached in Europe.
The very moment a recovery pro-
gram was formulated in Washing
ton, the high wage principle was
made a basic feature and was def
nitely embodied in the NRA.
However, the wage increases un-.
der the NRA were tied up with ins
creases in prices made possible by
that measure. And the time has
now arrived when further price in
creases in many industries seem TO
be impracticable or undesirable.
We have, therefore, come to a
new phase of the recovery move

of profits now depends either upon
a decrease in the cost or an increase
in the volume of production or on
both.
America has been through such
periods before without abandoning
the high wage principle. But some

of labor is necessary and that for
this purpose wages must either be
lowered or further increases pre-
vented. Unfortunately, one busi-
ness leader has made public state
ment to this effect.
The abandonment of the high
wage principle in this country at
the present moment would not only
check the tendency toward recovery,
but might lead us into new COL
lapse. 1t would mean the reversal
of the principle that has dominated
our economic structure for decades.
We can not shut our eyes to the
danger-especially alarming at the

culiar temptation to bring about an
early improvement in profits regard
less of later consequences.
