There are many people in business who always attribute their troubles to some existing condition. Before the recent election, many people attributed business ill success to the politi cal uncertainties. Now that the election has passed, many of these ioLks will lay their failures to some other cause, or to most anything except their own lack of push. There are something over 1,100,000 retail business firms in this country. A field so enormous is one in which there is a good chance for success, pro vided one shows something more than ordinary enterprise. There are always a good many of these concerns that are not reaching out with any special determination for new trade. The existence of many such concerns makes an opportunity for all who will make a determined effort to obtain business, by adver tising and other sales campaigns. Advertising cannot ' rescue a concern that is doing poor work. If its service is below the average or its prices above the average for -the quality of goods, the firm should not be encouraged to advertise, because it is fair ly sure to make a failure anyway. But if a concern is giving at least average service, then the principal obstacle in -its way is usually its own lack of determined sales campaign, by which it shall make known the value of its service to the public. No mat ter how good work it is doing, its service does not count, unless the public realizes how good work it is doing. As a usual thing the concerns that advertise are giving better than average ser vice, because their push draws a large volume of trade, which enables a firm to do business at a minimum of cost, and give something more than the ordinary value for a dollar. , 0 Discussion breaks out occasionally as to how much of an income a young couple should have before they marry. The fig ure $2000 is one which is fixed by a good many people. Yet there are millions of familes in the country whose earnings fall much below that figure. Some of them live in sections where expenses are low, and they are better off than folks living in high cost cities. Still there are many people living in expensive cities whose income is much below that figure. It is commonly said that any industrious young people can get along if they will prac tice economy. There is another essential that is, frequently for gotten, and that is careful planning. The old timers had pitifully sma.l incomes, judged by modern standards. But they "got by" because they planned their expenditure very carefully in ad Vance, and made many savings due to this forethought. The struggling young family needs to consider its outgo quite as care fully as its income. A Pennsylvania minister hid his text the other night in a cross word puzzle placed upon the blackboard, and the audience were told that they must solve the puzzle before the pastor could preach his sermon. It is much that way in human affairs. Our experience is one long succession of puzzles. Many people say they can make neither head nor tail of the contradictory events which occur to them, and they are bewildered by difficult experiences to the meaning of which they can find no clue. The world and their part of it are incomprehensible to millions of folks. Yet our part in the world was not meant to be an in soluble puzzle. We need to open our hearts to helpful influ ences, to read good books and newspapers, seek inspiration from religion and earnest leaders, and busy ourselves in useful service. People who do those things usually find the puzzles of experi ence soluble. A Hall of Fame is to be provided at Washington for men who have created famous inventions, in the National Museum of Engineering and Industry. It will be a perpetual reminder of what we all owe to the brilliant and persistent men who have brought modern homes and labor to their present high level of efficiency and comfort. These men have not as a rule had credit for nil they have done. We glorify statesmen and authors and artists, and forget these patient investigators in the techni cal arts. Many of these mechanical geniuses never made money out of their inventions, and they devoted their whole souls to mis achievement, without much thought whether it would b. financially profitable or not. A noted educator declared the other day. that many young girls become so envious of the silk stockings and other pretty things worn by young women of a little greoter age. that they quit school prematurely early, in order to earn spending money with winch to buy these thing, right off. They can not wait for h. thing, they covet. Many boy, have quit school to earn spending money to take these same girl, around to expensive how. and treats. Folly is not confined to either sex. The young folk, who give up the solid benefits of education for tem porary satisfactions, many of which are gone in a niht, are mak ing a very poor trade and show PRUNE pvaxxss BY BERTS.

Oneyear has elapsed since the Chrysler Six was nrst introduced to the American public In the span of that year, the Chrysler has grown from a mere name to a success the like of which has never been known before. One year ago, Walter P. Chrysler promised a car that would yield new and revolution ary results. Since then, the Chrysler has more than redeemed its pledge. In compactness and beauty of design, in quickness of response and flexibility of performance, in economy and facility of operation, in power and in stamina, it has satisfied the long cherished wants of a critical motoring public $50,000,000 and upwards has been paid by Chrysler-wild American motor car buyers for the privilege of enjoying these revolu tionary results. 32,000 cars have been built and shipped in an effort to fill the demand. It is therefore fitting that Monday, January 5th, the Chrysler's first birthday, should be a day of celebration for the Chrysler organization because of the unparalleled success attained in one year's time for owners and admirers because of the Chrysler's revolutionary achievements.
