Babson Advises Parents of Service Men
By Roger Babson
Babson Park, Mass., July 13
(Special Correspondence) Too
many returning service men
want to go into business for
themselves. This Is a good sign
of initiative, independence and
enterprise; but let me warn such
that starting a business of one's
own is a serious and risky mat
ter. Better buy into a going
business, if possible one in
which one's family is now en
gaged.
Pioneering Business
Is Very Difficult
Pioneering is profitable when
it succeeds, but such success re
quires patience, hard work and
sacrifice. Besides, one Should
have sufficient capital to carry
him through several years of
struggle. It is believed that
over 90 per cent of the people
starting new businesses fail
This statement applies not only
to developing new kinds of busi
ness, but also to starting new
factories or opening new stores
in competition with existing fac
tories and stores.
The great mass of people are
actuated by their acquired
habits. They tend to purchase
at the same store, year' in and
year out, although other stores
may give better service. They
buy the same kind of food, shoes
and household goods even
though better products are in
the market for less money.
They read the same newspaper
and magazines, making it very
difficult for a new publication
to get a foothold. Established
habits make it especially hard
for new concerns.
Need of Education

Of course, there are enough
exceptions to the above rule to

Better buy an established busi
ness. But to succeed in any
business a man should have a
business education.
Thornfnw returning: service
men should go to some school
to learn the basic principles oi
business or else get a Job which
will enable them to learn such
principles. It is a great mistake
to go out into the postwar busi
ness world without first study
ing economics, accounting, dis
tribution and production wheth
er you are to have a business of
your own some day, or are al
ways to work for some one else.
Evprv returned service man
should analyze himself and de
termine for what he is best fit
ted. Here are the six main
groups: (1) The professions, such
as medicine, law and the min
ctrv m Knplnpprino. includ
ing chemistry and electricity. (3)
Real estate, building ana con
struction work. (4) Agriculture,
rnraotn, onH horticulture. (0)
Manufacturing, designing and
assembling. (6) Mercnanaizing,
advertising and promotion. But
to succeed under competitive
postwar conditions, in any one
of these groups, a man should
have a year's education In busi
ness. To help returning service men
get such a business education

Railon-Weary CooHs
Offered Recipe By
Ex-German Captive
Portland, Ore., July 13 (U.R)
Lt. Charles R. Stafford, of Pott
land, a prisoner of the Nazis for
18 months, offered his culinary
abilities to ration-weary house
wives across the nation today.
While in a German prisoner
of war camp in western Ger
many, the AAF pilot picked up
some revolutionary ideas of
cooking. .
One of Stafford's favorite re
cipes, cooked up through the in
valuable aid of Red Cross pack
ages, was a sort of fruit cake a
la Stalagluft, which he says, "Is
enough to last six hungry Yanks
until they get tired of it."
"You grind up 12 boxes of
service biscuit they are the K
ration wafers of whole wheat,
soy beans and vitamins and
you add a pound of dissolved
powdered milk. You stir this up
into a thick paste. Then you add
a pound and a half to two
pounds of German beet sugar.
