In Business r*, j — Chicago, Nov. 25.—The man who jjfiares to tell his mother-in-law i;what he thinks of her and deals •Jarmly with his wife’s demand for a new fur coat, has the best chance 3 .pf-business success, Dr. Ttobert N. c'MeMurry believes. :,;,r,‘Tn other words,” Dr. McMurry Bald as he scanned the results of r,surveys of some 14,000 successful ^ an,d unsuccessful workers in vart. ious lines, “the man Who wears the 0 pants in his own family stands the TSbest chance of getting some place | ,in his chosen work.” ^ '.Dr. McMurry, formerly of the University of Chicago faculty, •made his surveys of the reiation;;ship between domestic life and ■ business success at the behest of JiSt .group of employers who wanted find out why some of their hworkers failed and others suc<icfeeds.” -4r< “Whether a man has a nagging, • jcomplaining wife,” Dr. McMurry esaiid. “is not so important as his 1 attitude toward her. If she dominates him, he usually is not much of a business success.” Cites One Example :There is the wife, Dr. McMurry ■'‘pointed out, Who tells little amusHhg (to her) aricedotes about her ^husband’s shortcomings. The man * f Who submits to such humiliation Lis’ usually doomed to a mediocre (position in the business world. On - the other hand, the man who can make his wife understand her re. ■ Cftai won’t be tolerated, is already - Oh the first rung of the ladder to %ufecess. “The man who lets his mother-in-law decide what kind of a house the family will live in and where It'shall be located,” Dr. McMuiTy ifeid, “is a bad employment risk, so is the man who takes a job 'be' cause his mother-in-law or other ' -laws convinced him it was the b he ought to have. “On the other side of the picture, you find the man who wrecks his marriage and his work because he demands that his wife fill a dozen roles. Discusses the ''Leaner” “Everybody is familiar with the ‘leaner.’ This man has always leaned on someone. He leaned on his mother as a boy and he looks to his wife for protection even, though he is grown up and should be protecting her.” The man wh« depends on his wife to discipline him will never be president of file company, Dr. McMurry predicted. “Some men go swimming or golfing, if it is a nioe day,” he said, “no matter how much work .they have to do. This kind of man .■looks to his wife to be a stern ^parent to him. He nas never ^earned to discipline himself. If there is no one to make him do his work, he won’t do it.” , Dr. McMurry, who estimated that 20 per cent of the employable ^pulation suffers from some maladjustment which makes them bad employment risks, said personality contributed more than any other '‘single factor to a man’s success or failure in his work. “ The man who is well adjusted especially in his domestic life,” he said, “is likely to succeed in his work, even though his ability is oply average, than the brilliant uian who has the flighty temperament of a prima donna!” V*'. “O — Personnel Head 4 Unable to Type No. 1 Secretary - pi Toronto, Ont. — Beauty and clothes play an important role in : the make up of a “perfect secre--.tgry,” Miss Mary MacMahon, director of employment for a large co.mpany here, believes, f i :Miss MacMahon was asked for ;her opinion after it was disclosed that several Toronto employers , have left their secretaries sums of money ranging up to $100,000 when they died. .-'..“What is a perfect secretary,” she was asked. “She must have intelligence, en- . thusiasm and good judgment,” she replied. “She must be particular about details.

ROYALTY GUARDS TO BE MOUNTIES

Ottawa.—Responsibility for the safety of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth during their Canadian tour early next summer, will rest with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. A special detail already has been selected to lay the ground-work of a plan which will guard against any possibility of harm coming to the royal visitors while in the do-

minion.

The greatest concern of the police is not revolutionaries or radi-i cals but persons of unsound mind who might be nursing fancied grievances. Past experience has proved that the infrequent attempts to harm British royalty, have, in the majority of cases, originated from such a source. To guard against any possibility of that happening in Canada, the R.C.M.P. in cooperation with local and provincial police throughout the dominion, are compiling a complete list of the mentally unbalanced not confined in institutions. While the Royal party is in Can-: ada a strict watch will be kept on every person listed with the department. Special instructions also have been issued to immigration and customs officials along the international boundary line. Restrictions will not be tightened, as a large influx of visitors is ‘expected from the United States, but an especially rigid questioning will be given visitors entering the dominion at border points. YEGGSOUTWIT SCOTLAND YARD

London.—The theft of 10 pounds of high explosive and a hundred detonators from quarries at Sevenoaks, Kent, has intensified Scot-: land Yard’s efforts to track down! the “gelignite gang” of safe-break-j ers. . j The gang is a six-handed one—\ all highly specialized. Its chief isj between 50 and 60 years old—grayhaired, benevolent-looking, whose, clothes give him the appearance of a respectable business 'rahii. He is known as “the guv’nof” to his associates, lives in a large detached house in a London suburb. It is “the guv’uor” who decides where and when a safe is 'to be attacked, after he has completed his survey of the office or shop. He draws plans like a skilled draftsman. and these are rigidly followed. Only on the night when the safe-breakers set out are they allowed to study these plans. Everything must be committed to memory; nothing is carried by the men which might set Scotland Yard on the trail of the master

mind.

