USE OF SPARE TIME By Prof. Leon J. Richardson University of California Extension Director Men in the Old War used to say society could not exist without the support of a leisure class. Nowadays people in Europe and America look upon leisure, not as the privilege of any one class, but the birthright of every man and woman. Moreover, an automatic effect of the machine age in which we are now living has been to increase leisure. Happiness comes, not from work and rest, but from a proper balance of work, leisure, and rest; rightly understood, therefore, leisure is the time, not for rest but recreation, not for indolence but free beneficial activity. It helps to keep the door of hope open, enabling us to take advantage of passing opportunity, to grow, and progress. Everyone should order his daily life so as to have some leisure, for it is during such parts of the day that many important decisions are made. Then a man has time to think quietly, and to do some of the things, like reading, that make for his mental growth. If work tends to get him into a rut, leisure lifts him out again. If work is not carrying him to a proper goal, it is often during leisure that he discovers the fact and directs his course anew. Leisure is like wealth, it comes to him who has skill in planning; it is seldom put to good uses if it is ill got. It will do the possessor most good who has earned it. To have it and use it makes a miser. To misuse it makes a spendthrift. To use it well is the Everyone should order his daily life so as to have some leisure, for it is during such parts of the day that many important decisions are made.

Leisure is like wealth, it comes to him who has skill in planning; it is seldom put to good uses if it is ill got. It will do the possessor most good who has earned it. To have it and use it makes a miser. To misuse it makes a spendthrift. To use it well is the mark of a wise man. Great men have a trait in common—they continually put forth efforts to increase their powers, thus growing year by year toward the fulfilment of their capacities. A HOPEFUL LOOK AHEAD Already we see signs that 1932 is going to be a better year for most everybody than 1931 was. Perhaps the most encouraging sign is the hopeful outlook that most people seem to have. The human mind is a curious thing. It has to have, for most of us, symbols or milestones to focus upon. The end of 1931 and the beginning of 1932 was such a milestone. Everywhere we hear people speak with thankfulness of the fact that the year 1931 is dead. They are sure that 1932 cannot be any worse and, therefore, must be better. There is nothing logical, of course, about such reasoning; in fact, it is not reasoning at all. But human affairs are seldom, or never, governed by reason, but rather by sentiment. And if this sentimental belief that, somehow, 1932 is going to be better, reflects a widespread hope, then 1932 certainly will be better. There is more than mere emotion, however, on which to base the belief that we are going to get pretty nearly out of the woods before this year is over. Probably there never has been so much painstaking, intelligent research into economic conditions as has been going on during the past year. And now the reports are coming in from the people who have been studying the situation much more closely than any individual editor can study it, and they are all encouraging. Business is showing more stability in many lines, industry is beginning to pick up, there is ground for expectation that the Debt Conference in Europe and the International Disarmament Conference will relieve the world depression in some way. Even if the rest of the world does not find quick relief from its troubles, however, nothing can be more certain than that we in the United States are beginning to pull out of the Slough of Despond and that is the first step toward planting our feet firmly on the road back to prosperity. At the very worst, we are and always have been better off in America than ordinary folks like us could ever hope to be in Europe. When we come right down to it, we have gone farther in this country toward solving the major problems of living for the ordinary man than any other nation has ever done since the beginning of time. HOW FARM RELIEF LOOKS TO US We have been following as well as we could, the discussions about farming and the condition of the farmer which have been going on at Washington and elsewhere, and it seems to us that, in HOW FARM RELIEF LOOKS TO US We have been following as well as we could, the discussions about farming and the condition of the farmer which have been going on at Washington and elsewhere, and it seems to us that, in spite of all the criticisms that have been made of the Federal Farm Board and the other agencies that have been set up by the government to help agriculture, a great deal of good has already come out of it. Everybody who knows anything about rural life knows that there are good farmers and bad farmers, that some farmers are good business men and make a surplus above their living, and that some farmers are poor business men, or have other handicaps which, under any circumstances, would always keep them poor. But, on the whole, the man who owns a piece of land and is able to work can always be sure of at least a living for his family, barring droughts, floods and other acts of God, and we do not know of any other industry or kind of work in which that is true. The farmers who are subject to the greatest distress are the one-crop farmers, who grow nothing but a single commodity, wheat, cotton or tobacco, or whatever it may be. They have nothing to fall back on when the prices of their cash crops go down. We think that all of the discussions at Washington have made this so clear that there is now a much stronger movement toward diversified farming, with the farmer's own living as the first consideration, and his cash crop as a secondary item, than there ever was before. And we are just simple enough to believe that if all farming were to be conducted on that principle, of first raising the food for the farm family and then trying to make a good cash crop of any of the important staples, there would not be any serious farm trouble, and there would not be any groups of political farmers constantly clamoring for help from the government. If those foreign countries hold many of those sessions to talk over those war debts in all probability they will eat the whole apple. From what you can hear over the grapevine radio hook-up, when 1932 Olympic arrives, many of the visiting big shots will insist on diplomatic immunity in the moist division.

