Your Face and Specialists of Varied Types Required in Manifold Branches of Electrical Industry-Big Oppor tunities Ahead for Right Persons. By MAB&L WARNER RUGG. THE flcctrical industry is so manifold that we can but touch generally upon its main branches, giving some idea of its -wide range oh interests and splendid opportuni ties. There is the technical service branch, the manufacturing phase and the selling angle. Each of these correlates closely with the other, and each in turn is sub-divided into markedly different phases, requiring varied types of workers. Omaha is the jobbing center of the central states for many branches of the industry but has little of the manufacturing. That is carried on in Chicago and cities farther east. Specialists Required. In Otnalia, as in other large job bing centers of the electrical indus try, the men who head the business is as sal( managers or general man agers, should- be, and generally are, men with a technical college educa tion in electrical engineering. How ever, if the beginner Is willing to go into a great manufacturing plant and serve a four-year apprenticeship, WHY Does a House Have Chimney Pots? The tall chimneys which are char acteristic of factories, power plants. and other places where heat is used for the generation of energy, and the chimney pots to be seen on top of dwellings, have much in common, for 'he two work along the same prin ( iple that a constant supply of oxy gen is essential to the burning of a bright, well-heating fire. In fact, ,the rate at which a draught of air travels throught the burning coals is directly responsible lor the raoiditv at which the fire burns, and it is for this reason that the opening of draughts above and below a furnace will cause a rapid rise in temoerature. while cutting off the supply of air keeps the flame at a low ebb. The rate at which this draught of sir travels through the burning sub- siancc, ciepenas. in large part, upon the height of the flue above the fire, and when a grate or furnace doe3 not draw well, the diffieiiltv ran often be overcome by the addition of an extension known as a "chimney vy i" me iop or ine ennnney. This lias the effect of increasing the draught and operates along the same lines as the towfring chimneys nec essary to cause a sufficient volume of air to pass through the factory fires.

Many wise heads are nodding and saying the next four year are go ing to mean' a return to a higher plane of Jhinking and being than the immediate present in business and society would indicate. Don't you want to be in line? Call it the style or what you will, but a iew order of things is com ing just around the corner, and you known yourself you are getting pretty tired of so much that is sordid and loose in present-day customs. Nothing short of high ideals and courage to carry .these ideals into every phase of every-day life will ward off destruction at the hands of those who cater to the baser in stincts. It is time we all began to pull to gether for a mutual benefit. The world has not seen real law and order for many a day. Why don't you help to set the style instead of Ming forced event ually to keep within bounds. It is a lot easier to do things from conviction than because one is forced to sound the depths as you go along and find out what decent persons are talking about and get in line so quickly that it will look as if you, the offender, were demand ing clean living and clean amuse ment.

The electrical field, above all oth ers, -requires specialists. The sell ing end is as manifold as the other phases of the industry, so the men entering these various parts of the business must be of the right type, for success. There is the wire specialist, who handles hundreds of kinds of wire a science in itself "to know and sell. The salesman who takes up wiring is interested in nothing else, excepting telephone apparatus, closclv allied oroduct. Another line. very, different, is the selling of huge power plant equip ment. I he man who sells thts-linc will not, be interested at all in ar tistic lighting fixtures. Conversely, the man whp works successfully in the special , lines o lighting for homes, offices, and stores will not know, nor care, about - great tur bines and boners of the power plant. Types for Varied Branches. Tf you have been applying the rules of character analysis here, you will realize what different types of men These salesmen must be. I he men who sell the big turbines and boilers must be of the purely en gineering, decided motive type medium to coarse in' texture v The men specializing on lighting fixtures must show the artistic na Hire, with their motive structure they must be more mental motive, finc'.tcxturei and refined. The wire specialist can succeed with less book education and less technical training than the other types, and he can get his training as a helper in almost any retail electric wiring shop in this city. The public in genecal has but- lit tie conception of how highly spe cialized the electrical game is and does not know what splendid possi bilities it has to offer in comparison with any field of endeavor today. The field of work with electricity is ever widening. Opportunities Ahead. Youne men eoinsr into the indus pry now will have the opportunity to figure with little towns from one end of the state to the other, showing them how much cheaper rates can be when the cost of generating power is reduced by centralization. And let us add in closing that women arc just awaking to the fact that electricity can lessen their labor Scientists arc' prophesying that the next new- industry - will be house hold engineering and this will mean that much of the work now being done by hand labor will be taken over by an electrical plant in the home, at a moderate expensf. Inci dentally, there is no reason why women should not fit in ideally at this stage of the game. Answers to Question. E. H 2330 Charlotte street, Kanns City.

HI AUJ More Truth By JAMES J. ft &r V tfc, jliiil iiiaaAJaa"' NO : - Perhaps, as young John D. has just suggested, A hash was made of Mr. Samson's life, And he of hair and strength was quite divested J Because he picked a looker for a wife. ( Delilah, says young John, had too much beauty To cook and sweep and work around tha house; She hated every sort of wifely duty And so she played the traitor to her spouse. It may be true that happiness conjugal In life is far more easy to attain When wives have no desire but'to be frugal, And most of such, unluckily, "are plain. It may be true that husbands lose their buttons. Grow old before their time, and bowed with care When wives forgef to sweep, neglect their muttons And spend their time in doing up their hair. It may be true that fhefe i small enjoyment, And very little comfort in repose When wedded to a wife whose chief employment Consists of dabbing powder on her nose. , Though beauty in a ball room is alluring, And charming in a' garden's leafy shade, ' It often is a trifle past enduring To have to sit around and see it made. And yet at that, we tell young John D. plainly, That he may talk, and write and scheme and plan. And even lecture Sunday pupils vainly, He'll never dim the lure of looks for man. For youth will come and sit and look and listen And doubtess they will fervently aree And then with beating hearts and eyes that glisten They'll pick the niftiest looker that they see. r VAX 3X1" SOMETHING IS WRONG SOMEWHERE.
