Depression is a time of excessive and unwish@d-for:repose, when factories work half-titig, when business men go to Greece or to jail or kill themselves, and workmen tramp the streets striving to rid themselves of the blessings of leisure. The writer has a pair of silk sox he boughft-in Paris in 1900 and are now 32 years old and still serviceable. He thought that wa a unique record, but Ripley ac- counts for a pair of sox that have been wworn fay 92 years, being made in 1840, and are still-worn by J. A. Greber, of Houston, Texas, he avers. Believe it or not. The “School Nice in the Key West Sunday-Star is the best that comes to us in our exchanges. It’s somewhat sexy, but that gives it reader inuterest. We don’t know who writes the stuff or if the staff is composed of more than one, but we have a sneaking suspicion that the editor of The Star, Samuel E. Harris, is the personifica- tion of the various noms de plume. Approval of a $75,000,000 loan to the New York Port Authority by the Recon- struction Finance Corporation for the con- struction of a vehicular tunnel under the Hudson River will soon be forthcoming, it has beea stated at the corporation head- quarters. The western end of the country got $62,000,000 and now the eastern draws down $75,000,000. Key West, the southern end, awaits its portion with bated breath, Mp ASSOCIATION | ER 1932) PREMATURE HALLOWE’EN seem to be going out against premature celebrations of Hallowe’en. From the | standpoint of irrepressible youth this may we» | seem like tyrannical oppression. But tyran- nical or otherwise, something of the sort | seems necessary. But is youth entirely responsible for | the early celebration of this autumn fes- ; tival of witchery and mystery? What can a healthy youth think when it sees windows j aglow with masks, ialse faces, costumes, table decorations and other objects sugges- i tive of the Hallowe’en season? It would be an odd boy indeed who with such stim- ulation did not begin to think of tick-tacks, chalked windows, corn-throwing and the more reckless phases of the celebration. Of course this nation cannot become so paternalistic as to forbid the display of a merchant’s goods and it cannot very ef- fectiveiy control the thinking of youth and so about all it can do is what it is doing, promise dire punishment for the lads and lassies who begin their Hallowe’en cele- brations too far in advance of the day set for that purpose. What, of course, is not clear to older minds is what fun the youngsters get out of a half-month’s celebration of Hallowe’en. From recollections of childhood the old folks can readily understand how to pack a lot of fun into a night or two of revelry, but the idea of thinning it out over a week or more has little appeal for the elders, though apparently the young folks see it differently. WHEN TO STOP ADVERTISING (Gazette, Lexington, Virginia) When every man has become so thoroughly a creature of habit that he will certainly buy this year where he bought last year. When younger, and _ fresher and spunkier concerns in your line cease start- ing up and using the newspapers in telling the people how much better they can do for them than you can. When nobody else thinks “it pays to advertise.” When population ceases to multiply and the generations that crowd on after you, and never heard of you, come on. When you have convinced everybody, whose life will touch yours, that you have better goods and lower prices than they can ever get anywhere outside of your store. When you perceive it to be the rule that men who never do and never did ad- vertise are outstripping their neighbors in the same line of business. When men stop making fortunes right in your sight, solely through the discreet use of this mighty agent. When you can forget the words of the shrewdest and most successful business men concerning the main cause of their pros- perity. When you would rather have your own way and fail than take advice and win. When you want to go out of business with a stock on hand. When you want to get rid of the trouble of waiting on customers. WAGES OF CRIME Does crime pay? Available figures say it does not. Criminals must think it does or there wouldn’t be so many of them and so few who reform. The probability is that crime pays large dividends as long as the criminal is out of jail, but doesn’t pay even a “preacher’s salary” when the Jawbreaker runs afoul of the law. It is known with certainty that crime does not pay for the time the criminal spends behind the bars. d The point with which the public is concerned is that no figures, however con- clusive of the economic failure of convicts, will have much effect on the activities of the criminal. If there is one thing that is impossibly it is to argue an underworld chaseabert or even a potential criminal, in- to obedience to law. The crook is by nature a gambler, and he is willing to take chances of making good his escape after a robbery. He recognizes that he will be a loser if caught and convicted, but it is the large chance he has of escaping with no punishment that helps make crime pre- valent. Law enforcement officers point to the fact that certainty of punishment of the big profiteers in the criminal game is what is most needed in the United States.
