THE AMERICAN PLAN
by j. e. Jones

Washington, d. c., February. %,
When there is unusual unemploy-
ment in the country 1t becomes
serious condition that concerns
everybody. 1t puts the buying ana
selling basis or the American pan
% tests like those of today. These
are not only economic problems put
also human problems OF major i'm
portance. That's why Government
leaders and large and small business
men have been gathering in Wash
.ngton The people OF our Nation in
every walk of lite are involved in the
existing recession.
The American plan has resulted
N giving the people OF the United
states more than any other country.
IN the United States there are IT'S
radios per thousand persons; in Ger
many 1903; in Italy IL. Other coun-
,ries are years behind us in what
we call archaeological progress. They
can't make as good machines as we
use; they are far behind us in in
yentions and in scientific achieve
ments. They look upon us as rich
prosperous, luxury-loving people.
Maybe they are right to certain
extent. AT least we have more tele-
phones, electrical appliances and
automobiles than any other people.
IN the United States there IS an auto
| mobile for every ~ persons; in
england one for every 20; Germany
me for 40; Russia one for 479.
1t looks like a good omen that the
irst piece of major legislation to be
completed at this session of Con
gress will make it possible for mil
lions of people who never hoped tt
nave homes of their own, to gel
hem under the extension of The
american system. This new Act en-
ables the Government to loan 80 pei
cent of the cost of building home
American industry has produced
standard of living never attained
before by any people in history

| creased and prices lowered we have
The outstanding statistical informa
lion that from 1925 to 1887 automo'
tive hourly wages went up Is pei
cent, and in the same period of time
automotive prices came down As pc,
cent. 1t was the automobile industry
hat led the procession, by tine Amer
lcan plan, out of the last depression
At this moment that industry is be-
ing regarded as the great hope OF
/ The Government and of the business
world to turn the tide upward and
TO again prove that though the
American plan hesitates it does not
TAIL. Thus industry strides on to
higher achievements.

Why Red Lights Appear Dim

Why do red lights seem less
bright when traffic is noisy than
they do when it is quiet? The an
swer to this question has been found
by Prof. S. v. Kravkov, head of the
Central Institute of Ophthalmology,
Moscow. He has proved conclusive
ly that sound affects the eyes sensi-
tivity to colors, the effects vary
ing in character for different colors.
He has shown that on receiving
auditory stimulation a normal eye
becomes more sensitive to green
and blue and less sensitive to red.

With diversionists in the saddle, the

Anyone of US would be proud to
have an obituary that rings with as
much truth and sincerity as that
written for Canadian sheep dog.
A gentleman has just passed on.
He was kind and courteous, respect
full to his superiors and indulgent to
his interiors.
He had courage without bluste1
and pride without vaunting.
He was loyal friend and a de-
voted companion.
He never picked quarrel nor fled
from a fight.
He loved children and delighted in
their enjoyment.
He was generous and never crit
itical.
He was full of the joy of living.
His name was "Hurly" and he was
a sheep dog, eleven years old.
He lived happily, died serenely and

JAY C. HICKS SMALL ANIMAL CLINIC

In these days of the automobile
there are many people who imagine
the services of the Veterinarian are
not so much in demand, but such
seems far from the truth, for in this
modern day great deal of attention
is given to the care of dumb animals
such as dogs, cats, etc. which was not
true in the old days. Today nothing
is too rsSlch to do for a loved pet and
it is surprising the advances that
have been made in the study of vet
erinary medicine during the past ten
years, which in large measure is the
result of this new condition that has
arisen.
It is therefore interesting to note
the career and activities Of

PITY THE PREACHER

The preacher has great time. II
his hair is gray, he Is too old. If he
is young man. he has not had ex-
perience enough. If he has ten chill
dren, he has too many; if he has none,
he is setting a bad example. If his
wife sings in the choir, she is presum-
ing; if she does not, sne isn't inter-
ested in her husbands work. II the
preacher reads from notes, he's a
bore; is he speaks extemporaneously
he isn't deep enough. If he stays at
home in his study, he doesn't mix
enough with people; if he is seen
around the streets ne ought to be at
home getting up good sermon. If he
calls on the poor, he is playing to the
grandstand; if he calls at the homes
of the wealthy, he is an aristocrat.
Whatever he does, some one could
have told him how to do better.
