MOTTOES
Under the glass top of the desk of
an interesting New Yorker I saw a
bit of white paper with these words:
"The dog barks, but the caravan
passes on."
Taken in connection with the
man's character and career, the
sentence Is revealing.
He has been barked at plenty,
but he has proceeded. He has done
his work, built a great enterprise,
created employment for thousands
of people. The barking long since
became -faint and very far behind.
The First National Bank of New
York is presided over by a white
whiskered gentleman of more than
eighty, named George F. Baker.
When his name gets into the news
papers it is usually because some
stock in which he is known to hold
a large and permanent interest has
advanced a hundred points in a
week and added several million dol
lars to his fortune.
A friend of mine visited the bank
on business, and came back with
this sentence:
"The vision to see them; the cour
age to buy them; the patience to
hold them."
Whether it came from Mr. Baker
or not, it is his philosophy, and the
secret of his fortune.
In Boston there 1 another old
man, perhaps the most unselfish
human being I have ever known.
His whole life has been devoted to
Bervice to the city's poor, and the
look in his eyes is a benediction. I
asked him once whether he Is wor
ried about the future. "You give
away all you earn," I said. "What
will you live on when you are too old
to work?"
For answer he pulled a slip of
paper out of his pocketbook, and
passed it over to me.
"Trust in the Lord and do good.
So shalt thou dwell In the land, and
verily thou shalt be fed."
That he said, is a promissory note
from the Owner of the Universe. On
that promise he has lived for sev
enty years, and he has confidence
that it will continue to be good.
Each of these three men has con
tinued in the world a long time, and
paid a price for experience. Each
is quite different from the others.
Yet, from their three mottoes one
might evolve something in the way
of a philosophy.
"If you are going to do anything
you must expect criticism. But it's
better to be a doer than a critic.
The doer moves; the critic stands
still, and is passed by.
"You must believe in something
in yourseir, in tne country, in
God. You must have courage to
back that belief with your money
and your life, and patience to wait
for fulfillment."
This is old stuff, you say. And I
answer that everything important
is old stuff. Love is old stuff. Build
ing a home is old stuff. Becoming a
father is old stuff.
But all old things become thrill
Ingly new as each man discovers
them for himself.
STOCKBRIME 1
TIME
We have almost reached the
point where the work of the world
can be done in half of the time that
it took twenty years ago. The short
ening of the hours of the working
day in industry has only just be
gun, according to the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor. The eight-hour day
is general in many industries, but
in some sections the ten-hour day
still prevails.
It Is the belief of those who have
studied the subject closely that a
universal seven-hour day would
give everybody work all the time,
except for a reasonable vacation
period, and would not Blow up pro
duction below the demand for fin
ished products in any line. The dif
ficulty is to get competing industrial
establishments to agree to the
change. Such difficulties are not In
superable, however. Twenty years
ago nobody would have believed
that it would be possible to get all
of the department stores In New
York to agree to close all day Sat
urday in Summer, but it has been
brought about
BUILDINGS
The newest thing In building con
struction is the "hung" building. In-
stead of a foundation as big as the
building, with posts at the four cor
ners, the building is hung from a
single steel pole set in concrete and
resting at its lower end on bedrock,
Two such "hung" buildings have
been constructed in New York. The
center pole is in the middle of the
building, and all of the steel floor
beams are suspended from it and
braced against sagging. The out
side of the building is merely a shell
of brick or terra-cotta to keep out
the weather and does not have to
support anything more than Its own
weight.
Now efforts are being made to in
troduce lighter materials for the
walls and floors of hung buildings,
including featherweight, fireproof
concrate for floors and glass for the
outer walls. Another innovation is
steam radiators only ankle-high.
One set of inventors is working
on a scheme of weaving rugs and
draperies with, electric wires con
cealed in the fabric through which
a current can be run to keep the
room warm, on the principle of the
electric heating pads, now familiar
everywhere.
FREEZING
After three or four years of ex
periment with frozen fish and meat,
one of the largest food distributing
companies is now going for frozen
fruits, vegetables and oysters. Mod
ern methods of instant freezing in
stantly check all tendency to decay,
and when the frozen product is
thawed out it is said to be exactly
as good as when fresh.
Spinach, cherries, loganberries,
red raspberries and peas are among
the foodstuffs to which the freezing
process of preservation has been
applied with success thus far, in ad
dition to practically all kinds of
meat and sea-foods.
ICE CREAM
Every person in the United States
ate three gallons of Ice-cream last
year, according to the United States
Department of Agriculture. If you
got less than that, somebody else
ate more. The consumption of ice
cream has increased one-half In
ten years.
