June ..THE ORANGE AND BLA CK.. 1932 N ECONOMIC LIVING . . By Donald Trachte . . H l g h e r standards of living: 'L 1928 -the height of prosper- ityg 1929-the thunder began to rumble: 1930-the crash: 1931-the strug- gle through the long period of darkness began-this is the evolution of a depression. Why all this fuss about a little thing like a depression? The very word itself ls nearly meaningless. A small sunken spot ln the surface of the ground perhaps, or the morning after the night before could be used very nicely as a definition. The biggest authorities ln the world have wearled their heads over this vast and lnslgnlncant sub- ject, and when they failed, the lesser brains tried their hands with the same result. Bil- llons of dollars have been spent towards the unworthy cause: school children have writ- ten themes on the subject: lt has been the chlef topic of conversation in O. L. S, C. and W. C. T. U. meetings for the last two years: newspapers and magazines have exhausted lt: winter has gone: summer has come: acci- dents wlll happen: boys will be boys, and stlll the depression hangs over us. What has blinded people to the most slmple but enec- tive solution of all that have been presented? Why do people rack their brains for a way out of it? Perhaps it is too simple a subject and perhaps people are merely trylng to cre- ate a sensation. That ls the only satisfaction I can get out ol lt, but at last I have devised a plan which I present with all the conn- dence in the world and I know I am safe ln presenting lt inasmuch as other great minds have also failed ln this erlsis. The most significant polnt ln my plan ls the fact that one can make a living, and live comfortably, without labor. Here's how simple lt ls: FREE! Absolutely positively free-A 6- ROOM HGUSE FREE! Just for a name! Any name may win this house. Can you imagine anyone winning a beautiful new 6 -room house just for suggesting the most suitable name for lt? lneither can IJ Well, that ls just exactly what is going to happen! Sounds almost too good to be true, doesn't lt-but it is! There are no strings tied to this offer. Posltlvely nothing to sell or buy. No obliga- tlon whatsoever tif you're not sucker enough to fall for ith. Surely, you can think of a good name for such a charming house. Any combination of words may be used, such as Hearthome, Journeys Enid, Sunshine Inn, Walk Inn, Jump Inn, Kick Inn, Dr Pass Out. . . . S100 CASH EXTRA FOR. PRO . We are in a hurry to name this new house and will pay the winner 5100 cash JUST FOR PROM'P'I'NESS. See how easlb' lt is done? And now that we have 9. house wlth S100 to pay for the grass seed let's look around for some money to live from. There are all kinds of people who are just dying to get rld of their money. !t's such a bore. you know. Ah!. here lt ls 1 l already, right over on page 3 of the Four Leaf Clover Review or Mothers Ald to Indlgestlorf' Magazine, or some such publica- tion. It really doesn't matter which maga- zine you take since the same advertisement appears in each magazine only under a dif- ferent company's name. For example, The National Sa.lesmen's Training Assn., Dept. 8- 16424n28o06R2 etc.,,-- 'll?-Gin! N. S. T. A. Building, Chicago, Illinois, may be selling rusty razor blades in one magazine and giv- ing away billions of dollars in the next. But we're drlftlng away from the subject. What were we going to send for? Oh, yes! 53.000 a year or More if you want lt. Now-for a limited time only--this remarkable Pay- Raislng-Plan will be sent FREE to every am- bitious man. If you ever aspire to earn 510,- 000 a. year or IIIOYG, get these vital facts without fall. See exactly why they have led so many men into the S20,000 salary class! Wbuld you risk a 2-cent stamp against a pos- slble s30,000? Absolutely the only thlng you have to do is to mall a coupon. You need send no money: THEY TRUST YOU! Vlfhen you get your 24 cartons of perfume, or a box or Karman's Krafty, Krlsp. Kai-bon. Karmel- Koated Kandy Konfectlonery, or a mess of light buffy, greaseless, free-wheeling dough- nuts commonly known as Bobby Browns or Why some fellows pay big prices for cheap cigars. -I 12 J- Rf0bert Reds or Papa Pinks or Tommy's Tights, all that is left to do is to go out and sell them. This is the easiest part to the whole analr. People will simply be crazy to buy your goods. You won't have a blt of trouble getting rld of the stuff. All you have to do Ls to go take a nap in the sun parlor and the goods will go toddling down the street-THEY SELL Tl-IEMSELVES! That's the way you make your fortune and you don't have to do any work. Simple, lsn't lt? And remember-ln all these undertakings you must be prompt, You always get Sl,U00 cash extra just for being qulek! Now that we have a comfortable income of S500,000 a year and a beautiful 6-room house with grass seed, we have nothing more to worry about. But walt! We must entertain our friends and how are we going to do that when we can't play an organola, a jew's harp, a shoe horn. or even an ear drum? Don't worry. Some- body has been kind enough to sweat over a scheme whereby we can eliminate years of slavlsh practice. There is no need of our sit- ting over a piano day in and day out when lt's as easy to master as the A B C's. You really have no idea. All you have to do ls mall a little coupon and tell the A-B-C Com- pany that you want to learn how to play the piano and they will even send you a piano lf you want them to. You can always start with They Laughed Vlfhen I Sat Down to Play but before I was half through they were roaring. There is also an attractive little story that goes with lt. You see, after puttl.ng the climax ln headlines, they tell you how I was invited over to Jane's party and there seemed to