 There is so much in liking the work you do that, even if offered more money at something did not like, I think I would stick with the thing that appealed to me more. And l would be thinking of my own success in doing that. For, when we are working on things we like, we can put in more extra hours, we take more extra pains, we can do better job. Doing the things we like, we tire less easily. We are inspired toward finding better ways. and we are able to contribute so much more than we may be actually paid for at the moment that advancement cannot fail to be rapid.

WOOD FLOORS ON CONCRETE

ONE very common complaint O that l hear is the bulging and Warping of wood floors that are laid on concrete floors in cellars. A eel lar floor is usually laid directly on the earth. and inevitably contains moisture. The surface may appear dry, but even so, there Is con tinuous passage of moisture through the floor and into the air of the eel lar. When anything is laid on the concrete, evaporation is prevented; moisture collects. and wood, lino- leum. rugs or anything similar will suffer. A wood floor laid on con crete is particularly likely to rot. In absorbing moisture. wood swells and buckles.
 Any covering for concrete cellar floor should be waterproof and of material that will not rot As phalt either in the form of tiles or as sheet, is satisfactory: for mois ture cannot injure it Asphalt tiles can be had in many different colors, and form a most attractive floor They are laid in asphalt cement. which is also used in laying asphalt in sheet form.
 When a wood floor is to be laid on concrete, one method is to cement it down with layer of the same kind of asphalt cement; "mastic" is its usual name. This is becoming very common method of laying

When he was twenty -four he returned to the farm and ran a sawmill. experimenting in his spare time with a steam car. There was never a question in his mind about what to do with time.
 His father was not in sympathy with Henry Ford's experiments, so he again went to Detroit, and worked for a power and light com pany as an engineer on the night shift. During the seven years that he was there he became general manager; and night after night. at home, he worked far into the morn. ing hours in developing a gasoline motor car. Success came from his experiments at last, and in order to popularize the new vehicle. Hen- ry Ford built racing cars and drove them himself in race after race. You know where Henry Ford stands today.
 His life is the story of time well used. It is an example worth re- membering the next time you are wondering 'how to kill time."

 He asked Sammy just where he had seen the stranger, and Sammy told him that it was way deep in the Green Forest, beyond the pond built by Paddy the Beaver. Now. Blacky believes that the only way to make sure of things is to see them, and not be content with the word of some one else. So he sud- denly made up his mind that he would visit the place where Sammy Jay had seen the stranger. He in- vted Sammy to go along with him, but Sammy refused. It was very plain to see that Sammy was afraid of the stranger. Blacky chuckled to himself as he flew over the pond of Paddy the Beaver and so deep into the Green Forest.

Political, Says
| Judge Luhring

Resident Commissioner OF the
Philippines Joaquin M. Elizalde,
who resides here at the Shoreham
Hotel, today won a victory in Dis
trict Court when suit to challenge
his taking his seat in the House OF
Representatives in January was
thrown out of court.
Justice Oscar r. Luhring sus-
tanned a motion by Mr.. Elizalde' S
counsel to dismiss the action against
him. The resident commissioner S
attorneys argued that the House of
Representatives Is exclusively en-
titled to pass on his qualifications
to take his seat.
Porfirio U. Sevilla of New York
City sought to prevent Resident
Commissioner Elizalde from acting
in that capacity. Mr.. Sevilla.
through his counsel, contended that
until September Mr.. Elizalde was a
citizen of Spain and then became
a naturalized citizen of the Philip
pine Islands and thus did not possess
the required legal qualifications to
take his post here.
Justice Luhring adopted the view
of Mr.. Elizalde's counsel that the
question before him was political
and not a juridical one.

Hold the presses-but not too long
the international week for report
ing sea swells is over.
All last week, when nations were
troubled with problems foreign and
domestic, hundreds of ships were
busy collecting information on bill
lows that make up the billowy deep.
Landlubbers might scoff but the
Weather Bureau doesn't discount
the asks importance. When the
swell OF history has buried 1898, data
discovered last week may have had
a more far-reaching effect than
some of the headline news.
Little is known about sea swells
and when the Commission for Mari
time Meteorology of the Interna-
tional Meteorological Organization
met this summer, it decided to do
something about them.
Accordingly, November IA to 10
was set aside as international week
for reporting sea swells in the North
Atlantic, including the Gulf of
Mexico and the Caribbean. 1t was
the first time the subject was studied
from an international angle.
How do you report sea swell?
First, they must be measured four
times a day and this means report
ing on their height, length, velocity
and the direction from which they
came.
Then you send your information
to Washington.

Democratic Leaders
Meet With Farley
In Closed Session

Says Republican Coins
Are to Be Discussed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21-Half a
hundred top Democratic leaders,
representing the area from the
Mississippi east to the Atlantic, met
today with Postmaster General
James A. Farley to take private
stock of the post election situation,
and to discuss future Democratic
policies with 1910 in mind.
They had been called here with
out public announcement by Mr.
Farley. who is the party's national
chairman, and Democratic national
committee headquarters was ex-
traordinarily reticent about the con-
ference.
The meeting, which was closed,
had been described officially as de-
signed to make plans for the Gus
tomary Jackson Day dinner of jan
uary 8, but an authoritative source
conceded that a main unstated pur-
pose was to talk over Republican
gains in the elections of November 8.
A number of national committee
men from Southern and Eastern
States were among the conferees.
Among the matters under discus
sion was the recent activity of Mayor
F. H. La Guardia of New York in
undertaking to spearhead what he
has termed a solidification of the
country's progressive forces.
Some regular Democrtic leaders
have given evidence of concern that
the Mayor, himself member of the
minority American Labor party, had
the creation Of a third party in
mind.
The Democrtic assemblage prob
ably will extend to tomorrow, with
only selected leaders remaining
over.
One source intimated that there
was a desire, among other things, to
attempt to dispel any remaining
party coolness due to President
Roosevelt's efforts in the primaries
to purge certain members of Con-
greSs unsatisfactory to him.
