MAN GUIDED BY HIS IDEALS
N Clean and Definite, Success in LIS

From the Start.

A human being without ideals "a as

As surely and confidently as does the
ruddcr guide the ship. so do clean,
definite ideals guide and shape and
complete a successful career.
There is never any progress without
an objective point.
II you are building business. and
have carefully formulated honest
ideals toward which you are to pro-
coed. there can be small question as
10 your success Failure may mark
the way. but your ideals will keep
you IN tho right direction where ulti'

As soon as you learn the Ideals OF a
man. you know the man.
Il Is impossible TO md a really
great man or woman or business that
does not literally reflect In all dlrec-
tons. for every worthy ideal seems
to be- gifted with millions OF rejecting
rays
We are each OF us responsible to
society and the world In general for
our ideals
Worthy ideals. earnestly sought and
sincerely carried out. credit man on

discredlt and unharness man here

OIL Driver Out Coal.

On account OF the large production
Of petroleum In California. and lts use
for fuel. coal mining has practically
ceased In that state. According TO tho
United States geological survey. the
production OF coal In the last two
years has been only iO.7i7 tons in
1911. and i0.s7s tons In 1912. The pro-
ductlon OF petroleum In California In
1919 was s6.i5O.767 barrels. OF which
not less than 50.0O0.OOO barrels was
used directly for fuel. Large quantl-
ties OF oil were also used In place OF
coal for gas making. and on the estl-
mate OF az barrels Of petroleum being
equivalent to one ton OF ordinary
bltuminous coal. II Is probable that
from 1900. 900 to 100000 tons Of
coal would be required TO perform In
California the service now rendered BY
petroleum In the production OF heat.
light and power. There Is stu. how
ever. some demand for coal In Callfor-
MIA. particularly for domestic use and
for the bunker trade at San Francisco.
but this Is almost exclusively supplied
by coal from other states or from

Version Given by Crews.

The crews version of the trouble as
related by the Chinese consul is that
the alleged mutineers We're taken from
Chinese waters on a promise that they
would be returned in q week, but that
they were taken to the Marshall Is
lands instead and forced to work day
and night coaling three German cruis-
ers. They were brought to Honolulu,
they told the consul. and given to un-
derstand that their stay in the ship in
this port would be indefinite.
The three Hamburg rg-Americaners on
which the trouble occurred are COM
paratiyely small vessels which ran in
here to avoid the possibility of cap
ture. When the Honeymoon came i'll a
few davs ago, she did not stop at quar-
anrine, and was sent back outside the
harbor by the port officers.

don't propose to give the credit

President Wilson said today that he
was prayerfully working for peace in
Europe, but indicated that nothing of
a definite or formal character had yet
been done The President declared
that a worlds crisis exists and that
only serious remedies should be dis
cussed.
President Wilson continues to be
greatly embarrassed, he made known
to friends today, over what he terms
'mischievous publications regarding
his probable intentions. For some
days a story has been in circulation,
both here and in Europe. that Mr..
Wilson proposes to take the lead in
calling worlds congress to begin ef-
forts for peace. The President regards
talk of this sort as unwise and even
silly. He told visitors that he is as
earnestly hopeful of being able to
help establish peace in Europe as he
has ever been, but that Impractical
suggestions as to his purposes are
likely to do much against peace.

Yet the idea is not general that the

paradise in disguise. For teachers get

more or less apt to be disturbing ele-
