Craze for
Riches?
In a recent article Frank J.
Williams, N. A. N. A. columnist,
quotes a foreign banker in an ex
tended criticism cf the ways of
the American people. Among
other things the financier charges
that American labor unrest Is
"due to a craze for riches."
Almost at the same time and
in many of the same papers the
.institute or iJubiic Opinion pub-
usneu results of a nationwide poll
indicating a minimum of $30 a
wee as a decency standard of liv
ing for a familv of four, rlns a
$38 minimum for a health and
comfort standard. Meanwhile
more than half of all Americans
make less than the $30 watre It
would follow then, if one chose to
ignore facts of this sort, that ef
forts of the worker to get a lit
tle more money are a "craze for
ricnes.
But whether we approve or dis
approve, labor has in the union a
means to fight its battles. Yet la
bor is by no means the only class
suffering from the low income av
erage in this nation. Journalists,
librarians, teachers and a host of
otners are included.
Large billboards have lntelv
proclaimed "The American way is
Desi, nignest standard of living,
etc." yet over half our population
are Deiow a "decencv standard."
In short, tho the American way
be best and judging from Euro
pean events it is best, our people
poim pnaeiuiiy to an ideal that
apparently never has existed save
i . ...
in movies ana political speeches.
iney can it -tne American stand
ard of living."
Education has not Insured its
recipients, either the mediocre or
ii i i ...
me Dninant, with commensurate
income. The colleire
may starve with the letterless
ciucn digger, or the latter alone
may eat.
Prize example is the teaching
profession in which beginners may
expect from $500 to $1,000 a year
and many veterans must be con
tent with little more. Contempla
tion of the situation does little
good, it is only too familiar to
most of those concerned.
In time legislation may solve
the problem and a watchful eye
and helping hand in that direction
should not be amiss. . But until
then pride and co-operation are
about the only answers. Begin
ners must ask living wages even
tho tempted to work for experience
alone. Veterans must attempt to
attain for themselves their just
dues, meanwhile creating by word
and deed a public opinion deman
ing good teaching but also favor
ing good pay for good teachers.
Teachers in schools whose pay
is shamefully below similar in
stitutions elsewhere and not in
keeping with the financial status
of the community might try col
lective action, not unionism, but
merely a concerted effort to ob
tain what is rightfully theirs.
aii mis may be vague and hard
to force into practical application.
Even if that is accomplished the
battle will be hard and long, but
the method might do for a start.

very Traditions which lend
color and significance to the ml.

circulation to the remarks of Dr.
Angell and his colleagues, seem
definitely stronger than they did
a few years ago. The size and en
thusiasm of this year's returning
classes, not at one college but
apparently at many, offer the evi
dence. This is not wholly due to the
passing of the depression. Some
years before the crash of 1929
there were college authorities who
professed to believe that the cus

About 80 percent of a potato is
just plain water, Miss Ruth Cess

State College, asserted today, con
tradicting the theory that potatoes
are exceptionally fattening.
From a calorie standpoint, a
medium-sized potato rates equally

potatoes contain some vitamin A,
B. C and G and are a Rmirr-p nf
iron and phosphorus. The min
erals are found in the layer under

advocates cooking potatoes with
their jackets on.
Having water at a raniH hnil

will produce a better product than
if potatoes are put on the stove in
cold water. Slashing a rroKs in

Marriage for Sale
It's a racket! Capitalization on
the institution of marriage goes
on, as it has been going on since
the days of the establishing of the
custom. Tho old Gretna Green on
the Scottish border, where run
away English couples were mar
ried, has its modern parallel in
such cities as Kimball, Nebraska,
and Crown Point, Indiana, where
marriage of couples from adjoin
ing states with stricter marriage
laws has come to be a thriving
business.
Spectacular airplane, telephone,
and deep-sea marriages bring pub
licity to the married couples and
fat dividends to the household soap
or baby food company sponsors
Jewelers, florists, household util
ities companies, makers of every
known product play up variations
of the "two can live as cheaply
as one" propaganda. Justices cf
the peace and ministers come in
for their share of the loot.
Rut as in every gamble, there's
an occasional slip-up, as in the
case of the Beaver City, Nebraska,
minister, who told the prospective
husband of a certain Miss Katz
that the fee was whatever he felt
he should pay. Whereupon, the
man thought long and deeply
and handed out a quarter. In the
words of the parson, it seems that
"Katz have certainly gone down."
