zone trouble with many young men
who start out in business is they try to
do too many things at once" says Het-
ty Green. 1.-THE result Is that they
don't know as much as they ought to
about any one thing, and they natural
ly fail. The trouble with young men
who work on salaries is that they're
always afraid of doing more than
they're paid for. They don't enter into
their work with the right spirit. To
get on and be appreciated young man
must do more than he's paid to do.
When he does something that his en-
ployer has not thought of, he shows
that he is valuable. Men are always
willing to pay good salaries to people
who will think Of things for them.
The man who only carries out the
thoughts and ideas of another is moth
ing more than mere tool. Men who
can be relied upon are always in de-
mand. The scarcest thing in the world
today is thoroughly reliable man."

The curious gymnastic feats which

of the birds to vary the monotony Of
their life in captivity. That was the
