PICKING OUT A SECRETARY

Little Incidents sometimes start
successful men on their way to the
top rungs of the ladder, but generally
it is character that makes the incident
possible, as in this anecdote of Chas.
NJ. Hays, the builder of one of the
Canadian trans-continental railways.
A contributor TO Opportunity tells the
story:
In the beginning of big business in
railway history a man named Tai
mage became vice-president and gen
eraI manager of the Gould lines, with
headquarters sat st. Louis. Mr.. Tai
mage wanted a confidential secretary,
and proceeded TO choose him in his
own way. He went to the passenger
department to look over the clerks,
and found all of them except one
either chatting or watching the clock.
This one he approached and asked
the time. There was no answer. Rest
ing his hand on the desk, Mr. Tai
mage repeated the question. The
clerk came out of his preoccupatfon
and looked up with his pen in the air.
II beg your pardon" he said. s9Did
you speak to me-"
81 merely asked what time it is.
That was ALL" said Mr.. Talmage.
The young man looked round three
sides of the room and finally found
the clock on the fourth
"Eleven-fifty," said he. and went on
with his work
THANK you,ss said Mr.. Talmage,
and went away The next morning
Charles M. Hays, the clerk who had
to search for the clock, was in new.
place at the big mans elbow-Ex-

THE VALUE OF EDUCATION

agnes Scott College Bulletin)
Every day spent in college pays
you twenty dollars.
Here is the proof:
A young woman who graduates
from high school earns on the aver
age of $3.50 year for forty years, a
total of $4,000.
A graduate of good college for
women will earn on the average $500
per year for forty years, total of
$4,000
The difference in education requires
four years of about It's school days
each, total of 700 days.
If 700 days in college add $4,000
to the income for life, then each day
averages an addition of $40.
If you stay out of college to earn
less than $40 a day. you are losing
money, not making it.

According to the reviewer. 1917 was

Many ssnaAt private banks have been
absorbed BY their bigger brethren and
the latter have branched out in the

PRICE OF GRANT
AUTO INCREASED
Increase of $40 Is Announced
by Popular Motor Cor
pOratiOn.

A price increase Of $40 effective
April | was announced Yesterday by
the Johnston Motor Car company, To-
cal distributors of the Grant six. With
in the past year or two the car buying
public has become used TO the idea
of mid season price advances so that
they are accepted as q matter Of
course. but an advance of only $40 on
car selling at just over n thousand
attracts attention because 1t is so
small
1.-THE public is gradually getting over
its former belief that the, car manufac-
turer makes several hundred dollars on
each car produced says the local
Grant Six dealer But only those VINO
are on the inside Of the industry real
~ know how small profit the factory
and the dealer is willing to take on Il
car that is produced and sold on large
scale,
"The $40 advance on the Grant Six Is
evidence of this. 1t shows that If the
factory profit on its cars nhy be wiped
out by slight advance in costs, the
small profit can also be RESTORED by a
small advance. That's the reason why
the increase is $40 and not $50 or s75.
Cars like the Grant Six whose pro-
duction runs into the thousands are
built on close margin. The factory's
profit per car IL probably smaller than
the profit on any other manufactured
