State and County Newspaper) YOUNG MEN'S CHANCES He is quite an ambitious, energetic young man, but e’s somewhat discouraged. Opportunity, he thinks, $ not now what it used to be. “When my father was a boy,” he says, “a young aan had all kinds of chances. He could start out in usiness for himself. Or he could get in with some mall organization, help it grow and become a partner a it in a few years. But now there aren't any small wusinesses. And the big ones are so big that you could pend your whole life in one of ’em and never be oticed.” There is no denying that the small business has had rocky time of it lately. The tendency is, inescapably, oward bigness, Mergers and combinations are con- olidating the many small firms into a few big ones. t looks as if the day of the small-scale independent usiness man had passed. Likewise, it is perfectly true that the big corpora- ions, such as an ambitious young man might want to nter, number their employes by the thousand. An idividual, it would seem, could easily become hope- sssly submerged. Yet in spite of these thing, a young man about to egin a business career has more opportunity for ad- ancement today than ever before. Consider, for example, one of the biggest concerns 1 the country; the General Motors Corporation. It as a great many factories, each one almost breath- aking in its size. It maintains salesrooms all over 1e world. It buys prodigious quantities of raw ma- srials. It has innumerable subdivisions. Each year . makes more automobiles than there are in all of ngland. Now this tremendous organization does not run auto- tatically. It is run by men. And these men were ot born into their jobs. They won them by proving at they were capable of filling them. A concern the ze of General Motors has one outstanding problem, reater than any problem of sales, prices or supply. 1e problem of finding men big enough to fill its gen- cal offices, ‘What does that mean to a young man entering at the ottom? It means that he will have every chance in 1e world to advance. It means that the men above sim will be constantly looking for signs of ability. It teans that there is no limit to the heights to which # can rise, if he has the right stuff in him. And what is true of General Motors is true of every ther big business concern. Never was there such a 2mand for capable men. Never did ability bring such high price in the market. The ambitious young man today can thank his stars tat he was born into this era of big business. There ever was a time when opportunity was so great as it today. THE THINGS WE IMAGINE Three American women are off for Bagdad on a aest that will certainly be fascinating, even though probably will prove fruitless. They want to find 1e storied palace of Haroun al Raschid; and, in the tocess, they hope to find out who wrote the Arabian ights stories. Maybe it is unkind, in advance of their explorations, » say that their venture probably will fail. There *e certain riddles, bequeathed us by history, that eren’t meant to be solved; and it does seem as if tis Arabian Nights business were one of them. Haroun al Raschid, like King Arthur, Ulysses and ther romantic figures of the past, was very likely » more or less legendary creature. It is more than sasible that old Bagdad never knew a ruler by that ame. Hunting for his palace will be much like tryine » find King Arthur's island vale of Avalon; it will ean looking for a place that never was on the map, _ at never had reality, that never was meant for the tofaning feet of realistic antiquarians. Yet, for all that, the old Arabian and his storied ; lace are quite as real today as most flesh-and-blood wsonages of the old days. More so, in fact; any- " se who can read and can walk to the nearest library n make the acquaintance of both in short order. For hen you invent a man, or a place, you at once make A ages free to come and see. The things we imagine -e nearly always more real and substantial than the sings which actually happen. What boy hasn't strolled quarter-deck with Long John Silver? ‘The truth is that we are not realistic people. We servants of dreams. The shapes that we conjure » in cloudiand are the forces that mold our lives. gen in-our history books this truth is apparent. sorge Washington, for instance, was once a live, hu- an figure; yet we have interwoven into the story of 's life so much legend, so many fanciful tales, that Washington of popular imagination probably would + unrecognizable to Benjamin Franklin, say, or John dams, who knew him in the flesh, And that is not } fact to be regretted, either; for the legendary Wash- n has become gigantic, lordly, an image of the and aspirations of his countrymen. Indies who are hunting Haroun’s palace are, one somewhat like those present-day biographers are trying to “de-bunk” our histories. Their mo- is, very likely, highly praiseworthy; yet there is nero no of beat to and fro changed much. Back in pioneer days in had to dodge the deadly rattler, also. is one who has his. A PROBLEM OF NERVES Dorothy Canfield Fisher, the novelist, told the gradu- ating