AN END! “Strong-arm” methods of raising money for public or semi-public purposes came into vogue during the war. They may or may not have been necessary then; anyway, the public stood for them. And it was almost as “compulsory” for a man to subscribe to this war charity or that war chest as it was to buy his “allotment” of Liberty bonds. The country stood for it—then. But there is no reason for bringing these war- time methods of raising funds over into the peace peri There is no reason for any charitable or- ganization’s attempting:what eee black- mail game to raise any fund these-days for any purpose, y Let the giving be purely voluntary, Away with the picking of men and women in crowds, with “You give so much” or “You. come through with fifty.” That’s a fine way to make charity unpopular, and every organization that uses these methods makes it harder for every other deserving organi- zation to raise funds by voluntary offerings. THE FUTURE A young man said, “If there was only some way I could see myself in the future, how much easier it would be now.” We can see ourselves in the future if we are willing to make an honest inventory of our inten- tions. Here are a few formulas to go by. If I am thrifty, honest and interested in my neighbors I am pretty sure of a home, a good in- come and many friends in after years. If I am ‘selfish, grabbing and looking after my own interests, only, the future will contain money in plenty, perhaps, a house and’a few acquaint- ances who avoid me except when my position or my-money. will benefit them. i If I want to do big things and am willing to make the sacrifices to attain my desires, I’ll get them. And, so on through a great long list of ifs that will show you what you will be in years to come. “Y But; you must be honest with yourself in look- ing ahead. You've got to go beneath your daily attitude toward life and find out if the attitude is grounded on solid rock. Otherwise the formula will not work. MRS. MARY GOOSE AND RILEY “Will the poetry of James Whitcomb Riley live?” : A Kansas City newspaper asks this question, and it is an interesting one too; for it involves all literary appeal in the matter of popularity and duration. Only Riley’s child’s verse will live. His poems intended for the mature mind will not live. . This last classification of his work, for the most part, is of rural life and while it has a re- fined, artistic and healthful appeal to “fond recol- lection,” yet most of us of any rural recollections at all, fond or otherwise, are fast passing. Most of us today are of city birth and rearing, and will be in increasing numbers in generations to come. And then again rural life is changing—the telephone, the gas power engine, the automobile, the truck and tractor has put another phase upon it from the time of which Riley sung. All these appliances are having a tendency to make the city man and farmer one people, and in another generation or two neither will know much of the rural life of now, The reason Riley’s Child verse will live is that, all children are alike in the sense that up to a cer- tain age they are not affected by time or condi- tions. Any verse or song that appeals-'to one genera- tion of children will appeal to all geherations of children of about the same age.“ ; Children are absolutely natural—and’ that is the reason, by the way, that we like them. And somebody said that*the reason children were natural was that they»were sure of dinner. There are numberless examples of the fact that what appeals to one generation of children will appeal to all generations, but the best is perhaps the verse of Mrs. Mary Goose who lived in Boston in the early part of the 17th century and who is now commonly known as Mother Goose. It seems that she entertained her grandchildren by improvised verses; that her son-in-law, a prin- ter and publisher, saw that what would appeal to hig.chi}dren. would appeal to other children—that in book form. And he was right even unto this generation and all generations, REVERSING ADVERTISING What a strange appearance the newspapers would present if you and I were compelled to ad- vertise our money just as merchants now feature their merchandise. For instance, this might be one of the ads. “I have some money saved up I want to spend. It is guaranteed by the government! I solicit your merchandise in change for my money. I will give | you as much money for your merchandise as any other person; will furnish you a pocketbook to {carry it in or will deliver it if desired? Try me. See my money before letting someone else have your merchandise,” If such were the way of doing business, mer- chants would have to employ “readers” of the pa- pers and men to follow up the ads. The cost of doing business would be hundreds of times what it now is. _ GOING UP Three great contributions to architecture made by America—fireproof buildings, steel-frame con- struction and the elevator, Most important is the elevator, Without it, the other two would not be possible, Thirty-two thousand apartments erected every normal year in New York City alone. Consider that and you realize the importance of the eleva- tor. This is its 60th anniversary. Spend your vacation in the canyons of the southwest and see the ruins of primitive apart- ment houses that lodged Mr. Cliffdweller and fam- ily, the people with active muscles and lazy brains. Daily. they climb dizzy heights via ladders, too stupid and lazy to invent an elevator. Archimedes, discoverer of the fulcrum or crow- bar, grasped the idea of the pulley, conceived a movable room (elevator) and raised the contrap- tion by winding the end of the rope on a revolv- ing drum moved by levers. The world’s first ele- vator. Villoyer, centuries ago, copied the idea of Archimedes. Called his device the “flying chair.” French king’s daughter tried it out . It stuck be- tween flowers and servants had to break down the walls of the shaft. It was 1850 before men began to take the ele- vator idea seriously. Then Hecker Bros., flour merchants of New York, installed a platform that moved up and down between notched columns— like the jack you lift your Ford with. Steam did the lifting. ‘ Most progress is the result of accident. An elevator loaded with boxes of sugar dropped—but the boxes did not break... The car had compressed. the air as it descended, the cellar being almost airtight. That instant was born the air-cushion principle used today. - In 1859 Otis Tuft came out with a vertical screw steel arrangement with a closed gear, and the modern elevator was a fact. Ponder the development of the elevator and you have the key to all progress, : First come the men whose brains discover me- chanical principles. Then other minds invent steel, strong cables, steam, engines—the means of putting the ideas into effect. The real benefactor to mankind is the man who can group principles and apply them to materials. All the principles of the elevator, all the ma- terials for making them, were known years before a genius applied them. The elevator made skyscrapers possible, but it occurred to no one to develop the steel-frame or skeleton type of building until 1891: During the Worlds Fair the Masonic Temple of Chicago was a great marvel, Today it is a dwarf compared with the Woolworth Building where the elevator carries you up 54 floors without stopping. ‘ All the knowledge of the world is valueless un- less you can apply it. Countless combinations of principles and materials now in.common use-are possible; fame and wealth await the organizing brain that can co-ordinate them into something useful for the human race—that can‘furnish an elevator to save the laborious climbing of stairs. There are mariy explanations of high prices, the best one being that manufacturers like profits and the people stand for it. “HORNING IN” Whoever adds to the small public stock of un- worn, salient, poetical, and picturesque words and phrases is a public benefactor. A North Dakota banker publishes a letter written, or supposed to be written, by the manager of the state bank established by the Nonpartisan league’s legisla- ture. The writer says that the head of the league, the famous bepraised and bewhacked Mr. A. C. Townley, has allowed me, if you will excuse the ex- pression, to use my own judgment in handling bank affairs in this state, and has never horned in. To the North Dakotans “horn in” is an old acquaintance. Into the East, where it has not yet become a recognized part of current speech, how- ever, it blows sharp and welcome as a blizzard among the heaven-climbing mercuries. It is a phrase full of dew, and grass, of great herds and spaces, of all the bucolic ox-eyed beauty and fresh- ness and forward-thrusting rush of the Banana Belt !—New York Times. | WITH THE EDITORS [ THE PLANTE nr OE ee Ne A YANK SAYS 18,000 OUT OF 21,000 OF HIS COMRADES WILL VOTE AGAINST TOWNLEY RULE Bonus System Which Proves a Flivver Hasn’t Increased Prestige of Obstructors With ‘Boys Who Fought for Their Flag Overseas “Gosh! ‘February’ 1, 1938!.
