(Official City, State and County Newspaper) THE POVERTY OF WEALTH “Our wealth has made us rich and left us poor, and ft has increased our power and destroyed our peace.” This statement comes from a report adopted by the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal church. Coming, as it does, on the heels of 6,000,000-share days in the stock exchange, it seems rather timely. We have grown into a rather peculiar attitude in the past decade. Despite the fact that a good many citizens have had to go hungry at various times in that period, we have been, on the whole, very pros- perous. Gorgeous new buildings have shot up in every city. The number of automobiles has increased tre- mendously. The radio has come into existence as an added luxury for the ordinary man. Movie theaters have grown ornate as grand opera houses. All of this has given us a warped outlook. We have fallen into the habit of judging everything on a hard cash basis. No more do we respond to appeals to our idealism or our altruism. The man we will follow is the man who can tell us how we shall get more money in our pockets, We gauge our progress in dollars. We believe that we have advanced greatly because we are vastly richer than we used to be—and if anyone ‘lissents we put him down as a bolshevik. Now, most refreshingly, an organization of church- men raises its voice to remark that there are other standards than the money standard. It suggests that there may even be more important things than pros- perity, Heresy, of course. Yet it is quite possible that the American people, in steadily-increasing numbers, will come to adopt such attitudes in the near future. Although Europe has called us a nation of dollar- chasers for generations, we are not and never have been, a materialistic people. From the very beginning Americans have been idealists and visionaries. Our entrance into the World War, for instance, may have been, at bottom, a matter of money; yet the support of the people as a whole was won by appeals to the intangible values—liberty, democracy, freedom, Ever since the war we have been content to follow the dollar. But the pendulum will swing the other way. We shall discover, in due time, the truth of this remark of the churchmen—that we can be vastly rich in money but lamentably poor in the things that are most worth having. When that day comes we shall realize that material Prosperity is a means to an end, and not an end in itself. MERCHANDISING MORE COMPLEX One of the nation’s great mercantile establishments has a department manned by skilled designers who cooperate with manufacturers in the development of existing designs and, eventually, in the creation of new styles and types of merchandise. The starting point was in the field of home furnishings and decoration. Later it is planned to include apparel and eventually all merchandise divisions, This move on the part of one of the most progres- sive institutions in its field illustrates very clearly how closely the modern retailer is studying the desires of the customer. Not only are the markets combed for the best that manufacturers have to offer, but designs are create] to meet what the store finds are unsatisfied demands. This study of the consumer's wishes is what today: distinguishes successful merchandising. The buying public today demands more than a prod- uct at a price. It wants goods with character, dis- tinction and artistic value, and it knows what goods Possess these qualities. American merchants are doing business with persons of good taste. That business welcomes and encourages this change not commonly known. Many producers and merchants have sighed for the days when the product had to be right and volume took care of itself, and they now cheer themselves with the thought that, perhaps with the new insistence upon design, the cycle | © of such real “trading up” is on its way back. It is not true that it is easiest to sell to the customer devoid of taste and an appreciation of real quality, A WOMAN’S TASK Mrs. Nellie A. Mellon, 71-year-old Michigan farm ‘woman, astonished her neighbors at a corn husking bee recently by pitching in and husking 410 crates of corn. If you have ever had a fling at that extremely hard job you will realize what endurance and physical stam- ing that called for. That little news item reminds us forcibly of the dif- ference between the present day and the day of our fathers. It was not so many years ago that a farm ‘woman, even in her age, had to be able to take hard Jobs like that as a matter of course. The early settlers took back-breaking work as a regular feature of exist- ence. They never experienced anything else, Now, when a 71-year-old woman husks 410 crates of corn, it becomes an interesting news story. A few dec- ades ago it was a commonplace. BROAD-MINDED ‘Statistics can always be argued from different points of view. Yet the temptation to collect and dally with them persists. For example, the public’s reception of @ recent. book is cited-by the publishers as proof that America is a tolerant land. It has been the fashion to represent the people of the United States as narrow-minded and intolerant of views which differ with their own. Yet here was a book dealing with’ socialistic theme and distributed to from. those readers one letter of indignant The verdict was that America is a broad- not provoke nation, \ from. these same figures exactly to the contrary. Xt may be true; it probably is true. But Mencken, Lewis and others toward whom the triumphant shout of. is addressed, could doubtless argue York city, declares in the current North American Re- view that the nation’s list of deaths due to alcohol this year will exceed 126,000. The mortality rate from drink, he says, instead of declining with the advance of prohibition, is actually gaining. The greater number of these deaths, Says Dr. Norris, are due to what we call “poison liquor.” They come because all liquor now being marketed contains highly injurious elements which, in the long run, have an extremely harmful effect on the health. - Statistics, adds Dr. Norris, do not show the increase in deaths due to alcoholism, because most private physicians will not list alcoholism on a death certificate. But he insists that his estimate is accurate. Dr. Norris’ figures, to say the least, are not exactly reassuring. SPEED AND ACCIDENTS An English traffic expert, after a long study of traf- fic sta‘istics, finds that something like 56 per cent of all .affie accidents occur when the autos involved are being driven at a rate of 10 miles an hour or less. As a result, he doubts if speed limits, by themselves, are rer!!y greatly needed. It has been obvious for some time that mere speed, uncomplicated by any other factor, is not necessarily dangerous. There are plenty of times and places where 45 miles an hour is not too fast. But there is this to remember: if, when driving at 10 miles an hour, you happen to hit another car, you won't have a very bad wreck. But if you hit some- thing when you're doing 40, you probably won't live to have another accident. The low speeds may bring the greater number of accidents, but the higher speeds bring the more serious ones. THE HUDSON BILL One of tk» best things that the next Congress could do would be to toss in the wastebasket the Hudson bill for federal censorship and control of motion pictures. This bill, said to be the most drastic of its kind yet drawn up, will be submitted with the backing of a large number of teform organizations. The movies, Heaven knows, are sadly in need of im- provement; but the improvement they need is not the kind that can be secured by federal law. In the matter of common decency and morality we are already pro- tected by state and city laws; and the movies’ banality, shoddiness, pretentious triteness and extreme bad taste are not matters that any censor can remedy. ‘z critic Learning that 9,000 umbrellas ‘are left BARBS Oil has been discovered in Brazil.

