LISTEN, WORLD!
The Other Fellow
BY ELSIE ROBINSON

For five years Steve Wilcox has
been failure.
He entered his first job at 10 with
glowing hopes. Since which time he
has gone flatter and flatter in his
own and his various bosses esteem.
He's honest, pu1ctual, reliable, viii
ing TO work. Yet after about three
months Steve invariably gets the ali.
They always give him a wonderful
recommendation when he leaves. but
they've never yet phoned for him To
come back.
Why? That's the mystery. 1t can't
be his work. Steve himself says
maybe it's because he's $50 glum.' No.
he isn't crouch. And he doesn't make
trouble or carry tales. But he gust
cant seem TO mix"
Recently another fellow told Steve
about book that was what he need
ed. II told you all about yourself. All
about your Hidden Talents and Dig
mamie Possibilities. How TO Conccn-
trate to Get What You Wanted. Ii
told you how TO Direct Your Forces
and Conquer Your InhibitiOnS.
If you once learned to Really Know
Yourself. there wasn't anything yOI
couldn't do or get.
This sounded reasonable to Steve.
He'd always felt he didn't know him
self enough. He'd always liked 10
think about himself and try to puzzle
himself out. That was really what
made him seem glum. 1t wasn't that
he was peevcd at other people or
afraid of them. But he sort of lived
inside himself"
He saw great many things IN
himself that the other people coul
never sec. He knew he was a cot
smarter than folks thought he was
Aid much more sympathetic. too. Ii
only he had a chance. But somehow,
no one ever seemed willing TO give
him a chance.
So. of course. when Steve heard
about this book he was delighted and
bought il at once II was really Won

pected. He read it over and over wi

bride?
2. How does the bridal party form:
MARY.
No. No matter how informal tie
wedding. and 10 matter whether it j.
in church or at home, it is not cool
form for the bride and bridegroom
to walk in together. 1t is so muen
more effective to have them come in
separately and meet at the altar.
whether the altar is the church altar
or the improvised altar of the house.
And besides you have enough attend
ants TO make fine professional. The
fact that the bride is not to have
anyone present her in marriage need
not change your plans for the process
sioual.
.. Have the ushers come first,
walking together, two by two. Theu
have the maid Of honor walk next,
alone. Then the bride comes last,
alone. In the meantime the bride
groom and the best man wait ii a
room in the front Of the church for
the news that the bridal party has ar
rived. Then the clergyman, the groom,
and the best man come from the rooru,
and wait for the bride at the head

The Rhyming

The Ice-Man

No land has built monument to
mark his lasting fame. nor has a
laurcl wreath been wound about his
shining name The bards have never
thought TO sing the story of his days,
as he goes driving down the street
amid the heats fierce haze. For any
man with Drawn enough could do his
task as well and so, as all folks will
agree, there is no tale TO tell, no
song TO sing, for songs are based
on nigh, heroic deeds of those who
play the hero's part and fill earth's
mighty needs. Yet every child along
the block goes dashing out to greet
the iceman as he comes along the
sun-baked, parching street. And
freshness as Of ocean winds. where
great waves rise and fall is waited

tried to apply It's principles. nothing
happened. Nobody seemed TO realize
that he had Directed His Forces and
Conquered His lnhibitiOns. They ig
nored him just as they had always
ignored him. And within a month his
boss let him out to give another fp'-
low his job-a mouthy young whip
persnapper that didn't know half rs
much about the work as Steve did.
So now Steve wants to know VIII =:
Wasn't it good book? Then WIN
didn't it work?
1t didn't work because it sent you
off on the wrong track, Steve.
1t directed all your attention to
yourself instead of toward the other
fellow.
That's been your fault all along
looking in instead of out. Studying
yourself instead of the life around
you.
Power comes not from knowing
how to direct your own forces but
from understanding and mixing in
with the other fellows forces.
That isn't just cheap business adj
vice. It's good psychology and good
religion. too. Whether you want TO
get gold or whether you want TO find
wisdom and truth and peace. you'll
have to reach out instead Of in.
For you're NOT an isolated unit,
Steve. You're part of gang. and your
life is part OF that gangs program.
Your chance" must fit in with
their chance"
1t won't do you Il bit of good 10
know yourself unless you also know
them.
That's why 90 per cclt Of these Up
lift books do more harm than good.
Naturally they make their appeal TO
retrospective, shut in, negative people.
And instead of lighting that harmful
introspection which is wrccking lives,
they emphasize. enforce and increas
it. Which makes good sales. People
like to read the things that flattcr
! their own weakness.
But if you are a Steve and really
want to make good, stop reading books
about yourself and begin to study the
] other fellow instead.
