You’re going to iiml big men around you when you estab lish your kingdom; our ambition is to sit on either side of you. one on your right, baud and tile othei a. your left.” Who can object to that attitude? If a man fails to look after him self. certainly no one will look after him. If you want a big place, go ask for it. That' the way to git ahead. Jesus answered with a sentence which sou' ds poetically absurd. “Whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister,” he said, “and whosoever 1,1 you will be t hi- ehiefest, shall be servant of all.” A fine piece of rhetoric, now isn’t it? Lie a good servant and you veil! he gnat; be the best pos sible servant end ■ y< a occupy the highest possible place, Nice ideal istic talk but utterly impractical; nothing to take seriously in a com mon sense v.-rd. That is just what nun thought for some hun dreds of years; and thin. quite suddenly, Uueiness woke up to a meat discovery. INSTALLMENT NXXII An Old Idea You will hei.r the discovery that Business woke up to proclaimed in every sales c<*. venfien as some thing distinctly modern ami Up to date. It rs emblazoned in the ad vertising pages of every ntagarine. Look through those pager. Here is the advertisement of an automobile company. one of the greatest in the world. Aid why is! it gicatest? On vhr.l does it base 'tr. claim to leadership? On it huge factories and financial strength? i They are never men tioned. On *« army of workmen or its high salnied executives? You might read its advertisements tor years without suspectiig that it had cither. No. “We are great because of ouV service,” the ad vertisements cry. “We will crawl under your cm of tenor and got our hack:, dirtier than any of our com IH’titiors. Drive up to our service stations and ask for anything at all—it will be granted cheerfully. We .erve; therefore we grow.” A manufacturer of shoes makes the same boast ill other terms. “We put our.-clvcs at your feet and give you everything that you can, possibly demand.” Manufactur ers of building eeilipnient, ot clothes, of food; presidents of 1 ailroiuis and steamship companies, the heads of banks and invest ment houses—all of them tell the same story: ‘Service is what we are here for.” they exclaim. They call if the “spirit of modern lnisi , ess;" they suppose, most of them, that it is something very view. But Jesus preached it more than nineteen hundred years ago. One ufferneen in a Pullman ear the life George W. Perk ins was talking about the reasons why men succeed and fail. 1 am aimuved by some 01 tlie young men who ask’ me to use ray turns or inert uses in salary,” he raid. "Such an attitude on their: . part slvowa an ah elute failure of j understand the fundamentals of. success.

But how docs true j sound ? ”if you’re forever thinking about saving your life,” Jesus said j “you’ll lose it; hut the man who loses his life shall find it.’V Because he said it and he was a religious teacher, because it’s printed in the Bible, the world has dismissed it us high minded ethics hut not hard headed sense. But | look again! What did Perkin j mean if it wasn’t that he and his | friends buried themselves in their i great undertaking, literally lost j their lives in it? And when they found their lives again, they were all of them bigger and richer than they had ever supposed they eoulJ be. Would such success have come to them if they had beep careful amount themselves? “We mustn’t overdo this thing.” they might have said. “This is a good company and deserves to grow, but every man must look out for his own {interests. Just what is there going to be in it for us?” With such an attitude they might have moved up to well paid positions; but never to outstanding success! What diu Henry Ford mean, one spring morning, when he tipped a That sounds sensible—good bus , kitchen chair back again-* th whitewashed wall of his tractor I plant and talked about his career? “Have ypu ever noticed that the man who starts out in life with a det-wmir ifioi. to make money, never make, very much"” he ask ed. It wa: rather a startline: ques tion; mid without waiting for my continent he went on to answer it: "lie n;ay gather togeihar a com petence., of course, a few tens of thousands of eve r. hundred- of Ihousand'', hut he'll never amass .'a really great fortune.

A typical test is one run with a Hudson over a 992 mile course from September 24 to October 22, 1925. This test showed a 27.1% increase in oil mileage; 12.4% increase in gas mileage; smoother operation of the motor at all speeds; more power; less drag on the hills; better lu brication and cooler motor; no carbon. Verify these astonishing results in your own car. Get your crank-case filled today at a “Standard” Service Station or dealer. Then expect results. You can actually feel the difference. 7 Advantages of "Standard” Motor Oil 1. Constant lubrication. 2. Minimum friction. 3. Less “breaking - down” under load or at high speeds. 4. More miles per quart of oil. 5. Better hill climbing — smoother operation. 6. Negligible carbon. 7. Actual saving in gasoline.
