Earl Willard, young shoe-factory worker at Brockton, Mass., has one of the strangest jobs in the world, as a sideline. ‘ Seven years ago, a woman in his factory caught her hair in belting that dragged her into a piece of machinery. As an act of mercy, to replace the woman’s lost scalp, Willard gave 24 square inches of his skin, for. grafti purposes. = It dawned 6n him, tHat here was an opportunity to make potket-money ‘on the side. Since then, Willard has sold 54 inches of his skin at $1 a square inch, and eight pints of his blood for transfusion at $25 a pint. Primarily, his purpose is humanitarian. But it reveals that many opportunities, often of a peculiar nature, are lying around loose in the world, waiting to be discovered by sharp eyes that sense their possibilities. If a meteor falls in your back yard one of these days, the next train probably will bring a panting buyer from a big concern in Rochester, N. Y. The Rochester company specializes on the buy- ing and selling of meteors and regularly issues price lists on various grades and qualities. It will interest you to know that enough metecrs fall on our earth each year to make their collection and sale profitable. ; ‘ Still more interesting is that some one had suf- ficient vision to see the unexplored opportunity’ in the meteor business. Compasses were always getting out of order on Great Lake ships, causing no end of inconveni- ence, delay and accidents. 1 ‘frank Morrison, then a young man, saw in the situation a great opportunity. He studied com- passes, became an expert with them. | Soon he had built up a big business in Cleve- land as “the only compass maker on the chain of lakes,” wtih a steady trade at repairing, inspect- ing and overhauling the needle devices that point north to the magnetic pole. Along our seacoasts, four or five other men! have carved their way to comfortable fortunes! with the same implement. Observe that Willard, Morrison and the meteor collectors found their opportunities in queer’ pur- opportunities, 4 For the man or woman with imagination and! alert eyes, the world is full of just such opportuni- ties. Keep on looking, never permit discourage- ment, and eventually you will find what you seek. | Jt may help:tomotice that the Willard-Morrison- | meteorologist, tri id,discovered opportunity by look- | ing about until they found something that no one else was doing, despite a waiting market. FS BOOM ink times still are “bad”? Do you long for a4 of theigreat boom of 1919? | ~The steel industry ie the! thermometer of .gen- eral prosperity. And in'‘April the mills produced 2,439,246 tons ‘of steel ingots, against 2,239,711 | tons in April 1919. | Hard times rapidly are becoming imaginary.| Production is beginning to boom. That’s the im-| portant thing. Money prosperity will adjust it- self rapidly, once we're all working. | We'll have fewer dollars, but our dollars will! buy more. | i} “DAD”. No machine shop or mill is complete without an} old, white-haired dinner-pail carrier whom every- | one calls “Dad.” | 'In our country are 276,550 “dads”—wage earn-| ers past 60 years old. Maybe some of them wish , they could have saved enough in youth to enable, them to spend their old age without toil. i But work, like opium, is a habit. The man who| works until he is 60 usually would as soon be-deai| as without something to do. The system gets us| all. The truly “richest” old man in America prob-| ably carries a dinner-pail, measuring his wealth: in health and happiness, not money. | SEL SEs Se ei, REPAIRS Rail labor board takes up’ its -cudgels against) the contract system by which railroads are “farm- ing out” about a third of their repair work to outsiders, at lower labor cost. We seem to have the same problems in each. generation, over and over. As far back as 1854, the contract system was in’use by a number of roads, including the Philadelphia, Wilmington Baltimore. ' ' That road’s contracts covered practically entire operation ahd maintenance, also most new con- struction. Pondering that program, railroad em- ployes realize they have made big progress and that their present contract problem is only a ghost | of the old one. PARASITES? The average farm family has to feed three city families, in addition to itself. This is figured out by census experts, who find that of the nation’s 41,614,248 workers, only 10,953,158 are engaged in agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry. A near-sighted farmer is apt to look on the city people as parasites. To a certain extent, they may be. * But, without city folks, the farmer would have no market for his surplus crops. He would plow with a sharp stick instead of the city-made steel plow. His furniture, rugs, clothing, auto, wire fencing, wireless and other devices come from the city. It is a fair exchange between city and country, except when farm and city prices are out of bal- ance, as often is the case. i BOBBED Bobbed hair is only a fad, and will die out next