Know Your Defects
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

down big Jobs and doing important
work who are not world beaters and
know it.
1t is the man who knows he is
not quite big enough to fill his job
but works his head off to make as
few slips as possible, who continues
to hold down the place. And event
ually his capacity grows.
1t is the girl who is afraid she
can't cook and take care of the
house and make a good wife, but
who works hard to keep on learning
and does the best she can, who
makes the most successful wife.
1t is the President who does not
think himself omniscient or his judg-
ment infallible but who keeps in
touch with the consensus Of public
opinion who accomplishes the most
in his administration.
When we realize our own inse-

inc ourselves safe and indispensable.
A knowledge of your weaknesses
helps you best to utilize your pow

Their First Jobs
BY Philip Nolan
Clerk to Bank President.

One Of the most widely known
bankers and manufacturers Of the
South went 70 work first at the
age of IS, as an ordinary clerk.
He got his first job in Greenwood,
S. G., and in the course Of time rose
TO the dignity Of q bookkeeper.
Then, a couple Of years later, he
was able to land a JOB in the Farm
crS' & Mechanics Bank, Of Green
wood, still serving in q clerical ca
pacity.
But in three years be had shown
50 much initiative that be was made
the cashier Of the First National
Bank. and after a few years more
was chosen as the assistant treas
urer Of the Glenn-Mowry Manufac-
turing Company, in Whitmire, :. c.
Later he became the president
and treasurer Of this enterprise,
and having been largely instrument
tal in the founding Of the Bank Of
Whitmire, he became the president
Of that institution also.
His name is Elias f. Child.

Figures Of Speech
"Hoist With His Own
Petard."

The expression, hoist with his
own petard," is akin to the Biblical
phrase, "Whoso diggeth a pit snail
fall therein" One man is beaten
with his own weapons, or is caught
in the trap that he has set for 9th
ers, is said to be "hoist with his
own petard.'
A petard was a thick iron case
filled with gunpowder-what W
should call nowadays a bomb7Vand
fastened to gates, barbados, etc,
to blow them up. The danger was
that the man who undertook to
place the petard might not be able
TO get away in time, and thus be
blown up by his own internal ma
chine, or "hoist with his own
petard."
The expression is several centu-
ries old, and was employed by
Shakespeare in Hamlet"

How Many Rivers Flow ''Uphill''?

force of the earth's rotation has a
horizontal component which drives
the water toward the equator,
where the force is greatest. As
Professor Young has picturesquely
said: "If the earth's rotation were
to cease the Mississippi River
would at once have its course re-
vcrsed, since its mouth is several
thousand feet farther from the CEN
ter of the earth than are its
sources"
Returning to the Nile We find
that it rises on the equator and
flows north TO 80 degrees. Conse-.
quently its mouth is more than 90
900 feet nearer the earth's cen
ter than is its source. On the other
hand, centrifugal force opposes to
its northward flow, so that if the
earth's rotation. should suddenly
cease, the Nile in flood, would be
poured in a mighty torrent over
the flat land of Egypt.
The case of the Amazon is pc
culiar. Running in the main par
allel with the equator, its course
may be called level, as far as any
change Of distance from the center
of gravity is concerned. But its
waters are subjected to a general
law Of DETECTION, applying to all
moving objects on the earth's sur
face-a result of the rotation. In
the northern Hemisphere the deflec-
tion is toward the right hand, but
in the southern toward the left.
A glance at a map will show that
the Amazon, in its long course east
ward, actually sways slightly north
ward, or toward the left, so that
while it is five degrees south Of
the equator in the AndOs, its mouth
is on the equator. This may or
may not be a consequence of the
law Of DETECTION.

PERIODIC EXAMINATIONS

United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health, New York City.

; is the family Doctors chief job? It
consists in keeping the family well.
In my opinion, the doctor of the
future will have little else TO do.
Advances in medical scierce-
brought about by doctors = are
speedily cutting off the income de-
rived from the art of healing. But
unselfishly they 20 forward in their
work of celebrating disease-at the
same time doing away with the need
for doctors.
But doctors continue to be ne
cessity. One of the most useful ser
vices they render is to give the per-
iodical examinations. These are
undertaken to find IL there are any
breaks and to advise what should
be done to seal them up before real
trouble arrives.
Such ailments as cancer, tubercu-
losis, diabetes, Bright's disease and
others of lesser Importance are like
ly to yield quickly to remedial meas
ures if taken early. 1t is harder

In spite of my friends criticism,

A few days ago one of my CORE
spondents scolded me because / say
so much about periodical physical
examinations. He says, "the doc
tors will make. enough money with
out this additional income"
He referred to my uncle who re-
Gently reached his hundredth year,
saying this ripe old age is due
largely to the good health of the
mother and the inheritance she gave
him and depends little on what
doctors have contributed.
1t would be foolish for any man to
discount the tremendous value Of a
splendid PHYSICAL inheritance. But
a hundred years, or half that, is
long. dong time.
No matter how perfect are. the
materials from which a house is
built, there will come a time when
it must be touched up, here and
there. A nail will rust, break off,
and loosen a clapboard. This gives
a chance for the rain to enter. A
shingle will curl up and let in the
destroying water. The stained cell
ing and dropping plaster tell the
story of deterioration.

bit unkind about doctors. i have

i've been disputing for some
time the Nile river, with some
friends. I've heard say that it
flows up hill. Is such a thing pos
sible?-A. D., New York"
The dispute should have been
about the Mississippi river, which
must; undoubtedly, flow uphill"
with reference TO its distance from
the center of the earth. The Nile
flows decidedly "downhill' in that
sense since its course is toward the
north, or away from the equator,
while the course of the Mississippi
is exactly the opposite, i. e., south
ward, toward the equator.
There is another very long river,
the Amazon, which flows about an
equal distance parallel with the
equator, from west TO east, so that,
its head and its mouth are at prac-
tically the same distance from the
center of the earth, Gf We neglect
the fact that it rises in the Andes
mountains and ends in the ocean
at sea levcD.
There are some curious and in
structiYc facts connected with this
matter, which impress a vivid idea
of the shape of the earth, and of
the consequences of its rotation.
First, let US see the effect Of
the "flattening" Of the earth about
the poles. 4 section of our globe,
cut through the poles, would show
it as an "oblate spheroid," measur-
ing about Is IL miles less from
pole TO pole than through the
equator. The true general outline
Of the section would be ellipticol.
This shape of the earth is IN
doubtedly an effect Of its rotation,

The Mississippi River rises at
about 80 degrees north and empties

30 degrees, a difference of 20 de-
