Opportunity’s Still Here Despite Depression
The young chap who is just starting out to make his
way in the world these days faces a pretty tough prospect.
But before he gets through he is likely to find that he
couldn’t have picked a better time to make a beginning.
So at any rate says Charles M. Schwab who seems
to feel that since there isn’t any place for things to go but
up the |id who begins at the bottom now will find all
kinds of opportunities opening in front of him in the near
future.
Writing in the current issue of the Pictorial Review
Mr. Schwab points out that even though the depression
has been long and hard the world isn’t going to come to
an end day after tomorrow after all. America is not
suffering from a shortage of food and supplies; poten-
tially it is just as rich as ever. Sooner or later American
energy and intelligence will bring us back to times even
better than any we have had before.
This little song to be sure has been sung before.
But Mr. Schwab learned about the opportunities that ex-
ist in a depression from one of the greatest industrialists
that ever lived—Andrew Carnegie; for it was always
Carnegie’s custom to use a depression as a time for ex-
pansion a time for getting ready for a future boom.
In the panic of the ’70s when most industrialists were
busy at the wailing wall Carnegie kept hard at work
building new plants and getting ready to do a bigger busi-
ness than ever before. It was the same when the de-
pression of the '90s came along. Always Carnegie knew
that there would be an upswing; always he used hard
times as a period of preparation.
The result of course was that Carnegie became the
world’s greatest steel master—and. in the end. was able
to die rich after givii(f away $325000000. And the
young men who found j I ices with him during those by-
gone years of depression are not going hungry today.
Mr. Schwab incidentally is one of them.
** Figures—and Space
Albert Einstein’s statement that the earth is prob-j
ably 10000000000 years old instead of the 3000000000 j
or so which scientists had usually accepted as the correct
figure is one of those remarks that set the head of the
layman spinning.
Important as the difference may be to science these!
figures are simply beyond ordinary human comprehen-
sion. They are like the light years which astronomists
toss about so deftly; we cannot possibly realize their real!
magnitude we have no way of measuring the tremendous
distances they signify.
And yet—we like to read about them. What Einstein
or any other great scientist says about the age of the |
world or the construction of the universe is of absorbing!
interest even if we can’t really understand it. We share-
in the triumphs of the modern mind without comprehend-j
ing them.

Frohman'a Sanctum
Daniel Frohman's historic offices
in the Lyceum Theater are reach-
ed by one of those sardine eleva-
tors met so frequently in France
. . . And stopping between floors
at the most embarrassing mo-
ments—such as when a stranre
lady Is the other passenger. The
walls of Frohman’s ancient office
are lined with autographed photos
of everyone from presidents to
doormen . . .
Incidentally he has the only re-
ception room from which one can
look down upon the stage and tee
what is going on. A panel in the
floor slides out. as in a mystery
play and one peers down upon the
heads of actors. Frohman. when
producing would study the perfor-
mers during rehearsals and after-
ward without their being aware.
Thus he was able to make valuable
notes . . .

Once Over
By SL L PHILLIPS
„ 'JCCCM Story
“I have been sent by my mag-
azine to Interview you on the secret
of your success." said the writer as
he entered the office of T. Per-
simmons Finch. American business
man.
Mr. Finch looked a bit surprised
but consented to tell his story.
“What do you want to know?"
he asked.
"You entered the employ of the
company as an office boy and by
diligent attention to the Job won
steady advancement until you be-
came head of the corporation?”
suggested the writer.
"Not at all” snapped T. Persim-
mons Finch. “My wife’s lather
owned the business and shortly
after the marriage he took m« in
and started me at the top of the
ladder.”
"But you ultimately acquired the
business and under your direction
It expanded by leaps and bounds?”
suggested the writer.
"Wrong again” said Mr Finch.
"When the old boy retired about
ten years ago he left me the busi-
ness. and I didn’t expand it at all.”
‘What?” gasped the interrogate;.
“You didn't branch out enlarge
your factories broaden the scope
of your activities and develop new
lines of production?”
