YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE
THEM TIME
A woman whose son is in his sec
ond year at college writes that her
boy is well mannered and intelligent
but does not seem to have any ob
jective. "His-father and I urge him to de
cide what he wants to do in life,"
she says, "but he tells us that he
can not make up his mind."
For the encouragement of this
mother I can cite two interesting
cases.
A certain man now stands near
the top of his profession, with an in
come considerably in excess of a
hundred thousand dollars a year.
He worked hard in college, but his
health was poor; he was frequently
despondent, and at his graduation
he felt that he was not trained for
anything.
He took the first Job offered, and
made surprisingly good progress.
Just about the time that his parents
thought he was well established he
suddenly chucked the job and start
ed around the world. After a year's
travel, which used up all his sav
ings, he started in another position.
The company failed, and he was out
again. A third time he started in a
different line, but it did not interest
him. He could not get to first base.
On his fourth attempt, when he
was almost thirty years old, he fin
ally found work that gripped him.
Also, he became engaged to be mar-'
ried. He jumped into high speed
and has been successful ever since.
I know another man whose ability
was clearly recognized by the heads
of the big company where he work
ed, but somehow they could not
seem to fit him into the place where
he would be really productive. Four
or five times they shifted him into
different departments. They were
just about to turn him into the
street when he struck the one thing
for which he was really fitted. To
day he is vice president of the whole
concern.
When I buy an automobile the
salesman tells me that it has been
perfectly manufactured for Its work
and carefully inspected and tuned
up. At the same time, he says that
I must be patient with it For the
first two thousand miles I must run
it slowly, and I must bring it in
often and have it adjusted.
We expect this in an automobile.
But in a youngster we have the no
tion that the factory which is the
school or college ought to turn
him out all ready for a champion
ship race at high speed.
It takes a lot of wisdom and pa
tience to be the father of a boy who
is starting in life. Boys must have
a chance to get adjusted. You've
got to give them time.
ESKIMOS
Traders returning from the Hud
son's Bay country tell of Eskimo
families whose Incomes in actual
money run up to $40,000 a year,
which they earn by trapping the
rare white fox for its fur. These
Eskimos, like all other uncultured
people who come into possession of
sudden wealth, have no idea of the
value of money. They spend their
Incomes on airplane joyrides, com
mercial aviators having discovered
that there is easy money in flying
up to Herschel Island, in the Arctic
ocean, where these Eskimos live,
and charging them $375 for a flight
to Edmonton. They pay $300 a ton
for coal with which to heat their
Igloos, buy the most expensive radio
sets, and arouse the envy of their
less fortunate neighbors.
Some moralists are Inclined to
criticize these Eskimos for their
lack of thrift, but it seems to me as
if they were getting more out of life
than many persons who save their
pennies and deny themselves any
thing in the way of luxury.
WINE
It Is not Illegal, the Director of
Prohibition declares, to make wine
or beer in one's own home for one's
own use. The law does not prohibit
the making of beverages which are
not "intoxicating in fact," but pro
hibits their sale.
It does not take a very long mem
ory to recall 'the time when the do
mestic manufacture of wine for
home use was a part of the year's
regular routine in a large propor
tion of farm and village homes. El
derberry wine, dandelion wine and
wine from other fruits and ingre
dients shared honors with the
grape. And our grandmothers al
ways took pains to see that there
was a supply on hand of "black
berry cordial," which was supposed
to have sovereign value in digestive
disturbances. Probably blackberry
cordial would come under the pro
hibition ban today, for it certainly
was "intoxicating in fact." But one
needed a capacity far beyond the
ordinary to consume enough of the
old-fashioned home-made wines to
become Intoxicated by them.
ST. BERNARD
In ordering Italian border guards
to fire on the monks of St. Bernard
when they crossed the Italian bor
der to rescue some snowbound trav
elers, the Fascist government out
raged the humane sensibilities of
the whole world. The Hospice and
monastery of St. Bernard, founded
in the year 926 by Bernard de Men
thon, is more than a Swiss institu
tion; It is enshrined In the heart of
the whole Christian world.
Who has not heard of the men
who give their lives to save others,
as these monks have done for a
thousand years? Situated 8,120 feet
above sea-level, at the summit of
the oldest-traveled pass across the
Alps, the Hospice is a refuge for
travelers though motorists are not
especially welcome and the home
of the famous St Bernard dogs.
These great creatures, standing
three feet tall, are a breed especi
ally developed by the monks, with
thick hair to withstand the cold,
keen noses to smell stray travellers
caught In the snowstorms, and great
strength to drag them to safety or
run swiftly for aid.
More than 20,000 persons every
year spend the night at the Hos
pice. No charge is made, but every
body is supposed to contribute the
price of a night's lodging to the lit
tle church there.
HELIUM
Instead of being a rare gas, ob
tainable only at a high cost as it
was a few years ago, helium, the
lightest of all the elements except
hydrogen, is now obtained In prac
tically unlimited quantities from
the Government-owned gas wells in
Texas and Oklahoma.
A movement has been started to
induce the President and the Secre
taries of War and of the Navy to
permit the exportation of helium
gas for use in commercial airships
in other countries. Nothing could
do more to aid in the development
of dirigibles, and such an action on
the part of officials would go far
toward better international rela
tions. But probabilities are that the
advocates of war and the timorous
ones who think the rest of the
world is lying in wait to pounce up
on the United States, will make a
vigorous protest against letting any
other nation have something which
might be used in making war upon
us.
HEAT
The newest vision of science is a
substance which will take the place
of steam for heating purposes.
Diphenyl, a substance obtained from
benzine, is said by the American In
stitute of Chemical Engineers to be
much better for this purpose. It is
a solid which melts at a tempera
ture of 157 degrees and vaporizes at
492 degrees.
A house heating plant using dip
henyl would have boiler and pipes
full of this solid, which would grad
ually become liquid as the fire was
started, and would circulate through
pipes and radiators like water. It
holds heat better than steam, and
it is said to give off more of the heat
from the boiler furnace than steam
does.
Turkey Dressing to Be
Demonstrated This Fall
Turkey marketing in Oregon this
fall is likely to be carried out on a
more profitable basis to producers
than ever before as the result of
the extension of marketing associa
tions and the better preparation of
the birds for market.
Killing and dressing demonstra
tions have been arranged through
the Oregon State college extension
service for Hermiston, Redmond
and Prineville the week of Novem
ber 3 to 8. Similar work was done
in southern Oregon in previous
years with satisfactory results.
