Along with the excitement in

a remarkable feat OF automobile
racing was accomplished.
Two daredevils OF the speedway
smashed two former marks in nego-
tiating the hardest and most peril

the twelve-mile. 22O0-fOOt course in

more than forty-fve seconds.
ShuItz's mark was 10 minutes, Al 6-lO

years ago.
And a few minutes later Bud

LEADERS SEEK

CHOOSING AIDS
Business Chiefs Reply to
Questions Put by
B. c. Forbes.

"Courage!" replied William O'Neil,
president of the General Tire and
Rubber Company, one Of the big
Five" in the rubber industry, when
asked by B. C. Forbes, nationally
noted economist and financial writ
er, to name the quality which he
rates first when he looks around for
responsible aids.
Four other American business
leaders named the same quality,
when questioned by Mr.. Forbes.
They were Walter P. Chrysler,
president Chrysler Corporation; T.
M. Girdler, president Republic
Steel; Roy D. Chaplin, president
Hudson Motor, and John Hays
Hammond, mining engineer.
Mr.. Forbes put his question to
fifty-one acknowledgements business
executives and corporation heads.
When twelve of them named
character as the quality most to be
desired in responsible subordinates,
Mr.. Forbes remarked:
Il neglected to ban character as
being too general, too all-embracing.
Consequently, more cited character
than any other one quality. Which,
would you guess. ranks next? Cour-
age. Incidentally, my observation
and experience have impelled me to
conclude that the one outstanding
characteristic most common among
men who have achieved notably is
courage"
Among the twelve who listed
character first we're, John D. Rookie
Teller Jr., Gerald Swope, r. E. Odds
and Colby M. Chester Jr.
Loyalty was given first place by
Charles M. Schwab, M. H. Ayles-
worth and two others.
Pierre S. Dupont and Alvan Ma
cauley were two of the three who
named reliability as the quality most
to be sought.
Adolph S. Ochs, publisher of the
New York Times, and three other
executives gave honesty as the most
desired quality in an aid.
George F. Kettering and Sewell L..
Avery, head of Montgomery Ward,
rank intelligence first.
Eugene G. Grace, head of Beth
lehem Steel, aid concentration; AL
fred P. Sloan Jr., head of General
Motors, honest thinking, and F. H.

Uncle Ray
A Little Saturday Talk.

A FTER the end Of Summer vaca-
ton, pupils are asked to write
compositions telling how they spent
the holidays. Would you like to read
about the way boys and girls in Eng
land enjoy their Summer vacation?
Recently I received q long letter on
that subject from Dorothie Smith, an
English girl who lives in Stratford on
Avon, and I want to share it with the
Corner family. The letter runs, in
part:
THE ambition and hope of every
child in the midlands Of England ID
to 90 to the seaside for at least q day
during the Summer holidays.
THE children, with their parents
start of early In the morning. Al
soon as they get to the sea they rush
down to the sands. The small ones
are armed with spades and buckets
and they make sand castles.
'"The older children swim and play
games with inflated balls. No one il
still-they rush about like wild things
The piers attract them, of course, fol
they hold many amusements. There
are machines where two may turn the
handles, thus making horses run races
or foot ballers kick balls.
There are gulls and ships to watch
and rides to take in speed boats. Meals
are eaten on the sands. close to the
sea. When the trains take them home
the boys and girls are tired, but feel
that they have had great enjoyment
Many Of the older children cycle
during their holidays. They take their
food and cycle with their friends into
the woods or the hills. They return
with wild fruit and flowers which they
have found.
Some, but not many, English chill
dren are good walkers and mixers and
spend their time walking for miles
through the country. Most boys and
girls enjoy picnics.
Those who love gardening have
time during the holidays to get heaps
done. spent good deal of my free
time in that way when we had a
garden.
Older children have camping trips.
With them they take kettles, cups,
saucepans, stoves, ground cloths and
blankets. For food they take timed
food, potatoes and anything else which
is cheap or easy to cook Camping is
especially nice when near a river, for
great fun may be had in the water"
That is the best word picture" I
have had of English children during
their Summer holidays. Once upon a
time I went on picnic with Dorothie
and dozen other children of STRAIT
ford-on-Avon. After we had eaten we
played cricket, the favorite game Of
boys and men in England.

