One Of the reasons why several
superimposed layers are used is
that a single piece of wood is liza
Bile to warp, while a number of
thin pieces glued together, and so
arranged with regard to the grain
of the wood that they counteract
one another's tendency to warp,
are free from this objection.
Then there is another thing, which
brings out a fact not generally
known. The two blades must be
perfectly equal in weight and of
the same size and form. But this
equality can not be obtained if
they are made of a single piece,
because 40 two pieces of wood of
the same size are of exactly equal
density, and in a tree the lower
part of the trunk is denser than
the upper part, so that a long
blade cut from it will vary in
density from end to end
Special Requirements.
The selection, the curing and
the treatment Of the wood to be
used for aerial propellers all re-
quire special experience and
knowledge, while the shaping Of
the curved surfaces, which can
only be done with hand tools, is
an operation almost comparable
in delicacy with that Of putting

Success and Failure
Bv EBERT HUBBARD

VTTITHOUT a knowledge of
w the Law of Average the
insurance companies would
be unable to do business. By it
they eliminate chance, for chance
applies only to small numbers.
Once understand the working
principle of things and there is
no uncertainty. The rest is mere
detail
Business in the United States
is not an uncertain proposition
taken as a whole,
When you hear somebody say
that 95 men out of 100 fail in
business, put it down on a par
with one of those ancient bro
mides about nine men out of ten
in our great cities eventually
filing drunkards' graves. 1t is
hookworm talk.
Failure is the exception.
Men may die, but very, very
seldom do they Join the down
and-out club.
Failure. like disease, always
sends warnings; it rings the bell
and blows its whistle.
And most men, everywhere, are
able to sdestep, hedge, counter,
duck, climb the fence, raise an
umbrella and escape the grim
monster Of defeat.

Eternal Readjustment.

Business is an eternal read
justment to meet new conditions
always, Of courses granting the
dictum that life is a dangerous
business and that none Of us get
out of it alive.
But death and failure are not
synonymous. Death is as natural
as life, and for all we know, just
as good Thomas Carlyle said 1t
was better, but he spoke while
yet alive.
The only people who fail are
those who take q sedattve and go
to sleep on the track when they
see trouble coming.
Success, of course, is a compar-
ative proposition. There is no
such thing as an absolute sue
cess. Neither should there be alb
solute failure. Walking is simply
a falling forward and contin-
ual recovery. So business men,
every day make mistakes-but
they profit by them.

MODERATE DRINKING.

may be possible; but IT is as true
as the gospel that the great ma

moderate drinkers wind up with
being immoderate drinkers. Alco-
hol creates the desire for more
alcohol. and oftener than other
wise the whisky drinker finds
himself quite unable to keep
