Marrying For a Meal Ticket

A joker has one about how the
colored gentleman asked friend
if he was going to marry. The
reply was that he might have to if
the cost of living kept going up.
That colored gent is not the
only one who gets married for a
meal ticket. 1t always used to be
considered that the husband would
support the family. That was cas-
Ter when periods of unemployment
were rather brief, and when living
costs were low and a good part of
the food for the family could be
grown in the garden.
To-day the problem of supporting
family has become more difficult.
Many men find they can't do it, no
matter how hard they try. Marry
ing a girl because she is getting
good pay is a very doubtful propo-
sitions II she provides the family
income or the bulk of it, she may
feel she has the right to say what
the family shall do. The prospect
i've husband would feel happier if
he could so develop his earning
power that it would take care Of
the bills.

Relics Of The Indian

y Many people in the course of
their summer travels have visited
historical museums and have seen
collections of Indian relics. A col
lector of these strange articles
says that he can find them in al
most any locality. He walks along
a field where the ground has been
ploughed, and his trained eye finds
an Indian arrow or spear head or a
domestic tool, where the careless
observer would see only a dirty
stone.
Those relics. give a picture of a
race that lived without any con-
ception of modern science. 1t was
a race that could endure great suf-
ferings and knew nature better
than the white man. The old In
dians were called cruel and bar
barous, but they had provocation.
The white man usually treated
them as if they were no better than
the beasts of the forest.

The Bloodiest Fighting

The fighting between Germany
and Russia for the past two months
is called by some authorities the
bloodiest the world has ever seen.
Good authorities believe that the
German losses in dead, wounded
and prisoners number over 1,OOO,-
600. Russian losses are believed to
be greater, and might easily be
100000.
Up to now, the actual loss of life
in this war has been far less than
In the World war. In the former
war over 100000 soldiers of all
the nations lost their lives, while
nearly 100000 were wounded,
and over 6,7OO,OOO were reported
missing or in prison. The opera
tions of the Nazi blitzkreig in the
present war have been so swift and
sudden and overwhelming up to the
time of the Russian war that the
countries were conquered with
relatively small loss of life.
In the war with Russia, the Ger
mans have had for the first time to
meet a military force comparable
with their own. The Russians
have fought with fanatical bravery.
They have had a lot of tanks and
planes and have made good use of
them. The Germans have had to
pay terrific price.
The world of some future day
will look at such fighting as an
example of stupidity that will be
nearly unbelievable. That great
masses of men should meet in
deadly combat, when the men of
neither side had any clear idea
what they were fighting for. will
seem almost incredible.
$50 the nations continue to burn
up their, wealth as if it was just
refuse, and they sacrifice the lives
Of their young men as if they had
no more, value than the wild ami
mails of gthe forest. No possible
gains to be made by a war can
compensate for these losses. But
wars apparently will go on, until
the fighting nations learn that war
Is not a paying proposition.

The Biggest Fish

Some wonderful pictures come
in from the summer resorts of big
fish caught in lake or ocean. The
listener often doubts the fish stor-
les, but when the actual photo
graphs are presented, he is COM
PEELED to admit that some mighty
finny specimens still linger in those
dark waters.
The lovers of the fishing art are
well employed, as they drop their
prepared hooks and bats. AS they
study the problem of how to induce
the fish to bite, they aren't worry
ing over the stock market or the
war, and they aren't making life
unsafe by too fast speeding over
the roads. Fishing induces calm
philosophy about life. The man
who can wait for the fish to bite
has an element of perseverance
that our impatient modern world
often lacks.

Hay Fever

Millions of people now suffer
from hay fever, and their sneezing
is heard all over the land. Their
running noses and watery eyes are
no joke to these sufferers, who
study the summer resort adver-
tisements to learn of some place
where these infections do not fill
the air.
This malady is supposed to be
due mainly to the pollen of plants.
People who allow luxuriant crops
of weeds to grow on their land may
tolerate organisms that reduce
some neighbor to tears. 1t appears
to be partly a nervous trouble.
Victims may be slightly consoled
to learn that it is said to particu-
larly affect intellectual persons.
Modern science has cured many
sufferers by incubation. but it may
take long study to determine the
particular kind of dust that is the
enemy of your nasal passages.

Our Own Resources

Most towns have greater possi-
bilities for growth within them
selves than they realize. One of
those resources is the money which
its people are constantly spending.
If they can be induced to spend
that money at home, it builds up
the home town.
There are in most places people
who are eager to start some kind
of a business, and are competent
to make success Of it. A pro-
gressive town helps such people
make a start. The progressive
town builds up by investing money
in home enterprises. 1t builds itself
up by finding jobs for its own
young people in the home town,
which induces them to settle down
and devote their energy to the
causes of home town progress.

