THE TEST
The test Of man is the fight he
makes,
The grit that he daily shows;
The way he stands on his feet and
takes
Fato's numerous bumps and blows.
A coward can smi le when tn refs
nauSht to fear,
Whom nothing his progress bars;
But it takes man to stand and
While the other follow stars.
Tt isn't the vi Glory after ell,
But the Fl ght q brother makes;
The man who, driven against the
wall,
Still stands erect and takes
The blows Of Fate with his head
held Ii gh
Bleeding a1d brui S cd and ralo,
Is the man who'll win and Fate
For he isn't afraid to fall.
It's the hurdles you mount and
breaks you get,
And the shocks your courage stands
The hour Of sorrow and vain
regret,
For the prize that 9 scapos your
hands,
That test your mottlo and provo
your Wor tn;
Tt ism the blows you deal
But the blows you take on this
good old earth,
That show if your stuff is roal.

Compared with the pre-Christ-
mas week of 1888. when %. 924-O47

figure shows an increase of 2o.1

The huge increase in pre-Christ-

Gains were widespread through

Hall The Price Of War

And in the future when re-
dictionary economists berate the
alleged extravaganza of the
common people, which in fairer
terms is merely an expression
of their healthy desire for bet
ter living. il should be said IN
rebuttal that the public could
have had its fill of art museums.
public parks. nurseries. better
schools, and a vast increase in
family living standards at less
than half the price of war. War
is not only the greatest extrava-
gance of the human race, but
is the chief deterrent to i'm
proving the material wellbeing
of the people.
Instead of recognizing the i'm
plicationS of these common
sense realities. men everywhere
are still searching for recondite'
causes OF human misery. They
are still confusing their minds
with Marian fallacieS. and
failing 10 recognize the immense
social promise of the improved
technology of the power age.
AS result. they insist on
shallow policies which impede
a great productive mechanism.

touches Realities

Mr.. Roosevelt now seems to
be more in touch with the eco
nornic realties-more so. per-
haps. than some of those who
have been his followers.
Some of the deductions which
an economist may draw from
this chat are:
The President evidently be-
lieyes that the war will be a
long one
There seems to be every dis
position to go slowly and eau
tieusly in the matter OF priori-
ties and price control
Labor is not to be allowed TO
tie up production for defense by
strikes.
The Importance of co-opera-
ton between labor and capital
is recognized, and ownership,
management, capital and labor
are all mentioned without any
suggestion of bias or discrim-
lnatlon.
