TN OUR large cities it is only a
X stoned throw from homes of
wealth to homes of poverty. While It
may be no disgrace to be poor, It cer-
tainly is very inconvenient. Money
has become an economic necessity tU
our complex and materialistic life.
Too much of it brings unhappiness Id
many cases; the serious absence of It,
discouragement. True, a very targe
amount of money is in circulation, bat
the amount allocated to each person
is very small and the majority do Bet
even possess that amount. When
money is easily made it is frequently
hastily and unwisely spent. Very little
of the large incomes earned during
the war were saved. Many persons
would today be glad to work for OBS-
half of what they received then. The
capacity to earn money may be a gift,
but the ability to s&ve It Is certainly
a virtue. f
The federal trade commission to-
cently completed an exhaustive stndfe?
of thrift. Among the important find-
ings of this commission are the fal-
lowing : |
Not more than two-thirds of those
engaged in gainful occupations lento
estates worth more than $5,009.
About one-third out of every fctt- ;
idred men do not possess sufficient
funds at their death to defray foaefBt,
i expenses.
About five perseas out of eveqy Mb
idred leave am wtato over $89,909.
These findings are indicative at tfl
j serioua' conditions.
First, that the large wealth of UW
country Is, jpere and more, being {Ma-
tron ed by a comparatively small gcnnp
| of persons. The second Is. that the
I real cause for the conditions glvtSg
rise to the findings of the comsgSg-
Sion is the lack of thrift. This, par-
ticularly, is an American social We-
sease.
When America learns the peril of
waste, a brighter day will dawn. That
lesson may have to be learned through
bitter experiences—but learn It, Me
must! If we refuse, the fate of other
and older civilizations than our own
awaits us.
No democracy is socially or eco-
nomically safe until waste hae been
supplanted by thrift and extravagance
by economy.

clouds were accounted by our ances-
tors as a direct emanation from the
ruler and chief of the gods. Zeus > as
the thunderer of the Greeks and under
the name of Jupiter or Jove he was
the same to the Latins.
When we consider that before Ben-
jamin Franklin’s time we knew prac-
tically as little concerning the real
nature of lightning as did Ajax when
he defied it on the Trojan field it is
not surprising that the men of old saw
in this tremendous display of force a
god-like emanation, or that a belief
should exist today in the magical qual-
ities imparted to wood which has been
visited by the thunderbolt.
It is, however, a curious example of
how knowledge and superstition may
exist side by side that an expert elec-
trician who cages, controls and meas-
ures lightning as a part of his busi-
ness will, nevertheless, pick his teeth
with a sliver of lightning struck
wood in order to stop his toothache.
