" "Hie two words, gambling- and speculation, are
not the same in meaning. Gambling means to
take an actioji based bri chance. Speculation
means to act 'in accordance with a carefully thought, out lan, to eliminate or minimize risk
and chance; ,.".
x Apply these definitions -to operations in the "stock market. The gambler, in effect says: "The market can' only go in one of two ways, up or down." So, whether he buys or sells short, the gambling operator is simply betting stocks will go up or down.' Naturally, the gambler causes "himself to lose and be wiped out because he does
trade movements and that decisively influence
the prices of stocks.
The speculator studies both these trade movements and the records of the individual corpora
tions whose stocks he is planning to buy. He studies the trade statistics that tell whether the
stock market is in a rising or falling tendency, He only buys stocks of corporations he has thor
oughly investigated. He buys during a depres
sion in business when stocks are low and sells during the following boom when stocks are high. He pays outright for his stocks, knowing that
to buy on a margin simply reintroduces the ele
ment, of gambling. The margin can easily be
wiped out by a minor reaction. Stocks paid for
in full are never endangered by mere movements
of market prices.
The gambler is trying to get something for
nothing. He is after money, for money's sake
and not for the sake of service. The speculator, knowingly or unknowingly,
performs a service to society. When the gamb
ling spirit is raging and prices are being foolishly driven higher and higher, he sells. The sales, of the speculator serve as a brake to still
higher prices. The presence of selling will cool the gambling ardor , better than ; all ." the well
meant advice in the world. It is concrete. . Advice is abstract, i ' .
. . In a ' depression , when everyone is blue and discouraged, the speculator alone has "retained his good judgment and optimism, He knows
human nature is either up or down and that stock market prices are but another reflection of the wave-like motion of - human thoughts and emotions. - So he buys, concretely backing up his optimism that a change for the better is coming.
He buys when no one else will buy, providing
the service of a market for those who, through
fear or necessity, are selling, as well as the serv
ice of optimistic leadership.in his sphere, be that
large or smaii. , . Unthinking people say of the speculator: "Ht is lucky," Everything he touches turns to gold He never loses."' ,
The ' speculator doesn't always ' win, but, thanks to his painstaking 'investigations, studies
and conservative methods, he succeeds in a majority of his operations. Naturally in an aver
age lifetime the profits from such operations are
large.
The gambler, however, always, loses in the long run, whether he starts operating with millions or hundreds of dollars. .- Thus does the law of compensation automatically regulate, reward and penalize according to the principle of serve others as you would be served. '

BEAUTIFUL PAINTING IS AN INSPIRATION By George Matthew Adams
I would much rather be the discoverer of a man than of a new continent. When I was in college, I became fascinated with the most appealing sketches of the West, and Western life, that I had ever seen. They made me want to go right out there where it began, and ended. That was twenty years ago! - Last week I was in San Francisco, and I asked a friend to take me to the studio of that man who had bee in my dreams for so long. I called to mind that his sketches and drawings had appeared les3 and less in the magazines, so I was curious to learn what he was doing now. ' We climbed a-flight of long stairs. The door was open and so we walked right in. There he was at work Maynard Dixon, builder of beauty! ' There was no elegance in that studio. But every inch of it was full of Interest. Lovely old Mexican curios, saddles, cowboy outfits, pieces of old furniture, quaint tho few in number. But most interesting of all the man-artist himself. Tall, thin of face, angular of frame, yet powerful in endurance. And in character, simple in speech and manner, and free of boast. But boiling with enthusiasm for his art! Presently from the side of the room, a canva3 was removed and placed on the stand, fa,ce forward. I gaspedr Oh, such beauty! I felt the warmth of the artist's heart. I was now out on the desert itself. I could see that here was a man who Understood the meanings of that stupendous rock, that sage brush, and the indescribable mist silhouetted against that desert sky of blue. Blue, blue such blue! To myself, I could only exclaim: "So that is what He did, ages and ages ago and Dixon the first to make me FEEL it" This great canvas was but one of about a dozen which the artist is to Bend to New York as the culmination of a quarter of a century of work, privation and faith. That Indian girl, those vast distances, rocks that have borne the travail of perhaps millions of years. Beauty, serenity peace bigness. 1 came away from Maynard Dixon's studio refreshed. I see him still, standing before his masterpiece silent, smiling, confident, glad that he never compromised with his .soul for fame or money happy in his monument to the beauty of the W est. - ' s And I take this small space to tell you of this discovery of genius . and man! .

After Dinner Tricks
No. 844 Water That Sticks The performer holds a glass of water In his band as shown in Figure A. He states that he will tarn the tumbler npxide down without spilling any of the water. Of course, every one wants to see it done. . Holding the tumbler at arm's length, swing the arm In a con.plete revolution, or circle, just as indicated in Figures A, B and C. The sweep of the arm should be made rather rapidly, so that the water will not have time to fall, the force of motion of the tumbler keeping it from spilling. Thus the glass is turned upside down withopt spilling the water. Practice the proper motion with an empty tumbler. Do not put too much wr.iri in the tun-blt r when doing I the trick.

Never Too Wise to Learn Highly Specialized Experts in Agriculture Instruct Scientist-Students in Washington Laboratories.
Br FREDERICK JT. HASKIN WASHINGTON. D. C, Nov. 22 Scientists at the department of agriculture have started back to school for the winter. On certain afternoons when the 4:30 gong rings, 200 workers in this department drop test tubes and calculations and turn their thoughts to higher education. Classes taught by highly specialized experts In agricultural science are being held and the scientist-students gather in appointed laboratories to add new wisdom to their store.

