MONEYS LITTLE ROYS

The United States mint has been
coming an enormous number Of
dimes and nickels. How come, that
so many of these small boys Of the
money family have been turned out
into the world? Mint reports show
that over SO,O0O,OOO nickels were
coined last year, compared with
about 27,OOO0OO in 1884. Also nearly
three times as many dimes were
coined last year as in the previous
12 months.
Government officials think a good
part of these nickels and dimes went
for slot machines and glasses of
beer. Considering popular habits,
that might well be. People value
those little fellows of the coin fam
lily more than they used to. In boom
times. the average person regarded
a dime. ABOUT as our parents used to
look at a penny. AS for nickel,
that was almost nothing, and a mere
penny was a coin beneath contempt.
The folks who scatter around the
lickels and dimes regardless will let
lutte sum of money slip through |
heir hands in a week. A dollar
broken up into change disappears
ike piece of pumpkin pie under
he appetite of hungry family. |
There are two ideas about small
,Oins. Robert Burton. famous Eng
ish philosopher, said there is such
thing as being penny wise and
,ound foolish" Some people might
efuse to spend a few dimes to have
defective lock repaired. and as a
esult a thief might break in and
teal all their money.
The other extreme says. Take
are of the pence and the pounds
,ill take care of themselves" The
yise man doesn't hang on to the lit
lie boys of money too long, but he
insists that he get real value when
g spends them.

Share What Wealth.?

Some surprising figures have just
been made public by the BrOOkings
institution showing the cash benefit
to each individual il the nations
wealth actually were distributed
equally.
In 1929, said a report by Harold
G. Moulton, president of the Insti-
tuition, total wealth in the United
States was 100000, 100000. BY 1895,
that had shrunk to 5000, O,O00, 900, 900.
Redistribution, he calculated, would
give each family in the land some
thing like $4,000. But he adds:
-Four hundred and sixty billion
dollars, however, is merely the val
ne placed on our farms. mines, rail-
ways, factories, etc. It includes not
only private property but also that
owned by the government. A physj-
cal redistribution of the nations
wealth would be impossible. We
cannot divide a railroad track or q
telephone line, coal mine or the
Empire State Building"
Since wealth itself cannot be
physically redistributed, he then
suggests a look at income. An equal
distribution of income, he calcu-
lated, would give each person "$67S
in the most prosperous year we
have ever known"
Apply DR.. Moulton's yardstiek to
one Of the biggest industries in the
nation-steel. Its properties-Wealth
include such things as plants and
mills. II all could be converted into
cash, and that cash equally distri-
buted, It would mean only $40 for
each person.
"These things are wealth." DR..
MouIton added, only because they
produce income" In palmer words,
the steel industry in its present |
form means year-round jobs for
nearly 100000 men; redistributed on
4 share-the-wealth basis, It would (
mean about rs cents a week to each
Individual.

HAPPINESS ANYWHERE

Millions of people are discontented
in their home towns. and say life is
dull in the place where they live.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, famous phil
OsOpher. said: Go where he will,
the wise man is at home" You can
iinG happiness anywhere, and If you
can't find it wherever your work or
family relations call you. the chances
are poor you will find it anywhere.
The books of the world can be had
anywhere. Newspapers and mag
azines will tell you everything that
is going on. The radio brings you
the worlds best music and endless
humor and dramatic interest. You
can unite with your neighbors to
play cards, dance. put on entertain
ments, enjoy friendship, study the
worlds wisdom, If you can't find
happiness in a good town like Mil
ford, where will you find it?

BLANKET QUANTITIES

Warmth and durability are the
two principal qualities to seek in a
blanket. Price, appearance and feel
are not sure guides 70 good value,
say home economists in the Depart
nent Of Agriculture. These experts
have Just completed exhaustive stu
dies of many kinds of blankets and
claim the different properties in
blankets can be compared il the
label carries definite information.
II the word wool appears on the la
bel It is a pretty good indication
that the blanket contains at least
five per cent wool. Such labelling is
not compulsory, but manufacturers
who use It have ngTeed to designate
blankets containing five to rs per
cent wool as part wool, not less
than FIVE per cent" and to label
those, containing more than 25 per
cent with a guaranteed wool content
given in percentage, Most blanket
labels also give the length and
width, breaking strength in the di-
rection of filling yarns. and infor-

