A Letter to a Young Man
You ask me how you can get a
better job.
My answer is that you can't
All over the country are millions
of young men who, in a vague sort
of way, want a better Job: and here
and there among them are the
worth-while few who want the bet
ter job.
And the millions wonder why the
few move on, while they stand sta
tionary year after year.
You must, first of all, pick out the
better job some particular job that
is better than yours. Then train
your guns on that and capture it.
You tell me that you are a book
keeper and that you ear $25 a week.
I know certified public account
ants who earn $10,000 a year and
more.
If I were a bookkeeper earning
$25 a week, I should go out for a
public accountant's job. I might die
on the road, but whoever found my
body would notice that my face was
toward the summit.
Second: You can never make any
body pay you more money until you
have more to sell.
I can advertise in a newspaper
tomorrow morning and have a hun
dred bright young men here at eight
o'clock. Each one will have just as
much to offer me as you have; the
same two years of high school; the
same experience in keeping books,
the same good record. Every one of
them will be willing to work for
$25, and some of them for $18.
The only way you can lift your
self out of that $25 class is by giv
ing yourself an equipment that the
rest of the fellows in that class do
not have. In other words, by study
by education by specialized
training.
Third: When you have picked out
the one particular better job that
you want, when you have fitted
yourself for it then be careful of
your letter of application.
Your letter is your representa
tive. For heaven's sake, if you have
in you any spark of originality that
other men have not, make your let
ter a tiny bit different from the
other letters that the other men
will write.
Fourth: I receive many letters of
application. In one form or an
other, they usually say something
like this: "I want a better job: I
am thinking of getting married";
or, "I have a mother to support";
or, "I have been three years in this
place wtihout a raise and see no fu
ture." All of which interests me not at
all.
The only letter that I read with
interest is the letter of the young
man who has studied my business
and who points out to me how I
can make more money for my em
ployer by employing him.
Ideas are the keys that unlock
big men's doors.
When you have fitted yourself for
the better job, let your letter of
application contain an idea.

MURDER
One person out of every ten thou
sand is murdered every year in the
United States. That does not mean
that your chance of not being mur
dered is only ten thousand to one.
For the ordinary peaceable citizen
the chance is nearer a million to one
that he will die at the hands of a
murderer. Most of the murderers'
victims are themselves potential
murderers. In probably half of the
killings it is a question of which
criminal got the drop on the other.
I lived several years in Chicago,
many years in New York. My work
as a newspaper man took me Into
the most dangerous parts of both
cities at all hours of the night. I
never felt the need of carrying a
weapon and I never knew of any
body not a crook, who was sober,
unarmed, and not displaying signs
of wealth to tempt a footpad or a
burglar, being murdered except by
some crazy man, which might have
happened anywhere.
PROPHETS
The voice of the prophet is still
heard in the land, but it is the voice
of the scientific research worker dis
rtupptntr npw nrocesses which will
revolutionize some Industry, and of
the trade commissioner reporting
these new developments to manu
facturers. A short time ago one of the Gov
ernment's trade commissioners re
ported from Berlin that German
chemists had found a new and
cheap way to make methanol, usu
ally called "wood alcohol." The De
partment of Commerce broadcast
that news to every producer of me
thanol in America. Only one paid
any attention; he sent a man to
Germany to find out more about It.
The others sat tight until, a few
months later a shipload of the new
German methanol arrived In New
York, to be sold at less than the
American cost of production. Then
the manufacturers demanded to
know why they had not been told.
They simply had not listened.
All of the old plants ior mamng
methanol had to be scrapped and
new ones constructed to make it by
the new process, and the man who
had listened to the prophets was the
first American in the field with
cheap methanol.
MOON
The hottest object anywhere near
the Earth is the Moon. Also it is
the coldest. Observers using the
100-inch telescope on Mount Wilson
have been mesauring the moon's
temperature for a year. They re
port that the parts of the moon on
which the sun shines are hotter
than boiling water, and the side
away from the sun Is at least 254
degrees below zero.
The reason for this is that the
moon Is a dry, dead mass of cooled
off lava, or melted rock. It has no
water, no vegetation, no life, noth
ing to make clouds to temper the
rays of the sun. If It were not for
water vapor In the earth's atmos
tho,o wn nnuld not live on It. The
blanket of vapor keeps the heat
from the sun from burning us up
in the daytime, prevents that heat
from escaping at nigni.
One way astronomers can tell
urkothnr nthor nlnnctfl than ours are
probably inhabited or not Is by
studying their atmospnere tnrougn
their great telescopes. The only one
nn which It seems possible for life
as we know it to exist is Mars.
When the new 200-inch telescope is
finished we shall probably get some
evidence as to the population of
Mars.
SPERRY
Elmer Sperry, inventor, has just
retried from business at 72. He prob
ably will keep on inventing. He
built the first electric lighting sta
tion in the world, using arc lights,
before Edison invented the incan
descent bulb. He invented the mod
ern electric coal-mining machinery.
He made the first electric automo
bile. He invented a process for ex
tracting chlorine and alkali from
common salt which forms the basis
of one of the great electric power
industries at Niagara Falls. He dis
covered a way of reclaiming tin
from old tin cans, founding a busi
ness which buys tin scraps from the
can factories, removes the tin and
sells it to silk manufacturers to
weight their goods and melts up the
iron plates into window-sash
weights. He invented and built up
the most powerful searchlight in the
world, giving off more candlepower
per square inch of surface than the
sun itself, and now used by every
army and navy in the world.
Speiry is best known as the In
ventor of "Metal Mike," the auto
matic steersman for ships, utilizing
the mysterious principle of the gy
roscope. He invented the gyroscop
ic compass, the gyroscopic stabili
zer for ships and airplanes. One of
his recent inventions tells railroad
men whether there are any hidden
flaws in their rails. His latest Is a
light weight Diesel type engine for
airplanes. Only Edison has produc
ed more useful inventions than El
mer Sperry.

