QjPI Reading firWaweiv aivd all ike RmiKj Making Your Job Pay By BEATRICE FAIRFAX By Beatrice Fairfax "If I had not such frightful han dicaps, I might succeed too.'* "Given a good mind in a healthy body, any man may succeed," wrote a sago of years gone by. I want to amnde that bit of philosophy. "Given a good mind In a healthy body, and the will to force that brain to work in the right direction, any man must succeed." Each day brings me dozens of letters from boys and girls who pour out their pathetic tales of ad verse circumstances, of their un appreciated efforts, of their bad luck. Practically every letter ends the same way: "I know you, dear Miss Fairfax, will sympathize with me, and will j help me find work in which I have j a fair chance to use the ability I j am certain I could prove 1 have — if only I had a little oncourago ment." What I long to do for 'nine boys I and girls is not to make them a j present of a magic and unearned opportunity—but to give them the | grit and gumption to go and find i their own opportunity—just a plain, | everyday opportunity; not oae writ- j ten in capitals. Who do you suppose handed his j chance on a silver salver to Henry | Ford, to James J. Hill, to Frankj Vanderlip, to Ulysses S. Grant —to j Abraham Lincoln?

Why do you suppose Carnegie has given about two thousand pub lic libraries to various cities of our country? Do you think it was whim —acci dent, and he would have been just as well satisfied to sow the country with Natural Histo*y Mu seums or Botanical Gardens if he had thought of it in time? No. As a course of Business Es sentials says: "It is evidence of his own intense love of knowledge and his belief in the relation of knowledge to human efficiency and human happiness." Lena is grubbing along in a bar gain basement where the average of ventilation and salary is low. Lena dreams of a Fairs, Prince perhaps, or it may be her thought is of a marvelous chance to make good. How ready is Lena for either if it should chance to come her way? Lena is ignorant of history, mu sic, art, the events of the great To-day in this -world of ours. She reads the murder cases and i.oun dals in the newspaper, the society column gets her breathless atten tion and the comics claim a bit of her time. She speaks in a rough, piercing voice; her English is slangy, coarse and ungrammatical; her clothes are gaudy, but not neat; her manners are bad —if she were to be taken to a tine restaurant, Lena would be too frightened to eat. Why should a Fairy Prince in terest himself in her pretty, empty face? What can an opportunity do for Lena or -with her? Now here is my first suggestion to all those who write me impas sioned pleas, "Pray, do find me a chance." Get ready to find your own chance. . . . Go to the nearest public library station and ask a kindly librarian to direct your reading so you will know a bit of the history of all the great countries of the earth. After you have studied history, study next the great men who made history. The literature of the world will prove just' as interesting (!) as the merry-merry magazine. Study! Educate yourself. Watch the manners and deportment of the cultured people who sit near you in the cars or who stop at your coun ter to buy. Modulate your voice— breathe deep and hold a column of breath back of your voice. Don't try to impress other people with your ideas, but try to get a few ideas from them. Make a study of your department and its needs. Watch the people who come into it. Amuse yourself by trying to please others. Now you have background for' success. You have directed your mind into useful directions. Don't fritter time away trying to have "a good time" —for in doing your work thoroughly you will find a better good time than u hilarious party ever gave you. After you have trained and edu cated yourself in general, find a branch of your work you enjoy and learn all there is to know about it. | Specialize! But specialize on a background and foundation of gen eral knowledge. I don't care if you study lace and lace weaving or granite ware or dust cloths —if you know your specialty, your know ledge will earn the opportunity you long to have.

Book Is the doner of a fine piano to Camp Curtin Memorial Church. Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX You Were Generous Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 am nineteen and friendly with a man three years my senior. On his birthday I gave him (with the knowledge of my parents) a pres ent. Did I do wrong in giving him this little gift, a pair of gold cuff buttons? M. A. Don't worry about your own gen erosity in the matter of a birthday gift. A boy of fine feelings can not help appreciating the fact that you gave without calculating Whether you were in his debt or not. What you did was free from any mercenary spirit and surely can not be considered forward or bold in the light of the question you were asked and the honest answer you made. J have an idea that the young man is rather seriously inter ested in you but that he agrees with your own sensible attitude and recognizes the wisdom of letting time prove the seriousness of the attachment between you. Just go on as you have done before. There iis no need for selfconsciousness or regret. f HXRRISBURG tAfrflg TELEGHXFH Receipts That Save Wheat Indian Pudding Five cups milk, 1-.3 cup corn meal, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ginger, % cup molasses. Cook milk and meal in a double boiler 20 minutes; add molasses, salt and ginger; pour into buttered pud ding dish and bake two hours in slow oven; serve with whole milk.

When cooked add the baking powder and beat thor oughly. Add the fruit and melted fat and bake. South Carolina Corn Bread ' 1 % quarts fine corn meal, 2 % quarts of (lour or 2% quarts fine corn meal, 1 quarts wheat flour, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 pint mashed sweet potatoes, 1 yeast cake. Mix one pint each of the corn meal and the flour and add warm water enough to form a stiff batter. Add the yeast cake,* mixed with a small amount of water. Keep this sponge in a warm place until it be comes light. Scald the rest of the meal with boiling water and as soon as it is cool enough add it to the sponge with flour, potatoes and salt. The dough should be just thick enough to knead without danger of its sticking to the board. Experience will teach how much water to use to secure this end. Knead well and put in a warm place to rise. When it is light, form into loaves, put into bread pans, and let it rise until its volume is double. Bake in a moder ate oven. It was a common, though not gen eral, practice in New England to add cooked pumpkin to the other ingre dients in making such bread as this, very much as sweet potato is used in the South. The sweet potato or pumpkin changes the flavor of thfe bread somewhat and apparently facilitates the rising of the dough, improves the texture of the bread and tends to keep it moist. However, if sweet potato or pumpkin, either home cooked or canned, cannot be conveniently obtained, good bread can be made with white potato.

YANKEEABROAD NEEDS CHEERING FROM AMERICA Friendly Pipe Does Much For Men in the Front Lines Sammee's wet and hungry Says,' it's not a joke— Standing in the trenches, Longing for a smoke. He is stopping bullets Meant for you—and yet All he asks in payment Is a cigaret! Put yourself in the place of an American soldier in France. Paris is behind him. The cheering is over. He is in a front line trench, waiting to go over the top. He is facing homesickness as well as the foe. He needs cheering, a friendly pipe, a soothing cigaret. You can cheer him. You can send a package of happiness across the sea to the man who is defending your home, your loved ones. You* can't overestimate the good you do when you sent tobacco over there for the fighting men. A smoke is the one form of comfort that the man in the trench or the hospital craves. Officers, Red Cross nurses, chaplains, Y. M. C. A. workers, the soldiers themselves, all plead with us to keep sending the smokes that cheer them there on the dread borders of No Man's Land. •Every quarter subscribed buys 45 cents worth of tobacco, enough to keep a fighting man supplied for a week. One dollar a month keeps a soldier supplied for the duration of the war.

"X am afraid my boy Harold has run away and enlisted. He didn't come home last night." These words uttered by an anxious voice over the phone caused a sympa thetic recruiting sergeant to hurry through his records, expecting to dis cover the name of an 18-year-old youth, who probably had added some imaginary months to his sojourn on earth in order to pass muster.
