Then he has himself, or some good friend, elected " president. And that’s all there is to it, except for selecting care high-sounding name that might mean most any- ing. The secretary is the “heavy man.” He sends out the ' Yiews of the “organization” on fancy, embossed letter- He is the “committee” who goes to the news- and tries to get publicity. He is the one whose _ job is to see that the public swallows the hokum. And, too often, these modern day Barnums ARE suc- cessful. : _ But the people more and more are awakening to the hoodwinking that is going on, and are discrediting it. Survival of the Fittest HE law of the jungle is “the survival of the fittest.” et This is the process of elimination by which nature ‘kills off the weak and preserves the strong. The strong survivors breed, have strong offspring, and the race is gradually improved. The constant struggle between strong and weak strength- ens both. It especially strengthens the weak. Cornered, fighting to survive, they develop cunning and intelligence to countérbalance their weakness. Primitive man, unable to conquer savage beasts with his bare hands, invented the war club and spear. ' ‘To preserve themselves against the more ferocious beasts ‘and reptiles, primitive men had to unite—band together. So began civilization. Men have conquered the wild beasts, almost extermin- © ated them. Behold, later, nature shifting her tactics— | bringing “survival of the fittest” into action another way: ' The common enemies vanquished, men began fighting among themselves, the strong dissatisfied with a fair por- tion, greedy to acquire also the share properly belonging to the weak. ; _ Drop $100,000 in gold from an airplane, announce “find- _ ers keepers.” Let 10 men see the prize simultaneously. A fight starts. Probably end in killings unless police inter- ere. Money may or may not be the root of all evil. But greed, the desire to get more than is needed, is the root of bitter- ness and injustice in a system of economics capable of pro- viding an excess of prosperity for all. Mental Lagging NE*in every 200 persons in Great Britain is mentally deficient, the minister of health over there claims. He is an optimist. More than a majority of people in every country are below par intellectually. Some cynics who handle the pub- lie even insist that only five out of every 100 people have any ‘ntelligence at all—that the other 95 are animated almost entirely by emotiops. The success of some movies and fiction makes this theory plausible. : : Jame. Just tells you to do it. and then you will gladly go to it. he finally gets tired. It seems it’s this way with the food that’s in range on the restaurant menus each noon. You eat of one thing; then you suddenly change an the one thing seems way out of tune. ‘There's just one exception that comes to my mind and it’s ham, for In every day rations, the ham on the menus, you always will find, carries with {1 such good combinations.

The total number of motor vehicles registered in the United States is over 16,000,000. And automobiles built today are more than ever capable of economically serving both busi- ness and recreation needs. But there is an obstacle standing in the way of its maximum service to owners. For while the automobile industry made paved highways an economic necessity, the mileage of such roads is today years behind the requirements of modern traffic. Happily motorists everywhere are boosting for more and wider paved highways. And extensive experience has taught them that Concrete Highways are one of the best all-around investments they can make—an investment that pays big dividends. As one of our 16,000,000 motorists you know better than anyone else the need for more and wider Concrete Roads.
