When's the Time to Quit?
I rode downtown In a taxlcab,
and looked at the picture of the
driver on the license card which is
issued by the police.
Where had I seen a face like
that?
Suddenly I knew. An acquaint
ance of mine looks enough like that
taxi driver to be his twin.
If the whole truth be blurted out,
I doubt if there is a very wide dif
ference in itelligence between that
taxi driver and my acquaintance.
Neither has much education. Neith
er is well read. Neither can be ac
cused of profound thought.
How is It, then, that one is on
the front seat of a cab and the
other rides in the back seat of a
limousine?
Luck? Undoubtedly there is a
lot of luck in every successful car
eer. But I think my acquaintance
has at least one quality which the
taxi driver lacks. He stuck to his
game through some pretty lean,
tough years when there was every
reason to be discouraged and quit.
The dividing line between success
and failure is Just a hairline in
thousands of cases. One single de
cision may make all the difference.
A young man has just been pro
moted into the vice-presidency of a
corporation, and given a stock par
ticipation that will make him many
times a millionaire.
He told me that he started in a
branch office of the company as an
accountant. Before long he had
made himself master of one certain
phase of the company's affairs.
He looked around him and above
him, and was discouraged. Every
where his way seemed to be blocked
by men who had been there longer,
but were young enough so that they
would be active for many years.
One night he definitely decided to
look for something else. The next
day an officer of the company vis
ited his branch, and a violent dis
cussion ensued. The officer upheld
one side of the question, my young
friend the other. And my young
friend knew his facts; he was right.
The argument ended by the offi
cer asking him to come down to
New York "for a few weeks." He
has been there ever since.
If he had resigned the preceding
evening, my young friend would
have missed his one great chance.
Hanging over the door of the lab
oratory of a great automobile com
pany is this sentence: "No one ever
would have crossed the ocean if he
could have got off In the storm."
I am not writing this piece to
try to make any man contented
with a poor Job. There are plenty
of instances where men have made
their everlasting fortunes by mak
ing a fresh start.
But more often, I think, the battle
is won Just by sitting tight.

FLIES
Motoring through Connecticut
the other day I stopped for a bite
in a good-sized town. To my am
azement the principal restaurant
of the place was swarming with
flies,, which were crawling unre
strained over the food. I did not
eat there.
The danger of flies seems not yet
to have penetrated everywhere. It
has been said by someone that it
takes three generations for any new
fact to filter down through all levels
of intelligence to the lowest It is
less than forty years since the dis
covery was made that flies are the
chief carriers of typhoid fever.
In the big cities and in most pro
gressive small towns, public health
authorities now compel the covering
of garbage and other filth in which
flies breed. The automobile has done
a great deal, practically eliminat
ing the horse stable, once the flies'
chief breeding ground. In the gen
eral clean-up of Europe since the
war long steps have been taken, un
til there is at least one town in It
aly, Monteoatini, which boasts that
it has not a single fly!
HELIOPHOBES
Are you a heliophile or a helio
phobe? Everybody is one or the
other. Heliophiles love the sunshine
and thrive under exposure to sun
light Heliophobes are the unfor
tunate blondes who do not tan but
burn and blister and sometimes be
come seriously ill in the effort to
acquire the golden-brown skins of
the more fortunate heliophiles.
A skin specialist in a New York
hospital estimates that more than
200,000 working days are lost in that
city every year from illness due to
abouf foods
from
SSf&t
"I learned almut foods" from Mrs. Kennedy next door. I noticed that every morning she started out
with a shopping basket, but It wasn't until I ate one of her delightful dinners that I learned why.
Now I go with her and we both buy our foods from the "West's Favorite Food Stores" because we
grt the best quality and price when we make our own personal selection.

ers are usually of the blonde North
European and Scandinavian type,
coming from a stock bred for count

indirect The perfect heliophile, on

of Mediterranean blood, Italian,
Greek, Spanish or Semitic.
DREAMS
"One must have some daring if
one is to live one's dreams," said
Captain Wolfang Von Gronau as he
landed his flying boat in New York
harbor after flying over from Ger
many by way of Iceland, Greenland
and Labrador. This pioneer of a
new trans-Atlantic air route dared
to try to realize a dream which he
had had for years.
All have dreams of things we
would like to do; few of us have
the daring to attempt to make the
dreams come true.
"Many loved truth, and lavished
Life's best oil
Amid the dust oflooks to find her,"
So wrote James Russell Lowell in
his great Commemoration Ode. But

the poet saw the truth clearly:
"They love her best who to them
selves are true
And what they dare to dream of,
dare to do."
BANKING
One of the things which is certain
to change greatly in the course of
the next few years is the banking
business in the smaller communi
ties. The small local bank has not fa
cilities, in most Instances, to take
care of the legitimate business
needs of its community. Some sys
tem which will distribute credit
equally oer the whole nation at all
seasons will be worked out
In Congress, where the final ans
wer will be given, the contest is
between "chain" banking and
branch banking, with branch bank
ing in the lead.
One member of Congress has sug
gested that branch banks on wheels
armored cars may eventually
travel between banking centers and
the smallest villages, transacting
banking business for an hour or two
on certain days of the week in each
community. Something like that
may come about
CHANEY
The death of Lon Chaney is a
genuine loss to the world. He was
an entertainer of the first order,
alike in his proper person, in which
he appeared in "Tell It to the Mar
ines," and in the marvelous dis
guises and contorted make-ups
which he used in other films.
Chaney s career was a demonstra
tion of the American belief that op
portunity awaits every boy or girl
who is able to seize-it His youth
ful handicaps were tremendous.
His parents were deaf-mutes, his
father a barber on small wages.
Whatever he was to accomplish he
had to do for himself. He strug
gled for years on the stage and won
his first great success in pictures
when he was nearly forty. But he
brought to pictures a knowledge of
stagecraft and the art of acting,
learned by years of poorly paid ap
prenticeship. No man or woman
ever became a great artist in any
field without such a background of
uninteresting drudgery.
