TAKE HEART.

All day the stormy wind has blown
From off the dark and rainy sea;
No bird has past the window flown,
The only song has been the moan
The wind made in the willow tree.
This is the summers burial time:
She died when dropped the earliest leaves !;
And cold upon her rosy prime.
Fell drcful autumns frosty rhine:
Yet i am not as one that grieves,-
For well / know DER sunny seas
The bluebird waits for April skies;
And at the roots of forest trees
The May flowers sleep in fragrant case,
And violets hide their azure eyes.
o thou. by winds Of grief oerbown
Beside some golden summers bier
Take heart! Thy birds are only flown,
Thy blossoms sleeping, fearful sown.
10 greet thee in .he immortal year!

"Do 1t Better"
BY III. Addington Bruce.

Of all slogans, the young man be.
ginning business will do we'll to make
his own, none is Of more Importance
to him than that comprised in the
three words, DO it better" For that
matter, it is slogan of persisting
importance TO all business workers at
all stages of their careers.
Neglect to act in accordance with
it means failure even when success
has seemingly been achieved.
How often it happens that men,
having notably progressed through
steadfast' devotions to the principle
summed up in this slogan. finally
reach a point where they think they
may safely spare themselves the ef-
fort adhesion to it involves. They have
arrived" they tell themselves, and
now they can take things easy.
Always they discover. soon or late,
that to take things easy" means to
lose ground in a business sense. This
If only because in every business there
always are competing workers for
whom the slogan DO it better" has
an irresistible appeal.
Responding to it, they are certain
in time to draw up on even terms
with any who may have arrived"
ahead of them. They are equally GER
tain, merely by continuing to do bet
ter whatever they undertake, to pass
the latter il these surrender to the
take it easy" impulse.
This is the explanation OF many an
unexpected collapse of industrial and
commercial firms thought to be Sc
curely entrcnched in the business
world. 1t is the explanation. too, of
the frequent demotion Of business OK
ccutives from positions they had toll
somely gained.
''Do it better" had won their sue
cessive promotions. 4 foolish belief
that they could now dispense with
''DO it better" had caused the set
backs which shocked them and their
friends.
And. obviously. one need not look
beyond an ignoring of do it better
to account for the failure of many
business workers ever TO arrive
One has only to use ones eyes to
perceive that to many men Take II
easy" always has had stronger ap-
peal than "Do it better" Content to
master the routine of their work.

attracts wider attention than the Easter
millinery parade.
1t is not necessary to dilate on the
merits of the automobiles that are being
shown at the St. Anthony this week.
The throng of visitors that will pass
through the spacious hotel lobby be
fore the show closes guarantees that these
cars will be better known by the public
at large than ever before. But there
is the human side of the motor show that
is seldom so we'll known. 1t is made
up, not of the highly finished cars with
their fancy trappings but OF the men
who deal i'll them.
The motor car dealer like his indus
try, stands first in the community. He
is and must of necessity be, a business
man par excellence. y live, wide-awake,
outstanding. energetic, able sort of Il citi-
zen is required for this calling. None
other need apply. He must command
large capital compel the respect and
confidence OF the public, make good at
all costs and must himself be sold on
the particular car he proposes to sell.
,
quarter of a century or less, has at
tanned a position in the United States
second to none, is due to the character
of men who are behind it, manufactur
crs and dealers statesmen and skilled me-
chanics. Not in the improvements that
have been made in motor cars although
they arc astounding, but in the TN
varying high quality of the men who
handle the industry, is found the key
to the gains made by the motor Car
business.
The show in San Antonio is not
large display as such events go. But
it is probably the finest and most ex-
elusive exhibition of motor cars it ever
has been the lot of San Antonians to
see. Some of the cars shown this year
can only be described in the word cx-
quisitc. Without question, the purchaser
of a motor car in 1923 is given more
for his money than any buyer ever got
before. The makers have We'd with
each other in turning out models that
for ease of operation, low upkeep, eff
cheney and comfort have never been
equalled in the history of motor-pro-
PEELED vehicles. And there is much as
surancc also in the fact that among the
dealers of San Antonio the highest
ethical considerations prevail. The mo-
tor cars that are shown in this show
and that are offered for sale in the dis
play rooms of the various dealers are
the pick OF the wide array OF motor cars
being made in this country in the judg-
ment of San Antonio automobile MEN.

EIGHTH ANNUAL MOTOR SHOW

No event of wider interest will take
place in San Antonio during 1923 than
the Eighth Annual Automobile Show
under way this week at the St. An
thony hotel. More than fifty models
are on exhibit representing everything
best in carbon from the flivver to the
classy limousine.
The motor-car show started but a
few years ago comparatively, when deal
ers got together usually in some cut of
the way vacant building and put few
cars on display, covering them with
bunting and perhaps hanging a few tin
sci ornaments on the bare walls. To-
day, the best establishment in every
city is proud to throw open its doors
to the motor show. 1t is an asset and
