One perfectly good Pensacola
dollar has gone wrong, If Dick
Bingham's calculations are not
wrong. Dick was the member OF
the Junior Chamber of Commerce
who started out the third dollar
of the week yesterday under the
auspices of the junior commercial
body to ascertain how much 81
will buy in Pensacola.
He let the simoieon go by spend
ing it at White G. Whites, and
when o'clock rolled around yes
terday afternoon Dick stood at his
telephone ready to have someone
call him and let him chase out to
retrieve the bill. But no call
came. He waited until 6, but
still no call came. He then called
up The Journal and in disgust de-
cIared that he didn't know what
became of his dollar.

all explain why they succeeded.
Yet when l start them off on a de-
fscriptiOn of their career, step by step,
! from boyhood on, usually it is very
easy for me to see exactly what led
! to their rise.
The other evening the recently
electd president of one Of America s
very largest industrial enterprises
told me the story of his life. He
thus covered the whole period Of his
youth:
After attending the local schools,
I graduated from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology"
That wasn't particularly illuminat-
ing. so l started delving a bit.
Were you particularly interested
in any one thing While at SCHOOL," l
asked.
NO, well-nothing except that I
rugged up a machineshop or laboratory
at home and built mechanical things,
including a motor which worked all
right. l had to get some of the cast
ings made. The president of a local
company. a friend of my father, had
this done"
Then he added, as an after-thought
ut was rather queer, wasn't it, that
this same man gave me my first job?"
There" I exclaimed. THAT ex-
plains a whole lot-everything. Right
there was a turning point in your
life"
II never thought of it that way.
How do you mean" he asked.

you a job because you had done
Notwithstanding out of the or
dnary-which made an impression on
him, Il sufficient impression to make
him willing to put you on his payroll
by and by. He saw in you doer.
You created your own influence and
the only influence worth while always
is the influence we ourselves create"
BY ss-eXamining him like
Philadelphia lawyer, wormed out Of
him what preceded every important
promotion in HIS career. And there
was a specific. clear-cut, abundantly
sufficient cause each time.
For example, he was transferred
from the dirtiest kind of work in the
shop to the office because the rather
humble part he played in taking the
inventory of his department attracted
the notice of his superiOrs, so much
more carefully and systematically
and businesslike was it done than the
work done by any of the others.
Later, he made his mark by pre-
sentiug figures to the head Of the
comDanv showing that they had on
hand only so per cent Of stock of the
goods which accounted for so per
cent Of their sales and so per cent
Of stock covering goods which ac-
counted for only 20 per cent Of the
sales.
That convinced the president that
this young man was Of executive cal
ibre.
When he reached the selling end Of
the business his fundamental, expert,
technical knowledge of the require
ments Of customers enabled him to
win contract after contract. And. of
course, recognition came in the form
OF promotion to the position Of di-
recting all sales.
Now, this mans career is merely

FRISCO JURIST
HEARS CASES IN
COURT TO MUSIC
DispeIs Usual Air of
Resentment and
Hatred.

San Francisco, Cal, April 12.-
Tuneful melodies. love of old. and
popular airs of recent composition
will dispel from his court what Po-
lice Judge Sylvan Lazarus termed
the customary air of resentment
and hatred.
IT'S just an experiment based
on the demonstration of the power
of music to take the sting from
| ten and costs" the judge explain
ed. The music was first produced
by 4 phonograph, which a detective
said was stolen. He brought the
photograph and records into court
and the Judge ordered the session
opened with music.
Ben Bolt" was played and the
court proceeded to the case of d
drunken man who attempted to
break away from the officer who
arrested him.
"All By Myself.
All by Myself served as pre-
Iude to the trial of an automobile
speeder.
There is nothing in the world
that tempers our emotions as much
as music Judge Lazarus said at
the close of the session. But
there is danger even in music.
Some selection might soften our
hearts too much. Too much jazz
might make us forget the misery
that we should remember For that
reason each melancholy tune must
be Offset by one that is exhilarat-
ing"
To replace the photograph which
brought the innovation, the judge
will have one of his own sent from
his home.

