THE FIRST RULE
FOR JOB SEEKERS

There are very few employers who nave
not at one time or another refused en-
ployment TO an applicant simply because
the Job hunter himself didn't seem to
think he could hold the Job. If man
has no confidence in himself, 1t Is
faint hope that anyone else will have
confidence in him.
1t should be the first rule of Job hunt
ing to know the Job you want-and let
the fellow who does the hiring know
you know IT, Modesty is commendable,
but lack Of self confidence is not. There
is world of difference between the two.
We all know or have known people
who, wherever they go, take with them
the feeling that they are entirely COM
petent to handle the matter placed IN
their hands. Most of us have known
individuals who in some indefinable way
make US feel that they are destined to
succeed in what they do. Yet, when we
try to analyze the feeling, we are forced
to admit that the person may have no
more real ability than another man, who
carries with him no such assurance.
Bv the same token there are people
who seem doomed from the beginning to
. failure In their own makeup is some
thing that gives out the impression of
2 incompetence I'm real talent-which is
often very different from ability to sue
ceed-they may be far above the aver
cage, yet the spark which would drive
them to make most use of their talent
is missing.
.. These things, the psychologists tell us,
rare things every individual can control
in himself Two things are necessary to
an exercise of such control: l. knowl-
edge of the deficiency, and; 2. the desire
9 to correct it.
1t goes without saying of course, that
all the self confidence in the world is
useless unless it is accompanied by the
ability to perform the task set before
one. 1t is equally true, however, that
the proper self-confidence is an aid to
learning, not hindrance. Thus the man
who wants a certain job, feels that he
to learn all there is to know about it,
can handle the job he wants, sets out
and then goes after the job is liable not
only to achieve his goal, but to succeed
in it.
The admission of defeat is the surest
way to court defeat. Confidence of VIC
tory, accompanied by the determination
to win it, is the surest prelude to victory.

THE LAW MUST NOT BE
MADE A PLANT TOOL

Governor Culbert l.. Olson, who has
said he wants to pardon Warren K. Bill
lings just as he did Tom Mooney, is
studying the law to find if it cannot be
interpreted to cover such pardon. He is,
with the aid of attorneys friendly to Bill
lings, hunting some legal technicality or
Interpretation by which it will not be
necessary to obtain the recommendation
of the state supreme court before Bill
lings, two-time loser, may be pardoned.
AS for Billings himself, it seems logi-
cal that, if Mooney deserved a pardon,
then SO does Billings. 1t is silly to keep
one man in prison for crime his fellow
conspirator, so charged, is declared never
to have committed, and which he, in ac-
cordance with the same idea, could not
have committed.
1t is different thing, however, when
the governor admits he is attempting to
get around long-standing law just to
achieve his desire. Of all Californians,
the governor should be the first to up
hold the law as long as it is on the statute
books. If it should not be there, change
it. AS long as it is there, observe it.

BE READY FOR
BIG TASKS
(Long Beach PresS-Telegram)

(L0ng Beach Press Ielegram)
California is the state of big projects
as we'll as big trees, magnificent distan-
ces, high mountains. At time when the
government was calling Tor, and helping
10 finance public works as recovery
policy. thirteen cities of southern Cali
fornia undertook the construction Of the
Metropolitan Water District, aqueduct,
at an estimated first cost of around $500
100000. Previously Boulder dam was
initiated under a compact embracing the
Colorado river basin states, Of which
California was leader. Without the help
of the Metropolitan district and the I'M
perial Valley, the big dam could not have
been built These sales outlets guaran-
teed the return demanded for federal
backing.
During the same period, the Bay region
was promoting the two big bridge prof.
ects that now span the Golden Gate and
connect Oakland and San Francisco.
Orange county, with the help of its
neighbors, Riverside and San Bernardino
counties, launched the Prado dam and
other units of improvement for the Santa
Ana river and its tributaries. as a Joint
flood control and irrigation enterprise.
A good start has been made ON this work.
The Central valleys water development
program, another gigantic undertaking,
far-reaching in its prospective benefits,
also is we'll under way. Preliminary
work, as in Santa Ana canyon, includes
the movement of railroads and highways
out of reservoir sites. In the Shasta dam
region, State Hibhway No. 90 will be
moved to levels above what the water
line will be; and similar preparations
are made for changing the route of the
Southern Pacific. Thirty miles of rail
road and Is miles of highway must be
relocated. Bids for part of this work
will be opened at the Sacramento offices
of the federal bureau of reclamation on
March 3.
These various enterprises will have a
vitalizing effect on California progress.
The people of this state must be ready
for other big things growing out of their
own ambitions and good works.

WASHINGTON-A bit of specu-

Now Justice Brandeis is in re-

that Justice Frankfurter is no i'm

on the bench to counterbalance
him?