class of the University of Kansas the other day that one of the chief problems of modern America is a problem of nerves. Our nerves, she said, are only a gencration or two removed from those adjusted to solitude and silence; yet solitude and silence have gone from modern life beyond recall, and it is up to us to adjust our nerves to the new conditions. If we fail we shall make quite a hash of our affairs. Her generation, Mrs. Fisher said, came on the scene just at the close of the pioneer period; and, she con- tinued: “We had neither the tools nor the knowledge to deal with the wholly unexpected phenomenon of evenings with nothing to do, such as our forefathers had never known, and of long, empty Saturday afternoons, and Sundays without two or three strenuous church services, Our generation knew no more what to do with the leisure time offered us by the new organization of society than a Hottentot would kn@w how to get the good out of a box of artist's materials. “We used these golden, priceless minted coins of free hours just about as intelligently as the Hottentot would treat instruments of the higher life. We were all pre- pared for one kind of life and were called without warn- ing to lead and organize another.” Human habits of thought and action are hard to change. We are prone to cling to the old way Yet during the last quarter century conditions of life have undergone tremendous alterations. The scientist and the industrialist have moved faster than the rest of us. They have given us new tools before we were able to use them, The old theory of society held that there should be a wealthy isure clas at the top, poss ing plenty of spare time and trained from infancy in the use of it. Below this class there would be a great mass of work- ers, who would not need to know how to use their leisure, as they would not have any. But in recent years all of this has changed. A carpenter today has as much spare time as a banker had a generation ago. A housewife today has more leisure than her mother ever dreamed of having. In the old days farmers chanted the proverb, “A farmer's work is never done”; today the farmer is finding the proverb a bit out of date. All of this has meant confusion. We have wasted much of our leisure. Our nerves have become slightly frayed. The job that confronts us now, as Mrs. Fisher says, is one of adjustment. We must learn how to use our spare time, If we fail it will prove a curse, MORE TO WORRY ABOUT Sometimes it does seem as if we blundering Ameri- cans just can’t do anything right. They are building a beautiful memorial bridge at the national cemetery, Arlington. At one end of the bridge is a bronze plaque with an American eagle in bas-relief. And now comes Lieut.-Col. Thomas J. Dickson, retired army chaplain, to protest that it isn't an American eagle at all. An American eagle, says this officer, always looks to the right. The eagle on the plaque looks to the left. It is, therefore, of all things, a Mexican eagle—and Lieut.-Col. Dickson insists that somebody ought to do something about it right quick. Thus, in our inept way, we seem to have put the national foot in it again. The heartburnings this wry- necked eagle will cause in patriotic breasts are better imagined than described. Yet, for our comfort, we can recall an old bit of scripture: “The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” Which we might apply in this instance as mean- ing that there are better ways to honor our heroic dead than by being ultra-finicky about bronze eagles. Arlington cemetery holds the bodies of many thou- sands of men who gave their lives for a noble ideal— an ideal that we symbolize by a starry, striped flag. We can honor these men with bronze eagles, or we can honor them by seeing to it that this ideal for which they died becomes always a little more shining, a little more beautiful and lofty, for their children and those who come after, We are too fond of raising monuments and then for- getting. We can build bridges and statues until the sun grows old, and embellish them with the most faith- ful copies of the true American eagle ever dreamed of, yet at the same time we can render eternal dis- honor to our heroes if we forget the forces that moved them. Every Teapot Dome episode is an insult to Arling- ton. So is every outburst of mass intolerance; every bit of Cossack-ism at the soft coal mines; every in- fringement on the freedom that is America’s, birth- right; every Thompsonian waving of the flag to cover civic unrighteousness. These are matters far more serious than bronze eagles on marble bridges. Forget the eagle, anyway! It is a minor matter. If we are too particular about trifles we may forget the bigger things, and our heroes at Arlington will be dishonored in sober truth, A VALUABLE BOOK Not long ago a young American woman went to Germany to visit her uncle, a jeweler. He sold jewelry to many Americans and had a little book in which he marked down each sale—article, price, name and ad- dress of purchaser and date. He died, and the young woman took the book home with her. Reaching