COST OF CARELESSNESS,
Carelessness and selfishness are
closely akin because they beset the
spirit of human conduct, best ex-
pressed In the sentiment: "Everyone
for himself and the devil take the
hindmost," and "I am not my broth-
er'* keeper." This selfish and Inhu-
man sentiment requires a stupendous
sacrifice of life, limb and property as
well as an incalculable amount of suf-
fering and poverty following In Its
«ake. In the United Slates, in one
year's tltne there have been lost 50,000
lives, have happened 2,(XX), 000 so-
called accidents and a property loss
amounting to over JLIMMMKUMH). Most
of this loss of life and limb and prop-
erty was avoidable. It could be re-
duced to the minimum, were It pos-
sible to Interest all our fellow men in
safeguarding life and property along
modern lines. Instead of letting the
j devil take the hindmost, let every man
ha his brother's keeper and so con-
1 duct himself that he endangers'neither

I the age of fourteen years, Lord Hal-
dane, former lord high chancellor, de-
clared In an address delivered recent-
ly in London. Study of the Inequal-
ities of education among the people
of the country, he declared, revealed
a "terrible state of things. In our
democracy today there Is burled a
mass of unknown talent. Darwins,
Stephensons and other geniuses lie
buried there because there has been
no means of stimulating their minds."
If there were more equality of educa-
tion, he said, the relations between
labor and capital would be much sim-
pler than they are at the present
time.

created the entire work In his Imagi-
nation. In order to cultivate the Imag-
ination, It must be exercised. Exercise
is necessary to cultivate mental mus-
cle as well as physical muscle. It

It cannot grow. Do not confuse imagi-
nation with fancy, or that form of
day dreaming in which some like to
indulge, writes Charles F, Haanel In
an exchange. Day dreaming is a form
of mental dissipation which may lead
to mental disaster. Constructive imagi
nation means mental labor but, even
so. it yields the greatest returns, for
all the great things of life come from
men and women who have the capa-
city to think, to imagine, and ttien
make their dreams come true.

FOR ADVERTISERS

Small obstacles on the track don't
keep the train from moving on, yet
sometimes a mighty little disapp iin:
ment in advertising will cause a big
man to falter.
One advertisement hasn't the pow-

Advertising once won't make an)

There are both good and bad repu-
tations. A bad reputation to have is
one that is so good that you are
afraid to lose it for another. It Is a
bad thing for a man to have a reputa-
tion which is like a plaster cast which
he dare not break, and from which he
cannot escape. Many men are trying
to live w ithin the repute they won 21?
years ago, afraid to "lose a reputa-
tion" which probably fitted them then,
but which Is a misfit now. No man
ever "loses his reputation"; he simply
gets another one, says Dearborn In-
dependent. It ought to be a better
one. In any case, reputation is only
the projection on the public imagina-
tion of a picture which may be true
or false. The real likeness is found
in character.
