The GREAr PARls-MADRID AUTOMOBILE RACE RtsuLItD
~ AGING In automobiles has now become practically

his average outside the city and village limits is said to

In this day of common motive and
combined activity the individual seems
to be at a discount, comparatively in
significant beside the great purpose
and progression Of which he is a part.
He is a mere bit of machinery rather
than a complete, individual engine.
Apart, by himself, he is of small mo-
ment; It is only his strength as a unit
I'm the collective whole that counts. To
individuality. The whole training OF
the persent day IS toward self-repres-
sion, and this Is as Ii should be. 1t Is
somewhat anomalous that self-repres-
sion makes for character. 1t does, just
as self-denial makes for power, just
ms mute, unquestloning service makes
for generalship, ability to direct. Thus,
instead OF %cheapenlng manhood the
present day business life gives 1t CO.
ordination, fiber and tone. 1t Is a re-
lining yet n strengthening process.
If Is a more even yet a more potent
and effective life that we lead these
days. 1t is concerted effort and ON
mon enterprise, grauual, sure, cohllnu-
Gus; as against a riotous individuality
OF former times, sporadic, full of mis-
takes. uncertain. 1t is the difference
trained energy and mlsdirec-
ton. concentration and waste. Finely
tempered and powerful individuality
brings success today no less than for
merly. Perhaps the road is a little
longer now, but achievements are
more substantial and enduring. on
the whole, there is no good reason for
the man of to-day to despair because
no "a ground down" If he has the
intrinsic merit, the grinding will de-
yelop it. If he lacks 1t, he Is perhaps
even better off as a factor In the big
machinery than he would be In indie
pendent action.
