“But when'd he say I'd be up?
Sarah thought of the doctor's terse

husband could not hear.
“He'll be all summer getting well,

Conservation of

NEWLIN, President American

Jar Association.
The nation’s rapidly expanding industry 37 years ago brought dan-
ger from industrial greed, and to guard against this the Sherman enti-
trust act was passed. Our idea then was to protect the individual by
providing for unrestrained production, irrespective of our aetual needs.
Keen competition, which meant the production of enormous surplus
rtocks, was believed necessary for the well-being of our citizens. But
now, when we realize our supplies of natural resources are not inex-
baustible, we have swung around to limited but strictly supervised pro-
duction. For the first time the question is being asked: “What of the
morrow 7”
One result of this new philosophy is the creation of the federal off

To aspirug
souls discontent is a divinely implanted urge that aggravates to action.
But, if the soul is continually driven to build more “stately man-

sibly there are those who “take things as they come,’
nor conceiving that anything different should “turn up.”
Our very well-being demands a eonfident affirmation that there arg
satisfactions in the midst of the struggles. First, there is the satisfac-

All Economie Problems Ultimately Found to Be
Problems in Personnel
By HARRY C. SPILLMAN, Sales Expert, Buffalo.
Christ had only one objective and that was personality. He discov.
ered that “nothing mattered but people.” He was the greatest sales
manager in the world. It is to be wondered at that for 2,000 years we
regarded His discovery only in a spiritual way and overlooked its eco.

All problems ultimately become problems in personnel. The bed
rock of econorhics is man power, and costs always decrease inversely as
personnel efficiency increases, Merchandise has no power to project it-
self out of the factories and into the markets; it cannot convert ilsel!
into the coin of the realm; it has no power to think or to organize, These
are human attributes, and human attributes are supreme.
