hoo RUV bWUt me ues~4LiJi8o '.oi m day. We have many opportun- ities. The authorities are good, at disagreeing. For example. sorte of thein dlaim we should be thr'ifty ail the time and others :say we should be good spenders ail the tinel- -Some s'ay prosperity lies in savinig. Others ma intain i;t lies in spending. Which theory is- correct? "Do we need, more saving at one time anci mère spending at an- other timie? The experts tell us there are two kinds of goods produced.- One kind is What they cati "capital goods" andý the other kind they c atil."consunie!r goods." By .the first terni, is meant factory buildings, lathes. drill p resses and. so on -thingilS made. to be used in in'aking. other things. B.y the, second terni i meant things likc clothes, food, cigars, good or l)ad, that are miade to be wornl or eaten or otherwise c-Cql7 sumed by the public. The -more ,we save. the fforf: capital, goods we cati 'get. and the miore of these goods me have the more constumers" goods we cati make. The more of these goods we cani ake, the more we have to spend ini order to get them to uise ' Up. If we don't buy consumers' goods ,i greater quantitiesail the tinie, we can't make use of ail our capi- tal goods. They stand idie and mnen are out of 'work and there is less inonev for spenidinlg.. Ou the other, hand.. the mnore we spetid the less we cati save and t he less new, capital goods. we cati have. What to do? M.Nore 'saving? M ore spending? Tbinking on our own book *we. would say: the thing to go after ail the tite is better teaniwork .between savinig and sPniuing-~and vou save when lazy days outwitting the. heat. To start with a very cool book, there is "By Dog Sled for Byrd," by john S. OUBrien, who knows whereof lie speaks, since he drove Byrd's dog teams-those staunch friends witbout wbom Anltarctic exploration would be' nearly impossible. The book is illustrated with photograpbs of- men and dogs standing and* lying about ini the snow, which may have a psy-ý chological effect on the warmest' of readers.ý And vwhile down at the South pole., take a dip into Ross'. "South of Zero," the diary of a member of the Clark- Janîison Antarctic expedition. writ-. tell witliîa gusto and enthusiasm that even Antarctic breezes were flot able. to subdue. Otie of the rnost peaceful of sum- tuer books, imaginable is Sarah Orne iewett's "The, Country of Pointed Firs"ý-sketches. anecdotes and char- acter studies of some of the maritime villages on the eastern, coast of Maine. Summers in this country are philosophical and unhurried, and one bias tume not onty to beconie ac- quainted with bimself, but also with bis neigbbors and their neighbors. Toewho feel that the only cool air in July is to be found above the clouds wiii take to uFlying and-Howl toý Doý It ;" ifs, diagranis make one wonder why anyone stàys, oni the dul ground wben there is *the fascinating air to be 'conquered': and the black atîd white pen ýsketches explaiiinmg the diagramis will cause a chuckte or two. Finally, thèré are' those who turui to poetry for the cure of ail juis, hçat inctuded; they are on the right road if they cati acquire a copy of the "Junior Poetry Cure." which. of course does not cure one ofý the. poetry habit,' but offers r.hymed cuétres for aches of al kinds; as it says, it i afirst ýaid kit- of verse. for the young of al' ages," and its prescrip- tions, include ."Sportsmanship -Ton- ics," "Bracers and Pick-Me Ups" (poemnsof humor) "Massage to soften Hard 'Hearts" and. "Sunbaths to Fade the Blues." An these days of slogans, let us ýadd ours to your collectioni, "Read anid Keep Cool." Ail of the books mentioned in this airticle 'are available at the Wilniette Public library. *.s d/ a apdintcd .Aiip iipon a paint cd occant.".
