the greatest, as well as one of the most thrilling individual achieve Inents Of 1893 was the victory of Oxford's Jack Lovelock over Bill Bonthron of Princeton, in a one- mile footrace in which boch smash ed all world records to smitheresns. Bonthron, greatest American col lege runner since John Paul Jones of Cornell, had not been defeated and was considered by partiSans well-nigh invincible up to that lazily pleasant July afternoon un- der the elms of Old Nassau. After setting the pace from the start, Bonthron was passed and beaten by several yards in the stretch as Lovelock broke the tape in the un- precsdented time of 4 minutes, 7.6 seconds. Bonthron's time of 4:08.1 also surpassed anything previously recorded in foot-racing history.
 Even this marvellous track duel failed to obscure the fact that there are two other runners quail fled 10 challenge either Lovelock CT Bonthron or both at any time or any middle distance. measured in meters or yards. They are the berrel-chested boy from Kansas Glenn Cunningham, national 1500 and mile champion, who has yet tc match strides with his countryman and Luigi Beccali of Italy, world champion at 1900 meters who likely will show his flying heels to in- door rivals on the American boards this winter.
 Hubbell The Years Hero
 Jack Lovelock, Carl Hubbell Fred Perry and John Goodman achiev- ed the four greatest personal tri- umphs of the year, considering the pressure and the circumstances un- ! der which each rose to the tor with his best performance. Hub bell led the pitchers of both major leagues with the finest record fc, effectiveness since 1916 and was 1 the hero of the world series as ths Giants completed one of the most striking marches in baseball an nals. Goodman, best of the anna teur golfers since Bob Jones re- tired, came flying through an all- star field to win the United States open championship Yet it was the irony of a turbulent season that the Nebraska youth himself was the victim of a major re- versal in losing in the first round of the national amateur tourna- ment to the veteran Chan Egan.

WILL THERE BE ANY JOBS LEFT

Most young people busy as they are with school
and sports, do not think much about the bread and

anxiety of their parents, and they hear of many
educated young men and women for whom there
seems to be no place in the business world. Per-
hapS ones own brother or sister is unemployed.
At times, a boy may ask: "Will there be any
job for me, when I am 81? The situation is indeed
puzzing. But there is no need to lose heart about
it. The field of employment is always changing.
There always have been, and always will be new
ways of making living. 81 go. 'f- &c.
Would anyone ever have imagined, in the Eng
land of King Richard'g day, that shipbriding and

lures, radio, etc, would lead to enormous indus
tries? And who knows what may be just around

OR FAILURE

ACHIEVEMENTS OR FAILURE
In his broadcast on September
30th, the president is quoted as
saying, "These industrial develop
ments hold promise Of new
achievements for the nation
Let me ask what promise of
achievement is there in his IA
labor laws, which encourage labor
to acquire a stranglehold on the
business of our country and to
create condition in which pri-
vately owned industries cannot
survive: can one read the promise
in the unrest, confusion, strikes
and violence. Ell over our land,
caused by this vicious IA? What
promise Of achievement is in the
killing Of millions Of hogs, the de-
.tIuction of cotton, in removing
J fifty millions OF acres from Guilt
walton and in paying hundreds Of
millions Of dollars to the owners
TO cease production?
What promise Of achievement
is there in price raising, which UNI
der immutable economic law, will
reduce consumption and increase
unemployment, at time when
millions are out of work?
Takc the building industry
which has been hit the hardest.
The \. r. A. has raised the price
Of materials and labor from fifty
to one hundred per cent; no one
but fool would undertake to
build for investment or sale I'M
der these conditions.
Where is the promise of achieve
mcnt in the increased cost Of liv-
ing, which is taking an additional
toll Of thirty to fifty millions of
dollars daily, from nation al
ready ovcrburdened with taxes,
impoverished by debt, to which is
being added billions Of dollars OF
national obligations? What prom
, Use Of achievement is there in the
fact that after scattering billions
Of dollars to help recovery the
Babson chart shows business con,
ditions two per cent below that OF
a year ago, while forty thousand
were added to unemployment last
month?
What promise Of achievement
is there in our country, going be.
hind five hundred millions of dol
lars during the months of May
June and July.
What promise of achievement
is in the reduction and elimination
of surplus in agricultural products
to hand to mouth supply. or as
it is called "a balanced supply and
demand; what would be our con-
dition now, after this drought if
such food control, or rather fool
control, had been in operation?
These developments and many
others give no promise of achieve
ments, they forecast nothing but
failure and disaster.
The president and his advisors
have been "thc poison ivy in the
garden Of industry"
Our only hope is in the supreme
court, or by the election Of a ma
jority to congress who will honor
their oath of office and with
enough red blood TO say to the
president, "Back to your lexecu-
tive duties, back to your knit

BRANCHING OUT
Rv WICKES WAMBOLDT,

one else, adopt the slogan: MAKE
haste slowly"
Capable managers for branch
establishments are not easy to OBJ
tain: They have to be time-trled
and fire-tested before they can be
relied on safely. Successful chain
store organizations give their
branch managers extensive pre-
paratory training; then keep them
under close, rigid, expert super
vision.
To open a branch store and put
it in charge of somebody who has
never made good at running a
store, is worse than a hundred to
one bet. ,
If a man has made money, and
has saved money in the operation
of his business and wants to risk
that money in opening up branch
store, that is one thing. If the
scheme is failure and he will Il
uuidate the enterprise before 1t
involves him in debt and endan-
gcrs his main establishment. he
will at least have gone through an
interesting experience without
wrecking his affairs.
But hazardous thing to 90 IS
to expand on borrowed capital. \
man does well if he can make his
business pay him an average oil
six per cent net. If he has to start
out paying an annual rent Of SIX
per cent on money he has borrow
ed, in addition to the annual sum
he must set aside to retire his
debt. he is severely handicapped
and burdcncd in his hike toward
success.
Business should branch out as
a tree branches out--slowly and
surcly-expanding on reserves
previously accumulated, pushing
the new enterprise no more rap
idly than it can be sustained by
the parent body and its own
strength.
The President has so much pow
er he can get anything he wants
except unbiased information.
