Don't you lie to me-" she snarls at him
She's at his side now, roping her dressing
gown. Her hairs in curriers'. Her lips, too
She leers through eyes nearly closed Now
they're in the center of the ring
Working late at the office, dear" meekly
replies this innocent martyr, weak from toll.
But does she listen? No!
why you-dog! You-rat! I'll find out
where you really were tonight If it's the last
thing l do"
Now there's a closed mind concludes DR..
Reilly.
When you ask the boss for a raise ne may
say I've had that in mind for some time

beginning next week" He's on Mental Level
No. SO far you are concerned
But if he says BE thankful you've got
job at all check Mental Level No CLOSED

When a sailor on leave whispers into his
sweetheart's as they sit in a moon
drenched rowboat in Central Park. and she
says, Yes check No. a." says DR. Reilly IF
she says Maybe check No. 3, if she says I
hardly know you check No. .. II she slaps
his face and says Nuts check No. 1 and tell
the sailor to weigh anchor"
DR. Reilly says that the first step in getting
people to listen and open their minds is to
make them think they are right That's
pretty fought you have TO make the wife
think she's right about not trusting you or
agree with the customer who doesn't want to
buy. And no girl who is in love will see any
sense in helping her father to be right about
thinking her sweete is a dope
But everyone in the world wants to be
right nobody wants to be wrong II isn't
necessaryor smart to be a yes man. but
try seeing the other fellows point of view.
These people you're trying to convince aren't
absolute morons they must have some ideas
on the subject for you to think about.
Maybe the husband will have 10 admit his
wife is right to the extent that ne did step
out once when he used the office as an alibi
but when she starts agreeing 20 that he
can go on to tell her about some instances

said Let me see that wire"
Looking at it hastily she
snaps: What day is this?"
What day? Why ~ er- a
Friday-the tenth"
We'll, this wire is dated
Thursday, the ninth. How do
you explain that" she queries.
Henry looks at the wire.
We'll, dear, you see it was a
night letter. II was sent from
Chicago last night but we didn't
receive it until this morning"
who else was working with
you?" she's boring in.
Jack" is Henry's prompt
reply.
"Okay. Jack and Lucy are
coming over for bridge tomor-
row night. I'll see what he has
to say. Don't you want some
thing to eat before you 90 to
bed ?"
That wife is merely OPEN
minded She'll listen. but she
needs a lot of evidence, and she's
not ready to swallow everything
her husband says without proof.
She probably has caught him
cheating now and then.
There is still another way
Henry might be greeted ~ and
a lot of husbands are. Right or
wrong. he's in the doghouse now.
- Where have you been?...

~ in him he will not get far in hfe.And
the same goes for woman
The chances of any person getting what
he wants are slim If no one will listen to him;
If oh yeah" or some more polite equivalent
is the stock reply when suggestion is offered
a favor asked.
You have to open peoples minds to what
you saying before you can get them to
believe in you and then get them working for
you; working, that is, on your side and put
ting toes in doorways to hold them open so
you can get ahead
OF course, If you don't have ability after
you have the opportunties-that is something
else.
But most peoples troubles come less from
lack of ability than from lack of opportunities
to show what they can do
The coveted goal may be TO get more
money, find sweetheart become a great
leader or have career movie star Right
now for lot of boys it is getting ahead in
the Army, the Navy or the Marine Corps. Other
men and women have their eyes on supervisory
jobs in defense factories. No matter what the
goal may h. the more people you know who
believe in you the better your chance of
reaching IT"
IF everyone you knew, everyone you met
believed everything you said, you could have
just about anything you want" says Or. Will
liam j. Reilly, nationally known expert on
straight thinking, in his forthcoming book,
Straight Thinking in Human Relations"
But the trouble in this civilized world he
points out. is that too many people have been
stung and now most people won't believe any
body.
There Is remedy though "home REM
edy' that anyone can apply to himself
First it is important to know just what
friends, relatives and acquaintance think of
you. Or rather what you think they think
of you. Set up your own personal relations
ledger.
Has it ever occurred to you" Dr. Reilly
asks, that everyone you know has a certain
well-defined mental attitude toward you-that
you of four mental levels with
every person you know"
The lowest level of all-the "doghouse"
LEVELS the one where people say. ooh yeah"
no matter what you have to offer Their
minds are absolutely closed They won't even
listen to you.
A step higher is Mental Level No 2 where
the listener wants lot of convincing before
he'll accept anything you tell him. He's from
Missouri" and has to be shown. But at least
his mind is open TO your thoughts and he's
willing TO be convinced
The third mental level is one of confidence.

it before she thoroughly trusted him.
Another wife might have said: Working
at the office until this time of night? Must
have been mighty important job"
1T was, dear" Henry replies, reaching in
his pocket. Here's a wire that came from
the Chicago office insisting that we finish
our reports before tomorrow"
We'll, 1 think they're working you too
hard at that old office darling. They ought
to be paying you more money. Do you want
something to eat before you go to bed?"
All that wife needs is a good reason and
she doesn't pry further. She has confidence in
her husband.
Now suppose that instead of taking his
word for that message from Chicago she had

young who had been trying 70 get
a raise for years finally said TO his boss
When you say don't deserve a raise that is
Of vital interest to me, for know you usually
have very sound reasons for anything you say
So I'd appreciate your letting me know from
time to time how can go about making
myself more valuable TO you so that in your
judgment I'll really deserve a raise"
That opened his employers closed mind
and put him in the I'm from Missouri class
Convincing evidence moved him up still an
other notch and he had confidence enough
in the fellows worth TO give him the raise
But you have gained the confidence
of the people you deal with the next step is to
keep on showing them, in every situa-
ton that arises, that you are worthy of their
belief.
Don't allow little thing like party the
boss throws after hours-where you may take
a drink too many-to be the stumbling block
that sends you to the bottom again Don't
make over-enthusiastic promises that you can't

Instead Of INDUCING in pet hates, which
give you a sour stomach-and eventually
face always try to see the other fellows

There exceptions even to these rules. of
course, and DR.. Reilly points out IF an am
bilious friend neighbor tries TO stab you
in the back socially, if someone at the office
tries to undermine you and your job, if a
cuddling Casanova or a dizzy dame tries 10
break up your home. if a burglar tries to steal
your property, if an international aggressor
tries to take over your country you may
want to give him the works first and try 10
make Christian out of him later"
The human patterns of greed and egotsm
lead to war and the human patterns of serv-
ice and affection lead TO peace" Dr. Reilly
explains There is war today because people
are trying to get what they want by force.
not by persuasion.
The four mental levels can be applied 10
nations-and international affairs as well as
to individuals But before the problem of
world wars can be settled by establishing belief
relationships between nations. everyone needs
to learn how to settle private struggles that
way.
And in the words Of Dr. Reilly. "What
ever progress you make toward your goal
can be almost entirely credited to those who
believe in you beginning with your mother
and ending with your last friend"
It's the people who believe in you, who
help you get what you want.
