ASK QUESTIONS

A buyer for the rug department of one of the largest department stores in the United States, a man whose salary runs high into the five figures. was asked about the reason for his success.
 T learned early the secret of ask ing questions" he answered prompt ly. No matter whom I came in con tact with. if l felt that he knew more than l did about anything, I asked questions. l wasn't bashful and new CT hesitated to let another person see that l didn't know a thing. I think the question habit is one of the strongest rungs in the ladder of suc- cess"
 This man offers such definite ad- vice to those who would succeed in any line of work that I put tho question directly to my readers: Do you ask questions? Are you inter ested enough, curious enough about things around you to ask about them? Or do you go your way, day after day, without ever troubling to wonder about anything?
 By asking questions, do not mean mere silly, idle questions prompted by nothing more than desire to hear yourself talk. I know dozens of people who ask questions and never wait to hear the answer. All they like Is the question itself.
 No, the kind of questions that this rug buyer asked, the questions that offer ycu opportunities for a liberai education, are those prompted by in- tellectual curiosity, a desire to know the why, how, what and wherefore of things. It is not enough merely to hear the answer; the next step is to use that information to make you more intelligent, a better informed person.
 As this buyer says there are great many men and women who do not ask questions for fear of appear ing stupid in the eyes of others. Do not be afraid of this. The way you ask a question immediately indicates whether or not 1t is prompted by a desire to learn more. Any one who knows subject well is usually sym pathetic enough to explain things to some one interested enough to ask.
 Don't be afraid of being a nuisance by asking questions. If you ask them at the right time, when the other person has the inclination and oppor- tunity to answer them, you will have fuli advantage of your opportunities. That is the whole secret of asking ouestions-the desire to learn more about something. If you want to be a success in any line of work you can get nc more liberal education than by asking intelligent questions and adding the answers to your store of knowledge.
