Jim an* nounc«<d hie determlnallun to start out at om-e In buaincsa. The day after hla graduation he went to see hie Uncle James Wallach. "Get a job for yourself." the uncle told him. “I'd only Im hindering you In the long run If I made a place here. Keep your mind on tbe Important con st d«>rat Ion»—not oti unlm|H>rtant de tail. Let some other fellow do that. Get to the top of whatever bualneea you decide to enter.

At the thresh old of the office James Wallach «ailed the nephew back. “Ray. here's another bit of advice," he said. “No matte.- how little you get to start on. support youraelf. Inni’t live at bom» and don't let them lend you a gon. and save a third of what you make." "But If I have to start on. say. 31!) a week.” protested Nephew Jim. “Home of the follows In my class are glad to get that for a start—" "Save five dollar^“ commanded the uncle. “You can do It. Black your own hoots, press your own pants, don’t smoke. Limit your, elf to thirty cents a day for luncheon. My limit was fif teen when I started." Aa it ha|«|>en«>d James ivouglas had just thirty live cents In hla pocket at that time, so It s«*emed rather Impera tive for him to begin the thlrty-cent luncheon ra-gltne at once. Five crate would be necessary for car fare. There must be no tip—th« t meant a cafeteria of some sort. Inconsiderate now, wasn't It, of Uncle Jim not to ask hla nephew to luncheon when he might have known that re«-ent commence ment activities hsd left him high and dry as far aa cash was concerned?

Jim had studied the menu p«>ste«l on the wall with some care and had de- termlncd on “Spanish rice," for the simple reason that "15c" waa written down beside It.
