Podle posledniho vYkazu nova ziskanYch Cleat seznali jsme, Ze v dobe osiiki mesict t. r. nabor novYch Clem') byl sice uspokojivY, ne 2 oproti stejnernu tdobi roku minuleho byl slabsi Dodateene Prh2emeodhaliti,'Ze v nekterYch mistech agitace byla velmi vYsledna, v jinYch mistech vkak mnohem slabki a nekde zcela buz vysledku. Prod nekde se da, agitovati a pro ne vSude? V nekterych radech elenoye spravne chapou vYznam naki SPJST a rannezuji se proto na pouhe placeni svYch prispevka, nYbrZ' jak jen mono napomahaji radovYm organisatortm.

Kterak? Dozvi-li se o nekorn, kdo by se zajimal o pojiSteni oznami jeho jmeno

radovemu organisatoru; mezi pribuznYini, prateli a znamYrni agituje ye sprospech naki Jednoty, vysvetluje Pm vYhody nakich pojistek a kdykoli vypozoruje, Ze by se ten onen pribuznYCi znamy o naSe pojikteni poeal zajimati spravi o torn organisatora. Co se dari v jednom radu, mute jiste miti tspech 1 v jinYch. Jenom se nenechat odstraSit okam2itYm snad netspechem. Zaenete s takovou napomoci radovenau organisaoru znovu a bud'te ubezpeeeni, Ze prace yak posleze piece jenom bride korunovana tspechern. Do noveil° roku mame jekte deset tYdnt, trody byly letos bohate a cena plodin primer :end., pracovni pomery jsou ten dobre a die irsudku narodohospodart zamestnanost potrva tadu let. Okolnosti ei predpoklady k fispeknemu naboru jsou tady, vyuZijme ptiznive situace k usilovne agitaci k ziska ni novYch Clean. Komu se neleni, tomu se zeleni!

V agitaeni Cinnosti v ptitomne dobe mame tu vYlrodu, e mtZeme nejen prodavati Clenstvi v naki SPJST, ale my raterne nabizeti ty nejmodernejki pojistky, ktere vyhovuji vkem pottebam dneSni doby. Pri nabizeni nakich pojistek, my ku ptikladu mtdeme uvadeti nasledujici vYbody, jet pojistky poskytuji: Pou2iti pojistky k poskytnuti vzdelani ditkam; poutiti pojistky na splaceni rnajetkove ptjeky v padu nehody tivitele rodiny; poutiti pojistky jako sporitelny, na kterou se milZeme kdykoli v padu potreby obratit. Toto jsou ovSem ty hlavni UCely, na ktere nemame ph provadeni agitace zapominati. V agitaci si predne musime uveclomiti, te niti2enie bYti nejlepSimi prodavael a zralci bratrskeho pojikteni, a piece Zadny vas nebude vyhledavati,-abyste mu prodaii 'To jest jiste samortejme a proto musime jiti k lidu sami. tspech v takto provadene agitaci ovSem bude meten podle toho, kolik rozmluv radovy organisator mel a jak Y byl jeho vYber takovYch prospektt.

Psali jsme na tomto miste u2 loni za nekolik mesict po politickern prevratu ve stare vlasti, Ze my Amerieane Ceskoslovenskeho ptivodu mame v srdci d ye vlasti a nejvetki misto Ze v nem zaujima nake nova, vlast, v nit nalezli jsme svobodu, obtivu, spokojenost. My ztekli jsme se obeanstvi stare vlasti a prijali jsme zavazky k vlasti nova a proto tato mush bYt pro nas nejprednejki. Uddlosti, ktere se tarn od prevratu sbehly, nas zde rozdvojily a bylo by to krasne, kdybychom o nich mohli rozumne a klidne debatovati, vymenovati si sve nazory, k nimt mame vkichni stejna, prava. Ale zkukenosti nas poueily, Ze se miuvenim a psanim do novin o tech zalelitostech jeden druhemu odcizujeme. Nesouhlasne nazhani na vac stalo se zdrojem rozeilovani, sport, hadek. Co elenove naki SPJST nesmime dovoliti, aby pro ta nake rtizna nazirani trpela Jednota. Ona by trpela nevinne a nezaslouZila by si toho. Musime rozhodne zachovati jakousi nestrannost, musime se vyhybati debatam, kde mohou \Testi ke sporu a zaSti. Z tech cluvodti hledeli jsme se ten vystrihati v nakem organu ykeho, co by mohlo \Testi k polemikam. Redaktor byl nucen nektere dopisy predat naSemu Tiskovernu vYboru k posouzeni, v nekterYch musel zkvadne vety i odstavce vykkrtnout.

