Babson Discusses What
To Buy If You're Wise

the possession of land or OF gov
eminent bonds did not help the re
fugees to get away. A family may
have had land and factories worth
millions of dollars, but these coulc
not be moved. 1t was their d1a-
monds, gold and other Jewels
which saved the refugees. Ihese,
thew could take with them and II
was these things which brought
them safely to some other country.
What To Buy
The most marketWlse OF all
family heirlooms are good dla-
monds of from one to two carats,
combined with a fair amount OF
gold or platinum. The best o. these
retail at from $3.50 upward per
carat. Rare rugs and beautiful
antiques also have a ready market
and are usually appreciated when
inherited by children and grand
children. Certainly, every family
should possess some of these
real things along with stocks,
bonds and ever bank accounts.
Even before Bible Days, oriental
pearls were the most beautiful ard
most eagerly sought for OF all
Jewels. Until recently a string OF
good pearls would sell for from
s25, 900 to $50, 900. while one pearl
might easily sell for $500. When
the japanese began to develop
cultured pearls the market for orr
entail pearls began rapidly to slide.
Actually, a cultured pearl is a real
pearl obtained by putting a grain
of sand into an oyster and watch
ing the oyster for a few years until
a pearl h a S been developed and
then using it for a jewel. Very few
people can today detect a string
of cultured pearls, which sells at
5000, from a string of oriental
pearls which once sold for s25, 900.
When To Buy Jewels
The price of jewels, rare rugs
and fine furniture goes up and
down like the price of land, com
modities a n d stocks. This means
that they all can be purchased for
very much less during a depres-
sion. Hence, do not spend too
much on these things today b ut
wait for lower prices. Yet. if one
will put a little money into these
each year the price should aver
age up in the long run Besides,
the purchaser then gets a pleasure
from their longer use.
Just one more word about
pearls. There is nc reason for any
sensible person to spend good
money today for so-called real
oriental pearls even though they
can be bought for 20 per cent OF
what they sold for before the first
cultured pearl was grown. Too
many women classify cultured
pearls" with artificial pearls"
Hence, there is not the market for
cultured pearls which there should
be. Furthermore, there is so much
labor involved in the raising, grad
ing and polishing of cultured
pearls that they could sell con.
siderably higher. especially if this
country should eliminate its excise

At least so per cent Of the
people of the United States have
a bias against some group in the
population according to the For
tune Survey published in Oct
ODER: In varying degrees Protest
ant, Jews, Catholics and colored
are objects Of prejudice, But
bad as this is in itself the situa-
ton takes on even more signi-
canoe in the light of what it can
mean for the entrenchment in
America of a subversive move
ment known as Fascism.
You do not hear very much
these days about Fascism. In
deed, you hear some people say
that, since the destruction of the
Nazi tyranny, Fascism scarcely
exists. 1t is true that organized
Fascism has suffered a reverse.
But the prejudices it spread dur
ing the days of its power before
the war have been by no means
equally reduced. These prejud-
ices, based on Misrepresentation
and ignorance, were directed
against Catholics, Jews, Protest
ants and coloTed depending
upon the particular line of in
dividual propagandists. And it is
precisely against these groups
that so per cent of our people now
entertain a bias.
Fascists attempt to build their
following by melting perjudice
against some racial or religious
group With so per cent of the
population already preiudiced to
some extent they have potential
allies already at hand. They
could become actual allies under
the leadership of one of our ma
tive demagogues if circumstances
should arise which would make
people UNHAPPY enough to de-
mand ascapegoat to blame for
their troubles. The scapegoat

THE CHANGING SOUTH
BY CLIFFORD |. MILLER

The South is changing faster
than is seen on the surface. The
caste system the least reflects
the changes. In travelling on the
crack trains there is equal ac-
comodation ;on locals there is
more respect by the train crews.
On the L and N railroad the sign
For Colored Passengers, was
not hung up. To my amazement
I found the Union station in
Washington serving colored pas
sengers without segregation.
The inequality in housing,
ranging from mansion to a sham
BILE struck me as the South's in
fanny. So much of dangerous, dis
eased, delapidated housing in this
the richest and most democratic
of all lands is its own damag-
ing commentary Of the slow
march of democracy. A nat
ional housing program is one Of
our pressing democratic pro-
blems. These gun-shot implanted
run-down-a t-the-heel houses put
to fight our pilgrim pride.
Big business has brought the
South under its control so that
prices are pretty 1Clch one and
the same, the country over Wa
ges have been increased grud-
gingly. Labor organization is re-
sisted an dthe fear of Commun-
ism is the singing lash to keep
working Sountherners in line.

