Show v?' h v Arthur Brib i Make an Inventory ! Lindbergh Has an Estat Hanged Then, Saint Now Five Minutes From a Doctor ONCE every year or oftener every well managed business takes an ' Inventory. The head of the hour-.-knows what he has sold, what is over, what buyers used bsd 1vjdiufcw.'. what departments are "sienf." The last week of the year affords every young man, old mar. and woman, wo-man, an opportunity to take a personal person-al inventory. A list of successes and failures, good qualities and bad qualities, strength and weakness, writing out i?) detail of the prospects of the Individ ual's personal "business" would help many to plan wisely for the new year. A thousand businesses are managed according to careful plans. Even t& , Nation has its budget work. But nearly all of 120,000.000 Americans Ameri-cans go on haphazard, letting ch day take care of itself. Many a year henco will be just where they are today, or a little farther farth-er back, because one year older. j And they will wonder why. ! No need to wonder. The need is to ! work. St. Louis wants to erect a statue to Lindbergh. It is unnecessary, it is too soon, and who in the country cou'd make it good enough, except Mac-Monnies, Mac-Monnies, and he, for the time, ban given up sculpture. Lindbergh possesses now a monument monu-ment sufficient a picture In every American mind of a youth Bitting in a small box, with wings, leaving New York alone, crossing the ocean from i New York to Paris. When you have that kind of monument, monu-ment, you don't need anything of marble or bronze. "Time at length makes all things even." I Three hundred years ago, earnest Scotch Protestants captured John Ogilvie, a Scotch Jesuit priest, kept him many months In jail in Glasgow, then hanged him. Yesterday, In Saint Peter's, at Rome, John Ogilvie was beatified, declared and solemnly made , a saint. The great bells rang, a veil wu lifted from the portrait of the martyr-saint, martyr-saint, and his relics were exposed oa the main altar. Later the Pope himself came from ; the Vatican to venerate the saint's . relics on the altar and pray for hia j Intercession. j It is to be hoped the courngnouH ! Scotch priest, where he dwells now, ' knows of the honor conferred and i preciates it j New York's medical officer wrw-ns the world's richest, wettest city, "If you must drink in this "bootleg era do your drinking not more than five m'.i-utes m'.i-utes away from a doctor." As soon as you swallow the prewar, pre-war, or right-off-tha-ship Uquor, wink i your eye3 a few times if they seera blurred, hurry to the doctor and havo your stomach pumped out. You my be in time. J A slmplpr plan would be to tskn your little stomach pump to the party.

It also interests eugenists believe that a super-race could hs built up by proper luarriBge sclectiw. Fortunatoly they arts wrong about that.
