New. York.—Theodore N. Vail, presi-
dent of the American Telephone and
"Telegraph company and one who has
analyzed the American people and who
thoroughly understands them, recently
said when asked what be would do if
he were a young man again:
“hat is a big question. There are 80
many ‘opportunities big and small open
te every one.” Continuing, Mr. Vail
said:
“The United States today is im the
same position in relation to the rest of
the world as ‘the thirteen origina!
states werz in regard to what is now
the United States. Just as the original
thirteen: states had at their very doors
ithe whole continent from the Alleghe-
mies to the Pacific to develop and con
«quer, so today there is the whole world
waiting to be developed by American
capita! and American brains and

y American energy. There is the whole
world tq conquer, the whole of man-
kind to serve. That is the opportunity
of the United States.
“Just at present and for some years
to come England and France, the great
capitalist nations that up to now have
developed the earth and given civiliza-
tion to the raw and naked lands, will
| be shut off from competing with us.
We can, we will, have the field to our-
' selves and the whole world to develop.
“The mere statement of the fact that
this country stands today in relation to
the world just where the thirteen
states stood in relation te this country
gixty or seventy years ago must show
any man who knows this country how
great our opportunity is.
“What is going on now in the Unit-
ed States is the natural community
growth, and the great Mississippi val-
fey and the west are creating and keep-
ing their own wealth and are rapidly
getting to the point where the thirteen
original states were when they had to
send their sons beyond their own bor-
ders to develop the great country which
is now the United States.
“This might have gone on for some
few more years, but the great war in
Europe has brought to our doors an op-
portunity. that ¢his nation must seize.
Alone of all the great powers the Unit-
ed States is in a position to carry on
the great work of civilization on earth.
1t is our duty to do the great things
that are waiting to be done, our duty
.te_develop other countries, our duty. to
be of service to mankind. And it is
not only our duty; it is also to our
profit.

a scale never dreamed of before. That
is their work and will occupy them for
some time, but lying right at our door
there are Mexico and Central and
South America and all those rich and
fertile countries that are crying for de-
velopment that ‘must come and now
can only come through the United
States.
“After all, that will only be the Unit-
pd States doing for the world what the
thirteen: states; did. for this country of
ours. Within the lifetime of men who
are still active just think what tremen-
dous changes have been wrought!”

Sewing can
be either -—
Work or Play
It all depends on the light. Sewing by the glimmer
of the ordinary flickering, smoking, smelly lamp is
work, difficult work. Hard on the eyes, ofttimes
the real cause of throbbing, nervous headaches.
But it's a real pleasure to pick out the finest
stitches by the radiant, soft, white light of a Rayo
