Likableness

The salt of the world is sprinliled
among those to whom every man and
woman delights to go-the Likable
People. You know them. You are
drawn their way whenever their at
mosphere touches yours. They lift
and honor Life.
Likableness. is one of the real es-
sentials of Leadership-a thing felt
because lived.
You meet Stranger. But straight
way he becomes your Friend
Likableness woven into his very
makeup makes him akin to you.
You look him in the eye, feel the
warm, solid grasp of his hand and
know that you can build upon his
word.
You walk into a busy Office. You
face a busy man. But being sincerely
Likable - approachable - you honor
his time and his graciousness. You
pay tribute to his Character-you do
not impose upon his responsibility.
Likableness is a wonderful asset.
1t is one of the vital necessities for
Success Success through Happiness
and Services. Make yourself Lik-
genuinely so. You can-for
anybody can.

r I ARDENING of the arteries,
unlike hardening OF the heart,
is a very popular af1iction
which we must all come to sooner or
later. preferably later. A hard
hearted man enjoys nobodys SYM
pathy, but hard-arteried man
merits at least a little friendly ad-
vice. He doesn't know where he is
going. but he is on his way. What
obstacles can we throw across his
path?
Graham-Stewart, an English prac-
titioner, suggests a few of the COM
mon factors OF arteriosclerosis. He
says habitual constipation, causing a
chronic toxemia, or self-poisoning, is
an important factor. Then he goes
ON to list more familiar causes. Too
much meat, the use of alcohol as a
beverage, too much work with too
little sleeper burning the candle
at both ends, hurried eating, habit
of humdrum occupation without daily
relaxation--or, in America at any
rate, the year round hustle. broken
only by the annual vacation, instead
of little relaxation every day.
Life insurance companies oppose
the progress of arteriosclerosis in
many case by bringing home to the
applicant the fact that he isn't so
hale and hearty as his full blood and
big appetite lead him to imagine.
Every man over thirty, whether in
terested in life insurance or not,
ought, as mere investment in health
assurance, to submit to a complete
physical examination regularly once
a year. an examination as carefully
made as any life insurance test; an
examination, moreover, which, un-
like many life insurance examina-
tions made for unprogressive COM
panies, devotes much attention to
the applicants condition and none
to the nature Of the complaint his
grandmothers died of. You know,
good, twentieth century life insur-
ance company doesn't care scratch
of the examiners pen what your
grandparents died of, or whether you
ever had any grandparents; but some
companies still do delight in tracing
back the family pedigree-for what
reason, it is hard to say.

In The Jest Cemeterv

A sad-faced crowd was gathered
about the new-made pile of dirt in
the jest cemetery.
On one tombstone, lichened and
time-dlscolored, were the hardly
legible words;
Sacred to the Memory of the
Mother-in-law Jest"
On an adjacent one, scarcely less
aged, was this:
in Loving Memory of the Why-Did-
the-Chicken-Gag."
On yet another:
Here Lies las 1t always did lie)
the Coming-Home-Drunk-at-
Two-A.M, Wheeze."
Near the newly-dug hole lay q
freshly-carved slab marked thus
"In Hallowed Recollection of the
Fisherman-Can't n't-Tell-the-Truth
Joke"
Despite the perfunctory solemnity
of the pall-bearers, however, there
seemed TO be new life and befltting
and relieved hilarity among the vii
layers.

''It is difficult to measure in dollars
this saving to the people, but it east
ly runs into millions annually. This,
however, is insignificant compared ia
the importance TO the people of the
Minnesota and Arkansas rate cases
by the supreme cour. Of the United
States. Prior to that decision the
railroads had worked out ii theory
known as the Revenue Theory This
theory had been upheld by federal
courts in many instances. Under it,
all the rates in Minnesota, Missouri,
Oklahoma and Arkansas were under
injunction. This theory apportions
property and expense between state
and interstate on the basis Of reve-
nue. derived from each class.
"As the state rates were relatively
higher than the Interstate rates and
as increases in state rates without
corresponding increase in interstate
rates, or vice versa, apportioned au-
tomatically more property and ex-
penses to the state traffic, the practi
cal result of this rule was to prove
all state rates confiscatory and abso-
lutely prevent any state commission
prescribing a system of rates that
would be immune from federal tn
junction. This theory was sustained
by the opinions of railroad auditors,
vice-presidents and general mana
gers.
Had it prevailed ultimately, I
would have advised the adjustment
of the railroad commission and the
abdication by the state of all attempts
to regulate the rates, as such the
cry, supported by opinion evidence,
would have rendered the attempt of
state to regulate rates a useless
expense
