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 Splits Peace Prize k t ! : 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 left by Alfred Nobel, Swedish engi neer, who invented dynamite, and are warded by a commission which meets in Oslo, Norway-. Each prize is m cash, about $43,000. Theodore 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- BAYER ASPIRIN is always SAFE BEWARE OF IMITATIONS 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."

WOAEN: watch your 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!