The World Likes tiusrlers

There is certain quality o
eager activity which has beer
common among the American peo
pie. Persons. who manifest thai
quality have way of getting
ahead. while those who lack it have
way of falling behind.
Certain people have always been
described as 'quick motioned.'
Their fingers move swiftly over
the bench or machine and they
turn out a lot Of work in a day, if
no outside influence. slows them
down The housewives Of this type
move fast from room to room, and
from kitchen stove to pantry shelf.
They see mountain of things
ahead of them that need to be done,
and they attack this mountain like
young athlete determined to
reach its top in record time.
Then there is the eager mind, the
desire to learn and know: We get
a fine example in the countless
summer schools in session this
year. These ambitious students
are not satisfied with the host of
things they have already learned.
They see the vast area of know
ledge into which they have not ven
tured, and they dream of the things
they could accomplish if, they had
more Of that knowledge.
So they open every book with a
sense of intense curiosity, and try
every day for some new perception
Of life or new familiarity with ma
ture or human activity.
Some of these folks, both in ply
,ical and mental labor, try to do so
many things that they don't do any
If them we'll. But the world likes
o see the eagerness and alertness
If people who like their work and
want to do more of it, and are keen
very day to know more about the
world. There are too many who try
o get the highest possible pay for
he least possible amount of work.
Iustlers are always popular. Am
'ition, eagerness to know and to do
nd the alert mind, are grand quail
Ties, and the world rewards them.

JobIess Amid Prosperity

The Works Progress Administra-
ton reports that 100000 persons
were unemployed during July. Yet
the country has reached a higher
level of-industrial production than
ever before. Why is it that at a
time when there is such demand
for skilled labor, so many people
can find nothing to do?
A good part of the 5,6OO,OOO per-
sons are no doubt unskilled labor
ers. Such people can not be of SER
vice in Skilled trades which require
long training. The country needs
a great additional number of trade
schools, which shall teach boys
and young men to do skilled work
in mechanical lines.
Young men and boys should be
keen to obtain such instruction.
Many Of them today would rather
have a Job which would pay fair
amount Of money right away quick,
than take some job at lower pay
which would give them a skilled
trade. Many of them sacrifice stea-
dy work for many years for the
chance of little pocket money to
spend on fun.
Probably considerable number
of women are unemployed because
they have distaste and lack of
skill for housework. If people want
comfortable lives, they have to do
the things the world wants done,
and put up with features of that
work they do not like. Many more
households would employ domestic
workers if they could find COM
petent women and girls who were
willing to work for moderate pay.
On account Of short working
hours, many companies have put in
labor-saving equipment. The un-
employment problem is not solved
by cutting down the hours of work.
1t seems to be fixed policy of this
country that the government shall
provide jobs for those who can't
find work. 1t will be good policy to
spend more money on teaching the
unemployed skilled trades, so that
their services shall be more in de-
mand.

Infant Paralysis

Ominous news comes from GER
tain of the Southern and Middle
States that infantile paralysis is
spreading. It is a pitiful sight to
see some young person victim OF
this mysterious disease.
One day the victim may be well
and vigorous, when what seems a
slight ailment begins to develop. In
few days some serious loss of
muscular power is apparent. 1t
strikes like snake in the dark.
And the misery of it is that it may
take such extended and patient
treatments to remove its Gripping
effects. Countless people have hob
bled through life after this misfor-
tune descended on them like a bolt
of lightning.

Arts And Crafts

The League of New Hampshire
Arts and Crafts has been function
ing for eight years. 1t helps peo-
pie practice weaving, pottery, wood
cutting, etc. Its exhibit last year
drew $4,000 visitors representing
SO states, and this years show was
expected to best that attendance.
Countless people, largely women,
would like to develop industries
that could be practised in their
homes and leisure hours. This cr-
ganization helps them realize that
idea. They learn how to turn out
beautiful and useful articles, and
the summer visitors buzz around
their exhibits like flies around a
spot Of molasses.

Building Up The Home
Town

People all say they want to build
up the home town. Just what do
they mean? Usually they mean
more business, more population,
and better opportunities.
1t takes combined effort to ac-
complish such results. Talking
does not accomplish them. 1t takes
some organization constantly work
ing to take advantage of opportuni-
ties. Most Of the cities that have
gained in business and population
had very active business organiza-
tions. These organizations looked
out for concerns that were plan
ming to establish new branches or
move their plants, and persuaded
such concerns that their town was
the best place for them to locate.
A business organization has to be
well supported with money and
public interest to do such things.
