To AMBITIONS VOICE
Desirable Companion May Fail to Call
Again If She Is Not Accorded
Recognition.

Most young people seem to think
that ambition is a quality that is born
in one and which cannot be materially
changed, but the greatest ambition may
be materially injL -sl in many differ
n ways. The habit of procrastina-
tion, of p~ostponing, the habit of pick
ing out the easier tasks and putting
off the difficult ones. for example. will
very seriously impair the ambition.
Whatever affects the ideals affects the
ambition.
Ambition often begins very early to
knock for recognition. If We do not
heed its voice. If 1t gets no encourage
ment after appealing to us for years,
1t gradually ceases to trouble us, be-
cause, like any other unused quality or
function, 1t d~eteriorates or disappears
when unused.
Be careful how you discourage or
refuse to heed that inner voice which
commands you to go forward, for IL
you do 1t will become less and less in
sistent until finally 1t will cease to
prod you and when ambition is dead

Taxing the MmIlenalres.

Under the new scale of income tax
imposed by the recent United States
wen bill every citizen in receipt of
$4,000 or more a year must pay at
least half of it to the state.
Mr.. Henry Ford. for example. is said
to have an income of $25,000.OOO a
year. of which the authorities
will claim between S~15,0O0,0OO and
$4,000, OOO-a sum sufficient to keep
1000 families in modest comfort for
ever.
But even Mr.. Ford gets off lighter
than Mr.. John d. Rockefeller, who is
reputed to have an income of $780,
100000 a year. Mr.. Rockefeller's
contribution to the treasury. 1t is said,
will not fall short of SS0.000,000 for
the current year-a sun which repre-
sents 1000 times his weight in gold.
