KNUDSEN, vice * * president ot General Motors, hardly gave promise to the casual observer of being executive mate ria) 30 year ago Born in Den mark in 1880, he came to the Unit ed States at the age ot twenty, with $30 in his pocket. His first job was as a reamer and riveter in a New York shipyard, and later he worked in the railroad shops at Salamanca. N. Y., repairing locomotive boilers. Knudsen hac worked in a bicycle plant in Denmark, and he finally obtained n job as a bench hand in a similar factory in Buffalo, N. Y.

There is -o much in liking the work you do that, even if offered more money at something I did not like, think ' would stick with the thing that appealed to me more. And * would be thinking of my own success in doing that. For, when we are working on things we like, we can put in more extra hours, we take more extra pains, ve can do a better job. Doing the things we like, we tire less easily. We are inspired toward finding better ways, and we are able to contribute so much more than we may be actually paid for at the moment that advancement cannot fail to be rapid. • • • FLIVVER KING WAS A SIMPLE MECHANIC T 'lM F is so short, so swift in pass- ing, we should never be at loss for how 'o use it. The question should not be “How can 1 kill this evening?” but rather “Do I need to take this valuable time for fun, or is there something important I can do with it’ ” Consider the life of Henry Ford. He was born on a farm near Dear born, Mich., in 1863. Thi oldest of five children, Henry helped his fa ther with the plowing, shucked corn, mowed hay, cut grain, dug pota toes, and milked cows. Time nev er hung heavily on his hands. Me chanically inclined, he rigged up a small machine shop on the farm and repaired watches at night for the village jeweler.

Dad’s Birthday Party Raises Note Problem T~\ EAR Mrs. Post; Will you please write a form of invitation foi us under the following circum stances? I am one of four children, only one of us married, who wanf tri give a party in honor of my fa ther’s birthday, although I suppose it would be better not to mention the occasion. We would like to write the invitations by hand on small sized note paper stamped with our house address. While we are ask ing at least 75 people we want the invitation to sound as friendly and informal as possible. Answer: I would suggest that each one of you write notes to your own personal friends, and that whoever has most time and perhaps neatest handwriting also write those to your father’s friends and relatives, fol lowing this general wording: “Mary, Jim, Bob and I are having a party for father, on Sunday after United States marines shown opening the ponderous gate of the U. S. legation in Peiping, China. Under noon, January 31st. Won’t you come in between four and six o’clock?” the protection of the marines, American citizens find a safe haven as war rages between the Chinese troops As you notice, I have left the birth and the invading forces of Japan. Inset shows Col. John Marston, commander of the U. S. marine bar day out, but this does not mean racks at Peiping. that I think it improper to write, “Mary, Jim, Bob and I are having a MISS PARIS, 1937 birthday party for father . . . ” They Cut 14 Square Yards a Minute because those who know him very well and know it is his birthday will probably bring him a present, and this might make others who are very fond of him and would have liked to remember his birthday feel that they have come empty-handed. On the other hand, in going to a birthday party of any size no one should feel obliged to take a pres ent. • • • Are Parents Obligated (or Children’s Visits? TA EAR Mrs. Post: What is my po- sition regarding the parents of friends of my daughter? She is at college far away and goes home frequently with the girls whose homes are closer to the school. She sometimes mentions in her letters home that these girls’ parents are going to New York on a holiday, and as we live in the environs of New York I’m wondering whether it is expected that we extend some kind of hospitality to the parents at such times. Answer: Your real obligation is in encouraging her to invite these girls home with her when they have longer recesses or perhaps to let her ask them to come between school terms when they can stay longer. But why don’t you ask her whether she wants you to show par ticular hospitality to the parents she knows especially well, and what she suggests. She knows what type of people they are and whether they have friends in New York, or on the other hand, whether they are going as strangers or whether the mothers are likely to be alone while their husbands attend to business, or just what the individual situa tions are. • * A world’s record for scythe cutting was set recently by three Aus trian farmers who mowed an area of 14 square yards in one minute in a contest between land workers of Zwettl and Edelhof Agricultural col lege in Lower Austria.

Only seventeen years of age, with curly blonde hair and a naive smile, Lily Lamb, who has been desig nated “Miss Paris, 1937,” shows a divergent trend from the frail beauty of former winners. Miss Lamb was elected as beauty queen at the Casino of Troubille from a multitude of candidates at the Paris International exposition. © —W NU Service. WNU Service. Courage is the supreme virtue.

When he was twenty-four he returned to the farm and ran a sawmill, experimenting in his spare time with a steam car. There was never a question in his mind about what to do with time. His father was not in sympathy with Henry Ford's experiments, so he again wen' to Detroit, and worked for a power and light com pany at ah engineer on the night shift. During the seven years that he was there he became general manager; and night after night, at home, he worked lar into the morn ing hours in developing s gasoline motor car. Success came from his experiments at last, and in order to popularize the new vehicle, Hen ry Ford built racing cars and drove them himself in race after race. You know where Henry Ford stands today.

My sister-in- law had let me ask him so that my visit would be more plevsant. She and my brother certainly put them selves out to entertain us. I feel that the least my friend can do is write her a note, which I happen to know be hasn’t done. Is there a way I could remind him to write her, because his thoughtlessness certainly puts me in a bad light? Answer: I can think of nothing else to do except say to him, “I hate to ask you to write another one, but my sister-in-law never got your letter.” Then he will probably say, “What letter?” and you an swer, “Why, didn’t you write and say anything for that pleasant week end we had?” And that is that! • • • B u tter B alls R em ain EAR Mrs. Post: Has the vogue for “ butter balls” gone out? Several years ago it seemed that every hostess served fancy designs of individual butter portions but to day I never see them anywhere. Answer: No, 1 think butter balls are still seen in many houses al though it is true that in quite as many others butter is simply cut neatly into squares. The reason is probably that of time saving since very few of us have as many serv ants as we used to. One might, in fact, say that comparatively few have any. • • • B e tte r L ate Than N ever r \ EAR Mrs. Post: Is one sup- 1 posed to be able to hold over social obligations from one season to the next? I should have enter tained several new friends last spring but had no money to give a party of any kind then. I’m wonder ing if now, which is the first it has been possible, would be considered too late to repay these kindnesses? Answer: Not at all. There is no time limit on any return you want to make. After all, there are so many reasons why we may not be able to do what we want to when we want to.
