This may seem farfetched unless subjected to a close s, in which cas2 ihe fundamental truth is arly evident The other day a lot of people were complaining that the country was experiencing unusually hard times be- cause not enough mills were turning their wheels Roger Babson, nationally famous statistician and economist, who has a passion for cold fact sup- ported by figures, retorted that the answer was that the real trouble was that not enough advertis- ing campaigns were going Unless the people are continually reminded that they want things they will shortly cease i want them. It is easily proved that we could get along without at least one-half of the things we ordi- narily use, but if we did do it something like one- half of the nation would be in dire want and the weatlh of the remainder would be covered with dust from the bank vaults where it was placed for safe-keeping, and where nobody would get any benefit from it. | Only when funds are passing from one hand to another, each taking its legitimate share, are times prosperous and people contented. Nobody is com- soon pelled to buy automobiles and ride in them. It is not necessary for anyone to wear silk, satin and fine linen. Nobody must have watches, or dia- monds, or tobaccos, or theatre tickets, or danc or painting, or photographs, or permanent waves or dainty china, or portieres, or painted ccreens, or dogs, or cats or canaries. All of these things can be eliminated and life still be lived in a fashion as long as one's income keeps up. But no one can doubt ‘what would happen if the nation should try to get along without them. If every person should suddenly cease to use and purchase the nonessen- tials, the wheels of industry, the social life of ihe nation would come to an abrupt standstill. In the end, it would mean a shut down of present day culture and humankind would merely retire to its| hole and live as its ancestors did in the dim ages of antiquity. ‘This brings us back to the assertion that adver- tising is the touchstone that keeps things moving. | The minute it is stopped people stop wanting things and when people stop wanting things, :vloresl stop selling things and factories stop making Lhings.l And when these things occur we have hard iimes. | SCIENCE AND HAPPINESS.

Although he had learned io read Braille, his approaches to literature and science had ! been narrow and arduous. Now he can see. In an operation bordering on the miraculous, surgeons have restored to this| youth the most precious of his faculties. In this | age of scientific marvels, none can surpass 1he_1 gift of sight to a man who had walked in physical | darkness throughout his life. | We are prone to complain of science. Once the“ tool of man, we sometimes say it has become his master and forces him into deadly routine that cramps his love of beauty and stifles his capacity | for leisurely happiness. But now and again there are such miracles of science as this restoration of sight to remind us that scientific knowledge and | skill are servants of mankind, and that they can bring beauty and joy into thwarted lives, can re- store to man his heritage of happiness. 1 § T R RS | SMITH RETAINS PERSONAL COUNSEL. Although Attorney Gen William G. Mitchell | has served notice that attorneys of the Department | of Justice will support George Otis Smith, Chair-| man of the Federal Power Commission, “as vigor- ously as they know how"” against the Senate’s at-| tempt to oust him from office, Mr. Smith is no!1 taking the case too lightly. This is indicated b}" the fact that he has retained former Senator George | Wharton Pepper, noted Philadelphia attorney who | served one term as United States Senator, as }usi While the proceedings are against Mr. Sm)th.: the fight is really one between the Senate and| President Hoover. It arose from the controversy= over the Senate’'s attempt to recall its confirmation of Mr. Smith's appointment. It requested the Presi- | dent to return his nomination for further consid- | eration. This he declined to do, saying sharply | that the demand was an unwarranted attempt by ! the Senate to encroach upon the executive domain. | The Senate, worsted in the debate which was hot | Smith’s place on the Commission illegally held. It has retained John W. Davis, Democratic Presidential nominee in 1924, to represent it in the test. This is the year that Senator Borah hits the| headlines as a Progressive. But 1932 will find | him doing business with the Old Guard in the| Republican band wagon. ‘ As we understand it, when silver is worth about 20 cents a pound, the old gag about clouds having silver linings doesn’t mean what it used to. Brother Joseph. (New York World-Telegram.) We take it for granted that some one, some- where, is performing the sad and terrible tasks| of the world. Then comes word that Brother Joseph, ! of Molokai’s leper colony, is dead, and with it sud- denly comes comprehension of the sacrifice and splendor of such a life as his The quality that makes men willing to give a whole life to service is a quality few men possess. Psychologists may discuss it in terms of withdrawal from the world. But without the nobility of such a lifé the world would have been a more dread- | ful place for the exiled sufferers out in the Pacific. Brother Joseph went to Molokai forty-five years | ago. He never left until they took him to a hos- pital in Honolulu to die. He dressed the wounds of the suffering and buried the dead. He studied | leprosy and ways to cure it. He brought methods of sanitation to the Island. He taught the lepers| and ministered to their spiritual needs. Brother Joseph was not a gloomy martyr. He| found happiness on Molokai, and his buoyant spirit made his ministrations rich and grateful to those about him. | They talked of him as a “saint.” He was one. Among the other reasons for spring optimism | is the fact that Congress will not meet until De- cember.—(Philadelphia Bulletin.) New York Stock Exchange plans a $10,000,000 | addition.
