safety, physical or economic, the
guiding rule of his life. Men grow
great by taking chances. Nations
prosper and increase in wealth
and power precisely in proportion
to the extent to which their people
are ready and willing to take
risks.
The word “security” is on every
body’s tongue these days, as if it
were possible for anyone to
daring achieve security for himself or for
coined Government to confer it upon
him. That notion is what the
“safety first” idea has grown into.
If it took possession of everybody,
nobody would get anywhere. To
me it seems a better way of life
to dare to take one’s own chances

I don’t know who first
"the phrase “Safety First,” but I
feel that he did the young people
cf America a disservice. Too many
cf them have grown up taking
that slogan seriously, as a sound
working principle of life.

Nobody ever achieved anything ancient tavern which has stood
of importance who made his own f° r more than a century on the
boundary line between Massa
chusetts and New York.
The old State Line House was
built beside the primitive Indian
, trail, which later became a stage
read, then the route of the east-
west railroads, because it was the
easiest pass across the Taconic
mountains. Now a four-lane con
crete motor road is going through
the pass, and the old inn has to
come down.
I can’t share the grief over the
demolition of the dilapidated
structure merely because it is old.
It has no beauty worth preserving,
and no historical significance.
Better a fine modem highway
than an old frame house that has
outlived its usefulness.
The value of ancient landmarks
lies in the traditions which they
enshrine. If those embody the
spirit of the pioneers who made
America great, then they should
be preserved. The only part of the
past that concerns us of the
present, and those who came after i
us, is the spiritual inheritance |
left by the Founding Fathers.

The most mysterious part of
this earth we live on is the part
under the surface. We know much
more about the upper air and the
depths of the sea than we do
about what is directly under our
feet.
The drillers of oil-wells have
taught the world a lot about the
structure of the earth. There are
several wells more than two miles
deep, and geologists can tell, by
studying the successive layers of
earth and stone, what will be
found at the bottom of the hole.
Before the Great War an En
glish engineer, Sir Charles Parsons,
had a project for digging a hole
several feet in diameter to a depth
of two or three miles, in the be
lief that enough heat could be
drawn from it to run the steam
boilers and heat the buildings of
a great manufacturing city. Now
a drill has actually been invented
which will cut a five-foot hole,
and somebody may try it.
TREASURE * adventure
Most of the digging men do into
the earth is in search of treasure
of some sort. Nations have gone
to war for centuries over the pos
session of land in which valuable
minerals may be found.
A few days ago a new diamond
field was opened in South Africa,
and prospectors grew rich over
night digging the stones out of
the blue clay.
Only a small fraction of the
earth has yet been fully explored
by treasure-hunters. Africa and
South America hold unlimited op
portunity for adventurous pros
pectors.
The deepest gold mine in the
world, a mile and a half deep, is
in South Africa. The owners have
lately had an American company
install an air-conditioning system
to keep the lower workings cool
enough for the miners to work in
comfort.
American copper mines produce
so much that they control th(
world price of that metal. Canad'
has almost a monoply on cobaJ
and nickel, and new Canadia
gold mines are constantly bein
discovered. One man who wer
prospecting for gold in Canac’
found radium, and made million
Only those willing to take

hunt for treasures beneath th
earth’s surface.