TALK TO THE CONDUCTORS.
Mr. J. B. Mills, writing in the
Christian Herald, says:
One day while on his way to a
Baptist Association in the southwes
tern part of the state several men
began talking about the failure of
prohibition. The conductor said to
the one who was talking the loud
est: "So you are opposed to prohibi
tion?" "Yes," was the reply.
Then the conductor Baid:
"If you were a railroad conductor
you wouldn't be. For years I have
been conductor on this local out of
Birmingham and on Saturday af
ternoons in the old days when li
quor was sold there we seldom had
a trip without half a dozen or more
fights. There was frequent shooting
of revolvers and it was not safe for
ladies to travel. The evenings after
pay days were the worst. We had
a standing order for the police to
be at the first few stations out, to
arrest drunks. We had numbers of
drunken people, both men and wo
men, on almost every trip. Since
prohibition, I don't know when I
have had a drunken person on my
train. And if you were a conductor
in a mining section you would most
certainly favor prohibition. I don't
know of a conductor on the road
who Is not for it"
SPORTSMANSHIP.
"The friends of prohibition sub
mitted to the license system when
it was law until they persuaded the
country to abandon it No convic
tion is wrong in principle runs deep
tion is wrong nl principle runs deep
er than did ours that license to
make and sell intoxicating drink
violates the laws of God and offends
the conscience of man. We submit
ted to the law which we believed
to be unwise and wrong. Under
similar circumstnaces the foes of
prohibition violate and seek to null
ify the law of the land." Confer
ence of Organizations Supporting
the Eighteenth Amendment.
MARKETING MAN ARRIVES.
John H. Tull, newly appointed
extension specialist in marketing at
Oregon State college, has arrived
from his former position in Mem
phis, Tennessee, and has already
started actively in the work of this
state. He will probably make the
tour of northwestern Oregon with
the dairy demonstration train,
thereby becoming more familiar
with the state and its resources. He
was formerly manager of a success
ful cooperative milk producers' co
operative in Memphis.

FRITTERS TEMPT SPRING
APPETITE
Fritters are one of those appetiz
ing small things of the table that
add an air to an otherwise rather
ordinary meal. Here are some good
recipes for fritters for any one of
the three meals.
Peach Fritters
Dip halved canned peaches in
sweetened fritter batter and then
fry them in deep fat Drain them
thoroughly on brown paper, roll
them in powdered sugar and serve
them hot.
Cheese Fritters
Add grated cheese to fritter bat
ter, drop by spoonfuls into the hot
fat, drain on soft paper and serve
with a little grated cheese sprinkled
over each.
Apple Fritters
Pare and core several apples. Cut
crosswise in thin slices so each will
be doughnut shaped. Dip in lemon
juice and then sprinkle with brown
sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Fin
ally dip in the usual fritter batter
and fry quickly in hot fat Sprinkle
with powdered sugar Just as served.
Banana Fritters
Bananas should be cut in round
slices about an inch thick; or, they
may be cut in halves and split Dip
in fritter batter and fry.
Orange Fritters
Peel two oranges and separate in
to sections. Make an opening in
each section just large enough to
admit of passage for seeds, which
should be removed. Dip sections
into batter and fry in deep fat
Drain and sprinkle with powdered
sugar. Serve hot with orange
sauce.
Pimiento Fritters
Drain canned pimientos and wipe
as dry as possible. Insert In each a
small slice of American cheese.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and
dredge with flour. Saute in butter,
first one side and then on the other
until thoroughly heated and cheese
begins to melt Serve on squares of
buttered toast, garnished with pars
ley. Or dip in batter, and fry in
deep fat

Smoke stains can be removed
from isinglass stove windows by
washing them with hot vinegar.
A slice of orange makes an excel
lent cleaner for patent leather. A
soft cloth is used to polish It when
dry.
Much more satisfactory results
are obtained by using borax water
rather than starch for stiffening
voiles, dimity and other sheer, fine
material.
Barring accidents, tablecloths us
ually show the first signs of wear
along the creases in which they
are habitually folded. When this oc
curs, an inch may be cut from one
end and one side of the cloth and
the edges reflnlshed. This will bring
all of the creases In new places.
A convenient flower holder may
be made from a six-inch square of
galvanized netting, of quarter Inch
mesh. The corners are turned down
for feet, and the flower stems thrust
through the openings. It may be
painted green or the color of the
flower bowl. For long stemmed
flowers, a slightly smaller square
may be placed on top of the first
and the stems of the flowers passed
through both.
Buttonholes which are to be sub
jected to considerable strain may
be strengthened by outlining with
a row of machine stitching before
they are cut and worked. Their
intended position may be marked
with a pencil to serve as a guide In
stitching.
Chevrolet dealers offer you an exceptional
used car purchase service because they work
under a uniform factory plan that makes used
cars as important a part of their business as
new cars.
The famous "OK that Counts" tag assures
every buyer that each used car bearing it
has been thoroughly reconditioned by expert
mechanics to give thousands of miles of de
. pendable, economical service.
