Proving That We Are Saving A report of the savings department of the
treasury department shows the savings of small investors in the United States amount to ap
proximately $27,000,000,000, or, accepting the
population at 108,000,000, a per capita savings of about $250 for each man, woman and child in
the United States. Of this sum, the treasury department says $21,000,000,000 is invested in government se curities and the other $6,000,000,000 is depos
ited in savings banks. The department adds
that the government securities are mainly held by small investors, who learned the lesson of
period, and took to heart its value to such an extent that they have not forgotten it. Referring to the deposits in the savings bank, the controller of currency says that the deposits during the period of depression exceeded the withdrawals. This indicates that the savers doubled their energy to lay aside money during dull times. And that's one reason, too, why
bankers and industrial leaders are so firm in their belief that prosperous times are ahead of u. ' The purchase of $174,188 of government savings certificates here since Dec. 15, 1921, is indicative of the extent to which local citizens are investing their money in these securities. Deposits in the savings banks and the building and loan associations also show a substantial increase over last year. There is no dearth of money in the United States. The extent to which citizens have laid aside money in small sums in the savings institutions and in the purchase of .government securities indicates too plainly that the people have purchasing power. This is a healthy condition, gratifying to both
the people who have saved and to the financiers who thereby are able to see that the people as a whole are appreciating the importance of saving
their money apd investing it in sound securities

The Einstein theory embodies the idea of the relativity of all motion. The hypothesis in the main is that it is impossible by physical experi
ment to measure the a.bsolute motion'
nothing out in space in the nature of a fixed set of coordinates with regard to which motion can be measured. There is no such thing as absolute motion of one body with respect to another. A detailed explanation o this ilicorv is contained in the book entitled 1'The Theory of the Relativity of Motion," by R. C. Tolman. published by the University of California Press, Berkeley, Calif. According to Bible chronology the Flood of Deluge is believed to have taken place about the year 234S B. C. Assuming the Christian era to commence with the year one (1), this would mean that the Flood occurred 234S years before. Q. What is the record for parachute jumping? S. C. R. A. Captain A. W.

Is it necessary to have okra in soup in order to call it gumbo? H. McD. A. Since gumbo is derived from a word of African origin, kingombo meaning okra, it follows that gumbo is a soup which is thickened with okra. Q. Why are there holes in cactus wood? D. M. B. ; A. Scientists do not agree upon this subject. An explanation generally accepted is that the cactus does not receive enough nourishment to support solid wood. The holes represent an economy of nature. - Q. Who said "Now twilight lets her Curtain down, and pins it with a star"? M. A. T. '. A. This is the best known couplet written by McDonald Clarke, aft American who was known as the Mad Poet because of his eccentricity and conceit. Q. What is the principle which determines the amount of rent land yields? H. M. A. Authorities regard rent as due to a preferential value. If we assume that there is always free land, that is, land which can be had free of charge,
then the utmost which will be paid for
the use of a particular piece of land
is the equivalent of the superiority of this land over such free land as may be
had.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew' Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It." "Up" OBSERVATION AND EXPERIENCE ' The best educated people are not always those who come out of a college. For education necessarily implies an important amount of control and understanding. And these are things which must come through exercise of our faculties through observation and experience. People with perfectly good eyesight are quite often blind. They do not see it is not that they cannot. The sculptor sees beauty of form and substance in every solid piece, of matter. Let him pass "a great rock and he wields in his imagination some heroic figure from its body. Let the painter pass a quiet meadow and he sees the groundwork for a masterpiece. Whereas the wi-iter of fiction hardly misses an attitude or word that is able to reveal some touch of character. And this is important what you see is able to become a part of you! For that is how we are made great. The more you see, the better becomes your vision. You learn to pick the flaws from the woven mesh of life and you see pure gold where others are able to see only the dross. The good observer is always the learner. And through learning, and the application to good ends of all we learn, we get experience. And from this experience we get our viewpoints. How important is observation, how great is experience! How far in the front ranks do all( travel who are equipped with these acquirements. Get into the habit of seeing when you look at anything. Open the doors of your imagination when you see any particular spot of beauty. Study the people about you. Think much, but say little. Use your experiences to Emooth your way. Get something of permanent value from them, be they experiences that have tried your soul or merely those which have brought happiness. But GROW from both observation and experience.

