Getting a big Job"

A 8 young fellow, you may be
"A complaining because of diff.
Guilty in landing a good job. You
excuse yourself by saying, There
are so many for every place"
You make yourself believe that
you don't really get chance.
But there never were so many
high -salaried jobs for the men
who are capable of filling them.
II you have not fitted yourself
to take a leading position, why
should you complain because you
can't find a Job.
There are always more poor or
Indifferent workers than there are
places for them.
You want to start near the top.
1t can't be done and held there
unless you have begun at the
bottom of the ladder to learn your
business. You don't want to put
the time, eHergy and study neces-
sary to be- gin at the bottom in
your preparation. That is the
trouble with you.
This Is the day of large sal
aries. but you must deliver the
goods.
Personal pleasure Is minor
consideration to the man who
holds the highest position with
comnensurate salary.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis II. Bisch--

TN q case Of acute alcohol
l. poisoning the first thing to
do is to empty the stomach of any
alcohol 1t may contain. This can
be accomplished by giving an
emetic such as mustard and warm
water or a strong solution of or
dinary salt.
On the other hand. II the patient
Is vomiting frequently pieces of
ice may be swallowed.
II unconsciousness persists a
tablespoon OF vinegar will often re-
store the patient.
1t must be borne in mind, how
ever, that drunkenness may be a
very serious affair. People have
died In an alcoholic stupor.
It is best always to summon q
physician in all cases where there
is any doubt whatsoever as to the
patients condition.
A physician is able to support
the strength of the heart with a
hypodermic of some proper medi.
cine and he can distinguish
whether the coma is perhaps
apoplexy and not merely q heavy
alcoholic intoxication.
A drunken person should al
ways be put TO bed.
If he is irrational and perhaps
maniacal, restraint is necessary
to prevent the patient from harm
ing others as we'll as himself.
AS a rule, however, it is best not
fn q TR in InnnrnSS1riIV 10
use force as 1t merely excites
the patient all the more.
If the patient can be undressed
and wrapped securely In a sheet
wrung out OF cold water and then
covered with a blanket or two
1t serves the purpose OF restraint
as we'll as producing quietinE
and soothing effect.
In cases OF chronic alcoholism
that is. repeated attacks OF
drunkenness-the problem Is far
from an easy one.
There are two general ways
Of trying to cure such a person;
One Is by the gradual withdrawal
of alcohol every day and Tho
other is by its sudden drastic
withdrawal.
Neither method can be rec
commended as being invariably
efficacious
Indeed, the treatment OF chronic
alcoholism is one Of the most
difficult and often disheartening
in the whole realm OF medicine.
In cases where sudden and
complete taking away of the
daily alcoholic drinks is at
tempted a sanitarium is by far
the best place. And care should
he exercised, too, in the selec-
ton Of such place. Physical
as we'll as mental upsets, even
torture, may befall the patient
when his craving for alcohol Is
so completely interfered with.
Besides, such a patient will often
go to any lengths to obtain
alcohol and therefore should be
closely watched.
Digestive disturbances, general
weakness, nervous collapse to
greater or lesser degree may oc'
cur in the course of treatment.
Furthermore, the heart. kidneys
and other vital organs must be
watched and treated il necessary.
Every individual who really
wants to conquer the drink habit
must be removed from temptation
as much as possible. ~
1t often happens that the drink
craving is ovefcome only to light
up again upon a chance meeting
with an old drinking crony.
Some advocate mental analysis
for chronic alcoholism. That un.
conscious motivations often exist
in these cases cannot be denied

INSTEAD of trying to think of

Have you ever tried to analyze

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland
The sweet.and.Low.Down

The Sweet-and.Low.D
A MAN falls in love with wo-
"A man not for what he sees in
her, but for all those glamorous
and mysterious qualities which he
thinks she Is hiding from him.
From his sudden and direct
methods, you'd fancy that the
average modern lover had gotten
all his ideas about the approach"
to love, from his practice in tack
ling a football dummy.
The oldfashioned man used to
boast that he was only as old as
he FELT; but the most extraordi-
nary phenomenon of today Is the
youth Of twenty. who fears that
by thirty his beauty shall have
faded and he may lose all his
charm for women.
Homely men are usually fasci-
mating. When Nature gives a man
a lot of beauty, she somewhat
hates to spoil 1t all by giving him
a lot of brains and backbone.
The average husband Is always
either too restless to keep still and
stay at home evenings, or too tired
to keep AWAKE and be sociable.
Plenty of limelight around a wo-
man will dazzle most men into
thinking themselves in love with
her, until the curtain goes down
on popularity and they see her in
the cold, north light of reality.
The usual reward" a woman
gets for being ready on time is
to be asked to put the studs in
her husbands g shirts. find his m1lff-
ler, hunt for the tickets. and get
the car out. Punctuality Is one Of
those virtures which is its OWN
reward!
When a man keeps looking at
his watch. dear heart, 1t Is usually
a sign that he has either a brand
new watch--or a brand new IN.
TEREST.
No man was ever such total
wreck" that SOME woman didn't
think he was worth salvaging.

