Millionaires Everywhere

likes details. if he likes figuring. If
he likes to pore over accounts. If
he thoroughly enjoys doing these
things. then he should become a
bookkeeper or accountant. If a man
enjoys ministering to peoples all
a man enjoys speaking in public and
continues to practice it he will be-
come a public speaker.
In fact. the solution of not only our
industrial ills lie in finding what
each of us likes to do; in finding the
opportunity to do it, and then doing
it with all ones might. The fact is
that, if any one has given consider
able time to any employer. that one
will probably be better off to stay
with that employer. If any one has
devoted considerable time to given
industry that one no doubt Will be
considerably better off to stay with
that particular industry: If any one
has established a reputation in a
given city his chances of success
should be greater in that city where
good reputation has been estab-
lished than in unknown fields. If any
one has devoted considerable time to
a given profession his opportunities
are greater in that profession about
which he has some knowledge than
in some other profession of which he
is uniformed. Your and my individ-
ual success lies in the thing that we
are now doing. 1t is based upon how
faithfully we prosecute the work at
hand.
Rich Boy Handicapped.
Sometimes we hear the remark that
the opportunities for the young man
are not as great today as they were
years ago. Statistics show that this
statement is absolutely wrong. Not
only wrong, but that the opportunl-
ties are even greater today than they
were years ago. l will go step fur
ther and say that the opportunities
for the poor mans son are even
greater than those of the rich. Let
me illustrate.
In connection with the study of
Americas greatest industries men,
toned above. I became interested in
the head Of these industries. There
were seventy especially prominent
ones. This study showed that
Americas greatest railroad builder.
Edward E. Hartman. was the son of
a minister; that Americas greatest
magazine editor, George Horace Lori
mer, was the son of a minister; that
Americas greatest administrator, Her

ister The study also showed that E.
II. Gary, n. L. FLICK, JOlu u. INoChc-

all sons of poor farmers.
Were the fathers of these great
captains of industry college gradu-

great captains of industry bankers??
No Were they rich manufacturers
and merchants? No. These great cap
tainS of industry, these men who
have built Americas greatest rail-
roads, factories and stores, are the
sons of poor parents-the sons of
farmers and ministers and wage
workers. The statistics of this par
ticular study even show that the great
majority Of these industrial builders
were the sons of parents whose in

year. If the captains of industry of
the past quarter of a century came

PUTTING ON WEIGHT.

We talk so much here about reduc- ing flesh that I sometimes think dhe thin woman must feel herself terribly neglected, particularly because it is so much more difficult to gain flesh than to lose is
 To gain flesh if you are too thin, means that you must overcome any number of obstacles. You must stop worrying. if you belong to the worry ing type; you mu94 stop rushing about nervously if you are neurot1c: you must make yourself rest if you are l restless, and you must run the risk Of l indigestion by eating more than you want.
 My sympattdes are all for the thin
 woman. It is much harder to force
 oneself to take a nap than it is to do without one, and it is much harder to
 eat food you do not want than it is to
 turn away from the fatten1ng dishes
 that tempt you. However, here are a few hints which the thin woman will | find of great value:
 | . Where you have a, choice of food all ways eat the fattening dishes. Eat | thick soups in preference to thin ones, eat the fat portions of the meaz, par
 take liberally of sauces, and eat sweets
 and pdddings as much as you can | without overlooking the stomach.
 This is the gretat danger in getting
 fat, for undigested food Is only an
 added tax on the system. Eat as
 much butter as you possibly can and
 stead of coffee with hot milk in it,
 drink a cup of ho. milk with 8, little coffee added This tastes quite as good and is quite stimulating.

Seek Economic Conference; Do Not Mention of Indebtedness

(Continued from Page One) disarmament is concerned he dec1ar- ed that all of the arguments made by Britain for large navy applies to France and he announced himself aS opposed to Great Britatn's sugges- ton that all submarines should be junked.
 M. Briand showed a flash of tenn per when he was questioned as to the possibility of the French war debt being discussed at the conference.
 ''The point has not been brought up by any one else and 1t certainly will not be brought up by France" he said. Tt would be the most unsuit able possible matter to discuss now. for-and besides, why should it be mentioned? France entertains no thought except to pay her debts and pay them all in full, asking nothing Of any one"
 The conference proposed by Euro pean statesmen would include not only the nations that are now par ticipaung in the conference but also Germany, the smaller states of Gen. tral and Eastern Europe, and possi- ply Russia. In a word it is a, world economic conference that is being quietly suggested here in Washington while the work of cutting navies and ironing out Pacific and Far East dis putes is In progress.
 The success of the project is contin- gent upon Americas willingness to participate, adnctnlSIrAl1On oLI-c1sliS have been informed. Being possessed of +wo-thirds of the worlds tota available supply of gold, being the richest nation in resources in the world, and being the greatest creditor naton ir the world. the attendance | of the United States is absolutely es l sentta1. Without American partici | patton the undertaking would be 2 1 futile meeting of impoverished debt | ors.
