might happen. II
is possible, and
f. - fortunately prob
.u,.. able, that what has
happened before
will happen again, that business and
industry will gradually find their way
back to normal, and, with officially
shortened hours making labor scarce,
the slogan may change from LET the
government support me- TO 'Give me
a chance to work and climb 10 the
top"
That may come. and something very
different may come.
Once in so often it is necessary for
nations and individuals to learn wis
dom through first-class failure That
may be on the program for this coun-
try at this moment. The wise man
will make his arrangements.
Time passes quickly; age comes soon
If you depend for success on muscles,
legs, arms or eyes. Fifteen years ago
Babe Ruth, "home run king" was
bought by "the Yankees" for $4,000,
highest price ever paid up TO that
time for a baseball player. Now, only
forty-one years old. he is released and
goes to the Boston Braves" who are
not asked to pay even a penny for the
man that has drawn millions of men
and dollars to the club that "owned"
him.
AS we go around the sun, with the
moon circling round our little earth,
and our sun doubtless revolving around
some other great central star unknown
to us, the moon is always pulling ar
the earth, as a child pulls at its moth
er's skirt. That pull gradually causes
the earth to 'slow down" in speed,
turning on its axis.
Doctor Nicholson, astronomer at Will
son observatory, says this constant pun
of the moon will eventually make the
earth turn so slowly that its day viii
be Al days long instead of "a hours.
"Out of the mouths of babes aud
sucklings."
Jack Dempsey, who really seemed
to like fighting, apart from the profit,
in his championship days, discussing
other fighters in his "sere and yellow
leaf" at forty. says men that refuse
to do "road work" should know that
'you can't tougher your legs in chair
or posing for pictures"
Legs are not important, but brains
are. Young gentlemen should know
that you cannot tougher your brains,
or make them work better, without
thinking.
Chancellor Hitler orders every man
in Germany, young or old, to take
physical training and be ready to fight.
The Spartans trained men early. even
taught the young to murder working
slaves for practice. They did not last
long.
In New York a boy Of fifteen, his
father ION relief" leaves home and 8
message saying: II am going to get
a job of my own and help myself"
That expresses the feeling of mil
lions of Americans compelled TO be on
the dole or relief against their will. II
is to be hoped that depression. relief
and dole will end before too many
Americans lose the habit of work and
the desire for it.
Mr.. James J. Walker, once mayor OF
New York, writing a column for the
London Sunday Dispatch, supplies one
paragraph that he probably meant.
Others might remember it:
AFTER all, the counting of time Is
not so important as making time
count"
Senator Carter Glass, who takes
money seriously, says, I'VE are on a
fiat money basis" Possibly, but we
seem to be doing better than when we
were on a gold basis.
Do you notice much difference? Is
money more plentiful. are prices lowerf
Is not money scarce, is not everything
dearer, on the contrary?
Who knows anything about money!
Nobody.
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma, for
instance, says the United States Is still
ION the gold basis" Former President
Hoover wants to 60 back to the gold
basis, even If we have to be content
with 59-cent dollar, based on the new
kind of Expensive gold"
Wiley Post failed in his effort to fly
the continent in eight hours because OF
a mechanical accident. His plan was
to travel 10000 feet up in the strato-
sphere, where slight atmospheric resist
ance makes high speed possible. He
will try 1t again. American flyers for
tunately are not easily discouraged. II
they were, the flying machine would
not have been invented here.