Posledni doby Cleni posilali dopisy od picatel ze stare vlasti ku uvetejneni ye Vestniku a i ty vyvolaly velke nesnaze a rozdach.

Posledni na g sjezd ve Fort Worth dal Tiskovemu vyboru jistou pravornoc a natizeni, aby dohliZel na obsah organu a bdel, aby dopisovatele tidlili se die stanov. Nekteti se snad budou proto horeiti -- to je pochopitelne. Chceme veak, aby uvazili, prof se tak stalo. Nae Tiskovy vybor kona proste svoji povinnost a chce ptedejiti jitteni v naeich icadach. VZclyt' marne povinnosti k naei Jednote a vnittnimi spory bychom tern povinnostem sotva dostali. I pti torn ritznem nazirani na politicke svetove zalelitosti zastanme naddle vernYmi a oddanYmi eleny nael SPJST. Nedopust'me, aby mezi nami nastaly nebezpeene trhliny, protole napjeti se vybije a my sami milZeme je nebudeme-li se snaZiti vnucovati sve nazirani tern, kteti s nim nesouhlasi.

Ce Harty, v pameti oZivuje pohled na vesnicke muzikanky a na kluky, kteti si na pastve vypravuji bachorky.

Roku 1715 narodila se v Quedlinburgu Dorota Kristina Leporinova, jeZ byla pozdeji ueenou, vysoce va,Zenou a zruenou lekatkou. Svoje prvni dukladne vzdelani a navod k praksi obdrZela od eveho otce, znameho lekate. Lekatske praksi se venovala i kdyZ se provdala. Nicmene mela take povest yYteene hospodyne a- vzorne matky.

Trochu popik jak my jsme pochodili s pikovaei.

Prato kidil pchyby sveho vojska tak, jako by zamY:slel uderiti na Bragg-ova leve kridlo a stied ve skuteenosti ale chtel obkii(Hti kridlo prave.

Na pochodu tom uddlo se nekolik srag' ek s rebelskYrni sbory a vAude dobylo narodni vojsko viterstvi.

"Tim skoneilo," psal gem Rosecranz ye sve zprave, "na,Ae devitidenni taaeni; neptitel byl se vSech opevnenYch mist vytlaeen a my opanovali opetne sttedni Tennessee."

Burnside svedl s konfederaty nekolik tuhYch bitek, ne21i jej rozkaz ten do ge' aims voj jeho byl znaene seslaben a kdy2 byl jeAte devatY armadni sbor vyslal k Vicksburgu na pomoc Grant-ovi, nemel ph sobs vice nea 20.000 bojavneho lidu. Kdy2 Burnside vydal se na pochod, nalezal se gen. Simon B. Buckner s 20.000 rebely lie vYchodnim Tennessee a oeekavalo se, ae postavi se Burnside-ovi na odpor. VAak vakera snaha. Jihana obracena byla k zachranein Chattanoogy a proto jest Buckner povolan zpet, aby spojil se s Bragg-em.

Buckner tedy nevyekal Burnside-a a tento pritrhl dne 3. zati do Knoxville, kde uvitan byl s neabyeejnYm nadSenim.

"Rdy2 Wain se ku Knoxville," pile ocity Svedek, "ji2 laskz a oddanost obyvatelstva k Unii byla partnou; asi na deset mil od mesta davy lidi sbihaly se se v§ech konein, aby jenom uvitati mohly Yankee. Kdy2 po meste roznesla se zprava, gen. Burnside prave vjiadi, spechal kahly, at' chuff neb bohatY zdravY i churavY, stark i mladY, aby jej mohl pozdraviti. Nebyla to pouha zvedavost spattiti muse, kterY zaujimal v dejinach sveta — byla to touha utlaeeneho lidu, spatriti sveho esvoboditele. S hlavou nepokrytou, volne jel general mestem k svemu hlavnimu stanu. Cestou davy nadknell° lidu tlaeily se k nemu, multi chapall se jeho rukou, volajice: "Bah vas aehnej !" Kdy2 se Burnside ubytoval, velky zastup lidi shroma2dil se lie dvoie a boutlive volal generala, aby promluvil.