AUTOMOBILE SPEEDS

Should any fixed limit he created
by law for the speed of automobiles
The Connecticut traffic commission
have just placed a maximum speed
limit of As miles an hour on state
trunk line highways. What will be
the result?
In the earlier days of automobile
driving, most of the states placed
quite low limits on permissible speed.
Twenty-Five miles an hour was a
common limit, with speeds of only
IL to Is miles an hour allowed in
thickly settled sections.
These fixed speed limits were not
taken seriously by the majority of
motorists. They were so generally
disregarded, that most states have
probably modified them by this time.
There is a part of motorists today
who wish to drive faster than As
miles an hour, and many of them
want to drive 60 miles or more. It
will take very vigorous and per-
sistent campaign to prevent these
higher speeds. and only the constant
penalizing of offenders will secure
the obedience of such rules.
A speed of 25 miles an hour dodg-
ing around corner in some thickly
settled city, is more dangerous than
so miles an hour in the open cOun-
try.
Such regulation as that estab-
lished in Connecticut has this ad-
vantage. that it makes it easier to
convict a reckless driver when his
actions seem a danger to the public. |
The most effective plan is prob
ably to revoke the licenses of a large |
number of motorists who fail to
show proper consideration for the
public.

LET'S QUIT KILLING

The automobile death rate can be
reduced. And the ruckless ana IN
eonsiderate drivers, who are resDon-
sible for some $4,000 deaths a year
in this country, can be curbed
A number Of cities have proven
this one OF them Is Portland. Ore
gon, which has been carrying on a
Lets Omit Killing' campaign that
has produced fine results in rela-
lively brief length of time. Where
the national automobile death toll
during the first ten months Of this
year, was at the highest point on
record, traffic fatalities IN Portland
declined about 25 per cent.
The Let's Quit Killing" program
can be carried on by any community.
The campaign In Portland has been
led by a newspaper, working with
safety authorities and the aut0mO-
bile association. Pamphlets, such as
the sensational And Sudden
Death have been widely distribute
ed. Cartoons and statistical material
have brought the horrors of automo-
bile accidents home to thousands Of
And the local judiciary has
po-operated by levying sizable fines
and prison sentences against viola
tors OF the traffic laws.

ROOFS AND TERRACES

Modern building construction pro-
yides methods for the use of roofs
on high buildings. Pent houses fur
nish comfort de luxe for those who
can afford them. Modest tea rooms
and restaurants are to be found
alongside the observation towers Of
sky-serapeTs in our principal Am
erican cities.
Il is reported that more than
hundred thousand persons dined and
danced atop the Hotel Montclair.
New York's largest open-aiB roof
restaurant and terrace cafe, during
the season that has just closed.
When the air begins to nip all
these scenes of gaiety in the new
smart center of the great metropo-
lis moves down TO the lower floors.
The proof that roofs meet popular
fancies is found in the fact that with
so many Of the nations leading hos
teleries still suffering from econo-
mic unrest, that there are eXcep-
tions, since the great Montclair has
enjoyed the most successful summer
season in several years.
The modern homes at the San
Diego fair aecentuate the many
practical uses of roots that were a
big feature in displays of these
types of buildings at Chicago last
year and the year before.
Roofs and terraces have proved
that they have been given a perma-
nent place in present-day architee-
ture.

poor TO DOOR FREIGHT

The western railroads have a plan
by which they will pick up freight
at the doors of their customers
places. and deliver it to the door at
destination. That ought to get back
a good deal Of business that has been
lost.
The railroads have had many
troubles, and the financial condition
of many of them is not good. When
people lose trade, the thing for them
to do is to get ont after business and
give service where the public ask for
it. If the railroad truck win call
at the door and deliver TO the door,
the service will look more desirable
to many Also If the railroads would
spend more money telling about such
features in the newspapers, it would
help them a lot.

