You can always spot beezarS who
has been bitten by the vacation fly.
The species is easy to detect around a
railroad station, where the trains I'M
load EN-. suit cases and all. The man
who is convalescing from a vacation
sticks out like an umpire's thumb. He
walks with his chin down on the
fourth button of his last white vest,
if the hotel hounds left him a vest /:
chin where it belongs The taxica o
sleuths spot him for any remaining
change. His ears usually twitch fool
ishly at the first hint of additional
expense and his elbows flap stupidity
in the languid city breezes as he
sinks back home from the cruel
summer resort to the simple home
eating.
He has been to the seashore and he
was shown.
Any time you see a duke with a
downcast expression and an empty
look around the eyes, don't send for
the doctor, send for the coroner and
save time. That poor cuss is getting
ready to drop off of the earth and is
just looking around for a convenient
place to jump. He has been away for
a rest and needs an ambulance to
carry MIN home
Escaping from a vacation is a major
operation which should not be per-
formed without smelling salts. In the
first place the patient should take a
good, long rest before returning to
work. Vacations play havoc with the
whole system. from your corns to
your dandruff. and the victim should
not attack his regular duties without
long periods of relaxation and refiec-
ton between diluted doses of druid
gerry. Really. the most fortunate dis
aster which can occur to a bird who
is just emerging from a holiday is to
get struck by an accident. Having to
face a future Of task and fatigue
after two weeks Of painless poise is
not to be thought OF twice as against
a short. swift ride to the hospital, and
then some nice, neat obsequies-with-
out flowers.
The man who donates himself a
vacation is doing so at his own risk.
He may never recover sufficiently to
40 an honest days loafing. When he
finally comes limping home his aspi-
rations are SO impaired he is too lazy
to play the victrola-he's even too
lazy to listen. No one gets SO much
agony out of work as the guy who
has spent two weeks in the woods

"A DECISION

And that decision may greatly in

Your future depends on what you
do today The most important ques-
ton that confronts young people is
how to make the most of today so
that in later years you will not be
compelled to live a life of drudgery
and dependence.
1t is a question that must be fac

step it,
Why not stop now long enough to
think about it seriously? Many do
not realize the value of an educa-

it in your power to choose the way
you will go. You must either secure
the education and training while
you are young that will enable you
to earn good salary or to be man

face the disagreeable prospect of de

skilled labor for a livelihood
The answer to the question of
your future is easy. It is simply
one of preparation. You must get
an education-the business education
is the shortest and surest path to
success. 1t is the education that
will help you to take advantage Of
opportunities for getting ahead.
There is no education or training