"Nope” said Mr. Finch. The
plant's the same as It was ten
years ago."
“Not exactly the same. Is it?
persisted the writer.
"Exactly” repeated Mr. Finch. “1
didn t add a foot of floor space or
ever remodel the executive offices.*
"Do you mean to sav that in the
last ten years you didn’t enlarge
the plant capacity?'*
"Yes sir.”
"Didn’t you tear down acres of
old buildings and erect more up to
*ite ones?."
"Not one” said Mr. T. Persim-
mons Finch somewhat proudly.
"Why not?” asked the Success
author quite puzzled.
"There was no need of it" replica
Mr. Finch. "The plan* was big
enough to take care of all the
business we had or were likely to
get.”

er. - you of course opened branch
factories around the country and
formed some subsidiary corpora-
tions for retail distribution. '
“Nope" said Mr. Finch.
"You must have merged with one
or more competitors reorganized as
a stock corporation taken the pub-
lic in as partners and. perhaps
even formed an affiliated invest-
ment trust.” pressed the writer.
“Say” cried Mr. Finch. ‘ Whos
telling this story you or I?"
“You are.-' assured the writer.
“Well then I did nothing of tnr
kind” he declared. "I kept the
business just as it was and never
changed the corporate structure in
any way.”
“Bui why?”
“Because we were doing plenty of
business meeting all the market
demands and getting a swell return
of the investment” explained Mr.
Finch.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XLI
'J’HE cow town of Radiant Is
known to the straggling riders
who come down out of the hills as
the ’’jumping-off place.**
It Is a short half day’s ride from
the Mexican border and It Is close
to the rough country on the north
and touches the edge of the burning
desert on the right In Radiant no
one asks questions of strangers and
the past of each resident is a closed
book. The test of a man Is bis
ability to ride aud rope.
Stan Ball leaned against a piank
bar and watched a half dozen Mexi-
cans playing poker with a deck of
greasy carda He was restless and
would rather have been riding In
the bills for one of the many big
outfits near town but he bad not
been able to get a job.
He had wandered from one cow t
town to another. Now be u«iu only
a few silver dollars left and he
would have to find a job. It might
as well be Radiant as any other
in the sun-baked country. Stan
thought. From now on he would
have to be within easy riding dis-
tance of the border.
Stan half turned upon one elbow
as the swinging doors of the pool
room creaked open. Few men of
interest came into a place like this
in the daytime but Stan had reason
to look every man over carefully
The man who entered was lank and
leathery a cow hand beyond doubt.
He was covered with dust and
plainly thirsty. He slapped a dollar
on the bar and called tor a glass
of something cold.
The sound of his voice made
Stan jump. With one great stride
he was at the stranger's side and
had slapped him on the back.
The cowboy whirled around and
put down his glass with a thump
“How are you. Malloy?’* Stan
grasped bis friend's hand.
"Hot dried up and mad.” Malloy
grinned as he recognized Ball. "But
darn glad to see you."
‘What brings you down here?"
Stan asked.
‘We’ll find a corner and I’ll tell
you why 1 dragged over all these
miles of half-baked grass land." He .
led Stan to a table across the room I
CTAN was eager to ask questions
^ but held bis silence and allowed
his friend to take his own time.
“1 just came down from Three
Rivers.” Malloy's mouth hardened
"There's a Job up there for you."
He looked Stan squarely in the eye
Stan shook his head. “I'll never
go back to Folly Mountain.”
“No?” There was a glint In Mai
loy's eyes.
Stan looked out toward the swing
ing doors and his face saddened
but he continued to shake his head
“Then i reckon I’ll have to shoot !
a man for you.” Malloy spoke slow
ly.
“You came all the wav down nere
to find me?” Stan demanded.
Malloy nodded. “And I'd have
been on the trail for a month if 1 j
hadn't been trekked in here by ac
cident.”
Stan hesitated a minute then
asked: “What s up?”
“Swergin Is raising the devil
Swears you are back." Malloy!
leaned an elbow on the table. “The
shooting is still going on up there." j
m
Sun's lean jaw shut with a snap
“And I get the blame?*' be de-
manded.
