The Elegy of A Cat

A cat up at Hardw;ck, this state, which
was affectionately named Brother" by his
devoted mistress, with whom it is said he
travelled over 10000 miles in Pullmans, is
dead at the age of 16 years. Although many
fearful Vermont newspaper accounts say,
Br other" succumbed in Albany, the OBJ
sequies were held in Hardwick, where, it
is further alleged, Brother" now sleeps
peacefully in metal casket.
How different the fortunes, even Of cats.
There are countless harems of the same
breed as Brother established in this
neighborhood and not one member of that
whole colony could distinguish between
Pullman and meal ticket. Yet they live
on and on despite the fact that groups Of
kindly disposed residents have been hurl-
ing death-dealing missiles at them these
many years with no better results than
the good that comes from the violence Of
the physical exercise incident to their cat
antipathies. Which seems to justify The
Banner office boys statement, namely,
that he's sure the youngest cat hereabouts
is way morn 16 years old.
The moral of it all is this, and Jealous
mistresses will please take note; If one
passionate'y loves her cat and is intent to
prolong his usefulness beyond the 16 year
limit, the dear brothers should be kept
aloof from Pullmans and bulldogs. Or
better still, if one is anxious to postpone
the death tragedy indefinitely, send BROTH
er into hostile district. such as that in
which this office is located, where the dem
liens are as ineffective as they are Zero.

People who have the same ideals

stantly that everywhere men shall be
free from political oppression and
from poverty and all the. attendant
crimes and sickness. The most seri-
Gus obstacle to all these things is men
themselves. Bad-hearted men will spoil

Why the Old Cow Died

Something to
Think about
THE JOB AND THE MAN
BYE. A. Walker
ByF. A. Walker

NNE of the greatest troubles with
" the average man Is that he does
not get excited frequently enough.
Excitement is only MULTIPLIED
ENTHUSIASM.
The man who lacks enthusiasm
doesn't get far, whatever road he trav-
els.
One of the chief faults Of a snail is
that II never has the sensation of ex-
element.
II crawls along In seemingly aim
less fashion. and having reached the
nowhere for which II was headed, II
stops to contemplate its effectiveness.
Nobody Is ever interested in a snail.
and only the dullnrd copies him.
If you want to see enthusiasm and
excitement in animal life. watch an
ant. Everything interests him. Every
thing has meaning for him. Every
thing he sees or feels is matter Of
Investigation and study.
He Is excited all the time and ac-
compllshes something every minute.
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1921-03-10

Every boy and every man ought to
be excited about what he Is doing.
He should be so intensely interested
In II, so thoroughly in love with the
task and its accomplishment. that Its
finish should hnd him thrilled with
enthusiasm.
Can you imagine Edison working
without enthusiasm and excitement
Can you conceive the feverish eager
ness with which Calico worked
through the night on that first crude
telescope and with what excitement
he took his first look through II toward
the far-off stars2 Yet that telescope
was not as powerful as the operu
glass you carry to the theater.
Can you imagine with what excite
ment Nine. Curie looked upon the
first tiny speck OF radium which che
had distilled from the tons of mate
rial which concealed It?
THE GLORY OF LABOR is IT'S
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
The real wages of work Is the salts
faction of production.
The man who makes n machine OF
himself, who finds no interest and no
basis OF enthusiasm In his daily task
is little better than the OK.
There is no labor so meninl and no
task so hard that II has not In 1t u
reason for enthusiasm.
| The scrub woman whose knees are
| calloused and whose arms ache from
her lowly labors may still find dis
tinct pleasure and an actual enthusi-
asm when she sees the gllstening
cleanliness accomplished by her hands.
The teamster can he enthusiastic
about his horses and his wago-.. The
Office boy can get excited about the
| rush of business where he Is employed.
Everybody has some reason TO Get en-
thusiastic and excited about their
work. II they have no reason they
are either following the wrong voca-
tion or they are looking on the world
and Its dolngs with distorted vision.
II your present work doesn't en-
thuse you. II you cannot get excited
and happy about II, find something
else to do. Get another Job. Find
something that will stir you up and
rouse your mind and hurry your fingers
and leave you. when the day Is done
anxious for tomorrow and the bigger
accomplishment that It will make pos
sible.
Don't be content to be snail.
A SNAIL NEVER GETS ANY
WHERE.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How TO Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
WOMEN IN BANKS
By JESSIE ROBERTS

THE big banks and trust companies
L are beginning 10 put women into
important positions. And the girl just
out of college who is looking for a
job may find II well worth her while
to interview a banker as TO getting a
start. She will have TO begin at the
bottom, but she stands an excellent
chance to get well up TO the top.
Take the case Of a woman who has
recently been made assistant secre-
tary to the New York Trust company.
Her special work will be to assist the
clients OF the company to prepare their
personal budgets, and to advise mi
nors In the charge Of the company
now best to manage their allowances.
There Is real opportunity for women
who are capable OF II to do very valu-
able and well-paid work In this line.

