Myron Taylor Sounds
His VaIediCtoy

PITTS BURGH. March Is
GNS).-From Pittsburgh, tn e
city famous for its steel, today
went forth the valedictory of My
ron Taylor, retiring chairman OF
the board of United States Steel
Corporation, which, epitomized in
q phrase. was: Have confidence. "
Speaking in a firm but philo-
eophical vein, Taylor urged Amer
leans to catch his vision Of
great industrial nation emerging
from recession to still greater in
dustrial development in a civiliza-
ton propelled by steel.
EVIDENCE PLENTIFUL
Those who have lost confidence
were exhorted to look about them
at the evidences Of industry'S
greatness and visualize the future.
Taylor spoke to a handful of
reporters clustered about him yes
terday evening in an ornate room
in the exclusive DuqueSne Club
here after q rapid but exhaustive
inspection Of big Steel's" vast
properties from Birmingham to
Pittsburgh.
You can see what an i'm
portsnt part steel plays in our
hves-how basic it is to our
civilization. he said. 1T must
be as tremendous in the future
as in the past.
"FULL OF CONFIDENCE"
IF you get that impression,
you get what we do. You get
our enthusiasm that not only
dilutes but completely over
shadows our ills. That is one
reason we all feel energetic and
able to carry on under all cir
cumstances. With us it is a mat
ter Of being very realistic about
our particular job.
You have all seen the finest
examples of mans ingenuity in
the entire world in our plants
here. We are full of confidence.
We are practical men, otherwise
we wouldn't have the courage
to embark on the tremendous
projects we have undertaken"

Cask and Bottle
Trick Mysfifes,
BY THOMAS THE MAGICIAN.

ID! AnOmAS Ihk b4AGlCIAN,
A history instructor Of mine once
told me that . pun Is the lowest
type OF humor. Well. perhaps, but
nevertheless I can't resist the temp
tation to say that the trick this week
Is . "corker!"
Enect-The magician shows his
audience q large-necked bottle and
a small cork that will slide easily
through the neck of the bottle.
He sets the cork in the mouth of
the bottle. placing the bottle In q
horizontal position on q table, and
challenges any one present to blow
the cork into the bottle.
Every one who tries invariably
blows the cork out of the bottle in
stead Of into it. Finally the magician
tries 1t, and the cork goes In as
easily Is you please!
Observation-Disclosures trying this
trick will always give big pun, and
instead Of going into the bottle the
cork will usually come out into the
spectators face.
The whole secret lies in the fact
that . very easy pun and . pun
directed Is nearly at the center Of
the cork as possible viii do the job
much more easily than . hard pun!
A hard puff viii rush in and
around the cork and out again.
forcing the cork with 1t, but an easy
blow viii take the cork into the
bottle.
The audience will finally get onto
the idea. but until they do you have
Q real fooler!

CATS,

Cat history In Great Britain rivals
In interest that of ancient Egypt,
where the animals were considered
sacred. and to kill ONE deliberately
was = capital offense. Veneration
of cats probably sprang from their

Egypt was the granary Of the world.
An old Welsh law called felines
keepers of the royal granary.' If
any one killed the kings cat" he
was punished by being required to
pay as much corn Is it would take
to cover the animals body when
held up by the tip Of its tail. Under
an old English law, the price Of
kittens was fixed at a penny. When
proof was given that I kitten had
killed mouse, its price was doubled.
Today In England, cats which Are
household pets enjoy class distinc-
tons similar to those of their own
ers. There are drawing room cats,

My hobby is collecting miniature
dogs. I try to specialize in foreign
dogs, and I now have 80 foreign
dogs and Is American dogs.
Last summer I spent five months
touring Europe, and while there OBJ
tanned many new dogs. have one
dog from each Of the following
cities: Dublin. Ireland; Glasgow,
Scotland: London. England: Ham
burg and Berlin, Germany; Brussels
and Dinant. Belgium. and Inter-
laken, Switzerland.
My most valuable dog is a little
inch-long one from Prague. Czecho-
slovakia. All my dogs are less than
inches long, and none is taller
than 3 inches.
My Oldest dog is from Tientsin,
China. and have had him IL years.
I also have several china police
dogs from the Virgin Islands.
All my foreign dogs I collected
myself. and am very proud of
them.
I hope that many children who
are looking for an interesting hobby
will start to collect miniature dogs.
rs they are very fascinating.

