BRASS OUTPUT
IS INCREASING
Detroit Concerns, Although
Doing Better Than Outside
Competitors, Short Supplies

Detroit is one of the biggest brass
manufacturing centers In the Unit.
ed States today. Many tons of cop
per arrive here by boat and train
every day to be turned into the
alloy which has become such a
great necessity In trades and many
other fields.
Supply companies handling brass
specialties made elsewhere are not
in a position to make any promises
because shipments are so uncertain.
But the Detroit companies have
met the situation better than out.
side competitors. although under
difficulty. The immense amount
OF brass being used in the manu-.
facture of munitions is responsible.

EQUIPMENT
RULES CAREER
Success Or Failure Depends On
Use Man Makes of Training
Says Anna Carroll
BY MRS. ANNA A. CARROLL.
PhiIade Iphia, Pa.

PnlIaoeIpnlS, fd'
There are many who claim that
man can only qualify along the lines
Of his natural development or tai
ents. II this be true. IT IL a great
loss OF time and energy for him TO
study methods that he is mentally
unable 10 execute. II this claim be
acknowledged fallacy, and man
can develop power TO apply these
splendid rules TO his business,
should he not be given some scien'
tific rules TO train his power or
mental faculties to apply them?
The rise and fall, the success and
defeat OF the individual depend not
on the forces around him. but on
the degree OF preparedness OF the
man As the thoroughly equipped
ocean liner can ride the waves OF
the sea, and successfully make her
port. while the Trail bark gees down
in the surges, so men have success
fui or unsuccessful careers accord
ing 10 their equipment. IL Is not
their store OF information or know
ledge, theories or fCregonc conclu'
sions that can act as ballast for
them. any more than the number OF
passengers on board the great ship
can propitiate the elements that war
against her.
The contention today with many
people Is that men use all the men
tai power that has been given them.
and that all we can do Is 10 work
the new faculties that our defective
education has developed in US. This
is not true.
Almost every child is born into
the world with the capacity for
splendid moral and mental develop
ment. We cannot with i1athcmati'
cal percision measure the possioili'
ties Of the marvellous faculties that
have been given 10 man. For this
reason there are men for whom edu-
cation and knowledge have rot made
a success, because their education
never contained aIIy significant ele-
ment Of sense training.