Burnside vystoupiv pravil, ae aokoli temeslem jeho nyni jest valka a ne reeneni, piece jenom ph teto ptile2itosti prohlasiti musi, ae od chvile, kdy postaven byl v Belo ohio-ske armady, bylo stale jeho vroucim pranim, aby mohl vojska sva vesti do vYchodniho Tennessee. "A eini mi potekni." dodal, "mohu-li 2'e mam dosti moci, bych kraj tento jiz udr2e1 a proti neptatelskemu vpadu pojistil." Slova Burnside-ova pi-ijata byla s nadAenim, ktere nezdalo se miti mezi.

V Knoxville zmocnili se Unioniste mnoho majetku nale2ejiciho Kanfederaci.

Dne 4. vytrhlo narodni vojsko k prfismyku Cumberland, kterY hajil gen. Frazier dne 9. vSak Ji2 Jihane vzdali se bezvS7mineene. Zde ukotistili Unioniste 40 voza, 200 mezka, 400 liber Apeku, 2000 bu• Sal p§enice a deset polnich del.

Chattanooga stala se nyni predmetem v'Seobecne pozornosti; sem °braceny jsou zraky obou oolovic Unie, sem soustted'ovaly obe strany sva vojska a s fizkosti eekano bylo na vYsledek, as .obe vojska srazi se zde v krvavem boji. Unioniste byli v krajinach techto pronikli jig dale, neali bylo vlade konfederaeni vhod a proto lekala se nasledkfi, jako mohla pro ni pora2ka u Chattanoogy.

The Life Insurance Estate The average member usually does not consider his SPJST certificate in any other light except as a good reliable protection. But suppose a member has the maximum of protection with the SPJST, say the full $7,500.00. It is more than the amount needed to cover the incidental bills and the funeral expenses.

It is a life insurance estate. It is property which is gradually created to reach the sum of $7,500.00 on or before. But it is better than any ordinary property estate, even if we do not consider the certainty of reaching the goal.

The adventages of a life insurance estate over a non-life insurance property estate and the methods by which the advantages ma y be realized are: 1. The life insurance estate is administered without executors' fees, attorneys' fees, probate costs and various other administration expenses. This is accomplished by naming beneficiaries other than the estate so that the proceeds will be payable directly to such beneficiaries and not pass through the estate.

2. There will be no shrinkage through forced sale to meet the needs of beneficiaries as might be the case with property estate. This advantage is inherent in insurance since the full face value is payable in cash upon death. Even under the settlement options cash payable upon death does not require the loss or sacrifice of anything of value.

3. There is no delay in settlement of a life insurance estate whereas there are delays for probating of wills, advertising for creditors and numerous settlement details in a property estate. Life insurance companies pride themselves on their promptness in paying claims, but the insured can expedite the settlement by arranging to have his policies inventoried and conveniently available, and instructing his beneficiaries in the steps to take upon his death.

4. There is no publicity associated with a life insurance policy payment, whereas wills are a matter of public record. This advantage is automatic in insurance, although the full benefit is lost if

in-

surance is payable to the insured's estate.

Until recently, the SPJST did not issue certificates to be payable to the insured's estate. It tried to retain the full benefit of the fraternal insurance, as explained in the preceding paragraphs. The disadvantage of designating as beneficiary one's estate should be better known to our organizers, officers, and members. ) • 4. •

Farming is Ain port nt Repeatedly, we assert that more than 75 percent of our SPJST members are farmers. You, brother farmers, who work with the soil must be puzzled. We, who are not farmers but depend on you to keep us from starving, are puzzled, too.

Progress has been made in metallurgy and mineralogy, and in improvement of skills and techniques in manufacturing, and in medicine, but a blind, defeatist attitude blocks the way to obtaining the full benefits of maximum production from the soil.

Billions upon billions are being spent to harness the atom. Why not a few million for research by industrial chemists and dietitians into the possibilities that lie in those mountains of grain and other products of the soil?

The science of chemurgy has made great strides—but it need's to make more.

It points the way to an expanding prosperity, and a better living for all.

Dr. George Washington Carver, Negro scientist, did with the lowly soybean and peanut what can be done with other agricultural products. He had no millions at his beck and call, but he had a good mind, and he had faith that nature put something in the soybean for man to use and enjoy. Scores of uses for the soybean were discovered by him to the enrichment of mankind.

And what Dr. Carver did with the soybean and .peanut, American initiative, skill, and enterprise have done in thousands of other directions. Just think of it: A half billion dollars is spent annually by private enterprise in industrial research.

