(Continued from Page 6) all the worth-while things we can, fill all our stomachs, clothe all our nakedness, house all our people and their possessions comfortably, and heap our reserve shelves high with necessities. Then we will have prosperity. We will quit worrying about PRICES and do something about VALUES. ,r :F * clarence Darrow, ."" ; ;":** men of his day and age, died the other day. The thinkers of this entire land acclaimed him as one of the great thinkers and workers of his time. He was our most famous champion of the "under dog." Once when a canvass was made to see whether an audience thought him right or wrong in a certain matter, the majority decided AGAINST Darrow. Whereon he philosophically remarked: "If the majority had been in my favor I should have known I was wrong." The ruthlessness of majorities was one of the obsessions of his life.
A very wise man onbe said: "Any fool can succeed in the midst of a business boom. It takes hard times to sift the good men from the bad ones, the strong ones from the weak ones." True. But after we get them sifted, it is hardly fair to tell the weak ones to quit working, and make the strong ones support them.
Wise men have frequently remarked of late that we are at this moment passing through one of the most dangerous and terrific stages in the history of this world. True. Maybe it would be a good time for us to remember how insignificant the world is, and therefore how unimportant these things must look had we an Infinite viewpoint from which to gaze upon them. Modern astronomy counts ,.billions of stars" in the cosmic group or galaxy to which our sun belongs. Many of these stars are a million times as big as our sun, and our sun is a million times as big as this earth. Outside of this particular galaxy to which our earth and sun belong, astronomy finds at least amillion other stellar universes, each as great as our own little famity of say thirty billion suns and solar systems. And astronomy believes that these countless solar systems are inhabited by thinking beings.Why not? So, in perspective, what does poor little Hitler amount to, anyway?
There is a Power, ." ,;;r;ce that created those tritlions of suns, and keeps them in their courses, and runs and looks after a universe so vast that no human mind can wen imagine it. If we knew one-tenth as much about that Intelligence and Its application as we should, we wouldn't have to worry about Hitler and the like. The most unemployed and under-developed power in this little world is the HUMAN MIND. Some day we will start using it properly, and the entire face of things will bc changed.

Automobile sales are off the last year's volume nearly forty per cent. When you figure that one out of about every seven people in the United States earns his living directly or indirectly fromthe automotive industry, you will understand that this falling off alone would cause a fair recession. And, with a few other industries in the same fix, you just change "rec" to "depr," and you'll get the idea of what's happened to us recentlyJepression.
Let us now speak ", 0""*r. Itn"" Aristotle was asked why everyone was so fond of beauty he replied: "That is the question of a blind man." Theophrastus called beauty "a silent fraud." Socrates the Wise called it a "short-lived tyranny." Juvenal bitterly satirizes women's faces as "bedaubed and lacquered o€r." Roman belles used chalk and paint in extravagant profusion, for Martial says: "Fabula was afraid of rain on account of the chalk on her face, and Lobella of the sun because of the cereuse with which her face was painted; and the famous Poppea, wife of Nero, made use of an unctious paint that hardened upon her face and entirely changed the original features."
And, speaking of "."rrir"J, ,rl,.rr"tty reminds us of the drug store. The modern drug store has had plenty of fun hung on it in recent years because of its rapid progress from the old timey apothecary shop. We all hear lots of drug store jokes, the best of which is the one about the druggist who cut his hand making a club sandwich, and had to drive fifty miles for iodine. Anyway, there are 58,000 retail drug stores in this country today, of which only four hundred are without drinking or eating facilities or departments. Onlyten per cent of their business is medicine and drugs. Thus does modern merchandising change the course of an industry.
