Getting a Start NATHANIEL y {. FOWLER
OUT OF WORK.

HUNDREDS of thousands of
men and women, of all ages
and conditions, are out of
work, a result due as often to Cir
tumstances over which they have no
control as to. incompetency or some
dishonest or other act on their part.
Business is subject to financial and
other depreciation, and quite often
the mercantile house is obliged to
lay aside its workers, either tenn
porarily or permanently.
1t is obvious that the employe must
meet these conditions and suffer ac-
cordingly. Even though he may be
unusually competent, and have rem
dered the most efficient service, there
is always danger of disaster.
1t must be admitted, however, that
the proficient worker is likely TO be
the last one removed, and that he
stands a better chance of re-eTnploy-
ment. Notwithstanding his ability
he may at times be thrown out and
down. He is indeed unfortunate,
because, not being responsible for
loss of position, he cannot, obvious
ly, repent of his wrong or careless
doing, for he has not been careless
and has done no wrong. He should
accept conditions as they are, make
every effort not to be discouraged,
and push himself with all his might
into another position, .strenuously
making application in every available
direction. working as hard to obtain
a new position as he did while hold
ing the old one.
He should follow the want adver-
tisements in the newspapers, adver-
tise for position, notify bis friends,
and through letters and verbal in
Productions get into close contact
with houses where there are possible
openings. He should use every avail
able opportunity, even boring his
friends. The longer he is out of a
position, tie, harder it will be for
