Woman's Superiority

To admit it or not to admit it.,
that is the question. No man will
admit that woman is or can be SUI
perior to man.
Women are entering industry
and it is found that they own fifty
percent of the stock today. Of
course, some men take it out in
the wife's name to protect it.
An example of the efficiency of
women is the fact that Frances
Perkins is Secretary of Labor in
Franklin Roosevelt's cabinet. Law
is another occupation in which
women can excel.
Of course, on some occasions
men are superior to women, es-
pecially in strength. Men often
make better automobile drivers
than women and are more suited
to manual labor.
Men could be better sports in
considering the ability Of women
than they are.
This is just a theme and doesn't
necessarily mean that approve of
everything it contains.

Limestone Caves

Many persons visit the natural
caverns that are found in the
eastern mountain ranges of our
country but have never found out
how these caves were formed.
The caves are found in limestone
deposits and are formed from the
dissolving of limestone by water
seeping down into the earth from
it's surface. The water from the
surface is charged with carbon
dioxide which collects in the soil
from the decay of organic mater
ials. The charged water seeps
lower and lower into the earth un-
til it reaches an insoluble stratum
of rock. The water runs along or
collects on the surface of this rock,
dissolving the limestone above it
and after centuries of such action
a large cavern is formed.
The soil water that drips from
the ceiling of the caves loses some
of its carbon dioxide when it comes
in contact with air and forms a
calcium carbonate substance which
hangs from the ceiling of the cav
ern in the shape of icicles which
are known as stalactites. The re-
maincer of the charged water los
es part of its carbon dioxide when
falling from the ceiling of the cave.
A calcium carbonate solution is
then formed upon the floor in the
shape of mounds which are known
as stalagmites.
Now we can understand the COM
position of our caverns of beauty
which weren't always found in the
mountains since the beginning of
time, but have been developed by
the strange workings of Mother
Nature.

Changes in the Value of Money

SEduScS III Tie tdlue OF money
The value of money changes
from one time to another accord
ing to the increase and decrease in
prices. When they are low, money
will buy many necessities of life
and therefore, has much value.
However, when prices are very
high, money does not have as much
value because it will not buy as
many things. Because of this
change. a person is able 70 save a
larger sum one year than another.
Changes in prices are important
for two reasons. First, prices of
all services and commodities do not
change equally. One product may
become more expensive while still
another may become cheaper.
Therefore, this unbalance causes
the value of money to increase in
some cases and decrease in others.
Second, price changes affect the
repayment of debts. Because of
this, the debtor repays a different
amount than he borrowed; for in
stance, if the value of money was
high at the time of borrowing and
low at the time of repaying, the
borrower would not be giving back
to the lender the same amount of
value as the money that he OBJ
tanned. In the reverse example
the debtor would be returning a
larger amount of value than that
of the money he borrowed. These
examples show that changes in
price and value of money are i'm
portant.
