DISASTER AND BOOM - The floods in 13 eastern states have inflicted vast damage. Destruction ot homes, factories, stores and their contents, of , railFoads and bridges and streets and sewers and Communication systems and all the complex apparatus of modern city fife, is estimated as half a billion dk>llar{ or more. And that may be only a beginning. The whole account; some business men say, might mount up to $2,000000,000. In such a reckoning there would be figured the whole economic loss, including along with property damage the indirect losses of working time of millions of people in factories, mills, stores and offices, the expense of families left without means of support, and the staggering loss represented in mil'ions of tons of fertile soil washed a.'.ay. It may be the costliest natural catastrophe in American history. Andyet it may prove to be] on the whole, a blessing in disguise. For already there is talk of the “business boom” that may grow out of these floods. Public and private money is being poured into the distressed areas by tens of millions, ■ which may soon grow to hundreds of millions. Here may be the greatest, “pump-priming” yet known in American industry. ——O SILENCE; “It is hard for us moderns to be silent and listen,” says a Lenten speaker. “We are always in a hurry. We go fast, but do not always ask ourselves in what direction we are going. We need silence not for ’ silence's sake, but for a spiritual purpose. AU saints have found it necessary to minister to their own souls in quiet." This is an ancient truth, peculiar to no particular religion. “The nurse of full-grown souls is solitude.” In these days, particularly in this country, we have very little isolation and silence. Quietness, wee then say, is desirable not merely for saints, but for people who seek real accofci- * plishment of any kind. Orientals are likely to be wiser in this respect than western folk. ‘Buddha, the “Wise One,” is always shown in a pose of contemplation. What Hindus call “yoga,” a practice of quiet meditation and concentration, is common throughout the Far East. Many a Japanese professional or business man spends an hour or so in such meditation the first thing every morning. And then occidental “go-getters” who jump out of bed, take a cold showery gulp a bit of breakfast and plufigh nobly into their day's work, wonder why those Japs get the best of them. - i . fl. , ~ A young boy up in Canada consumed eight razor blades and so far has shown no ill effects.
