HOW TO GET AHEAD

1t is the secret ambition of every
red-blooded American TO get on"
Perhaps we are too much that way.
Perhaps, as some educators think,
America would be better off if we
thought more about service to 9TH
ers and less about this getting on"
business. But theory aside, it is our
nature to set up an objective in
life and then drive ourselves to get
there. Sometimes, however. in our
desire to get ahead we overlook
something that is most important.
This missing ingredient in our for
mula for success was neatly stated
in a radio interview which FFede-
rick E. Williamson, president of the
New York Central Railroad, had
with Dale Carnegie. ITO get ahead
in America today" said Mr., Will
hanson, "a man has to like his
work; he can't be a square peg in

Other Editors Have
To Say
APOLOGIZE TO BILLY
MITCHELL,

The government of the Unit
ed States should officially and
in the most public and sweeping
fashion. apologize to General "Bii-
ly" Mitchell Twenty years ago he
was court martialed because he
dared to say that army and navy
chiefs were guilty of incompetence
criminal negligence and almost
reasonable administration of the
national defense
The charge was based on the re-
fusal of the. brass hats to give the
airplane its proper place in our mil
itary set-ap.
To demonstrate that battleships
could not withstand attack from the
skies. Mitchell made a target of an
old German battleship off the Vir-
ginia Capes and sent it to the bot
tom in the presence of distin-
guished gathering.
But the brass hats" were not
impressed. The airplane. they ad-
mitted had its place" but it was
not an important place.
They jeered when Mitchell said
that planes would soon be built
which would cover $50 miles in an
hour, and they laughed when he
talked about air service between
California and China.
Finally, they became so impatient
with the 'trouble-maker" that they
separated him from his job as as
sistant chief of the air service and
assigned him to an obscure post in
Texas.
Then Billy blew up and, said
a lot of things which he thought
might arouse the country. The
country1Was interested, but so were
the brass hats
They dragged Billy before a
court martial, found him guilty on
all counts, and although he was the
best air man in America, suspend
ed him for five years without pay
or allowances.
President Coolidge eased the
sentence, He restored "Billy's' al
lowances and half his base pay. But
the air man was so enraged he quit
the army Five years ago he died.
