YOUTH LOOKS AHEAD

The Advertising Club of a GER
tain city decided to offer a course
of lectures in the Choice Of a Vo-
cation. 1t was planned to have a
leading doctor speak On medicine,
an eminent lawyer On the law, a
railroad man On transportation, and
so forth.
With the idea of finding out
which subjects would be of most
interest to the young men and wo-
men of the city, a QUESTIONABLE
was mailed to current graduates of
the city's high schools, asking
them to indicate a first and second
choice of life work. Now, gentle
reader, how do YOU think this bal
lot came out?
One occupation over-shadowed
all others. Not medicine, law,
chemistry, or advertising-none Of
these. By an overwhelming ma
jority, those boys and girls, looking
over the whole field and seeing
what goes on, announced as their
first choice of a life work govern
ment service.
I do not blame them for this
vote; there are many opportunitie:
for good work in the government
employ. None the less, this is a
straw which shows a great change
in our national psychology. In the
old days no boy chose a govern
ment, job, at least until he hae
tried something else first. He want
ed to jump into the competitive
game of business; win or lose, he
would measure his wits and streng,
tn against his fellows. One day he
might hope to have a business Of
his own.
England, a much older nation
long ago reached the stage where {
large majority of its people starr
their lives thinking of their ole
age. All they ask for is security
and a pension at the end. Is thi
something that happens inevitably
as nations grow old? Is the United
States growing old?

Shoes are a weakness with Helen
Hayes, as well they may be. Any
possessor of a size three and one
half foot would want to show it to
its best advantage. Few headliners
own a more impressive array Of
shoes than this popular stage and
screen star. For evening wear she
has assembled quantities of sandals
with high and low covered heels in
materials and colors to match or
contrast with her various gowns.

Under existing conditions people
could no longer Be fairly sure Of OBJ
tanning tracts Of good land. The cheap
land which they were able 10 get was
in many cases too poor TO support
them Often these families, which had
sought an opportunity 10 take care
of themselves, In the end became bur
dens upon the relief rolls Of small
rural communities.
Wise fOrethOught and action by
the government can prevent this
wastage Of human effort by lending a
guiding hand to the settlement Of new
land unless some such guidance is
offered, we run the danger Of having
. large increase in the number Of poor
families, living on land that cannot be
successfully cultivated, and becoming
burdens upon the rest Of the eommun-
ity.
Today we posses far more ade-
quate knowledge Of what land is
good for than did poole Of a genera
ton ago. Scientists have made new
discoveries about soil classification.
Experience with most of the types of
land IN the United States has reduced
the need for guesswork-
In the present program Of land use
and resettlement, the Resettlement
Administration, an agency Of the Fed
eral Government, is helping families
move from poor land to better farms
where they may become self-support-
ing. Unproductive farmland is being
converted to other uses, such as for
estry, grazing or recreation, for which
it Is suited.
As our need for increased agricult-
ural land expands in the future, It
viii be more and more necessary for
the governments Of both Safes ana
Nation to determine where good land
is available, and to help prevent
settlement in areas where fam
lilies win become public charges be-
cause Of the poverty Of the land.

PROFITS

Combined net profits of 285 in

half year were 1854, ,0O0,O 900 against
$341, 100000 during the first half
of 1885, according to the National
City Banks monthly review.
"Trade and industrial activity
continued to make highly fav-
Orable showing during July not
withstanding the drought which
has taken a heavy toll of the ma
tiOn'S crops" the report says.
"AithOugh the month is normal
Iy one of considerable seasonal
slack in industry, manufacturing
operations have been prolonged
well beyond the usual time Of
summer decline"
The increase in profits is rated
at 6X6 per cent. However, during
the second quarter, 230 companies
reported net profits of approx,
mately $311 100000 against $685..
100000 in the preceding quarter
and $179,000,000 in the second
quarter of last year, a gain over
last year, of 1873 per cent.
Wholesale buying for the fall
season is described as gratifying. y
The letter contends that the
lifting of reserve requirements and
the resulting elimination Of part
of the excess reserves is not the