Hhe principal point OF interest in
,asav,s financial situation was the
rexnonse to the overnight an
uouncement that the rate on the
latest issue of six months treasury
certificates would be 3lz per cent,
as against AZ per cent on the last
nreyIous Offering less than a
month ago and the lowest hgure at
Uhich the United States government
Ihas attempted any short term fl
nancing since the date of the first
liberty loan in September, 1917.
So large a reduction was quite I'M
srpected and it was obvious enough
in action of the Liberty group that
the market was not prepared. All
the issues rose sharply to new high
nrices for the year. The 315s got
across leo for the first time The
rest OF the Liberty's were also
within a slender fraction of their
price of issue.
These no a b Q achievements
marked the complete return of
treasury borrowing to a normal
nre-war basis. When during the
period of stringency from the fall
Of 1919 through the spring of 1921
the rate on these certificate Offer
ings was constantly being put up,
it was as q precursor usually to
the successive advances in federal
reserve discounts. 1t is reasonable
TO look for a similar sequence with
the process in the reverse. The
market for corporate bonds was
quite as responsive as the market
for government securities. Prices
were up all around, frequently as
much as a point to a point and a

The speculative on the stock ex-
change also received its proper in
fuence from the treasury's action.
It set the same lively pace as it
has been doing for the last two
'1weeks, with the same rapid shifting
from one group to another that has
marked the course of the trading
all year Profit taking sales were
extremely heavy and brought about
downward turns in numerous parts
of the list. Most of the railway
stocks felt the effect of this sort
OF selling. But the reaction in this
and other quarters was balanced by
Athe sharp upbidding of stocks like
Fthe American Oils, the Rubber and
Tire shares and the Tobaccos,
which have not figured so conspic-
uously in the more recent stages of
the markets forward swing. New
highs were reached in the favorite
equipment stocks. Realizing sales
were heavy enough to exercise a
check on the steels, the motors and
most of the motor accessories
stocks.

all bond prices advanced sharply

the other issues rose to their nigh

nearly touching the 100 level. Trad
ing throughout the list was seavy
and the number of issues dealt 1t
was the largest for 1922, while new
high prices exceeded the record OF
any day in several weeks.
The rise in foreign exchanges
also excited a favorable influence
on bond prices. The strength OF

to a new top. New highs were made
also by the Sac Paulo SIS, the

CORN IS QUIET
tBy Consolidated Press.l

Chicago. April 12.-Trade in
wheat was mostly local and the
majority of traders were bullish.
The bulges brought out offerings
from longs, however, which were
difficult to absorb. While prices
showed ready disposition to
bound back from dips the markes
acted a little overbought to the inn
partial observer. Market news was
generally bearish. Kansas City
told of some of the mills shutting
down because of the poor -four
trade and the same Idvices came
from all sections of the country.
Pacific coast mills were offering
-four TO Chicago on a workable ba-
sis. Receipts were heavier. Wealth
er was more favorable for the
growing crop. The firmness in ca
bles was due to the Hghtre Argeu-
tine shipments forecast and an es-
innate OF the remaining Argentine
exportable surplus at 5000, goo
bushels last year.
Corn trade was quiet and prices
were affected by the trend of wheat.
1HcAS was d little COMMISSION
house buying early. Local Fealiz-
ing was encountered on the bulge.
Weather conditions were more ia
vorable, drying winds and sunshine
being reported over many sections.
Cash demand was light both for
domestic and export account
Oats exhibited a firm tone early
along with other grains but not
enough new buying was uncovered
to absorb the offerings from longs
who wanted profits later. Ship
ping demand for oats showed little
improvement
Provisions were lower. Decline
in hogs caused some selling and
there was some hedging pressure
from smaller packers. Commits

OIL STOCKS.
BY STUART r. WEST
Copyright. 1O22-l


OIL shares were again among the
leaders in the market today. but a
different set of favorites from that
OF yesterday was singled out. Pref
erence was given to the stocks of
refining companies rather than to
the merely producing companies
once IL got through 80, Cosden gave
a better account OF itself than ii
has in a long while. A new pool is
said to be forming in this stock
which will go to work on the an
ticipation of increased dividends
some time during the year. Very
large blocks OF Sinclair were taken
around 26, but getting above. that
ngure. this stock too acted better
than 1t has in some time. More
buying came into producers and
refiners.
RUBBER.
The move in the rubber and tire
shares today had been rather gen
orally expected as the logical sequel
OF the rise in the motor and motor
accessory stocks. Traders who had
profits in Studebaker, Chandler,
Stromberg and Borsch Magnetic
shifted them into Kelly Spring
field, U. s. Rubber, Goodrich and
Lee as soon as the latter group got
under way. All these stocks shot
up a point to two points in the
space OF a few minutes. An i'm
portant reason for the buying of the
Rubber and Tire stocks was the
expectation of an advance in tire
prices May l.
