But when he got to WatertoWn, he
found exactly the same conditions
that SO many boys and girls find
today. No job.

all over him. At last he had gone
TO every store in town, and there
was no job. Did he go home just
because he had canyassed every
store in town? Not at all. But he
would show them. He would have
one. anyway. He was determined
to sell.
He heard there was a freight
agent in town who had sort of
grocery store which he ran on the
side The man would take care
of the freight that came in. then
lock up his freight house and go
ever and unlock his grocery store.
Frank WoolWorth asked him for
a job. The freight agent said he
couldn't afford to pay him.
Il want to learn the business,
Frank WoolWorth said. I'll work
for nothing"
The man was astonished Work
for nothing But the gaWky boy
seemed honest and reliable, SO he
told him he might come. mot one
cent of pay. though, mind you.'
He gave him permission to sleep
in the rear of the store, and to
help himself to the cheese and
crackers. Fine! Just what he
wanted. A job. A place to sleep
Enough to eat.
Young WoolWorth started in
earnestly He studied the busi-
ness, learning a bit every day.
And then exactly four years later
When he was % years old, he got
the idea which made him rich, an
idea for five cent store (He
had not yet hit on the idea of the
larger figure)
Finally be launched his first five
cent store, but it was a miserable
failure. 1t gasped for breath for
three months and then choked and
died
He got a backer and started a
second store. That failed.
The first four stores he started
failed.
But he wouldn't give up. The
next one caught on. When he
died, twenty years ago this month,
he had more than 1000 stores. The
chances are that he would never
have had them if he hadn't taken
the job without pay and studied
merchandising.
So if yen can't gel a job. don't
be discouraged. Don't sit around
doing nothing, learning nothing
Why not do as WoolWorth did
Why not work for nothing until
You get experience? Sooner or
later, an opportunity will be sure
to come when you can put your
knowledge to work.

Is it? Well the United States is

1t Is a democratic republic.
The people govern themselves, but
not directly. They are governed
by popularly-chosen officials who
have certain powers as long as they
are in office People can replace
them with others if they don't like

but it is not pure democracy.
Is Sweden a democracy? Oh

(Continued from Page D for an official visit to London and is due to start talks here Tuesday morning.
 Chamberlain's unequivocal pledge to go to Polands aid if she Is forced to defend herself against attack holds good pending negotiations to solidify an agreement backed by military clauses for aid against Na1 aggression.
 As part of Britain's own contribu- tion, Chamberlain is expected next week to announce further important defense measures including the in- stitution of ministry of supply.
 For the present all cabinet minis tcrs and particularly those of the inner circle were asked to remain in close touch with No. 10 Downing street, the prime minister's official residence.
 Leslie Hore-Belisha, war minis ter, was expected to cancel a sched- uled visit to inspect the Gibraltar defenses next week unless tn situa- tion was clarified.
 Chamberlain followed up his House of Commons statement with a message, read last night, to the an- nual meeting of the Edgbaston di- vision of the conservative party as- sociation, which he represents in commons. He wrote:
 we are passing through difficult times but trust we shall presently see an improvement in the situa- tion. Our desire still is to remove any legitimate causes for grievance wherever they may exist. But any attempt at world domination would have to be resisted by this country along with others, as 1t always has been in the past"
 The Daily Herald, labor party or gan, asserted today that the labor party had rejected an offer which Chamberlain had made during the preceding 24 hours to give them three posts in the cabinet in order to broaden the basis of the govern ment and made a truly national one in the present situation.

 Bethel lobbyist and conspirat0r to the stand on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week remains an uncer- tainty, although it is accepted as logical in many quarters. MT. Alcorn refuses to comment on the sugges- ton.
 To date, in 70 sessions since Janu- ary 3l, Special Prosecutor Alcorn has called but 25 of the more than 60 witnesses he was reported to have subpoenaed at that time. That his case, particularly the testimony of Accountant Warren M. Brown, will be continued for many more weeks is certainty.
 The defense Is expected to require several weeks, arguments will be lengthy because of the number of clients and attorneys, Judge Inglis' charge will undoubtedly be time taking, and the jury's deliberation Is expected to be more than a one day affair.
 Unless MT. Shanahan suffers a relapse and further delays the trial from starting Tuesday. there will have been a total of II court days lost due to illness of principals.
 Initial testimony was delayed four days by the illness of Thomas J. Fleming, another day was lost when Attorney Thomas F. McDon- ough became i'll, and six days went by while MT. Shanahan was con- fined to his home.
 During the latest delay, defense counsel have prepared themselves for the cross-examination of Mac kenzie, who has confessed to the state that he conspired to defraud the city of Waterbury.