There were $500 men among the

Should the men know how to sew
and make pies? The older genera
tion would have said Father had all
he could do to earn his pay envelope
But ability to cook at least is quite
an asset for Father. Many men have
become so skilful at it that they are
managers Of restaurants and lunch
rooms. Also Father ought to know
something about the care of children.
II he can't dress Junior without get
ting his trousers on hind side before,
he is more bother around the house

close early now. When the wife at

WEARING our SHOE LEATHER

All records for production of shoes
were broken last year. when the fac
tories turned out $4,000, 900 pairs.
This is nearly three pairs of shoes
per person. John Citizen and his
family have not become SO poor they
have gone barefoot. And they are
not so exclusively occupied with
stepping on the gas, that they don't
wear out many shoes.
II the average man wears out three
pairs of shoes a year, he would bet
ter consider buying some better quail
ity. But the lady. bless her. she
does like a stylish new pair. Those
parky little things with fancy straps

PROBLEM NOT INSOLUBLE

When some folks hear that ll,OOO,-
900 people are still out of work in
this country, they get discouraged.
Perhaps they could learn something
about meeting such a problem, if
they would note how some other
countries are doing it. Take Sweden
for instance. There is Il little cOun-
try of some 6,O0O,O00 people. They
only have 10000 out of work, about
twO-thirds of one per cent of the
population. In the United States,
the unemployment number at least
eight per cent of the population.
Why can't we find work for our
people as such a country has done?
Some will say the reason is that
half the Swedish people live on
farms. and are not so dependent on
employment in factories and stores.
However, the percentage of their
people who work in industrial estab-
lishments is nearly as large as ours.
30 the difference is probably not
there.
Perhaps the principal reason for
this great difference is that Sweden
kept out of the World War II suf
fered severely from loss of trade
during the war. But it refused to
become embrOiled in that terrible
whirlpool. As the result, its finances
and its industrial habits were not so
much upset. By 1928 it became able
TO balance its. government budget, !
and reduce its national debt.
In addition. the Swedish are
thrifty, Industrious. and well edu-
Gated people, whose standards of
school and university instruction are
high. There probably is no larger
element there who are always look
ing for something for nothing, or
who expect to subsist on charity
without doing real work The pros
perity of such country shows that
if the United States wishes to pro-
duce well being, it must keep out of
war. pay its bills. reduce its debt,
and teach industry and thrift to its
people.

The Piper wiz Be Paid

Who's going TO pay most Of the
federal debt which stands today at
thirty billion dollars and may pass
thirty-four billion by the end of
June?'The man who makes less than
$4,000 a year. He's got to; he's the
only one who has the money.
Recently, the United States News.
a non-partisan weekly newspaper
published in Washington, empha-
sized these facts:
In 1884, individuals with incomes
under $4,000 a year made $7,5O0.-
OOO, 900 those with incomes between
$4,000 and $4,000 made $S,500,00O,-
900; those with incomes over $685.
600 made $500, 100000.
In that same year, Uncle Sam
took in direct income taxes nearly
a third of the money made by those
in the S25,000 group, one-thirtietn
of what the $5,00O-S25,000 group
made, and one-two-hundred-and-
thirtieth of the income of those in
the less than $1,000 classification.
The late Henry T. Rainey, once
Speaker of the National House of
Representatives, expressed this as
the ideal tax philosophy; "ro get
the most feathers with the least
squawking of the goose" In recent
years, legislators have been spend
ing freely and boosting taxes only
on big incomes, because there are
fewer big incomes and therefore
less squawking. But here's some
thing to think about:
A federal debt of S34,000.000,0o0 /
means a debt Of S272 for each man. J
woman and child in the United
States. Some day taxes will have to
be assessed to pay that debt. Taxes
are levied only against things that
returns. When the time of
comes, where are the leg
islators going to turn? To the group
hat made 100000? Or to The
group that made five times that
much, namely the less-than-$5 ,OOO-
l-year-man?

THIN CHILDREN

The United States Public Health
Service figures that the average child
between six and ten years is about
two per cent below normal weight
This is supposed to be due to lack
OF nourishing food in many families.
AS this would not probably be more
than a pound or two per child, it is
not as serious as it might be.
Most families could make up that
deficiency, without spending another
nickel, by careful study of the selec-
tion and preparation of food. The
skilful lady with the market basket.
and the clever artist of the roasting
oven, will get more bone and muscle
for the kid out of a cheap dinner.
than the wasteful family will ont of
the costly one.