CLARENCE C. DILL Clarence C. Dill of Washington,
sprang one of the election surprises
by beating out Miles Poindexter for a
seat in the United States senate. Dill's
political career started just 'after he was admitted to the bar. He became a deputy prosecuting attorney o f Spokane county and then on the election of Governor Ernest Lister, Dill became his private secretary. Later he was candidate for congress and was elected two successive terms. Dill is one of the
few bachelors in the upper house. He was born in Frederickstown, Knox county, Ohio, in 1884. He worked on
a farm until he was 17. After graduating from Ohio Wesleyan college in 1907 he became a teacher. He taught in the Spokane high school and later became a reporter on the Spokesman Review. He read law in his spare time and was finally admitted to the bar. Dill's tendencies seem to be rather radical and it is said that he will probably be found voting with the labor interests. He lectured on the Plumb plan and on the Chautauqua circuit. Although he was a decided pacifist during the war, he went abroad as head of the congressional committee which went over to study conditions in Europe during the war period. His only known hobby is that of writing numerous letters to his constituents.

ested in going to school you must see the government scientist as he really
is. Too often he has been pictured
as a learned, round shouldered, ab
stracted sort of mechanism, that occassionally climbs down from a labora
tory stool to describe his work in a
government bulletin. A government scientist may have corresponded more or less to this description a few decades back. Nowadays the agricultural scientist looks more like a business man, college pro
fessor, a real estate agent or a states
man.) He is distinctly human, and he may have a sense cf humor. He is just as apt to remember to have his hair cut as any other type of citizen.
You cannot imagine a classroom
filled with ponderous sages with gro
tesque, absent-minded mannerisms
But you can picture a group of keen
minded men, and women, coming to
gether to learn about the latest theor
ies in some branch of their science
as explained by an authority.
This little school of agricultural
science illustrates an interesting tendency in governmental policy. Once, a college degree and the ability to pass the technical civil service examination were regarded as conclusive evidence of a scientist's fitness to hold his government Job for life. In some of the departments a scientist was discouraged from asking for leave of absence in order to go to a university and increase his knowledge of his subject. He was made to feel that he was paid to do particular kind of work and if he did not know everything that he need to know in his position, then he was admitting incompetence and the government had better have a man in his place who knew all about the science in question. In other words, self satisfaction was urg
ed upon government scientists.' Education Never Completed. Now, in the department of agriculture they are being encouraged to leave their work occasionally and get time off to improve themselves. The theory that education is never complete is being put into practice. This school was started only last year, but it has already come to the notice of scientists in different parts of thecountry. Dr. E. D. Ball, assistant secretary of the department, says
that because of these classes and also
because of the higher salary scale now
obtaining, the department now has
less trouble in getting the kind of men that it needs.
"We use 4,000 scientists, the largest
scientific force of any department ot the federal government, outside of the war department," says Dr. Ball.
"But of late years we have had dif
ficulty in getting young men from the universities to take the civil ser
vice examinations. Now, I am getting letters from college students asking
now they should shape their courses in order to enter the department and
have advantage of our post graduate
classes. "We should have the biggest scientific men in America to do the govern
ment's work, and if we can get the big men for leaders the young men
will gladly come for the privilege of
working . and studying with them." That the classes are worth while to the trained scientist Is obvious from the kind of teachers engaged. About one-third of the courses are taught by men of international reputation who come to Washington each week from universities in New York and Baltimore. Other courses are conducted by outstanding experts from the department of agriculture, or from other scientific government bureaus, or institutions such as the National Research Council. There-, are two kinds or courses in this school of science: those that represent post graduate work, and review courses. Credit for the former is being given by a number of standard universities.
The review courses are mainly elementary. A government scientist is apt to to be one of the most up-to-date
men in the country so far as his par
ticular specialty is concerned, but he
may not be so well posted on the work being done in other branches of his
science.
One government employee, an expert in his line, is taking a review
course because he says that when he
was In college, 30 years ago, chemis
try was entirely different from what it is today with new theories and new
laboratory equipment. Besides sclen tlsts, some clerical workers in the de
partment are admitted to the element
ary classes.
Courses in technical agricultural
writing and in elementary writing are
attracting large numbers of students. Writing reports and bulletins on his work is one of the government scien
tist's regular tasks. Library science
and elementary statistics are also popular.
Among the highly technical courses
are such subjects as the chemistry of
colloids and advanced crystallography.
Of the latter class it is said that notj
ov uieu m lue department would oe quallified to enter. This course deals with crystals in vegetable substances and in fats and oils.
Dr. Ball says that these science classes are not a pioneer attempt at education in the government service. West Point and Annapolis represent
the earliest official attempts at educa
tion by the United States govern ment There is the Army College tc which Army officers are detailed for study of problems in tactics and strategy,- and there is the Army Medical School. The Army and scientific bureaus

such as the Coast and Geodetic Survey detail men to graduate Institutions to increase their professional efficiency. The War and Navy Departments had 37 men studying at one school, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a year ago. The Eureau of Standards has had for some years a school similar to that now organized at the department of agriculture. Courses in technical subjects held after working hours are taught by experts of the Bureau, and the students finance the classes. The agricultural school is also financed by the Btudents. It is in no way supported by the government.
The project is not intended to com pete with established schools of Washington, though the national capital has, few post graduate courses of interest to agricultural scientists. The airi. in organizing the school was to stimulate the scientists to greater Interest in continuing 4heir education..
