1 know . young man who has made

tells me he would wait around the

for a chance to do something which
somebody else had neglected. He did
not want to get away on the minute.
He wanted a chance to show the pro-
prietors that the boy who had swept
out the store had ideas: that he was
made Of the stun that wins; that he
was always on the lookout for the well
fare OF the firm and was not afraid of

The employer does not want to beg
people to do things for him. and the
boy who wants to get on ought to re-
gard every opportunity to render lit
tie additional service as a great ad-
vantage to him. a chance to get little
deeper into the confidence of his en-
ployer. to get a little nearer to him.
Readiness. Willingness to do any
thing at any time. disposition to

A revival of building operations and
real estate sales is taking place within
the District. AS | notice it, the &C
tivities arc those of individuals,
people who are building homes. knd,
of course, there is a noticeable &C
tivity among real estate promoters
in building large apartment houses.
People are inquiring about subur-
ban property, not with a view to
speculate, but to acquire property for
their homes. That is a good sign
and shows substantial improvement
people inquire as to home
building properties. 1t is good,
solid investment.
This revival is due to a return of
confidence in the people. The re-
turn of that confidence has had
other results, also. 1t has eased the
money market, for people are put
ting their money into other good in
vestments; good bonds, for instance.
Another improvement noted DUR
ing the week was the bettcring oil
conditions in the New York stock
markets. Investments and securities
are undergoing a superior change.