Here we are, a Nation with only onesixteenth of the earth's population, and only 6 percent of the world's area, but America produces nearly seven-sixteenth of the world's goods. Here people own 45 percent of its radios! 54 percent of the telephones; 59 percent of its steel capacity; 60 percent of its life insurance; 85 percent of its automobiles; with the most schools, the most churches, and the best health record.

ous life than all the other countries have made in 6,000 years.

And yet, incredible as it may seem, there are among us agitators who would supplant our way of life with worthless, alien ideologies.

Naturally, we do not want tc rest on our oars. We must go toward greater goals. We shall bend every effort toward still greater achievement of the good things of life, and for their greater diffusion among all the people.

Our job is to keep open the opportunities of freedom, freedom in agriculture, freedom in all walks of life. And above all, we must hold fast to the principles of our Republic. They guarantee to us "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

America is the best place on earth. ( ) • .4.

Texas' Newest industry There is a motive in presenting this article to the readers of the Vestnik.

Some three months back, the editor received an envelope containing greetings from the place which is being described in the subsequent paragraphs. In spite of the inquiry as to who sent the greetings and failed to sign it, no acknowledgment has yet been received. We hope to revive his memory by dedicating to him this article.

Anything can happen in Mineral Wells, from where the greetings came. With a population of 11,000 the city is approximately ten times the size of Palo Pinto, the County seat.

What's more, Mineral Wells is known throughout the length and breadth of the land for Crazy Water Crystals and for nearby Camp Wolters, once the nation's largest infantry replacement training center.

But that's not all!

Sixty Mineral Wells business men, a few years back, got the idea that silkworms could be raised en a commercial basis in the United States.

These free-enterprising gentlemen formed the Texas Silk Industries, Inc., with a capital stock of $50,000 and 63,000 mulberry trees.

In the not-too-distant future, these 600 cocoon tycoons hope, Texas silkworm production may utilize more than 1,000,000 acres of West Central Texas land in growing mulberry trees.

It should be pointed out at this juncture that the silkworm is a finicky little cuss that insists on a diet of choice, tender, dry, dust-free, shredded mulberry leaves.

Not only that, this fastidious worm eats like a horse and as often as a baby.

A total of 1500 pounds of leaves is need-

ed for feeding worms that hatch from one ounce of eggs. And these leaves must be served up every four hours, day and night, for three to four weeks.

To really understand Texas' newest industry—sericulture—let's take a peek into the silkworm's background.

For centuries China and Japan monopolized nearly 90 per cent of the world's silk industry. This was because of abundant cheap hand labor employed in the tedious job of unwinding raw silk from the cocoons.

Then, a few years ago, the picture changed. in Providence, Rhode Island, a young tinker brought forth an automatic unreeling machine for unwinding approximately 1000 feet of raw silk from the average cocoon. (It takes 120 cocoons to make one pair of women's hose, incidentally).

In 1935 a farmer named Pete Nadar, of Mingus, Palo Pinto -County, Texas, experimented with growing a large leaf bearing hybrid mulberry tree. Launching of the silkworm was the next step.

Then the aforementioned 60 Mineral Wells business men got into the act.

Their 63,000 mulberry trees were planted on 80u.cres, and the silk rush was on.

Professor F. L. Thomas, state entomologist at College Station, recently came forward with a hatful of interesting facts about the silkworm and, silk production.

Said the professor: "Silkworm eggs hatch, then in four or five weeks become large caterpillars about three inches long which spin their cocoons at the average rate of about six inches of thread a minute . . .

"About 10 days after the larvae have made their cocoons they are killed. The cocoons are then soaked to soften the gum which binds the silk threads together and these are skillfully unwound

by Machinery."

It is unfortunate from the silkworm's point of view that the production of silk is accomplished by the sacrifice of large numbers of caterpillars. If not killed, these caterpillars change into moths which cut a hole in their respective cocoons and emerge. Thus the cocoon is ruined for thread because the moth cuts the filaments.

However, in all fairness to every-one concerned, a certain number of moths are allowed to see the light of day in order to propagate the silkworm race.

Among the rewarding factors of the silkworm industry in Mineral Wells is that it has given employment to disabled veterans, housewives, elderly people, and other semi-unemployables.

The Texas Silk Industries. Inc., Is a brilliant example of the fruits of free enterprise and private ownership in a great democ-racy.

New Homes Wanted After three years of a home-buying spree, U. S. families still are in the market for a vast number of houses in years immediately ahead.

Demand for homes appears to be about, as strong for the period between now and the end of 1953 as it was in the first three postwar years. 'This is made clear by a sampling poll of families, taken for the Federal Reserve Board early this year by the University of Michigan's survey research center. Results, just mae public, are shown here.

