AERA OS The preside at way not have any great Iuck as a@,Spertsman, but no politician ever got his right arm lamed merely by pulling in the fish. Many young people are learning salesmanship, but it will be hard to keep any money in our pockets if the salesmen become any more efficient than they are now. People who are away from Key West to spend the summer write back home that they are certainly doing it—for they find it hotter at times than it has ever been here. A man had better die poor if his hoarded wealth comes by piracy and pillage, even though it under the guise of progress and the il policy of. the age. France has agréed to pay Great Britain all out- standing debts. Now that’s fine.

Jacksonville is making it hard on drivers of one-eyed automobiles and those without tail lights.

Then t@il the members of the city council that you think they should purchase and operate an emer- gency ambulance that would be immediately avail- able at all hours of the day and night. . BACKWARD SCHOOL CHILDREN on” inne \The old way of judging the efficiency of a school was frequently to bring out some of ihe smaftest children and let them show off. Then wheh they made a fine display of learning, people thought the school was doing wonderful work. ‘The modern investigator of education would pay much less attention to these brilliant children, who: would do well in any school. He is more anxious to kaow what the school is doing for that largesumber of youngsters who can't keep up with thei’ Classes. wBbe prospects of backward children can be enorfil@usly improved, and they can usually be made useful citizens, if they have special training, A new'science of dealing with such children has been crested. It may cost a little more, but such young people will become very troublesome and expensive if they grow up without special attention, SUMMER SUNDAYS The churches are much depleted during the summer season. And yet the devil is said to be just as active during hot weather. The good causes of the community need support just the same then. It is quite as restful sitting in your comfort- able pew on Sunday morning, listening to thought- ful words and taking part in the singing of inspir- ing hymns, as it is eating dust out on the motor road, or walking or running your legs off at golf or tennis. ° Human nature seems to need an uplift and sttm- ulus of some kind at least once a week. The mind gets weary plodding along day by day on the same lines of thought. It is true that fresh air and pretty country provide inspiration, but they do not seem to lift the thought much above our faulty na- ture, and we return with about the same hopes and ideals. THE PROFIT MOTIVE The world is at the present time witnessing a very remarkable experiment, carried on to see whether communities can get along without relying on the profit motive. Over in Russia, for the past eight years, they have been operating a govern- ment on the idea that more happiness and comfort for the people could be obtained, if the desire of personal reward through private ownership and bus- iness profits could be eliminated. Those communists feel that people ought to be willing :o work purely for the good of the commun- ity and trust to the justice of the government and its agents to see that they get a fair share of the gains resulting from their toil. It may seem at first thought a fine ideal in some respects, to think that people should stop grasping after things for themselves, and just be willing to work for common good, and without re- gard for selfish gain. But the results so far have been extremely unsatisfactory, reducing the Rus- sian people to economic misery. It was noi until private enterprise and industry was allowed to have considerable scope again in that country, that their industrial conditions began to improve. The communistic ideal is defective and gross- ly unfair, in that it does not give each person the result of his own toil. Lazy and indifferent people would fare about as well as those who are toilsome and industrious and who use their brains in their effort. Any system that does that is fundamental- ly wrong, and will never endure. The system of private property has proved the only one so far that will encourage social progress, because it gives the individual what he produces himself, and thereby it encourages him to increase his production, do his work more intelligently, take on heavy responsibilities and show enterprise and courage, all which qualities benefit the community. BETTER THAN MONEY There was a dramatic scene in the office of Count Bethlen, premier of Hungary, a few days ago, when Jeremiah Smith, the American economist who has managed the finances of that country for two years with brilliant success, declined to accept $100,000 in compensation for his service. Nor would he take a high decoration, either. He pre- ferred the friendship and gratitude of those people to any gifts, and ‘he wanted the money given to the poor people of that country, as they needed it more than he did. This would be quite a different world if there were more people-in it like Mr, Smith. We need a Tot of those folks doing public work for this coun- try. Fortunately, there are a good many such who could be named, but there is room for a large add- itional number. That man will get more happiness out of the affection that those poor people over there will feel for him than $100,000 or any possible sum could give him. The way is open for such deeds in our own country. WHAT THEY SPEND FOR ADVERTISING (The Times of Cuba) An enlightening lot of carefully compiled fig- ures concerning the percentage of gross receipts spent for advertising by a number of firms doing a nation-wide business has recently been published in Ramsey’s Constructive Advertising. Sears, Roebuck & Co. spend 10 per cent of their gross for advertising. Welch's Grape Juice, Qld Dutch Cleanser and Mavis also spend 10 per ent; Evinrude Motors, 8 per cent; McCray Re- | 7 per cent; | frigerators and Champion Spark Plugs, Velvet Tobacco, 6 per cent; Betty Wales Dresses, Fatima Cigareties, Markham Air Rifles and Phono- graphs, 5 per cert. These are only a few of the concerns whose advertising appropriations run into enormous sums and everyone knows thet they do an ever increasing volume of business year after year. Yet, in spite of: such overwhelming proof of the efficacy of intelligent publicity, many local merchants still deceive themselves with the idea that they “can’t afford ‘to advertise.” No fears are expressed on the styles now pre- | vailing, lest the women folks will use up the avail- | able supplies of dress material.

Low- den of Illinois was a caller at the White House not so very: long ago. He went in through the executive offices. There always are a good many politicians parked there and Lowden knows numerous politicians. Consequently, as soon as he ap- peared in the doorway, a score or. more of those in attendance recog- nized him, jumped up and clustered around him, shaking his hand, slap- ping him on the back and saying how d'ye do to him, and it obstructed, Ar2ffic_ somewhat. the voice of somebody who was tre ing to get in but couldn't— “Who'd have thought thet Frane O.