II FEEL all made over, ready to
i hit the line again. for I've
been visiting Nelly Browne.
Nelly Browne"-that sounds
gay and youthful, doesn't it?
She IS gay and youthful, although
she's well into her seventies.
A tiny womaa-blue eyes, teas
ing, twinkling under a glstening
tumble of white hair, delicate,
quick, bird-like motions, a sur
prising resonant voice, hope
full, eager voice, with a secret
chuckle running through its sup
pie rise and fall.
Most elderly reople are some
thing left over. Nelly Browne
is something that is. She's as
vitally alive, as much a person,
as that slim, red-haired girl rae
ing down the beach. But she
hasn't done it by concentrating
on herself. Rather she has done
it by deliberately turning away
from herself and looking at life.
Life has been, and is, a big
show to Nelly Browne. SHE
I1Ao NE bEI LIE i IL bECOME
A PURELY Personal EX-
PERIENCE. Therein lies the
secret OF her amazing youth.
Plenty Of things have happened
to her, plenty Of very hard
things. Sickness, poverty, strain,
the loss of those she loved, have
come but she has never let these
happenings blot out the larger
horizon. Always she has kept
her SENSE OF PROPORTION.

Binary Stars
BY Archibald Henderson

AS We observe the heavens
"A through a telescope, we are
inclined to suspect that certain
stars have a natural, rather than
accidental. grouping in space.
Orion's belt, the Pleiades, Ber-
nice's hair and even the Great
Bear itself cannot have been
formed by accident. Such is the
case with a remarkable category
Of stars, known as binary sys-
tens" They consist of but two
members and may be regarded.
astrononically. as the heavenly
state of matrimony.
Prolonged observations are
often required to determine
whether two stars are really
close together or. only appear to
be so. Photograp pns taken at In.
tervals of a few years will show
whether two such stars are NOV
ing steadily apart or not. In the
case of two stars which remain
associated, one star describes an
approximately circular orbit
about the other. Gravitation
keeps them together.
Consider a famous binary sys.
tenn, that of Sirius and its COM
panion, called respectively Sirius
A and Sirius B. This system is
S.65 light-years distant from the
kun--a light-year being the dis.
tance that light travelling at a
rate Of 1S6,330 miles per second,
traverses in a year. Sirius A is
2.45, Sirius B 0.S5 times the weight
of the sun. The luminosity of
Sirius A is 10000 times that of
Sirius 3. An estimate of the
dazzling brightness of Sirius A
may be made. when We consider

Mrs. Loken played Clara, the

Mrs. Guerin was adorable as the
sweet, old-fashioned mother; while
Mrs. Cahill as Betty left nothing

the charming daughter. Both
Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Kirkham
were realistic pictures of the prim

ASSOCIATED Press Science Editor

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Albert
Einstein, once a young school
teacher dissatisfied with plus and
minus signs in mathematics, now
the great Einstein of relatively,
is publishing another mathemati-
cal opus. perfected like his theory
of relatively by pursuing the ulti-
mate values of plus and minus.
His latest work explains the
relations between gravitation and
electricity. 1t is largely mathc-
NAUTICAL and it has been said that
few persons will understand it..
This assertion also was made
about relatively.
Einstein has written that he
did not say few persons could
understand relatively, but only
that few would undertake its
mathematics He began studies
of relatively. soon after graduat-
ing from school in Zurich, Swift
erland, in 1900. In nine years
while he worked as school teach
er and patent engineer he erys-
tallized his main ideas on rela-
tivity.
Some of his own examples of
this subject are very clear. One
is that a passenger on a moving
train sees the scenery as if in
} motion past him, while an OBJ
server standing outside sees the
train in molten. He wrote ques-
lions to show that both points of
view can be expressed logically in
mathematics.
The equations further show
that the time kept by a watch
aboard the train while in motion
is not exactly the same as that
of time piece belonging to an
observer stationary outside. Three
dimensions, he said, fix the posi-
ton. of point with respect to
earth, but as the earth is moving
in space, the point cannot be
fixed in space without adding the
time when it was observed Of
time thus considered he made
fourth dimension, and wrote
equations that showed it to be so
fundamentally.
He pointed out that when a
train stops suddenly, or starts
quickly. the passenger is thrown
forward or backward, and that
