Each individual is likely to assume

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Preferring Other Fellows Job.

That shrewd observer of life, Fl. T.
Webster, the cartoonist, recently ran
a comic strip under the caption, ANY
Old Job Looks Better to Me Than
Mine
It told the story of the head of the
good will department whose work con-
sisted Of entertaining out-of-town buy
ers at the firms expense. No doubt
every one envied him, but he found
the work tiresome, complaining II
wish I'd gone into tn coal game when
/ had tn chance, This job of mines
getting pretty doggone monotonous."
The cartoonist calls attention to one
of the universal tendencies to regard
other work as more glamourous than
your own. Perhaps 1t is another ex-
preston Of the pathos of distance
the fascination Of the unknown.
Element of Drudgery.
The iob YOU understand best seems
suffused with d large element of rou"
tine and drudgery: the Job you have
merely heard about seems eternally
| interesting.
These preiudices are handed down
| from, father TO son. Instead of follow
| ing the Oriental caste system under
which the son automatically follows in
his fathers footsteps, the system has
| heen inverted. The physician who
| knows the hardship of a doctors life
wants his son to go into something
else: the travelling salesman advises
| his son not to be a drummer; the
/ actor seeks to put his offspring into
a vocation less speculative and less
| fun of temptations than the stage.
The truth is that all applied work
involves effort, and has it's routine as
well as it's creative moments. Nearly
every ordinary job calls for a certain
amount of repetitious motion. Each
task has it's problems and its difficult
ties. Each business has its failures
as well as its successes. II you knew
as much about the other fellows JOB
as you do about your own, 1t would
not seem so romantic and alluring.
This observation is likely to be mis-
understood. 1t does not mean that
all jobs are equally dull or monoto-
nous. AS a matter of fact, these are
relative terms. In the last analysis,
the most interesting job for you is
the one that lies within the range Of
your talent, fitness and liking. The
worst Job for you Is one in which you
are misplaced. The best is the one
in which you are in harmony with
your environment.
Stirring Creative Faculties.
job that stirs your creative facul-
ties and calls for judgment is likely
TO be the most interesting. 1t is also

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


The highest priced stock on the
New York Stock Exchange never paid
a dividend. The company is Texas
Pacific Land Trust. 1t has no bonds.
It has no preferred stock. The owner
ship of the company rests In what are
called land trust certificates. These
are of a par value of 500 and the
other day they sold for more than
So, 600. No other listed stock has ever
changed hands for so large an amount
per share.
Texas Pacific Land Trust up to this
writing has never even paid q stock
dividend In fact, the policy of the
company with regard to it's capital
obligations has been exactly the re-
verse of that involved in stock divi-
dends. Instead of increasing the num-
Der of shares outstanding 1t has de-
creased them through purchase in the
open market and cancellation. Back
in 1888 there were 1913, 694 certificates
and at the end Of April last this num-
Der had been reduced to 1920.
The organization owns large acreage
in 80 counties in Texas. AS lands have
been sold the proceeds together with
income from rentals and royalties
have been used to acquire and to can
eel such certificates as could be pur-
chased. The result was that the shares
that were left had that much larger
equity in the property.
This policy may be changed in the
future. There have been reports to
that effect, but, however that may be.
there could be no better illustration
of the fact that stock dividends-that
Is, an increase in the number of
shares of corporation-do not in
crease the value of any one block of
stock.
Texas Pacific Land Trust up to this
time has been doing exactly the oppo-
site of company that declares stock
dividends.

uation closely in order to take adyan-
| tage Of methods that may be worked
| out 10 relieve congestion OF crowded
areas. Another in the long list Of
plans suggested was presented here
| today. Undoubtedly busses win play
large part in solving the problem
here as we'll as in other cities, but
continued postDonements have delayed
action.
More than a third of the electric
railways Of the United States now
are operating motor busses in Connec-
ton with their rail lines, according
to Walter L. White, bus and truck
manufacturer. This is confirmed by
the American Electric Railway AS
ISOLATION, which stated Of 600 electric
railways, 339 are operating a total OF
$3.50 buses over 1889 miles Of route.
Bus Line to Expand.
The association survey shows an
increase of So companies, 1000 busses
and $500 miles of route since October
/, 1925. The present figures compared
with Is companies and - busSes in
1921. Both the number of busses and
mileage will be greatly augmented
when the bus lines are in operation
in this city.
AS a result of the transit situation,
the present year promises to be a
most prosperous one for the bus and
truck manufacturers. Some eXecu-
tiyes anticipate that the output of the
first quarter will not be SO heavy as
in 1926, but will exceed that of any
other year.
Merchants are clamoring for a
speedy solution of the parking and
traffic problems of the cities. They
say the crowding is costing them
never get back. When suburban
customers, they say, find that they
cannot come into the city easily in their
own automobiles or in speedy buses,
they turn to the stores in the subur-
ban towns where parking space is not
at so high a premium. The suburban
store, by joining with other establish
ments in the neighboring towns to
buy comparatively, can offer almost
as large and varied a selection as
the metropolitan store. It's overhead
is smaller, and rents are lower.
Recourse to Buses Seen.
Philadelphia merchants have even
expressed the fear that drastic park
ing regulations will drive some of
their Pennsylvania and New Jersey
trade to New York.
The New York situation is compli-
Gated by the fact that the city already
has 1922, 100000 invested in rapid
transit lines on which it is receiving
no return. Transportation men say
it is impossible to operate the lines
profitable on scent fare basis and
that it is costing the city $4,000, 900
a year out of taxes to carry it's rapid
transit investments. About $685., 00O,-
900 additional is needed for proposed
subways and the engineers say the
estimated deficit of the new subway
when operated at the scent fare
would be $62 100000 a year. On the
other hand, there is strong opposition
to any increase in the scent fare.
With those facts in view, speedy.
recourse to buses is indicated.

the South has recovered, or at least

cotton is evidenced by the heavy
