WHEN YOU sTART LOOKING FOR
WORK.


The saving Of time and strength are
two of the important subjects to which
sou should give attention in mapping
cut your business career, and the time
to begin saving time and energy is
right now, when you start looking for
a position, Try to realize that mo-
ments are golden, and that physical
strength-health-is a better asset
than any other upon which to build
success. a s usaU
Now let me explain a point here
When | say save time and energy .
I mean. rather, conserve time. Make
the best possible use of the hours, not
necessarily by crowding as much into
them as you possibly can but doing
the needful things in their proper
time. Similarly, with your strength
and energy. BY Saving" mean not
to exert yourself to the utmost capa-
city Of your strength, but to apportion
your strength to the Worthwhile
things In doing so. remember that
you are storing up energy and con-
serving strength lust as a storage
battery stores electricity.
Before you set out on your hunt for
work make up your mind that If you
meet with disappointment which
YOU probably will-the next day is
very likely to bring better fortune
and anyway you may take heart OF
grace in the thought that you are
breaking ground all the while
ground it may be. that will Yield you
rich returns in the future. when you
may need them even more than YOU
do now and when you least expect
them. You are getting a wedge into
the business world.
BE sure that you are dressed ap'
pGcpriately-that is to say, quietly
neatly smartly-and at every place
YOU apply. even though you may re-
cciye an unqualified mo" to your ap-
plication make as much Of an i'm

how soon there may suddenly be

Abolish Age Dead Line
Let Many Spanish War Veterans Use
Their Training
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir Now that it has become necessary for
the country to mobilize all its resources, Is
1t not good time to get rid of that hoary
superstition about the dead line" and give
the sound, trained man Of forty-fve n chance
DR.. Eugene Lyman Fisk of the New York Life
Extension Institute. recently made the state
ment that age is physiological, not chron-
illogical, matter. Time is a mere abstraction
which. in itself has no direct bearing on a
mans health. Yet We have an age test for
military servcc-a mere mechanical rule.
Why should there be anything but physical
and moral tests? If man s fit for duty,
what difference does il make whether he is
seventeen or seventy?
Youth, Of course. has greater agility than
maturity. and to that extent may have an
advantage in personal encounter with all
due respect 10 such veterans as Senator
LODGE, but modern warfare is not matter
Of personal encounters. On the other hand.
the disciplined self-rcstraincd man Of forty
five has a decided advantage over his youth
full comradc which is often overlooked and
that advantage lies in the fact that he has
lived long enough to know how to take care
Of himself. AT forty" runs the old proverb
"a man IS either fool or a physician" The
writer had six months experience in mill
tary camps during the Spanish war. Two
men of his company succumbcd during that
time both young fellows. The first death in
the company was that of man of twenty
two. who was the very personfcation Of
youth and exuberant health. In this company
we had a number Of old Guardsmen, few
of whom would never have been enlisted had
the age test been strictly applied. These men
were the last to yield to sickness.
All the men who enlisted for the Spanish
war at the age Of twenty-six years have now
reached the age limit and are barred from
service even in the reserves. For months
most of these men burned Uncle Sans pow
der at target practice to no purpose. We go
to the recruiting Office to-day and are turned
down. No use. for there is the discharge pa
per showing our age at the time of enlist
ment, and so to the recruiting officer it is
mere matter of arithmetic. We do not re-
ceye so much consideration as a horse, for
no experienced horse rider will turn down
the animal as unfit for service without first
looking at its teeth. Is a good horse so
rare and good man so cheap? THE horse,
his Importance more than human" said
Charles Sumner. speaking of the age of chiv-
airy. Is this still true in time of war?
put it to The Tribune and its readers:
Is this the way to mobilize our resources :?
Is this economy? Or, to put it in terms
which all Americans are supposed to under
stand, as it good business p" PRIVATE.
