COFFER SITUATION
Judged by what is taking place in the copper industry |
there is little hope for a marked revival in mining of that j
metal, unless the deposit contains associated metals with
copper of lesser importance. The completion of the Ben
guela to Katanga railroad, Africa, offering an outlet for
large production from the South African copper mines,
promises a battle to defeat American supremacy.
Last year these mines produced eight per cent of the
copper of the world. A new Rhodesian mine is just com
ing into production. Kaffir labor gives Sir Robert Wil
liams, who dominates the Rhodesian field, the edge over
Arizona, Montana, Nevada, Utah and Alaska.
THE FINISHING CANTER
Sometime ago Supreme Court Justice Holmes enjoyed
his 90th birthday. Many tributes were paid this eminent
jurist on that day and in reply Justice Holmes spoke a j
few words over the radio which reported the proceedings. |
Knowing that his life was drawing to a close this able and
and illustrious citizen said:
“The riders in a race do not stop short when they
reach the goal. There is a little finishing canter before
coming to a standstill. There is time to hear the kind
voices of friends and to say to himself: ‘The work is done/
But just as one says that, the answer comes: ‘The race is
ove1', but the work never is done while the power to work
remains. The canter that brings you to a standstill need
not be only coming to rest. It cannot be, while you still1
live. For to live is to function. That is all there is to liv-!
ing.”
NORTH OF POINT BARROW
Who knows but what there is a broad field for ac
tivity north of Point Barrow, and who knows but what
some of these Norse adventures might discover that his
torians have only been speculating on where Troy actually
stood and instead of being of Phoenician origin is in fact
a part of Alaska, and that its siege was not laid by the
Argynes clad in “fair tunic and doublet,” but by a bunch
of ancient Sourdoughs wearing parkas.
The president of a company manufacturing cough
drops reveals that his sales for the past year have been
greater than in any similar previous period. Wise folks
may readily anticipate the answer to the question, “How
come?” The company doubled its advertising last year.
Among recent signs and advertisements, the follow
ing are noted: “Prepare for a long, dreary evening with
the radio.” “Our tongue sandwiches speak for them
selves.” “Try our pigs’ feet; we pickle our own.”
John McCormack’s life is insured for a million dol
lars, but we’d hate to risk that much on a radio crooner.
Milwaukee consumes a hundred million gallons of
water a day, but that isn’t what used to make it famous.

TIE CUTTING BEGINS
