father, a Methodist minister IN the
small village of Leesburg, Ohio, dled
when John was only twelve: so
Johns education came to a halt.
He had been a helpful sort OF boy
and people liked him. At school
he had helped the teacher. The
teacher liked him. SO when he told
the teacher that he was leaving
school to 90 to work, the teacher
offered to swap services with him
He would teach John during the
evening. if John would light the
schoolhouse fires, sweep up, and
do a few chores. Later on John
got a job as an errand boy in a
grocery store, keeping up his studies,
while he labored fourteen hours a
day. John saved 500.
There was a lot of talk at that
time about an oil boom over in
PENNSYLVANIA. John stuck a sand
wich in the pocket of his overalls
and headed for the oil fields. He
learned to drill, to refine crude oil,
and the other necessary steps in
this great industry.
And he went right on making
people like him. How did he do
it? He did it in the same way you
can do it. He had the splendid
habit of looking for what was lik-
able in other people. Naturally,
other people began to look for things
that we're likable in him. The head
of the company noticed that every
body liked John. At the age of
nineteen, John was made a partner
in the company!
One night John met the power
ful John d. Rockefeller, his COM
pany'S rival. Rockefeller was cap
tiyatej by the younger mans WIN
ming personality. At the age of
twenty-seven. John D Archibald,
then president and chief stockhold-
er OF his own company, joined
Rockefeller's company and became
successfully a director, vice -presi-
dent. ana president of the Standard
Oil company.
Undoubtedly success came to John
d. Archibald, largely because folks
liked him!"
Did you ever see an unhappy
horse? Did you ever see a bird
that had the blues? One reason
why birds and horses are not un-
happy is because they are not try
ing to impress other birds and
other horses.
J. P. Morgan believed in shar-
ing burdens with his co-workers.
He himself was capable of doing
everything he delegated to others
but he did not believe in the "one
man principle.

EDITOR, The POST PRESS:
Referring to your recent immigration article.
Some years ago the writer watched the netting
of criminals in a certain Mediterranean district.
The constabulary crossed the district like an
advancing battle line. Everyone without a regis
tration card arrested. Inability to produce
same, was under their law, equivalent to a plea
of guilty The Judgment uniformly Sen
tence to an island desert rock penal settlement
or a passport only too evidently near the United
States
Against the infiltration of such alien crimin-
ais we still lack protection. We are the only
tirSt-Cass power that does not register its aliens
An alien registration act would help our country
OF what the congressional record says are 81
million alien criminals. In most overseas ma
tions the police can locate an alien within few
hours

Oldest Cemetery

COLONIA SAN RAFAEL, Mexico
City. CUP)-Here in a sequestereo
spot along Calzado Melchor Ocam-
DO. on Mexican soil, is the oldest
national cemetery owned and main
tanned by the U. S. government
older even than Washin9tons great
Arlington.
Sleeping IN the sun, marked by
many rows Of neat white stones, is
the community Of silent people
Few Americans, even those who live
in Mexico City, know that it is the
oldest national cemetery.
Surrounded by a high wall, its
stone dotted greenSWard studded
with great trees, it is an impress
sive and peaceful place, but one spot
is more impressive than any other
that being about a stone shaft
which is inscribed with the follow
ing words;
ITO the memory of the American
soldiers who perished in this valley
in 1847, whose bones, collected by
their country'S order, arc buried
here
Lie i'm One Grave
NamelesS, these $50 who lie III
one grave, but among them, per-
haps are many who followed Capt.
Samuel Walker and Col. Jack Hayes
in the regiment Of Texas Rangers
which, nearly a century ago, storm
ed Chapultepec and fought on the
field of Molino del Rey.
Capt. Ernest Hippo is custodian
and superintendent of Americas S
oldest national cemetery. AS the
marker says. the bones were col
lected from the various battlefieldS
of the American war with Mexico
and buried here in 1847. They came
from Contreras, M0lino del Rey,
Chapultepec and Mexico City.
Arlington, the great national ce-
metery in Washington, came into
being during the Civil war, but
this spot of foreign soil was bought
by the u. S. government by act OF
Congress in 1850 and the sale was
conSummated in June, 1851, the
government obtaining the plot from
the family of Manuel Lopez for the
sum Of $1,000
Not All Americans
Besides the 750 U. S. soldiers
buried in one mound 8l3 others
rest under the uniform white stones
under the trees Most of them arc
Americans who have died in Mex
leo, but there are a few Germans,
French and McXiCanS.
In ono corner lie few members
Of the Del Rio family, ancestors OF
Dolores Del Rio, the movie actress
Hippo says there has always been
a tradition that among the bones
of the $50 American soldiers is one
Mexican-one of the cadet defen-
ders of ChapulLepec castle, a group
which now holds an immortal place
in Mexican history. The tradition
is that his bones were mingled with
those of the Americans who died
in the storming of the castle.
Across a fence from the oldest
U. S. national cemetery is another
graveyard, its headstoneS dating tC
1900 corner of a foreign field
that will be Forever England"

