They are as old as the race; and yet new in the experience of every individual member of it.

They break rudely into conversations of husbands and wives, causing sudden silences. They thrust themselves between the faces of men and their little ones with quick stabs of apprehension.

Three gnawing fears: -the fear of the loss of health -the fear of the loss of the job -the fear of a dependent old age.

Youth laughs at all three fears. Health seems boundless then; the job a mere game; and old age lost in the far, dim future.

turn in large numbers to the Alexander Hamilton Institute.

For this is a distinguishing characteristic of the Institutea fact which makes it unique among the forces of business training.

The men who turn to it are not boys; their average age is a little over thirty; and eighty-five per cent of them are married.

They are attracted to the Institute as it enables them thru the teaching of all the fundamentals of business to safeguard themselves against two of the Three Great Fears-loss of a job and dependent

old age.

For years the Institute has devoted itself exclusively to the single work of training men for higher executive positions in business-the positions that de-' mand a knowledge of the fundamentals that underlie all business-the positions which banish the fear of the loss of a job or dependent old age.

The Institute offers no training for specialized tasks of narrow opportunity. It has only one course of executive training.

The kind of men enrolled THE proof of the Institute's power is

found in the men who are now moving forward to larger success with the help of its training. Among its thousands of subscribers are such men as H. F. Harris, President and General Manager of the Bethlehem Motors Corporation; William D'Arcy, former President of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World; Stephen B. Mambert, VicePresident Thomas A. Edison Industries; I. C. L. Fish, Professor of Railway Engineering, Stanford University; John G. Wood, President Midwest Engine Com

THE OUTLOOK COMPANY

SUCH bits of salesmen’s

experience as are quoted below, are representative of the spirit of the JohnsManville Sales Organization.

When Johns-Manville salesmen are assembled in conventions all over the land, these close-ups" of personal experiences in everyday serving and selling come to light.

From note books, reports, 'or even from memory, come incidents which indicate more truly than anything else the kind of men they are and the type of institution they represent.

Each of these men in his territory is the Johns-Manville Company to a certain group of people. Collectively, these "waste-killers" are Johns-Manville Service -humanized.

So in presenting these little human experiences, we are hopeful that those who as yet may not know this company, through its men, may gain in part at least the regard for them that thousands with whom' we do business, already have.

"Our Brake Lining is too good” J. T. J. Garage says, "Our lining lasts too long." A hard one to come back at, because the answer sounds like preaching. Told him that even though he sells less of our brake lining per customer, per year, he'll be building the kind of confidence that makes more customers.

Either the advertising or the brake lining itself is making people ask for Johns-Manville instead of just' brake lining-maybe both.

A piece of chalk that saved $5,000.00 Tuesday went through a plant where they had a lot of dryers and other equipment representing thousands of square feet of bare, hot surfaces. Drew a small square with chalk on one dryer wall and.bet the engineer that one ton of coal a year was lost in wasted heat. Proved it with our tables-in fact, the figure should have been 1.6 tons. We start insulat-' ing all his dryers 2 weeks from today. He's glad I came in, he says.

Confusion between
Asphalt and
Asbestos

Saw a man today who swore he bought Asbestos Shingles in flexible strips. He didn't have Asbestos Shingles at all. Very much disgusted when I showed

him how much more durable and better looking and fire safe the Johns-Manville Asbestos Shingle would have been.

There's a lot of confusion between asphalt and asbestos shingles in the public mind. I notice our advertising is trying to straighten this out.

Here's a funny one

Saw two pumps exactly alike in engine room, Hotel

To start one, you had to open the steam valve two turns, then kick the rod before she'd move.

The other pump started easily with turn opening of the valve. Good idea to prove reduced packing friction when our Sea Rings are used instead of ordinary packing. Also less loss of steam power, saving in rcd and packing wear.

EXIT CARRANZA

T

HE capture of the capital of Mexico does not always mean the complete triumph of the faction taking it, but in the present case it is safe to assume that the fall of Mexico City, plus the reported seizure of the President by the rebels, means the end of the régime of Venustiano Carranza. Armed men in the nondescript uniforms of the rebels entered Mexico City at noon of May 9. Carranza, who had fled from the capital several days before, may have been captured before the troops of Gonzales and Obregon entered Mexico City.

What is perhaps the oldest city on the American continent is not very easy to. defend. The water which guarded it when it was the capital of the Aztecs has dried up, and to-day, once an army has got over the mountains into the Valley of Mexico, the penetration of the capital is not a difficult matter.

Carranza has had just six years of power. On May 13, 1914, Tampico fell before the powerful advance of the army of Francisco Villa. Torreon, Chihuahua, Juarez, and other northern cities had been captured in rapid succession by the Carranzistas. American forces had occupied Vera Cruz on April 21, and President Huerta was preparing to make the flight which Carranza has just failed to accomplish.

This much can be said for Don Venustiano. Not one out of ten of the American correspondents who used to report

the

pompous statements he made in the battered Pullman car which was his headquarters in the early days of 1914 ever thought that the "First Chief," as he then called himself, would hold the power he was then winning for one-half of the six-year period he actually has held it.

Carranza himself favored limiting the term of Mexico's presidents to four years. It was characteristic of him, however, that he exercised the powers of a dictator under the comparatively unimposing title of "First Chief" for many months before he sought the more formal tenancy of the national palace.

Carranza's most conspicuous trait, obstinacy, was the one that made him most of his enemies among foreign na tions, and yet it was the trait mainly responsible for his successes in Mexico.

The future in Mexico is uncertain. Unfortunately, there is much reason to beieve that the rebel forces may fight mong themselves. The largest revolu

tionary group, and the one which started this revolt against Carranza, is the group which supports the ambitions of General Alvaro Obregon. Sonora, the first State to secede in the recent movement, is for Obregon. But the party of General Pablo Gonzales is not weak. The armies of Generals of Generals Obregon and Gonzales are reported to have entered Mexico City from different directions almost at the same time. According to the newspapers, the two Generals have declared that they will stand together and will elevate to office a provisional President until the regular "election" can be held. But there is the rub! It is no secret

International

PRESIDENT CARRANZA, OF MEXICO

that both Gonzales and Obregon want to be the next regular President. Both are strong men. Obregon has the impetuosity and hammer-and-tongs way of doing which he got with his dash of Irish blood. Gonzales's methods are less spectacular but no less effective. Obregon has more personal magnetism, Gonzales has the better mind. To-day Obregon unquestionably has the larger following, but in a country in which personal popularity is notoriously ephemeral this fact is not too much to be counted on.

And then there is Villa. His actual followers are not numerous. But a man who has kept his life and liberty with a price on his head for some twenty years is not to be ignored. The support of the Villistas thrown one way or the other might prove to be decisive in the event of open hostilities developing between Gonzales and Obregon.

By his reply, on May 9, to this telegram the President has put an end to all hope of ratifying the Covenant of the League of Nations by a non-partisan vote. He condemns unequivocally "the Lodge reservations as utterly inconsistent with the Nation's honor and destructive of the world leadership which it had established." He calls upon the Democratic party "to try, without flinching or turning at any time away from the path for reasons of expediency, to apply moral and Christian principles to the problems of the world." He declares that "the League of Nations is the hope of the world" and that we cannot in honor whittle it down or weaken it, as the Republican leaders of the Senate have proposed to do." In short, he assumes that the League which he has formulated and proposed without either the advice or the consent of the Senate must be adopted as it stands without giving consideration to any changes which the Senate may advise and without any endeavor to secure from the Senate its cordial and willing consent. The reply which we wish the Republican
