Show Absurdity of Avarice Daniel Guggenheim, who has Just given $2,500,000 to advance aeronautics, aero-nautics, condemned avarice at a dinner din-ner in New York. "There's a story," he said, "that shows us how absurd avarice is. A California boy asked his father: " 'Father, can I go down to the orange grove and'pick a few oranges?" " 'Yes, son, but be all-fired careful only to pick bad ones.' " 'But suppose there ain't no bad ones, father?' " 'Then you'll have to wait till some goes bad, of course. We can't afford to eat good, sound fruit that fetches a dime apiece up in New York.' " |
