In spite Of Shakespeares warning,
many business men look for success
Of failure in the stars rather than
in themselves. And Prof. FL. L..
Moore, at Columbia University, main
tains that the business cycle depends
on changing sun spots. A practical
business enterprise in Cleyeland-the
department store Of Halle Brothers
has attempted to trace the effect Of
astronomical changes on their own
sales.
Effect of Rainfall.
So far as rainfall is concerned, their
studies seem to indicate that when the
season is actually under way, rainfall
has much less effect than1s commonly
supposed. However. when the season
IS just starting or If 1t is on the de-
cline the effect Of a rainy day may be
very great.
IN between seasons, q forecast OF
ram may have as deleterious effect on
sales as actual rainfall III active sea
sons, a bad change In the weather has
little measurable effect.
When the actual weather is CON
trary TO seasonal expectations. it has
the worst effect on sales. Unseason-
able weather is the worst from @ bust
ness standpoint.
These observations are based on a
four-year study by a weather sales
bureau.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Self.masterY Schemes.

me commendable impulse of the
ambitious individual to succeed has
been commercially exploited to an in
creasing extent.
Courses on pseudo psychology have
been offered by mail at fancy prices,
and personal services in the form of
bump reading, character ANALYSIS and
psycho-analysis have been bartered
in rising market.
Much charlatanry has proceeded
side by side with legitimate develop
ment OF the science of human be-
havior.
DIR. Donald A. Laird, professor Of
psychology at Colgate University, a
competent witness, thus comments on
the value Of patent-medicine mental
cures:
There are a large number of self
mastery schemes one finds advertised
at great expense in popular magazines.
There is not one that the psychologist
of reputable standing can recommend.
Standard books on the subject are
vastly cheaper than the courses that
are advertised and infinitely more
valuable"

suit OF a personal experience.

In general, I am inclined to agree
with Henry Ford's observation that
books are the best investment for
young folk. However, there are suck

Wall Street. The most valuable books
are available at moderate prices, or
may be consulted without cost at the
public library. The writer of this

mination in 1925 The decision
was communicated to George Mil
ton, publisher of the Chattanooga,
Tenn, News, in a letter sent in
response to request that he an
nounce his candidacy.
Declaring his chief concern was
for the supremacy of Democratic
principles and progressive policies,
McAdoo said:

vocate these objects as a private
citizen than as candidate for
the Presidency. prefer to stand
aside in order that the field may
be left clear so far as | can clear

ership that can more effectively
gain these ends"
This is the first public ar
nouncement of Mr.. McAdoo that
he will not be candidate for
the Presidential nomination, though
friends have been saying for some
time that he would not seek the
nomination next year. The circurl-
stance that many former support
ers of Mr.. McAdoo, like B. NJ
Baruck, Thomas l.. Chadbourno
and others in New York and many
throughout the West, had accepted
the report that he would not be
a candidate and had declared in
favor of the nomination Of Gov.
Alfred e. Smith by the Democratic
Presidential nomination had pre-
pared the people for the announce
ment made this morning.
Mr.. McAdoo was the leading
candidate for many ballots in both
the Democratic National Conven
tions of 1920 at San Francisco
and 1924 at New York. In the
New York convention his support
ers stood by him for more than
100 ballots, and in most of the
ballots. he received more votes
than were received by any othe-
candidate.

IS DISCRACED;
FAKES RECORD
Jean Calico Admits Baro-

tude Was Falsi6ed.

PARIS. Sept. 17.--Jean Cal
lizo, who gained fame as an al
titude fiier, stood disgraced and
stripped of his honors. The Sports
Committee of the French Aero
Club. after a hearing on the
charges that he falsified the baro-
graph records of his latest rec
ord breaking attempt, decided
that they were fully proved.
1t inflicted the severest penalty
within its Observation-Disclosures
for life-and struck from its list
the previous records with which
he had been credited.
Vote Is Unanimous
The decision was reached by
unanimous vote after long
careful examination in the course
of which a number of witnesses
were examined. Calico defended
himself heatedly for hours and
nearly came to blows with sew
|eral of the Committeeman. but
finally, it is alleged, he admitted
the charges true.
II is understood that the case
will not come to an end with
the Aero Clubs decision, but that
the makers OF the motor and
super-charger with which Cali
Iizo's plane was fitted intend to
take legal action to compel him