No. 341 From Si to Sven Cut out the largest of the above diagTarns and paste it on a card. Ask some one to count the number of cubes he sees. He will say either six or seven. Whichever he specifies, you state that he is wrong. Tell him to look carefully and count the cubes again. After he has looked intently at the diagram he will be unable to tell just how many he does see six or seven. The diagram forms a very deceptive optical illusion and can be viewed in two different ways, as shown by the smaller diagrams. When the pile of cubes appears as in the small diagram A, there will be six. But when looked at for a moment the cubes will shift to the position of those in B, and there will appear to oe seven.

By FREDERICK J. HASKIN' WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 8. One
legacy which the American navy blueJackets have inherited from the war
is the well-stocked ship's library. Be
fore the war the various battleships
carried collections of greasy, dog
eared, and ancient tomes which went by the name of ship's libraries.
But the work of the American Library association in the navy during
the war, aided by the American pub
lic's donations of cash and. books, gave a new indication of what' these floating libraries might be. Today no matter how drasticallv
congress may economize in appropriations of money to buy guns and armor plate, it is giving with fair liberality for the maintenance of the libraries, as the appropriation of $130,000 for books this year bears witness. Excepting the patients in th?. mill tary and naval hospitals, who manage to read about one library book a week
apiece, there was never a more appreciative group of readers than these enlisted men in the United States navy. Whether the ships are in port or out cutting the blue water, the chances are that when Jack is off duty
he is curled up in some quiet corner of the ehip reading a book.
The experience of the past four years shows that the average sailor draws from the ship library an l reads IS books a year a book and a half a month. According to the records, the average city dweller in the United States patronizes his public library to the extent of less than four books a year. Like everything else In the navy, the supply of books to the ships and the shore stations is completely and thoroughly organized. The bureau of navigation has. charge of maintaining the libraries. There is a chief librarian In Washington, and he is assisted by a more or less informal board ot
officers who serve voluntarily as readers of new books. Guided by their judgment, the chiel librarian keeps adding titles to the stock lists, once a year issuing a new catalogue from which the, ehips' librarians order their books. Stocks of all books so catalogued are kept on band in a depot in New York from which the ships are supplied. A battleship is allowed 1,100 volumes In its library, a cruiser of the tecond
class may have 725, smaller ships 575, a destroyer 150. and unclassified vessels according to the number of men on board. Equally important with the purchase of new books is the weeding out oi the old and the unread; for, after all, the test of the book in the present-day ship's library is whether the men read it. The chief librarian and his assistants are men of excellent literary taste, but they do not attempt to foist, upon the sailors their o-.n judgment of what is good. Privately, they may recoil from Harold Bell Wright an Ethel M. Dell, but they do not write their novels down upon any index expurgitorious. In the list of nearly 1,500 novels listed in the current navy catalogue, there
are five titles credited to HaroM Bell Wright and four to Ethel M. Dell. Gene Stratton Porter also has five. Sailors Do Not Read Sex Stories Once a year each ship's, librarian is permitted to "survey" one-third or

stance, whom even some professional critics find difficulty in reading, maintains a place among the "live" books with three novels, including his masterpiece, "The Egoist." Conrad is a much read favorite. Nine of his novels appear on the navy shelves. Thomas Hardy has one "Far from the Madding Crowd" but neither or the other two great moderns, Henry James and George Moore, is represented. Arnold Bennet is there with four novels, and Kipling with nearly everything he has ever written. Almost every ship in the navy has to buy a new
