This shows how careful we should
be to set a good example.
The French Minister of Industry
discovers that fashion can affect
a nation’s prosperity.
France
makes silks, velvets, feathers,
rules fashion. Women have been
using
little material in their
dresses, and French industries
have suffered. That is to change.
Soon American women will find
themselves wearing longer skirt«,
fashions calling for many yard* of
goods.
Secretary Hoover, in an able
speech, worries about our national
morals. “The moral and spiritual
may be submerged by our great
material success.” He did not say
whether submergence would come
from the bootleggers, hijacker*
and night club* or from high
finance.
In all ages good men have wor
ried about the general condition of
morals. One fine Roman emperor
had to discipline his own daugh
ter. But somehow the human
race manage* tc. stagger along,
gradually improving. Every new
generation, every new born baby,
is a clean page on which a new
story of progress can be written.
The Treasury Department, Bu
reau of Efficiency. Crane and
Company, currency paper man
ufacturers, and the Bureau of
•Standards combined, after long
researen. announce that the life
of a one dollar bill is only six
months.
The average citizen can testify
that in some eases the life of a
one dollar bill is less than six
minutes.
James Brand, four yea-s old, wa.i
disobedient.
His father admit*
that he had threatened to cut the
boy’s head off, hoping the threat
might frighten him into obedience.
It had not that effect. On Mon
day James Brand got an axe and,
trying to carry out his father’s
idea, cut off the head of his little
brother, aged three. He killed the
brother. Children Imitate their
parents.