PetsAreWhat

Experience With
Pigeons Cited
By Writer.
BY HORACE MITCHELL.

We make our own pets. We make
them into what we want them to be.
Many Of you may think that a
silly statement. You may say: But
I want my dog to be courageous. I
try to make him that way. But he's
just yellow. that's all. and can't
do anything about it."
But I'm going back deeper than
Just that. You may not think you
want your canary to fly away from
you every time you approach him.
But he will so long as you keep
pokine your finger at him and
making noises he thinks unfriendly.
You can't teach a dog not to be
afraid of water by throwing him
overheard. You've got to approach
the matter from the pets angle.
I know a flock of pigeons that
were once wild as hawks The boy
that owned them would try to make
them tame" by walking toward
them quietly with grain in his hand.
The birds thought that quiet walk
as dangerous as that of cat COM
ing toward them. So they'd get
away as fast as possible.
One day he tried another method.
He kept on trying it for a month.
and by that time the birds would
alight on his head and shoulders
every time they saw him. Instead
Of going toward them, he made them
come to him. That's usually the
best method to use. He fed the
pigeons every day. He put their food
in one spot all the time. And he
sat down a little distance of while
they ate it.
He sat quietly. too. The longer he
sat perfectly still, the longer the
birds stayed there. When he moved,
even to scratch his leg, they flew
away. After q few days he moved
closer to the food, then closer each
day until finally the pigeons were
scrambling around his feet without
paying any attention to him.
If we are always whacking our
dogs or soaring our cats, we make
them afraid of us and of everything
else, even if we think we don't want
them to be that way.
It's better to study out just what
We want q pet to be like, and then
try to make the pet that way by
means the pet will understand.

Watching Bobby Calls in action
with Mckinley High Schools Junior
varsity" football team, you'd ind
it hard to believe that, less than
five years ago, he was hobbling
around on crutches, victim of
infantile paralysis.
Bobby. now husky, rugged
limbed lad of II. was IL when the
dread disease sent him to Children's
Hospital-completely paralyzed in
one leg, partially paralyzed in the
other.
when he returned home about
four months later" his mother, Mrs.
N1illicent Calls. recalled, "he was
supposed to use wheel chair for
a while before trying to walk with
clutches. From the very first. how
ever. he refused to use the chair
in fact, he wouldn't even stand
for the brace that had been ordered
for one leg. He said he wasn't
going to be cripple"
Bobby's attitude may have arisen
from the fact that he was more
familiar with clutches than with
wheel chairs. Two years before,
he had spent about 4 month on
clutches as a result of q fracture
of his right leg, received when his
scooter crashed into a fireplug.
But gosh" BODY exclaimed,
"a broken leg was nothing compared
to infantile paralysis
The two or three months that
Bobby was on clutches the last time
was the most trying period" of
his mothers life, she said.
He was always throwing the
crutches down" she continued, land

toward restoring the usefulness of
Bobby's legs.

I was able to take a few steps with
out my crutches," Bobby said. Il
decided that If my legs could come

farther.

Aesob Vas a Slave
And a Cripple, but
He Became Famous

OF course. you are acquainted
with many of Aesop's fables. Have
you ever wondered just who this
famous storyteller was?
Aesop was 4 Greek slave who lived
from $40 to $50 BIC. He had a
brilliant mind. but an ugly. crippled
body. But this did not prevent his
becoming famous as q wise man
who could teach moral lessons In
short, pithy stories.
So great did his reputation be-
come that his master freed him.
and he went to live at the court of
Croesus, the very rich king OF
Lydia.
Aesop told his stories by word Of
mouth. and they were handed down
from one generation to another.
Two hundred years later they were
collected and written down. only to
be lost for . thousand years. Finally
they were discovered In 4 monastery
At Mount Athos In 1874 and given
again to the world.