to be active, not to be content to re-
main always on the sidelines taking
vicarious enjoyment in the splendid
skill and strength of the various play
ers. It is more healthful, both men
tally and physically, to become one of
the players oneself. There are out
door sports and hobbies and pastimes
to suit all ages and tastes.
The most important benefit that
may be derived from such pastimes
and sports or hobbies is a fresh view
point. 1t is hard to change old habits
of thinking when one remains in the
same old environment, but with a
change of scene and outdoor activity
and new human contacts the partici-
pant has the exhilarating expert
ence of being forced out of her ac-
customed rut Of stale habits. Sum-
mertime Is indeed a wonderful time
to acquire new habits of thinking,
eating, exercising and meeting life
with happy adventurous spirit.

Radio and Children
BY. ANGELO PATRI.

THE radio is now q part of daily
living. No household can escape its
influence even If it would. The chill
dren listen to their favorite programs
and talk them over with their friends.
Like 1t or not their new force is edu-
eating the children, forming their
tastes and moulding their opinions
1t behooves us to pay some attention
to the quality of the work it Is doing
Many parents complain about the
quality of the program to which their
children listen. They say something
like this: THE such and such pro-
gram is awful. 1t frightens the chill
dren so that they are afraid to go 10
bed. There ought to be law against
such programs being on the air."
Parents Of the older group complain
in similar fashion: 81 can't see why
such man is permitted to express
the opinions he does over the air when
thousands Of young people are listen
ing to him. This man ought to be in
jail for talking the way he does. Why
isn't he taken of the air?"
Music is the most popular form of
entertainment on the air. All kinds
of music are offered, the poorest and
the best. 1t Is possible to hear the
greatest artists in the world, or the
worst performers conveying the poor
est quality of music ever created dur
ing the same hour. Parents say, 81
do wish they'd stop putting such stuff
over. The children seem to prefer IL
to any other and it Is going to ruin
their taste for better things. Why
can't something be done about it?
Such programs ought to be forbid
den"
Many of these complaints are justi-
fed. Many programs are cheap and
mean to the utmost degree. But fol
the life of me I cannot see why there
should be any question about suppress
ing them when any radio owner who
has the power of his right hand car
close them out and tune the good
ones in. Why make laws and establish
bureaus to do what you can so easily
and with proper dignity do for your.
self?
believe in the force of public
opinion but I believe first of all ir
the force Of the individual. The feac
Of the household ought to have con.

When parents say, ooh, but he goes
next door and listens there" I am
sorry for them. Since when have
parents become so helpless? Since
when has a child's mistaken notion
OF entertainment or recreation become
the law of the household? The mushJ
weakness that permits child to have

ries its own punishment with 1t. Such
a parent is going to reap the harvest
Of his own sowing.
Listen to the programs that YOU
children tune in. If they are healthy
in tone, even If they are not classic
performances, let them alone. If they
are vulgar, cheap as to ethical values
tawdry in form and color, tell the
children so. Educate their taste. Helr
them find the better programs. There
are fine ones on the air. Don't shoulder
your individual responsibility of or
the community or upon that mythical
power, the law.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Learning.

Learning.
WE LEARN to skate, in Summer
and to swim in Winter" And
this expresses very good law for the
psychology of learning. It makes alb
solutely no difference what you are
trying to learn. The law will hold
whether 1t be a child learning to
write, spell or read; a young man
learning to play tennis or an older
man learning to play golf.
1t appears that we are all so con-
stituted that it takes time for new
habits to become "set." You practice
swimming one Summer; but when
you take it up again the next Summer
you ind that you can swim better
than you could at the time you left
OF. Something has been going on
in your nervous system during the
Winter months. You have been learn
ing to swim, although you were not
keeping up the practice.
Tennis players invariably find that
after they have practiced hard for
several days they become stale" !"
They seem to have reached their
highest point in efficiency. They go
to pieces" What has happened is
this: They have tried to attain hab-
its Of perfection faster than the nerv-
GUS system can take them on. In
other words, it requires a lapse of
time after every practice for the re-
suits of that practice to become set.
Any tennis player will tell you
that if he has practiced his serves,
strokes and volleys until he has
reached the stale stage, a lay-of of a
day or two finds him ready to play
a surprisingly good game.

