KILLING THE SNAKE
A pamphlet issued by one of the
big Insurance companies tells us
how to act in emergencies: how to
revive a drowning person; how to
bandage a burn; what to do for
snake bite.
On this last subject there is an
introductory sentence which is set
in big type for emphasis. It reads:
DON'T STOP TO KILL THE
SNAKE.
The idea contained in that crisp
utterance has far-flung applications.
Whether any specific deed should
or should not be done depends not
merely upon its character but
equally upon the circumstances and
the time.
Years ago I Interviewed Dr. John
R. Mott, a great leader, and I asked
him his rules for selecting execu
tives. "I watch a candidate for a long
time before I decide," he answered.
"I want to satisfy myself on two
points: Does he do small things
well? Does he do FIRST things
FIRST?"
As he spoke I remembered a well
intentioned, hard working man who
was under my observation at one
time. He had a most amazing ca
pacity for doing his work in the
wrong order.
He was to meet his boss one day
at the Grand Central Station with
tickets for Detroit. The boss arriv

Driving over Austerlitz mountain,

tailed cock pheasant rocketed out

shield and fell to the road with a
broken neck. He deserved a better
fate.
The breeding of pheasants is be
ing encouraged by the states of the
Northeast. Some state authorities
supply pheasant eggs free to those
who will hatch them under barn
yard hens. New York is paying
4-H Club boys and girls $1 each for
mature pheasants so hatched. They
are liberated in the state forest
preserve, to be shot by hunters in
the proper season.
In Virginia and some other parts
of the South the native American
partridge is sometimes called a
pheasant. There is no native phea
sant. These game birds are im
ports from China and eastern Asia.
They have been bred in Europe for
sport for centuries. American hunt
ers have pretty well cleaned out
our native game birds, but it is
expected the imported pheasant
will increase and multiply under
careful conservation, so that there
will still be something for the next
generation of sportsmen to shoot.
BONUSES
Bethlehem Steel Company, in re
sponse to the protests of some
stockholders who thought the men
who run the business were getting
too much money for their work, has
increased salaries and reduced the
percentage of bonuses paid to em
ployees for Increased production.
Perhaps the Bethlehem bonuses
were too high; I cannot judge that.
I am certain, however, that the
greatest Incentive to good work
which any employer can offer to his
employees is to give them money
rewards above their wages if they
do more than the routine require
ments of their jobs.
Some day the whole wage system
will be revised and every worker
will be paid precisely In proportion

and, telephoning the office, found
the man still at his desk. His ex
cuse was that he was engaged on a
plan which he thought might pos
sibly double the business and he
had become so engrossed in it that
he had forgotten his watch.
The plan might have been all
right, though it turned out not to
be, but in dealing with it at the
wrong time he caused the boss to
miss a train and lose an order.
He was forever writing memor
anda on matters outside his depart

duties for which he was paid. He
was usually late to the office be
cause he had gone out of his way
to make a call which he believed
might be of benefit to the company.
All of his activities were inspired
by a genuine desire to Increase the
business and so raise his own earn
ing power. But he was a nuisance,
and was finally fired.
The human race possesses all the
information necessary for, the suc

its troubles arise because men fail
to make a schedule and arrange

BABCOCK
When Dr. Stephen Moulton Bab
cock died at the age of 87 a few
days ago, there passed on the man
who, more than any other individ
ual, was the father of the modern
dairy industry. The Babcock Test
for butter fat revolutionized dairy
ing, and s,et a new standard to
which to breed dairy cows.
Today the butter industry, which
Includes not only milk, cheese and
butter production but the wide
range of manufacturing industries
based on the use of casein, from
skim milk, is one of the greatest
in the nation. It has brought the
impoverished wheat states of the
Northwest into the forefront of ag
ricultural prosperity. It has brought
healthful, nourishing food within
the reach of everybody. And all
that as the result of one agricultur
al college professor's experiments.
McCORMICK
Exactly 100 years ago, in July,
1831, a young Virginia farmer nam
ed Cyrus McCormick made the first
public demonstration of his horse-
drawn reaper. At that time more
than four-fifths of the people of the
United States were engaged in
farming. To put in another way, it
took the labor of four families on
the farm to feed five families, in
cluding themselves.
The direct result of McCormick's
invention was to increase agricul
tural production, and reduce the
number of farmers. Today fewer
than a quarter of our people are
farmers. One family on the farm
feeds three other families who pro
duce no food. And anyone who
knows farming will agree that few
er farmers could feed the whole
nation.
McCormick became a millionaire,
one of the few such in his time. His
descendents still control the Inter
national Harvester Company. They
are industrialists, and the United
States has become an Industrial na
tion, largely because of Cyrus Mc
Cormick. POPULATION
The population of the United
States is not increasing at as rapid
a rate as formerly. We have about
125,000,000 people now, and Presi
dent Hoover recently said that the
expectation is for an increase of
20,000,000 In 20 years. That would
give us 145,000,000 in 1951.
The Importance of those figures
lies in the fact that some long-time
industrial and railroad operations
have been based on the expectation
that population would keep on
growing at the rate which it did In

the 1890's and early 1900'8, when
immigration was unrestricted. Pres
sure for the lowering of Immigra
tion bars comes mainly from those
interests.
Farm production in the United
States today is sufficient to feed
140,000,000. Farmers must find a
foreign market for food sufficient
for 15,000,000 people, therefore, or
suffer from low prices. The alter
native is to reduce the acreage un
der cultivation for the staple crops.
That is what the Federal Farm
Board is preaching, and it is bound
to come.
A demon taxi-driver whirled us
into Fifth Avenue out of Twenty
third street the other noon, just
beating a red light, grazing a traf

liberately he took a big handker
chief from his pocket. "Listen,
cowboy," he said, "On your way
back I'll drop this, an' see if you
can pick it up wit' yer teeth." With
this he motioned him on.

AFTER 40
bowel trouble
Constipation may very easily become
chronic after forty. And any continued
constipation at that time of life may
bring attacks of piles and a host of
other unpleasant disorders.
Watch your bowels at any age.
Guard them with particular care after
forty. Whenever they need any help,
remember a doctor should know what
is best for them.
"Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin"
is a doctor's prescription for the bowels.
Tested by 47 years' practice, it has
been found thoroughly effective in
relieving constipation and its ills for
men, women and children of all ages.
It has proven perfectly safe even for
babies. Made from fresh laxative
herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless
ingredients, it cannot gripe; will not
sicken you or weaken you; can be used
without harm as often as your breath
is bad, or when your tongue is coated;
whenever a headachy, bilious, gassy
condition warns of constipation.
