Famous Sayings

Europe poises trembling on the
brink of the abyss.
Every thinking leader in every
country knows that a long-drawn
out general war, sweeping from
Asia and North Africa across all
Europe to Gibraltar and Lands
End, would be a death blow TO
civilization as we have known it.
Yet not one responsible European
leader will get up on his hind legs
and attempt to organize peace in
stead of war. BY peace, we mean
organized peace, not a mere stale
mate and truce between wars while
feverishly preparing for the next.
The continual state of crisis, the
crushing burden of arms, the Sus-
picion, the hatred that mark the
present state of not-war, is only
less destructive than war itself.
This is not peace.
Let us suppose that war comes.
After brilliant initial victories, the
struggle will bog back into an
other long, Slogging endurance con-
test of blood-letting, with victory
going to that country or alliance
of countries which is last TO give
way to internal revolution and
chaos.
Then will come the peace con-
ference And how else can such a
conference end than the last one
ended? Into the next 'peace" will
be distilled the hatreds, the fears,
the jealousieS, the desperation of
the next war. 1t can not be other
wise.
Is there no way to speak to the
peoples themselves? They do not
want war. They never want war.
They know all too well that they
are the ones, not the leaders, who
must die ON the barbed wire.
Is there not one responsible
statesman in Europe willing TO
make a fool OF himself" by de-
manding that a peace conference
be held now, instead of amid the
ruins of Europe five years later?
1t would be hard for his appeal

MIGHT DRIVING
HAZARDS
(Hanford Sentinel

(hanl0fu Se0Jnti)
Are you afraid of the dark? You'd
better be, in case you're the driver OF an
automobile or happen to be a passenger
during the hours between sunset and
sunrise.
Why? Simply because statistics show
that six out Of ten deaths in highway
accidents occur when three-fourths of
the automobiles are safe i'm their garages
and the other fourth is out i'm the night
air.
Just what part the darkness plays in
the death toll may never be determined
to any degree of accuracy. The fact re-
mains that many times more persons are
killed per mile travelled at night than
during the daylight hours.
Lack of headlights. glaring headlights,
headlights cut Of focus and "One-eyed'
cars all play their part in the toll. The
factor Of greater incidence, in nighttime
accidents however, has little to do with
lights 1t Is the spirit of reckessness that
seems 10 grip too many drivers.
knowing the highways to be less crowd
ed during night hours too many drivers
Just step on the gas and let er go. En-
ceSSiVe speed and exceptional hazard Is
the result Others take few nips of
spirits to keep them awake and the mix
ture of rum and gasoline is poisonous
10 highway safety.
That most drivers who figure in fatal
crashes at night are young many of them
in the teen age, is an indictment Of ir-
responsibility that the young Of the day
should counter by adopting a saner
course Of driving.
Even if you're not afraid Of the dark
better watch that throttle, too!

ARE WE INTERESTED IN
EUROPEAN CONTROL?

An interesting dispatch By Alex Nor
ris, United Press cable editor, in this
paper yesterday quoted odds against
peace in Europe-and told why diplo-
mats and foreign office experts in every
capital i'll the world think there is more
likelihood Of war than Of peace. Boiled
down, the reasons all come to one thing:
Germany insists on exercising control
over the destinies of Central Europe
and Great Britain insists that Germany,
for trade and economic reasons, take a
secondary place. Britain, in other words,
insists upon keeping Germany weak so
that British trade will not suffer
The same situation caused the World
War-we know that now Diplomats be-
lieve it will cause another war in the
near future
Americans, knowing the cause if there
is a war, can ask themselves:
DO we want to get into it so we can
protect Great Britain against German
competition"
If the answer is NO" we'd better stay
ont of war

Willis Thornton's Editorial Or.
Will No Responsible European Propose Peace

to reach people in those countries
where press and radio are so rigid
" censored, but it could to some
extent be done. The rashest die
tator will hesitate if even a part of
his people can be told what looms
ahead. The people of every country
are in mood to sacrifice much for
peace. Some have already sacrificed
much. Whatever consideration is
given in Europe to President Roose-
Velt's peace proposal will be given
because some of the plain people
have heard it.
The peoples of The world-all of

in the world other leaders beside
our own president who will make
even a gesture to try to give it 10
them?

Edlund, in their

salesman for. a wholesale grocery
company. In this second job he sold
a we'll established product; for years
i had been little advertised. Then
prices were changed, the product
was advertised, and the article eX-
perienced a boom. That was the
sum total of the young mans bust
ness experience.
RE felt he knew more about SELL
ing merchandise than he did any
thing else. So ne wanted either to
sell or TO land a jcb with an adver-
Using agency. or a magazine, IN
which he could handle merchan-
dising. He sat down and made out
a list of concerns which might have
the kind of position he felt he could
fill
This is his letter exactly as he
wrote i:
Dear Mr. Blank:
Have you an opening in your
organization for young man OF
my qualifications?
7 an 26 years old, single, and 4
graduate of the University OF Vir-
einia. I majored in business sub
jects.
While I was in college I worked
one vacation on a house-to-houSe
canvaSsing team.
From November to May. 1884
was a clerk in a chain of retail
confectionery stores.
Since then I have been doing
detail work in grocery stores for
the manufacturer OF a food prod
uct
I should appreciate an interview
at your convenience.
Very truly yours,

He sent this letter to each Of his
prospects.
What happened? He had three
perfunctory answers, and one invi-
taLion 20 call. When it was all
over, he did not have a job, nor
was he even in sight of a job.
Why?
In the first place he talked about

When a man contemplates hiring
you. he is interested in just one
thing in this world And that is:
What you can do for him. How
you can help him solve his prob
lens. save his time, increase his
income Well, this young man did
not give his prospective employer
even the slightest inkling of how
his employe rcould make money
from his efforts, or benefit by the
association.
Finally. this young an sat down
and studied what he had to sell
himself - and decided something
was all wrong. He then wrote a
different letter. A very different
letter indeed II was so good that
he had six requests TO call on pres
pectiVe employers and was offered
two JOBS.
Tomorrow I'm going 10 run this
revised and rewritten letter so that
you can see how he turned a poor
letter with no chance of succeeding
into good one that got him the
offer Of TWO jobs.
