CHURCHES URGED
TO ASSIST PEACE
Reinforcement of Christ in
All international Relations"
Is Held Ideal.
By the Associated Press.

MINNEAPOLIS, December o.
Abolition of "aIl war by the enthrone-
ment of Christ in international rela-
tions" is held as the great ideal Of
all churches in a report of the Com
mission on International Justice and
Good VIII to the executive committee
of the Federal Council of Churches
today.
THE churches of America" the
statement says. "can, if they will,
enthrone Christ in the international
policies of the United States and by
SO doing they can do much toward
removing the world menace of war
and toward establishing world justice
and world peace.
eff the churches are really in earn
est with their ideals and their pro-
grams for world peace, they will
surely put men and money into this
enterprise, just as they do into every
undertaking which they regard as
important"
Urging every communion to form
committee on international justice
and good will, the comm.s .ssion de-
clared that should the churches of
the United States make this goal one
Of their interests and concrete OBJ
jectives, within a decade it's achieve
ment would be well on the way"
This statement might have seemed
extravagant 25 years ago." the report
continues "Now, however, because
of the extraordinary position and
power of the United States in world
affairs, great progress toward a war
less world could be made certain"

We try to get the boys to think 1or
themselves. When they are tardy, we
explain to them that failing to report
at the agreed time means steallhs
time from the employer; taking money
without rendering the service agreed.
We not only comment on abuses, out
call attention to good work. Those
who are not tardy for three montns
get an extra day off. Those who are
not late for a year get an extra week
off.
I'VE take boys directly from the
schools, and find that in general tnelr
school record as to proficiency ana
character is reliable index OF their
prospective worth In business.
Would Mold Boys.
1--WE don't want boys who have been
spoiled with experience. We prefer
to mold them ourselves, offerlns
them an opportunity for economic
study at the Stock Exchange 1nsti-
tute.
"The Stock Exchange feels that the
chief task is to train the boys who
come to work for it in their teens to
be good citizens. If they are that,
they will perform their work salts
factorily.
1.-THE most dangerous time In the
business history of a youngster. our
records show, is when he is first pro-
noted Those without strength of
character suffer a letdown, and then
never progress further. Able boys,
however, see in a promotion an in
centive for greater study of the prob
lens involved and of effort"
The Stock Exchange took great
pride recently when two of the pages
found a pocketbook with $500 and
returned it to it's owner on Park
avenue, who offered the boys a sub
stantial reward. They courteously re-
fused any money, saying: You can
not pay for our honesty"

have foot ball, base ball and hockey
teams, but are not allowed to play

gree Of proficiency at their work.

are so. All too many individuals feel
that their present salaries are too
small to permit significant saving,
which they postpone until their in
come is increased. Such deferment is
unwise, because when salary Is in
creased wants usually grow also.
Men sometimes stay in blind alley
jobs merely because they don't wish to
start modestly in more promising
fields. Thus they drift for decades,
waiting for an opportunity that never
comes, to start at or near the top.
They would be much wiser If they
were willing to start modestly in a
new vocation, sacrificing current in
come for better future possibilities.
Chances at Top Fewer.
The opportunities to start at the top
are diminishing, as management Is
coming more and more to realize the
good effect on employe morale of pro-
noting leaders from the ranks.
Though this is unquestionably a de-
sirable trend, it is sometimes over
done. Occasionally an enterprise suf-
fers from inbreeding, and can be re-
juvenated by an outside viewpoint.
But the outsider should be an indi-
vidual who has demonstrated his SUI
periority.
Too many individuals postpone the
joys of travel and culture until late in
life, when they expect to be more at
fluent. The effect of such postpone
ment is likely to be the loss of a
taste for such recreation. Charles
Darwin concentrated for so long on
his scientific researches that later in
life he lost his taste for music and
other leisure pursuits. Many business
men make the same mistake. Other
individuals perpetually deprive them
selves of such opportunities because
they do not feel they can afford the
best. They insist on the best or
nothing, and usually get nothing.
Others during vacations enjoy eco.
nomical travel in their f1ivvers, and
find real happiness in expressing
themselves without the gestures of
the grand manner"

Picks Boys of Promise.
Recently the Stock Exchange has
attempted to pick boys who show
promise Of marked development. AL
though only relatively few can become
members Of the exchange, many 9TH
ers graduate into better positions in
the Offices Of member firms. The turn
over Of junior clerks at the great
whirlpool Of speculation Is rapid, and
the management Of the exchange only
aims to keep boys as junior clerks for
two years.
Cameron Beck, personal director of
the Stock Exchange, keeps in per.
sonal touch with 1000 employees Of
the Stock Exchange. He laughs at
current jibes against the present
younger generation of flaming youth.
Despite the criticism Of youth in this
Jazz age, he believes the present crop
of youngsters compares favorably
with those Of the past.
I'VE are gradually tearing up our
books Of rules in the discipline and
management of youngsters, and are
trying instead to use common sense
and friendliness in the handling of
individual problems as they arise. If
boy is wrong minded, there is usual
ly a cause for it.
1--WE think that too much attention
is given by the average employer to
the small minority of troublemakers
and too little to the great majority
Of faithful employees. Misfts are un-
happy in work and disagreeable to
their employees. We attempt to weed
them out as soon as we discover them.
We don't want boys who are not in
terested in this work. We try, how
ever, through our various connections,
to place such youngsters in jobs out
side which will be mere to their lik-
ing.
High School Graduates.
1--WE are now limiting new en-
ployes to high school graduates.
Most of our younger employees are
also taking night courses of collegiate
rank and are thus building the founda-
tion for their promotion. Boys who
thus make an effort to continue to
grow mentally are the ones most
frequently picked by our floor mem
bers for better jobs in their brokerage
offices.
Most employers make the mistake
of trying to think for boys, and gov
ern them in accordance with formulae.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Starting at the Top.

William Feather, business philoso-
pher of Cleveland, who has a rare
talent for stating old truths in a
fresh manner, says: II am convinced
that most people are halted in their
progress by vain desire to start each
new venture in a grand manner. If
they cannot make the start grandly
they make no start at ALL"
This observation is particularly
true when applied to the ordinary in
dividual who does not save at all be-
cause he cannot save much. He over
looks that even dollar saved is
capital, and is the beginning of a
competence, which will multiply end
lessly through the working Of the
compound interest table. If you are
25 years old and will save $44.33
monthly and invest it at S per cent
interest, compounded semi-annualy
you will have an estate of $50 900 when
you are 60. If you save as little as 81
a week, you will have $4,000 when you

American girls have a tendency to
place the belt rather high, and it is
true, of course, that fashion is grad
ually raising the waist line or at
least showing more molding about
the waist line. However, when the
French dressmakers use belts they
usually place them well below the
waist line When they are placed
high there is a tendency to bunchl-
ness that detracts from the still very
desirable slender. straight effect.
Quite new are the really wide belts
that are worn with boleros. The ef-
feet is Spanish. These belts are
placed below the bo'ero. but as they
are wide they extend somewhat be-
low the normal waist line. producing
a straight, slender line from waist
nearly to the hips. Needless to say
this is fashion for the very slender.
