Lifted bu Noth;no

IN ISPATCHES from Paris say that certain
J prominent French engineers are TAX
ing a deep interest in the claims of
two italian inventors who have made
lighter-than-air dirigible machine whose
buoyancy is derived not from a gas that is
lighter than air, but by the creation or
partial vacuum within the envelope which,
In the gas machine, constitutes the balloon
element.
Interesting, if true If this could be done;
if buoyancy in the atmosphere could be
achieved by the curious displacement of an
enveloped nothing, it would be a tremendous
advance from the inflammable gases which
lift dirigibles and eat into the envelope, and
burst inconveniently and fatally into flames
from electric sparks or other combustion.
The horrid disaster over Hull recently is
case in point But there arc certain prob
lens in the way of an enveloped nothing that
will float and lift weight in the air.
The main problem is the construction of a
container, rather an eXcluder, strong
enough to endure the pressure from the cut
side as the air is withdrawn from the inside
to degree of ratification sufficient to raise
the frame. The stronger the eXcluder the
heavier it must be- and the heavier It is the
more complete must the vacuum be made.
1t is a circular and interesting problem.
In the meantime there is an expensive
as-helium-which is non-nflammable and
about the equal of hydrogen at lifting.

tn BIG business man, who started out
in life as poor country boy and is
now worth millions, was talking the
| other day about people who arrive, and those
who never get anywhere.
| "The secret of success" he said, ''is enthu-
| siasm You have to put your heart as well
! as your back into your work to make go
of it. You have to love your job in order
! to turn out good job. You have to be in
terested in what you are doing before you lie
| awake nights thinking of better ways to do
| it. In all of my long experience have never
seen single individual make success of
anything in which he or she was not vitality
| interested.
"You can give bo and girl all the tech
| nical training that is possible to fit them for
certain career. They may have a natural
bent for the line you have put them ill., They
may start out under the most favorable aus
pices, and yet they will fail if they are not
interested in their job, and do not put punch
and pep into it.
"And you can't do that if what you are do
ing bores you to extinction. Nobody can win
out who is saddled down with the dead weight
of boredom. That is a fatal handicap that
makes you give up before you even start to
run the race.
you have got to believe with all the faith
that is in you that the work to which you
have set your hand is worth Ioing, and you
have got to have joy in doing it before you
can turn out the work that is valuable to the
world, and for which the world is willing to
pay.
Therefore, when 1 find one of my employ
es taking a real interest in his work, instead
of doing it like a hated and loathed task, I
Immediately begin to take interest in him
or her, because l know that he or she will be
pretty certain to make good. And I stimu-
late this interest by adding few thrills in
the shape of advance in position and sal
airy.
But I never bother with those who do
their work perfunctorily, no matter if they
are efficient. They will never go any farther.
They are just cogs in a machine. They will
never be dynamo that drives the bust
ness on.
There's nothing in the world as conta-
gious as enthusiasm-uness it is boredom
We catch the moods of those with whom we
come in contact and react to them. When |
go into a store to buy something and the
clerk looks as if he was about to weep be-
cause had disturbed his day dream, and he
shows that he doesn't care whether l buy or
not, nine times out of ten | don't buy. But
if 1 hit clerk who is OR his tip toes, and
who is as excited over helping me get what
want as if he were making me Christ
mas present, and who knows all about his
goods and why they are the best and the
cheapest for the money, he is dead certain
to sell me not only what came to buy, but
a lot of things I didn't know I wanted until

Facts Full of Business Cheer
-HAT eminent analyst of business CO.

THAT eminent analyst of business con-
ditions, the NEW YORK JOURNAL
OF COMMERCE, is convinced that
many curreLt statements touching the ex-
tent of unemployment and the consequent in
jury to the public's purchasing power are
mere gossip and exaggeration. 1t finds from
official surveys by the Federal Reserve Board
that the volume of retail sales during July
of this year measured in dollars, is but fiji
teen per cent below that of 1920, while prices
have declined to at least an equal and, in
some instances, a considerably larger extent.
Hence the conclusion: THE actual amount
of goods moving over the counters, it is rea-
sonable to infer, is great if not greater
than last year. Nor is there anything new in
these returns on the contrary, substantially
the same condition of affairs has been re-
vealed each month. There is, of course, some
variation from section to section, but certain
ly no well defined tendency is discernble
toward worse conditions in Industrial CEN
tiers, where unemployment would make it
self first felt
Certainly, with the volume of retail sales
as large in respect to goods as last year, if
not larger, it is erroneous to think of the
publiCs purchasing power as being material
Ay lIApdllCu, OltACl llOH uuSluplOy L1SuI VI
from any other cause Since prices are low
er the money volume is less, but the signifi-
cant fact is that the commodities are being
produced and being bought and sold;
therein lies the essence of the case, and the
cheer. Noteworthy in this connection is the
latest report of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta concerning retail trade in it's dis
trict. Stocks it says, "are twenty-one and
two-tenths per cent less than at the end of
July, 1920, but have increased one and five
tenths per cent over those IL hand at the
end of June. (The reference here is to repre-
sentative department stores.) The increase
an increase in sales during July by whole
sale dry goods firms. Compared with prices
prevailing year ago, present prices are re-
ported thirty-three and third to forty per
cent lower, and the report is general that
larger actual volume of goods is being
handled
Such are the facts; and though they bring
no warrant for high-piping, heady optimism,
there is doubling their message of sober
encouragement. All-sufficingly do they an
swer the pessimist who, picking out an in
suspicious circumstance here and there but
overlooking the larger aspect of the times,
gives himself over to gloom. When three
such factors as shortened stocks, lowered
prices, and steady buying power on the con-
sumers part all conjoin upon the eve of
harve5t-tide, the result is certain to be
quickening and an enrichment, felt from the
bases of production to the farthest frontiers
of retail trade.

