Rabson has sald something for business men to think about. “Business men should note the acceptance of @ sound truth on the part of an increasing number of employers, namely, that the consuming | power of the public depends upon decent wage levels and steady em | ployment.

The home market must be the principal dependence of business men And what ts this home market? Jt is the vast body of workingmen | and women—hand and brain workers—whone dally toll produces the! commodities which the population needs in ite daily tite, Roughly speak: | ing, it may be said that 90 per cent of the population belong to workers’ | families, Ten per cent, perhaps, live by ownership. i It follows, of course since everybody must have a house to Itve fn. some kind of clothing to wear, and must eat three meals @ day, that the 90 per cent who work with hand and brain (counting their families) must of necemsity be the great body of consumers in any nation. If these people are steadily employed at good wages, as Babson points out, they can continue to consume at a maximum and business will be “good.” If, however, drastic wage cuts and layoffs are resorted to by business men, rather than sell at a reasonable price, the consumers. with income curtailed or stopped, cannot continue to buy back the Products they have produced for the owners of industry, That means “bad” business. No nation can tong remmin prosperocun, unless the vast body of its workers are profitably employed. On Being a Gentleman What ts a gentieman? asks a newspaper of its women readers The women that a gentleman must be kind, considerate, hon-/ century B.C. the Chinese philosopher Conufuctus bis disciple, Tsu-kung: “What is a gentleman? And Confuctus replied: “A gentleman puts word tnto deed, and sorts He is broad and fale. The vulgar are biased a gentleman considers what is right; the vulenr consider will pay. A gentleman wishes to be slow to speak and quick to He helps the needy; he does not swell riches.” lied: “A gentieman considers what will pay. A gentleman wishes to slow to speak and quick to act. He helps the needy; he does not swell riches.” However, the Purttan fathers had an altogether different conception of @ gentleman. Confucius held a gentieman to be one who trusts in justice and not In favor, but the Puritans granted “gentlemen” special privileges under the law. Thus, a code of statutes enacted tn Mannachusetts tn 1641, provided as follows: “No man shall be beaten with above 40 stripes, nor shall any true gentieman, nor any man equal to a gentleman, be punished with whip ping unless hia crime be very shameful.” It appears, therefore, that being a gentierman tn Massachusetts was & condition of life, rather than of character. The Chinese definition is the better, And, by the way, how many gentlemen would still be con- sidered such, if the Confucian specifications were strictly applied. 8 Buggy vs. Auto Phe old-fashioned buccy han challenged the flivver, This good ol4/ vehicle necks to postpone the day of extinction by entering into debate| with the flivver on their respective advantages. In a discussion now golng on in a farm paper, olf folks are taking sides with the bugsy while the young ones are defending the auto. The elders speak from « wealth of sweet experience, consivting of long moontight buggy rides taken on quiet country roads in the days when their young lives were golden, or gilded, with romance. They were slow rides, old Dobbin plodding along, as if he realized that the loving pair behind him had a lot to say to each other and wished to postpone as long as possible the moment of parting. Folks could hold hands in buggies, the old-timers say, for, as they point out, it was unnecessary to hold the reina, Dobbin knowing all the dear old roads of hallowed memory. Me was @ great help to ro mance in those times. Sanctified, as it is, by tender memories, the passing bugry seems to have the better of the argument among the folks near or over 40, but some day, perhaps, the automobile will be as tenderly defended against the encroaching airplane —-—— Making ’Em Happy The three Turkey-cobbling nations make it clear in thetr agreement that they are “anxious to help Turkey develop her resources.” The re sult will be “more happiness for the Turks.” Not many centuries ago nations came to the New World, fully as anxious to help the natives develop their resources.

Suppose your baby was at the point of death for lack of food and clothing.