We are shipping Ice-cream from
America now to every part of the
world. At your hotel in Cairo,
Egypt, or Bombay, or Hong Kong,
you will find a wellknown Ameri
can brand of ice-cream on the
menu. One of the greatest inven
tions in the food line is the homo
genizer used by Ice-cream manu
facturers, which enables them to
store surplus cream through the
Winter in the form of butter. But
ter will keep where pure cream
will not. It is run through the
homogenlzer, which breaks up the
fat globules, mixing them with milk,
with pura cream as the product,

which can then be flavored and
frozen.
LIGHT
A young man named Elmer Sper
ry went to Chicago fifty years ago
and began to make electric arc
lights. He built a tower on top of
the Board of Trade building and in
stalled 20 electric arcs which gave
40,000 candle-power of light. It was
the wonder of its time, but another
young man named Edison about
that time brought out incandescent
light and that soon replaced arcs
for city lighting.
Elmer Sperry kept on experiment
ing with arcs, however, and de
veloped the searchlights which are
used today by every navy in the
world and by most armies. Sperry
died a few weeks ago at the age of
70, but before his death he gave the
city of Chicago the most powerful
light ever built It is known as the
Lindbergh Beacon, and was first
used during the national air meet
in August. It stands on a tower
600 feet above Lake Michigan and
throws a light more intense, per
square inch of radiating surface,
than that of the sun. It can be
seen for 250 miles, to guide flyers
to the Chicago Airport
Who could want a better monu
ment than that?
Oregon Poultry Stock Is
Prized Highly in Japan
When they want to start a poul
try farm in Japan on an ideal ba
sis, the first move is to get founda
tion stock from Oregon judging by
a letter just received by the poultry
department at Oregon State college
from E. M. Clark, a missionary at
Kobe, Japan.
Mr. Clark wrote that he is desir
ous of starting a poultry ranch In
Japan and adds that "I am desir
ous that this shall be as nearly ideal
as possible and would like setting
eggs from the very best stock you
have at the college among your
White Leghorns."
ENDURANCE CONTESTS.
By B. R. RICHARDS, New York.
(From State Board of Health)
Within the past few weeks there
has been an epidemic of tree-sitting,
kite-flying, bicycle-riding and many
other types of endurance contests
by youngsters of both sexes. The
word "epidemic" Is used advisedly
since the desire to outsit or other
wise outdo somebody else seems to
be extremely "catching."
We can blame parents for allow
ing their children to weaken their
bodies by these Ill-advised attempts
to outstrip others but can we real
ly blame the children who have en
tered these silly, and, in many cases
harmful endurance contests. All
children are Imitators and older
people have certainly set them
enough bad examples.
Airplane and automobile endur
ance tests may perhaps be excused
on the ground that valuable infor
mation is sometimes gained. The
weakest part, of the machine gives
out first and manufacturers may
thus be able to Improve their prod
ucts, often, however, at the cost of
permanent physical Injury or death
of the pilot or driver. But little
can be said in favor of the mara
thon dance, the six-day bicycle race,
the pole-sitting exploits of "Ship
wreck Kelly", and the rocking-chair
contests of people who are certain
ly old enough to know better. Some
few may gain financial rewards, but
not enough to pay for, the physical
injury that is almost sure to result
from over-taxing some part or parts
of the body. To cite an autsanding
example Gertrude Ederle, the first
woman to swim the English Chan
nel, is reported to have lost her
hearing as a result of this exploit
There are endurance contests
however, which the participants
themselves do not seem to realize
that they have entered or that they
are doing themselves permanent In
jury. How about the business man,
who sits at his desk all day, at his
radio all evening, and still prides
himself on his ability to eat three
square meals a day. Tree-sitting,
compared to this is a harmless oc
cupation. Then there is the indi
vidual, frequently an adolescent
girl or boy, who undertakes to see
how many hours out of the twenty
four he or she can do without
sleep. The man, or the woman, who
sits behind a smoke screen all day
belongs in the same class. There
is also the patent medicine and pill
addict who trys every so-called rem
edy advertised in the newspapers,
no matter how preposterous the
claims may be. Such persons are
indulging in a contest which can
have but one result the premature
breaking down of some bodily
function.
Eefore criticising the tree-sitters
it would be well for each one to con
sider whether he is in any way run
ning a marathon with himself by
overtaxing some part of the human
system. When young boys or girls
climb into trees for an endurance
contest they may do themselves no
permanent harm so long as they
keep warm, have plenty to eat and
drink, and in general, follow com
mon hygienic rules. To be sure,
they might better do something use-
