GETTING RESULTS

words, observing closely how
things are done to produce results,
keeping In intimate touch with Inn
proved methods, making careful men
tai analysis of the failure or the sue

To think along the same groove

INSPIRATION

A RECENT Sunday newspaper
a printed picture Of the head OF
one Of New York's biggest banks. He
was In baseball uniform, and but for
a mustache-an ornament now dis
carded by ball players-looked like a
professional.
The picture was taken at an out
ing of the Bond club. The banker
served as pitcher for the New York
team. The type below recited the
fact that he got his first job In an
Albany bank because he was a crack
ball player, applied himself to bank
ing as eagerly as he had applied him.
self to baseball, and In few years
was well on his way to his present
position.
1t Is needless to say that this par
ticular baseball player didn't put all
he had into the game. He was I'M
usually gifted as pitcher, and might
easily have got intoAone of the big
leagues, too.
But he had the good sense to know
that baseball was not a steady bust
ness, and that banking was. And in
stead of selling an opportunity to
make fairly big money early in youth,
he was content to try the banking
business on small salary.
OF course there are good many
men who started in the banking bust
ness when he did, and who are still
about where they were when they
started. But at least they still have
steady jobs. II they had taken to
baseball they would not be doing as
well.
Our object in referring to this par
ticular case Is to call attention to
the fact that If you want inspiration
in your work you can get it in the
newspapers-plenty Of it.
Brief bits Of biography such as the
one we have cited appear almost
every day.
Seldom is prominent mans name
mentioned in connection with an i'm
portant affair that you do not learn
something about how he started and
why he succeeded.
If you want to read about the fail
ures-and the horrible examples, you
can read about them, too.
While this man was rising from a
bank clerk to bank president, an
other man who started as an impor-

Something to Think About
By F. A. WALKER

of the ever-expanding universe you
may set it down that you are
marked for mere initiating plod-
der, of which the world at present
has tremendous over-supply.
No harm can come to you in ex-
plotting new fields.
1t Is better to fail in untried eff
fort than painstakingly to avoid it,
for by exerting yourself you may
quite Unexpectedly arouse some dor
mant capability of whose existence
you had not the slightest suspicion.
Life is search for substance on
which life depends.
1t is through this search that we
discover things and get from them
useful results.
To take no part In this ever-ex-
banding search Is to admit defeat.
You cannot long continue in the
chase of honor and fame without
soon feeling the exhilarating thrill of
the ennobling adventure.
And when your blood runs hot your
brain tingles with clearing vision, and
your whole being becomes attuned to
novel surroundings, you stretch out
eager arms and cry in joyous voice
for more, more
And the beautiful part Of such ex-
perience is that what in your days
of slackness you considered drudgery
barren Of results, resolves itself into a
thing Of inspiration, bearing you on
strong, swift wings to the top of your
dreamland hill.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
HELEcTRIcITY"

TN SEEKING the derivation Of
= this word, one might be par
doned for supposing that 1t had
something to do with the ancient
word for lightning or even for
steel or iron, because these sub
stances have become connected
In our minds with the substance
itself. But electricity" is one
of those words which might be
termed natural errors" for it
has its origin in the Greek word
for amber-elektron In fact,
literal translation Of it would be
'the quality of being like am
ber."
The connection is far from
apparent until we dis back into
Greek history and find that the
scientists of ancient Athens dis
covered that, by rubbing piece
Of amber vigorously they were
able to attract light objects with
1t. We now know that the force
+ which we call electricity" was
generated by the rubbing Of the
amber, by the friction applied to
Its surface, but the Greeks were
Of the opinion that this was a
quality inherent in the amber It,
self. While the existence Of this
force has been apparent in the
form Of lightning, magnets and
the like, for countless centuries,
1t was only In very recent times
that 1t was recognized as a dis
tinct power, to be studied and
catalogued and used for the
benefit Of mankind. The name
applied to 1t, however, was the
name given by the Greeks to the
substance which manifested it.

Important Matter Settled.

The discovery of an alligator fossil
in the shale rock Of Bay de Noe is
considered by biologists to prove that
this peninsula was not created until
fish and other forms of animal life had
begun to exist in the waters there
abouts This must bring great deal
Of satisfaction to the people living
there Scientists had asserted recent
IL that the peninsula was formed pre-
vious to the fish era, and was there
fore quite old. 1t seems probable now
that the place was created, say, only
400, 100000 years ago, instead of 5OO,-
900, 900 years ago. So the people need
no longer apologize for not having a
place just as new and up-to-date as
any Of us-Detroit News.

the fresh fish are unobtainable. Finnan

the flavor SO well liked. 1t should
