ALWAYS ROOM AT THE TOP
By Albert Apple

Young who wondering what line of work to
follow will be interested in this So will others who already
started, find the road to success rough and steep.
Each year American industry needs 10000 new mining
electrical hydraulic and other engineers Yet engineer
ing colleges graduating only 5000 year. So claims the
National Industrial Conference Board.
Colonel Barbour editor of Mining and Mealurgy chal
enges the boards claim He Nothing could be
absurd Moreover such statement is tragicay harmful
to the current graduate and the young who about to
decide engineering study. The engineering
profession is already over-crowded."
Every business is overcrowded for that matter except
branches of skilled labor where strict union rules hold
the number of apprentices.
AS far numbers concerned, have too
engineers too many DOCTORS too many lawyers
newspapermen. too many architects too many retailers
and so on, the list is virtually endless
No matter what you decide to take up" you find that
dsheartening army of others has the inclination
Even in aviation there is waiting list
No field exists in which success is easy.
The fact that is difficult the existence Of
sharp competition over-crowdng
But crowdng is mainly due to the presence of
multitude of incompetents For every general, there
thousands of privates who haven't the making of general
portunity knocked at the door,
There many electrical engineers but only Edison
Many surgeons but only few Criles and Mayos. Many
criminal lawyers, but only few Darrows.
Plenty of room at the top for the right If you
confident that you have the ability and stckoveness to
make good, young fellow ahead. Don't falter don't
weaken, don't be discouraged by "over-crowdng"
business trade profession may be Overcrowded with
numbers-but with ability.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE loneli-
ness of New York is indicated by the
great number of dogs to be seen
here.
Community life is almost entirely
lacking in the vast city. You may
live for years in one house and not
know ten people in the entire block.
Thus lonely New Workers turn to
dogs for companionship. In any park
you will see scores Of them on leash.
Shoyt-legged ones and long-legged
ones. Short-haired ones and long
haired ones. ShOrt-eared ones and
long-eared ones. .Short-tailed ones
and long-tailed ones.
l always pity these dogs which
never have the chance to run free.

inal to keep a collie or police dog

However, wonder if it isn't down.
right criminal to keep child in a

Some very fine people live insNew

ages house Of i'll repute. And he
pays his father and mother to man
age another one for him.
Three theaters in the Times Square
district are displaying in their lob
bies photographs Of nude and semi
nude chorus girls. 1t is the general
belief that this sort of advertising
attracts the men. 1t has been my
personal observation that the women
who gather about the photographs
outnumber the men two to one.

the throngs were trooping to theat-
