DR. HORTON TALKS ON BUSINESS FAILURES Commerce Head Explains the Cans of Employes andi Em ployers Disaster. "Business Failures" was the subject of Dr. D. W. Morton’s talk in the Com merce Building yesterday afternoon in place of Prof. D. C. Sowers who was scheduled to speak in Portland for the Portland Credit Men’s association about the “History, Theory, Principle, and Use of Credit.” Cause* ef Failures Expounded Doctor Morton's talk was divided into two main divisions, the causes of the failure of business men, and the causes of the failure of employees. Under the first division there were two subdivisions first failures due to the men themselves, and, second, the failure due to outside conditions beyond the man’s; control. Fight causes of failures were due to the men. There were: incompetence (due to men going into a business without suffi cient knowledge of the business, inexper ience, lack of capital (mahy failures are caused by men not realising the omount of capital necessajry to carry on business), unwise credits (granting credit too free ly), speculation outside of regular busi ness, neglect of business (due to doubt ful habits), personal extravagance, and fraudulent disposition of property. Fail tires due to outside conditions were caus ed by three things: specific conditions (disasters outside of man’s control), fail ure of people on whom the business man is dependent (due to poor credit judg ment), and competition (the business man should be able to meet this competi tion and this should not ause his fail ure). Letters Show Feutla From letters received by Doctor Mor ton from the J. J. Brill Car Works of Philadelphia, from the Baldwin Locomo tive Works, from the Chalmers Motor Car company, and other large employ ers of men, the reasons for the failure of employees were found to be: expect ing too much for nothing, expecting more of others than the give, dishonesty, failure to do right, men not adapted to their work, lack of concentration, en thusiasm, and hard work, liquor, lack of ambition, lack of education, and an cestry. Statistics from Bradstreet showed the iouowmg racts: Total failures, 1881-1915, 338,756; No. of business firms, 1881-1915, 40,381,053; Per cent of failures, 1881-1915, .881. During 1914, the first year of the Eu ropean war 9:5 out of every 100 firms in the United States failed. This was an unusual year, however, due to the war. Tomorrow night Doctor Morton will speak to the employes of the Ford plant in Portland on “The Reasons Why Employees Fail.” f FACULTY DOINGS 1 ★ -mm---- * FACULTY BULLETIN President Campbell reports that Pres ident Hibhen’s address fit the Civic league luncheon, January 22, on the “General Spirit of Democracy and prep aration for Service” was very well re ceived.

Public invjted. GOG0RZA iMILIO DE In every city in the United States where music has taken its proper place, a De Gogona recital has become a dis tinct institution. It is an event eagerly looked forward to by the general public and the deepest students of music alike, | Every true artist whether he or ehe is a singer, instrumentalist or painter, has a message which, given under proper con ditions, is bound to be uplifting and en nobling. When the number of individuals proclaiming themselves artists, is con sidered, it is no source of wonder that the general public can call to mind the names of very few who have attained that high est place in the artistic world to whieh real genius entitles them. Artist Possesses Versatility. It is in the recital field that the truly great artist shows his versatility, there by of brou com Gogi place i A chord “Ilis such as o It is brat richr trol ter, light is e ses a i|ialcing an appeal to a great number eraons to each of whom there is kht a personal note.

CUES eohoTune zahl Time to pack that trunk! In my search for local color, I eked from good authority that the Fiji hoys always make up when going to an elite evening affair. S’tru?. I might write a little poem about ex am-cram-sham-jam. etc., etc., but I’m afraid I should end with an imprecation. In my peregrinations I came across Neil Morfitt chanting “Just Before the Battle, Mother,” with that far-away look in his eyes. X-RAYS SHORTER THAN X-AMS If X-rays and “X-ams” are in any way rein ted to each other, it eertainly is not in length, according to Owen Whallon and Milton Miller, who under the direc tion of Drs. Boyton and Caswell, of the physics department,, have just succeeded in measuring the length of these in finitely short waves. According to the boys, an X-ray is <bne ten-thousandth of that of an ordinary light wave, or in round numbers six times ten to the mi nus eighth power centimeteis, which is the scientific way of saying two-billionths of an inch, and this result agrees to a “t” with the latest measurements. This work is considered no mean task, as it is hardly two years since the work was first undertaken atad accomplished by Dr. Bragg, an eminent English physicist. Prof. F. S.