way.
Then Bobby met Prickly Porky the
porcupine. AS he he'approached Prickly
Porky lifted his head and shifted.
Then he turned aside and climbed a
tree, grunting something unpleasant
about people who didn't know enough
to keep by themselves.
Chatterer the Red Squirrel was next.
and Chatterer was impudent. He
called Bobby names and jeered at him
for knowing no better than to get in
Jimmy Skunk's way. Jumper the
Hare hurried to distance and then
sat up to stare at Bobby in the most
scornful manner.
So it was with all his neighbors in
the Green Forest. Not one would
have anything to do with him. He
was an outcast, and suddenly he felt
very lonely. He felt very lonely and
miserable and thoroughly disgraced
DRnd wondered If ever again he would
be able to hold his head up. And

the best of social terms, the bald
pates do not hesitate to mingle with
the more industrious canvasbacks,
who are busily engaged in loosening
the tender wild celery from its moor
ings. When the tender roots float to
the top, the baldpate has gobbled it
up and by the time the canvasback
has tipped rightside up again, he
finds no floating roots there.
Besides this unneighborly act, the
baldpate or widgeon keeps up such
commotion with his wings and splash
ing the water that they make a grand
nuisance of themselves to the other
ducks on the lake. They are alert
and wary and possibly are responsible
for many canvasbacks b0ing warned
Of approaching sportsmen
As the ice closes over the open
rivers, lakes and eStuarieS of large
streams. the baldpates go farther
south.
About April you win see them again.
All dressed up in their wedding finery.
The grown birds are from 18 to 20
inches long. The male has a crown
of white and the sides of his head
from his eye to the nape of his neck
Is lovely glossy green, slightly
speckled with black His cheeks and
throat are buff marked with fine lines
and dots of black Back, shoulders
and rump are a brownish-gray, finely
waved with dusky. Upperbreast light

but their bridal gowns are fresh and
new.
When the birds reach their home
site, the nursery is the first considera-
ton of the mother. The nest is al
ways located on the ground and near
water. 1t is cleverly concealed by the
tall grass when possible. There are
from to II buffy white eggs, laid
point to point in a way not one
spsck of space is wasted. During
incubation the eggs are moved about
in order that all may receive the
required amount of warmth When
left, the mother covers them with
down plucked from her breast.
As soon as the down is dry on the
wee babies, they are active little in
quisitive fellows. When the mother
has decided to build some distance
from the water. they are guided there
by the parents. After a swimming
lesson, they go back to their nursery
until finally they are old enough to
remain on the water, instead of the
daily trip. Until they have their
feathers. they cannot "tip-up." So
they busy themselves with all the
tiny floating tender bits on the sur
face of the water. 1t is not long,
however, until you see thesyoungsterS

where wild celery, rice, sedges and
tender aquatic plants are to be found.
A veteran gander leads the way.
He knows the most direct route to
the southlands and also the best
places for stop-overs. At this time
the birds are in their prime and
blinds" and decoys of every kind are
placed on the duck shores" of Mary
land and other States. Having such
regular habits and routes, sportsmen
have little difficulty in locating great
flockS of baldpates
At this time the baldpateS are
spending their days eating and sleep
ing on the water. After a fine supper
of wild celery and rice, you can see
them, one by one, go to the water
and swimming well out into it, tuck
their heads under their wings and
settle down for a good nights rest
as you would on your bed.
At dawn they are eagerly searching
for their breakfast. 1t has been
noted that baldpateS are not at all
averse to having their neighbors, the
canVasbacks, do their diving for them.
Some very convincing evidence is to
this effect. Though not seemingly on
