Don't Stay
in a Rut---

IF you would<be famous. be origi-
nal. Don't be copycat. Get
up new idea and hammer the
! daylights out OF ii Many Of our
students and patrons Of our course
have tried 1t. Look at them to-day.
Maybe you can't find them. but
look at them. anyhow.
Do something original. That is
the secret of success. Who ever
heard OF Ebenezer T. Cruikshank,
Of Bucyrus. Ohio, before he in
sented the non-skid paper napkin?
Who has ever heard of him since?
Ask yourself those questions and
then go out and do something origi-
nal. For instance:
: Start shoe store on some cor
ner where saloon used to be and
get $27 for q $3.50 pair of shoes.
Write a series on whats the
Matter With Europe" for the Sat
uray- Evening Ghost.
Pass the hat for the relief Of
some particular set of loafers
across the water.
Write a letter to an editor and
sign it PRO Bono Publico."
Write play based on the eternal
triangle. Have all couples married
to. each other in the first act and
everybody married to somebody
else in the last act.
Invent an epoch-making drama
with q bedroom scene in 1t.
Open motion picture theatre
In block where there are only
seven.
Open a delicatessen store and
sell a nickel's worth of liverwurst
for IS cents.
Start an orange drink stand.
Have yourself PACED in a fash.
fonable hotel. You can do this by
telephoning in and asking for your
SELF.
Invent an efficiency system
which will save any manufacturer
$4,000 and charge $4,000 for in
stalling II.
Accumulate a million dollars and
then get fired from the bank for
clipping. with chorus fiapper. No
body has done that yet.
Buy an acre of ground anywhere
IN the South west. start an oil
company and sell the stock. Never
mind about the oil.
Those are only a few new ideas
that have almost never been tried.
You win never get ahead by stick
ing in the rut. Whatever else YOU
do, be original

SAN FRANCISCO, January lin
ability of opposing counsel to COM
plete the jury today in the second
manslaughter trial of Roscoe G.
("Fatty'D Arbuckle. led to the belief
that testimony would not begin until
Tuesday. Defense attorneys expressed
the opinion that this trial would take
at least as long as the first one. which
occupied three weeks.
The jury box has been filled six
times since the case was called last
Wednesday,, but the use of six per-
emptory challenges has heightened
the process of selection. Eleven tenn
porary jurors were in the box at
adjournment today and examination
of twelfth virtually was completed.
The crowds which waited in front
Of the hall of justice the first few
days to see the principals come and
go are no longer to be seen. Ac-
cording to court attaches. the case is

CAR STRIKES NEAR
IN VIRGINIA CITIES
May Begin Tonight in Rich
tnond, Norfolk, Petersburg
and Portsmouth.
By the Associated Press.

b! the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, January 14.-Four
Virginia cities, Richmond, Norfolk,
Portsmouth and Petersburg, will face
a strike of the car men of the Vir-
ginia Railway and Power Company at
midnight tomorrow night, unless
steps are taken tomorrow to bring
about settlement of the controversy
between the men and the company,
arising out of the posting of a notice
by the street railway company that
a cut In the wages of the men will
become effective on Monday, January
l6.,
Posted First of Year.
The notice was posted in the car
barns of all the cities on January l.
The decision to strike was an
nounced this afternoon. after a poll
of the union men had shown that
they overwhelmingly favored leaving
the employ of the company rather
than accept the cut proposed on Janu-
ary1 by the officials.
Balloting on the strike question was
started in Richmond Thursday AMI
the local car men returned a big ma
Jority in favor of the strike. Peters,
burg car men voted on the question
yesterday and information from
the workers in the COckade city re-
turned almost a solid ballot for the
strike.
Similar Views In Four Cities.
Tidewater employees, those working
In Norfolk and Portsmouth, cast their
,, ballots yesterday. The outcome of
the vote in these cities has not been
announced, but it was stated by
Richmond representatives of the car
men that incomplete returns indi-
! cate that the car men in the four
| cities have arrived at the same con-
clusion-to walk out in protest of
what they believe to be an unfair
! proposal by the company.
Mayor George Ainslie. at the sug-
gestion Of the union men in Rich
mond, attempted to have the strike
postponed. but it is understood that
his offer was politely declined. 1t
is said that the offer was not made
directly, but through indirect cham
nels.
Company's Announcement.
Officials of the Virginia Railway
and Power Company announced this
afternoon that they were prepared to
| handle the transportation situation
| in the cities affected, in event the
; strike occurred. Representatives OF
the company state that they will, as
| far as possible. fill vacancies in their
| ranks from among the unemployed
| in Richmond. They made no an
| to fill the vacancies in the Other
, cities.
! Advertisements in the Richmond
papers for motormen and conductors
have resulted in a large number OF
applicants for the positions reporting
| to the company Representatives. Of
the Virginia Railway and Power
Company expressed themselves as be
| ing confident that it would not bt
necessary to import "strike-breakers.

Bulgarian government invites Ameri-
cans to come to Bulgaria to build
shipyards, grain elevators and har-
Dor improvements at Varna on the
Black Sea, and to establish indus
trial enterprises at other points.
The government believes that Rus
STA before many years will emerge
from her present state of disorgani-
cation and that she will require many
ships which could be conviently built
at Narna
Alexander Radoloff, the Bulgarian
minister of the interior, told the cor
respondent one of the greatest OPP
portunities for enterprising Ameri-
cans existed in the canning, sugar,
fishing, forest and mining industries.
he said huge profits awaited Ameri-
cans who might establish canning
factories for the enormous quantities
of fish that swarmed the Black Sea,
the Danube and other rivers, and for
the packing of compressed beer, fruits
and vegetables in which the country
was so rich. There was not sim
gle canning industry in the state, he
declared.
I'VE have enormous forest areas
where it will be necessary only to
build narrow gauge railways, to pro-
duce some of the finest timber and
paper pulp in the world" said NJ.
