TAKE LITTLE OF TIME

Government employees in the
District of Columbia are sup
posed to have thirty days an
nual leave and thirty days sick
leave. A report just made pub
lie by the Department of Com
merce shows that less than sew
en- per cent took full advantage
of the annual leave and that less
than one-third of one per cent
used the full extent of sick leave
allowed by law and regulation.
This is an extraordinary exam
pie of the Federal workers de.
votion to duty.

sANTA's WELCOME VISIT

Santa Claus has left US
With his reindeer and his sleigh;
He brought a lot of pleasure
To the kiddies Christmas Day.
He went back to the frozen North
Where he'll prepare and fix
To make the journey DER again
In 1926.
He had bully time while here,
And to the kids delight
In an air-ship with his reindeer
Flew across the town at night.
They never thought that he could d'
So many daring tricks;
You bet they'll watch for Santa Clau
In 1926.

ITALY AN EMPIRE

It is stated that Mussolini,
italian dictator, intends to pro-
claim Italy an empire.
The logical succeeding step
will be the establishment of an
absolute monarchy with Musso-
.ini the chief cook and bottle
washer. The desire for power,
like all other bad habits, is a
progressive evil.

The first policeman huddled him
close to the wall and ordered him

have been different. But he had not
been informed.

LIABILITIES OF FAILURES,
NUMBER OF FAILURES.
Old VS.. New Business.
irst four mOnthS-

Business concerns may be divided
into three groups: O) Those in a highly
competitive and established line. such
as the Grocers; t2) those in experiment
tai lines or new industries which have
not reached the competitive stage: and
(3) those in the half way group The
greatest number of failures today is
in the fast mentioned group; next
come the second group of new in
dustrieS. The fewest failures are in the
third group which includes those in
duStrieS which have passed the eX-
perimental stage and yet are not over
run and overcrowded as are the high
ly competitive lines. Thus both cut
throat competition and undue risk are
eliminated. making it possible for a
man to succeed through his own hon
esty, industry and service rendered.
In this connection, however. it is
also interesting to note that the life
of concern becomes quite factor
when a. study is made of failure sta
tistics. Most failures are among the
very young concerns which have not
got q real start or else among the
old-fa shioned firms which are trying
to run on their reputation. These sta
tisticS show that after the original
founder of a business gets Il real start
first few years, he has little to fear so
long as he remains in control. Hence
the "middle-aged" concerns are the
best risks Trouble to such comes
when the father dies or sells out and
the employees or children attempt to
run the business or allow it to 'un
itself.
Slowly Growing Concerns Successful.
A study of failure statistics further
shows that those concerns which are
content to begin at the bottom and
grow slowly are the most permanent.
History shows that it is very difficult
almost impossible-to buy good and
| loyal men away from other concerns
and start "full-grown." SO to speak.
When a business concern or educa-
tional institution let's a man go there
| usually is a reason. Furthermore, the
| man who will desert the ladder by
which he has climbed upward is u.s.
| ually not much of a man. Hence
the only safe way is for. a concern
to create its own organization by try.
| ing ont young men--giving the op.
portunities to those who make good
and letting go those who do not make
| good.
| OF all the reasons for failure getting
| into debt is the most general. There
| is only one way to avoid borrowing
and that is to refuse to operate at a
loss. Cut your expenses according to
your income whether you have a fac
tory, a, charitable institution, or a
church. Be willing to grow slowly
Don't let your pride and the fear OF
competition or derision tempt you to
expand too quickly. Remember that
most large and successful institutions
and concerns started either in Gel
lar or a garret and grew slowly.
However, to avoid failure, an insti
tuition or individual must surely take

HOME BUILDERS ADVISED

None Should Avoid Taking All