it again this year. The evident fact that con-
gress is afraid to pass a law which would
legalize raids on home brewers has presum-
ably encouraged him.
So the question can be argued pro and
con. The fact remains that so far there is
little activity in the grape market. The prob
able reason is that the market is a vast and
unknown one which it is impossible to study.
Formerly it consisted of few large con-
Germs, which were sure to make wine and
grape juice and therefore sure to buy the
grapes. Now it consists of millions Of indi-
viduals, who made wine last year and may
make it again this year. Then again, many
of them may be too poor, and others may
have found some other way of obtaining the
beverages they want. Nobody knows what
those millions of amateur wine-makers are
going to do, and it is impossible to take a
census and find out. Therefore grapes will
probably come into the market slowly and
timidly, and the prices they fetch will be de-
termined, as the season advances, by the de-
mand for them.
A government expert who has watched
this whole drama of the grape and prohibi-
ton, predicts that the grape industry will be
ruined, simply by the decentralization which
has Overtaken it. Men are overcropping their
vineyards and running them. Men are plant
ing and buying vineyards as a speculation,
and in bad years many of them will fail. All
liability and certainty have been taken out
of the business, he argues.
On the other hand, it seems probable to
some that the business will tend to stabilize

he pointed out to me that life wouldn't be
worth living without them.
Il have found by actua, experience that
can dictate twice many letters, and twice
convincing ones to a stenographer who is
interested in her jon, and who is as keen
about the business as If it were her own, as
[ can to a iackadaiscal young lady, who
yaWns in my face every time | pause to
think, and who plainly shows that she doesn't
care a boot whether the whole work goes to
pot or not. She can get job somewhere else,
SO she should worry.
'Not only is taking interest in your
work the secret of success, it is the magic
that turns toll into play. Having a good time
is just doing the thing YOU enjoy doing, and
when you love your work, when you find your
chief pleasure in putting into it every bit of
the energy and brains God gave you, and
when you see the results come back in solid
achievement, why, you have got the best fun
that's going.
"You sitting in the big game where you
are matching your skill, your finesse, your
knowledge of men and events against the
strewdest men in the world, and that's real
sport, if you want sport. And if you are seek
ing adventure and romance, where else will
you find more of it than in the commerce
that sails the seven SEAS and establishes it's
trading posts on the very outskirts of the
world.
"a great deal is written about why women
do not oftener succeed in business, and rise
W nigh pldC0S Ill OIllC0S. Inc real answer Is
that women seldom take any interest in their
work. Their real interest is in catching a
husband, and they are only working until
they can marry.
That's why they more interested in
how they look than in the kind of work they
turn out. Whenever you find a girl who
takes the same heart-interest In her spelling,
and the neatness of the letters she turns out
as she does in the way she combs her hair,
you will find that she is somebody's priced
private secretary. And when you find sales
woman who is as interested and enthusiastic
about selling you the right hat as she would
be in picking out one for herself, you find a
potential head of a department..
And it's because women don't take any
interest in homework that they find it such
drudgery. Cooking is really one of the finest
arts, and a fascinating occupation if one go 8
about it intelllgently. Thrift can be made
sordid, or an interesting and exciting game,
just as you view it. Surely no woman could
desire higher or nobler career than develop
ing the minds and souls of her children. Yet
women complain of the dullness of domeStic
life. It's because they have not learned to
interest themselves in their work.

For Bachelors and Sb;nsters

TT SEEMS that in the impending revsions
Of the income tax cognizance has been
taken of practically every class of per-
sons with an income except unmarried per-
sons with small incomes-that is, the unmar-
ried persons seem to have been skimped al
most completely, but it is those with the
smaller incomes that would appear to merit
the most consideration.
The income tax mechanics at last have
grasped the fact that the average American
child cannot be supported with any degree of
effectiveness on an allowance of 5000 year;
and they have hiked the exemption materially.
But no consideration has been given the
blunt fact that a great many single persons
with small incomes are obliged to help their
relatives or connections in a manner not per-
uniting of exemption, and are taxed to the
limit.

REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR GIRL
BY HELEN ROWLAND

To the average man, the most intensely
interesting person in the world is not ''the
man of the hour" but 1.-The woman of the
moment
Love is usually based on a mutual mis-
Understandings lasts until one of us dis
covers his or her mistake.
The surest way to inspire a man to ask for
life interest in your heart is to let him
know that some other man has an option
on it.
The average wife spends her life in the
capacity of umpire" between her husband
and her mother-and she usually receives
from both of them all the tenderness and
gratitude that are bestowed upon an umpire.
True love Is what is left, after the glamor
has been brushed off of romance, and the
flame of passion has died down into the
steady glow of perfect understanding and
friendship.
Nothing seems to bore man SO much as
a woman who tries to please him; and moth
ings seems to fascinate him SO much as a
woman who succeeds in tormenting him.
AS long as a woman is willing to go on
uuarreling with man, she can go on forgiv-
ing him; when she ceases to have interest
enough left to reproach him, he can't even
forgive himself
When a man goes about patting himself
on the back and declaring that cts good
old world, after all!'' it is a sign that he
has either just gotten into an interesting love
affair." or just gotten out of an uninterest-
ing one.
After forty, the average woman clings to
her husband-if only as a souvenir of her
youthful conquests.