This Complex Age
HaverbjII (Mass.1 Gazett

Every human activity has .
language of its own. If you want
to get an idea of how complex
many of thes activities have be-
came, examine their languages.
Consider, for instance the
poultry business That used to be
simple for hens and for farmers.
The hens ate scraps from the kit
chen and grain that the farmer
raised. They roamed the barnyard
and nearby field in summer and
generally were content with a lean
to in winter. If they supplied
enough eggs for the table and a
few to swap for groceries at the
local store and an occasional frica-
ssee, the farmer was satisfied. And
hen was hen, complete unit
in herself, and so was an egg.
Now the poultry business is highly
specialized and produces such re-
ports as the one from Exeter, NH,
on an egg-laying contest, score
of 1888 New Hampshires and
66.27 from which we learned that
Cornell hdd eggs, Jnat Cummings
had a score of Alb New Hamp-
Shires and 63.87 eggs. and that
Johnson had score of 24666 New
Hampshires and Barred Rocks and
G3 eggs.
How johnson avoided a fraction
Of an egg, we don't know And fur
thermore, we don't know what the
report means. The language is
strange. But that is what happens
when a simple business gets COM
pleX.

carried away by their enthusiasm,
and the noise of their combined
cries of eXhortation, approval, and
satisfaction had attracted the at
tion of the law.
There's just a possibility that
this theory might not stand up
under a really rough assault, but
the thought has frequently been
intruding itself of late that some
thing like a renaissance of the
frontier spirit can be detected
creeping up on us in the develop
ments of the public taste in
number of fields. Creeping up eSpe-
cially, of course, on the city
dweller. 1t takes the city feller to
come up with discoveries of things
their country cousins knew all
along.
1t may not be accurate to call
it the frontier spirit. 1t may be
just an assertion of the city boys
occasional dim nostalgia for a ru-
raj life he is acquainted with only
by hearsay Whatever IL is, it's
something. A man oughtn't to
stick his neck out to the extent
of prophesying such things as
coon hunting in city parks and the
roping and branding of taXicabS,
but we wouldn't be too surprised.

PASSENGER SAVED PILOT.

An airplane zoomed crafty over
the marine corps flying field at San
Diego. Calf. in March, 1882. 1t
careened and wabbled in such a
fashion that the watchers on the
ground knew that something had
gone wrong.
They had no knowledge that far
overhead a life-and death drama
was being played with two human
lives at stake. The principals in
this dilemma were Sergeant Orla
S. Hofer, the pilot, and the other
his passenger, Corporal Himer N.
former, who was unskilled in the
management of airplanes.
Torner, from his seat in the cock
pit saw his pilot lurch forward over
the controls; the plane began to
spin diizzify. The corporal realized
that his pilot had tainted and that
both were faced with a sudden and
horrible death unless he took
prompt action.
The plane began to make a quick
but erratic descent toward the
ground. former stood up in his
cockpit, pulled the unconscious ser,
geant away from the controls, and
began to maneuver the machine
himself. With less than rudi-
mentary knowledge of aircraft, he
managed to gain more altitude.
When the plane responded to HI!
efforts to straighten it out and avoie
an immediate crash, he gained NOR,
confidence. Finally he mastered /
sufficiently to bring it to the grount
on a fair landing field. With tn
motor still running the plane sWunl
around in circles, until Torne
eventually found the throttle con
troll and brought it to stop.
Sheer courage had saved Tor
ner's life and the life of his com
panion. When watchers rushed t
the side of the plane former ha
already removed the unconsciou
pilot and was applying first aid.
