rIlE NEW YEAR

We arc standing at the thrcsh-
old OF new year. Within a few
hours all OF the sand in the hour
glass OF 1922 will have spent It's
course and Father Time will in
vert the timc-telling receptacle
for the newborn stretch OF 800
DAYS that awaits us.
AS the old year closes and the
new one dawns, it is a mighty
good time for retrospcction - 4
splendid time for stock-taking OF
our achievements in the past
year and the assaying Of our de-
fciencies. II we have forged
ahead, well and good; il we have
fallen short of the goal that we
set out to reach, we should take
heed and profit by our mistakes
of 1929. At any rate, We should
enter the new year with the de-
termination to increase our
sphere of usefulness and with the
courage to face LIES battles I'M
afraid.
Last var great western
newspaper took as its slogan
1899 Wiz Reward Fighters and
this year we observe that an
eastern publication has adopted
1898 Will Reward Ambition. >
Each slogan tells its story in
simple, terse language, and each
one is an excellent motto 10 al
ways keep in mind. The Fighter
that is the man who sets out
to overcome all obstacles, hon
estly and couragcopsly - seldom
misses his objective, and Ambi-
ton ever is his impclling force,
the urge that spurs him onward
to better and better deeds.
Barring sickness, accident or
death, the new year will be very
much what we make OF it, for
1923 is going to be year of per
sonal initiative Authorities
unite i'll saying that business will
improve and unemployment de
crease. but nothing will be hand
ed out TO anybody. There will
be jobs for those who go after
them determinedly. and W h .
show ability and energy. There
will be business for those who
seek it diligently and intelligent
". There will. III fact. be proper
reward for those who have real
service TO render and who render
it to the limit OF their ability and
energy.
With these few thoughts The
Evening Capital extends to You
all its hearty good wishes for a
very Happy New Year. Indeed,
it is yours for the making.

The connection Is far from
apparent until we dig back into
Greek history and find that the
scientists of ancient Athens dis
covered that. by rubbing n piece
of amber vigorously they were
able To attract light objects with

which we call electricity" was
generated by the rubbing of the
amber, by the friction applied 10

of the opinion that this was
quality inherent in the amber it
self. While the existence of this

YOUR GRIEVANCES

REFORE you complain, analyze
your complaint
The chances are you will find that it
isn't really complaint at ALL
For example, many men feel
aggrieved because others, doing appar-
entity the same work, are better paid.
Watch them while, and you are
pretty sure TO find that they are either
doing more work or better work than
you are.
Ii they are brothers or cousins OF
the boss, and are better paid for that
reason, charge that mp to human ma
tire. You are bound 10 run into cases
Of that sort. They are not grievances.
but just the ordinary facts of life
which you have got to meet
If you are aggrieved because your
clothes cost too much, find out IL You
can't get perfectly good clothes at
cheaper prices by looking somewhere
else. Nine times in ten you can.
And anyway. If you start little in
vestigation into your personal expendl-
lures You viii discover that you are
spending. without any complaint what
ever, extrayagant amounts on things
that you do not need.
There is no denying that for most
people the fight for existence is pretty
tough.
But it isn't tougher for You than II
is for anybody else.
And all around ron men are getting
into better positions. earning more
money. accomplishing important things.
And most OF them started with ex-
actly the same chance that you have.
