Leadership Is a rare gift. There are
only a few real leaders IN any COM
munty Hence the great majority must
necessarily be followers. Furthermore,
the demand for followers Is greater than
for leaders Obviously there cannot be
as many leaders as followers,
Most of us enjoy being followers rath-
er than leaders because 1t is much
easier. There ia less responsibility and
fewer headaches attached to following
than to leading The leaders get the
big rewards. to be sure--when they sue
coed. On the other hand, II things do
not go we'll the leaders pay the biggest
penalty. Win or lose. the stakes are
always greater for a leader.
The two fundamental human instincts
involved in leadership and being fol-
lower are self-assertion and Self-abase-
mcnt or submission. These two instincts
taken together constitute self-rcgard-
Ing impulse which is strong IN all OF us,
One or the other predominates. Where
the self-aSsertive impulse is strong YOU
find a follower.
Self-abasement or submission need
not be distastcful thing. Being n
nhase of the salf-regarding instinct the
individual gets a lot of satisfaction from
being follower It all depends on the
makeup Of the individual and his rela-
ton to the leader. TO be the pupil of 81
noted musician is an honor. We submit
with grace and no loss of self-respect to
those who are recognized authorities in
any given field or hold higher posi-
ton in life.
We are good followers also because
of our social nature and the law OF
suggestion and imitation. We enjoy the
sense of solidarity that comes through
being one of a group and doing what
others are doing,
The life without adventure is like a
honeymoon without a bride. Life Itself
is a great adventure The thrill Of the
unknown. the untried, the positively
dangerous appeals to us because in every
great risk the blood flows faster end we

In adventure We taste the essence OF

It. is no idle gesture that the world
has gone mad over the heroes OF the

upon the successful pioneers who cross
an ocean or conquer the frozen North
spring spontaneously from the heart
of every man, woman and child OF all
nationalities The flyers ere called am
bassadors of the cir because they do
more to unite the nations OF the world
in mutual friendship and good will than

but that sort Of procedure is losing
one.
In order to do business profitably
one must have adequate quarters. II
business must be curtailed or limited
because Of space or accommodations,
anv saving effected In rent would
scarcely be considered worth while.
Add to this fact the proba bility that
ones home Is removed from the BUSH
ness section. Customers or patrons will
not go out Of their way unless they are
compelled to. Thus a large amount of
business that would ordinarily fall to
ones lot is lost because OF inconveri-
encc or inaccessibility.
Business cannot be conducted where
untimely interruptions will interfere
with daily routine. No matter how
skillfully one may manage, 1t is DIM
cult to isolate ones home office" or
workshop or studio from ones home.
AS a result must valuable time dur
ing the day will be lost disposing OF
household matters and routine. Ones
business hours are limited in any event.
and when they are shortened further
by the invasions of domestic affairs 1t
will be seen that the economy Of pay
ing one rent loses some of It's appeal.
The home and Office arrangement
tends TO make the hours that should be
devoted to business lapse or interrrlix
with those allotted to the household.
Any business that is not nethodical,
thorough and regular soon loses some
Of its efficiency and Tags.
When ones business Is making
cookies or homemade candies. or some
thing OF that sort working at home may
be a real economy and convenience.
But If ones business is the sale or crea-
ton OF something of an undomestic
nature. the proper locale is essential.
Unless one is rarely skillful in this
respect. one will find that the place for
everything is its prorer place.

The lamp shown is an unusually at
ractive and modern one. and the fact
that the four sides of the base are of
mirror and that the scalloped oval on
which the lamp is placed is also mir
ror makes the entire combination a
very enticing one. We can readily
imagine how beautifully the glow Of
the lights would be thrown upward and
outward, the brilliancy of the reflection
seeming to add to the Illuminating eff
feet.
The shade on this lamp Is con-
sentative one. being made of parchment
paper, first decorated with a very
modern design in gay colors, then
plcated
An oval. square or round shade would
also be attractive, but the angles of the
pleats form an interesting effect in
combination with the angular base.
An opalescent glass or mica shade
would also be attractive for this base;
but an elaborate silk one would be very
much out of place.

How a Wife May Help.

There comes a time in every young
mans life when he needs capital Few
wives will not testify to this fact. When
that time comes 1t is a crucial one In
the lives Of the husband and wife, not
to mention the family 1t may be the
crisis when the husband shall either
be a salaried man all of his life or
branch cut for himself.
How may the young wife help in
this situation? Chiefly by preparing for
it. Sacrifice present enjoyments for
the more solid and lasting ones OF the
near future.
We cannot have everything, nor can
VIC have many things at first The
professional man has a problem similar
to the business mans. His wife, how
ever, must sacrifice time and pleasures
rather than material things alone. If
the future of couple together means
anything. the wife should be willing TO
invest in ii n little, too.
In order to accumulate capital, saw
ing must be regular and systematic.
There are no two ways about 1t.
We have observed, however. that the
woman who co-operates with her hus-
band In this respect seldom leads a
starved existence" or looks shabby"
AS matter of fact she is healthier in
mind, and less fatigued in body
Money worries are unknown to her
Nine out of ten women with nerves"
have been trying to overwork the family
income. The woman who is planning
for future has healthy hopeful out
look that makes life brighter and more
cheerful. The Injuries and frills which
she sacrifices edd little real enjoyment
to life anyway.
Most young wives are intelligent and
capable enough to work tremendously
with their husbands TO a commonly
successful end. They must have the
strength of mind, however, to ignore
what the neighbors are doing" or what
their friends have" They must live
their own lives in their own way.
Given capital at the proper stage in
ms career, a helpful and sympathetic
wife. and household devoid of debts
md worries. most young men can carve
out for themselves a worthy place IN
the world of commerce.
The wife who binders merely pre-
cludes the hope of her own future,
while the wife who helps is amply
repaid.

Since that time, it was developed

tion has carried much of his publ
city matter on it's wires in Texas
and elsewhere.
Cross examination disclosed also
that Grant, in correspondence with
atility executives, told of his con-
lection with the press association.
He was asked whether his purpose
WAS to show the utilities how he
could be useful to them, and replied.
:" No, sir, that was not my inten-
tion, but ii may have been the ef-
feet of tIn lnttn -
Grant said he has submitted
numerous articles to the press as
sociation and all of them have been
distributed to its member news

ployment by the press association
he said, was at the association 5 own
request.
