LIONS
There was one year In my life
when It seemed as if everything
went exactly wrong.
The resulting accumulation of
worries and problems loomed up
like a range of mountains. It hardly
seemed worth while to try to get
on top of one of them because there
were so many others beyond.
Wise old Talleyrand, when he
could not see his way clearly
through a difficult situation, used to
take to his bed and give out word
that he was ill. It was his exper
ience that many difficulties solved
themselves if one only let them
alone for awhile.
Adopting his example, I went
away for a couple of weeks and
played golf. When I got back the
troubles and problems had not dis
appeared, but I was a different man.
I went down to the office, made
a list of all of them, and decided to
tackle the toughest one first. I
cleaned it up in one day and started
after the others.
An amazing thing developed.
Some of the worst situations prov
ed to be the eastiest, and not one
of the whole lot turned out to be
worth half the worry I had given it
The lesson was valuable. I ought
to have learned it much earlier in
life, for I had been given plenty of
opportunity to observe the ways of
successful men in such matters.
One of my first bosses made it a
rule every morning to ask for the
bad news first He said: "I want
to get the tough things off the cal
endar while I am fresh. I. never
deal with the same thing twice.
When I pick up a paper from my
desk I don't lay it down until it's
settled. Procrastination is poison."
An acquaintance of mine is a
prominent operator in Wall Street.
I asked once if it were true that at
different times he has taken tremen
dous losses.
"Losses," he exclaimed, "I've tak
en millions in losses. Any man who
tries to get through life without
taking losses will never make any
money. The trick is to take 'em
quick and forget 'em. Amateurs
worry about them in advance and
brood about them afterward. The
worry and the brooding break their
nerve."
The Book of Poverb8 which said
pretty nearly everything that can be
said and much better has this
verse:
"The slothful man saith, There is
a lion without, I shall be slain in
the streets."
Worrying about the lion, the
slothful man is eaten by fear, which
is a more terrible death.
The wise man steps out boldly.
And more often than not the lion
proves to be just a motion picture
lion, with claws cut short and his
poor old teeth all gone.

HEIGHT
In flying to a height of 43,166 feet,
more than eight miles up In the air,
Lieut Apollo Soucek of the U. S.
Navy has set a record which will
take some beating.
Only by the use of compressed
oxygen in a tank inhaled through a
tube, and an oxygen super-charger
to insure combustion in the engine,
was Lieut. Soucek able to do the
stunt at all. Capt. Hawthorne Gray
of the U. S. Army, who rose to 42,
470 feet in a balloon three years
ago, died from lack of oxygen in
the rarifled atmosphere of that
great height
All of the talk about voyaging to
the moon, whether by airplane,
rocket or other device, is so much
moonshine, in view of the impossi
bility of carrying enough oxygen
along, to say nothing of the Intense
cold of interstellar space, some
where around 460 degrees below
zero!
LAND
A young woman of my acquaint
ance was surprised recently on get
ting home from her daily work as a
stenographer to find a young man
waiting to ask her who her grand
father was. When she told him, he
Informed her that the title company
which he represented was prepared
to pay her and each of her five liV'
ing sisters, aunts and uncles $200
each to sign a quit claim deed to a
strip of land one inch wide and
eighteen feet long.
That price was a "nuisance value,1
but there are several pieces of Man
hattan real estate which have sold
for as much or more per square
foot, for office buildings. It no long
er pays to build under 30 stories
high in old New York. And the
reason for the high land value Is
the growth of population. Every
new comer to the city adds an ap
preciable amount to the value of
every foot of land.
COMMERCE
I went Into a grocery store In a
little Massachusetts town the other
day to buy some matches. The sales
man handed me a package which
was marked "Made in Russia." In
the same shop window I saw some
canned corned beef, cooked and
packed In Uruguay. In a store in
New York recently my daughter