TREES BEAUTIFY OUR ROADS
Enthusiasm Displayed All Over coun.
try In Campaign for "Roads Of
Remembrance"

Motor travellers all over the coun-
try have stimulated contagious in
terest in planting trees by the road
sides. The Federation of Womens
Clubs, which was one Of the first ma
tional organizations to assist In this
work, has planted many trees along
sections of the Lincoln highway,
writes Victoria Faber Stevenson In
Sinclair's Magazine. Today 1t is beau
tifying many roads by planting trees
I'm memory of the men who served in
the World war. In fact, enthusiasm
for roadside tree planting is evident
all over the country In the widespread
interest which Is taken in "Roads of
Remembrance"
Patriotic and civic organizations,
women's clubs and boy scouts units
are providing miles of roadway with
young oaks and elms. These sturdy
trees, which will perpetuate the men,
ory of the men who took up arms for
America are also giving the roads
beauty and individuality.
Perhaps the most unique work of
this character which Is reported by
the American Forestry association Is
being done In Georgia around the city
of Macon. There the woman's auxll-
iary Of the chamber Of commerce Is
planting a huge cross of trees In hon.

TO war from their vicinity.

convict labor and statute labor, the
value Of which, not definitely known,
is estimated at about $132,000,000. SO
far as possible, all expenditures on
city streets within Incorporated towns
and cities and all items of sinking
fund payments or the redemption and
interest payments on road and bridge
bonds have been excluded.
The road and bridge expenditures
for 1919 show an increase of approx
mately 33 1-3 per cent over those of
1918 and 20 per cent over those of
1914. More striking, however, Is the
Increase In the proportion of the to-
tai funds supervised by the several
state highway departments. In 1918
the expenditures by or under the su-
pervision Of the state highway depart
ments amounted to $117, ,2S5. .26S, while
the local road funds, over which they
exercised no control whatever, amount
ed to $16S,S12,925. In 1919, however,
the state highway departments super.
vised the expenditure Of $500, ,292 1894
as against the total Of $3.50, ,163, ,237
expended by the local road and bridge
authorities.

her opinion Is that 1t Is work wom-

Any girl who has leaning toward

AUTOS PUNISHED
ON STEEP HILLS
II Is Not Necessary to Take All
Of Difficult Grades While
'in High Gear"
DONE SOLELY FOR ROASTING
Practice Imposes Hardest Kind Of
Work on Engine and Every Other
Part OF Car Low Gears
Should Be Employed.

The high gear hill climber Is first
cousin to the scorcher, and both are
bound TO become wiser as time goes
On, says II. o. Allen, writing In Amer
lean Motorist on the folly OF driving
notorcars up steep hills in high gear
solely for boasting purposes.
Continuing Mr.. Allen says:
II fully understand that the modern
automobile is made to climb almost
anything but trees. But wish to
demonstrate that to climb steep hill
on the high gear imposes the hardest
kind OF work not only on the engine,
but also OH every other part Of the
car. The low gear ratios are provided
for hill climbing and they should be
used for II.
Work Of Automobiles.
"It may be well here to consider a
work performed by an automobile
climbing n gradient on, say, gear
ratio OF three to one. A ratio Of three
to one means that one revolution of
the rear wheels Is produced by three
revolutions of the engine shaft. With
the lower gear ratio. the intermediate
and the low. the number of engine
revolutions becomes still greater as
compared to the number of road-wheel
revolutions.
at II not so difficult TO compute with
exnctness the distance which car Is
hxt IN no
gine cylinder and the power consumed
In hili climbing. The circumference
OF n 32-inch wheel is approximately
100 inches. and In covering one mile
as fast ms the rond wheels, II will re-
quire 1880 revolutions OF the gear
shaft to propel the car one mile. Thus
II such car should proceed at the
rate OF 80 miles per hour approximate
ly $50 engine revolutions per minute
are required. With two power strokes
at every revolution there are 1900
revolutions per mile and each explo-
sion propes the car one foot and four
and half inches.
Resistance Added.
"rhls estimate assumes that the car
be propelled over level ground. To
mount a hill simply means that grade
resistance Is added to the various frIc-
tional and other stresses. An automo-
bile weighing 1000 pounds climbing a
hill 200 feet high (measured vertical
| ly) simply performs the task Of over
coming the action Of gravity or lift
ing, and the calculation Of the pow
er required to do this must involve
| the factors from which the horse
power unit is derived. To lift 1000
pounds zoo feet high In one minute Is
the same thing as lifting 1000 times
200 or 100000 pounds one foot
high In one minute. Theoretically.
then. the lifting OF 1000 pounds 200
feet high requires 100000 divided by
$4,000 equals 1912 horsepower. and
the losses through friction. air resist
ance. etc, consume the remainder of
the theoretical horsepower output.
"From all OF this It must become ap-
parent that rushing up a steep hill on
the high gear must subject any car
to enormous stresses. which are likely
to affect the life and service OF the
car to a considerable degree"
