Mr.. Goodrich, like Owen D.

ers who addressed the three-day
session at Rochester, hammered
home the principle that universal
prosperity and human happiness
is only to be achieved by the
greater production and wider dis
tribution of real wealth. Those
who teach that there is only a
limited amount of wealth avail
able for the needs of an increas-
ing population are doing a dis
service to all the people.

of America depends upon the in
telligent exploration of the new

and technical training are con-
stantly opening. The greatest raw

FRONTIERS
One of the common fallacles
which has been widely preached
by folk in high places who ougnt
to know better is that there are
no opportunities left in America
for Young men. The last frontier
has vanished, say these prophets
of defeatism.
Nothing could be farther from
the truth. There are greater OPP
portunities for young Americans
to build fortunes out Of the coun-
trv's natural resources than ever
existed in the. pioneer days, Lang
bourne M. williams, Jr., presl-
dent of the Freeport Sulphur
Company, told a representative
group of college students at the
clinic on New Frontiers In
American Life" just held at the
University of Rochester.
"Opening up the new frontiers
to get at the wealth behind them
merely calls for a different tech
nique than that of the gold hunt
ers of 49," Mr.. Williams said.
"The schools and colleges are
training youth to find wealth
where their grandfathers never

Critics of the profit system are
undermining the principles upon
which America has become the
wealthiest as we'll as the freest
nation in all history.
WEALTH everywhere
Billions of dollars Of new
wealth have been created, literal
1y, by human minds applied to
technical research. Sea water is
being coined into gold-for the
bromine used in anti-knock gaso-
line is extracted from the sea. AL
so out of the sea is obtained the
lightest of all metals, magnesium,
used in airplane construction. The
raw material of this new wealth
is the trained intelligence of the
men who create it.
Application of brain power
takes nitrogen for fertilizers, dyes
and explosives, out of the air.
New fibers and fabrics are found
in air and water and coal. Ores
which used to be considered
worthless now yield riches by the
application of human ingenuity.
One of the richest gold fields in
the world lay untouched until
someone thought of sending min
ing machinery into the mountain
tops by airplane and bringing out
gold by the same means.
"There are new frontiers prac-
tically in everybody's Backyard"
said Mr.. Williams. 'They are in
the things that we have wasted
for hundreds of years because we
thought they were worthless.
Those who benefit by their de-
velopment are not only the tech
nical men but the thousands of
workers for whom new jobs are
created"

Another of the speakers at the
clinic on New Frontiers was Da-
vid M. Goodrich, chairman of the

Goodrich pointed out that in the
field of rubber one of the broad

being opened up to development.

consumer of rubber. this country

Sheraton

Thomas Sheraton has been called
the master Of cabinetmaking and
inlay. He used very little carving
and what he did was very dainty
and strictly conventional. He fol-
lowed straight classic lines, his best
work being severe and simple. On
some of his furniture he did not use
a single moulding but depended en-
tirely upon inlay for ornamentation.
He was the first designer to use
satinwood to any extent and was
famous for his veneered work.
The majority of his chair backs
were rectangular in form with
slightly curved and broken top rails.
He used q variety of straight legs,
square, turned, tapered and fluted,
but never the cabriole leg. He IA
vored all-over stuffed seats except
where cane was used, and seldom
used understanding. Convex cor
ners were almost exclusively used
on sideboards and side tables. He
was the first to design a kidney
shaped table.
Sheraton was not a manufacturer,
as was Chippendale, but sold his de-
signs to whom he could. He was the
last of the 18th century designers
to leave style bearing his name,
and is considered by many to have
been the greatest of them all. Ma
hogany was the principal wood he
used.

Ability to Get Along With People

dren that will carry them farther
than anything they can learn in any
college.
They can teach them, for instance
how to sell themselves to the world
This is a branch of information vir-
tually irgnored in institutions ot
higher learning, yet on mans and
woman's ability to get along with
other people depends not only their
happiness but. also their success in
life. It is a mans best asset In bust
ness. It is a woman's trump card In
society. It insures domestic bliss in
matrimony.
The earth and the fullness thereof
belong to the suave, the courteous
the adroit who know how to say the
right thing at the right time and in
the right place; who can be firm
without being offensive; who can
differ with us without insulting us,
and smooth us down instead of rub
bing our fur the wrong way.
Parents can teach their children
how to make money, how to spend II
and how to save it. And on this
knowledge depends their prosperity
and happiness In life.
They can teach them how to be
good husbands and wives and neigh
bors and citizens. In q word, they
can teach them the fine art Of nv-
ing, and that is the most important
thing that any of US can learn.

