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? Weaklings are
the victims of adverse circurn- j
stances; strong men—who have it
It stopped ~~

circumstances to their own needs.
Grit, gumption and knowledge to |
galvanize action to life 'through
them are bound to solve tlie prob
lems of all the lazy folks who
want me to hand them a chance
they are too "shiftless" to earn and
so would probably be too lazy to
reain oven if 1 were to put it right
into their ineffectual hands!
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.
Victim of Costa Rican

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.

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.
Fruit Gems
One cup corn meal, 1% cup milk,
1 teaspoon salt, % cup raisins, %
cup currants, 2 tablespoons fat, 1
teaspoon baking powder.
Cook the meal and salt In the milk
for a few minutes. 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.
Corn Meal or Boiled Oats Muffins
One cup corn meal or rolled oats,
1 cup flour, 1-4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon
salt, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon soda, 2 teas
spoons cream of tartar, 2 tablespoons
melted shortening, 1 cup milk.
Mix and sift the dry ingredients;
add gradually milk, well beaten egg
and melted shortening. Bake in
greased muffin tins in a hot over
twenty-flve minutes.

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. Will you do your part by
sending to the Telegraph fund 25
cents, 50 cents, SI.OO or $5.00; then
wait for the receipt card from a
thankful Sammee who may be close
to death as he faces the atrocious
Hun.

To Enlist7lßYear-01d
Boy Gave Age as 39
San Francisco, March 11. "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. Finally
he found the enlistment card and
this is how it read: "Harold Cohn,
age 39."
