The boys and girls should realize that a great number of people in former years have worked a number of years to get money for education, and then have returned to their studies, and have opened the way to good or high success through this additional education. They should realize that the world places a high value on knowledge and intelligence.

As women have done their share to- ward family burdens by their work in maintaining a home, and by bearing children and taking on the main job of training them, it would seem that they should always have been free to propose this relation. Perhaps the old idea about pro- posing marriage came from the old feeling formerly more or less pre- valent among men that their sex was superior, and hence entitled to take the initiative in this intimate relation. Today women are considered the equals of men, and m~rriage is looked at as an equa~ partnership between the sexes. Hence it seems that women should have the equal right to propose marriage when. they wish to do so. Do you feel "left out of it"?

V INVENTORY TIME This is the time of year when many corncerns are making inven- tories, or "taking account of stock" as the old phrase had it. Business people have often approached this job with anxiety, being in doubt whether they were making money or losing it. Business is done usually nowadays on close margins of profit. Little leaks here and there have sometimes converted what seemed a profitable trade into a losing business. It is important for business to find out just where it stands. Methods of business grow more scientific and methodical from year to year. The training for business is better, oosts and expenses are figured more carefully. Inventory time helps to find out whether methods and systems and policies are right or could be improved. Business has done a grand job in meeti~g the difficult conditions of wartime. We can hope that all our concerns will find favorable figures when their inventory time comes, and will have been reward- ed for all the effort they have made to meet the war situation. ~-V- THE COST OF WAR The federal governmen~ spent the enormous sum of $88,000,000,000 in 1943. That was more money than was spent in the first 150 years of the nation's history.

But if you do business in Beach or with people in this trade territory, be sure you will be remembered by advertising regularly in Mr. Business Man, let's talk about you. After the war, when the peace is won, will you be remembered?
