Somewhere in the book,“Cervantes puts this bit of philosophy in Sancho’s mouth when he was asked what he wished for. “I would do what I pleased, and doing what I ed, I should have my will, and hav- g¢ my will, I should be contented; and when one is contended, there is no mere to be desired; and when there is no more to be desired, there is an end of it.’ That expresses all the philosophy ka content- mert. | TAKE IT EASY Modern life has its complications. proceeds at a very rapid pace. With airplane and automobile annihilating dis- | ports on events, and other characteristics | | of our present day living the human body | | and mind is called upon to adjust itself to; a taster tempo than ever before. Bewilderment as problems loom up for solution, worry and anxiety over the | | success or failure of this or that project, the steady straining and grind 6f business | {in an effort to acquire more and have | every available comfort—all these things | | add to the nervous strain of the human be- | ing. Most of us should cultivate the phil- osophy of taking things easily. The high | tension of routine congressional affairs was the reason given by Dr. George Cal- ver, capitol physician in Washington, as the reason for the high death rate among congressional members. Fifteen members | have died since the Seventy-fourth Con- gress convened. “People must learn to relax,” said Dr. Calver. “The speed of life here is un- doubtedly the reason why congressmen die in office.” Probably the best antidote for the strain of life is a good sense of humor. ‘ Thefe are many humorous things in life veard you can laugh whether you win or lose;,sueceed or fail.

Gleason of Minnesota has reached the age of 97, possibly because he refuses to be rushed through life. He re- cently took a month to decide a dog license case, finally ruling that inasmuch as the dog had died in the meantime the owner need not pay the license. Commenting on the efficiency of Dutch housewives, a Hollander declares that one of them can run a spinning wheel with one foot, rock a cradle with the other, knit socks with her hands, read a book on } her knee and press a cheese on which she is sitting, all at one and the same time.

Coast Guard, former com- mander of the Saukee, has re- ceived orders transferring him to the Cutter Comanche at Galves- ton and is now en route to his new assignment. Captain Benham has been residing in Key West for the past two years and has ac-' quired a wide circle of friends who will ‘earn with interest of his new assignment. The work of building a cause- way to replace the old bridge from the engineering headquarters of- fice at Fort Taylor has been com- pleted by the Overseas company, and the causeway is now ready for service. The project is said to have been completed in record time. Austin Drew, of the con- tracting company, states the work has been accepted by the govern- ment inspectors and Lieutenant Thompson, with the necessary papers and recommendations have been forwarded to Washington for appro The work is of the! atest in ideas of construction of this type of causeway.

SPAHR Chairman, Department of Economics, New York University A reader of one of my syndicated articles, which appeared under the caption “The Price of Quackery.” has written me as follows: “You say that ‘money put directly into the hands of the unemployed as relief apparent- ly has no effect in solving the difficulty of un- employment.’ And then in your analysis of the steps taken in recov- ery you say that money paid to workers and spent in the stores ‘creates a relative in- crease in de- mand ... which tends to make prices rise.” May 1 ask why does not the money paid as relief to the unem- ployed and used to buy goods in stock not have a like effect? Would not this relief buying tend to hasten the re- duction of inventories that you say is inevitable and necessary?” These are pertinent questions. and a failure to understand the correct answer to them has led to widespread misun- derstanding of the economics of the problem. The preceding questions doubtless are due to the brevity with which | was forced to write. Now to | the answer. People do not spend their incomes to any measurable extent for the things or services which provide their incomes. Not less than 67 per cent of the total national income goes to wage earners; and wage earners spend their money. not for jobs, or the things that give them their jobs, but for ¢on- sumers goods and services. Even the employee in the grocery or clothing store spends most of his income else- where. This is also true of. farmers and even of a large proportion of in- vestors. Thus, the source of one's in- come is one thing; the things for which it is spent are something else. The expenditures of the great mass of people are for consumers’ goods and services; such expenditures as are made for investments are nearly all made by the middle and upper classes, by the rich, and by corpora- tions. In normal times probably 40 per cent of the total investments are made by corporations. The expendi- tures of all people on relief are for consumers’ goods. The source of these incomes is to be noted. A very small proportion of them, perhaps one-fifth to one- (Address questions to the au: tertainment of its kind to be given] by jocal organizations and? prosi to be of a kind which will jleave lingering memo in the minds of those who see it.

Probably four-fifths to eleven twelfths of the income spent comes from employment in the heavy or capital goods industries. from the r lated service industries, from sional services, and from On these points there data available, but ¢ i fall within the range of the authoritative estimates. In the heavy industries, which pro- vide the largest proportion of em- ployment and purchasing power most of the buying and selling among business concerns for busi purposes. Most of the products nev reach consumers, and consumers @ not spend their incomes directly for them. In this class fall. almost en tirely. office buildings. trucks, tors. locomotives. bridges. railroads. When a business recession hits s country. activity in these indus declines sharply. as does employme: in them. In the most essentia! con sumer goods industries the decline in output and in employment is relative. ly small, because people must eat and wear clothes. Truck farms and ci ing industries can supply the needs with relatively little reliance upor the heavy industries. The latter mu wait upon a slow depletion of inven tories, upon obsolescence, upon de preciation. and upon reduced cost for their opportunity to recover and to increase employment. Consume: buying is reflected back to them very little and so slowly as to be almos imperceptible in its effects. It is for these reasons that money _ spent for relief is so ineffective i Hiet Moor Moon are ese € mos aiding recovery Such money is spent for consumers’ goods and may cause arise in their prices but without ir creasing in any marked degree the demand for those goods or services that provide jobs. The rise ices in the heavy industries is due largely to other forces operating within or on these industries directiy.
