The ownership of an automobile today
is recognized fas a sign of success.
The successful people in business and
in the crafts and professions ride in
motor cars.
It is quite often true that they
achieved a large measure of tijieir
success after they got the car; in
fact the car was the one thing need-
ful to assure success through its
time-saving, health-bringing, confi-
dence-inspiring attributes.
The man who says “I will buy a car
if I make some money this season”
is not likely to succeed so fast as
the man who says “I will buy a car
now and make more money this
year.” * Mtfllll

ental love inspires.
How natural, too, that the final

WRIST WATCH—a gift that is a
living thing—with every tick a heart
heat, delivering its devoted message
through a lifetime of service.
An Elgin possesses the three
supreme gift essentials — reliability,

whole world’s watch business insures

department had evolced a balanced
program incorporating the three main
features of child hygiene, physical
education and social hygiene, and she
urged the parents to pay a great deal
of attention to the program.
Dr. Parker of the social hygiene
section asserted a proper understand-
ing of social hygiene was necessary
for proper development of the child.
She declared the national congress
should urge training of the children :
for better parenthood, and inculcate .
in the children high sex ideals.
Miss Murphy urged the parents to
consider proper child health as in the
life of the child and not apart from
it. She also urged improved physi-
cal education in the high school cur-
riculums.
During the discussion of the after-
noon a delegate from the floor an-
nounced that four years ago when
Ohio had but 9000 members in its
Parent-Teacher organizations, it was
sixteenth in education, and today with
57,000 Parent-Teacher members it
ranks third.

President Vogelpohl of the Asso-
ciated Master Plumbers’ Association
Florida was second with 225 of Texas thinks the plumbers’ trade
ought to be taken more seriously by
the public. At the recent conven-
tion of the master plumbers at Dal-
las he protested against the effort,
often engaged in by the stage and
the newspaper “Colyumnists” to
make a joke of the plumber and his
trade. Mr. Vogelpohl ought to be
charitable enough to indulge the pub-
lic its little fun at the expense of the
plumbers, when they read their pa-
per, or attend the vaudeville show.
That is about th«| only time they
have a chance to laugh ;about the
plumber. It is an exceedingly mirth-
ful individual who feels like laugh-
ing at the plumber, when the latter
presents his hill. But, really, Mr.
Vogelpohl’s point about the public’s
understanding the importance of the
plumber’s service is well taken. in
the creation of modern convenience8,
he is indispensable. We are all of
us ready to take the plumber seri-
ously, when the water pipe breaks,
or gets clogged up. The influence
of the modern plumbing systems in
promoting health in congested cen-
ters is far-reaching. Without the
facilities which he creates and in-
stalls, the congregation of people in
great cities would be dangerous.
Without the plumber there would be
a recurrence of the deadly epidemics
that swept the cities of the ancient
and medieval world. The plumber
is the right hand man of the sanita-
rian and the scientists who special-
ize in the promotion of the public
health. The plumber is not appre-
ciated as he should be because his
work is often taken for granted.—
