They worked from Ta. m. to 5 p, m. for 85 ‘cents, the regulation wage, and finished their experiment +in a single day. i scbenaee > say the Doaikal has proved noth- “ing, not even the endurance of the members. That is true. “Equality doesn't mean pulling the rich down to the level of the poor. It means raising the poor until there are no ‘Jonger any poor to raise. Equality in a democracy con- Seerns matters of opportunity and protection against pred- Satory interests. It would be a short-sighted democracy tthat used its university graduates for street cleaning. Before the world war Franz Josef, Hapsburg emperor, washed the feet of Vienna beggars, each year, as a token tof equality. But, even in its spiritual significance the Sact was a ghastly commentary upon human hypocrisy. » Not by sweeping public parks nor by washing the feet jet the poor can those in possession of the world’s goods still the discontent of the masses. The human spirit de- Smands fair play and a fair share. When fair play and a *fair share rule the world, those who contribute most to *the general welfare will get the largest return. But, the smallest return will be sufficient to provide a decent liv- *ing and an independent old age. Sume take too much trouble In making pleasure and ofhers tee much pleasure In making trouble.

Do you go klucksing and strutting ‘round in the dark of the night dressed in an abandoned -nightshirt and a tall, peaked cap, trying to feel right- -eous and very, very mysteriously important, even tho you know in your heart that you are only a big boy out on a Halloween party? If you enjoy the infantile mum- mery, keep on losing your sleep and a little money; exercise in the fresh night air is far better than raising em on a four-flush in a close, smoky room, tho, of course, iWint - factories need the trade. Really, the sound and fury, the threats and the violent © denunciations of a crowd of men returning to the mum- \mery of their adolescence seem rather foolish. long as the Ku Kus confine themselves to harmless, , weirdly ridiculous and solemnly fi initiation behind ons government that they need to be butted back imaginary terror. at them; it’s a far better cure than curses.

The First Mortgage on Record In the ruins of Nippur, Mesopotamia, scientists dig up a brick on which is engraved the record of the oldest known loan secured by collateral. Bel Nadin Shun loaned 20 bushels of dates and took a mortgage on a farm as _ security. The problem of rural finance is as old as this brick— and not much nearer solution than when the brick was buried. Basic problems remain unchanged in all cen- . turies, occasionally changing masks.
