ALL DRUGGISTS Federal-American Finance By JOHN POOLE Who's Who in Washington in 1932 ‘That's only ten years from now—not long, for the time passes swiftly by. The’ then leaders—the outstanding successtul men of 1932 are but in the making today. Who will these men be? They are the younger men of today who are getting ready for tomorrow’s opportunities. They are setting up & money reserve—saving out of today’'s earnings—building capital of their own. Men who show self-mastery—men who know how to use and take care of their own money, have no trouble in horrowfi; additional funds from their banker when they need bank assistance to go into business. Your _boy has a chance, but he needs help and encourage- ment fyom you now. Take a banker's advice and give all your children bank accounts.

Probably the most interesting fea- ture of Dr. Gates' work is the Indlan, Cipriano Alvarado, who assisted him. He never had written or read a word until he taught himselt at the age of twenty-five. He lives in the almost inacoessible mountains of Central America and is of the purest blood descended from the Maya empire buflders. g Dr. Gates, who is director general of the National Museum of Guatemala, has been studying the Maya inscrip- tions and ruins for more than twenty years. Dr. Gates also will endeavor to aid the progress of the Guatemalans and their country and to open the land to development. In that connection ! the Indian Alvarado has returned to his people to introduce_the simple primer Dr. Gates is prearing for. the education of the Indians.
