Uncommon Sense
By JOHN BLAKE
ONE JOB is ENOUGH

A YOUNG reader has asked us IL
\ he can study law and the violin
at the same time. He can. He also
asks IL he can be a great lawyer and a
great viOlinist. He cannot.
A man who wants to be a great
lawyer is not going to have time to
master any musical instrument more
complicated than the penny whistle.
The law requires time and thought.
The violin requires time and practice.
Kubelik spent about eight hours a
day with his fiddle. At the end of that
eight hours his tired brain would re-
fuse admission to a single page of
Blackstone, even were his fingers not
too weary to hold the book.
No boy should study the violin with
a view to making it profession un-
less his talent is such that he never
could be contented with anything else
OF all the instruments In the world
1t Is the hardest to master, and none
but geniuses ever can prosper as well
by playing 1t as can any fairly
successful lawyer by following his
profession.
A very great illustrator, known te
the writer, discovered when he was
twenty-one years old that he would
have to stop trying to be a concert
singer.
He had a good voice and good must
cal ability. But he found that cult
waiting one or either of these would
take the time he needed for the study
of drawing. Because he quit the music
he became rich and famous.
Had ne kept at it he might have be
come a choir singer. or sung sinai
parts I'm musical pieces. But he never
would have got any further-a fac
he found out before 1t was too late
Very few men can do any two thingi
very well. Nobody ever born can d.
two things supremacy well. Music 1,
a fine accomplishment and bring,
much pleasure to people in other line.
Of endeavor II they follow 1t with
moderation. But only musical geniuse'
should specialize In It.

UNIFORM CIVILITY

ITO BID welcome to the world when
L everything seems to he gong
against you, is to exhibit the right
sort of courage and TO show yourseh
capable of overriding difficulties.
Though firebrands may be thrown
across your pathway and backbltihg
tongues assail you, If you still remain
amlable and courteous, you VIII
emerge from the ordeal unscathed.
Civility and all that 1t implies gives
you the staying strength to surmount
obstacles and TO press forward In all
kinds of weather.
Scowls, frowns and short answers
very frequently make of the talented
and gifted, sOrrowful toilers, while,
on the other hand, urbanity and
suavity elevate men and women or
moderate attainments to power ana
affluence.
Ciyility commends itself to people
who know not Its name, but recog-
nize 1t when they see 1t. The grabbed
old boOr and the proud youth are now

SELFISHNESS

n HINK of your tasks and not Of
L yourself.
Most of those who find their daily
work monotonOus and imagine they
could get much greater enjoyment out
of other employment would not be
likely to make any greater Roadway or
find greater pleasure In doing any
other Job under the sun, unless they
first had a change In their own view
point.
Usually Il is not what one may be
doing, but the spirit In which 1t Is
done which makes work pleasant or
undesirable. When people are con-
stantly thinking Of self and placing
themselves above the importance OF
the duty at hand, the task will seem
distasteful and incOnsequential, re-
CARELESS of how much its successful
accomplishment means TO the world.
The story is told of school teacher
who hated her work and was ex-
tremely anxious to become nurse.
She complained that there was moth
ing to her life but a mile-long trip
between two ugly fences twice a day
and the intervening hours spent In
teaching the same monotOnous lessons
over and over again. So she thought
II would be so very lovely to don q
white cap and apron and devote the
remainder Of her life to caring fol
the sick.
Fortunately she stated her opinion
to a clear-headed and broad-mindeC
physician and asked him to aid her II
finding employment as a student II
a hospital. When this man heard
why she wished to give up teachint
as a profession, he kindly told her tina
she was temperamentally untitled t.
be a nurse, for nursing meant ex
IRENE self-sacrifice. IL she though
80 much OF herself that she couldn'
find enjoyment in the work of making
good and able Americans through
teaching, due to her constant Thoughts
of self. he contended that she woult
have even q smaller chance of getting
enjoyment out of the nursing pro
fession, which demanded more devo
ton to others welfare.
The herald., 1922-03-09

The young woman was intelligent
enough to know that what the physi-
clan told her was true. Hour after
hour she battled with herself to get
the right viewpoint, and finally she
won her battle over selfishness. Then
her work became enjoyable and she
did 1t so well that its influence for
good was reflected in her life and her
smiles.
No work will make one happy If he
thinks more Of himself than his Job.

Open-eyed wonderment.
In some subtle way Civility touches
hearts and knitS mankind closer to-
gether, yet, despite this fact, 1t has
Il long way to go and great deal
Of hard work to do before ii can over

derstand its true worth.
To those who are just starting
careers. and especially to the young,
good manners are as essential to
their success as good concentrations.
Indeed, politeness may be said TO
be the better thing Of the two, for the
reason that IT builds character, and
makes 1t imposing in the eyes Of 9TH
ers.
There Is no time In ones life that
courtesy Of behavior in the treatment
Of others fails TO win recognition.
The employee who is uniformly
civil, considerable of his or her en-
ployer, and thoughtful of associates
as well, is usually the first to win pro-
motion.
If you will think back, study cause
and effect, you will find as you reflect
| that the greater number of failures In
life had their beginning in incivility,
and that those who today are conspic-
uously successful In the arts, profes,

ginning, and are now, habitually

was installed having three overflow
pipes with check valves. Excava-
tlon was made to bedrock, about IA
feet below the surface. The cement
tank rises several feet above the
