One of the most interesting biog-
raphies have ever read was that
recently published on the career of
Walter P. Chrysler. He had a fair
for mechanics. He started in a railroad
shop at the very bottom. He investi-
gated the function of every part of
locomotive; he learned to make repairs
quicker than anyone else could make
them. He rose to be a master me

and examined an automobile, in 1905,
he switched over from railroad engi-
neering to automobiles without hesita-

The question of good manners is of
high importance in business life. Good
manners towards ones fellow workers
are just as important as courtesy to-
wards ones customers or clients. In
large shop or business enterprise of
today, an impolite employee is rarity.

nHERE is no task quite so fear
some as that of trying to get a
lob. The dread of it, the fear of
doing something stupid. OF say
ing the wrong thing, of not making a
good impression - all this tends to
reduce the eager applicant to state of
trembling incoherency.
But don't be alarmed don't imagine
the man who is granting you an inter-
view is an ogre. Employers. despite the
harangues of labor agitators, are
human beings after all, with knowl-
edge and perhaps an appreciation OF
human nature and its many short
comings. They don't expect the i'm
possible. Nor do they expect young
man or woman of twenty to have
superhuman intelligence or ability.
1t is necessary. of course, to put
your best foot forward when applying
for a position. no matter what sort OF
opening it may be.
For the purposes of being definite, l
am assuming that you are a young
man of twenty, or little more, nice
looking. possessed of high-school
and possibly a college education, per-
haps equipped with short experience
in business house. and filled with
ambition and determination to finish
whatever you begin. beginners who
don't see things through always re-

vacancy, and approach the man in
charge of employment.
How to act? Well. the most helpful
advice can think of is to give you
a list of don'ts and dos - probably
more don'ts than dos!
Don't fail to be neat in your appear
ance - clothes brushed, nails clean
(unless you are a mechanic), shoes
shined, hair cut and orderly.

viewer has finished his question.

 We feel we are in the most .oglcal position to pursue this program of wolf extermination We operate mink farms and thru arrangements with native rein deer companies we receive 10 reindeer for every wolf killed. We feed the reindeer meat to the mink. Others who kill wolves al so receive 10 reindeer per dead wolf, the Eskimos receiving ten females while we receive 10 mal- es. The territory has been pay ing $20 bounty on wolves. From the cut up skins of wolves we receive in our trading posts $50 per skin. Figuring the cost of the reindeer at $l0 per deer, we there fore receive Sl70 per dead wolf.
 We use our plane to contact our various posts and farms and it will be while on these flights forth and back between these points that they can concentrate on killing off as many wolves as possible.
 "On one trip out of Kotzebue we noted several punches of dead reindeer left by the wolves. The herd must have numbered about l50 to start with, but after the vol yes had driven them for only a couple days, as estimated by the frequency of the killings, we found the remnants of the herd numbered only eleven when we decided to fly around and check up on this particular foray. And that's killing them off pretty fast.
 "Depredations on wild life in the Selawik, Shungnak and Noa- talk ranges during the past year have resulted in about half of the reindeer herds being exterminat- ed by the marauding wolves which have been multiplying rap idly in these sections around Kot- zebue. It is therefore imperative
