FRANKCRANESAYS
According to acepted traditions,
work was a curse pronounced upon
by the deity when man was ex
pelled from the Garden of Eden.
If this is true, then it is true that
the curse of God is better than the
blessing of man.
For there can hardly be any doubt
that working for one’s bread and
butter and shelter is about the best
thing that ever happened to
Suppose all the teeming millions in
New York were idle, that they had
nothing to do but amuse themselves,
it would not be a week before the
city was burned down. It is the fact
that most of us have to put in a cer
tain number of hours a day in eai
ing our livelihood that keeps us sai
The sanest thing on earth is work.
Men who devote their time to imagin
ing, to theology, to philosophy,
other speculations are fertile soil to
all kinds of disorder. It is men who
have to work that are the flywheel
of every nation. As a rule they want
things to remain as they
And as a rule they are the bulwark
of morality. Crime news and di
vorce court scandals originate large
ly in the idle class. Chesterton
has said that when a man puts in ten
hours a day at street car driving he is
not likely to be tangled up with the
wife of some one else. .He hasn’t
time even for his own wife.
The workers are the security of
country and the best guarantee of
that country’s prosperity.
The greatest menace of militarism
is that a large body of men are kept
in comparative idleness. If the mil
lions under arms in Europe could be
disband?d and go to work it would
be the bset insurance of peace.
How many a divorce trouble would
be avoided if both man and woman
were economically independent.
It was not a bnd idea of the Jews
of old to instruct their children in
some useful trade. The best life

It is doubted that the man with the
hoe, the laborer, should be the ob

after all the man who knows how

WILL ROGERS SAYS—
k’ou can’t hardly get a man to
do anything for you these days in
politics without offering him a Cabi
net position. I been giving a migh
ty lot of thought to my Cabinet and
I find that every rich man now pic
tures himself .as another Mellon. The
rich man used to think that he would
be slumming if he‘mixed himself up
with any of those Pumpkin Seed
jobs, like a Cabinet officer, but Mel
lon stepped out and got so n
publicity that all the rest began to
think, "How long has this been going
on?”
I have made a lot of promises, but
they were only political promises, and
I have no idea of keeping any of
them. I can promise the best Cabi-
net of any of them. Henry Ford
would be my secretary of the Treas
ury, he would make us forget that
illuminum pays as well as shines,
as for General Motors
Raskob and that gang, we would cut
profit to $300.00 a car and put
them right out of businCMi Say
Ford could take our little dab of
ey, that our Treasury has, and let
him handle it a little while and he
would have ue out of the Red by
Xmas. And as for* my Secretary of
State, what’s the matter with using
Coolidge? He knows everything that
Secretary of State does and 1 be
lieve if a man could get him he’d be
worth the money.
So with Calvin and Henry in there
I g r t the neuclus of a pretty snorty
cabinet. You see I am in a position
to get the best U’ent available. I
have no Campaign Manager to take
care of. And there are no “presi
dent makers’’ in our Anti-Bunk party
that has to be rewarded. I’m self-
made.
There is some fellow named "Vox
Poppuli” or something like that, I
don’t know who he is, but I want
him for Post Master General, he
writes more letters than anybody.

to supply steam for vulcanizing rub- ‘
ber and many other uses. On thej
basis of a ton a week to each home,
the 3,200 tons of coal burned at
Goodrich during a week would sup
ply 3,200 families. At the accepted
average of 4 persons to a home, this
huge coal pile would Berve 12,800
persons in the coldest weather.
In excess of 160,000 tons of coal
were burned at the Akron Goodrich
plant last year.
But winter weather severe enough
to require a ton of coal a week lasts
only a short time. The average home
is heated during the winter months
with not more than 12 tons of coal.
The average cold weather period
during which furnaces are fired, is
seldom longer than eight months of
any year. With these conservative
ipptoximations, it is easily seen that
the huge Goodrich plant at Akron,
burns more coal during a working
day than the average American city
during the coldest weather.
An economical use of exhaust
steam applied to heating the Good
rich plant. However, -exhaust steam
is not sufficient for a factory of
more than 120 acres of floor space.
Steam is used in hundreds of de
partments for vulcanising thousands
of rubber products. Obviously, the
output of a small coal mine is re-
quired to generate steam for this
great factory.

transportation
A. GOOD automobile is built to stand
years of use. It will provide ..iany thousands
of miles of satisfactory transportation.
But only occasionally are all its years
and all its mileage used up by one owner.
Many owners turn their cars in after an aver
age use of only two to three years—long be
fore the cars’ lives have been exhausted.
This custom brings into the market
every year so-called “used” cars which rep
resent outstanding opportunities to buy un
used transportation at low cost.
Every year more and more people ap
preciate this fact. Today millions cf families
are driving care of which they are the second
or third or even fourth owners; and this
year the volume of new car sales and trade-
in transactions has created wider choices and
greater values in unused transportation
than ever before.

HREE out of five of the car „ you see
on the road have been purchased as “used”
cars. You cannot tell—nor do you ask your
self—whether the driver of any particular
car b its first owner, or its second or its third,
providing the car looks well and is running
satisfactorily.
The care which General Motors dealers
have accepted in trade vary in name, body-
style and price. Some have seen sturdy ser
vice; in others the potential mileage has
scarcely been touched. And all offer a wide
field of opportunities—
To the family wanting transportation at
lowest possible cost.
To the family wishing to own a car of s
higher price class.
To the family needing a second or third
car to meet the requirements of all its
members.
We invite you to examine the unused trans
portation in the stores of General Motors
dealers. For your convenience General Moton