Chamber of Commerce issued a
public appeal. Members of the
League of Women Voters went
around town using their persua-
sive arguments on the parents of
truants. Clergyme nof all demon
nations pleaded with their congre
cations to send their children
back to school. The United Steel
Workers voted that members who
did not return their youngsters
would be violating the anti-dis-
elimination policy of the Nation
al Clio and were, therefore, sub
ject to suspension from the
union. A state law was invoked
for the first time when a man sus-
pected of egging on the truants
was arrested under the new In
diana statute, which makes it un-
lawful for any person to spread
malicious hatred by reason of
race, color or religion"
The break finally came during
the second week of school, when
parents of the absentees met and
decided they could no longer
buck the solid opposition of the
community. By the end of that
week, eighty per cent of the
truants were back in their class
rooms. Enrolment was normal
the following Monday.
Quietly and firmly, the better
citizens Of Gary took their stand
for democracy, and stuck by it.

THANKSGIVING

By ST. Clair Kirton
Behold the fields! How still they lie
Fused to the regions of the sky;
Engrossed in wondrous, beauteous praise
Of rustic, mute symphonic lays
How readily they give their all,
And beckon--haste! ere winters fall
Despoils the sewers welcome gain
Of ripened fruit and golden grain.
List to the woodlands chanting lyres
While towering hills, like mortared spires,
Transmit the reaper's tuneful praise
To Him, whose love all fear allays.
Lord of the harvest thanks to Thee
For Thine unfailing charity!
May all Thy creatures upward rise
And ever strive to do kewise

groups against which preju-
dice already exists. And therein
lies the strength of Fascism.
Another danger, undiscerned
by many, turks in the advan-
tage that Fascists try to draw
ism. For Fascists always make
much of their opposition to Com
from our fight against Commun-
munism which they are careful
by employing the most bare
faced faISehoods-to identify
with Jews. They labor to turn
anti-CommuniSm into anti-Semi-
tism and so set the stage, not pri-
Imarily for the Punishment of
Communism, but for the esta-
blishment of Fascism. They are
making an effort to do that now.
To save the Republic from Fas-
cism as we'll as Communism it
therefore becomes urgent:
First, that we stop minimizing
the danger of Fascism. For Fas-
cism feeds on racial and reli-
gious perjudice of which we have
an unhealthy degree in America
at the moment.
Second, that the Church, the
school, the home, the press, the
community, and the state make
renewed and heroic efforts to cut
the roots of Fascism by reduc-
ing racial and religious preiu-
dive where it exists.
Third, that we oppose Com
munism with all our strength
for the evil thing it is without
permitting Fascists to use oppo-
sition to Communist as an excuse
and a means for entrenching
themselves.
Both Fascism and Communism
are anti-Christian and un-Ameri-
can. Good Christians and loyal
Americans will have nothing to
do with either.

Observations

Here I come again with that
American short "a" propaganda.
Vocal teachers Including my
self generally use five vocal
sounds in their teaching, and
short "a" is not used by any
others that I know of but my
self. The "a" as in cat, hand,
tramp, etc. seem to be unknown
to the teachers, students and
performers of vocal, and we hear,
instead, 'cawt 'haWnd' 'trawmp',
etc. One is not considered a good
singer unless he sidestepS the
American short ga. Well, I have
sung it, taught 1t and rooted for
it, 10 these many years. They say
it is not singable or musical. I
say it can be made so, and accept
the challenge offered by the al
legged difficulties presented by its
use. If you are going to sing
American. you must use Ameri-
can vowels and not diStort the
language by changing the pro-
nunciation authorized by the best
usage. I don't expect to change
the practice Of years, but I can
express my opposition to it. Pa.
triotic in all things else, Ameri-
cans are still aping the art stand
ards of the continent" I resent
the taking low to everything for
eign, and here, in my studio, we
are developing the Amrican with
no concessions to our neighbors
across the pond. Sing American
to Americans.

gram of the Samuel Coleridge-
