bian border. Nobody can guess how
many thousands of millions of dol
lars worth of gold are still hidden
in caves of the Andes. When Pizar
ro, the Spanish conqueror of South
America, robbed Atahualpa, the last
of the Inca Kings, he obtained en
ough solid gold to fill what he de
scribed as a very large room, but
it has always been believed that
Atahulapa managed to secrete the
larger part of his treasure.
There is little doubt that great
stores of gold are still hidden in
the land of the ancient Incas, and
it is impossible to imagine any
more exciting treasure hunt than
to search for it
Beginning January 1, 1932, the 200th year since George Washington's birth, all U.S. postage stamps up to the ten-cent variety will have Washing
ton's picture on them. Since photography was not invented until long after the death of the Father of His Country, old paintings and statues have been
used as models for these stamp pictures of Washington at different agei
TROUBLE
Last spring, when the gloom was
thickest, I used to drop In at the
end of the day to see the only op
timist In New York.
He is a big man physically, a
former college football player, a
successful executive. Two years
ago he was put through a series of
major operations. For twenty-two
months he has been strapped to a
board, flat on his back in bed.
Most men who are out of the
game so long are forgotten. Friends
visit them for the first few weks,
but the atmosphere of the sick
room grows oppressive. The ef
fort to provide artificial cheer is
too much. Gradually they cease
to come.
This man's case is different.
Whenever I called I found two or
three, visitors, important New York
men. They were full of worries.
Their businesses were bad; their
stocks had declined; they were op
pressed by fear. It was interesting
and amusing to leave them in the
parlor, talking about their prob
lems, and go up to the bedroom
where our big friend was making
the walls shake with his laughter.
"How old are you?" he asked me
one day.
When I told him he said: "You
have still some time to go before
you make the most Important dis
covery in life. I made it at the
age of forty-five, and it changed my
whole perspective.
"The discovery Is simply this
trouble is chronic. Most people get
discouraged because they proceed
on the false assumption that life Is
normally Joyous, that its problems
and difficulties are exceptional
blemishes on an otherwise delight
ful experience.
'That is not the fact Man is
born with no guarantee that hap
piness Is to be his daily portion.
Pleasure is n part of the life con
tract. Life is work and worry and
difficulty, with occasional moments
of. delight Trouble is not acute; It
is chronic.
"When you once get that Idea It
gives you a whole new outlook.
You are no longer surprised and
discouraged to find worry in the
morning mail. You expect It. You
say to your secretary: "Give me the
day's quota of grief at once; let me
wade into it first."
It was one of the bravest speech
es I had ever heard. I pass it on
for the encouragement of others.
The long period of prosperity fol
lowing the war tended to soften our
spirit and destroy our perspective.
We began to assume that things
would always be easy. We were
unaccustomed to difficulties, and
some of us have borne them none
too well.
We should all do better if we
could acquire my big friend's phil
osophy to expect less from life
and therefore enjoy more whatever
gooi luck It gives.
To regard our blessings as a gra
cious reward for whatever courage
we manage to exhibit in the face
of trouble which, as he says, is
chronic.
SALARIES
A lot of fuss has been made over
the salaries paid to executives of
the American Cotton Co-operative
Association. That one man should
draw $75,000 a year seems unfair
to little-minded people who do not
recgonize the fact that some men
have greater ability than others.
No man draws a big salary unless
he earns It.
Under a Socialist system every
body would draw the same pay, no
matter what his work. The inevit
able result would be that nobody
would do any more work than he
had to do to hold his Job, and be
fore long there would not be any
jobs.
Some day the United States, is
going to wake up to the fact that

Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia University,
shares with Jane Addams of Chicago
the Nobel Peace Prix for 1931. The
Nobel Prizes are raid from a. fund

warded by a commission which
meets in Oslo, Norway-. Each prize

Roosevelt was the last previous
American to win the Peace Prixo.
our responsible public executives
are grossly underpaid. We pay the
President of the United States $75,
000 a year, and Impose on him the
responsibility which in all other na
tions is shared by a dozen or more
men.
INHERITANCE
In the old feudal days all proper
ty belonged to the King. The King
let certain of his subjects occupy
land and accumulate property, but
when they died the property re
verted to the crown. The underly
ing theory of inheritances today is
much the same. A dead man owns
nothing, but nations and states, by
law, permit him to make a will
telling how he wants his property
distributed after he has passed
away, and In the absence of a will,
laws specify that his relations shall
have the property.
Taxes on inheritances are the
fairest of all taxes. They take noth-

ing from any living person which,
that person has earned. Except for
reasonable allowances for widows
and dependent children, there is no
sound social or economic objection
as I see it, to inheritance taxes run
ning up to a hundred percent of
the estate, on estates over a given
value.
There would be no complaint
about heavier inheritance taxes ex
cept from the heirs of the very
rich. It is not Socialism, but good
Americanism, to let every man ac
cumulate just as much as he can
earn while he lives, but to take
pains that nobody gets very much
money that he hasn't earned.
LIFE
Scientists are still searching for
the origin of life as we know It
They are agreed that all life came
originally from the sea, that our
earliest ancestors were minute
aquatic protoplasms. Now Dr. As
sar Hadding, Swedish geologist, In
a paper published by the Smith
sonian Institution of Washington,
holds that life originated by the
chemical combination of elements
In warm pools of water, when the
earth first began to cool off suf
ficiently to allow rain to condense
on its surface.
But the important thing about
life is not how it originated, but
what we do with it while we have
it I think people today are much
less concerned about where they
came from and what happens after
they have finished with life than
they ever have been and are more
Interested in getting the most out
of living.
WRITING
There would be no need for writ
ten words if everybody could draw
pictures. The picture writing of
the American Indians answered ev
ery purpose of communication. And
the written and printed language
of China and Japan is simply a
modified, conventionalized and am
plified system of drawing pictures
to represent ideas.
The trouble with picture writing
is that It gives no clue to the spok
en word. Chinese in different prov
inces speak almost totally different
languages, yet all can read the ide
ographs. In Japan the Ideograph
which stands for the name of Pre
mier Inukai can be pronounced in
four different ways, all equally cor
rect In his native city he is called
"Kogashl," but most Japanese pro
nounce his name, "Ki" or "Take
shi," while it is equally correct to
refer to him as "Tsuyoshl."

BOWELS
What should women do to keep their
bowels moving freeiy? A doctor
should know the answer. That is why
pure Syrup Pepsin is so good for
women. It just suits their delicate
organism. It is the prescription of an
old family doctor who has treated
thousands of women patients, and
who made a special study of bowel
troubles.
It is fine for children, too. They
love its taste. Let them have it every
time their tongues are coated or their
skin is sallow. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is made from fresh laxative
herbs, pure pepsin and other harm
less ingredients.
When yon've a sick headache,
can't eat, are bilious or sluggish;
and at the times when you are most
apt to be constipated, take a little of
this famous prescription (all drug
stores keep it ready in big bottles),
and you'll know why Dr. Caldwell s
Syrup Pepsin is the favorite laxative
of over a million women!
