Now that I'm travelling there are several little

The gentle, springtime is here, the
glad birds blithely sing, and every little
yellow alley cat doth on a robin spring.
The backyard rubbish heap il smokes,
old rubbers faint the air, and when you

the town, the landlord paints his shack,
and mother turns her last years gown

here, and house cleaning's here, too, and
soon Wei quaff the lager beer and eat a
rhubarb stew.
The warbling Of the moving van it
mingles with the hymn, of yonder wan
and achful man who puts his garden in.
And dandelion greens are here. the
lawn is sprouting up. and soon the ice
mans horrid leer will brim our troubles

The poets, too, are sprouting now their

A look at the coal bin this morning sup
piled for us further convincing proof that
spring ought to be here.

tailors, Is "a inches around the waist.
The man with 80 waist is, then, only a

Of water shy of being perfect.

lowing for the peace party.

Others say he is satisfied with his condi-

to be the party most interested.

THE INEFFICIENT.
Nv OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1918. by Frank Crane)

am talking to you. son. You're a
healthy young fellow Of twenty. You
are strong in body and your mind is
not weak And say to you that II you
are broke, stranded, and friendless, it's
ten to one that but one person will be
TO blame, and that's yourself.
For you can make yourself efficient.
There is some one thing, maybe two
things, that you can be able to do better
than most other people can do. And for
q person who can make good there is
always an opening.
This world is full of second-raters, Of
unskilled, unframed, botching, butter
fingered incompetents. They usually are
so because they were too lazy or too ig-
norant to prepare themselves to do well
some part of the worlds work
Lord, Lordi the poor work that fills
the world! Think of it.! OF all the
mothers in this town, how many are sue
cesses? How many are applying them
selves, by study and constant effort, to
the business of mothering?
had, I suppose. hundred teachers,
more or less, in my school days; and Of
them / can't remember over two or
three that understood how TO teach. The
others were just holding their jobs.
! Most preachers you hear are bad
not bad men, but bad preachers. Most
singers cannot sing. Most actors are
mediocre. Most books are waste Of
time. Most houses are not ut to live in.
Most cooks can't cook Most clerks do
not earn even the small salary they get.
do not speak Of genius, nor of the
exceptionally gifted people. 1t is plain
fact that THE MAN WHO SIMPLY
DOES WELL THE THING HE IS PAID
FOR DOING is A RARE QUANTITY.
That is the shameful truth.
And the direct road toward always
getting employment, toward being indis-
pensable and in demand, is to EQUIP
YOURSELF TO DO SOMETHING
WELL.
Efficiency? Why, don't know a soli-
tary hotel or restaurant in this town
where you can get slice Of BREAD that
is real bread like mother used to make.
And as for hot biscuit-they haven't the
remotest idea Of them. You can get
forty-seven kinds Of meats and vege-
tables with all sorts of sauces, all tast-
ing about alike, but never a piece Of
homemade bread. It's almost as bad
with coffee. q
When you hire carpenter, painter,
paperhanger, upholsterer, plasterer, or
plumber to do job in your house II is
reasonably sure that his work viii be
sighted, bungled, and unsatisfactory, un-
less you stand over him with club.
What field is open to the man who
does good work, who is punctual. honest,
and capablel
No, son, don't get led astray by Wild
eyed theories. To be sure, it's a wicked,
cruel, and selfish world. There's a deal
of injustice and special privilege and all
that in it.
But I'm talking to YOU. And tell you
that the way to keep out Of the mud Of
failure is to train yourself, to study, to
be Industrious, and to fit yourself tp do
something well, to make good.
They tell you that every employer has
more applicants than he has jobs. The
truth is that he has more INEFFICIENT
applicants. IL he KNEW that you could
do the business satisfactorily he would
give you work Immediately.
The world is hungry for men who can
and do MAKE GOOD.

Times local staff have been doing fine
team work for this column this week.
It was in this column, you will recall,
that Richard Pearson Hobson was taken
more seriously than he was in some other
editorial columns in Detroit when he
made the prediction that the United
States will be dry by 1925.
II one wants to know what is coming
on, he has only to look about him, and
The Times news-gathering agents have
been doing considerable looking about for
us the past few days.
First the cable sounded with the plea
Of Lloyd George for prohibition Of the
sale Of intoxicants in England.
And then it sounded again, with word
like this:

that San Antonio was on the line, and
