WISE ADVICE

TT WAS Publius Syrus who said,
= Look for a tough wedge for a
rough log'-wise and sound advice.
Men prosper better who suit their
tools to the job. 1t Is foolish to drive
nails with Il sledge hammer, or to try
10 drive piles with n mallet.
The first uses up twenty times as
much energy as is necessary; the sec
ond accomplishes nothing.
When you see in a legislature or IA
political meeting IN orator tearing
the air into tatters over a very small
and unimportant matter, you feel that
he Is using a sledge hammer to drive
a nail.
When you see n man In an Office
employing three times the energy
necessary to do a very small and un-
important job, you know that he is do
Ing the same thing
Save your important weapons for
with machine guns.
If you have n big task to do. bend
to 1t all your energies. Use the big
gest weapons you have.
But on the little jobs save your en-
argy.
We have seer Legislators who made
notions 10 adjourn us If they were en-
gagged In n debate over the fate of the
1ation. We have known architects
Who planned as deliberately for the
construction of a one-car garage as
better architects would plan for n sky
lcraper.
Neither got much but rldlcule for
his efforts.

that will come. You will need them

To be worthy you should be patient,

You must overcome foolish pride

Go forth with q heart full of faith

Do not grumble If you happen to be

Think of the great men of today
who came up from humble places and
won distinction whose names are
written across the lands and seas In

Hold faith high above your head.

No War With Italy Over

BIG NATIONS In 1T
By WILLIAM r. NASH.
Special Cable 10 The san Antonio Light
and The Chicago Daily News
Copyright 1928.


Paris. Sept. 20.-"We shall not go
to war over Plume" Premier Pac-
hitch of Jugoslavia is supposed to have
said to Premier Poincare during his
visit to Paris.
Significant indeed is this statement
today for, without it, one would be
tempted to believe that the war clouds
were looming up again in southeastern
Europe.
The impetus Signor Mussolini, as
cynical Frenchmen call Italy's premier.
has sprung another stroke Of fascist
politics on Europe by appointing an
Italian general civil governor" of the
sovereign state of Fiume. thus extin-
gushing the last glimmer of independ-
ence in that famous city.
Treaties. Alliances and Pscts.
II Jugoslavia accepts this as an &C.
complished fact, she loses practically
all future claim to Fiume. despite as
snrrances from Rome TO the contrary.
That is just what Jugoslavia is least
likely 10 do. Her attachment 10 Fiume
remaining as strong as ever.
Moreover, other nations are inter
.ested in the quarrel. Bulgaria hates
Serbia and would be delighted 10 attack
her once she became involved with
Italy.
Relations between Sofia and Bel
grade already are strained TO the dan
ger point over the activities of brig
ands on the border.
Hungary also hates Serbia and
would like to join Bulgaria in attack
ing her.
1t is rumored that an entente Of
some kind already exists between the
nationalist governments of Hungary
and Italy.
Other Side Lined Up.
On the other side are CZechoslovakia
and Roumania. both bound to Jugo-
sIavia by a military alliance which is
particular. directed against Hungary.
Great Britain is disinterested. with
no reason for putting pressure on Italy
as she did in the occup Son of Corfu.
France. however, is friendly with
Jugoslavia because that country coun-
ter-balances the Italian influence in
the Balkans.
1t is rumored that Paris and Bel
grade already have a military under
standing.
1t is known that France has lent
Jugoslavia 300,000000 francs for mill
tary purposes.
In short. the finder is present in
quantity fully as great and in quality
fully as inflammable as was the case
in 1914.
