YOUR OWN WAY

You can learn much philosophy and knowledge Of human
nature by watching simple incidents. For instance:

consciously began stroking their chins.
One spoke up, praising a second make OF razor. Another
pooh-poohed, he used a third make-fgo it all over the others.
leadership. Each claimant firmly believed he was right, tae
rest wrong. They appealed to the seventh passenger-econom-
ical of conversation, smoking quietly IN the corner with ms
hat over his eyes.
stNone of you is right, ;" he announced, knocking the ashes
out of his pipe. "I use the only REAL razor-the old-fash-
toned straight blade without any safety guard"
The argument was carried to the porter, supreme Judge
of many a Pullman argument.
The porter chuckled and said: 81 don't see it makes any
difference. The important point is that each OF you. no
matter what kind of razor you use, comes out with a clean
shave"
You sit down in a restaurant and ponder the ~bill-of-fare.
Finally you order. Ask the waiter and he'll tell you that,
except where there's a straight table dhote dinner for a
fixed price, no two persons in a large dining room order
exactly the same meal.
However, they all walk out with a full stomach-or, at
least, sufficient fuel to keep their engines running.
Each Of us has a slightly different way OF doing things.
But, in the end, we are all working toward the same goals.
There are millions of roads, all leading to the same happi-
ness, just as there are many ways of baking good bread.
Some roads are longer than others. And, by travelling the
long roads we naturally take longer to reach our goal than
the people with sufficient vision to take the shortcut. Alas,
too many of us select such a long route, that we die before
we reach the goal or even in sight of it..
No two people go after money in exactly the same way.
There's the same difference in methods of seeking success
full marriage, bringing up Of children, recreation and others
of a long list.
In national government we have tie same common goal
lots of service and public improvements, at lowest possible
cost. But, like men who shave and hungry folks who enter
the restaurant with contrasting appettes, we differ as to
how to reach what we want.
It's a good thing always to remember that we have some
thing in common with the opposition. If all contending parties
could get this through their heads, an exchange Of ideas
might reveal the compromise that would prove to be a mutual
shortcut.

I very real value not directly connect

1t is highly important that we keep
watch of their condition, just as a
commercial creditor watches those
to whom he extends credit.
In addition to the regular survey
feature, the journal also contains
each week a large number of general
articles of phases and developments
of international trade. The magazine
in a little more than a year of ex-
istence has built up a paid c~ircuia-
ton of Is, 900.
Service to Newspapers
The Bureau also distributes for
eign trade information through the
newspapers. Each week the official
editors compile a readable resume
of the cable reports from the COM
mercial attaches, trade commission
ers, and American c%onsuls. This is
sent to. about 700 newspapers, many
OF which feature it for a half-page
and even a full-page. Through the
ch5nnel trade information goes be-
fore more than 100000 readers.
The bureau also conducts worldwide
surveys of trade conditions affecting
American farm crops and sends
weekly patches of news from these
surveys to farm journals with a COM
bined circulation of $4,000, 600.
The representatives of foreign gov
ernments in Washington take a live
ly interest in the weekly Commerce
Reports. Every Monday, the pub
LEGATION day, a special messenger
employed by the British Embassy
waits at the Department of Com
merce to get six copies of the journal
as soon as it is issued. and the other
embassies are not far behind But
our foreign competitors are welcome
to the information they can get from
this source. Nothing but general in
formation is published by the bu-
reau. The particular information,
the actual news of contracts to be
let, buyers in the market, ETC., is
conveyed con~fidentially to the ex-
porters in this country who can take
advantage of it.
Herein lies the value of the new
commodity divisions which the bu-
reau has established, directed as
these are by men chosen by the var
ious industries themselves and who
are so familiar with their several
fields that they know the names and
even the telephone numbers of the
manufacturers. The amount of trade
information now sent confidentially
to exporters in this country is 81
times what it was before the bu-
reau's reorganization.

American public Is gradually being

ign trade is something that concerns

A. The Department Of Agriculture

hardens into horn. This shedding
takes place during the breeding sea-

each year, but at times some animals
will develop more.

TRIBUTE TO MAYOR WILSON

Mayor Wilson was given a weH-deserved testimonial Gunner by
his Republican friends last night. The mayors popularity in this
was proven in the recent election and his admirers are not con-
fined to members of his own party. 1t was a real Republican gath
'srhe last night. backed by the Perth Amboy Republican Club, and
some straight Republican talk was heard. But that does not pre-
vent the whole city extending its fluctuations and best wishes at
this glad season OF the year.
The mayor will enter his second term as head of the municipal
government under suspicious circumstances as far as the public is
concerned. It is to be regretted, however, that politics will pre-
vent that harmony of action so much to be desired between the ex-'
ecutive and the Board of Aldermen. Although the aldermanlc
board is in control Of the Democrats, there ought to be team work
all along the line for the advancement Of the city. To Mayor Will
