GIVING
A man met his lawyer and said:
"One of these days I shall want you
to revise my will."
The lawyer nodded encouraging
ly. "When you drew It," the man con
tinued, "I hadn't accumulated much.
Naturally I left everything to my
family. Now I am better fixed. I'd
like to provide for relatives, give
to the men who have helped me
make my money, and contribute to
charities. There's no hurry about
it, of course. In another ten years
I ought to be considerably richer.
"The amounts I can give now are
small in comparison with what I
expect to do then."
The lawyer advised him to have
the will rewritten that very day.
"If you live ten years and pros
per you can revise the. figures up
ward," he said. "But suppose some
thing should happen to you tomor
row. You would die leaving a sel
fish will."
Two very rich men have died In
recent years, leaving very selfish
wills. The great business of one of
them is already dwindling. The
men who manage it were given no
share in it; their hearts are not In
their work.
The other rich man, a bachelor,
who paid small salaries but prom
ised his younger associates that
they would be "taken care of," left
his millions to a museum. By those
who do not know the facts It was
hailed as a princely gift. It was no
gift Having trained every faculty
to get, get, get, he simply could not
give. He merely dodged the Issue
by writing in the name of a mu
seum which he had hardly even
seen.
You say, "What has this to do
with me? J am not a millionaire."
The fact that, you, an average
American, have more money today
than you used to think you'd ever
have. Are you giving any?
The muscles of the soul are like
the muscles of the body. If you
say, "Some day in the future I'll
take physical exercise," you find,
when the time comes, that you
can't. The muscles have atrophied.
"If you say, "Some day when I
have more I will begin to give," you
will never give. The habit requires
cultivation.
We are about to have new stand
ards in this country. Our day of
worshipping wealth is past. Money
no longer confers distinction; a
millionaire is no more uncommon
than an automobile, and not nearly
so uncommon as a horse.
The givers will be the heroes of
the future. And the time will come
when those who merely get will be
held up to scorn. And their chil
dren will hang their heads.

FRANK PARKER
AUTOGIRO
Before the gas engine was in
vented, before anybody had ever
believed the airplane possible,
Thomas A. Edison Invented a flying
machine which was to be lifted into
the air by a horizontal windmill
propeller, the power derived from a
series of gun-cotton explosions.
The other day Mr. Edison saw
James Ray and James Faulkner
land at Newark after a flight from
Philadelphia In a machine called
an "autogiro" which, except for the
engine, was just like the early Edi
son dream. It is entirely possible
that the autogiro, which can rise
vertically, land "on a dime" and fly
as slow as 20 miles or as fast as
115 miles an hour will be the air
plane of the future.
LONDON
The municipality of London is
still the largest city in the world,
with 7,849,000 population, compared
with New York's 1930 census figure
of 6,981,927. But in the area known
as "circled New York" the territory
included in a radius of 19 miles
from the City Hall, which takes in
part of New Jersey and of three
New York counties not included In
the city proper, there is a popula
tion about 1,400,000 greater than in
the so-called "London traffic area"
which extends nearly thirty miles
from the center of London.
Contrary to the general idea, the
average height of buildings in Lon
don is higher than in New York.
The many huge skyscrapers, rising
from 30 to 60 stories, in New York,
are counterbalanced by the tens of
thousands of buildings only three
or four stories high. London has
only two or three buildings more
than seven stories high, but very
few under five stories. The London
County Council recently refused an
application to build a new hotel ten
stories tall, and fixed nine stories
as the limit
FOOD
Food fads and faddists cost the
American farmer millions of dol
lars a year according to Henry
Stude, president of the American
Bakers association. Mr. Stude's or
ganization Is trying to get people to
go back to the habit of eating bread
not whole wheat bread or Graham
bread or any kind of "health"
bread, but just ordinary white
bread.
There is a good deal in the sug
gestion that many persons have
been frightened away from bread
by the idea that it is fattening.
The craze for slenderness is not
confined to women; men have been
taught that fat is dangerous. The
real danger is In not eating enough
nutritive food to supply the neces
sary bodily energy.
"Eat what's set before you," was
the rule for children, when I was a
boy. It is still a good rule. Most
of us can digest anything and the
wider our range of diet the more
healthy we are likely to be.
WHEAT
In every state but Georgia the
August price of corn was higher
than the price of wheat Such a
state of things occurs only once in
a long time, wheat usually being the
highest-priced grain. This year
there is a big wheat surplus and a
short corn crop.
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture and the Federal Farm Board
are advocating using the wheat sur
plus to feed livestock. It is figured
that the food value of wheat is so
much higher than that of corn, that
with corn at a dollar a bushel the
farmer can afford to pay $1.12
for wheat for feeding.
Many farmers have reported their
experience in feeding wheat in the
past, for cattle, hogs and poultry,
with uniform satisfaction. Some
say that it fattens hogs faster than
corn does.
It would be strange if wheat
should become the stock farmer's
mainstay as well as the backbone
of human diet
RAILROADS
George Gould's ambition was to
own a railroad system which would
stretch from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. He died with his ambition
unrealized. E. H. Harriman, James
J. Hill and Commodore Vanderbilt
failed in their similar efforts. The
Canadian Pacific and the Canadian
National systems run from coast to
coast in Canada, but only this year
the first system under one control
to cover the whole United States
was completed.
In 1916 the Van Sweringen Bro
thers of Cleveland wanted a right
of way for a trolley line to their
real estate development Shaker
Heights. They could get It only
by buying the decrepit Nickel Plate
railroad which they did, mostly on
credit That gave them a line from
Buffalo to Chicago and soon they
were up to their ears in the rail
road business. Now, after 14 years,
they control also the Erie, the Ches
apeake & Ohio, the Hocking Valley,
Pere Marquette, Wheeling and Lake
Erie, Chicago and Eastern Illinois
and Missouri Pacific.
Their 18,000 miles of road is the
largest railroad system in the Uni
ted States. It is capitalized at $808,
000,000 and valued at over two bil
lions. That is going a long way in 14
years.

OWER
IS ONLY THE "SEED
OF OUR ELECTRIC SERVICE
ABSOLUTELY FREE electric energy at
the power plants would be onjy a starter on
Pacific Power & Light Company's intricate
and expensive job the job of bringing de
pendable electric service to the 8,000 farm
ers and tens of thousands of city and town
dwellers served by its lines. For, despite the
fact that costly plants are required to gen
erate electric energy, the far-flung distribu
tion system, the transmission lines and the
operating expenses necessary to maintain
this dependable service constitute the major
costs in our business.
To serve Pacific Power & Light Company
rural users at rates lower than prevail in
almost any other similar section of the Uni
ted States demands also the services of a ca
pable staff of engineers and technical men,
working under the direction of seasoned ex
ecutives who have spent their lives in the
power and light industry.
Like the experienced farmer, who knows
that seed alone is not crop money in the
bank, these trained workers realize the need
for sound management as well as expensive
equipment, in developing their "seed"
electric energy into finished service. Their
ability to make a good "crop" is proved by
the fact that your district enjoys an ample
supply of electric energy at unusually low
costs. Utilize more Pacific Power & Light
Company service; it cuts farm production
costs.
FREE SEED ISN'T ALL