Wrong-as is very often the case.
One thing to remember is that
until the nomination is actually
sent TO the Senate, no one but the
President really knows who is be-
ing chosen. The attorney general
may know the three or four men
from whom the choice will be
made; the Presidents secretariat
may have a line on the men the
President is considering; but no
pipeline can 90 any farther than
that.
All OF which leaves the way wide
open for the creation of booms

Bruce Cation in Washington
Dissects the News

Representative Martin Kennedy of
New York made a public plea for
the appointment of Senator Robert
Wagner More often it is a round
about affair.
The word begins to circulate that
so-and-so is lin line" A day or SO
after the Brandeis retirement, the
gossiperS were insisting that JUS
tice Harold M. Stephens of the U. S.
Court of Appeals was due to get
the nod. The next day they were
talking up Senator Lewis B. Schwel-
lenbach of Washington. Next day
the word was that Tommy Cor
coran himself was backing w. o.
Douglas of the SEC.
Before anyone actually is nomi-
mated to the Supreme Court - or
to any other place in the federal
judiciary, for that matter-the at
torney general is almost always
consulted.
The consultation may be either
formal or informal. That is, the
President may submit, say, three
names. and ask for a written re-
port on each; or he may simply
sit down with the attorney gen.
eral and discuss his possible choices
more or less casually. There isn't
any set procedure.
Anyhow, the President finally
picks one man and notifies the at
torney general to draft a commits
sion. The commission is sent to
the Senate. and STAYS there until
the man is confirmed. Then it
goes back to the attorney general,
who transmits it to the President,
who signs it and sends it back to
the attorney general-who. there
upon. mails it to the nominee, who
hands it in at the Supreme Court,
takes the oath, and becomes a
Justice.

The first thing he discovered was
that dog food was a highly COM
petitive product. Dozens of brands
gIutted the market, some long es-
tablished. When he called on gro
GERS. they pointed to overloaded
shelves. He soon realized that II
he were to introduce his brand he
would have TO originate something
new.
One day he saw boy with a
mongrel come out Of grocery
store. The boy was stroking that
dog with as much affection as II
ne had taken first honors at the
Westminster Kennel Club Show.
An idea struck Mr.. Mast all of a
sudden. Why not hold a dog show
not for thoroughbreds but for
plain every day "mutts?" Turning
into the Hamilton Market, he talk
ed the idea over with Mr.. Hamil-
ton. proprietor. Mr.. Hamilton liked
il and agreed TO have the show in
his store. Handbills were printed;
prizes were offered for the hand
soonest hound, the ugliest mutt, the
largest. the smallest and the oldest
dogs, as well as to the trick dogs.
Neighbor merchants were solicited
and tossed in prizes of roller skates,
flashlights, baseball bats dolls, etc.
And Of course every dog entered
received a handsome package OF
"Pard." The show was a sensa-
ton, and the police had to be call
ed to handle the crowds.
A special prize was offered for
the dog that could eat the most
"Pard' in the shortest period OF
time. A Great Dane set a record
which had never been equalled. He
gave just two gulps in five seconds.
Then he looked around for more.
The show was front page news.
Nh Mast got the name Of his
product on the front page of every
paper in town. If you don't think
that a difficult feat, just try it,
The idea leaped into popularity.

OBERAMMERGAU, GARRISON
TOWN NOW
(Napa Register)

A picture from Germany shows the
world in miniature today.
1t is made in Oberammergau, the little
German town which all the world knows
as the seat of the Passion Play.
But there has been a change in Ober-
ammergau. 1t has now become garri-
son town for the German army. The
picture in question shows a scene in the
little mountain inn. A group of the play
ers of the famous religious pageant
smoke their pipes contentedly about a
table while a Bavarian-hatted compan-
ion plays the either. Near the table, the
smiling daughters of the players dance
with the soldiers Of the new garrison
Smiling modest, fine-looking young
women, dancing rather gravely with
spruce, erect, and equally fine-looking
young fellows in nicely pressed uniforms.
Weren't there enough towns in Ger
many for garrisons? Did they have to
pick Oberammergau, which had, in one
sense, meaning not only for Germany
but for all the world.
Once it was Oberammergau, scene of
the Passion Play. Now it is just Ober-
ammergau, garrison town.

Willis Thornton's Editorial On.
German Barter Trading invading U. S.

In the past few years this has fall
len greatly because Germany had
MT the money to buy, though lard
is desperately needed in the Reich.
Just what stage the present
negotiations have reached, nobody
knows, but they are tangible
enough to have run up the domes-
tic price of lard in the futures
market from 20 to 25 cents
hundred pounds.
The proposal is not without pre-
cedent. California fruit and Viz
ginia apple growers have already
tried it out, swapping their
products for German fertilizer
Such barter deals are entirely le-
gal. The goods brought to this
country are subject to high tariffs
as Germany has no reciprocal
treaty.
1t will be very interesting to see
how the proposal works out. First,
note that the organizations report
ed to be interested are co-opera-
tives. The fact that co-operativeS
have been vigorously suppressed In
Germany and that therefore
American co-operatives would be
helping a government opposed to
their own principles will probably
not affect the deal. Business is
business. Russia and Mexico are
the best friends Italy has in fur
nishing the oil that is today prac-
tically armament.
Yet every yard of wire or piece
of machinery brought in under
such an arrangement is one less
for American shops to make.
Such a straight barter deal. how
ever, is still somewhat different
than the one Germany is working
in South America.
In this case, no money would
change hands at all. 1t is a
straight exchange of definite
products. In the South American
deals, produce sent to Germany is
paid for in Ask" marks, eXpendi-
Bile only in Germany.
The result of this is huge stocks
of the funny money which must
be spent for German goods, even
if it is later found that mouth Or
ganS. canary birds and cannon are
the only things that can be bought
for them. The proposed American
deal is complete and final in it
self, with no later implications eX-
cept the precedent.
Whether this arrangement will
work out, no one knows as yet.
But it will be interesting TO watch
the extension into the United
States of a trading system to
which this country IS in principle
opposed.
