Place the most literally educated
president OF the highest institution Of
learning alone on a desert island. and.
II he lives, he will soon become more
animal than man, perhaps crawling
on all tours, forgetting his native
tongue. and becoming Intellectually
below the domestic dog in intelli,
gence. He will even forget how to
talk to himself
By ourselves we amount to prac.
tically nothing.
Although the human brain does not
lack individuality. 1t Is prominently
receptacle for the storage Of what
comes to 1t from the outside. Not
what we possess, but what we obtain
from others. or, to put 1t differently.

Man, collectively. is almost all-pow

One OF the principal causes of fail.
ure is the tendency to live too much
within ourselves, to depend upon our
selves, to judge for ourselves.
l am not asking anyone to give up
his individuality. or to allow others to
dictate his every action, but / am

young woman, that. If you would

obtain a character and a reputation,
you must depend upon others, ex-

ers. giving and taking. drawing from
the great world at large all that 1t
can give you, or, rather. all that you
can take OF it.
There is no other way.
The more friends you have, the
more you mix intelligently with others,
the more you get together, the more
you will amount to. You will not for

you will combine 1t with that of 9TH
ers, making exchanges. swapping ex-
periences.
Depending upon yourself is laudable
and to be encouraged, but when you
carry that self-dependence to the ex.
IRENE, you will find that you have
nothing back OF you which will sus.
tain you, even In small emergencies.
You need companions, companions
Of your own kind-you cannot have
any other kind.
To be an acceptable and useful citi
zen and to succeed In business, con
tact with your fellows Is absolutely
essential. Progressive business men
are members OF boards of trade and
chambers of commerce. They keep In
touch with financial movements and
are never ignorant of those current
events which have bearing upon
their vacations. Even competitors

This intermingling is as necessary
in social life as 1t is in business. I'm
less you are constantly in touch with
your fellows. you will become toe
rusty to be considered of any conse
quence in any community.
The more you fraternize with in
telligent and honest others, the more
intelligent and the more honest you
will be. You cannot escape your fel
lows, unless you shut yourself away
from them; and, If you do. you might
as well jump overheard and stay
there, for the world does not wan

England has and cannot get to the

II she could, YOU can rest assured the
German liners would be plying back and
forth just as any other vessels. Then,
too, Germany doesn't want TO let her
goods out OF Germany unless we bring In
ours, which is likewise impossible. and so
the agitation pro and con goes on.
Mr.. Gompers said that on several oc-

What do you mean by the term war
munittonsY I asked one of these in
ouirers DO you mean gunpowder2 Do
you mean cannon? or do you mean
everything that is necessary to the con-
duct of war? The soldiers in the
trenches have to have shoes. they have
to have clothes, hats, gloves and other
personal equipment Meats and bread
stuffs are necessary to their sustenance,
automobiles for their conveyance,
dredges for digging trenches. lumber for
holding back the embankments, coal, oil
and other substances for warmth or mo-
tive power. Now. If you stop the ship
ment of gunpowder, why don't you stop
the shipment Of all these things?
ALL TRADE WOULD CEASE.
Suppose you would do that. Trade
would come to n standstill and the work.
men would suffer. Why, It's madness,
utter madness, a physical as we'll as a
commercial impossibiity. Under such
conditions each nation would become de-
pendent upon itself and be a walled ar
senal, completely shut off from the out
side world. Such "a condition could not
exist.
II agree with President Wilson in his

rights of all other nations, we must insist

Asked what effect the war II brought
to a sudden close would have upon the
workmen of the United States, Mr. Com
pers said:
Labor naturally will suffer somewhat
at the close of the war for when war
orders cease the munition plants will be
compelled to discharge or lay off hum
dreds of workmen Many of the men will
have to seek new lines of trade, others
will 90 back to trades they left to go into
these factories. and while the readjust-
ment is taking place there will be hard
times. but the American workman
usually looks to the future and will be
prepared to meet these conditions, and
when the change has been effected pros
perity will reign as never bfor.
But I must be hurrylng along to that