McClung of the college of commerce, University of Southern California, who has just completed a survey of curricular tendencies in educational institutions of America during the past decade. "Economics, banking and finance, accounting, business law, statistics, business organizations, and other analogous courses are being used today as core subjects with which to train the student in the fundamental processes and operations of business," Dean McClung states. Principles of business change very slowly from generation to generation, but methods of conducting business change radically from month to month. Show Increases That the new order is well-grounded is evidenced by a 320 percent increase in enrollment in commerce colleges, which now have 70,000 students compared with 17,000 ten years ago, statistics compiled by Dr. McClung show. During the same decade the number of graduates completing courses has increased to about 7,000 from 640 annually, while the number of colleges offering commerce courses numbers 95 now as against 68 of ten years ago. "Many business establishments prefer to train young employees in their own manner and have established specialized training schools for this purpose," the B. C. dean points out. As research reveals additional information of a basic character and as the true objectives of business education become more definitely formulated, methods of teaching will constantly undergo Mail Order Chief Dies Julius Rosenwald, for many years president of Sears Roebuck, died at his home near Chicago at the age of 68.

Christian Science Lesson-Sermon "Truth" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all Christian Science churches. Branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The Golden Text is from the Psalms: "God shall send forth his mercy and his truth." A verse in the Responsive Reading presents Paul's statement: "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." Among the Scriptural selections in the Lesson-Sermon are the verses from Luke: "And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her; and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God." A correlative passage from "Science and Health with key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "Truth casts out all evils and materialistic methods with the actual spiritual law—the law which gives sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, voice to the dumb, feet to the lame." Lifting Political Veil Harry M. Daugherty, one of the storm centers of the Harding regime, is to tell many of the inside learnings when Attorney General. Would Rule Husband Mrs. Rebecca Ross, a school teacher of Canden, N. J., laid down 47 rules for her husband to follow before she would live with him.