America, she called on the customs men and showed them the book. They read with interest and began tracing the sales. Most of the purchasers, they found, had smuggled their jewels into the coun- try—an act for which there is a heavy fine. Uncle Sam’s coffers were vastly enriched. And the young woman? The customs regulations give an informer 25 per cent of all fines collected. To date this young woman has realized just $200,000 on her little book; and the end is not yet. We don’t know just what the moral may be. Perhaps it is that in dealing with the customs men you must be very, very careful, A NEW SMELTING PROCESS Often the really important news of the day goes al- most unnoticed. The other day the foreign information department of the Bankers Trust Company, New York, issued a bulletin saying that a new smelting process has been discovered in Great Britain that, its inventor says, will so reduce the cost of making iron as to rev- olutionize the iron and steel industry in a few years. *The process, according to its inventor, will cut the cost of making iron and steel in half. One result, it is predicted, may be that England will be able to stop importing iron and steel and make all she needs at home. It may be, of ccurse, that this new process will de- velop some flaw or other that will prevent it from being effective. But if it is all that it is claimed to be, this little bulletin is one of the most significant bits of news that has appeared in a jong, long time.

By this time nearly. everyone in town has seen your photograph in the paper, and they’re quite thrilled over it. They all say you have be- come much smarter and more stylish since you are living in the city, and that you wear your clothes with an air, T have taken no issue, but I*main- stain that you always did look well, even when you lived in a little town, and wore home-made clothes, What pleased me most about it was the fact that Alan was so proud of you, and that he really approved of your stunt and thought you were helping him. : It doesn’t necessarily imply, my dear, that a man is a social climb- er just because he likes to have his wife identified with the best and established people in a community. You see, a man has to make a place for himself in business world, and he has to make it a solid and substantial thing. And running the risk of being called old-fashioned, I will say that I think a woman has an obligation to establish herself in the same way. You may not want to be a so- ciety queen, and I hope you don’t, but at the same time, you want to be welcomed in the best society. Social climbing is digusting, and I should hate to feel that you had any of the instincts of a climber, but since you must have affiliati friends, it seems to me wise to make them among Repple that your hus- band respects and approves of. The difference between the Bo- hemian society, which seemed to attract you so strongly at first, and the more established order is largely the difference between stability and a constantly changing circle.

South America!” they revolve. You probably will accuse me now of lecturing you, but I have not meant to do so. First and foremost, T always want you to be happy and if I thought you and Alan were na- tural “Bohemians” I never should try to change you, but I know you are not. And even now, unless I am mistaken, you are becoming a little tired of them.- The picture of the coat you sent me suits me exactly, and I am cut- ting one as nearly like it as I can. The sleeves are something of a problem, but everything else about it is simple. Thank you so much, my dear. Devotedly, MO!

Again he bought a cigaret casé, so his story goes, re- quested that it be charged and got away with it. If he used his ‘own name, this may so. For his is not exactly an unknown moniker in this village. But our personal advice to visitors and strangers is—don’t try it! We've seen many a man bounced out on his ear for trying to “cuff” a small lunch check. On one or two occasions we have had minor arguments over such matters when @ manager or head waiter of our acquaintance happened to be ab- sent. We've been stopped. at the window of a bank where for years we've done business; and on one oc- casion had to be identified by the office boy—a truly embarrassing circumstance, We've never found Manhattan bursting with anxiety to be broad- minded on such occasions. Almost any city in America where we have tossed our hat seemed more willing to take our word for things. A clothing store in Paris accepted our check on an American bank, but I've never found a New York store that would let you carry anything out of the place unless a “look-see” man had telephoned the bank and asked A.| for personal identification.

I am told that he stages “hat” tournaments with John Held, Jr, the comic artist, who dwells among his cows and kennels in West- port, Conn. The game consists of putting a hat upon the floor, sitting down in a chair five feet from the hat and taking out a deck of cards, The cards are dealt from the right knee, the idea being to put as many as possible in the hat.
