MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS
Foolish Habit of Leaning on Others Is
One That Should Be Sternly
Repressed.

Most people who have succeeded in
any direction of activity can trace the
measure of their success to the habit
of deciding things for themselves. One
of the greatest temptations we have
is to confide in othersA by yielding to
1t we not only become n nuisance to
our friends but keep on lowering our
own powers of resistance. 1t is worse
than useless to ask the advice of 9th
ers, because they are rarely so much
interested in our troubles as we think
they are, or would like them to be. II
they were, they would havb to know as
much about our troubles as we do, to
pass judgment, and this we can not
tell them even If we would.
Sometimes indeed we may know too
much about our own troubles or in
such way that the continuous
thought of them puts them in the
wrong perspective; but this situation
is only made worse by adding the
confusion of another's mind to ours.
BY deciding everything for yourself
YOU make mistakes but every mistake
IS a valuable future asset. It is the
only way YOU can learn how. Learning
how Is very necessary. Unless you are
willing to do this and stand upon your
own ground. your permanent success
will be doubly iGicult.-Pictorial Re.

The building Of new apartments to

some to await the return of soldiers.
Fifty thousand are kept here on gov

interests. Another $4,000 have come
through the usual channels of migra-

Every new hotel is filled before the