ed Included tea from India and bis

For every dollar's worth of goods
the United States sells abroad we
must eventually buy a dollar's worth
from the country which we buy
from. That is the long and short of
all the talk about tariffs and Im
ports and the export trade.
SHIPS
The Germans now hold the record
for speed of trans-Atlantic ships,
but both the United States and Eng
land are preparing to take it away
from them. The Cunard Line,
which is the oldest of all ocean
steamship lines, announces that it
will build a craft 1,000 feet long,
carrying 4,000 passengers, which
will make a speed of 30 knots an
hour and will cost between 20 and
25 million dollars. A knot, by the
way, is a nautical mile, which is
800 feet longer than the land mile;
so a speed of 30 knots means 34
miles an hour.
The U. S. Shipping Board In con
junction with the Post Office De
partment is arranging with Ameri
can steamship companies to build
two ships even bigger and faster
than the new Cunarder. It will take
three or four years to build them.
They will be good advertising for
the United States but probably will
not earn their keep. The deficit will
be made up in what the Govern
ment pays the company operating
them for carrying the mails. The
mail subsidy of the British govern
ment to Samuel Cunard is what put
the British flag ahead of ours on the
Atlantic, 75 years ago.
HOMES
Savings bank heads say that right
now is a more favorable time to
build a home than we have had
since the war. Building materials
are down, labor is plentiful, mort
gage money is cheap. Those who
are secure n their employment can
probably build homes now on more
favorable terms than they will be
able to a year from now. 1
The same authorities say that the
measure of how mwh a man can
afford to invest in a home is his
average Income. He is justified in
tying up the equivalent of two years
salary if that is under $10,000 a year,
or of three year's income, if he
earns more than $15,000 a year.
Thus, a man who earns $50 a week
can afford a $5,000 home. And from
ten to twelve years Is a proper
length of time over which to spread
the mortgage payments.
New Rule to Govern
Smoking in Forests
Smoking on national forests of
the Pacific northwest will be sub
ject to a new regulation this year,
it is announced by regional forest
er C. J. Buck, Portland, Ore.
Beginning July 1, all national for
est lands of Oregon and Washing
ton are closed to smoking "while
traveling in timber, brush or grass
areas, except on paved and surfac
ed highways." This means, accord
ing to Mr. Buck, that if a forest
visitor wishes to smoke it will be
necessary to stop while smoking
and to put out all lighted material
before continuing. According to the
records of the forest service, many
fires are started every year by
campers, hunters and fishermen
traveling along forest roads and
carelessly tossing aside lighted cig
arettes, cigars or matches.
"It is not our desire," said Mr.
Buck, "to interfere unduly with the
enjoyment of our forest visitors. At
the same time we must recognize
that our first duty Is the protection
of the forested areas entrusted to
our care. Therefore, instead of pro
hibiting smoking altogether, we are
making the very reasonable require
ment that the smoker stop (while
smoking). If the public enters hear
tily into the spirit of the new regu
lation, we hope that more drastic
restrictions will not be necessary."
TTffllE VALUE (OF
flHUNID) ID)EII(BM
Ncmv Ford engine gives outstanding
acceleration, speed and power without
sacrificing reliahilitg or economg
THE good performance of the Ford car,
so apparent on every highway, is due
largely to the sound mechanical design
of the engine.
It has outstanding acceleration, speed
and power, yet that is only part of its
value to you. Greater still is the fact
that it brings you all these features
without sacrificing cither reliability or
economy.
That is the reason the Ford car has
given such satisfactory service to mil
lions of motorists all over the world
and has been chosen by so many large
companies that keep accurate cost fig
ures. In every detail of construction it
has been carefully planned and made
for the work it has to do.
The design of the compression cham
ber is an important factor in the effi
ciency of the Ford engine. It is built to
allow free passage of gases through the
valves and to thoroughly mix the fuel
by producing turbulence within the
cylinders during compression. The spark
thus flashes quickly through the whole
fuel charge, resulting in quieter and
more effective engine performance.
Other factors are the direct gravity
gasoline feed, the specially designed
carburetor, the new hot-spot manifold,
aluminum pistons, chrome silicon alloy
valves of larger diameter, statically and
dynamically balanced crankshaft and
flywheel, the simplicity of the electrical,
cooling, lubrication, and fuel systems
and accuracy in manufacturing.