 All Germany awaited Hitler's speech, and Q rumor spread that he would denounce, today or later. the British German naval limitation treaty as one part of his answer to the British pledge to aid Poland in an attack which could come only from Germany.
 Hitler arrived at II a. m. and was greeted with roar of cheers.
 He was welcomed by Admiral Erich Raeder, commander-in-chief of the navy, and General Walter Won Brauchitsch, co9nriaander-in- chief of the army.
 Admiral Won Trotha, delivering the launching speech, said that the army was the basis on which the freedom and unity of the German people were based, but that the peo- pie should show this unity on the ocean as well.
 The news ship, sister ship of the Bismarck launched in February was named Won Tirpitz for Grand Ad- rniral Alfred Con Tirpitz of the World war navy. Admiral Tirpitz's daughter, Frau Rolf Won Hassel. broke the traditional bottle of cham pagne over its bow and the ship after a pause, went slowly down the ways as the crowd burst into shouts of "Heill" and a band played the national anthem.
 After the launching Hitler went to the new 26.0O0 ton battleship Scharnhorst for lunch, planning then to make his city hall square speech and board the new power through joy" vacation steamship Robert Ley to visit Helgoland Island. 35 miles out from shore, and in- spect the new Notifications there to- morrow, as he awaited international reaction to what was expected to be an answer to the British challenge.

 The second bomb, two hours later, damaged . gown shop and beauty parlor in fashionable Park Lane. All windows were blown from the building and the first floor and basc- ment were partially wrecked. A crowd that had gathered at the scene of the first bombing rushed to the second, which was nearby. Many were in evening dress. They had deserted night clubs for q new sport of touring the bolnbings.
 A few minutes later there was . blast at furniture store in Tot- tenham Court. All the windows were blown out. Police noted that all three of the premises bombed had concave, non-renecting show win- dows. They believed the bombs had been planted inside the window lodges.
 The next bomb smashed out the windows of 8 shoe store on Edge- ware road. It apparently had been thrown over an iron gate to the store. All bombings so far had been within two-mile area.
 Next, a policeman saw something thrown from taxicab onto the win- dow ledge of tailor shop on Edge- ware road. He summoned flying squad which found an unexploded bomb and decomuaissioned it with Q fire extinguisher.
 About that time policeman de- tained three men for questioning about the News Chronicle bombing.
 At 6:10 a. m. . bomb exploded at bank in Strand, opposite Charing Cross. It had been dropped through an iron grating in front of the bank to the basement where it wrecked a cloakroom. Several charwomen had narrow escapes.
 Another unexploded bomb had been found, meanwhile, in Bridewell place, . narrow lane of Fleet street.
 The trial of the second group of nine men charged with the I, R. A. bombings was completed yesterday in Old Bailey, with seven found guilty an dtwo acquitted.

 In addition to making his recom- mendation as regards Rumania, For- eign Minister Bonnet reported on the British pledge to aid Poland in repelling any German attack = a pledge with which France is asso- ciated by virtue of her own direct alliance with Poland.
 Bonnet also reported on the Jap- anese seizure of the Spartiy Islands lying between French Indo-C China and the Philippines.
 The Islands are nothing but coral reefs on which a few fisher families live. France occupied them in 1880 and again in 1883.
 France, recently, however, has been inclined to regard them as British, and the British have re- garded them as French. The fact is that neither country wants them very much-but neither wants Japan to have them because they could be made a threat to the Indo? China coast where France is building Yia- val base and also to the Singapore Hong Kong trade route.