“The guv’nor” is first to arrive at the scene of the robbery. He carries a small case in which are skeleton keys, a small but exceedingly powerful electric Hrill, black leather gloves, dark glasses, and a torch. The gelignite to blow open the safe “the guv’nor” has in his vest pocket. It is the thickness of an ordinary lead pencil, and no more than two inches in length. It is wrapped in oiled silk, with an outer covering of cotton wool. The gang work strictly to a time schedule. Hardly has “the guvhior” opened the outer door when the others arrive—in a car. In it are blankets and sawdust, to deaden the sound of the drill and the noise of the explosion. As soon as these have been taken inside “the guv’nor” departs; his work is finished until next morning, when he returns to collect the safe-breaking tools. His men await him behind the locked doors. Scotland Yard have received information that the gang is enter ing on the third phase of its safe blowing exploits. The first war confined to postoffices, and the second to the safes of underground stations. Now the gang is said to be turning its attention to the bigger cinemas and large country houses where people are known to store valuables in small safes.

Brussels, Nov. 25.—The war on j drunkenness is to be carried a stage farther in Belgium with the j probable institution of a system to I restrict the sale of spirits. The cabinet has drafted a law which is expected to be approved by Parliament which will radically alter the existing Vandervelde law. To discourage workers from drinking, licenses would be refused to bars near factories and a weekly dry day, on which the sale of spirits will be forbidden, would be instituted under this proposed law. It is expected that this generally would be on a Saturday, as that is pay day for most workers. However, the actual day would be left to local authorities to decide. / i In Belgium spirits are classified as liquors with more than 18 per ceilt alcdhol. Beers, wines and other drinks under 18 per cent alcoholic content as sold freely. Would Lessen Hours ''The sale of spirits would be permitted only during 7 1-2 hours a day, probably between noon and 3 ! in the afternoon, and 7:30 p. m. and midnight. The number-of licenses would be restricted to one for every 1,000 inhabitants in towns of 100,000 population or more; one for every 750 persons in towns with populations from 50,000 to 100,000; one; for every 600 persons in towns between 20,000 and 50,000, and one for every 500 in all other towns. Any infringement of the law would be punished by imposition of heavy fines. The Vandervelde law, named after its author, was passed in 1919. It forbids the sale of spirits in coffee-houses, but permits their purchase in spirit shops in quantities of not less than 2 liters. Cof-fee-house keepers are forbidden to have spirits on the premises, even; in private rooms for their own

use.

Private Clubs Evade Law This law resulted in the springing up of hundreds of clubs for sale of spirits, as the law could 'Only be enforced against infringements in public places. Barbers, grocers and vegetable dealers converted private rooms attached to their shops into bars and sold spirits without interfer-j enee from the law. Government agents could only investigate public places. Whenever they attempted to check the growth of clubs they were refused admission on the grounds that the places were private. With approximately 200,000 clubs established, there was no lessening in drunkenness. Goffee-house proprietors who infringed upon the regulations and sold spirits were, punished to the utmost, even to the extent of having their estab-i lishments closed. Drinking, however, did not seem to abate. Dissatisfaction with the operation of the Vandervelde law has resulted after years of discussion in the drafting of the new law by the cabinet of Paul Henri Spaak. ) —— o —— RABBITS ONLY GAME TO BE SOLD LEGALLY

TOYS IN GERMANY GO ‘SNOW WM'ITE,’ FATHERLAND’S OWN

Attention of hunters and others was called today by Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of Conservation, to a provision in the state laws which prohibits the sale or purchase of quail, pheasant and Hungarian partridge. The statute does not apply to rabbits. The regulation concerning the sale of game birds provides: ‘Tt shall be unlawful for any person to sell or offer to sell, buy or offer to buy at any time in this state, any quail, prairie chicken, Hungarian partridge, pheasant, ruffed grouse, chuker partridge or wild turkey, whether taken in this state or some other state and brought into this state, except as hereinafter provided. The term sale shall include serving the same as a part of a meal by any hotel, restaurant, boardinghouse or eatiing house keeper, but such restaurnant, hotel, boarding house or eatinghouse keeper may prepare and serve during the open season to a guest, patron or hoarder and his family any of the above mentioned game lawfully taken by such guest, patron or boarder during the open season provided tliorc-or in this state. *) OLD AGE PENSINS

