Beyond that mark we cannot go with our pres. iit facilities but 1 these can be quickly increased if the! demand justifies. “While we feel that there will be a ready market for this huge volume! of cars and trucks they will be produced only if they can be absorbed J i i a natural way. We do not want 1 in any way to crowd dealers or over-1 load them. The dealers h wever seem to feel that thi- great volume will not! be difficult to handle.” Mr. Grant seemed highly enthusi-a.-tice in his forecast for continued 1 prosperity. Everywhere he traveled, he said, indication.- pointed to a year of unusual promise. MONIES AT THE VONUASTI.E Joan Crawford play- the role made famou- by the great Sarah Bernhar .t in “Dream of Love,” which will be tit th" \ o; caltle Theatre Sunday and Monday as a new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer feature. The screen presentation is an adaptation of “Adrienne Lecouvreur,” famous old French play that was used by Bernhardt a- a starring vehicle for many seasons. Fred Niblo directed the modernized ver.-ion from Dorothy Farnum’s scenario. In the film ver.-ion the setting is laid in a mythical and picturesque Balkan kingdom. It tells of the love romance between a wandering gypsymaid and the royal heir to the throne. They meet at a circus comical, and after a night of love are parted by the inexorable law which says that it member of royalty cannot wed a commoner. How the statu- of each undergoes a change, how they rise to heights of diamatic passion and sacri- ] fice makes a play of unusual power |
and charm.
Miss Crawford is featured with] Nils Astlu-r in the brilliant film offer- j ing and the elaborate supporting cast! includes Aileon Pringle, Carmel | Myers, Warner Oland, and many oth-i
ers of note.

“Why is it,” Pupin asked bis mother, “that we can signal this way? Why is it the sound can he heard through the ground, but not through the air? Why is it the signals can be heard in the pasture land so much better than in the plowed fields?” The boy’s mother could not answer his questions, nor could the village teacher.

So a penniless Immigrant hoy from Serbia at the age of fifteen landed In New York in 1874 and, years later, having worked his way through Columbia University, concentrated the wonder and simplicity of his mind upon the problem of sound, which had puzzled him as a shepherd boy. The results of his thinking—what lie has accomplished for the long distance telephone and for radio communication by his Inventions—are known the world over. “If during the past twenty-two years this company had been compelled to do without one invention of Michael Pupin.” an official of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company once said, “and yet give the same service It is giving today It would have had to spend at least 4100,000,000 more than it has ex-
pended."
These Inventions. In which millions of dollars of capital have been Invested. were the result of the thinking of a mere country lad who had the simplicity to wonder, the determination to know and the power to apply what
he learned.
Stimulating the Imagination and thinking is the greatest purpose of education. AVhat American business needs more than anything else Is young men and women to think—individuals who are not mentally anchored to tradition, who do not merely appropriate other people's Ideas, but who are hard, purposeful thinkers. Independent and unprejudiced, with thtability to concentrate and strike straight for the heart of a problem. Business Needs Falk Who Think America has astounded the world by Its readiness In casting aside traditional viewpoints, disregarding traditional difficulties and pioneering new shortcut formulas In the realm of business. Business Is undergoing
epochal changes.
Business problems are crowding In upon us so rapidly that the executive knows not where to look for adequate help or relief. With the enormous Increase In size and Intricacy of business affairs the problems have become so complicated and the mass of information necessary to their solution so great that the “days are not long enough.” The demand for managerial and executive ability la rushing ahead —the opportunity for young men and women who have the professional training and who develop genuine thinking power is greater than ever. All business feels the same crying need for the men who see clearly and

Let us consider briefly the five essentials of a sound thinker. If I were looking for a young man of exceptional promise 1 should hope, first, to tlr.rt In him the simplicity to wonder.

thing that had been done a certain way for a long time might not be wrong. Although the history of America’s progress from Its very discovery to the present time has shown the value of an Inquiring mind, there fls still an Inevitable tendency In most men to accept In a docile manner the opinions, methods, supposes! facts, procedures and processes of the past.

preliensive understanding of all the factors involved in a problem. It has been said that most problems answer themselves when the facts have been gathered. A well known student and teacher of business describes the method of attacking a problem us tear ing It down, reassembling the problem and drawing the conclusion There can be nothing but guess work or Intuition unless the unknown quantities are discovered. As a fourth essentia! sound thinking requires the capacity to generalize. How often we have seen men sweating and confused before a mass of details which they were utterly unable to classify and crystallize. We have the problem of sorting out the relevant, attaining a perspective and reaching a conclusion that can be defended against any attack. To certain minds this procedure comes naturally; to o’hers training in the solution of complicated problems points the way out. The Time for Action Fifth among the essentials of sound thinking is the power to apply. A few individuals have minds that travel at random or In circles. Some have minds that even refuse to budge. But there are still others who naturally or through training have minds that can he directed straight through to the practical application of their thoughts. They refuse to compromise or to he thwarted in purpose before definite application of their Ideas has been achieved. It Is possible. I believe, for young people to train themselves to an in qulsltlve attitude, an open mind and the ability to classify and Interpret material step by step from the begin niiig of a problem to Its final solution and application. Here, then. Is the thought I would leave—the paramount need of business Is sound thinking. Some may think I have overstated the case, have set too high a standard They may feel that they are merely cogs in a machine. That, too, ts a part of the problem. The only way to solve that Is to find time and place tn the day s work for thinking.
