In the old days everyone used to wash his own

many people Simpler to call up the window
washers and have them come around.
Very few grown women wash their own hair
nowadays. The old curling iron is almost thing

Nobody seems to polish their own shoes any

There was a time when it was almost a ritual

Seek to AUOid Trouble
TUNE was when the housewife used to make
the slip covers for the furniture herself.
Now it is an easy matter to avoid all that
trouble, buy them readymade slip them on
and disregard the wrinkles where the covers
do not fit.
It is true that by having so many things done
nowadays that we used to do ourselves has given
employment to a great many people
But the fact still remains that we do not
consider these items from that angle. but rather
from the view of saving our individual selves
time and labor. and principally labor-or the
trouble Of troubling ourselves to do the jobs.
About the only job we don't detail to some
one else is idling. That is an accomplishment
at which we are becoming more and more pro
ficient.

What of the old art Of preserving fruits?
Nowadays, no one wants to 60 to the bother Of
standing over a fire and preserving fruit or

buy them in cans.
In the old days, when we first owned auto
mobiles, we used to do the tinkering around the
cars ourselves. On Sunday morning the head
of the house usually hauled out the hose and
the chamois and did his own cleaning What's

doing that very job. Proud he was to drive the

Respects COl0red Race
THERE is no one that has q higher respect for
the colored race than have. AS q rule,
they are dignified, quiet people who try to do
their best When you read Of the antics Of this
socalled preacher, how he is working on the SYM
pathies and the mob hysteria Of these poor
people, black and white, it makes one thoroughly
disguised.
Booker T. Washington was an outstanding
example Of real learning, great dignity and he
did untold good in this world. He was a truly
great gentleman. Just compare him with that
fat little rolypoly God" who is floating around
New York. and you can see the difference.
One man was a great teacher, and put his own
people before everything else, while this other
socalled evangelist doesn't give rap for his own
people. All he wants is glory for himself and
plenty of publicity.

world, and it is funny thing but in the long
run they only really hurt the people who have
them.

Dollar Still Supreme
TVHE American dollar is standing out Gibraltar

lifting of some European Clouds the prospect is
that America and American securities will con-

What Americans are most interested in, how
ever is the prospect for continuation Of economic

lists. Steel leaders vehemently avowed that it
would avail nothing to reduce prices, that demand
would not be stimulated one iota
But what has actually happened?
Very shortly after prices were substantially
slashed. orders began to pour in. Production,
which had declined to little better than 1s per
cent of capacity, has already moved up to 81
per cent.

Autos Prices Cut, Too

1T MAY OR may not be significant that since
steel prices were lowered, one motor manufac-
turer has announced modest reduction in prices
While leading motor!makers have kept silent on
the subject, it may be that their saving in steel
costs will enable them to make their prices more
attractive to consumers when they bring out
their new models History has demonstrated
oftener than once that automobile buying is
potently affected by price fluctuations especially
that markups have discouraged consumptive
demand.
The steel industry's action at least will make
it easier for motor manufacturers to incorporate
improvements in their product without raising
existing price levels.
1t is profoundly to be hoped that prices all
along the line will be kept as low as possible-and
yet yield, of course reasonable rate Of profit;
otherwise genuine prosperity could not material
ize and be maintained.
