YOUR ANIMAL NEIGHBORs

How much do you know about the
animals who are your neighbors. and
occupy homes in the next field or bit
of woodlands If 20 ulive in a city
of some size, you probably don't
known much about them. But if you
live in the country and want to know
more about these interesting crea-
lures, you might read the book en-
titled "Animal Neighbors of the
Countryside, by Joseph Lippincott.
What becomes of these creatures
in winter? How can they live with
their customary food supplies cut
off? Do they do more good or harm
to man? These and many other
questions about rabbits, foxes, squir-
rells. etc. are worth study. The I'M
observant person may rarely see
these creatures. but the nature lover
knows that strange wild things are
watching every move he makes,
planning how to live on his gardens,
but performing many amusing
tricks that reconcile one to their
presence.

BUSINESS AND FRIENDSHIP

Success in a business job depends
principally on efficiency in serving
your employer and the public. but
also to a certain extent OH friend
ship. People like to do business
with friends rather than with strang-
ers. The young man who holds
store or business job. has better
chances of promotion if he has the
gift of making many friends.
Some folks are absorbed in them
selves all the time, and show a lack
of interest in other people. They
can't expect to make many friends.
The friendly folks greet the world
with a cordial smile. and seem so
glad to see people that the world
likes to meet them and do business
with them.

FORTY PLUS

A group of unemployed executives
met recently in Boston. to form plans
to combat prejudice against the re-
employment of middle aged men.
Such movements are needed not
merely by former executives who are
out of work, but by a great host of
middle aged men and women who
have lost their jobs. and find that
many employers hate to take on
middle aged or elderly people.
There should be a nation wide
movement to persuade business that
it needs the experience and judg-
ment of middle aged and elderly peo-
pie. as well as the enthusiasm of
youth. Youthful activity and energy
is all right and fine, but it makes
many mistakes. If often needs the
training of greater age to correct
its errors.

SOME CONSCIENTIOUS FOLKS

A merchant at Altus, Oklahoma,
recently received a money order for
$2.75, paying a bill incurred at his
gentleman's store in Texas, 40 years
ago.
Now how many people are there
left who can remember anything
about the bills contracted 40 years
ago? A great many seem to have
difficulty in remembering the bills
they incurred for the month previ-
GUS, not to speak of those a year old.
One would like TO think that the great
majority of people are honest, but
the ease with which many forget
bills unless reminded of the same.
suggests that very many of them do
but little worrying over their debts.

THE ECONOMIC MYSTERY

What is the strangest and most
mysterious thing now existing in this
country? Is it some crime or scan
dial of which people cannot see the
bottom? More mysterious things
than these can be found Perhaps
the greatest mystery is the question
why there are in our country such
great and unmanageable SURPRISES
of the necessities of life. and at the
same time want among the families
of millions of people. The question
Why such unbounded plenty exists in
the midst of such unbounded want,
may be called the No. 1 mystery.
Advance. the magazine publish
ed by the Congregational and Chris
tian churches. has a cartoon which
pictures on one side men sitting
down discouraged on what is called
the greatest surplus of goods and
food in history" On the other side
are Americas needy millions, stand
ing before padlocked door, which
they can't enter to make use of this
great surplus.
Who or what is to blame for this
strange and mysterious condition of
things? According to one element,
business is to blame for not operat-
ing its industries in a way to give
the people work, and enable them to
make use of this surplus.
According to the other element, !
the government is to blame, for |
placing SO many restrictions and |
such high taxes on business, and run
ming so deeply into debt, that bust
ness lacks sufficient inducement to
operate at full speed and keep the
people employed. 3
American common sense should be
able to solve this mystery. 1t should
look back at many past years, when
business did operate well, and keep
most of the people employed. Prob
ably what the country needs most is
a spirit of compromise and conces-
sion, through which people Of differ
ent opinions can get together on
program that will set the idle mill
lions to work.

ON THE BRINK OF WARE

The ticliish state of the world
keeps reminding our people of the
situation in the very last OF July
1914, when Europe was about to
blow up in the terrible World war.
One week at that time turned the
planet upside down.
Today the nations seem even
more warlike. They have more men
under arms, more costly armies, they
threaten each other more violently.
Some little spark might turn the
whole powder magazine into a raging
hell.
About once month or oftener,
Europe has new crisis. The situa-
ton has seemed specially critical
for a few weeks, because Of the vast
army which the German dictator has
assembled not far from the C2echo-
slovakian border, and of the threats
which are constantly hurled at those
bold and determined Czechs.
The Germans claim that some g.
100000 of their race living in the
Sudetan mountains in Czechoslova-
kia are subject to oppression. Whe-
Their or not there is much basis for
that charge is not apparent here, but
in the United States descendants of
all races live together in peace. Our
people would say it would be the
height Of folly to start a war on
such an issue. These races should
get together nationally. and decide
such issues in a friendly way.
Our people would say. if those Su-
letan Germans want to belong to
Germany, why should they not be al
owed to? But why do they want to
Ittach themselves to a country where
conditions are as bad as they are in
Germany today?
The American people say the whole
uarrel would be silly. if it were not
o dangerous. America tried to
traighten out such disputes once,
nd got its fingers badly burned. 1t

.nce.

