The World's Richest Man Found It Didn't Pay!
By ROBERT RIPLEY
Ashurbanipal of Assyria, the richest man who ever lived, was
Worth a trillion and a half dollars 75 times as much gold as is held
in the United States Treasury. Yet it availed him (nothing! Neither
he nor his son had the sense to use this wealth for the good ot
their people or for their projection. . ' , v
And so it was compartively easy for Nabopolassar and the King
of the Medes to invade Assyria and enslave it. And finally, when
defeat stared the great King, in the facewhen it was too late
shrbanipal, in terror, had a tremendous platform built of pol
ished wood, in the city of Nineveh, and on top of thus he heaped
all of his wealth 142,000 tons of gold in 2,500,000 bricks (or ingots),
each brick 7 by 28 inches in size, and each brick valued at 50,000
dollars. This treasure formed a pyramid of shining gold nearly
one hundred feet high, and in the intervening spaces he placed an
of his jewels and personal belongings his wives on golden beds
his children even his pet dog. vr...i .nA
And then a great quantity of oil was brought from Mosul and
poured on top of this golden mass, and when the torch was applied,
. the King himself walked in and laid himself down among his wives
-his family-his pet dog-and everything he valued in life. And
so the great Ashurbanipal, the richest man m the world, was con
sumed in his own wealth-he immolated himself and became part
of this great conglomerated melted mass of money and so end
ed the Empire of the Assyrians. And it never rose again. ..
J was in Ninevah a few years ago. Only a few mounds marked
the spot that was the glory of Ashurbanipal.
Why ? ,
Because AshurbarapaJ, who had practically all the money in the
-world, didn't do anything with it! And he and his country were
-V.Even his conquerors-the xMedes and the Persians-made this
same mistake-they came, saw, conquered, and confiscated this great
golden, molten mass of money that was once the king s and the
wealth of the great Empire of Assyna-what did they do with it.
They "melted it into money again and remelted it and in gen
eratians since it has been remelted a thousand times-un.tl, Believe
It or Not, it is a mathematical fact that every golden com used
in the world today contains in it some minute particle of Ashurban
ipal himself, the King who had all the money in the world, but
didn't know what to do with it! . .
What are we going to do with OUR money today ? Enemies
threaten us the same as they threatened Ashurbanipal in 626 B.C.
The United States of today, like the Assyria of Ashurbanipal, is
the richest nation in the world. What will it avail us?
Surelnothing more than it did Ashurbanipal unless we do
something wiih it. And there is only one thing to do-and that is
to BUY BONDS and WAR STAMPS and make our money di
rectly available to our country-help our country-otherwise it will
beconie a melted molten mass and we the people w.ll be destroyed
as Ashurbanipal was destroyed

Two. Ways Open
To Join Navy
Young men enlisting in the
Navy at the present time may
go in either as a member ot tne
regular Navy or the United States
Naval Reserve.
Enlistments in the Navy are for
a period of six years, while in
the Naval Reserve the period of
enlistment may cover two, three
or four years. Reservists who
do not wish to remain in the
Navy will be released as soon
after the war is over as possible
so that they may return to their
regular jobs.
In the reserves the pay, train
ing and chance for advancement
is the same as in the regular
Navy. The outstanding advan
tage of enlisting as a member of
the reserve is that the type of
Work desired may be chosen by
the recruit before the actual en
listment, provided, of course, he
is qualified.
Here Are Requirement
Here are the requirements for
both branches of the service:
Age In the regular Navy, 17
to 31. In the Naval Reserve, 17
to 50. Recruits under 21 must
have the written consent of their
parents.
Citizenship Native-born Ameri
can. If not native-horn, the re
cruit or his parents must have
naturalization papers. Proof of
citizenship must be shown in
writing.
Height Recruits must be at
least 5 feet and 2 inches in height
with weight in proportion.
Eyes Eyesight requirements
have been modified to permit en
listment of men having a com
bined vision of 15-20 and not less
than 6-20 in the worst eye.
Physical A physicial examina
tion showing the applicant is in
sound health must be passed. Re
quirements are less strict in the
Reserve than in the regular
Navy.
Education There are no speci
fic education requirements. A
simple mental test to determine
the applicant's ability to read,
write and think clearly is given.
Character The Navy wants
men of good character, and two
references are required.
Marriage In the regular Navy
only unmarried men with no de
pendents are accepted. In the
Naval Reserve, married men with
dependents are accepted but they
must be able to support their de
pendents. Aquone
