Something to Worry About!

The New York Herald Tribune re-
Gently printed the following article:
1.-THE physical universe is moving
steadily toward mediocrity and is
bound to be thoroughly uninterest-
ing In less than 100 billion years,
according to DR.. Henry Norris Rus
sell, professor of astronomy at
Princeton" A wag wrote In in be-
half of all who may be worrying
about this discovery of DR.. Russell.
He advised those still lingering on
this earth to take another good look
at the universe before it is too late.

phone, refrigerator, club, car, beau
ty parlor must be given up for
awhile at least.
Successful Families Save.
But that still leaves the soup ket-
tie and the radio and the small
home In which man and woman
are building for sound future.
Ninety-nine out of every hundred
successful American lives began
that way. / don't mean multi-mil-
ionaires, although such fortunes as
the Ford and the Woolworth for
tunes started with the saving of
nickels and dimes. But I mean the
hundreds of thousands of prosperous
folk who live In the handsome homes
we all drive past on Sunday; the
big rooms and the big fires, the nice
little maid coming to the door, the
boys off in college, the girls having
glorious times at dances and ski
ing parties.
And believe me, there's a great
relish to life lived on the terms of
love in cottage. There's great
thrill in stretching those seven pre-
cious dollars every week to spread
over butter and eggs, cornstarch
and carrots, apples and bacon. No
partnership in life is quite as heart
filling as the partnership of the man
and woman who have the courage
to withdraw for awhile from the
competition of card-parties and din
ners, new frocks and new cars, and
look ahead to a bigger future. It
isn't always easy to do. The i'm
pulse to take the car on long extrav-
agant trips, to send just few flow
ers to Betty In the hospital, to wire
the Browns on their anniversary, or
to spend as much for Christmas
wrappings as for the gifts within the
wrappings, is very natural one.
Road to Wealth.
But what you learn In the lean
years, what you gain from books and
walks and plans when you decide to
live within-not your income, but
two-thirds of it, will be of priceless
value to you all the rest of your
life. For saving even a little and
keeping out of debt is the INEVITA-
BILE road to wealth. You don't I'M
derstand that truth, and neither do
I. But the truth remains. Families
that keep absolutely out of debt and
that save even few dollars a month
are as inevitably pushed toward
prosperity as families, who follow
the other course, sink steadily to-
ward habitual financial trouble and
incompetence and discomfort.
And the strange thing is that if
the thrifty family has to face an
expensive illness, reduction In sal
airy the rule works just the same.
A few months, few years, and they
are steadily on the up grade again.
Whereas the spendthrift family may
inherit $40, 900, may inherit 10 times
that sum, and within a few years it
viii be deep In money trouble again.
A couple / knew lived carelessly
and casually in debt for some 10
years. Then the man received a
legacy of some $40, 900.

The answer to this is that ANY
steady salary is enough for the right
wife, and that no salary-no matter
how large, is enough for the wrong
one. If Margaret is intelligent
enough, and strong enough, to mar
~ her John on his 1900, she will
discover that she can live comforta-

on that sum. If she is going to
make her one object in married life

she can afford what she cannot af-

terms rather than her own, then she
has lost the fight before she ever

In other words, if you marry on

be done; it can be done with dignity
and comfort. It means that your
