Why Busy People Have Leisure.

They say that the busiest people
have the most time to give in service
to others, can turn clear attention to
a new subject at an instants notice.
This is simple because the busiest
people, the ones who are accomplish
ing the most, have learned the art OF
prompt action, of quick dismissal OF
what has to be done. They can give
you at any moment undivided atten-
ton because their minds are clear and
ready.

TIME TO BANISH "KNocKER"
FauItfinders Can Best Serve the coun-
try at Present by Maintaining
Silence, Declares Writer.

At all times he is a despicable
character, but especially at such a
time as this. In normal times he
may possess some slight value in
awakening the Indifferent from their
lethargy; in times of pressure and
emergency like the present his only
possible service would be silence, says
Milwaukee Journal. We refer, of
course, to the ever-present "knocker,"
that creature who is continually tell
ing how something might have been
better done, after it is done who al
ways overlooks a hundred virtues to
get at single fault; who, like de-
structive child, finds his pleasure in
tearing down what others have
builded.
The task of the "knocker" is an
easy one, for it is hard to find article
or individual that is criticism per-
feet. The fault-fnding mind finds it
easy to ferret out some imperfection
in everything on which it focuses
especially in those things about
which it knows least. For it is char
acteristic of this type of mind to ex-
press itself with authority on all sub
jects.
There is room for the constructive
critic at all times; he is helping to
build up. The ''knocker" can be
tolerated in normal times, but he
must be silenced in times like these,
not because his criticism is well
founded, but because it requires
some ones precious time to reply to
it. Let's down the ''knocker."
