G. Wells, British historian and nov- elist, says that in 2106 there will be no more laundries. Our local laundrymen will undoubtedly heave a sigh of relief when contemplating the time. Depression is a great teacher. Tt of- fers people the opportunity of learning that greatest of Jessons—economy, In thov- sands of cases it has afforded too much leisure time, but if that time was well spent, studying, the great army of unem- ployed will be more capable of handling their work with a greater degree of safety and efficiency. Men are masters of their own des- tiny. In youth, ample opportunity is of- fered for study of problems and equiping | | AN ECCENTRIC’S WILL By the terms of his will, Rufast Bar- low, American-born jockey, horse trainer | and bookmaker, who died in France not long ago, virtually made monkeys of the 18 employees on his farm to which he retired some 15 years before his death. Barlow had taken up the hobby of collecting costumes from the many coun- tries he visited during his racing career. Although he finally settled in France, he held the French peasants in contempt be- cause of their “close-fisted money grub- bing.” He often declared that these pea- sants would submit to any indignity for the | sake of a few dollars, To prove his point after death, he} provided in his will that his 18-farm work- ers should each have a legacy of 10,000! francs. But he also left to each of them a fancy costume which he must wear about the farm for a year before the cash would be paid over. magazine Time, the Barlow farm presents these picturesque figures: A peasant clad in a Hawaiian gras: skirt driving au ox team, another plow- ing in the gold-laced costume of a Spanish bullfighter, a gardner in the garb of a Chi- nese mandarin, a stable cleaner dressed in Scotch kilts, and so on. All are feeling foolish and are sullen, but each will prob- ably stick it out in order to get that 10,000 | francs at the end of the year. THOSE “GOOD OLD DAYS” Most of us can auiiy remember the “good old days” before the war when hob- ble skirts made walking all but impossible, when elaborate feathers dropped fetching- ly from every feminine hat, when the tur- key trot was the dance of the hour, when moving picture houses were nickelodeons. | Today we laugh at the picturesque mannerisms of 20 years ago, but there is another side of the scene that was no laughing matter. Evern Monday was a blue Monday, and women got up at dawn. Clothes had been put to soak the night be- fore. Backs were bent, knuckles bruised over scrub-boards. It was afternoon be- fore the complete washing was on the line. Small wonder then over the interest that followed the news that an_ electric washing machine had been invented! Its wooden tub sprouted a maze of belts, le- vers and gadgets, but, crude as it was, it promised welcome relief from washday drudgery. Washing machines have been improved again and again, like automo- biles, until they bear little resemblance to the earlier models. Better yet, washing machines no long- er are made for simply the families of the well-to-do. wide range of prices that there is one suit- able for every family, regardless of the home's size or circumstances. TAXATION MENACES RECOVERY It is a noteworthy fact that many ob- cervers fear that one of the greatest bar- viers to the success of the Administration’s recovery program is. taxation, Thotsands of employers want to raise wages and employ more men and women. They want to do their part in starting the march of progress again. But they can’t get money out of the air—and a constant- ly increasing percentage of their revenue “is usurped. by. the tax. collector. $ tice: It would be a bitter irony if the ef- fort of one branch of government to re- store prosperity is disrupted by another branch of government, which takes from the citizen and the business the money with which prosperity can be made. That rigid governmental economy—federal, state, county and local—is essential te our future, is a fact that looms large in the minds of millions of citizens. HARVEST CEPORTUNITY (News, val Nuys, Cal.) It’s time for gleaners of opportunity.
