TRICKS OF ANIMAL HUMBUGS
Abundant Proof That Ceceitfui Acts
Are Accompanied by Conscious
ness Of Wronodoins.

In military stables horses are known
to have pretended 10 be lame In order
tn avoid going To military exercise
chimpanzee had been fed on cake
when sick. After his recovery he
often feigned coughing in order To pro.
cure dainties.
The cuckoo. as is we'll known. lays
It's eggs in another birds nest. and
to make the deception surer, it takes
away one of the other birds eggs.
Animals are conscious of their deceit,
as is shown by the fact that they try
10 act secretly and nOiseIessiy: they
show sense OF guilt if detected they
take precautions in advance to avoid
discovery; in some cases they mani
fest regret and repentance. Thus,
bees which steal hesitate often before
and after their exploits. as If they
feared punishment
A naturalist describes how his
monkey committed theft. While he
pretended TO sleep the animal regarded
him with hesitation. and stopped ev-
cry time his master moved or seemed
on the point OF awakening.

that most OF the men who had made a
study OF the conditions thought that
il would be one two or three years
before conditions returned 10 their

today.
His solution OF the labor question

1--WE NTORS

Why do so many inventors tall 10
financially realize on their inventions
/ II Is more often their failure to real
lZe certain very simple laws OF BUS
/ mess rather than the shrewd maIeuv.
erlngS OF others
/ There are three elements TO finan.
clal success from d new invention:
First, there is the Invention Itself,
then there is is its economical prouuc.
ton and finally the selling educating
people 10 buy IT and use it.
This means that those who supply
each OF these elements are entitled 10
share in the profits TO say nothing
OF those who finance the enterprise
and who may assume large risk on its
outcome.
More often the largest problem OF a
new invention is its sale--its introduc.
ton.
There Is frequently more time,
money, effort and sometimes more in
genuity displayed in marketing a de.
vice than in its original invention.
All of us are more or less conserva-
give about buying new devices and
adapting new ways and manners OF DO
ing things, and this tendency must De
broken down by educational advertis-
ing and personal craftsmanship.
Ii took more time anc money ana
effort to introduce the telephone into
one city than it did to invent it,
This was true with the sewing
machine-peopie first thought it a de-
vice OF the evil one 10 throw poor wo-
men out OF employment.
Up until the organization OF the IN.
ternational Harvester Co. a very large
part CT profits from the sale OF har'
vesters We're used in sales-inducing
farmers to use them.
Then, in cases where inventors are
in business control OF their enterprises
there is a tendency in them not TO let
their child alone
That is they spend their time and |
money in bringing out improvements |
faster than the device can De manu-
featured and sold.
They fail to market their inventions |
in a commercial state OF perfection,
but quantity production, sales and ad
vertlsing campaigns are held up await.
The first concern to manufacture
electric fans failed three times Tor this
reason, and did not succeed until
production manager was employed
who shut the inventor up in an expert
mental department and did not add
any OF his improvement until long ar.
ter the fans had been on the market
IN a standardized form.
As result the inventor made
enough out OF the enterprise IN ten
years to retire
The largest steel foundry in ONO
was built up around the invention OF
a certain type OF car coupler.
In the beginning it met with almost
failure, for the industry was
IN charge OF the inventor who used Il
large part Of his original capital IN
making changes, IN
new patterns and the romelting of
metal in an effort to improve upon his
original invention.
The success of the enterprise did
lot come until the inventor was re-
ieved OF the production, and changes
lot permitted IN his device faster
han it could be produced and sold.
