Ability Counts .

A considerable rortion of the youth of the

land still believes that "pull counts more than ability, and that in the face of many convincing proofs to the contrary. The latest came from Chicago a few days ago. F. Edson White, says a news dispatch, has been appointed to be president of the Armour and company, one of the greatest meat packing concerns in the world. Mr. White's name first appeared on the payroll of Armour and Co., in 1895, as a car checker, receiving $18 weekly. His job in the plant consisted in counting cars. Within a year and a half he had become manager of the Armour sheep department. No one in the" Armour company was responsible for his entrance. He came to Chicago from

San Francisco to apply for a job. His first promotion was the result of work well done. Ten

years after his name was added to the payroll,!

Mr. White was made assistant to one of the vicepresidents. In 1912, he was elected a director of the company; two years later he became a vicepresident; now he is president. The significance of his promotion takes on new luster if one recalls that this is the first time since Armour and Co., was founded in 1862 that no member of the Armour family has presided in 'the president's chair. "Little things done well" is the secret of his

success, Mr. White said. . He did not wait for

some one to pull him into position, but he pushed

himself into the highest executive position of

one of the world's most important industries by

sheer ability and hard work.

Great industries do not pick men because they are favorites or have connections. Efficiency is demanded of each personal factor in the organization. Business that is big could not grow if it were built on a basis of indifference to ability. It expands because it rewards the faithful and efficient member of its organization. Large affairs cannot profitably be entrusted to men of small minds. , For that reason big men are selected for big tasks, irrespective of their family connections or other affiliations. Results count and result getters are the ones who reap the rewards. Armour and Co., chose a man whose record showed achievement.

THE TASK OF HAPPINESS By George Matthew Adams

"Two men looked oat from prison bars; One saw mud, the other stars." Just so far as is possible we should all become artists in happiness. It Is a task quite a3 exacting and as difficult as the art of painting or of music with the same requisite, that we must be born with a talent for it. Happiness blooms fn fertile soil. It may be soil in which the flowers of sadness and the thistles of disappointment and despair have often grown tall. But where this thing of happiness is made, to grow, its pungent odors and exquisite beauties east their spell over all. So that happiness does indeed become a task but one which floods the soul with health and spurs every faculty of the mind and body to the best achievement. Beyond, and far above the mud of failure, are always to be found the stars of happiness! What a wealth of beauty Is hourly passed by in this workaday world. There are those who daily wade through the richness of happiness, not knowing, and complaining that life is not worth the living All you have to do is to reach out a little, work a little, see a little, serve a little, sing a little, bear a little, feel a little, love a little and behold a tiny plant of happiness is born to the light of heaven right where you are. Then your task begins. Will you be very happy or remain merely passingly content? rf Cirged in that restless frame of yours, just remember that when you look for the stars, you must look up! Happiness is looking up.

No. S7 The New Rising Match Box Here ia an improvement over an older trick, which ia very deceptive. A match box is laid on the palm of the left hand (figure 1). At command it slowly rises to an upright position. The trick is accomplished by opening the drawer of the box very slowly and pinching in a bit of the flesh at the base of the fingers (figure 2). The match box will then lay flat on the left palm, but by slowly and imperceptibly straightening the left fingers, it iril rise to an upright position.

GEOFFREY DAWSON Geoffrey Dawson, who it is reportedd will probably be the new editor of the London Times, succeeding H. YVickham Steed, who is retiring, Is

well known in journalistic circles as Geoffrey Robinson. He changed his name to Dawson by royal license in 1917 upon succeeding to a landed esstate in Yorkshire. Dawson was at

one time the righthand man of the late Lord Northcliffe on the Times editorial staff. A difference of opin

io v;-o-v ion between them

on the policy of the paper is reported to have been the causeof Dawson handing in his resignation. He was writh the Times from 1912 to 1919, and previous to his career there he was editor of the Johannesburg Star. Dawson was born in 1874. He was

educated at Eton and Magdalen college, Oxford. Shortly after leaving college he became a clerk in the colon

ial office and from 1901 to 190a he

was private secretary to Lord Milner in South Africa. He married the youngest daughter of the Hon. Sir Arthur Lawley in 1919.

After Dinner Stories

Representative Fordney said in a temperance address in Saginaw: "Anti-prohibitionists are at their wits' end w.hen they argue against prohibition. 'What silly anl illogical things they say! "The late earl of Craven, who married our Miss Bradley Martin, once argued with Pussyfoot Johnson that great multitudes of saloons, cafes and other drinking facilities didn't increase drunkenness. This was the poor earl's knockdown argument: "'I've got a castle in the country,' he 'said to Pussyfoot, and this castle has got 200 bedroom's. Well, do you

think I do any more sleeping there than elsewhere?" Los Angeles Times.

Jack Mahon, the dramatic critic, tells of a stormy Celt who was having a bad day after the night before. As he was leaving for home, he said: "If my wife hasn't dinner ready she is going to get the wqrst bawling out she ever got. And if it is ready, I'm not going to eat a thing." Atlanta Constitution.

THE POET I read an ode by Seacook-Sage it is the proper thing to read him; his works just now are all the rage, and wild applause the highbrows feed right to left and down the middle; I read that epic to and from, from right to left and down the middle.