In the last three years, 1946 through 1948, about 6 million families bought or built houses for their own use.

In the next five years, 1949 through 1953, 10 million plan to buy or build.

This means average sales of 2 million hemes a year—enough, if plans are realized, to keep the postwar housing boom running at full speed.

These figures cover only those nonfarm families who said they definitely or probably would buy houses for their own use. They do not include any houses for rental. Nor do they allow for any new families who might come into the market. FRB, making allowances for changes in family plans, concludes that the market could contract to 7 million or expand to 12 million in the five-year period.

WEST, TEXAS

New houses, rather than used houses, are demanded by enough families to keep the building industry busy, assuming the public's plans for 1949 are typical of what to expect in years ahead.

At least 1 million of the 2.3 million families in the 1949 market wanted newly constructed houses. That is mere than will be built this year f or both sale and rental. Some of these people will have to buy used houses, or wait until later for new houses.

Outlays for housing have reached huge proportions and show little sign of diminishing. These expenditures promise customers for many industries and a cushion for the whole economy.

Customers for houses. in 1949 appeared more willing to accept high prices than they did a year earlier.

Homeowners paid 4.5 billion dollars on their mortgages, in 1948. Improvements and repairs to homes. cost 6 billion dollars, a new record. Taxes amounted to nearly 2 billion dollars. Renters paid their landlords 7 billion dollars. Thus, total of housing costs of American families for one year was well over 19 billion dollars.

Homes are owned, by 20 million nonfarm families, a rise of 1.5 to 2 million in 1948. Fewer than 18 million pay rent.

The rest occupy quarters that, for one reason or another, are rent-free.

Debt on homes does not appear heavy enough to rule many owners out of markets for other things, including home additions and improvements. About 55 percent of homes are free of mortgage debt, and annual payments on the others average less than $500.

Turnover in the housing field suggests an active market. Half of U. S. homeowners have bought since Pearl Harbor, and three out of 10 since the war. Two out of every 10 nonfarm families moved at least once during 1948.

Construction rate for new homes so far in 1949 supports the survey findings.

The building industry has been turning out houses this summer at around 100,0 000 a month. Now the Government is making plans for new programs of easy credit for house buyers. The public is a little more selective about quality and price. Still there appears to be no shortage of customers for good houses, at prices the public can afford to pay. ) • 4. • ( Once upon a time a business was a business.

`It Ought to Rain" (The following excerpt is a translation from Karel Capek's book, "The Gardener's Year." Karel Capek was an outstanding Czechoslovakian writer. In his play R. U. R.—Rossum's Universal Robots—there appeared a large number of artificially manufactured persons, "robots," mechanically efficient, but devoid of feeling and sensibility. Hence, the term "robot." adopted in English, denotes a brutal, efficient, insensitive person. — Karel Capek died brokenhearted shortly after the Munich debacle.)

Every one of us must have inherited a bit of a farmer in his blood, even if we have no geraniums growing outside our windows; for when the sun has shone steadily for a week we look anxiously at the sky and say to one another as we meet: "It ought to rain."

"It ought to," moans the other.

"For a week at least," says the first, "on the grass and crops."

"It is too dry," groans the other.

When your watch stops you take it to the watchmaker; if your car , you send it to the garage. With everything in the world it is possible- to do something, but against weather nothing can be done. No zeal, no ambition, no newfangled methods, no meddling or cursing is of any use. And it is never quite right.' The temperature is either five degrees below normal, or five degrees above; if it is not too dry, it is inevitably too wet. If people who are not "oncerned with the weather have so many reasons for complaining about it what should a gardener say! But nobody minds us gardeners, and nobody asks us what things ought to be. The gardener, however, knows very well what ought to be.

"We need a shower," he says in his characteristic way.

One would think watering a little garden, during a dry spell, to be quite a simple thing, especially if one has a hose. But until it has been tamed a hose is an extraordinarily evasive and dangerous beast, for it contorts itself, it jumps, it wiggles, it makes puddles of water, and dives with delight into the mess. it has made; then it goes for the man who is going to use it and coils NOTICE!

Devaluation of the Pound Sterling Most of the readers of the Vestnik, like most other people, are inclined to shrugg off the subject or skip the reading about the changes in the world currencies. Yet the money changes that seem to us far away will touch almost everybody.

It might have been an accident that I started to attend a series of lectures at the University of Houston about money and monetary systems. Or it might have been that I knew so pitifully little about various kind of investments, securities, and bonds, that I wished to learn at least the underlying principles of money.