German toy designers, however, have not clung closely to the Walt Disney models. Rather they have taken the inspiration from the American artist for what they believe will be a best-seller on next season’s toy market. univeTseseen YIELDING SECRET Rochester, N. Y.—The question —is the universe expanding, or does light get tired and lose energy in its race through space— soon may be answered by Dr. Edwin Hubble, of the Mt. Wilson Observatory in California, scientists here believe. The answer, they said, may be found when the new 200-inch reflector, cast in Doming, N. Y., glass works, is completed. If the universe is expanding, the giant reflector being built on Mt. Palomar, in California, may indicate the type of expansion. The new mirror will collect four times as much light as the 100-ineh Hooker reflector now in use at Mt. Wilson. The light from the distant star galaxies is captured by the reflector on Mt. Wilson and passed through a spectographic lens. The lens breaks up the light into different bands which form the spectrum of the tested star. The light 'from these stars is invariably shifting toward the red end of the spectrum. Such a shift indicates presumably that these galaxies are speeding away from the earth. If the distant nebulae are receding the assumption is that the universe is expanding. But the speeds, about 26,000 miles a second, are so great that many astronomers believe that the expanding universe may he an illusion. “If the loss in energy occurs in the nebulae,” Dr. Hubble said, then, very probably, the red shifts are familiar velocity shifts and the nebulae are all receding. If the loss occurs in space, then the nebulae are sensibly stationary, hut. the light loses energy, by some unknown mechanism, in proportion to the distance it travels the universe.” At the moment Dr. Hubble favors the stationary universe, but results do not rule out the possibility of an expanding one. WESlMAYlAP NEW RESOURCES

San Francisco—With the United States dependent upon importations from all parts of the world of nine of the “stategic mineral supplies” necessary for the carrying on of modern warfare, a campaign has been launched for making the United States self-sufficient in nearly all of these minerals by; the'development of known deposits' that exist in the western states. This development is declared to be all the more necessary at the: present time for the reason that China, major source of tungsten, which is indispensable in the hardening of all iron and steel, is passing into the hands of Japan and Spain, principal world’s source of mercury, is still to embroiled in war to make it certain that America could import enough for its needs in event of war. Eleven States Enlisted The campaign has been undertaken by/a private, non-profit organization whose objective is the development of all resources of the western states. The nine minerals that are indispensable for the manufacture of modern war materials are antimony, chromium, maganese, mercury, mica, nickel, platinum, tin and tungsten. With the exception of mica, the United States is exceedingly poor in the production of these minerals, although deposits of all, with the exception of tin, are said to exist in the western ■states. Metals for Many Uses The minerals or metals are nec essary for the manufacture of all types of guns, ammunition, armor plate, rails, automobiles, machinery of all kinds, virtually all electrical equipment, fcutlery, structural steel, tools and implements, hardware, tinware and building mater-

ial.

At present the United States is dependent on importations from all parts of the world. The bulk of antimony comes from Mexico, China and South America; sheet mica from British India and also Madagascar; tin, from the East Indies; nickel, platinum and chromium from Great Britain; tungsten from China and mercury from Spain. o — DINOSAUR TOOTH FOUND

Indianapolis, Nov. 25 — Among the interesting bits of little4cnown Indiana history (to be included In the Indiana State Guide, now being written by the Federal Writers’ Project of the WPA, is the fact that a member of the Boston Tea .party is buried in a small cemetery in Elkhart county. One of only two members of thei famous tea party bui'ied west 'Of* the Allegheny mountains, the grave of William Tuffs is situated in the Bonneyville cemetery in York township.

The purpose of this article is to outline a few methods of immunization used in protecting infants and young children against the dangers of prevalent diseases in childhood. It is -important at this time of the year, (namely, at the opening of school, that each parent consider this subject. During the first six months of life, a breastfed child usually receives some measure of protection from the; 'mother’s milk, against these dis-j eases. When-the infant is weaned, this protection is readily lost and the child becomes more «uscept-j ible to infection. Beginning with about the sixth, month of life, infants should be protected against acute infectious! diseases by immunization. The immunization is accomplished by giving one or more doses of im-; munizing agent, which consists ofj the killed organisms causing thel disease, or a modified toxin or| virus '(smallpox), produced by the' organism. The iprophylaxis or protective agent is generally given by injection into the loose tissue oil the body where it causes the least;

disturbance.

Since the greater prevalence of the diseases 'Of childhood occurs during the preschool age, it is advisable to begin active immunization at six months of age and give an active immunity or protection to the -child. -During these early years, young children' probably continue to have a certain degree of immunity which was acquired from the mother, and therefore experience less disturbance from the injections than when given to older children. For this reason physicians advise that ’immunization procedures be done during the first year of the child’s life. Immunizations may be carried out in any order, or may be arranged at the discretion of the physician. It is suggested that to immunize first against those diseases which are responsible for the greater number of illnesses and serious complications in infants and younger children. Two of the most important diseases to receive the early consid-l eration are smallpox and diphtheria. For details of these pre-, ventable diseases, consult your family physician.