Daugherty, one of the storm centers of the Harding regime, is to tell many of the inside facts he learned when Attorney General in Harding's Cabinet in his new hook. Mrs. Rebecca Ross, a school teacher of Camden, N.J., laid down 47 rules for her husband to follow before she would live with him. Albert, who graduated from the U. of Penn, balked: HERE COMES THAT CHINEE, CHING LOCHING HOWRE YA I DONT KNOW WHETHER HE WAS CUSSIN' US OR NOT, ANYWAY I MADE SURE OBSERVATIONS TO BE SURE, OF COURSE, THEY ARE JUST GOOD FRIENDS If you came to this country, had talent, and was discovered and made the grade under the guidance of your discoverer. And then if your husband came to visit you and your little daughter. And if you and your child and your discoverer rode to the station in a fine limosene to meet the husband. And you and your child and your discoverer rode in the back seat. And after hubby arrived and you and your child and your husband rode to your home in the back seat, and your discoverer rode in the front seat with the chauffeur. And after your husband went back to his far away home alone when you again went out riding in the big limosene would you and your child and your discoverer ride in the back seat? And the next day it rained. THE BLUE PENCIL WORKS It is said many of the actors and actresses who were under contract five years ago, today their names are not on anyotted lines. HOWLING SUCCESS Wife No. 1 called on wife No.2 to make a friendly call. Hubby came home and then the fireworks started. Windows were smashed, furniture broken and wife the first landed in jail for disturbing the peace. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU CATCH ONE BY THE TAIL A big game hunter said a bear will not harm you and will avoid a human being as far as possible. IRONY OF FATE Over in a city near the big lakes it is said the school teachers have not received any salary for months, because they say the racketeers have corralled all the jack. And they say education would help prohibition. HEY, YOU, SNAP OUT OF IT It seems when the hot day comes the wimmin' are the first IRONY OF FATE Over in a city near the big lakes it is said the school teachers have not received any salary for months, because they say the racketeers have corralled all the jack. And they say education would help prohibition. HEY, YOU, SNAP OUT OF IT It seems when the hot day comes the wimmin are the first to strip off, while the men just stand around and look on. WENT RIDING TO A FALL Those oil leases seemed the only way out. It was said the man who got that big oil lease would have got it, anyhow, on a bid. That loan? Oh, yes, there is no doubt about it. It was a case likened to that old Zippy Slogan. If you don't see what you want, ask for it. Yes, it is sad. But the man may be pardoned, and everything will be Jake. THE SNOW MAN It looks like Germany's heckie finances will have to be skuezed to get enough money to go around. The moratorium for a year is a good deal like cutting off the dog's tail a piece at a time. TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY Back in an eastern city they had what is called the dole system, a polite word for charity. And lo and behold it is said one of the clerks in the front office got away with quite a lot of the Jack. And yet again it is said one of the families helped with money and milk had a car, a radio 'n' everything. WHAT A MAN When that barrell-chested middleweight beat up on the big King pin of the bush league of prize fight men, it is reported that some of the lesser luminaries were afraid to go home in the dark. HIGH AND DRY It is said if you put away a little for a rainy day you will have enough to buy an unbrella. HORSE ON HIM When they had trouble over a bridge down Oklahoma way a governor got excited, took a horse pistol with him and went to see about it. As there were no horses standing around to be killed the gov. got the hoarse laugh and went home. ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY When the big secretary went over to France to talk things over financially he found time to attend one of the big hawse races when it was estimated 100 thousand natives went through the gates. YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET The program to build a lot of postoffices will help quite a bit; but really properity still seems to linger Just Around the Corner.

LETTING IT RIDE Horatio—If you borrowed money from a life-long friend and gave him your note for security, and then he ups and tears your name off the note, what would you do about it? Hidalgo—Well, now, buddy, let's see. Of course, if he disfigured the sleep disturber and made it just a scrap of paper, I would wait for him to call me up about it, and let nature take its course. ROCKABYE BABY It is reported that when a prominent public leader, over in a foreign city, was making a speech at a peace meeting, another political leader, who had a seat on the stage, beside the speaker, took on a severe spell of yawning. Ho, Ho Hunt. WOULD MAKE A GOOD FIGHTING EDITOR The other day in a town up the way a policeman beat up o na poor innocent looking newspaper cameraman. A husky reporter was there, too. Well, after the smoke cleared away they took the cop to the hospital, while the reporter was still brushing the dust off his hands; you know, by clapping her palms together briskly. SPEAKEASIES GETTING ALL THE BREAKS In another town they have just discovered that a city liquor ordinance, after 10 years, in use, is invalid because it provided that it is unlawful to have likker in public places (only). KEEP ON YOUR SIDE OF THE FENCE It would seem to be all right to help your neighbor in distress, but when you have a leaky kettle you should do a little tinkering around home first. NOT SO HOT And even the big chief of the racketeers says all those gang "pitchers" should be put in a sack and dumped in the lake.
