Two Minutes
of Optimism,
By HERMAN j. ST1CH
Initiative
BY HERMAN J. ST1CH

Initiative" says Roger Babson IN
his compelling little book on Making
Good in Business" "is the driving
power Of life. One may be happy II ne
has only Industry and Integrity and In
telligence but he will never get very
far in business unless he also has lnitia-
tive. Initiative is to business. success
what gasoline is to an engine or coal
to locomotive. Men succeed In busi-
ness because they originate and do
things before being told to do them.'
And Roger Babson gives personal
incident which reveals in illuminating
fashion how Il was possible for
youngstcr, given up as hopeless In.
valid, to found what is probably the
largest and most vital statistical or
sanitation in the world. one relied upon
by bankers and hundreds Of thousands
of business men to help them gauge
what is coming next week, next month,
next year and so on.
Roger Babson is the ancient prophet
come to life. playing, however, not upon
peoples fear and frenzy, but with en-
| tightening figures upon reason. judg-
ment. faith, logic and experience.
"When / graduated from Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology" he
relates, "it was difficult to get job
I answered many advertisements, but
got no replies. Most Of the advertise
fnents were signed only by postoffice
box numbers 10 the advertiser would
not be bothered by the applicants"
At this point Bnbson gives his read.
crs this bit Of dope: Whenever ad-
yertiscments for help are signed by the
postofiicc box numbers that Is an indi-
Gator that business is dull and there
are many applicants for each position.
When this is true you will not be able
to bargain on the wage problem. When
advertisements for help are signed by
the name of the firm, you can rest as
surcd that business is good and the
applicants are few. When advertise
ments are signed this way you get an
interview with the would-be employer
and you can bargain on the wage PROP
lem TO an advantage.
However. to return to the STORY
Babson goes on to say that the posi-
ton he was seeking was signed by post
office box number. Finally, he says
he rot tired of writing letters to which
no REPLIES were received. and so wen
to the postofficc to find out who owned
Box 1910, which was the signature o

Girdles of the new crepe evening

folds are apt to be sown few brilliant

ping out the waistline Is through the
use of flowers of self fabric. Still an
other is the velvet ribbon of contrasting
