POISE By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, Univereity of Illinois. * P H E man who sold me my ticket at •* the Grand Central station was wrlnkleless and plucid In his apiiear- anee. He came Into the office Just us I arrived, and relieved the clerk who had previously been there. lie re­ moved his coat deliberately and hung it up without haste or agitation, straightening the collar and smoothing out the wrinkles in the sleeves. lie adjusted his tie carefully and brushed back his hair, speaking to a fellow clerk in the meantime, all the while oblivious of the gathering line behind me. When he was ready to wait on me he went at the Job without haste or agitation. He confirmed my reservn- tlon calmly; he made out my ticket slowly; he consulted ull sorts of tallies and guides with u deliberation thut revealed the fact that he was not In­ fluenced by the pussuge of time. He was unmoved by the Irrltntlon of the woman behind me who wanted to catch the six fifteen train. When he finally hud everything looked up unri written in and pasted together and calculated und the ticket slipped into its outer clothing, twenty minutes had passed. The man had poise; he had self-control; he knew that the line behind me would keep up all day and all night and he was not going to allow u little tiling like that to worry him. If the wotnun did aot the six fifteen train there was toother going inter. And tills stute of mind explained why his cheeks were so round and his brow so unfurrowed anil his actions so calmly deliberate. He could go on doing ills work for ninety yeurs with out a nervous quiver; he would al ways seem uninfluenced by the rush­ ing crowds constantly going by him. I am not sure that he was not over­ doing this self-control a little, but most of us could take a lesson from him We worry too much. We rush Into things headlong and do them bndly. We lose our heads in a crowd or I d stress of one sort or another or In meeting the unexpected because we do not center our attention upon the main business Ih hand. We are throwD off our balance by little things; we have no poise. (© . 19J4, W eatern N ew sp ap er U nion.) Stan din g A lo n e By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dei.a of Men, University of Illinois.

Thi fact that tlio custom has become coin mon Is udeiiuate reason for most peo pie to follow It, whether the custon be smoking cigarette« or wearing » mechanical little gum Aruhlc cur over tlie forehead.

These are days of unrest nnd re volt, and there is very little doubt tiist drinking and gambling are pretty prevalent. When most young fellow« offer an excuse for these Irregularl ties It Is mostly the Illogical alibi that every one else Is doing It. and thut he should not be criticised since he Is as gm'al as the average. "Isn't It wrong?” I ask. “Doesn't It Injure you and your work?" "Yes," he replies, "but—" H hssn t the courage to stand alone He lacks the nerve to admit that hi has principles that make It Impos Bible for him to do some things am still keep faith with himself.

Battles are not won w ith­ out the high spirit of patriotism. Faith In our cause Is the first ele­ ment of success. To re-establish our faith lg our duty now and there are many assurances of faith rturnlng. tim ing the period of agricultural de­ pression we fell Into the dumps. We razed many temples we had built. Some of us sought other gods and the promised laud seemed greener over the hill. Some wore crepe and wept over ashes of disappointment. But sure as men rise from altars of of faith, so are the people of this community rising now to new hope land new determination to achieve I what they once sought and thought was here. Incidental Factors Other factors, not our own, are contributing to our future possibil itles. The growth of the Pacific Northwest Is being promoted by tremendous forces. Lumbering hat assumed enormous proportions. Ori­ ental trade Is developing. Coast manufacturing is growing. Western Itles are increasing In wealth and population by leaps and bounds.
