TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS
First Find the Kind of Work to
Which You Are Best Suited

A friend of mine who is as
good a man in his line as any
body in the United States stood
in my office a few days ago and
said a surprising thing. / had
been complimenting him on one
of his latest achievements. His
face lighted up as he remarked:
"Of course | got a lot of money
for that job; but, between you
and me, I'd do these things for
nothing if l couldn't get any
body to pay me for them. I'd
rather do them than eat. It's
ia shame to take the money.
Don't give me away, or they'll
be asking me to cut down my
price, and I'll be doing it."
That sounds like bunk. But
wait a minute. Think clear
through the proposition. This
man will never be cutting down
his price at all. 1t is exactly
the other waya round with him,
and he knows it. The truth lis
that his income goes on rising,
because those he works for keep
bidding for his services. WHAT
he meant was that he has found
the secret of progress and Ell
joyment-namely, a field of ac-
tivity to which he is suited and
in which he is so interested and
happy that he works as if he
were playing. No wonder he
performs miracles!
Naturally he is glad to have
the large sums of money he
earns. They are a sort of crude
measurement of his. efficiency.
They show in a rough way how
other people estimate his value.
But the main point is that ne
has found his niche and that he
concentrates ON his job for days
and weeks at a stretch. All his
thought is concerned with what
he can put into his work, not
what he can get out of it. Lucky
man!
The moral is simply this:

NOTES TO MOTHERS.

A conscientious mother says
Don't" at every opportunity.
The fact that the child pays no
attention merely goes to show
that he values his mother at
her true worth. Never fail to
slap a child on the slightest pro-
vocation. "a slap in time" fire.
quently places a child in the re-
form school, from which he may
graduate to the "pen." By all
means quote the sayings of your
child openly to your friends,
praising his "cuteness" and
teaching him current slang. Thus
you can hardly fail to raise a
"smart" youngster who will
prove the terror of your asso-
ciates. When your child is rest
less and unhappy, do not be SO
foolish as to show him how to
do useful things, but speak to
him sharply and give him mon
ey to spend. Don't let anyone
talk you into wasting time with
your children. There are pleil-
ty of friends without seeking
them under your own roof. Elk
pect of your child the self-con.
troll which you have never at
tanned, and you will wonder why
children are naturally so i'll

And so with the somewhat SINH
lar guesses being made today ii
the third year Of the war, with
the opening Of the fourth al
most in sight. For, as is evil
denced in the views that come
from the several foreign COM
missions now over here, no one
who speaks with any authority
believes that the war is ito end
soon.o Indeed, as in great
drouths so in great wars, all
signs fail, and it looks as if the
devolution of the great conflict
will take as long as it's evolu-
ton, which would put off peace
until 1919, or until 1920, or la
ter, if men like Hoover, who
ought to know, are good judges,
for, without any desire to be
too pessimistic, they are warn
ing this country against the
fatal faulty of thinking the war
is still beyond our bounds and
will be "an over" in the fall

AS TO WAR PROPHECIES.

In May, just two years ago,
when James J. Hill said the war
would end in October, 1916"
when Lloyd's, in London, quoted
odds of three to one against the
war ending before May, 1915,
while odds were even that it
would end before Sept. 1, 1915,
and Is to 1 that the end would
come before March 1, 1916, some
of the opinions of big men as
to the end of the war, then
printed, ran as follows:
Lord Kitchener, British Sec
rotary Of state for war, in Au-
gust, 1914: "The war will last
three years"
In October, 1914: "The war
will last two years.
Georges Clemenceau, former
French premier, Nov. 2, 1914:
"Of one thing alone | am GER
tain. The war will be long, per-
Laps very long"
Count Baschieri of France,
Jan. l, 1915. Germany will be
vanquished, the kaiser will COM
NIT suicide and peace viii be
declared on April 27.'
General Francois Joubert-Pie-
