YOUTH AKD AMBITION
It is characteri«tic of youth that
everything seems important to the
young. That is natural, for everything
is new to the young—nothing like it
ever happened before. Wars and de
pressions and'hard times and debt and
grand ideas for making the world over
make a strong impression on youth
-because they are novel experiences.
One has 'often heard the ancient
proverb, “A man’s a fool ^till he’s
forty,” but not necwsarily is this true.
Youth never believes that ite elders
know anything about ite problen^s. But
after a man has reached middle age
he begins to realize that all the things
that he used to get so»excited about
were an old story to his parents. They
had been through the mill before and
knew the answers. And the answers
were nothing like what youth thought
they were.
It is, i>9rhap.s, a good thing that
youth does not know the hard knocks
that lie ahead — that most of its
dreams will never come truCjijFor un
less the young believed they qould ac
complish miracles, they netrer would
try. Ami ii is only by trying to do the
impossible that humanity gets a little
farther along with each new gener
ation.
vices, must. get. iwre dollars per unit
for his product, o'r th^taxes never can
be paid. •'
The first symptom of an inflation
ary tendency is always a gene^l
movement, on the part of far-seeing
men, to take their money out of hoard
ing, and put it into commodities. The
dollar in the bank has been steadily
declining in value. Now it is earning
only 2 or 2% per cent a year, instead
of the four or five per cent that it
used to be worth. TTie smart owner
of such dollars looks about for a place
to put them where they have a chance
to earn bigger interest, instead of
watching them shrink in idleness.
With inflation, wages for all kinds
of lal>or must go up. The last to bene
fit will be, as usual, the “white collar”
.salaried workers. The complete read
justment of incomes to balance the
increase of prices of everything men
have to buy may take a long time, but
it seems to us that we are heading for
an inflationary rise which is inevi
table. . -

The Ford V-8 is ready for normal driving
when you buy it. There is no tedious period
of brcalring-in for 500 or 1000 miles. Yon
can drive it up to 50 miles an hour the first
day. And after the first hundred miles yon'
can drive it as fast as you desire.
That means greater motoring enjoyment for*
every motorist. It is especially important to
motorists who are thinking about a new car*
fur a vacation tri^ — to physicians, salesmen
uii'd all those who use a car for business. In
stead of dragging along at slow speeds for
clays^ you can tuukc good time from the start.
The reason for this ia as important aa the
result. The Ford V-B needa no breaking-in,
because of unusual accuracy in the manufac
ture of moving parts and the amoothness of
bearing surfaces. Qearances are correct when
yon buy the car. It is not necessary to depend
dn a long wearing-in period to eliminate tight
ness and insure smooth mnning. Loiter life,
greater economy and better performance are
bound to result from such precision methods.
The Ford V-8 gives you fine-car construction,
along with fine-car performance, comfort,
safety and beauty.

INFLATION IS COMING
There is a grcat deffl of tallTin the
air about this mysterious thing called
^inflation.” Many persons think that
inflation is a menace to be averted at
all hazards. Many others look to infla
tion as the only way out of our eco
nomic trcubles. Some are sure that
we are heading for inflation without
knowing it. Others believe that the
gevemment is deliberately moving to
bring about inflation. And a good
'~inany of the folk who taik about in
flation don’t know what it means.
As we understand it,.inflation is a
condition under which prices of all
commodities go up with more than
normal rapidky. Put another way, in
flation comes about when the value of
> money
> down.
Inflation^ay occur from a variety
of causes. Most folks think of the
great inflation in Germany,' when the
government deliberately issued so
much paper money that It took a bil-
lion'^mms or mote to buy a bOefsteak.
The German paper marks had nothing
I back of them but the w<»thless credit
of * bankrupt nation. .
^ heading for that sort
^ of inflation in America, but nsany
V \ edonomtete are predict^ng.another kind
of inflation. It wHl come about
through the operation of the inexor
able laws of ecotiomica. Take the mat
ter of taxes, for example. They are oti
the increase. Hikh tsucea and low
