the Virginia shipbuilding Corpora
tion, president of the Interstate
Builders Association. president OF
the Boy Scouts of America, vice
president of the American National
Bank.
Colin H. Livings tones job in this
world is being president. No doubt
about that. but just to have some
thing to think about all the time
he also is a director in about eight
other corporations than, those al
ready mentioned.
How does he do it? Livingstone
answers that himself:
Let details alone. Pick compe-
tent men to handle them. Success
on a big scale lies more in the
ability to put the right man in the
right place than any individual skill
or knowledge could accomplish for
a man. Once a corporation machine
is organized, with all the cogs ro-
tatiDg in unison, all the president
needs to do is push a button or
pun ilON anu AAth anu "a Int
| things easy"
1t isn't always necessary to have
even an intimate knowledge of the
corporations detail work, but Liv-
ingstone knows almost everything
about the businesses of which he is
the head. He helped former Senator
Elkins organize the Washington and
Old Dominion Railroad. known at
first as the Great Falls and Old Do
minion line He was instrumental IN
bringing the Virginia Shipbuilding
Corporation to Alexandra. and he
was one of the original organizers Of
the Boy Scouts of America, of whom
he has been president for ten years.
or since the scouts came into exist
ence
Though the Boy Scout presidency is
gratuitous job, Livingstone takes
as much interest in IL as in his other
well-payinG, positions.
In locating the Virginia Shipbuild-
ing Corporation at Alexandria, Liv-
ingstone can claim large credit. Be
tween three and four thousand work
men are employed in the big plant
with payroll of approximately
100000 a week.
Livingstone is 56 years old. He was
born at st. John. New Brunswick,
Canada, and was educated at Nc
Gill University. Montreal.
He began life as g newspaper re-
porter on the New York Herald, at
the time Roosevelt was running for
mayor. Livingstone covered" Ted
dy's unsuccessful campaign. and a
number of other things, and after
three months decided that he was
not intended to become a news
paper man.
He quit the Herald and returned
to college. at Gramercy Park
Polytechnic New York. to study
physics, chemistry and geology.
Shortly after completing this course
he became associated with Senator
Elkins, who at that time was en-
gagged in the development of the
coal mining industry OF West Vir-
ginia- That was in 1895. He re-
mained with Elkins in various ca
pacities until 1906. and in 1S04-05

Clarence Coefeld was out of a
job.
He had no money. no place to
sleep-in fact, he had nothing, not
even common sense.
He spent several days locating an
automobile tire when he could have
used that time to get job:
He swiped the tire from the base
ment of an apartment house and
sold 1t to a 'junkman for 40 cents.
With the money he bought part
Of square meal. And then he was
as bad Off as he was before.
Then he swiped a monkey wrench
and got enough for that from the
Junkman to buy a doughnut.
The cops looked around for sew
eral days for Clarence and the tire
and finally discovered both.
He had given the junkman a fake
address. He also told the man that
he was authorized by the janitor
of the apartment house to sell the
tire.
But the janitor denied it, and in
timated that IL he wanted anything
sold, he'd sell it himself.
Judge Mcmahon sent Clarence
down the river for a month.