be plenty of Instru- ments lylng around but on one to play them. That's where I makes a big hero of him- self and when the shouts of Ha ha-wow- hand me a pillow-stuff your ears-oh boy- get the fruit-shut the windows subside, I tells how he filled out a llttle coupon that brought wonderful results. The second story is much more thrilling than the first. It runs something like this: Now you don't have to know a thing about notes to start your musical career. This com- pany teaches musical notes, whole notes, half' notes, forget-me-notes, and bank notes. You never see a personal teacher mor a modest onel-You arrange your own practice periods. The X-Y-Z School of Music has taken all the bad taste out of music lessons and has made them more like a game than a study lmeanlng the music lessons and not the bad tastesl. The bad tastes are still there but lf you had changed to Gluckles, your throat would no longer be irritated, you would have ended B. O. long since, and last but not least they leave you COOL, COOL, COOL. That, my friends, is the scheme that I have laid out for the future good of the United States of America. I cannot help but feel certain that these budget-cutting devices, if adopted, will restore health, wealth, and happiness to the people. No more years of hard scraping, no more heartaches, no more lngrown toe nails-good for cuts, burns, or bruises, sore and tender skins-can be taken extemally or internally -and it's FREE, l:oj'sl Absolutely FRIED.

1932 ..THE ORANGE AND BLACK.. 1932 Q LAZINESS Q If you will not work, rewards will not be given you AVING observed people in all stations of life, we have finally come to the conclusion, much to our own consternation that the major- ity of them are lazy. Of course, the human race is nationally lazy. The ambition and desire for gain which we now possess is not inherent, but has been acquired through countless ages. In his original state in the Garden of Eden man was not required to labor, nor would he have known how had it been required of him. His greatest effort was to gather the bountiful blessings which had been provided for him. This, how- ever, was too good to last, and he found himself in a world entirely strange to him, in which he must find sustenance by laboring with his hands. The Greeks told the same story in the tale of Pandora and her box. Thus we see that from the earliest days women have been the cause of man's predicament. So man has labored down to the present day, and to all appearances, will be laboring to the end of time. Now the trend is to get as much as one can with the least effort possible. tn Many people are not fundamentally lazy. They have aspirations for greater things, but they do not wish to exert themselves to realize them. For instance, every high school student wishes to be president some day. If all were to be satisfied, we would have to increase the num- ber of presidents and vice-presidents propor- tionately, and the situation would be remedied in much the same way as Amos 'n' Andy organ- ized their Fresh Air Taxicab lncorporated, mak- ing all of their friends vice-presidents. As I said before, all boys wish to be presidents land girls First Ladiesl, but do they realize that every les- son which is unprepared takes them farther from their goal? The average student believes that if he sits back and absorbs another stu- dent's work, he is getting by prettily and is putting one over on the teacher. Perhaps he ls, but he is also putting something over on himself. Some day he will have a job requiring initiative. Then he will wish he knew what initiative is. One must not always blame the students. The teacher is often at fault. If the teacher thinks a topic is too hard for the stu- -I Q is 13 dent, the former will substitute something which will not require such strenuous exertion of the gray matter. If this were nto true, how could a student come into high school without knowing a compound from a complex sentence? This comes as a result of over-emphasis on grades rather than on actual intelligence and capacity for learning. qi Then, there is the tired business man who comes out for a round of golf after a hard day's work in his office with a fan blowing cool breezes upon him. It has actually been whis- pered that theer is a man in N-- who drives around the golf course in an Austin and then goes home very much exhausted. It is also rumored that he is not physically incapacitated. qi Let us observe the laborer at the same hour. After a day's work at some hard manual labor, he goes home and does some extra work to help pay for the fifth installment on that radio or automobile. Mind, this is no reflection on the tired business man, as it has been proved that mental work causes exhaustion more quickly than physical. It takes so many calories to nour- ish the body for one day, and so many more to nourish the brain. If the brain uses more calories than the body, it is only logical to assume that mental work exhausts a person more quickly. My authority for this statement is a member of the C. H. S. faculty. Il There are also those who use more energy to avoid work than they would expend in com- pleting the task assigned. There is a girl who fills the refrigerator full to overfiowing with a great deal of geometrical jiggling to keep from washing a' few dishes. fYes, we read Out Our Way. l One ofthe fallegedlyj superior six will spend so much time mowing a lawn that by the time he is through he has to begin all over again. Yet, this same boy will go fishing and sit an entire day as motionless as the Sphinx with never a nibble and go home well satisfied with having spent a very pleasant and profitable day. If his mother had asked him to do this he would lPlense turn to Page Eighteen! J.-