Your Fire Bin

You, the reader OF this article.
possess the key to r1re prevention.
You possess the power to help re-
duce the nations FIRE loss,o which
now totals about a quarter Of BILL
lion annually, to an insignificant
sum. And you can help save the ten
thousand persons who now die hor-
ribly each year from fire.
By the same token, it is you who
must pay the bill for our collective
national carelessness with FIRE and
its hazards. And II is you who suffer
when fire strikes.
Many of us mistakenly think that
fire prevention involves the pur-
chase Of expensive and complicated
equipment. plus an involved system
of inspections by high-priced ex-
perts. That is true only in minor
ity Of cases. A very large proper
ton Of all fires occur in homes and
on farms-and In these cases ade-
quate fire prevention usually re-
quires little expenditure of either
time or money. Improperly stored
inhammable liquids. uncared-for
heating plants, amateur electric work
accumulated debris Of various kinds
in attics. easements. closets and out
buildings-these are major sources
OF fire. And these grave hazards can
be done away with quickly and for
little or nothing.
Next time you read Of a fire. large
or small, think Of its cost as being
partially paid by you. You pay 1t IN
purchasing power. in
community retrogression. i'm lost
jobs, in higher insurance rates.
Think of the thousands Of such fires
that constitute Americas gigantic
and inexcusabIe total waste, Then

sTuDENTs PASS rHE rnnn

One of the pretty sights in man
, summer resorts. is that Of group
of young women students in attrac
tive uniforms who are serving a
Mattresses in summer hotels an,
camps. Many thousands Of Ties,
girls are passing out the roast bee
and the ice cream. and jumping t.
serve the slightest wish Of the va.
cationing public.
These jobs are popular among the
seekers after degrees. One large
company which manages such enter
prises is reported to have had 20
times as many applications this
year for such work as there were
places to be filed.
In former days most young wo-
men were satisfied to spend their
summer vacations with their famil-
les. They were happy II the resort
where they sojourned- had an avail
able quota of boys, and If there was
a fair number Of partners for the
dances and the tennis games.
1t is a useful sign that young wo-
men are now eager to work. and that
passing out the soup and the fish
looks attractive to so many of them,
perhaps more so even than sitting
on the sands with the boy friend
1t also tells the world that such |
manual tasks are just as honorable /
as any kind of work. Many young
women with education and social po-
sition thought in former days that
they lost prestige IL they served in
such jobs. These young women
mattresses Of today show that such
IDEAS are without foundation. and
that any useful work performed eff
GENTLY cOnfers honor on the one
who does it. The student walters
have more learning and
better manners than the people they
'erve. Their training tells them to
Orget all about that, and devote
themselves to their job. 1t is an at
itude that will win favor.

UNEMPLOYMENT AND SICKNESS
There are twice as many cases OF
illness among the unemployed as
among those who are working. ac-
cording to preliminary reports of a
recent survey reported by the United
States public health service. Many
persons appear to be made i'll by I'M
employment.
The unemployed man is under
some nervous strain, which may re-
duce his resistance to infection, and
affect the vitality of his body. He is
likely to worry about the future,
which lowers his physical stamina.
Also, the unemployed man may not
be able to get medical attention, and
he and his family may be trying to
get along on poor quality food.
The nations health should rise in
times of prosperity, and il probably
falls in time of depression. There |
are exceptions to this rule. Some
people use prosperity to spend freely
on pleasures that do them no good.
Tho man who uses the money of
flush time to spend for dissipation
may be better off in a period when
work is scarce. and he has to go
slow on his undesirable pursuits.
What can a family do when out of
work to maintain health under
these trying circumstances? Much
depends on the wife. If she knows
now to make the inexpensive cuts of
neat seem appetizing and easy to
ligest. if she is a student of markets
10 she can make the best use of her
United money, if she knows how to
,repare fruits and vegetables in a ,
way to save their nutrition, she can ,
% a long way toward neutralizing
he bad physical results of their try n
lg experience. If every unem- r
loyed man could have a garden to
it would save him some q
Expense, and help him keep off the O
ck list.
