tn. wild Pigeon Mystery.

That the wild pigeon, once SO COM
mon in the United States, has become
extinct IL one of the strangest mystic
ries in American natural history. 1t is
puzzle which has baffled scientists and
which probably never will be solved.
Half century ago wild pigeons were
abundant in Pennsylvania, Ohio, 1ndi-
ana, Kentucky and all the states Of the
middle west. In their migrations they
Travelled In hocks numbering tens of
thousands, and 1t sometimes took sin
gle flock the better part Of an hour to
pass a given point. Vast numbers of
the pigeons were killed every year by
gunners, but many investigators hold
that the complete disappearance of the
species must have been due in part at
least to other causes. No other bird
was ever 30 numerous In this country
as the pigeon.

sorry Health Insurance.
Compulsory health insurance Is now
being talked of as another step in COM
munity welfare, the course being espe-
cially recommended in welfare work
among wage earners.
Investigation has shown that large
proportion of sickness is preventable,
but most persons, small wage earners
or not, are likely to neglect their all
ments until prevention is no longer
possible and serious illness must be
treated. Even then the doctors serv-
ices are avoided as much as possible
because of the cost. and the victim Of
disease goes back to his work before
he is TT
Under the compulsory insurance sys.
tenn it is the idea that every worker
shall be visited at stated intervals by
a physician whether he Is Ill or not;
the slightest illness brings call from
the doctor, whose business is to keep
him well II possible. In many cases he
will succeed. with the result of great
saving of time and wages to the worker.
The total of such savings in the in
dustrial centers will run into the mill
lions and will proportionately lessen
the demands on charitable funds.-In-

THE WAY TO SUCCEED.
Charles N. eohwab's Advice to Young
Men Starting to Work.

In his book succeeding With What
You Have" Charles NJ. Schwab says:
When took chlrge of tile Curne-
gle works at Homestead there was a
young chap employed there6a, water
boy. A little later he became clerk.
had habit of going over the works
at unusual hours, to see how every
thing was moving. ! noticed that no
matter what time I came around l
would find the former water boy hard
at work. never learned when he
slept.
Now, there seemed to be nothing
remarkable about this fellow except
his industry. The only way In which
he attracted attention was by working
longer hours and getting better results
than any one else. 1t was not long
before we needed an assistant super
intendcnt. The ex-water boy got the
job. When we established our great
armor plate department there was not
the slightest difference of opinion
among the partners us to who should
be manager. 1t was the youth with
the penclinnt for overtime service.
To-day that ex-water boy. Alva G..
Dinkey. is head Of great steel COM
pany and very wealthy. His rise was
predicated on his willingness to work
as long as there was any work to be
done.
IF young man entering industry
were to ask me for advice l would
say: Don't be afraid Of imperiling your
health by giving few extra hours
to the company that pays you your
salary. Don't be reluctant about put
ting on overalls. Bare hands grip
success better than kid gloves. Be
thorough in all things. no matter how
small or distasteful. The man who
counts his hours and kicks about his
salary Is a self elected failure.
ut may be In seemingly unimpor-
tant things that u man expresses his
passion for perfection, yet they will
count heavily In the long run. When
you go into your customary barber
shop you will wait for the man who
gives you little better shave, little
trimmer hair cut. Business leaders
are looking for the same things in
their offices that you look for in the
barber shop.
1.-THE real test Of business greatness
is in giving opportunity to others.
Many business men fail in this be-
cause they are thinking only Of per-
sonal glory"

without resenting 1t. Neither will the
other fellow permit you to treat him
shabbily without letting you know
what he thinks of it. Some days you
feel cross, cranky and irritable. And
did 1t ever occur to you that on these
very days you seem to see others as
others seem to see you? Did 1t ever
occur to you that others are bound to
treat you as you treat them? Take
this any way you want to. but take 1t.
