PLAYS WITH
LOBSTERS

TNF1E man who knows more about
i Holsters and how to raise
them, than any other man in the
world is Ernest w. Barnes, a
biologist from Brown University.
He can beat nature at this job,
for il she is left to her own de-
vices she raises only one lobster
in every thousand, while Mr..
Barnes saves seventy out of every
thousand. He tells the story OF
how science has saved the lobster
industry, in the American Maya
zine.
HOLSTERS are hard to raise, even
under the best conditions. Dur
ing ". first three stages Of their
development they can do little
more than float with the water
currents and they are devoured
by preying fish. Moreover, the
young lobster is a cannibal, and
feeds on his own species.
For twenty-five years the Fed
eral and State governments have
been wrestling with the problem
Of saying the succulent lobster
from extinction. This has at last
been accomplished by a technique
developed by Mr.. Barnes at the
Rhode Island hatcheries.

GEORGE BATsoN rec ntly
" acted as POSTMASTER at q
banquet given by the young bust
ness men Of his town. He has
been asked to introduce a dis
tinguished visitor who is scheduled
to appear soon and he has been
elected delegate to q national fra
ternity meeting where he will
represent his chapter this spring.
On the strength of all this pub
lie attention his employer has de-
cided that young Batson is worth
holding and has given him a pro.
motion.
II never thought George was
especially brilliant" said one of
his associates. land he has no
very great force Of character. I'm
rather surprised at his rapid rise
in business circles"
And the associate spoke the
truth. However. he overlooked
one fact. and that is. George Bat
sons ability to make good talk
in public.
George had some very valuable
training at school in the matter of
public speaking. During his high
school years he was taught by an
oId-fashioned schoolmaster who
believes in teaching boys how to
make a speech.
At first they learned old-time
speeches" from a book. Later
on they were told to find out three
interesting facts about d certain
subject and prepare to tell the
class about 1t. Still later ON the
boys were given subjects for ora.
tons which were delivered before
the entire school and sometimes
in public.
The boys who went to that
school sometimes escaped study
ing other subjects. but never that
assignment Tor speech making.
The result is that nearly every
one of them can stand before an
audience and speak his mind with
out embarrassment.
The ability to "think standing
and to state forcefully and con-
vincingly whatever Is to be said
Is q most valuable asset. The
man who can do so always has
an advantages over other men,
even though he may not be any
more intelligent nor any better in.
formed than the others.
At home children can be EN-.
couraged to tell about their little
trips. their games, their amuse-
nlent and their friends. They
should not be interrupted nor dis
-ceuraged; for they are learning
to cay what Is In their thoughts.
