T he R adio Industry
Not merely is the modern radio one of the
great sciontifio marvels of all time, hut it is amazing
the way it hag created a new business Held. A
very few years ago it was only a dream, hut now
it employs 300,000 peqple, with over 3500 manu
facturers, distributors and jobbers.
The outlook for the business is Wonderfully
promising. While there are 6,000,000 radio sets in
the homes of the Country, it is estimated that 21,-
000,000 homes pre not thus equipped. And the field
for use of these instruments all over the world is
an unlimited one.
Of the 950 broadcasting stations in the world,
721 of them are operated in the United States', so
one can see how many hundred millions of people
are yet untouched by this new marvel, but will
lie eager purchasers of this equipment as soon as
they are introduced to these facilities, and are able
to buy such supplies.
This business has made a vast field for the en
terprise of young men. Many hoys who began a
few years ago to rig up their little home made
sets, have now blossomed out as regular dealers,
and stand a chance to become very prosperous. The
inventive boy who started out in this field a few
years ago has found his ingenuity very valuable.
The development of this business means a great
advance in public enlightenment
It brings the
latest entertainment and instruction into the remote
country home, and must do something to make
people contented in lonely localities. And the suc
cess which many radio amateurs have had is an il
lustration th§t it pays to encourage ingenious boys
to work with tools and new scientific ideas. Such
experimenting will in many cases open up a profit

Personal Development
The above subject is one frequently handled by
certain types of schools and study courses. Such
advantages are generally available in Oregon through
correspondence schools, university extension courses,
etc. They are worth looking into.
Our personal development is far below our
organizad development. Business corporations study
the promotion of efficiency down to the last de
tail. But there is not the same analysis on the part
of the individual, of his relatiye efficiency or in
efficiency.
If a business corporation left the promotion of
its efficiency to bntside sources, on such help as
came without its own effort from schools and civic
organizations and books and newspapers, it would
not probably be successful in modem competition.
So if the individual leaves the development of his
own personality as a producer, to what someone else
will give him without his personal effort, he will
not get far. * He needs to study the results of his
own effort, and ask himself how far he is making
good.
The personality of many a man or woman is
like a half worked farm. It has been lightly touch
ed by the outside influence's that have cultivated it,
but its resources are not well utilized. The owner
of such a farm will, if wise, consult an agricultural
expert, to find out what he coúld do to bring out
its unutilized resources. Bo the possessor, of a half
utilized i>ersouality needs sonic good advice as to
how he can bring out its undeveloped potontialiües.
In practical language, the individual needs to
know whether he can do his job better than he is
doing it, and if so how, or whether he is capable of
a better job. He must study out this problem for
himself, hut most people cau easily find ways to
acquire this information if they are determined to
get it.

This morning It was clear for a

lands drifted up w ith the wind
and the rest of the day was
gloomy and gray. When you are
away for a day or two the work
seems to pile up and it takes a
week before you are able to see
out. I hare been working all day
on my reports and find that I ’

up. The tank houses are well
above the snow, hut the roofs of
