Pueblo, in building, stuck to the easiest. way-+- the river flats. . Like most. of the rest of us: ..We fail to. use the brains we have and then call cala+ mity something other:than what it is—the result of human folly or weakness... Pueblo had warning from the Indian traditions of the flood possibilities of the Arkansas River. She had a warning flood in 1894. She had another warning 20 years ago when Rockefeller engineers, noting that the Arkansas locally was a little river in a narrow valley, took heed and. built the great Minnequa steel plant:on high ground. bias also warned Pueblo at the time... This steel iilant’ was untouched by , the, recent flood. -But Pueblo’s other industries and her rail- roads, which had preferred the easy. grades of:the bottom-lands to. expensive tunnels and steep grades, were ruined. Levees are.out of the question at Pueblo. : The Mississippi, rises, inch by. inch over a 1000-mile course..; ‘The Arkansas goes up ‘five or six’ feet.an hour.and levees to,hold it would pave to out-top the: Woolworth, Building., 1 Will Pueblo move up on the hillside? ‘Probably not. Kor, with the exception. of Pompeii, men-have always rebuilt on the scenes of great disasters. _9We are like moths that return to the candle- flame. Scientists:; are excavating Beth-shan, ancient city of Palestine. Buried beneath.it are,10 other cities, one rising on top of the other... Some were destroyed by in: vading .armies, others by fires and ine natural disaster$, such as earthquakes. So it goes all through history—the .survivors |. returning, like aunts, to rebuild on the site of disaster... iit It is a.monument to man’s refusal to become discouraged; in isolated cases, like Pueblo, :.a monument to the universal: tendency to follow the easiest way, regardless of dangers. .. , You find the same thing in-the average. lifes man making the same mistake over .and, over again. Few of us learn: our lesson, real gu¢cess, is reached by the road of obstacles, not by the easiest way: Skeletons may now be imported free.: Perhaps the supply in European closets exceeds the de-|}- mand. Hae SMOKERETS Congressman Paul Johnson of : Mississippi doesn’t believe in equal rights for women. He: has introduced:.a bill:.ins Congress whieh would subject to.a. fine. of $25 any. woman guilty of smoking in the District of Columbia. Men would: be permitted to: puff. as usual. Still, with the tax.and tariff bills buried in com- mittee, Congress must have something to talk about during the summer. ARE YOU A LEADER? One ‘of the strangest things in nature—some- thing that determines whether you\are to bea success or failure—is reported by a man just back ‘from a fishing trip in Canada. He saw a school. of thousands of baby-: salmon trout, about: half as jong as pins,.swimming in military formation, following a leader. Ne phi “That leader looked just like the rest,” says the fisherman. ‘ “What made him take charge of: all the others?’ And what, made the others follow him as-naturally as}the rear wheels of a Jiaey fol- low the front wheels?” If you can fathom that problem, you- have the secret of success — and the swrele science of gov- ernment: +: : The fiherman took a minnow: net and caught the, tiny; trout: leader. » Immediately another baby trout took, the leader’s place and the school swam on without an: instant’s pause; | Is that just instinct? Human beings do the same. In Chicago, 100;-unemployed negroes thought they'd found a way to escape rent.

In ancient Sparta, they lived without the fam- ily institution. | » But wherever. men congregate, tha organiza-| iiek called government is inevitable.
