 POINTS SAYsH HLL|cK

The best route from Phoenix to Cali fornia points is via Ehrenberg, Blythe and Mecca. Motorists will find this route much better and more heavily travelled than the Parker route Such is the information brought back to Phoenix by Walter V. Zellick. who has just completed three weeks motor journey to California in an Oldsmobile light six. He was accompanied by his wife and two sons, Roy and Walter.
 Before starting from Phoenix, Mir Zellick was repeatedly warned about road conditions over first one routa and then the other After leaving Phoenix he encountered many motor ists who were returning from Califor- mia and who had only recently com- pleted trips over the different routes A big majority of thes advised him to take the Ehrenberg road, claiming that he Parker cutoff road was not as good as the first mentioned It was then that Zellick determined to try the Ehrenberg road and found 1t so good that when he made the return trip he took the same route.
 About two weeks were spent by the party in Venice. Leaving Venice, tfey drove over the coast highway to San Diego to view the Pacific fleet. They report a veritable endless procession of thousands of cars travelling between Los Angeles and San Diego. carryin.s : the fleet sightseers A short run was made to Tia Juana, Mexico, the road being paved directly to the border.
 The return trip was made through Riverside and Banning. The run to the coast can easily be made in twu days from Phoenix. claim the Zellicks. The road is exceptionally good, they state, with the exception of distance of 20 miles between vicksburg and Ehrenberg, which is quite rocky, but easily negotiable. The performance of their Oldsmobile was perfect. and no trouble of any nature was expert enced with the exception Of one pune ture.

iF you WERE YOUR BOSS, WOULD

Are yoa trying to see how much you
can get from your work, or how much
you can put into it?-
The man who refers to his work as
a "job" usually has his eyes only as
far ahead of the next raise.
For 1t Is a law as old as Time itself
that you can get from a thing Just
what you put into 1t.
Yet there are many who think that
they can stack the cards. but 1t is only
themselves who are cheated.
For surely you do not expect to be
paid more than o are worth-that
would be only a public form of theft.
And don't be too sure you are worth
more than you are getting. We are
very prone to see such things from
our own angle. Face the facts. How
much revenue are you really produc-
ing for your firm? Are you turning out
all the results possible in your work
ing hours?
Some day Just keep track OF where
the time goes.
Divide the time up into five minute
periods, and make q note of when you
start each piece OF work and when you
finish It.
Be honest about It. II you waste ave
minutes talking to the man across the

COMMON SENSE
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS.

The truest thing ever said about
Common Sense Is that it isn't Common
And yet the only reason In the world
why Common Sense Is so Is
that 1t Is used so little. In this con.
n%ection, 1t is well to remember that
the thing most useful is the thing most
used.
Give your Common Sense something
to do.
Now, Common Sense is just making
use of your natural best judgment, and
keeping 1t keen by putting 1t to test
often. Common Sense is a brother to
Self-Reliance. Common Sense is In.
herited Capital. Common Sense can
hardly be acquired, though it grows
great at the hands Of Experience. The
Common Sense thing to do Is always
the Natural thing to do.
Give your Common Sense something
to do.
You have Common Sense to a greater
or less degree. There is only one way
to find out to what degree you possess
this wonderful gift, and that Is to
keep using Common Sense In your life
and business. Results will prove Its
caliber. Trust your Common Sense.
Its quality may be finer than the finest
jewels or metal, as was Franklin's and
Lincoln's, and thousands such as they.
And If you use the Common Sense al.
lotted you, you will learn that 1t is
greater In value than Money Capital,
College ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS greater than
anything possible to earn or be given.
Give your Common Sense something
to do.
Let the Common Sense build you up
and carry you on. Let 1t have a say
and he a power In your life at critical
times. Give your own Common Sense
