THE other day Henry P. Davi-
son died, member of j. P.

Morgan and Company,
spoken of as one that had
risen with extraordinary rapidity.
How much he had is not known,
but he left four and half mil
hons extra" to one son and
was we'll off. It had been said
by the ablest financiers that had
he lived, he would eclipse all his
competitors.
In Mr.. Davison's life, and in all
others, SUCCESSFUL OR UN-
SUCCESSFUL, there is a lesson
for those asking, "How can I 60
forward7"
Young Mr.. Dawson was alert,
energetic, a type of the active,
keen, eager young American.
when he got his chance to come
to New York to work in a bank.
He owed the chance to Dumont
Clarke, then president of the
American Exchange Bank, father
of the president of the bank to-
day.
Dumont Clarke interested him
self in the keen young man, 80
eager to work and get ahead. H.
helped him to a place as cashier
in the Liberty National Bank, and
Mr.. Davison's rise to fame, f.
nancial power and to a big for
tune was rapid.
"Ah," the average young man
will say, "SOMEBODY HELP
ED HIM; he got his chance, the
rest was EASY"
But the rest was NOT easy.
Dumont Clarke used to tell how
young Dawson had justified his
confidence and the help he gave
him by the extraordinary HARD
WORK that he applied to every
thing.
When he got his place in the
bank he did not settle down TO
enjoy fairly comfortable salary.
First, he made himself ao-
quainted with all the accounts"
in the bank of any Importance.
He made it his business to know
the business and interests of those
that kept their money in his bank.
He did not learn the thing half
way-HE KNEW 1T THOR
OUGHLY.
And when old depositors in the
bank, men on whom its success
depended, came in to see the "new
cashier" they knew nothing
about HIM. But they found to
their intense surprise that he
knew ALL ABOUT THEM. He
had made it his BUSINESS to
know.
He got the iob-then HE
WORKED AT THE JOB. Let
young men remember that.
Having worked, and knowing
his job, he went about improving
his chances in an intelligent way
First, he had shown what he
could do. Then he said to the
President of the bank, "I am
going to make the stock in this
bank worth more" The Presi,
dent said he felt sure of it. Davi,
son then explained his plan, to
have the bank or bank president
buy a certain amount of the bank
stock, put it away and allow
Dawson to pay for it as he could
out of his earnings at the price

PALACE

PALACE
 The husband tired after a days work craVes quiet and rest, the wife craves devot1on and attention of her hus- band. Each martyr in his own eyes gets on the others nerves and the cniidren eager to express their own the confusion of the home That's about the keynote of "Clarence'' the new De Mile production for the screen which comes to the Poli Palace this Sunday night and the three days following shown with a varied and decidedly interesting program of add ed features.
 The picture, like Lulu Bett' takes the audience behind the doors of an American home and shows them what Is going on within-shows them things that most of them have experienced but never laughed at them because the joke was on them instead of the other fellow.
 Incidentally the picture presents Wallace Reid in a role entirely diff ferent from anything he has ever done and which he handles in a most ex- ceuent manner. The public will want to see Wally as a big awkward rookie In Ill fitting clothes, wearing horn trimmed glasses with his hair roughly parted and being in action and man nerlsm the very man he looks. And then as the picture progresses he gradually changes and at the finish becomes more like Wally himself, loses his self consciousness and cap lures the hearts of every woman in the audience.
 The story will leave a pleasant taste in the mouth for it is pure humurous comedy and it takes the problem of the American family which is jang- ling and all out of tune and shows how Clarence comes in and by his personality Straightens everything out.
 There will be more laughs supplied by Bull Montana in his three reel comedy "The Ladies Man" ard an in- structive and entertaining single reel is 'Via Radoi'' with the Palace Re view picturing the events of the day.
 On the stage Managing Director Johnston will offer Eddie Cooks Re vue featuring Cook who is known country wide as The Saxaphone King and his offering is quite apropos to the Reid picture. In the Revue will also seen the Grey Sisters and other clever artists and the splendid VOicg of Sudsworth Frazier who was heard here several weeks ago will again be a treat for the patrons.
 The Palace symphony Orchestra accredited as the bestm usicaI organi- zation in the eastern country will play as an overture "F'rimlS Favorites'' a l special arrangement by Conductor ohnSton of Rudolph Primls most pop uIar compositions and the orchestra | will also play a. concert program and | music synchronized to the pictures. |
