will probably cost $3.50
One heavy initial expense concerning
which most patrons of the moving picture
show are ignorant is the screen against
which the pictures are thrown. The canvas
sheet which used to do for the old fashioned
stereopticon Is out Of the question. He must
buy one Of the many different kinds that
are offered by manufacturers.
When he has invested in his permanent
equipment to the tune Of s.. 600 or so. he must
have in hand at least $500 to keep his show
open for week. The current running ex-
penses amount to that sum. The heaviest
cost Is for film service II his crowd can
stand II he can get this for $40 per week
oy using films that have been shown for a
year, and have already appeared 100 or
800 times, but II he uses the highest service
including three new run pictures every week
that have never been shown, he must pay
$50 per week for them. He must have a
singer for the illustrated songs at SIS a
week; a plano player at $50; a ticket seller
at IS; an usher at SO; an operator at SIS,
and door tender whose salary may be any
where from $50 to $50 per week. These
amounts will not leave enough Of his $500 to
tide him over the next week. unless the
pickup in his business has been phenomenal
He must have a large reserve to be on the
safe side.
II he begins the venture with 5000 he
will be able to continue only six weeks with
out establishing a patronage that will carry
him forward. This estimate does not con-
slider the original expense OF the building

lis landlord will pay for the necessary work
So 1t is not safe for him to take the chance
unless he has 5000 for the original invest

work in shipshod way, with no real effort
TO better themselves or win praise for good
work done. 1neficiency is odious.
Mr.. ,Veblen says: g" Under the canon of
conduct imposed by the instinct Of workman
ship. efficiency. serviceability. commends it.
self. and inefficiency or futility is odious.
Man contemplates his own conduct and that
Of his neighbors. and passes a judgment Of
complacency or dispraise. The degree Of
effectiveness with which he lives up to the
accepted standard Of efficiency in great meas
ure determines his contentment. . A.. As
regards serviceability or efficiency. men do
not only take thought at first hand Of the
facts OF their own conduct; they are also
sensitive to rebuke or approval from others.
Not only is the immediate consciousness Of
the achievement of a purpose gratifying and
stimulating, but the imputation Of efficiency
by ones fellows is perhaps no less gratifying
or stimulating
There are certain kinds Of work In the
world that must win the approval OF others
II they are TO count. For instance. the writer
must win the approval Of men There are
men SO placed that they can write just to
please themselves. but the majority Of writ
ers must seek to please an audience. There
are men who do things they hate and detsst
to do, yet they must win approval in the
doing of them for the sake OF their bread
and butter.

Deserved Praise Counts.

1t is easily possible to lose the sense of
proportion in this matter of praise. Praise
for natural en6owments may increase vanity.
and praise for anything other than definite
achievement may be but sounding brass and
very brassy.
If you cannot win praise because of eff
cheney, and II you cannot gain praise except
for the most worthy reasons. you would
better put the idea out of your life. Butifit
is one of the prime impulses that drives YOU
on to noble achievement, it is not to be
soorned nor underestimate.
As men expect praise so should they give
it. In general they are a bit chary They
keep their approval to themselves. They do
not say the things that would warm the
cookies Of the heart of a fellow man and
give him the final evidence that what he was
doing was real achievement
Often the higher a mans ability the more
Isolated from needed praise is he. People do
not understand and often condemn qualities
Of the highest sort, discouraging their pos
SCISSOR and retarding his final achievement
H. G. Wells, in Mankind and the Malang"
says: 3" 1t Is stupid superstition that
genius win out in spite of all discoura ge-
ment The fact that great men have risen
against crushing disadvantages In the past
proves nothing Of the sort: this roll call Of
survivors does no more than give the meas
ure OF the enormous waste OF human possi-
biltty human stupidity has achieved. Men
of exceptional gifts have the same broad
needs as common men, food, clothing, honor,
attention, and the help OF their fellows in
self-respect."
II you could help a man by little sincere
praise, would you withhold It? Would you
not rather put yourself out a little to give
it? Do you recall often enough how much
you have been helped in this way. There Is
good field for the application Of the golden
rule in this matter Of praise.

Praise Is Spur to Work.

There are all sorts of spurs to labor, but
there is perhaps none which drives a man
faster and sUrer 10 a high goal than that of
praise. that Of winning COMMUNICATION. 1t
is great desire in men to be thought to be
somebody. to win deferential attention, or to
wear some legion OF honor cross or some
medal which is proof of praiseworthy and
admirable attainment
Great honors come TO but few men. vet
these might be more widely distributed IL
the impetus to work for them was stronger
than that inertia which may be solely the
result of the ignorance of rewards to be
gained False standards OF life are also the
stumbling block, such as that Of getting
what is wanted by wheeling or grating or
by self-assertion that amounts almost to in
timdation. There are fewer men than for
merly, perhaps. who say that the world
owes them living. for there have been too
many examples of such men getting their
living under severe restraint and subject to
the heavy prison discipline of hard labor.
one of the teachers of the new work gospel
would have men secure efficiency by increae-
ing their good moments, making them more
frequent and reducing their bad ones. Hab-
its and propensities of life often hinder this
end, but II the Impulse Is strong enough, II II
is so fundamental as that for wide praise.
habits can be made to lose their throttle
hold. and even the most evil propensities
can be overcome. The idea OF so overcom-
ing may be very repellent very irksome. but
even in the men who make the least effort
there is always a shadow Of desire TO win, to
succeed, to gain approval.
Fourteen years ago a brilliant professor
Of political economy coined a phrase which
was widely quoted. This theorist about
mems iabors and their worth likewise wrote
an article with this same phrase as its title.
In this article is the basic thought or the
prophecy of much that has been worked out
in factory. shop. and mercantile establish
ment The phrase was. The instinct of
and the irksomeness Of labor
The article is not Of a popular type but the
soundness of. its central thought-that it is
human TO desire to be efficient-was an ad-
vance expression of a practical principle
which has within the last three or four years
taken great hold on the minds of men.

Good Work Wins Praise.

The common sense of men is in favor of
work. The instinct for workmanship is a
sure instinct. Men enjoy seeing others spend
their lives to some purpose, and they give
freely of their praise. They like to reflect
that their own life is Of use. A sense OF merit

for being worth while. our political eoono-
mist, Mr. Thorstein Veblen, made not only
commonsensible in men. but even half es-

effective act or work and they disapprove

REHEARING DENIED
IN THE EDDY CASE

CONCORD, n. H., June 2s.-The su-
preme court today denied rehesring
in the case involving the legality of the
residuary bequest Of Mrs. Mary Baker
G. Eddy to the First Church Of Christ
Scientist, of Boston. The suit was
originally brought in the superior court
by Mrs. Eddy's son, G. ", Glover of
Lead, s. D., seeking to have the residu-
ary bequest declared void and the resi-
due of the Eddy estate, valued at about
81, 2,000,000, divided between Glover and
Mrs. Eddy's adopted son, DR., Ebenezer
j. Foster Eddy of Waterbury, VT.
This was referred to the supreme court
for determination of the legal points
involved. The supreme court recently
ruled that the residuary Request was
legal aud did not conflict with statutes
quoted by the plaintiffs limiting the
size OF bequests to churches. Counsel
for Glover thon asked for a rehearinp.
