She's playing the stock market, using her gift of clairvoyance instead of inside tips. Miss Dennis who has been making i tour of the country answering ques tions propounded by theater aud iences, returned to her home in Atchison recently, for a visit with the "home folks" after which she will go to New York where, as she says," a bunch of experts will examine her." She entered the office of an Atchi son newspaper the other day and casually asked: "How's steel?" “What's that?" inquired a reporter. "Steel, United States steel. Was there a break after a slow opening?" she went on. She says that the show business Is a "hard life."

We're leaving wheat alone for a spell.” Miss Dennis states that the offer she has received from a motion pic ture corporation will be rejected. "If my gift of picking sure things on the market keeps up.” she said, “no more footlights for Eugene.” Incidentally, after closing out at 80 on 1,000 bales of Cotton, bought at 23 3-4, Miss Dennis Intends to pur chase a new automobile with her share.

Good Executive Is Real Teacher Cleveland Busine6b Expcrl Ad dresses Ad-Sell League on “Just Business.’’ "The good executive is primarily a teacher," said E. Elmo Martin of Cleveland, In his talk on "Just Busi ness" before the Ad-Sell league nt Its dinnor at the Hotel Fontenelle Mon day night. He continued: "In our efforts to Bell our Ideas to the man above, and to sell cmr Ideas to the men and women under our direction, It Is well to remember that: "You cannot taka an Idea out of a man’s mind; the best you can do Is to proceed to put another idea into his mind. "No man can transmit, with exact precision, a thought which he has, to the mind of another. "As an executive thlnketh so Is he. "Men seek to Justify (heir actions on motives other than those that Im pel the act. "The good executive will put It in writing." "A man's understanding depends almost entirely on his mental atti tude,” Mr, Martin declared. “Sev enty-five per cent of needed supervi sion and possibly 75 per cent of fric tion is due to misunderstandings, and both can be materially reduced if the executive will come to know and re gard the fundamental facts of human nature in his dealings with hks co workers—the people above and the people below," ho said. "A good executive in order to be able to manage his subordinates must have the knowledge of the technique of the business, must know how to handle himself and his own work and how to multiply himself through others."