The first lecture could not start any more dramatically or emphatically than with the announcement of the devaluation of the British money. The lectures became highly interesting from the very beginning.

Does that affect us in the United States? Surely, it does.

Up to now, the American people (and that includes the readers of the Vestnik) have been paying part of the bills of living for the British people. We have given them many billions, all of which we really needed in this country. We have balanced their budgets, meeting their deficits, supporting their currencies, giving them food and merchandise when they could not pay for it.

Every time the British government bought a toupee—that's a wig of false hair covering a bald spot—or a set of false teeth, or a pair of bifocals, who do you think really paid for such personal accommodations and needs? You did.

They tried to raise their standard of living with American dollars. They have been underfed, underclothed, underhoused. They have had the lowest standard of living of any so-called civilized country since the Dark Ages. They kept on borrowing from the American people, from the same people that some 170 years back declared that they did not care for the interference from the British and proclaimed themselves to be capable to run the things on this side of the Atlantic to suit themselves. Most Americans have tried to forget that we did not get anywhere the first 170 years as British subjects, and that we have picked up our speed until after we have forgotten our poor relatives on the other side.

But let us get back to the subject: British devaluation of the pound sterling. There is no parallel in history to the sudden and drastic shakedown of international exchange rates. What's

VESTNIN WEST, TEXAS

more, there may be almost as drastic shakedown in international trade within the next few months.

The immediate effect is, naturally, upon the British people, since the money had been slashed 30 percent.

To the English workingman or woman, the slash means this: If he has been earning $20 a week, which is about the average there, the buying value of his earnings was cut to $14.

If he had $100 in the bank, his deposit is now worth $70.

If he had insurance worth $1,000, it is now worth $700. In a broader sense, it means a 30-percent slash in their standard of living.

They thought that they already were on the bottom, that they were getting barely enough food to keep alive, barely enough clothing to keep them covered.

Now their government, without a referendum or other consent, has shoved them through the flOor. Please note and think this over.

There is no more sacred duty of any government than that of protecting the integrity of its credit and its money.

And the first step of any government that is shaky is to debase its national currency.

We in America; at the same time, may be going blithely on, thinking that the currency change in Britain is not important to us. But we, too, may be directly affected. A U. S. worker may be working in a factory where machinery is produced for export. One pound sterling formerly bought $4.03; it now buys $2.80. The American machinery will cost 30 percent more, and it may not sell so easily. Some men will be laid off.

Or the worker may be employed in a woolen mill. The wool shipped from Australia will be cheaper, but the imported material will likewise be cheaper.

A British topcoat that a dealer in U. S. bought for $50 may be imported for $35 or $40. It will be an advantage for the one who, buys the overcoat, but the worker in the American woolen mill may have to loOk for job elsewhere.

All in all, every kind of U. S. goods will be harder to sell outside of this country, and, on the other hand, goods imported into U. S. will be sold cheaper by the change in currency values.

These are some practical examples to show the readers of the Vestnik what has happened and what probably is due to happen. Full impact is yet to come.

Once it hits us, everything and everybody will feel the results.

Magnetic Observatory In Texas The University of Houston is forging right ahead in the field of scientific research. A magnetic observatory, one of the three in the United States, will be constructed on the University of Houston campus within the next few weeks.

The observatory will collect data on magnetic storms, solar electrical disturbances and similar scientific information.

One of the present observatories is located in Tucson, Ariz., and the other is in Cheltenham, Md. The same type of instruments as those in the other United States stations and stations in Honolulu, Alaska and the Philippines will be installed.

Two small buildings will be constructed to house the instruments. A unique fact of the construction is that no ordinary nail or reinforcing may be used in the construction, for iron, or any other magnetic substance, would cause excessive deviation in the delicate instruments.

Data collected by the station will be useful in aviation, oil exploration, and radio, telephone, and telegraph services.

The material will be available to the government, and to local industries.

A campus site is being selected now for the observatory. Ronald L. Viets, a geophysicist with the United States Geodetic Survey, is making the magnetic and astronomic observations for the proper location.

He explained that true north must be established, for magnetic north varies several degrees from. true north, and shifts with changes in the atmosphere or electric storms.

Dr. Hughes M. Zenor, professor of physics, will supervise the observatory.

