Need for Course

In Handshaking

* The-handshake-i'S- an-'Cviden’Ce'-of ■ friendship. Tradition has it that men first held out their hands, palms up, to show they carried no concealed weapons. Then some smart-aleck probably learned to hide a knife between his fingers, and so the handshake was invented.

There ought to be a course in handshaking. Colleges should set it up as a requirement for graduation, and give the youngsters a thorough drilling in the fundamentals.

Thus we might rid ourselves of those two extremists—the guy who lets you shake his hand like a sack of sawdust, and the other one who likes to break a knuckle or two just to prove how strong a grip he has. Both such handshakes should never he allowed to mingle with human society.

Just a cordial grip backed by a friendly smile—those seem to be the chief essentials in telling .people you're glad to see them.

Price* and Incomes

It is something of an economic axiom that the price of any article is determined largely by how much there is of it—and how badly people want it. And that fact has led to a considerable amount of confusion in the public mind.

Take, for example, so simple and so widely-consumed a product as pork chops. The housewife will argue that the price of these chops is way too high—and automatically reason from that that all meat prices are too high. Actually, pork chops are expensive because there are so few of them. After a 240-pound hog is butchered and processed, only about 150 pounds of pork products are left for the butcher to sell. And only 10 pounds of those products are center cut pork chops—the cuts most people like best. So it is entirely natural and •inevitable that the chops cost substantially more than other pork products which are just as nutritious. This goes for other kinds of meat as well. Only a small part of a steer, for instance, winds up in the butcher’s show window in the form of T-bones.
