There are those who had no reli-
gious scruples about war less than six
months ago, today they are declaring
their religion will not let them fight
for their NATIONS existence.
AS you listen to men talk you find
it to be easy to detect the yellow in
know, are willing to die fighting for
the cause of human freedom. Such
men set PAGES for future races.
A squeaky door and a whining
man affect your nerves in the same
way. Both are disastrous to happi-
ness.
Be a pusher, plugger and plodder
and not clock watcher If you are de-
sirous of getting in the front ranks
Any of US will pass Tau Phi for
good fellow.
1t is remarkable how some men
have aged since war was declared,
against Germany.
Some young men are very proud
of their physical defects, and take oc-
casion to make the trivial defects
very prominent, since the call to
world service has been made. But the
best thing for you to do is to register,
and let your Uncle Samuel decide as
to your fitness.

graduated from one of our best uni
versities, but today could not write
a check that would be honored.
know a man who thirty years ago
could not write his name, but today
can write his name to a check and
have it honored for $4,000. Now
both of these things happened in spite
of liberty and handicaps.
Yesterday is Times refuse; today
is your opportunity, and tomorrow is
your hope.
You may know the difference be-
tween the Hydrostatic Paradox and
the Discourses of the Sophistics and
still be fool when it comes to max
ing an honest living.
True leaders wage war for the ages
and not for the paltry wages they re-
ceive. One of the biggest fool ma
tons that ever entered the mediocres
of society is that the size of the wage
is the index of a mans ability to do.
You may have fed your brains on
the past best thought, but unless you
can, out of this mighty maze, of ooze
and junk grow greater thoughts to in
spire you and those around you, you
may rest assured you are failure.
Your education at its best is moth
ing but kit of tools. Use now tells
US how important this boosted educa-
ton will be to the world
People do not fail because of the
lack of ability, but because of getting
tired soon after the start l know of
fifty young people who have sense
enough to do most anything they
might desire. They start well. They
are all enthusiasm. But soon the load
gets heavy, the strain makes the head
ache, and they spend much of their
time hunting excuses. They do not
like to pull. Now the whole trick of
success is keeping on. Remember
the pace is secondary. It will develop
as you go on. Lasting sticking power
IS so much better than speed.
l heard a young fellow whining the
other day, intimating that he deserv-
ed success. Now have been watch
ing him for six years, and before /
will take his estimate he must "shoW

gative qualities mean he does not
do this nor that-but up to now he
has failed to register but few of the

may know your rank by what you are
accomplishing.
