CIVILIZATION BASED
ON METALS
Commenting on the manner in
which modern civilization has
been built up through intimate
knowledge of metals and their
use, the Western Journal of Fi
nance says:
“This is an age of metals.
Turn which way you will , you
cannot escape the miner’s pro
duct.
“What time is it? Look at
your watch. That tiny, wonder
ful mechanism is drawn from
many mines. Rubies, gold, sil
ver, nickel, platinum, copper,
diamonds, perhaps, or sapp
hires, steel—the watchmaker,
a master-craftsman in metals,
draws the materials from
which he works from the
shores of the Seven Seas and
the mountains of five conti
nents.
“How is business? The ticker
tells its story with little wheels
of metal. See what it is saying:
“ ‘Domestic copper, 24c a
pound; export 24 5-8.’ Copper
is going up.
“Keep watching the ticker.
Silver goes up a fraction. Lead
that humble servant of man, is
going up. Zinc, very slowly, is
going up. Day after day, week
after week for weeks and
months these prices have been
slowly rising.
“What has been the result?
Mines are paying the biggest
dividends in their history. New
mines preparing to go into pro
duction are going to begin
shipping on a superb market
for metals.
“Get in on a good mining
proposition. If you know of
some stock in a good mine now
developing in preparation for
shipping, buy it and hold onto
it.”
BLIND MEN
In the Buddist “Philosophy of
Life” you will find this sen
“There was a man born blind
and he said: ‘I do not believe
in the world of light and color,
There is no sun, no moon, nc
stars. No one has ever seen
these things.”
And all about us there are
men who say: There is nc
such thing as love. There is r.c
such thing as loyalty. There
is no such thing as unselfish
ness. There is no such thing
as virtue. All these things are
but dreams and visions.
Why do they says these
things? You think that per
haps they do not mean whal
they say. You think that they
are just talking for effect oi
to raise an argument.
The case is much sadder thar
! that. They give voice to such
1 beliefs because they are mer
who are blind. Perhaps the>
were born as blind men and
never had a decent chance tc
get their eyes open. Perhaps
they have become blind thru
habits of thought and action.
At any rate they are like the
man in the Buddist book; thej
are blind and they say there
j is no love, no loyalty, no virtue
They are to be pitied because
hey are spiritual cripples
They have never experiencec
he finer emotions of life ir
.heir own darkened lives oi
"hey have not had those emot
ions often enough and strong
enough to believe in their re
ality.
You who read this may nevei
look out of the window in th<
night. Nevertheless the stars
are very beautiful. Be sure oi
lhat.
The next time you hear a mar
or woman deny life’s beauties
Its spiritual achievements, it!
satisfactions, its deep anc
worthwhile experiences, do noi
be misled. Life is all right
Folks, for the most part, are al
so all right. But you are talk
ing to the blind; for they art
nothing less than blind.
Have a look at yourself, too
and your own emotions and
conclusions. When you are dis
couraged, when you find your
tence:
self cynical, when you doubt
the eternal verities, make sure
that you are not becoming a
blind man.
For the blind man in the story
said there were no such things
and many of us who possess
eyes are all too prone to deny
that which we cannot visual
ize. And sad, indeed are those
who have not enough of love
and loyalty and unselfishness
in their own lives to enable
them to recognize those quali
ties in others.

“You undoubtedly will be
able to obtain a considerable
amount of damages, Mrs'John

“Damages!” cried the dusky
lady.” “What Ah want wit

dun got too much damages
now. What Ah wants is re
