Good Business Is
Good Service, Says
Rotarian Speaker
Urges Burbank Principle
1.-TWO Thoughts Where
One Grew Before"

Like sensible business men not too
old to learn. the members of the Ro-
tary Club who attended the weekly
luncheon yesterday noon at the Hotel
McAlpip settled down to get few
tips from Robert G. Wall, who makes
business of teaching business sue
cess.
"The science of business is the sci
ence of service" he told them, which
was almost a restatement of the Ro-
tartan motto: He profits most who
serves best"
Brief appeals for the Red Cross had
just been delivered by two Canadian
officers, Major Matheson, who spent
a year and half in the trenches near
Ypres before the relief organizations
the slaughter there, and Lieu
tenant Richardson, who lost his
right leg at Vimy Ridge because medi-
cal attention reached him too late.
Liberal contributions resulted from
the appeals OF the soldiers, and then
the representatives Of the city's varied
activities turned to consideration of
their own work.
Your most patriotic service to day
is to increse your efficiency to the
point of highest productivity" de-
clared the speaker. "Your share in
answering the great questions of the
kour-the production, preparation, con-
servation and distribution of necessi-
ties in ever increasing quantities and
at minimum cost and effort-demands
trained efficiency"
He then showed by figures, based on
statistics, what the chances are for
marked success. OF any one hundred
men twenty-five years old. chosen at
random, only one achieves wealth in
forty years, he said If the roll of
those hundred men were called when
they should become siXty-five years of
age, thirtysix would be dead, fifty
four "broke" or financial failures, five
barely able to make both ends meet
four prosperous, and one rich.
And having presented these figures
he told why some men fail to attain
business success" which was his sub
ject.
"1he average man doesn't generate
more than 10 per cent of his brain
power nor more than 80 per cent of his
physical power" was his conclusion, in
agreement with the late Professor
James. the famous psychologist.
Mr.. Wall said that his aim in life
was the mental equivalent of the Lu-
ther Burbanks in horticulture: 81
want to make two thoughts grow
where one grew before"

Women Urged To
Enroll Tomorrow
AS Patriotic Duty

The last call for women voters to en-
row was issued last night by Miss Mary
Garrett Hay, chairman of the Woman
Suffrage party. The polling places
will b. open from 1880 a. m. to 10:3
p. m. All women are urged to enroll,
for this act carries with it the priv
ilege Of voting in the primaries Sep
tember 3.
Miss Hay issued a series of ten
"don'ts" for women, as follows:
DON'T be political slacker-a political
Stacker is patriotic Stacker. More and
more the men are called to the front.
Women must do good work in the parties
that all may be well when the men re-
turn. Voting is as patriotic as sewing
for the Red Cross selling Liberty bonds.
DON'T fail to enroll on May 25. Don't
ber 8. Help the parties. Help the gov
ernment. Help democracy.
DON'T fear to enroll in political
party because you think yov may sur
have to vote for every one of its candi-
dates-you can vote split ticket, as
many citizens do.
DON'T neglect the primaries and then
complain because better candidates are not
nominated. Don't be howler-be
helper.
DON'T hold aloof from the parties be-
cause you think women will thus have
more power. Service. not power. should
be your watchword
DON'T think that the parties are COM
posed entirely of politicians Your hus-
bands, fathers, brothers and in
them. Join with them for political bet
terment.
DON'T forget that we won the ballot
through the votes of the men. Let us try
to help them to solve their problems
through the parties.
DON'T fail to make the record of the
woman voter of the city good one. for
the eyes of the country upon her. and
the disfranchised women of other states
will profit or lose by what she does.
DON'T forget that you can learn much
from men by assocating with them in the
parties.
DON'T take advice from any one about
what party you should join. Study party
platforms for yourselves and make con-
scentious decision.
The leaders Of the woman Suffrage
party are making strenuous efforts tc
get out q big enrolment Meetings
have been held in settlement houses
churches and schools and circulars have
been distributed in all the foreign
languages to- women whose husbands
have been naturalized. Miss Hay has
sent an enrolment circular to every
woman in her own district and other
prominent suffragists have distributed
circulars.