Doctor Zenor said that instruments in the observatory will continually record information. From information obtained from the instruments, radio "blackouts" can be predicted as much as 48 hours in advance, he said. „s, • t_ CONSULATION Henry VIII, upon sending an ambassador to France at a time when FrancoEnglish relations were extremely strained, told the trembling diplomat that he would in reprisal take off the head of every Frenchman in England if harm came to the emissary while he was in France. "Yes," answered the ambassador, "but what good would that do? None of them would fit my neck!" ) • 40 • You become easy competition if you criticize a competitor.

He Belongs to The SPJST, Too Nowadays, you read quite frequently about the small-business and its owner.

Sometimes you would like to ask yourself: How small or what kind of business? You feel who the small-business man is, but you can't put it in plain words. How would the following definition suit you?

A small-business man: He may be a grocer, druggist, jeweler, furniture dealer, confectionery owner, or a drygoodsman. He is a good guy. He is the most sought-after man when the school patrons, mothers' clubs, or organizations need a prize—he is allowed the privilege of buying tickets from five customers, for the affair he gave the prize. He is a cowardly individual; he is afraid to go to the polls on primary day because he is afraid he will hurt himself by offending some politician. He is a good taxpayer—he is small—so he does not have an auditor who can show him just exemptions. He is the neighborhood standby—he loans money in times of sickness or sorrow; no interest, and many times he does not get it back, but is abused if he asks for it. He may need money. He goes to the bank--pledges everylhing but his •eyeteeth, plus cosigners. He has never heard of RFC and that a smug financial statement can get aid from the Government—for the chosen few—He belongs to the SPJST, too. ) • 4 .4' It

Helps to Get Credit

The office of a certain small and nonetoo-successful produce concern down in Alabama is painfully cramped by reason of a huge old-fashioned iron safe which occupies nearly half of the tiny cubicle.

The other day a curious friend of one of the partners inquired: "Jake, what in the world do you keep in such a large strong-box?"

"Not much," Jake admitted; "two account books and my partner's pearlhandled pistol."

"Then," demanded the other, "why in heaven's name have you got such a large one?"

The produce merchant leaned over, and with the air of a small boy confiding a delicious secret, whispered: "Helps the morale of the creditors!" ) • elfp • If some of the starch in her turned to sugar she would be a very sweet person. )• •( There is only one time for any individual to take a forward step: immediately.

You must sell Yourself First, regardless of what you are selling you must sell yourself! In life insurance this is very impoAant! This means to sell yourself •on the idea of insurance as a whole not any one particular plan.

The next quality to check is your appearance; for appearance plays a big part in selling life insurance. The first thing Mr. Public checks is how you dress.

You can't sell life insurance to Mr. Public in a pair of overalls. Appearance is 50 percent of yoUr sales.

Our personality is a very important quality for without a good personality sales are lost. The type personality I have reference to is a cheerful and pleasant one.

Next let us look at our enthusiasm. If it is lacking let's do something about it.

When you present a sales talk to Mr. Prospect , don't just casually tell him about your plan. Don't be lazy. Go in with the idea to sell and know your sales talk so well that you make him want it. If Mr. Prospect asks questions then you have his interest.

If you have these qualities you can sell post holes. If not let's educate ourselves. ) • 4 • (

A daring Public Speaker . . . .

Theodore Rosevelt, according to his sister, Corinne Roosevelt Robinson, "was to speak one evening at a public dinner in New York. His evening suit, sent out to be pressed, did not return till just in time to start for the dinner. Upon attempting to get into it he discovered that the •coat was not his, being much too small for him. It was Saturday night, the tailor shop was by now presumably closed, and so Theodore decided to make the best of it. He squeezed into the coat, and got along very well at the dinner until the time came for him to speak; then, as he began to gesticulate, the collar almost went over his head. He was in the midst of his speech and in the thick of his trouble, when a boy with a box in his hand entered the dining room. A waiter brought the box to the speakers' table. It was the missing coat. Theodore then did what no other man in public life would have dared to do. Begging the indulgence of his audience, he took off that wretched, misfit coat and slipped on his own. Thunderous applause greeted him as he resumed his speech in perfect self-possession."

Some Sales Pointers Strategy means skillful planning.

Salesmen must be truthful.

The salesman must tell people what they want to hear—concentrate on this and forget other things.

Give the prospect the choice between something and something else—not between something and nothing.

Don't let your prospect ask all the questions, be sure and have some to ask him yourself.

Don't forget the "friendly third party" technique—tell him what others do and have done. Don't tell your prospect what to do.

Listening to promises is just building castles in the air. If your prospect can pay in two weeks, the chances are he can pay now.

Keep going.

Don't talk about yourself rather than talk about your prospect.

