TIIE TAIL OF A SIIIRT
It seems to us as if almost everybody must be pretty
near out of clothes by this time We don't see how the
necessity for new clothes can be met without having some
effect upon general business conditions We notice in the
fashion papers and on the streets that women's skirts are
getting longer and their sleeves bigger That ought to mean
a larger demand for fabrics of all kinds and that in turn
ought to mean a better demand for cotton and wool and
silk and rayon out of which to manufacture the fabrics
We don't think American women are going to dress
out of fashion very long and while it was easy enough to
cut down the long skirts and cut off the long sleeves it is
not going to be so easy to make over a short-skirted
sleeveless dress into one with full sleeves and a long skirt
We don't remember the name of the political economist
who pointed out many years ago that if he could be
Emperor of China and issue a decree that every Chinaman's
shirt tails must be three inches longer it would double
the business of the Manchester cotton mills
Whoever he was he expressed a great economic truth
1 BACK TO NATURE
A
It seems to us that one of the beneficial results of
: this long period of depression and industrial unemployment
has been to force upon large numbers of people who had
never realized it before that there is no safety or security
' -for most folks if they get too far away from the soil and
the sea
We were reminded of this by reading that the State
of New York has decided to grant fishing licenses free to
unemployed so that they may at least have the chance of
catching part of their food from the rivers and lakes bays
and ponds of the state We think it would be a good
' plan to adopt everywhere
Then we read about the various places all over the
0 country where thousands of unemployed are being encour-
: aged to pan out gold from the soil There is gold almost
everywhere in the United States Most of it doesn't run
enough gold to the ton of earth or rock to pay for the ex-
pense of setting up regular mining equipment but we un-
derstand that a good many thousand people are making 1
good wages panning out placer gold all the way from the
Pacific Coast to the Atlantic
Hundreds of communities gave help and encourage-
ment during the past summer to the unemployed who were
willing and able to work small garden patches and so help
to feed themselves and their families
All such projects are of course merely temporary ex-
pedients but out of them it is reasonable to expect that a
great many Americans who have been so brought up that
they did not know how to take care of themselves unless
they were attached to a payroll will have learned that it
is possible for a man to make a living without much equip-
ment beyond his two hands if he will stick close enough
to nature's sources of wealth and seize them for himself
instead of buying them through a chain of middlemen
A MAN COMES OUT
The day of Jesus' doubt are set down as forty in
number It is easy to imagine that lonely struggle He
had left a good trade among people who knew him and
trusted him—and for what? To become a wandering
preacher talking to folks who never heard of him? And
what was he to talk about? How with his lack of experi-
ence should he find words for his message? Where should
he begin? Who would listen? Would they listen? IIadn't
he perhaps make a mistake?
Satan says the narrative tempted him saying: "You
are hungry here are stones Make them into bread"—The
temptation of material success It was entirely unneces-
sary for him to be hungry ever He had a good trade he
knew well enough that his organizing ability was better
than Joseph's He could build up a far more successful
business and acquire comfort and wealth Why not?
Satan comes in again according to the narrative tak-
ing him up into a high mountain and showing him the
kingdoms of the world "All these can be yours if you
will only compromise" He could go to Jerusalem and
enter the priesthood that was a sure road to distinction
He could do good in that way and have the satisfaction
of success as well
Or he might enter the public service and seek politi-
cal leadership There was plenty of discontent to be cap-
italized and he knew the farmer and the laborer he was
one of them they would listen to him
For forty days and nights the incessant fight went
on but once settled it was settled forever In the calm
By Rev Charles E Dunn
SUCCESSOR TO FIRST MORTGAGE & LOAN CO AND REMUND & REMUND
of that wilderness there came the majestic conviction
which is the very soul of leadership—the faith that his
spirit was linked with the Eternal that God had sent him
into the world to do a work which no one else could do
which—if he neglected it—would never be done
Magnify this temptation scene as greatly as you will
say that God spoke more clearly to Jesus than to any
who has ever lived It is true But to every man of vision
the clear Voice speaks there is no great leadership where
there is not a mystic Nothing splendid has ever been
achieved except by those who dared believe that something
inside themselves was superior to circumstances To choose
the sure thing is treason to the soul
If this was not the meaning of the forty days in the
wilderness if Jesus did not have a real temptation which
might have ended in his going back to the bench at Naz-
areth then the forty days' struggle has no real signifi-
cance to us But the temptation was real and he con-
quered The youth who had been a carpenter stayed in the
wilderness a man came out Not the full-fledged master
who within the shadow of the cross could cry "I have
overcome the world" He had still much growth to make
much progress in vision and self-confidence But the be-
ginnings were there Men who looked upon him from
that hour felt the authority of one who has put his
spiritual house in order and knows clearly what he is
about

! thousands of miles from where h
went up He would have to go a
least sixty miles up however in-
stead of ten and even then his
balloon probably would still be
within the range of the earth's
attraction and would travel with it
It is not beyond the realm of
possibility however that travel-
lers of the future wanting to get
to the other side of the world in
a hurry may just go up a hun-
dred miles or so and let the earth
move under them at the rate of
a thousand miles an hour until the
spot they want to reach is under
them
That sounds fantastic now but
no more so than any kind of air
navigation sounded a hundred
years ago
MARCQM another achievement
Senatore Guglielmo Marconi the
inventor of wireless telegraphy
announces that he has been suc-
cessful in developing an ultra-
short radio wave which follows
the curvature of the earth
Marconi unlike some other in-
ventors has always been careful
in his public statements He
never announces that he has some-
thing until he has actually tried
and proved it and he never makes
predictions unless he knows they
are going to come true very soon
This new discovery is of im-
portance because it means that
radio communication is going to
be more reliable and less expen-
sive The shorter the radio waves
the less interference there is from
static and other causes
Marconi told me several years
ago—we have been friends for
thirty years and more—that it
would not be long before radio
reception would be perfect at all
distances and under all atmos-
pheric conditions His newest dis-
covery is a step in that direction
and probably what he had in
mind
