MONEY.a definition I think we are going to come out of our economic troubles with a j much more general understanding of j the unimportance of money, than | most of us had before. Millions of people have learned how to get along with substitutes for money. A lot of them have learned that money is not wealth, but is. merely a symbol of wealth. Real wealth is commodities that can be used, and nothing else. 1 The best definition of money I 1 have ever seen was written by a ! German economist, Paul Helfferich. He said: “Money is a medium for storing commodity values and conveying them through time and space.” SCRIP.just as good Any money is good money which everybody is willing to accept as such. Practically the whole nation has gone on a scrip basis, and until we try to spend some of it outside of the United States it is just as good as gold. The only thing that makes gold the best money is that it is the one substance which everybody in the world accepts at the same value. But when everybody in Hopfrog Corners accepts the local scrip at its face value, the scrip is just as good money as gold money. Neither scrip nor gold is wealth: both are merely yardsticks with which to measure wealth. PRESIDENTS.31 or 32? Franklin D. Roosevelt is either the thirty-first or the thirty-second President of the United States, ac cording to which way you count. I notice that Publishers Autocaster Service referred to him last week as the thirty-first President. It is perfectly true that he is the thirty-first person to hold that of fice, but one of his predecessors, Mr. Cleveland, was elected two different times, with a four-year interval be tween his two terms. So if you count the number of Presidential administrations M r . Roosevelt is the thirty-second. Not that it makes much difference. CHINA .... being united I dined the other day in New York with a gentleman who has been engaged in business in China for several years. He gave me a new picture of the condition of the Chinese people. China today is actually prosper ous. Its industries are booming and, except in some of the remote districts, there is something like real prosperity, judged by Chinese stand ards. The most interesting thing my friend said, however, was that the Chinese people are more nearly uni fied today as a nation than they have ever been. The Japanese ag gression in Manchuria has stimu lated Chinese patriotism. My friend expressed the opinion that China would make a very effective re sistance to Japan; that it might take years, but eventually China, includ ing Manchuria, will be controlled by the Chinese. PERKINS .... in New York Frances Perkins, the first woman member of the Cabinet, is in private life Mrs. Paul Wilson. Her hus band is a statistician. They have a daughter, Suzanna, who is now about sixteen years old. So sharp a line does Miss Perkins draw between her public life and her private life that it was not until her name was announced as Secre tary of Labor that most of the news paper men in Albany, where she was head of the New York Labor Bu reau, even knew she was married. Since the laws of New York do not require a married woman to take her husband’s name unless she feels like it; she is still legally Frances Perkins, although in the district of Columbia she may have to sign the Federal payroll as Mrs. Paul Wilson. HOOVER.the man I am. very fond of Mr. Hoover. So is everybody who really gets ac quainted with him. In his private and personal capacity as a man he is genial, humorous, considerate and not in the slightest degree “high hat.” I don’t know what Mr. Hoover will do next, but I am satisfied that it will be something in the nature of public service. He has no money ambitions. He made a great deal of money as a mining engineer. He spent some millions of his personal fortune in his Belgium relief work and at that time, 1914, deliberately put an end to his business career and told his friends that he intended to devote the rest of his life to serv ing his country, whch he did as Food Administrator, Secretary of Commerce and President. Mr. Hoover deals with facts on a large scale with greater ability than any man I have ever known. I think he is permanently out of politics, i but I believe he will be a great fig ure in public affairs in some other way as long as he lives. Cherry Blossom Days Miss Doris Copenharve of Covina, California was attracted by the beauty of cherry blossoms as was the photographer who snapped this photo and it all typifies Spring . . . low broadcast throqghont the nation. Another Ruth Smile Most certainly Miss Julia Both, step-daughter of Babe Both, is happy. Daddy has signed a $52,000 contract for playing baseball another year . . . and Juba, well she beaott fled for New Tork state in St. Peters burg annual festival. ®SOCl ETY.. Woman’s Missionary Society Met With Mrs. Miles The Woman’s Missionary Society of the Baptist church held their March meeting with Mrs. C. A. Miles. In the absence of the leader, the discussion was led by Mrs. Under wood. The delegates who attended the State Convention at Winston-Salem made interesting reports. They were Mrs. Crutchfield, Mrs. Guy Duncan. Mrs. Lina Wagoner and Mr. and Mrs. Underwood. After ai) interesting program, deli cious refreshments were served by the hostess. Miss Lambert and Mrs. Thompson Entertain Bridge Club On Wednesday evening from eight until eleven o’clock the Sparta Bridge club was delightfully enter tained by Miss Elizabeth Lambert and Mrs. C. A. Thompson at the home of the latter. The club, which is composed of ladies of the town, in vited gentlemen for the occasion. The room was decorated with Eastern and spring flowers in a very pretty and attractive manner. Sug gestions of the Easter time were evident in -the decorations and the tally cards, which bore a sketch of an Easter Bunny in his basket. Contract was played at four ta bles. High score was awarded Mrs. James E. Doughton and Miss Susie Thomas. While playing at the first table this couple made the unusual score of three thousand points in the playing of one hand. The prizes were distinctly beautiful sets of playing cards which were highly de served by the winners. At the end of the playing, a deli cious salad course was served. The occasion was one of the many de lightful and finely-appointed social affairs of the season.
