To know how to wait is the great

Municipalities. .
The secret of growth which has re-
sulted in the rapid development of
many citics not as fortunately situated
as Nor-walk is that those communities
have made themselves a kind of busi-
ness capital and center or trade for the
surrounding country. From their earl-
liest days they began to reach out into
near-by territory and were always try-
ing to induce people to come in and
buy goods there.
They accomplished two
They increased their retail trade, and;
added to the group of people who
make their living in retail store. And
as people formed the habit of coming
to that city, they acquired friendships
in the town. they felt at home there.
they grew attached to it.
As time went on in many cases,
these people in the outlying country;
who iad been making such a city
their trading center. felt a desire to
change their residence. sometimes to
secure special advantages for their
children. sometimes to branch out in
some new line of business or for other
reasons. There would be a constant
drift into that town of people from
miles around who had come to look at
the city as a desirable residence place.
as the result of doing business there
on pleasant terms for many years.
That tendency to flock into encla}
ccnli-l's cxlslcd through the pcrio
when people \vcrc dependent upon
trains. trolley cars and teams for
transportation. Now that they traVcl
many more milcs by automobile, an
ambitious city can be made the busi-
Hess capital for a much larger area,
and in so doing it become: a. center
into which people drift for residence
purposes from a. much wider territory.
The Sentinel has now mentioned a
few of the forces that tend to make
cities grow. Initiative in civic and
business improvement, and high
standards of community life are the
sccrct of 'municipal advance.

Radio.
This is going to be a tough world
for criminals. when radio is fully de-
veloped along lines already plunncd.
For cxamplc. \Vusliington authori-
ties are already conic iplating the in-
stitution of a national urcau oi iden-

tiflcation and information. which
would utilize radio to help catch
criminals. Not only will the descrip-
tions of these luwhrcakcrs be flashed
to all parts of the country—and
others. too—but their roguc’s gallery
portraits and their finger prints will
also be sent 1. in the same way.
These features of radio transmission
have been developed so fast. that it
would not surprise many to hear of
their actual adoption into everyday
practice in a. year or so.
No airplane can carry of! an cscap~
ing convict faster than radio. The
radio signal, traveling with the speed
or light. encircles the world in less
than second. All that is needed for
the realization of this fact is the crec-
tion of powerful transmitting and re-
ceiving stations at important parts of
the globe. Thcn. according to radio
authorities, the whole world will he
united—in time at least—by radlo.
Speed is one of the greatest booms
humanity is receiving from radio, and
speed is what the lawbrcaker done not
want to see practised on him.
Golden Idol.
In grandpa’s day, about the best
possible compliment was: ”He’s worth
hh weight in gold." We still repeat
it occasionally.
Check this up and learn something
concerning your rcai value.
About $45.00“ worth of gold weighs
as much as the average American.
Four per cent interest on $45,000 is
81800 a. year.
so anyone earning $1800 a year is
worth his weight in gold. The man
with an income of $3600 a. year is
worth twice his weight in gold. And
so on upward——or downward.
Your earning power represents the
interest on that intangible value, your-
self.
or course. it's rather futile to try to
put an indhldual's value on a. money
basis. though most people do. The
scientist who isolates a disease germ
and learns how to check its slaughter
or human lives is worth. to humanity.
more than all the gold in existence.
So with inventors. tar-sighted organ-
izers and people who by their daily
example spread the contagion of com-
mon honesty and the brotherhood of
man.
M
Another old-time expression in
"Pure as gold." It doesn‘t mean as
much as most of us believe. Gold 100

However. it doesn't make much dif-

of gold is largely imaginary. Isn‘t
that true of all other values, barring
actual necessities?
About 45 out of every 100 pounds

United States. American gold hoard-
ings. by early spring. probably will
exceed four billion dollars.
A considerable part of this huge
amount is with us only temporarily.

and where ti belongs in any wel

caution that it would be unwise to use
any part of our gold stock which may
not be here permanently, as a basis
for expansion of credits to foreign
countries. The bankers will attend to
that while the rest or us look on in
awe. . s
Gold! Gold! It is the world-wide
lure. fromvsavagc jungle to Wall
Street. Gold is hypnotic. to the extent
that most of us would rather find a
nugget of gold than anything else. You
have this illustrated in the thrill that
comes when you find any kind of gold-
value money. even a dime. A man
finding a few coins will ' stop and
search for more, though his time may
be worth $100 an hour.

Prices.
Here‘s good news: Bradstreeet’s
agency reports that average whole-
sale prices ot the 96 leading commod- .
ities advanced less than a tenth of 1
per cent during January. Why good
news? Because, at least temporarily.
it will help put the brakes on rising
retail prices.
At the beginning of February,

strect's were only 49 per cent higher.

prices seem to be attached to some
kind of heavy weight that makes a
runaway improbable. That weight is
public willingness to pay. which in the
long run is the real price regulator.
