And many people who have aever given the word a second thought gill be surprised to learn that this Is nerely an American colloquialism without foundation In fact or ety- nology. “P -esser" comes from the French ‘dessolr" a n d Its original and legitl- n ate significance Is an adjunct of the dtchen. For the original dresser was t sideboard on which meat was dressed yefore being served In the dlnl..g rhamber. And the word Is so osed In SDgland today.

GASSED ItT' A v e rj wise question under cer­ tain conditions, but a very foolish one under other conditions». It all de­ pends upon the purpose In asking the question. If the dominating thought regarding work is “ W hat am I going to get out of ItT ' the result Is likely to be that we will get very little out of It. As a rule a person gets out of bis work Just what he puts loto It. The law of progress In the economic world ts not chance but vision. The most valuable Investment we can make Is not the amount of money put into an enterprise, but the am ount of wisdom. ability, commonsense plus vision. The dividends th at such an investm ent will declare will be In term s of an enlarged earning ca­ pacity. The spirit which determ ines the size of a week's pay roll Is not. ''How much will I get.” but, “How much was I willing to give." A hoy will be an erran d boy all his life If he has only an errand boy's vision. Running of errands may be necesrary but It should be thought of only as the beginning of a Job and not th e end of I t Victories In life are won not so much by the toll of the hands as by thoughts of the mind. Visions are the creators of success. "As a man thlnketh in bis heart so Is be." It Is Impossible for a person to achieve more than be thinks he can accomplish. A person Is not likely to arriv e a t a definite success unless he expects to. A narrow visioned life creates no Impulses th at urge on ward, no am bitions th at reach o u t­ ward. and no burning purposes th at fires the Imagination. All men who have achieved th eir goals have flrst had a clear and definite vision of the end they sou g h t Vision determ ines success or failure.

But people will talk. And th eir talk, even If It Is gos­ sip, or has to do only with scandal. Is an effective force In the w orld The discussion of m odem plays— which may be pernicious and may not be—will bring people to consider them carefully, snd th a t will settle the problem by and by In the way It ought to be s e ttle d The fact th a t every so-called "crime wave" Is widely discussed puts an end to It a fte r a while. Through the new spapers th e offl d a is and law m akers heed the voice of the people. In the people they recognize their m asters, and by and by they are stirred to activity, and the bandit finds his trad e no longer safe. s e e One of the best things about mod­ ern life Is constant discussion of nil Im portant happenings—and for that the world has to thank the new spa­ pers which keep them Informed about these happenings. Any wrong th a t can be kept secret Is dangerous. Any evil, discussion about which Is tabooed, will sp re a d But let everybody have his way, let fam ilies talk around the fireside and men across th eir desks, and women at afternoon tens, and by and by the evil will be rem oved Often public discussion of every-day events sounds like Idle ch atter, but out of th at Idle ch a tter comes thought, and thought brings results a fte r a while. s e e Public talk and exchange of Ideas have righted many a great w rong; brought about many a revolution against tyrannical rule, and Improved the conditions of life since the begin Ding of the w o rld Sometimes the talk Is led by a speech or a book by a great reform er, but more often th e reform er gets his Idea from the talk he hears, and m ere ly gives It point and effectiveness by his superior use of words. It was s wise statesm an who dis­ covered th a t the suppression of the right of free speech w as dangerous. The B ritish governm ent has acted with great Intelligence In perm itting people to talk as freely as they like In public places, thereby letting off steam which If confined might have resulted In an explosion. . It Is common enough to sneer at talk and talkers, and to believe that nothing was ever settled right by nd- less palaver. Yet talk has been the stabilizing an I sane force In human history always, and the more liberally It la employed the sooner will we discover the way In which we m ust go to be saved.