O’Laughlin, wireless operator of the found- ered steamer Vestris, was the fifteenth man of his call- ing in the history of the SOS signal to die with his shin after he had summoned aid. To him goes the credit of the rescue of 213 persons. He paid with his life. High honor will be his among mariners. His name will b: i d on the monument raised in Battery park, New , to radio men who stuck with their ships to th end. It will find fitting companions there. Wireless was young when the British liner Republic sank on Jan. 23, 1909, off Nantucket light after a co lison with the steamer Florida. The signals of J. Binns brought relieving vessels; the disaster list wa limited to six. Since that time the traditions of th wireless rooms have been accumulating! they are al! fine, true, lasting. The code of the wireless men i: straightforward end clean; through it they live calmly and are ready to die if their duty bids. Fourteen names are on the Battery memorial, Every one is connected, like that of Jack Phillips, who stuck to the Titanic after it struck an iceberg in April of 1912 sinking with an appalling loss of life (but with mor than 700 saved), with deeds which live in the minds of men.

The weight of evidence, say some foodists and fad- dists, is against waffles and battercakes as regular breakfast diet. In support of this we have to admit that there is at least one of Columbia’s well known business men. who has had to give up attending Sunday school because the cook won’t come in time on Sunday: to give him more than three waffles before 10 o'clock; which is of course all very wrong. _ On the other hand, just cast your eye on that Caro- a football team, from end to end waffle hounds of championship capacity (did you ever see a son of Car- olina who wasn’t?); a hominy-fed backfield and half a dozen coaches of highest battercake and flapjack caliber.

FRANZ SCHUBERT (New York World) , Just how this Franz Schubert celebration got started is not quite clear to us, and neither is the good that will come of it; for appreciation of music, on the face of it, does not appear to be one of those things which can be Promoted by concerted action. However that may be, this much is certain: that the massed civic clubs of the world, when they elected to honor Schu- bert. elected to honor a champion. 'No man of his generation,” writes H. L.

I'm sure USE RAW CABBAGE The amount of cabbage: consumed throughout the world is enormous. Of all vegetables, only the potato exceeds it in popularity. Indeed, in many parts of the world cabbage is practically the only fresh vege- table obtainable during the winter months. While raw cabbage is quite a wholesome -vegetable, the cooking Process aeems to make the sulphur compounds of cabbage peculiarly volatile, causing cooked cabbage to be a great gas producer. ‘There is art in the selection of the choicest’'cabbage. Properly selected cabbages are young, crisp, and as fresh ossible. The exterior present a green ap- Unfortunately cabbage may remain crisp for several months after being picked, and if the outer leaves are removed can be made to appear fresh for several weeks; however, the longer cabbage has been kept the more gas-forming it es, When properly selected and eaten, cabbage furnishes a valuable bulk ig intestines and is rich in vita- mins. -Cabbage should be avoided by those with ‘asthmatic or flatulent tendencies. The cabbage family contains a number of related vege- tables such-as brussels sprouts, cauli- flower, kale, kohlrabi, collards, red cabbage and savory cabbage. These are all wholesome, but like the cab- bage are Cea as jauerkraut is cabbage preserved by cutting the fresh heads into fine shreds and mixing with salt in bar- rels or crocks and allowing the mix- ture to ferment. ~ Because of the large amount of salt the general use of sauerkraut is not advisable, but it may be used occasionally when fresh vegetables are not obtainable. It is slightly cathartic because of the excessive amount of salt. Sauer- kraut should be washed to remove the surplus salt. Here are a few recipes for preparing cabbage which you may find interesting: Tomatoes Stuffed with Cabbage Remove the centers from toma- toes, teaving the shell intact. After cutting a, raw cabbage ‘into small pieces, run through a vegetable chopper and mix with grated small carrots, finely chopped célery, the tomato pale and olive oil.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Removing Wrinkles Question: H.K.asks: “Can you suggest a good prescription for re- moving wrinkles ?..I don’t know what to buy, as there are so many remov- ers from which to choose.” Answer: It is dangerous to use preparations for removing wrinkles except as they are use by a trained cosmetician. Sometimes liquid prep- arations are used, and others use a peeling induced by a burning of the ultra-violet light. Massage treat- ment can then be given to the ski and ice applied several times daily to produce a good blood circulation. The very small wrinkles can be al- most entirely removed by such meth- ods, but of course the large ones cannot be changed except by facialy surgery, and the final results of this method are * véry disappointing. Watch for the articles appearing to- morrow and Wednesday. Rancid Butter Question: Hazel asks: © “What causes the rancidity of butter? And is there any method of making it fresh again?” Answer: The bitter taste of ran- cid butter is caused by butyric acid which has formed. This acid can be removed to a large extent by thor- oughly washing the butter in fresh milk which gbsorbs the butryic acid. Afte®. this, the butter should bey High Blood Pressure Question: Mr. K.
