Developing
Will Power

"Give Yourself A Chance" is
q thick blue volume in which
Gordon Byron extends a help
ing hand to almost everyone
able to read and remember.
If you can't read someone can
read it to you. Of course. But
you have to be able to remem.
ber. Should lack Of will power
be the trouble, Mr.. Byron has
the cure neatly tabulated. It
all comes under the head Of
proper training and that, after.
all, is what the book is chiefly
about.
Most of us make enemies,
feel inferior, fly into panics and
become sluggish personalities
only through bad habits. It's
Byron's idea that these can be
thrown off and replaced with
better ones. The trick is a long
and carefully worded self-analy-
sis test.
There are 108 questions. The
perfect score is $40. A good
average score is around 800.
Take it now and repeat the self
appraisal at regular periods, say
once a month. Set yourself a
definite gain for each period.
A gain of Is points is consid.
cred very good. The energetic
soul may do even better. The
test isn't difficult. It has to
do with what most of us do with
our daily lives. 1t stresses the
importance of little things,
training being more like a series
Of steps than desperate leaps.
Nobody has to be a paragon to
pass up to the $40 score point.
But more than likely, anybody
who does will be something of q
success.
Mr.. Byron says so and Mr..
Byron ought to know. Success
stories are Mr.. Byron's speciality.
He tells how others won it and
a will to improve is all anyone
needs at the start.-E. w.

gram Of the Post Office Depart
ment for 1888.
WORKING OUT DETAILS
No details of this new series
have been worked out. However,
it is reasonably assured that all
three adhesives will be patterned
after the Scent Constitution
stamp issued last September II.
This means that classic paint
ings from Americas masters will
be reproduced as the main
theme Of design, with the deco
rative embellishments that
frame the first stamp used to
keep the entire set in analogous
design rotation.
At this writing, the denomina-
tions have not been decided
upon, nor the color nor the ink.

GunRunning
Tale Thrills

The French novel, published
In England under the title of
'Mollenard," and now brought
to the American book lover
under the banner, "The Captain
Had a Wife," is a thrilling story
of virtue triumphant but empty
in victory.
It is a timely tale, given to
the reporting of a dangerous
and exciting business known in
popular circles as gun running.
The translation worked out by
Warren Bradley Wells surely
carries the flavor of such a
meaty, intense and we'll directed
story as the author, o. P. Gil.
bert, intended.
EASY MONEY
Captain Mollenard is in COM
mand of a French freighter that
travels in such exciting waters
as those which wash upon Port
Said, Shanghai and Africa.
Captain Mollenard has a crew
that is with him to the man.
He is well aware that the pay is
poor and so to his fertile mind
there comes plans for the max.
ing Of a little easy money on
the side. He takes the chance,
time and time again.
WIFE WINS FIGHT
At home, however, in Dunkirk
there is a wife. A mother, one
should say, more than a wife.
And, two children. Marie,
sickly unwilled, headed for a
convent and Jean a boy, headed
for the priesthood. Each having
been guided by a hand Of iron,
bound in all the righteousness
that can be gathered unto the
most virtuous of all virtuous
wives of strong, self-willed, i'm
moral, reckless bands.
Madame Mollenard employs all
of the rigidity that her Christ
ianity can give her to fight
Satan in the form of her huS.
band and in the end she wins
He is beaten. He is cast down
from his high and mighty ways
but in the end there is no happi
ness for her reward.

generally, there is bound to be
an all-around increase in prices