Malloy nodded. "Old Asper Is a
crook or a fool.”
Stan shook hie head. "I can't go
beck." he said slowly.
“You promised the girl?" Mal-
loy's eyes were sympathetic.
Stan smiled miserably and spread
bis hands in a helpless gesture
"I( 1 clean up this thing 1 have to
get the old man into it as well as
Swergin." His hands clenched sud
denly. “I should have shot it out
with that crook."
“You should have killed him”
Mailoy said simply.
Stan's eyes smoldered.
• • •
A f ALLOY got to his feet. "I know
how you feel kid. Now 1 got
a hard ride ahead of me."
"Where arc you headed for?" Stan
asked.
"I'm going back to Three River*
to kill myself a skunk.” Malloy
smiled.
Stan caught his friend's arm.
"You can t do that You have noth j
ing at stake not as much as 1
have.”
"I’ll put a stop to this double •
crossing." Malloy's eyes were hard
'I have stood by and watched all
1 can take."
"You'd do another man's Job?"
Stan looked Malloy squarely In the
eye.
"1 aim to in this case." Malloy
spoke firmly.
Stan gripped Malloy's arm and
jerked him around. "How is—the
girl?" be asked.
Malloy hesitated before he spoke
‘She's tine now."
Something in the lank cow
puncher’s eyes made Stan gup Mai-1
ioya arm savagely. "He hasn’t
touched her?" he rasped.
"Not yet." Malloy answered calm
ly. “And I aim to make sure he
don’t"
Suddenly a light of understand
mg broke over Stan Malloy cared
for Dona even as be cared for her
He was noi the man to say so and
no one but a man who knew nit i
type would have guessed It Malloy
was willing to do this for her with
out expecting her to ever know He
dropped the rider s arm awkwardly
and his voice softened
“What taa he done?" h* asked m
a voice as smooth as oil.
"You are supposed to nave shot
the roan out from under her. S»er
gio comes to tho rescue. She i*|
lying up there now still weak and
sick." Malloy's calm seemed to
have burst.
“Thinking me a skunk who could
not keep his word wno would shoot
her down from behind!” Stans
hunds closed and bis eyes biased
with sudden fury. "The rat!" he
gritted.
"I figured you should have the
first break at him." .Malloy smiled.
“But being as you don't want it I'll
be more than pleased to do the
job." He turned to face the door.
“And I aim to get there pretty
pronto."
• • •
CTAN laughed a harsh laugh that
^ mad® the bartender put down a
glass nervously and stare at the
pair In the corner.
‘ I'm on my way. teller.” he said
"and when I get to Three Rivers
you can expect action.”
Malloy grinned and slapped Stan
on the back. "I’ll trail along with
you aud see that this is done ac-
cording to the law aud the
prophets.”
“You better sleep In for s day.
1 won't be stopping except to feed
and rest the mare a bit ” Stan was
sure Malloy had ridden steauily
iu his search for him.
Malloy rubbed the back of bit
neck thoughtfully. "My Drone is
pretty sore and tired. He d be apt
to alow up a lot.” He faced Stan.
"Got 40 bucks?”
Stan tithed out three silver dol-
lars and a couple of quartern
"That Is my pile” be said ruefully
He extended it to Malloy.
Malloy shoved the money back.
Thought If you bad 40 bucks 1
might buy me a fresh boss and ride
along.” He tried to bide bis disap
point ment under a wide grin "but
you run along 1 have lack enough
to carry me through but not enough
to buy a horse that would keep up
with ibat black mare.”
"Sorry." Stan spoke with genuine
regret.
“You better get a move on." Mai-
ivy said ‘Til browse around bere
for a while and then bunt up a
bed.”
They shook hands silently and
parted. Stan hurried out to the
town corrals and whistled to the
black mare. She came running to
him and be saddled her rapidly
“We got a lob. Iady.“ be wnls
pc red to the mare. “We re going
back to God s country” be added
