One bears less and less about
he mysterious thing known as In
flation, as the days pass, and it
may be safely regarded as drop
ping into disfavor, both with the
public and with those haring the
say in snch matters. The time Is
not remotely in the past when
plen y of cheap money was look
ed upon as a cure for many if not
all of our economic ills. The de
mand for inflati^p was based on a
process of pure reasoning, but ex
perience sometimes is the most ef
fectlre means for questioning what
appears to be a bit of perfectly
sound reasoning.
The talk at a doctor’s meeting
generally is of little Interest or
profit to a layman. A notable ex
ception is found in the remark let
fall by a speaker at a convention
of the American College of Sur
geons in Chicago. "It has been
said 'hat men fear, thought as they
fear nothing else In the world.
This is one ■ way of saying they
are too lazy to ttflnk and would
rather have It. done for them by j
others, or that th*ey are unable to j
follow their thinking through to a
logical conclusion.”
According to a touching Soviet |
propaganda ratnance, a person who
did right by the state went bravely
to his death, and had his grave
marked by a red flag. It is to bo
suspected that at heart the Russ
ians are practical enough to pre
fer to be alive, with a suii of red
flannel underwear.
Colonel Lindbergh continues his
flying trip, and honor after honor
is bestowed upon him, the "latest
being a position of authority in >
that portion of the League of 'Na
t'ons which is concerned with av
iation. It Is likely that, like the
rest of us, he is not blind to honor
and preferment, yet, like the rest
of us, he would probably be will
ing to strip himself of his decora
t.ons If, at the same time, he could
strip his memory of the recollec
tion of one small grave.
According to press dispatch^,
the Nobel peace prize will not be
awarded this year. It is true that
'here is a considerable amount of
upheaval going on everywhere, and
that there la much talk about the
relative strength of navies, arma
ments and so on. It is suggested,
however, that in view of the fact
that the United States has set a
good many European minds at rest
by calling the debt question off for
the present, Europe might at least,
have conferred the Nobel peace
prize in that mythical person
known as Uncle Sam.
A newspaper notice that a three
pound nugget has been found at
AJoRiz may lead to a study of
geography, or to better type-sett
ing, but it will hardly give direc
tion to a new gold rush.
