ness you never hope to possess,
put it aside. Don't go in mas

most of all it does not fool you.
Yourself, the essential you,
may seem a pretty hopeless prop
osition to your honest estimate
of values. 1t may be full of
ed by faults. completely lacking
in that polish known as social
grace. Long ago you may have
decided that it can be nothing
but a burden and handicap, q
thing to be concealed in SO far
as you are able.
But you have overlooked the
great asset 1t may be; the thing
which must be respected and
admired wherever you go II you
use it with the best that Is in
you-sincerity.
You are sincere when you are
being yourself-never otherwise.
Whatever you may lack in the
lore of books. the polish of
worldly experience. the refinement
of high social contacts, you make
up for in the thing without which
those others are as nothing-sin-
cerity.
Oddly enough. there appear to
be no waste places in the grand
scheme of creation. What you
may look upon as of no value
in your own nature may have
a place to fill in the position
life has given you.
But If you suppress and
smother this quality through
timidity or self-consciousness or
shame. how can it achieve the
purpose for which it was in
tended?

ADVANCE OF
FORESTRY


The extent to which timber
growing has come to be a mat
ter of general interest and un.
derstanding is without doubt the
most significant change that has
taken place in our forest drama
within recent years. Today. &C.
cording to the Forestry Almanac
just published by the American
Tree Association, forestry is max.
ing real headway in the United
States. 1t is making this head
way in number of different
ways. Part of it's progress is
represented by a grf dual evolu.
tion of industrial practice and
land management. Part has been
translated into helpful legisla-
ton. Part lies within the realm
of forest research and part is
purely educational.

OF course, there are difficulties
to be overcome in planning a
holiday. II is not always easy to
get away from work. Besides,
vacations cost money. But, for
tunately, the world of business
agrees that every employe is
economically more valuable be-
cause of an annual holiday rest.
So the average firm sends every
worker away on a yearly vacation

Nadir Khan was said to have raised
