PRESIDENT DROPS
SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
No Formal Receptions or Din
ners at the White House
the Coming Winter.
WILL DEVOTE MUCH TIME
TO THE PUBLIC BUSINESS
Secretary and Mrs. McAdoo at
Jekyl Island-Luncheon for Miss
Haywood-Society Notes.

FORMAL announcement was made a.
the White House today that the usual
receptions and dinners given oy the
president during the winter season
Will De Cancelled. The statement will
cause no surprise in Washington
where this action has been expected
The cancellation will include the New
ear reception. This function was
abandoned last year, the President be-
Miss.
PRESIDENT Wilson is expected TO be
mere throughout the winter with the
exception of possible day or Two at
time, but VIII not receive the tLrorrs
that have been accustomed to visit the
White House the first d.y ar oanh
year.
Embarrassment will be saved the
White House and many persons bv the
cancellation of the usual diplomatic
dinner and reception. The outbreak of
the European war has disrupted many
o1 me 1f1endships that existed in diplo-
matlc circles, and it is doubtful if a
satisfactory social event could be held
at the White House this winter in
honor of the diplomatic corps
An immense amount of clerical and
executive work will be saved the
White House by the cancclla ton. t.a rly
in November of every year in the past
some of the best penmen in the execu-
tive departments were sent to the White
House to begin work upon the invita-
tons for the great receptions. These
men labored for Il number of weeks
carefully inscribing the names Of those
invited and writing the envelopes for
the invitations. Many thousands of
these cards went out each winter and
the pressure upon the White House for
the invitations has always been enor-
nous. political and social influences
pressing for recognition.
Extra messengers have been used at
the White House each winter during
the social season in the delivery OF the
invitations to homes throughout Wash
irGton.

At the door OF every occupation there

A man of tremendous resisting power,
powerful tenacity OF purpose. a man who

In a New York business place is this
motto: Where others give up Is just

The man who is made of the stun that
wins is just beginning to get his breath
when Others around him give up and turn
back. This is just the difference between
the man who succeeds and the man who
fizzles. As long as your grit lasts you
will last. II is the sand in a mans char

HOW MUCH CAN

There comes into every life worth while
times when success will turn upon a
question Of reserves
1t is a question of how long you can
hold cut. It may not be q question Of
whether you can do any more than you
are doing right now, but q question OF
whether you have the grit, the nerve to
hold on, to continue when those about
you think the battle is lost
TIE world has been IL ilied by the
ecS mt splendid resistance of the Bel
gia-Is, who, confronted BY superior num-
bers for fifteen days, held the invaders OF
their country in check, thus delaying
their advance and enabling the allies to
complete their concentration. 1t is said,
in the heroic defense Of Louyain and
Aerschot, a mere handful Of Belgians
held thousands at bay while the main
Belgian army reformed its position.
Many a successful career has turned
upon that one point, the ability to stick
and hang on when everything seemed
lost.
On every hand people are failing sim
ply because they lack the power Of con-
tinuance. They lack that continuity OF
purpose which never let's go as long as
there is a breath Of life left.
When Admiral Farragut made his Ia
nous run past the torpedos in Mobile
Bay he dashed himself to the mast lest
something might happen to induce him to
turn back, or lest he might be killed and
fan into the hands of the enemy.
There are times when We must lash
ourselves to the mast Of mighty purpose,
of an invincibIe resolution. lest in a mo-
ment of weakness we night be induced
by some overwhelming odds to swerve
from our course or to turn back to
give up.
The tenacity of the fiber of different
timbers is found by ascertaining its
breaking point. These woods are tested
as are metals to discover how much they
will stand before they break. In the
DAYS of sailing ships, before the discov-
cry Of steam power, timber having enor-
nous tenacity of fiber and great resist.
ing strength was in demand, especially
for ship knees, where there was a heavy

pests
The same sort of tenacity Of fiber, OF
mental fiber, of moral stamina is in de-
mand today in every line of human en-
deavor.
Your future will depend very largely
upon your breaking point. The distance
you travel in life will be measured by
the point in life at which you turn back,
at your giving-up point
If you buckle when the strain comes,
IL your courage and your stamina sag
when the crisis arrives, when great dan
ger confronts you; II you show the white
feather, II you run away in the thick of
