( t-grandfather, stance, may have had nothing to r mber except t must get to the covperage factory and be sure to take his lunch with him. Today the office worker arrives on the job and picks up the threads of hundred uncompleted tasks. His mem- ory is so taxed that can’t trust it. He has to rely mainly on memo pads and other remin The brain, grown accustomed to re! “memory reminders,” naturally gets in the habit of ‘letting the jot- ted note do the work. The real memory becomes unre- liable, weakened by disuse. However, does that matter much? What is the difference, just so we have a sys for not forgetting? HE BRAIN has an opposite function that ha been given the attention it deserves—n ability to forget. Children have this ability because they want to. Many a child is hon that he doesn’t recall having done such-and We forget the things we want to forget. Like the who dislikes repaying loans, or who “puts out of his mind” the unpleasant things of life. When nerves get on edge, this instinctive “forgettory,” the opposite of memory, asserts itself. A man tosses in bed, going over and over the details of what he did today or plans to do or say tomorrow. Considerable of the unpleasantness of life is due to in- ability to forget. But a forgettory can be cultivated, quite as much as memory can be improved. Consider how easily the average politician forgets his promises, after he’s elected. , the They forget insisting uch a taboo. Millionaires and Riches ‘© HAVE an income of $50,000 a year, one must be a millionaire or have an earning power equivalent to a million dollars invested at 5 per cent interest. Each $1,000 of income a year is the same as 5 per cent earnings on $20,000 cash. On this basis, how much are you actually “worth”? A highly valuable machine, the human body with its brain. OW many millionaires in America? An income of $50,000 a year is equivalent to being a millionaire, for the time being, at least. On the basis of the number of incomes this big or larger, reported in income taxes, the country had 18,837 millionaires in 1919 and only 16,- 031 in 1922. It’s impossible to estimate how many others have huge incomes, but manage partly to conceal them in tax returns. Cheap Airplanes MERICANS soon will be building their own airplanes at home, the same as they assemble radio sets, an aviation expert predicts. He says that in 1925 it will be possible to have a safe, practical, home-fhade flying fliv- ver for an outlay of $500. This is a fascinating prospect, even tho many will be- lieve that life insurance salesmen are backing the buy-a- plane movement. ENRY FORD is quoted as saying that small airplanes can be built cheaper than Ford autos. It would de- pend on the size of the market—quantity production. One advantage of using flying machines instead of mo- tor cars is that we would get away from the terrific tax burden of road building and et 1 resurfacing, No Excuse : HE has nine children.

That such a condition can exist in the midst of our enormous national wealth is dangerous.