fall. Charles M. Kozlay, president of the national hair dressers’ association, says this in Philadel- phia. , Fashion-show models, sitting nearby, shook their heads and predicted that bobbed hair is here; to stay. Twenty years ago, when'women were slaves to styles men like Kozlay had the power to make or end fashions by. a word. It is different today, with women doing their own thinking. Style au- thorities, trying to bring. back. the long skirt, have found this out. i Bobbed hair is sanitary, sensible and comfort- able. Those three words are the regulators of modern feminine styles. ; VACATIONS Passenger packets will-be started again on the old Erie Canal, for people who want a lazy, slow- moving vacation. When the Erie Canal was opened in 1825, its boats—hauled by plodding mules that walked along the. bank-were considered fast. 'They cut to 10 days the trip between Buffalo and New York, formerly requiring six weeks by stagecoach. A few.days ago the Santa Maria, giant air cruiser, flew from Cuba to New York in 17 hours at 82 miles an hour. We move faster in modern times, but do we enjoy our trips as much? Sip- ping mint juleps'on the Robert E. Lee was not so bad.. : s iN ug ‘ BLIND-TIGERS A Chicago reporter, trying to convince Pussy- foot Johnson that prohibition is a joke, says: “I can show, you 500 places right here in the heart of Chicago where you can buy a drink as easily as you could in the old days.” Pussyfoot answers: “There were 7500 in. the old days, so things must be somewhat better than they. were.” ; In a desert, a small pond looks as big as a lake. Incidentally, Pussyfoot and the reporter comb- ed Chicago for two and a half, hours, in a taxi, and found only one place where they could buy suits. They did more than find, they MADE their | whiskey. Exaggeration is a national trait. EDITORIAL REVIEW ; Comments reproduced in this) column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of importart issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. THE RUSSO-GERMAN TREATY The signing of the Russo-German treaty will assist him (Mr. Lloyd George) in his work of sub- stituting a concert for the present military dic- tatorship. Hitherto the supreme council has sys- tematically talked and behaved as if Germany were a criminal whose destiny the Allies had the moral right to dictate without asking for the con- sent of the German people. It has also behaved as if the Russian government was an outlaw. which the rest of Europe had a right to exterminate, no matter whether the Russian, people did or did not agree with the condemnation. But Germany and Russia are the two most populous and latently powerful nations of Europe; and if their govern- ments were-.to be treated as criminals and out- ‘laws, the project of organizing a European concert became a fantastic, absurdity. The first step in the direction of a concert was consequently to abandon the policy of ostracism and to invite them to a conference in which they would sit at least | nominally, as the equals of the victors in the war. | The next equally indispensable step was some as- sertion of independence and self-respect on their nart, some unequivocal testimony-of their refusal to be treated.any longer as nations without rights, | some indication that they could put forward and} back up a policy of their own. It was this step | which the German and Russian governments took | ¥eity league, and a’ SPEAKING OF FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS , CH Wy Va Ie YS WA Q a | MANDAN NEWS | | Mandan to Have ' Baseball League At least a five club baseball league Will get under way in the city of Man- dan within the next two weeks as he result of the meeting of lodge and organization representatives . held Tuesday evening at“the Commercial club. & The Knights of Columbus, .Knights of Pythias, Catholic Order of Fores- ters, Ancient ‘Order of Upited Work- men and the State Training Schoot formally agreed ‘to enter Clubs and an effort will be made-o secure another team from the members'of the Broth. erhood of Railroad Employees or trom the Masonic order.

PROPOSES TAX ON MOTOR VEHICLES IN SWEDEN (Stockholm, May 18.—Motor traffic in Sweden has now become go. general and the consequent deterioration of highways so great that the Minister of Finance has submitted a bill to the Riksdag proposing a tax on all motor-driven vehicivs. Tire ill proposes that a tax of 10 kronor (equivalent to about $2.10) be levied on a motorcycle without side car; 20 kronor on motorcycle with side car; eight kronor for every 100 kilos (2.20 pounds each) of weight of ordinary motor cars with rubber tires; 50 kronor per 100 kilos for cars and trucks with non-rubber tires. The proposed tax on automobiles ‘vill net the state about 5,900,009 -yonor (about $1,077,000)’ annually, all >f which will be devoted to road main- ‘tenance. Towns and cities will re , 7eive one-fourth of the money thus col- ‘ected and the rest will go to rural communities. DID HIM MORE GOOD.
