TEACHING PERSONALITY"

Many commercial and other schools
are advertising courses and lectures
in personality" Books are publish
ed that undertake to show people how
they can acquire the characteristics
called by this name. It is an interest
ing question what is meant by this
term, and whether this is quality
that anyone can acquire.
The idea intended is somewhat the
same as self-confidence. But the self
assertive man is often shallow. Bluffs

to irritate. Personality" conveys the
idea of substantial Characteristics
back of self-confidence, suggesting
that the man or woman is able to back
up claims for intelligence and leader

10 acquire "personality" people
must have faith in themselves, but
that faith must be backed up by real
attainment. People must know what
they are talking about and be ready
with facts and information and sound
sense that their words will carry
weight. A great deal of thorough
work has to be done before people can
secure that substantial foundation of
details and judgment which must ex-
ist before a mans personality can ac-
quire influence.
have the gift of clear statement. The
mind must see things in lucid and
logical light, SO that an idea can be
presented forcefully and in way to
bring conviction. One must plan out
in advance what he is going to say,
so that his words shall have the most
persuasive force.
On top of these qualities, self-con-
fidence comes in. Many clear think
ing people, who have foundation of
facts and sense, have no personally"
because they lack confidence, power of
leadership, and the gift of expressing
ideas forcibly. Personality" is one
of the large elements in success, and
most people could develop it by their
own efforts along the lines above sug-
gested.

PRICES OF AUTOMOBILES

The citizens of Julesburg and Sedg-

quickened ear recently to the many
announcements of declines in the price

not own one we nevertheless recog-

our everyday life.

The present year will show its share
of breaks and receiverships, because
there are still some firms operating
under unsound principles. But the
percentage of fatalities should be
smaller than in 1921, and for the big
majority the outlook for success is
bright. 1t is especially so for the
firms that produce economically and
offer good values.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about us and is proba-
bly, the most easily damaged by bad
or careless treatment. If we are
very careful in hair washing, we will
have virtually no hair troubles. An
especially fine shampoo for this
weather, one that brings out all the
natural beauty of the hair; that dis
solves and entirely removes all
dandruff, excess oil and dirt: can
easily be used at trifiing expense by
simply dissolving a teaspoonful OF
canthrox (Which you can get at any
druggist's) in a cup OF hot water.
This makes a full cup OF shampoo
liquid-enough so It is easy to ap-
ply It to all the hair instead OF Just
the top OF the head. This chem
ically dissolves all impurities and
creates a soothing. cooling lather.

DESERVED HONOR TO PIERRE s DUPONT

rIyHAT the signal honor conferred by Lafayette Col
ege yesterday Pierre S dupont well merited
believe not a single Deawarean will dispute.
In recent years colleges have been liberal in
bestowng academic honors successful of affairs
confined such honors strictly to schol-
and OF letters.
OF the four given highest honOrs by Lafayette
this year the degree OF IL D. Senator George Wharton
Pepper lawyer, Hon. Vivian NJ. Lewis is also a law
yer Dr. Alfred stense a professor OF medicine while
Mr. dupont is a business executive who has turned his
splendid talents into the field Of public education.
Perhaps the language Edward J. Fox, the trustee
presented Mr. DUPONT for his degree best explains
reasons why Lafayette considered Pierre DUPONT
worthy of it. Mr. Fox said in part:
"since the close OF the he has devoted his SPLEEN

public health education and for the Amercanization OF

his contributions to the educational and other organlza

have been colossal and he has used the means which
God has given him good steward for the benefit OF

1t is altogether probable that living too close

the full extent of what Mr.. duPon has done for public
school and higher education in Delaware.
He has given Of his means freely. and in amounts

Just this thing, apart from his gifts of money

Get the and then apply them-not guesses or |

With the gift OF money has that added gift of
personal application which has multiplied many times
the value Of the physical donation.
Recognition OF just how much Mr. dupont has done
for education in Delaware be impressed more |,
strikngy all Deawareans that a Pennsylvania
college Of high standing has recognized it in such an
eminently fitting manner
