It ia preposterous that any human
beings, outside of actual barbarism,
ahould grow up unable to read.
But teaching them to read and
write is only the first step. The next
is teaching human beings TO THINK,
which is considerably more difficult
and important
It isn't what you READ that counts.
It's what yon THINK AFTER YOU
READ that improves government and
civilisation. -
It takes a Frenchman, and an old
one, Camilla Flammarion, to tay that

JOYFUL than we are.
The Martian year is twice as long
as ours. A man there fifty yeara old
has lived 100 years, nearly. The cli
mate is better and the planet being
amaller, everything ia lighter. An
ordinary Martian could easily carry
his mother-in-law upstairs in his
arms, even if the weighed 400 pounds.
Millions of years older in their civil
ization than earth men, the Martians
are far ahead of ua in knowledge, and
that meant happiness. In fact it's
the only solid happiness.
John A. Stewart, called "Grand Old
Man of Wall Street" who knew Abra

important bank, celebrated hit 102nd
birthday last week. To us, that seems
old. A thousnad yean hence, 125 will

will die out gently like fading twilight
Mr. Stewart continues living, intel
lectually young, because he has con
tinued WORKING. Men like trees die
at the top. They are all right while
the top is green.
After a while civilized human be
ings will decide that rats and mice
don't pay, and take the trouble to get
rid of them along with the mosqui

Father Noah might well have left out

And that ia the truth, exactly. If
a red Indian tortured a white man
for twenty-four hours, that would
not excuae white men for torturing
that red man even for twenty-four
minutea. The greater the intelligence
and responsibility, the greater the
crime.

Many writers tend learned com

He kept the children of Itrael in the

Max Himoff, of Long Island City,

hia old followers die off while he
raised a new generation "who knew
nothing about Egypt and prepared
them for their task."

REGULARITY
The secret of successful saving is
regularity.
Any person who will adopt a
method of saving a regular sum at
regular intervals if only a dollar a
week, will create the habit of saving.
To save, when the habit is once
acquired is as natural as breathing,
and the final reward is financial independence.
