nNE of the most interesting and profit
able of the newer professions is that
of accounting. Not only are big in
comes being made by these wizards in
figures, but their work is becoming more
and more important in the business
world. Some of the heads of the larger
firms earn from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year, and $4,000 incomes are relatively
common.
But it must not be supposed that ac-
counting is an easy profession to acquire.
Several young men want to know how to
study the subject, that is, what books to
read. To be success in this line one
must be able to grasp the essentials of an
unfamiliar business, to see into its vitals,
to "feel' its weak spots, to discover what
department is at fault, and to suggest
adequate remedies. To accomplish all
this one must have great deal of practi-
cal experience and ability as well as
"book' knowledge.

books to study or where to get them."

THIS is the story of how million
dollars was whistled into a mans
hands from out of the skies.
To get its beginnings we must 60
back fifty years to an Ohio hillside where
two boys-a city boy and country boy
were hoeing potatoes.
The country boy was telling the city
boy many things-things about corn and
calves, pigs and parsnips; what the south
wind means to the young wheat why one
must not plant in the face of thunder
storm; what to do when cows horns
get tangled in a fence. And the city boy,
because he was a wide-eyed little chap
who loved to know all things because all
knowing was good, was listening intently.
Suddenly swarm of bees passed over
head.
"Say, whatdjer gimme T wuz to get
those there bees for you?" asked the coun-
try boy of the city boy.
Now, the city boy had immense respect
for the miracles inscribed in the Testa-
ments, but he knew as well as any
one that bees didn't come down out of
the sky just because they were told to.
He was so sure of it that he banked a
dollar on 1.-THE sum total of his spending
money for the stay in the country.
The country boy dashed off. Twenty
minutes later he returned with the bees
hived in a rough box.
The city boy was not happy. He was
minus dollar, and what was he to do with
the bees? His companion Of the potato
field rolled on the ground in amusement.

How to Go About 1t

A LOT of hard work and disappoint-
= ment probably lies ahead of these
ambitious youths. The Certified Public
Accountant exams are by no means
SNAP and even when passed the mere
magic of a c. P. A. shingle will not bring
customers. But the first step in prepara-
tion is to secure copies Of the papers for
several years past in the State where the
examination is to be taken. 1t will
usually be found that such examination
consists of four parts: l. Theory Of ac-
counting. 2. Practical accounting. 3.
Commercial law. 4. Auditing.
1t is the practical accounting that usu-
ally proves the stumbling-block; SO it is
necessary to work out many problems be-
fore taking the examination. There are

A Fortune in Bees

The bees buzzed angrily. One, escaping,
stung the city boy.
Had any one told the boy that he held
in his hand the nucleus of a million dollar
business, he would have flung the box at
the head of his informant. As he walked
back to the farmhouse with his new pos
session, he reflected bitterly that there
would be no circus for him that year.
He Was that Kind Of Boy
AS a property-owner, however, he de-
termined to do the best he could
with his property, poor though the in
vestment might be. Before night he had
questioned not only the bees but every
one who could tell him anything about his
strange new acquaintances. Before the
summer ended he knew quite lot about
bees, his knowledge being augmented by
an ancient bee book found in the attic of
the farmhouse.
He built an observatory box and raised
few queens from workers eggs. Yet he
realized that he did not know half enough,
and he burned to explore to the uttermost
limit this new and, for him, hitherto unin-
habited world. He was that kind of boy,
you see.
The bees lived safely through that win
ter. Next summer the boy bought real
queen" and managed to market quite a
little honey. They called him the "bee
boy in that part of the country.
Honey had never established itself as a
marketable product. The boy, now three

fessor John R Wildman. Any publisher

l have mentioned practice first and
emphasized it; but theory should be stud
led first. Perhaps the best known work is
Hatfield's Modern Accounting If the
beginner has had absolutely no training
in bookkeeping, it is suggested by one
authority, Mr.. Greendlinger, that Moore's
and Miners Accounting and Business
Practice" should be read as an introduce
ton. Another excellent book is Wild
mans Principles of Accounting" Still
other works are Esquere's applied
Theory of Accounts, and also books by
Cole Klein, Sprague, and others.
The third subject is commercial law.
Elements of Business Law" by Hoffcut,
seems to be most widely used, although
there is well known book by Gano. For
the fourth subject, auditing, Montgom-
ery's Auditing Theory and Practice"
and Wildman's Principles of Auditing"
may be suggested. Auditing and cost
finding are specialized branches of the
general subject.
No matter how earnestly such course
be pursued, it would be vastly improved
by personal instruction. Except at very
great distances from the large cities,
there are few places beyond the reach
of schools where accounting is taught.
More important still, l doubt whether
any young man can learn to be an account
ant by merely reading books on account
ing subjects. He must understand the
general principles of business. He must
have broad grasp of finance, manage
ment, selling, banking, and similar sub
jects if he expects ever to become q sue

Good Photo Plays At Victoria

The coming weeks attractions

Wilmington, brings to light, the
first Kipling contribution to the
screen, "The Light That Failed"-
the celebrated novel of that name
having created a stir, when first
published some years ago. Robert
Edeson, the famous American dra-
matte artist, has been chosen to
portray the role of Heldar, the ar
fist, who loses his sight, during the
making of his masterpiece, the
wonderful planting his life's
work, and brilliant handling of the
role, again proves this great ac-
tors genius. Mr.. Edeson has him
self stated, that he was influenced
to such an extent, by the charac-
ter he was portraying, that he
quite forgot himself, and really
lived the broken life of the unfor-
tunate hero, a fact noticeable in
the scenes where 'the light fails"
"a rare bit of histrionic work.