Br FREDERICK J. HASK1V WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 8. Strikers do not use ip their savings bank accounts while on strike; in many instances they increase them. This surprising fact is said to have been revealed by some recent studies made by statisticians of the Federal Reserve banking system, based on data gathered from savings and other banks in regions calculated to reflect economic effects of labor walk-outs. The conclusions reached indicate that if strikes were to continue long some savings accounts would be used up and closed out while others, probably a majority, would increase as the result of the finding of new work by

the strikers. The fundamental fact discovered by the inquiry is that many American workmen have the saving habit thoroughly ingrained in them and that they are as much determined to save in hard times as in good. An interest nig and important fact revealed is that savings do not measurably increase during periods of high wages.

The American workman appears to

have set for himself a definite rate of saving. In times of strikes or other adversity he manages to keep up this rate; conversely, in times of high wages when it is easy to maintain his savings rate, he does not add to it but feels free to spend the surplus. High wages then, serve to increase the personal expenses of workers rather than to increase their savings. The coal strike of the past summer furnished an excellent opportunity for study of the effects produced on savings accounts. This strike lasted five and one half months. There would be good reason to believe that so protracted a suspension of normal employment would wipe out the savings of many previous years. However,

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

Nightly meetings were being held this week, which was known as prayer week, in many of the churches of the city. Rev. Dr. Scott Hershey, a lecturer and minister of Newcastle, Pa., preached at the First Presbyterian church. The following day he spoke at the high school chapel.

district are located a large number of mines, show a surprisingly slight reduction of savings. Ninety-seven banks in the anthracite coal region showed a reduction ofonly 5.2 per cent in savings. Fifty-three banks in a typical bituminous section showed a decline of 3.1 per cent. The railroad shopmen's strike -began July 1. Railroad men are not frequently found living in concentrated communities. They live at various places along the lines on which they are employed and fre

quently change their residences. It Is rather difficult, therefore, to get any figures on a large scale. Altoona, Pa.,

however, is preponderantly a railroad

town. The great shops there employ thousands of the very type of workers who joined- the strike. Figures are

not available for the whole duration of the strike but for the month of July

the decline in savings deposits was only seven-tenths of one per cent. Textile Workers Increased Savings So much for savings declines, however slight. The New England textilo strike which began in January 1922 and continued intermittently, rising and falling in intensity in various cities throughout the spring and a large part of the summer, affected many thousands of workers. A group of great savings institutions in the very cities chiefly affected actually showed an increase in savings deposits during the strike period. They rose from $94,751,000 on January 1, 192:?, when the strike began to 97,604,000 on September 1 when it was practi cally ended. Manchester, N. IT., was the city where the strike was most protracted and where it affected a greater proportion of the entire population. Yet savings deposits increased 0.13 ppr cent in the seven months period ended with August 31. Savings in four other

textile cities of New England, affected by the strike, increased 4.2 per cent during the suspension. Early in 1919 there were seven strikes going on simultaneously in New York city. They involved about 250,000 workers. During Ihe period the savings increased nearly 2 per cent. At the end of three months these strikes were settled, with the exception of one involving some 50,000 persons, and during the period covered by that strike savings increased 3.3 per cent. In the last quarter of 1919 there were six strikes in

volving some 123,000 workers. With the Christmas season coining on top of unemployment, savings decreased 0.4 per cent. The savings banks have come to regard big strikes not as threatening the existing acounts but merely as slowing up additional savings. The

savings loss is not actual but potential. Had it not been for the strikes, more money would have been put in the savings banks, but the bankers have come through experience to a realization that a strike does ' not mean that very much money will be drawn out.

Tradesmen in cities like Scranton which is a community given over aS ASPIRIN

most wholly to the anthracite coal

mining industry, or Altoona, which is

a railroad town, say that a strike af

fects retail trade severely. The standard of living of the strikers drops abruptly. They stop buying as soon as the strike is called. Practically nothing but food is' purchased until the strike i3 over. This means that millions in the aggregate are lost to the dealers, but it is the dealers who lose and not the banks. The big -unions pay strike benefits but these are invariably so small as to fall short of supporting a family.

They are but a drop in the backet when thousands are out.

The general prosperity of the tlms-j

has much to do with the ease witi which strikers get along. If a strike occurs in a period when business iz active, many other Jobs are open to

the striker and he takes them. Strike: usually do occur in prosperous periods. Employers are making good

profits in good times and the workers demand that they share through the

medium of wage increases. If these

are refused, they strike. Competition is keen and there are employers ii

other lines willing to hire, almost any

men they can get

In the mining industry there ia still

another outlet for the striker's e:-

forts. Most mines are located in

rural communities. The miner fre-

quently has a little farm, or, at least, truck garden. When the strike comes.

he devotes his time to increasing his

farm production.

During the past summer, the coal

miners made many noticeable im

provements on their small farms in the neighborhood of the mouths of mines. Buildings were repaired and painted and the acres brought to a high state of cultivation. Odd jobs at gardening for others, painting, carpentering, and many other kinds of work bring in a little cash. There are many instances in which strikers have found other jobs so congenial that they do not go back to the ones they quit. The one outstanding thought which seems to stick in the mind, of the striking worker is that he must keep his savings account unimpaired an;!,

if possible, add to it. Old age and infirmity appear to be more frightful bugbears to the striker than the immediate lack of work and ready income. With health and vigot, he knows he can work if he will, but he dreads the time when, no matter how much work may be offered, he will be too old to wield the pick or tend the loom.