Ask for the order, don't be afraid.

Be enthusiastic—enthusiasm is the lifeblood of selling. ) e 01, o (

Children Come Here is a new twist to the good old American motto. It has to do with the postwar conditions in Denmark.

The Danes have tried to alleviate their housing shortage by setting up a system under which families with children receive first priority. According to Herbert U. Nelson, executive vice-president of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, who recently returned to America from Denmark, "This has resulted in a curious social development.

Some couples decide to start their families before ?marriage so they can be eligible for a high priority for an apartment as soon as the wedding bells ring." ) • aI.( Liberty has never come from the government.

That Worked ft Early this year a professor of sociology, while traveling home by train, was trying to write a report on conditions existing at Alcatraz Prison, in the San Francisco Bay. which he inspected the previous day. A woman boarded the train at a small station and seated herself beside him. Immediately she started talking about herself, her trip and destination, interrupting his writing time after time. Miles clicked past, and although the professor answered as briefly as possible, she kept up her stream of chatter.

Finally she came to the end of her self-eulogy. "Now that you know all about me," she said, "tell me something about yourself."

The professor looked up from his report. "Really, lady, there is very little to tell about myself," he said softly. "I just got cut of Alcatraz Prison yesterday."

The lady left immediately and he finished his report. )• • ,ti

ican Ralph Waldo Emerson had read philosophy, science, poetry and histories, but none of them had said anything about an eff4ctive and harmonious way of pushing a female calf into a barn. His son Edward grasped an ear, the father pushed diligently from behind, and tOgether they tried to propel the animal.

The heifer resisted with calm obstinacy.

The pale face of the sage reddened and perspiring beads gathered on his high white forehead. And then an Irish servant girl came by. With an amused glance she thrust a finger into the animal's mouth, and the calf, seduced by this maternal imitation, at once followed her into the barn. Edward grinned, but Emerson was already absorbed in thought. After cleaning his hands of their hairy, bovine smell, he recorded this telling declaration in his journal: I like people who can do things." ) • w4i • i4

Invitations to be present at the dedication of the Gettysburg cemetery on November 19, 1863, were dispatched to all members of Congress, to the President and his cabinet. Most of these declined; the committee, was surprised when Lincoln agreed to come. Should they ask him to speak? They had not intended to

do so. Objections were raised. He would not have time to prepare. (Edward Everett, the orator of the occasion, had asked that it be postponed a month to give him more time to polish his address.) Besides, even if Lincoln did have time to prepare, did he have the ability?

True, he could handle himself well in debate and in a Cooper Union address; but no one had ever heard him deliver a dedicatory address. This was a grave and solemn occasion. They ought not to take any chances. Finally, a forthnight before the event, they sent Lincoln a belated invitation to make "a. few appropriate remarks."—It turned out to be the greatest short speech of human history.

• )• When the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt was a young lawyer just geting started hi New York. he was retained to handle a difficult civil case. The opposing lawyer was a most effective court lawyer and completely outshone his youthful rival in the argument to the jary. He made one fatal mistake, however; he orated for several hours.

As he thundered on, Roosevelt noticed that the jury wasn't paying much attention. So, playing a hunch when his turn came, he rose and said: "Gentlemen, you have heard the evidence. You also have listened to my distinguished colleague, a brilliant orator. If you believe him and disbelieve the evidence, you will have to decide in his favor.

That's all I have to say."

The jury was out only five minutes and brought in a verdict for Roosevelt's client. )

THE HILL OF LIFE .

Some day you will bump into an elderly gentleman, and when you pick him up and dust him off, you will suddenly realize that the old gentleman is yourself.

He will ask you: "Young man, during your earning years did you accumulate a sinking fund? Have you provided for the balance of my lifetime, free from c- are and worry?"

He will say: "When do we eat? Where do we sleep? Who buys our clothes? The difference between dependence and independence is a few dollars guaranteed every month—have you provided it?"

You will say that it was hard to Save; that the future was uncertain! Son, fear of the future at 35 or 40 CT 45 is nothing compared with fear of the future at 65. ) A school principal was trying to make clear to his class fundamental doctrines el the Declaration of the Independence.

"Now boys," he said, "I will give you each three ordinary buttons. Here they are. You must think of the first one as representing Life, of the second one as representing Liberty, and the third one as representing Pursuit of Happiness.

Next Monday I will ask you each to produce the three buttons and tell me what they represent."

The following Monday he called on Johnnie for his explanation.

"I haven't got all of them," Johnnie said, holding out two of the buttons.
