Something to Think About
By T A. IPALKER
KEEP ON HIGH ROAD
TN A recent newspaper Interview,
A Charles M. Schwab, one of tho
notable leudors In the steel industry
In which ho began ns a boy of seven
teen, forty-one years ago, sold, "I
would rather lose money month after
month In my plant than make It by
any but the highest methods In the
world."
Mr. Schwab went to work to learn
the business and he learned .t thor
oughly by mastering every detail ns
he proceeded, scorning a tired back
and soiled hands.
lie credits his rise to loyalty to
his employer and states that success
enmo from constant application to the
subject In view.
Here In a tew simple words, for
those who will take time to read, will
bo found the formula for the attain
ment of success.
And here too Is embodied the rule
which every person must nee'ept ns
his own, a hard and fast law as that
of the Modes and Persians, unfailing
In results and bounteous In reward.
Let the Indifferent young mun and
woman, Inclined to grumble nnd shirk
duty, ponder the wonderful meaning of
"highest methods," and "loynlty to em
ployer." ,
The five words may be likened to
hinges upon which the great door of
success swings wide open ut the un
relenting push of the hand and bralti
that refuse to be denied entrance.

TOO MUCH PROFANITY
rpOO often cussing is tnken as a
matter of course. Men in high
positions nre frequently expert In the
use of profane words, and the influ
ence of bad language has a bad effect
on both the old and the young.
Much effort Is being made to In
crease the use of better English, and
along with this propaganda it would
be well to preach considerable against
the use of bad language.
Directly cussing, unless the name of
the Master Is taken In vnln, may cause
no great damage. But Indirectly It does
much harm. When the little folk henr
their parents swearing, their respect
for thtlr elders Is either lessened or
else the youngsters begin using it
themselves as a matter of course. Not
Infrequently we hear little shavers,
hardly able to speak plainly, using
language which would put many men
nnd women to shnmc.
Pike county, Kentucky, recently
honored the memory of Its oldest citi
zen. Jesse B. Osborne. Much was said
In praise of this departed citizen, who
crossed the bnr at the age of ninety
two years, and no louder prnise was
heard than 'of his reputation for never
having permitted a profane word to
pass from his lips.
Judging from this event, one might
assume that profanity Is the rule rather
than the exception. If this Is the case,
Isn't It about time to call n halt? The
old remedy, considered quite effective
for curing profano habits, was to wash
the boy's mouth with soap. But, from
our observation, we are Inclined to be
lieve that It would be unfair to use
such a remedy to stop youths from

BY-PRODUCTS
THE Standard Oil company
found a way to utilize all
residue from tho distillation of
trolcum. Gasoline, now ono of
has
the
chief products of the concern was onco
a by-product. All tho coal tnr de
rivatives, from which many drugs nnd
medicines aro made, are by-products.
Bo are paraflln, candles, and hundreds
of other nrtlcles la every day use.
The Standard Oil company Is a big
concern. It has thousands of tech
nically trained experts at work for it.
It has plants nil over tho world the
biggest plants of tho kind In existence.
Such an Institution can well afford
to go Into tho business of making by
products, nnd to expend n part of Us
almost limitless energies In getting
all that Is possible out of the crudo oil
which Hows from Its wells.
But tho business of developing by
products Is for a corporation, und a
big one not for nn individual.
You may fancy that you can throw
off by-products easily 'ns you do your
dally work. You may believe, If you
nre a bookkeeper that by spending
a few nights writing moving picture
Dccnnrlos you will bo able to utilize all
your bruins, Instead of port of them.
If you arc a young professional man,
Whenever you go to work in sombre
days, remember that there Is within
you n force, which, If properly applied,
will enable you to open this samo door
and tnko your place among the leaders.
And this force must bo called up
by ypu alone.
, Nobody else can do It for you.
tJnve faith In yourself. IIuvo no
fear, for fear Is tho rock on which
humans fall and go tumbling into the
valley of despair.
No mun or woman with fear In the
heart ij capable of clear discernment,
sure judgment or superior accomplish
ment. .
Keep your mind on the great and
splendid achievements of others, nnd
those' you want, to do yourself. Be
loyal and hold steadfastly to highest
methods.
Preserve an attitude of courage,
courteousness nnd good cheer.
Avoid the malcontents, the grum
blers, the sulkers and shirkers, the
makers o wry faces and the provok
ers of quarrels.
Keep on the high road and in the
sunshine.
Move straight In the right direction
nnd some morning you will find that
success and honor nre speeding to
wards you with open nnns. .

cussing. The cause too frequently
rests with the parents who worry and
complain because their offspring are
devilish and almost beyond their con
trol. A general mouth-washing of tho
ciders probably would have greater
effect
Profane language Is not beautiful.
It does no good. It may be the stepping-stone
to lives of crime which end
in prison cells. For once the bars are
lowered against small wrongs, tho big.
ger wrongs nre certain to be lurking
near and crawl Into one's life.
Less profanity would add to tho Joy
of the world.

