The persons who wish they had millions are not thinking of the responsibilities, but of the power to do what they would like to without thought of the cost. It is an inexorable truth, however, that power and responsibility are always linked together. 1t is well, therefore, for those of us who are not millionaires to give a pass- ing thought to this truth when we ‘wish we had a million dollars. It helps us to be satisfled with our lot when we appreciate that it is not without its own, peculiar blessings. The worries of money are carried to the extreme by the originator of the expression, “Blessed be nothing.” It was in a moment of great responsibility, when the riches were more of & perplexity than a pleas- ure, that such B"’I‘uh could have been spoken in sincerity. wflw persons crave responsibllity, yet no normal adult is entirely free from them.

This afternoon a strange gentleman approached me on the street and painted the end of my nose brite red. I was naturelly curi- ous and asked him why he had done risk of being reduced to moderate means within a surprisingly short time. Of course, we think we could shift the responsibilities to the shoulders of another person, but that other person | would have to consult us at times, and | would refuse to take all the responsi- | bilities without our knowing about in- vestments and consenting to his actions. 1If our decisions were not wise, he could not be blamed or censured.

World Fashions Here BY SUE McNAMARA, Associated Press Writer. Conversing in a dozen different lan- guages, women -of many foreign coun- tries who accompanied their husbands to the International Chamber of Com- merce Congress here displayed the smartest costumes of two continents. Special emphasis was given to be- costumes for older women. The woman with gray hair was in the ascendancy, for the women were most- ly those whose husbands head big in- dustrial or commercial firms at home. While the men attended business meetings, the women were whisked from one elaborate tea table to another and on all sorts of sightseeing excursions.

The vast majority of differences be. tween and among people are purel You may know a person for years and really not know how differ- ent he is from you. This strange chological phenomenon is perhaps st explained by saying that we all try to cover up our “differences of opinion.” We all try to be like the other people of our community. | 'The herd is something really to be feared. Your personal safety depends in large measure upon keeping your- self mentally attuned with it. But now and then something happens to bring strong personal interest of yours that is threatened. It grows into a social conflict. ‘Then individual differences you never dreamed about begin to cloud your mental horizon. In fact, they may become so numerous as to throw your old safety devices into the scrap- heap of exploded human expectations. The persons you used to think were like you appear so different that they seem to belong to another species. ‘The important fact about individual differences is that they germinate and grow in the unconscious mind, which knows little or nothing about facts.

His commands were never “Lieu- tenant, go to the bridge.” With Coontz it wa: “Drake, go to the bridge” or “Smith, do this—* A few years ago, when the Navy De- partment was attempting to complle a directory of naval personnel, Coontz was sought. His memory of names was such that he was practically indispensable in that tremendous task. Evidently the admiral's ability along this line is as great now as it ever was. Certainly an incident which occurred the other day would seem to prove ir. ‘The Coontz automobile was parked in front of his home. A thief made away with some of the parts.
