Doyle Dav,B BENEFICIAL RISK OF LIFE AND MONEY Generally speaking, when anyone mentions risks, the majority of peoplo have a tendency to think of risks In regard to money or to think of fool hardy risks which might cause the loss 0f ufe—risks such as walking across a fall on a tight rope or exceeding the speed-limit on a highway. However, on second thought, we realize that there are numerous risks of money and life that are very admirable and that often times result In something that will greatly benefit humanity. For instance, doctors who experiment with deadly germs do more for humanity than we probably realize and. Incidentally, than we appreciate. We can readily sec that risk is in volved In everything which we under take. whether we ore fully aware of it or not. Thus we should he very ap preciative of .hose who willingly un dertake a task that has very obvious risks. One of the most striking examples of risks and benefits Is shown in the lives of the Curies, the discoverers of radtUm. which is used now in the cure of cancer. Although experiments are still being made In regard to radium and though this cure has not yet been perfected, through the noble lives of the Curies and through their discoveries and experiments, it will perhaps be perfected ultimately. The Curies risked two things— money and life. The first risk came when they invested all of their money in the laboratory equipment which enabled them to conduct their experi ments. Naturally. If their experiments had failed, they would have lost every thing. They received very little for their services, as It was. The second risk, the risk of life, proved a loss. Not very long ago Madame Curie was smitten with a disease which she con tracted from exposure to the radium. Her husband, who was killed in an automobile accident, probably would have succumed to the same disease tf he had lived as long us she. This is a concrete example of the value derived from risks which may be seemingly worthless at the time they are encountered, but which luter prove to be of Invaluable worth —Martha Kate Moore. ” One-half of Mexico’s 16,000,000 popu lation is pure Indian There is an average of 7.2 auto mobiles In every 10 homes in the United States.
