"There is not one major figure in
American financial, industrial, or
commercial life today uuder forty.
•Not one," points out the financial
expet', B. C. Forbee, to those of us
*'ho ucpect to succeed over night.
"And what of the past? The or
iginal J. p. Morgan, though born
rich an» reared as an international
banter, was sixty before he did his
greate t work, and nearer seventy
■befor© Wall street, in its hour of
trouble, acknowledged him us its
uu^Lputed leaiter.
"Hairimaa at fifty was an ob
scure broker with, a penchant for
railroading. Hill's hair was gray be
fore to became the Kmplre Build
er of the Northwest.
"At fifty; Woodrow Wilson was a
Uttle-kncwn college professor,
thouga a ituden* of politics and
history.
"Cflarles M. Schwab was presi
dent i-t the world's first billion-dol
lar corporation before he was thirty
*ive, made a mUtep. lost his steel
irone and dropped from the llrne
ht for a decade; but all this
do he had redoubled his ef
irts, and he h-s done his great
est wor* since he crossed the half.
Centura mark. He did not quit. He
stuck.
"The three most influential bank
ers i:» America today, George F.
Baker, James Stillman, and Jacob
11. Sc-hi'f, average seventy years of
age, while the three leaden* of the
'younger school," Henry P. Davidson,
Frank A. Vauderlip, and Otto H.
Kahu, t?ve all lived half-a-hundred
• '•ars cr more.
"There Is not a leading railroad
esldent in the whole land not
I enough to be a grandfather."
From this he deduces a moral:
nxpioyers today shun Shifters.
iud your sphere, then stick to it.
it has taken millions of years to
tevelop mankind, must we fret if
t takes a few years to rise above
he rank and file of mankind? Must
re quit if we don't get there quick

us disparagers
Washington,—Declaring that ef
forts to disparage the work of the
American Red Cross are being made
iu various sections of the counrty
as part of an antipatriotic propa
ganda, General Manager D. Wilson
telegraphed all Red Cross division
managers to begin a natiou-wide
campaisn to trace the movement
from i s source and combat it.
"It is evident that rumors and
innuendoes, critical of and calculat
ed to embarass the Red Cross are
being industriously circulated as
part of an antipatriotic propagan
da," the telgeram reads.
"The Red Cross is being run as
an open book; it has no secrets.
It Jrs making a sincere effort toi
serve mankind and is doing it as
carefully and economically as it
knows how. Its accounts are to
bo audited by the War Department
and utmost efforts are being made
'o give publicity to an its activi
ties."
