STARTING A BUSINESS. Every year a certain proportion of people start doing business for themselves. They are not satisfied to accept the status of a wage or salary earner, but they desire the Independence and chance for expansion which success in business gives. The great majority of course, try out by starting some kind of a retail store. It is a fine spirit of initiative, but there are certain principles of success that will commonly have to be complied with, if the aspdrant for profits expects to obtain the results he seeks. If a person does not feel able or willing to comply with these rules, it is commonly better for such a one to work for someone else. One of these principles that usually applies in starting a business, is that it must take some positive steps to bring itself before the public. As a usual thing, that means that it must advertise. John Wanamaker, one of the most famous business men that the world ever produced, showed the spirit that th»> aspirant for success will do well to manifest. The day he opened his store in Philadelphia, he took in $21.61 as tne receipts of trade. The next day he spent s2l of that money for advertising. We all know what the result is. and how Mr. Wanamaker built up one of tire most wonderful businesses that the world ever saw. He could never have done it but for advertising. His success an t the way he achieved it should teach both new and old concerns a lesson. If advertising was necessary in I those times many years ago, wheu business people were spending relatively little for 'publicity, it is far more necessary now. when competition is so intense and when it is . aggressively pushed by lavish ad- । vert Ding. INTELLIGENCE IND \<<’lDE\T> Persons of high intelligence are more dangerous as automobile drlvI ers than people of lower mentality, I according to a report of Dr. Blngi ham of New York, of the Personnel Research foundation. He apparently । feels that they get their minds so | much on the problems with which ' their thought Is occupied, that they I may forget what they are doing while driving a car. This statement is probably so backed with statistics that it must be accepted as correct However, the possession of a sense of obligation and responsibility is a big factor In avoiding accents . The ‘‘l don’t care” crowd are responsible for many smash-ups. Dr. Bingham’s statement should be a warning to people of high intelligence, that they must* forget ti e big questions that occupy their minds, when they get behind a steering wheel, and devote themselves simply to the job they have on hand

AN INQUIRY INTO AIRCRAFT [ There is general satisfaction that President Coolidge has appointed a' board to make a thorough inquiry | into the development of military and naval aircraft. Aviation is a tremendous new power. Some will say' that it is going to change the technique of war almost as much as anything that has happened since gun powder was discovered. People may not believe that the ' current criticism of our aircraft ' management is well founded. But as . these new machines of war could circle over a city and reduce it to dust heaps, if unopposed, the proper development of this form of fighting is the most important problem of ’ the science of war at this moment. • The best brains in the country I should be set to work on that prob- • lem. THE HYPER- CRITICS ; A well known clergyman, in his prayer of a few Sundays ago. offered the petition that instead of, , finding fault with the way the world i ■ goes, we should all look into our , own hearts and ask ourselves wheth- . er we are as honest and kind and . helpful as we ought to be. There- ‘ upon he spoke a searching truth , that would hit a good many folks. It is often noticeable that the people who are the most censorious, are themselves lacking in their re- ( lations to the community. The man , who finds fault the most bitterly, beb cause he thinks the community is , . not efficiently governed, may be failing to take bis share in the t work of carrying on that govern- । . ment. The man who complains the J most volubly of lack of enterprise. > 1 may himself not be lifting a finger ' । for progress. We need not merely J hyper-criticism, but self criticism.
