MISPLACED TALENT
Two young men, who are brothers,
swung off a train in a midwestern
city the other day. These youths
hunted up two cousins whom they
had not seen for fifteen years.
"Remember us?" they inquired of
their two cousins.
The cousins didn't remember until
the two brothers jumped into them
with their fists and began to settle
a quarrel which began when they
were all children a decade and a half
ago.
When the fight was over one of the
cousins needed a doctor and the
other was little better off.
Each of the two brothers drew a
thirtyday sentence from the court.
We must admit that these brothers
had spirit and something else.
To nourish a grievance for fifteen
years is a record. But wnat useless
application of perfectly god talent!
Anyone who can concentrate upon
one purpose for fifteen years can do
almost anything.
Such determination and persistence
are sufficient to carry one across the
ocean, build a house, take one to con
gress or win a wife.
Roosevelt, a puny youth, was de
termined to be strong. At the end of
a year or two of roughing it in the
west he had l-uilt a constitution
which was the foundation of one of
the most strenous lives in history.
Edward Bok. determined to make
the world more beautiful, published
pictures and specifications of artistic
homes in his magazine until thou
sands of such homes had been built.
George W. Goethals, put in charge
of digging the Panama Canal, made
that the chief business of his life
from the day of his appointment.
One of his biographers says
"Goethals took the Canal to bed with
him." What he meant was that the
great engineer concentrated on his
job to such a degree that he knew
more about the details of the gigantic
undertaking than any of his assist
ants If you would make your mark you
must concentrate. We know one
man in this city who has held four
teen jobs in six years.
He needs the persistence of the
two belligerent brothers who stuck
to one bad idea for fifteen years.
It might just as well have been a
good idea.

THEY WILL HAVE TO SHOW US
We have a sneaking idea that the
British combine on crude rubber is j
the least of the reasons for high
price in auto tires. It looks more
like a combine of tire manufacturers
of this country. If Mr. Hoover makes
too much fuss about the British corner
on crude rubber, the British may show!
what a graft our manufacturers haveline BerPen taiKing. He De

Hoover has always been told this is

SELF-CONFIDENCE
"How is you confidence today? If
everything we hear and read about
self-confidence is true, it is very near
ly the only thing essential for suc
cess. There are numerous schools that
claim to develop this wonderful gift
by mail. In fact, these schools are
so confident of their ability to instill
this feeling in their pupils that they
all require payment in advance.
They claim that if you are not sat
isfied with their course and you think
you can get your money back you
are demonstrating by that thought
that you have developed great self-
confidence.
Indeed, if you try to get a refund
they will send you another bill with
the claim that the course has given
you over-confidence.
Believe in yourself and your abil
ity. Then you can always be sure of
having at least one admirer.
One pupil of a correspondence
school reports that, after taking the
course he went straight to his boss
and told him he'd quit if he didn't
get a raise. And he did.
Self-confidence may be a nice thing
to have, but it is an unpleasant thing
to listen to. The first thing to learn
is that self-confidence is a mental,
rather than a vocal accomplishment.
A rugged confidence is essential for
success in prize-fighting. One must
have what might be called a "hard
boiled ego."
The correspondence schools should
spend less time teaching people how
to get jobs and more time telling
them how to keep them. Tell the
firm that you are a "go-getter." But
don't bore them or you'll have to go
get a new job.
Some men can say two and two
equals four, with as much impressive-
ness as though they were explaining
the theory of relativity.
However, it has never been really
decided whether self-confidence de
velops success or success develops
self-confidence.
:o:
HE GOT RESULTS
Many fortunes have been made,
much of practical and beneficial suc
cess promoted, by the newspapers,
as generally known, but that not so
very frequently is acknowledged,
publicity, at least John N. Willys,
automobile manufacturer, makes an
exception to the general rule.
Recently, in New York, Mr. Willys
gave a luncheon to a number of news
papermen of that city and in the
course of the entertainment said:
"All of you know what has hap
pened in Willys-Ovrlsnd c'uring the
past four years. We have stepped
from a deficit of $33,000,0000 in
1921. to a profit and loss surplus
of about $25,000,000; from a pro
duction of 40.000 cars a year in 1921
to a planned production of 300,000
for 1926; and we owe a tremendous
precentage of this succcess to the
manner in which we have gone to the
public in general through the news
papers to tell the story of our product. I
Our plans for the present year arel
even more comprehensive." i
Extending comment is not neces-j
K.irv in this Instnnpp PTPPnt to sav
that even though Mr. Willys' com
pany had kept quiet about it, had not
employed the newspapers to carry the
information to millions of people, his
company would still be nursing
deficit. But, in his wisdom, and with
good business judgment, he enployed
the newspapers. Through their ad
vertising and news columns, to aid
him to complete his achievement
making an excellent case and, in addi
tion, letting the public know about
it and thus he is able to report go
ing from loss to profit, from compara
lively limited production to the mak
ing of cars by the three hundred
thousands. The moral is obvious.