Others use jackets with bracelet

have very short trains and are de-

OF course, the bride Of 1910 wants

The great American fetish is COL
lege education. The majority of the
population devoutly believe in the
superstition that college diploma
is conjure bag that brings its pos
SCISSOR fame and fortune and success
In every undertaking, and that wards
off poverty, sickness, hard work, old
age, falling hair and halitosis. With
this artless belief firmly fixed in
their minds, millions of fathers and
mothers slave themselves to death
to try to secure this priceless bless
ing for their offspring. Even before
the baby is born they start
scrimping and saving and doing
without all the little comforts
and luxuries that would make
their own lives pleasanter in order
to send Junior off to college. That
is their idea of fulfilling parental re-
sponsibility. If they can put lot
of dumb girls and boys, who have no
intellectual yearnings whatever,
through college, they feel that they
have done their full duty to their
children and are ready to fold their
tired hands and depart in peace.
Apparently 1t never occurs to these
poor parents, who are graduates of
the University Of Hard Knocks in
stead of fashionable schools, that
all education is not put up between
the covers of school books and that
they have things to teach their chill

Proper Dress
For Evening
Concert
Wear Clothes to
Honor Singer,
Not Room
BY EMILY POST.

The town, the artist and the seats
are the three factors to be consid-
cred when answering the question,
What shall we wear to q concerto"
The following letter adds another
angle: "Our school is having a
nationally known singer here to
give a concert, which Is to be open
to the townspeople as well as to the
students. The gymnasium is to be
used because 1t will hold the largest
number Of people. VIII you please
tell us what we should wear at this
concert-evening clothes or day
clothes? The fact that the con-
cert is in gymnasium makes some
of us feel that evening dress may
be out of place"
In answer to this, the gymnasium
background has no Importance. The
audience should wear evening
clothes In honor Of the singer, not
in honor of the room! It is prob
able that the most important school
dances are given in the gymnasium
at least they are, usually-and on
these occasions no one would think
of wearing gym" clothes, or even
sports clothes! If the seats are
reserved, those in the best seats
down front" would be expected
to wear best clothes, in order to help
make the occasion a smart one.
Those in less conspicuous back rows
could be free to wear plainest day
clothes.

Dear Mrs. Post: What is the
proper time during the meal to
serve artichokes? I have noticed
that there are special plates for
serving them and this leads me to
believe they should be served as
a separate course.
Answer: They are served either
before or after the meat course
sometimes in place of the fish, some
times in place of the salad, some
times between meat and salad
exactly as asparagus with hollan-
daise sauce is served as a separate
course.

and water with mild scrubbing
powder when necessary is the best
formula.
Saturday-Clean wood floors. All
advice to the contrary, there are
times when every floor needs soap
and water. Use a mild oil soap and
water and dry Immediately. Follow
with wax and good polishing right
away. You may get by with
hand polishing most Of the time,
but about twice q year rent an elec-
trio polisher and give the floors q
real going over.
Second Week
Planned.
Second Monday-Work on wall
paper. Keep one clean, dry mop
for your wallpaper and use 1t only
when it is clean. There is q special
eraser for spots, and for grease you
may use French chalk, which is left
on overnight. Soap and water is
good for washable wallpapers, but
be sure it is not hot.
Second Observation-Disclosures to be
done. Use paint cleaner or oil soap.
Do not scrub too hard as it will de-
stroy the surface of the paint.
Second Wednesday-Clean furni-
ture wood. Wash with warm soap
suds, small section at time. Dry
Immediately, oil or wax and polish.
Second Thursday-Care for fur
niture upholstery. Dust or brush it
every day, but hand-vacuum it to-
day. Use q non-inflammable dry
cleaner for spots. Shampoo the
washable ones with heavy soap suds
and very little water, wipe with
sponge wrung almost dry. Be very
sure that the upholstery is wash
able before you start. Saddle soap
is best for leather and coated fabrics
of all kinds.
Second Friday and Saturday: You
may do the Venetian blinds, wash
the small rugs, kitchen curtains or
lamp shades, and for the next two
weeks of the month bask in all your
reflected cleanliness and contem-
plate the subject of What q good
housekeeper I am"