BLAKE
with little to do, you may Imagine that
you can take up novel writing, or act
ing, or bridge plnylng as u side line,
and thus get rich while you uro wait
ing for success in your profession.
It Is posslblo thnt you will get rich
nt ono or the other of theso 'Mngs.
But If you do, It will ho because you
have dropped your profession and de
voted yourself to tho by-product.
Anthony Hope, who wrote "The
Prisoner of Zenda" was trained ns n
bnrrlster, but ho . had no briefs, and
wrote stories to while away the hours
ho was waiting for clients. lie suc
ceeded ns a novelist, because he was
born to write, but ho stopped being n
lawyer as soon an his first book was
published.
In this world n man can learn to do
one thing fnlrly well. The tijio he has
Is better spent on that one tiling. Be
gin to scout nround for by-products
of your brain, and you will soon so
scatter your energies that you do noth
ing well.
If you wnnt to write "movie" sce
narios, write 'em, but don't try to keep
a set of books nt tho same time. It
can't be done. Tho expert accountants
who aro making big wages todny were
all satisfied to spend ail their spnro
time learning how to keep books
better.

Tramp the shore light-hearted, p.Iud;

Kill my lungs with cleuu ozone,
Lift my voice In lusty tone;
Watch the white ciouds sailing high
'Cross tho blue of April's sky.
April now, my desk s clenn ;
Trees unci grass are showing green;
Tang of springtime In the air
Good-by, now, old office chair I !
Off I lay life's weary loud
And go trumping down tho road
Down the rond between tho trees,
Drinking deep the April breeze.
April now, and field and stream
Bathed In April's go'iden gleam
Bid mo up nnd haste nwny
Where the sunbeums dance and ploy.
Out from dusty, dreary mart,
Close to Mother Nature's heart.
Out where springtime wukes anew
'Nenth tho April sky of blue.
April now, nnd songbirds wake
Echoes from each bough aud braka
Green the grnss beneath my feet,
Klowers spread their odors sweet;
Out across the field and fen,
Onward through the woodland glen,
Where tlie long, black furrows Ho
'Neuth tho sheen of April's sky.

men have been president all thesa

cident to hlin" In 1003, and his recovery
ol his former consciousness a few dnya
ago In Han Francisco, have no place In
the now uppermost portion of the con
sciousness of Frederick It. Emery. For
him 17 yenrs uro a complete blank.
Tho last thing that he remembered,
prior to being brought buck to hlmseK'
by being recognized by a friend In u
San Francisco park, was that ho had,
In 1005, leaned over to wrap uround
a tree tho lines with which he was
driving a. pair of mules.
Married Three Women.
And yet, during the 17 years slnco
that moment, he mnrrlcd three times.
Lie was soon divorced by his first wife
because of his peculiar actions. With
his second wife ho lived for many
years and had two children, although
he finally dropped out of sight.
Coming to Los Angeles, he becamo
an expert accountant for the old Los
Angeles Investment company, nnd
when It crashed ho was convicted Of
embezzling and sent to San Quentln
for two years.
During tho yenrs In Los Angeles ho
married u third time, this wife subse
quently dying.
Emery came to consciousness in
this wny: He wus walking along Mar
ket street, San Francisco, nnd, notic
ing many signs referring to thnt city,
ho nsked a policeman : "Am I lost, or,
is this San Francisco?"
lie then went Into a hotel, sat down,
and tried to think. lie could only re-
"Am I Lost or Is This San Francisco."
cnll the events of June 15, 1905. Find
ing $15 In his pocket, he rented n room.
Dizzy, he lay down on tho bed. whero
he slept for 18 hours.
Toward noon of the second day ho
went to Union square. There he met
a man who spoke to him.
"Pardon me," he said, "but I do not
remember ever having seen you."
"Certainly you know me," was the
reply. "1 knew you well In Los An
geles." Ho then lenrncd thnt It was II. A.
Spencer, who, when Emery was In Los
Angeles, hnd been secretary of tho
Sierra Madre club.
Held for Passing Check.
Meanwhile Emery, who through all
his vicissitudes had never gone under
nn alius, was arrested In Snn Fran
cisco for having passed a fraudulent
check upon a Los Angeles bank. Ho
did not say that he was Innocent, but
that if he had he had no recollection
of It.
Meanwhllo Emery's mother and
Spencer had been busy trying to re
construct the 17 dcaa yeurs.
Emery has been a real estate man,
newspaper solicitor, merchant, nc
countant, convict, head of a family
and, for a short period, something of
n tramp. Always ho stuck to his
name, but seemed to havo nothing elso
thnt linked him with his people nnd
his pnst.
The check passing case has been
postponed at the suggestion of tho
state and all of tho efforts of tho offi
cials will bo directed to restoring
Emery's mentality.
Refuses Sentenced Man Minus Papers
Leavenworth, Kan, Because he did
not have commitment papers, Charles
W. Bownn, convicted of using the malls
to defraud, was not admitted to Leav
enworth prison, although he spent a
week In a cell In the prison. He was
later arrested In Milwaukee, Wis.,
where nn officer had pursued tiltn with
the proper papers.

Both these tires are built in a factory devoted
exclusively to manufacturing Goodyear Tires fo
