CANNOT DO BOTH
Some people just simply expect too much o f the common
run ol humanity. We are asked to keep the wheels of in-
uusiry turning by purchasing me thuigs that are oeing
prouuced in great quantities, and then we are told we
nave no right to complain of our condition unless we re
turn to the Simple lne and get along with the things
that satisfied our grandparents.
i f we do the former we are pretty
sure to get in a
bad shape occasionally and if we do the
latter we dis
tress those
who depend upon
manufacturing.
If
we spend our money as fast as we make it there are
sure to be times when we will be very hard up, but if we
practice strict economy we disturb industries that are
speeded up to quantity production.
We are perfectly willing to do either o f these things,
oecause it is our ambition to please,
but we can’t do

CIVILIZAZTION
Thousands of people listened to a musical program
coming over the radio on Sunday evening, December 18.
They had read that morning of 43 men trapped in the
sunken submarine S-4, but the music had diverted their
minds from the tragedy.
Then between numbers the announcer requested them
to stand by for. important news. He quoted a press dis
patch giving word from a few
surviving men buried,
under a raging sea. Communication had been establish
ed by divers pounding in code with hammers, to which
the imprisoned men responded in like manner.
In the campartment from which the response came
the taps told that six men were still alive, but that the
air was becoming foul and their plight was desperate.
Came also the pitiful plea,’’Will it be long now ?” The
divers tapped out the message that everything was be
ing done to save them. But the dispatch also told thai
heavy seas were making rescue efforts futile.
The musical program was resumed, but the notes
sounded false. Jazz melodies seemed cruelly discordant
when listners knew that brave men were dying by in
ches. And thus they died, while a thoughtless world j
whirled on.
