HOW SHALL IT BE DONE?
Looking over the major problems for the year upon which we have
just entered, every person will agree that the traffic problem stands out
in importance. Every observing person realizes that something radical
must be done before many more years have passed away but the nature
of the remedy still is obscure. Municipal authorities in their individual
councils have tried to find the way out. The authorities of various muni-
cipalities have met in groups, and during the past year a national confer-
ence was held in Washington. All of the remedies suggested fall short of
a comprehensive solution.
_ The cities are becoming larger and a large part of each city’s business
persists in clustering itself upon central streets. As population grows,
business grows and the use of motor vehicles increases. It was thought
| that the saturation point in motor production would be reached several years
ago but the output of 1928 kept up at an astonishing rate and the head of
one of he largest plants predicts that the output for this year will be fully
as large. That means that there will be more motor vehicles and larger
traffic use of those that are in existence. The cost of cutting new streets
in the congested parts of large cities or providing sub-surface or overhead
traffic avenues is too great. :
There is the problem of moving traffic. There is the problem of tem-
porary parking. A person who stands upon a busy street corner in the!
rush hours, or notes the frantic efforts of drivers to find a spot where the
car can be placed during a business errand, realizes the nature of the prob-
lem that must be tackled in some definite way. How can it be done?

THE SEVERAL KIND OF PEOPLE
There are two kinds of people—“homesteaders” and adventures. One
builds schools and churches; the other discovers new continents.
The stay-at-homes are not prompted by timidity. They fight to pro-
tect their holdings. . In courage and drtermination and capacity to endure,
they may be equal to the more hardy adventurer. They remain at home
because they are domestic by nature.
The people of this class are conservative. They love the old ways. Se-
curity is worth more to them than the promise of great reward. Threat of
"change alarms and distresses them. They are content if tomorrow and all
tomorrows promise to be like today.
People of the other class dream dreams. Their eyes are forever fixed
on the green of distant hills. They have no reverence for the past—for
tradition—for established ways. Custom neither influences nor interests
them.
A restless spirit and a gnawing curiosity keep them forever tugging
at the chains of civilization. Restraint maddens them. They can be happy
only when they are free on the open road, headed for unknown lands and
‘ unplanned adventures.
2 The two types differ in their attitude toward death as they differ in
their attitude toward life. :
Their fear of death, or their indifference to it, will be affected by their
state of health, their degree of happiness, their age and their sense of re-
sponsibility; but as a rule the one class dreads death because it means
change and the other class is indifferent to it or eagerly curious about it for
the same reason.
The stay-at-home dreads death because it requires giving up his prop-
erties, his friends and the kind of life he loves. It means going to a far
. country. And yet he had rather face death than move to a far country
face life.
The adventurer, when he thinks of death at all, thinks of it as the
answer to all questions—the opening of a gateway that leads to the great-
est of all adventures. He dreads it as he would dread an operation, and
no more. The thought of ceasing to exist chills his heart; but the thought
of discovering a new world thrills him,
It is not wise to love a rented house too much. Snice life must end, it
is well to think of it as a temporary privilege.
of existence, how childish to become enamored of its play-pretties and dread
going on with the adventure.
When people migrate to a new country against their will, the world
pities them. But others migrate in quest of more abundant life and the
world admires them.
Migrate you must, when the time comes. And if you keep that fact
in mind, it may save you from the folly of loving the old place too much.

Cold Spell Is

~ (Coal Orders
—:0:—
The anthracite industry hecame in- |
creasingly busy yesterday under stim-
| wake of a cold spell that swept the |
1.0me | East, including Wyoming Valley, Roy |
upon Washington with volumes of testimony as to their fitness and their |
title to reward.
To some extent congressmen have been relieved of a'fearful*experience
by the Civil Service Law which provides for selection by examination and
retention in employment but the President has many posts to fill and the
number of applicants is unlimited. There must be some strange charm in
holding public office when a person who aspires to some such important posi-
tion as a consular office is willing to take a job as janitor rather than be left
out in the cold.

MR. MUSSOLINI COMMANDS ATTENTION
Benito Mussolini, the big boss of Italy, announces that Italy is going
to command attention for her aggressiveness—and fear of it. Mr. Mus-
solini seems to be doing his best to create a condition of aggravation that
may easily be a prelude to war. Another mad man seems rampant. Any
such man with so much power is a danger to world peace.

The diplodocus was the most gigantic animal that ever lived. It
was eighty-five feet long and weighed scores of tons. Yet despite
its tremendous bulk it had a brain the size of an English walnut.
Millions of years ago the diplodocus flourished. But when con-
ditions changed, it was unable to adapt itself to a new existence.
Other animals, less strong, but more intelligent, invaded its do-
main. And so, with the unceasing march of progress, its race
died out and vanished.
It is just as necessary today as it was in Upper Jurassic period to
keep abreast of the times. Conditions are changing under our
very eyes. New inventions, new products are constantly being
brought forward to make life easier and happier. If we do not
take advantage of them, we fall behind the procession.
Advertisements are the modern bulletins of progress. They tell
you where to find the latest and most efficient aids to human com-
fort, they knit together the great fabric of consumers with needs
to fill, and producers with good to fill them. Read the advertise-
ments. They give you the information which is essential for the
wise and economical expenditure of your money.
