those -ALONG L I F E ' S - T R A I L f By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK I | DM» af m Uafrwatty * **" * H i l l I I I I I I I I HOLDING A JOB have never had • great many jobs, have had I have, so far as I now recollect, never myself • o u g h t F a t h e r gave me the first job I ever had-- forced it upon me if the truth were told--and left me no alternative bat to take it and hold It, and it wasn't » Job I cared for •ft all. The work was hard," the hours were long, and there was no monetary constderatlon involved. I was being kept-- that was adequate pay, father thought I held the Job for years without hope of being fired, though I was promoted to a position of greater responsibility en th« same pay. Stanton is fifty years old, he writes He has gone from one Job to another for the last thirty years. He has seldom been able to make more than a mere living and now at fifty he faces dismissal from the position which he now holds, and men at fifty, he says, have little chance of re-employment if they are so unfortunate as to be out of work. Joe Merton comes to 'my mind. Joe had about a sixth-grade education when he was forced to take the position, forty years ago, with the organisation with which he is still connected. Affairs at home made it incumbent upon Joe to get a Job. He got three dollars a week at the outset and he gets one hundred and fifty dollars a week now. Joe knew at the start that he had to hold his Job; the comfort of his family depended on it so he tried to learn a little every day about the work he was put in charge of. He tried every day to do his work better than he had done It before and he jvas not sensitive when occasion arose whether tike thing which needed doing was actually his Job or not. If it came in his way he did It cheerfully. No one ever lieard Joe say, "Well, it ain't my Job." He never drew the line closely as to what was and what was not his Job. v Through all the years since Joe first went with the organization he has tried to make himself useful, necessary, and efficient That's the way to feold a Job.

Automobile thieves are now making their appearance in earnest, but the figures Just Issued by the prefecture de police reveal that the racket Is still in Its Infancy In France. In 1929, 8,000 automobiles were stolen in France, but all except 493 were recovered within a short delay, either "being found abandoned in the streets or roads within a day or so, or having been discovered by the author* Itles after they were sold. Generally the machines stolen are of well-known French makes, Citroen*, Renantts, Peugeots, and all small cars. In some cases the crooks dono up the machines, repaint them, and make other slight alterations to camouflage them, but generally they do not even bother "to obliterate the serial numbers of chassis and body. They re!y on belling them quickly at a bargain, and generally the crafty purchasers ask no questions when they can buy a machine worth 15,000 francs in the open market for ten from an unknown character. With a million and a half automo- .blles in circulation In France, year's theft of 8,000, is lass than two per thousand. Until recently most owners did not Include a risk against theft in insurance. Dealers assert that because the overwhelming majority of cars in service in France are closed, permitting them to be locked easily every time they are left, also has a large part to do with keeping down the losses. The latest scandal is the syndicate to obtain driving licenses for applicants too timid or too backward to pass the tests. An official of the prefecture in collusion with one of the testers, stamped as passed examination the application of would-be drivers and sold them fear 1,800 francs Instead of the normal 30 francs charge. It is estimated there are 1,600 of these fraudulent licenses in existence.

It raises duties on many products shipped from the United States, and It prohibits the Importation of numerous articles except by written consent. The objects of the new legislation are stated to be reduction of unemployment, stimulation of manufacture In Australia by branch factories under foreign ownership, and stabilization of the exchange rates. "Australia's new tariff law, coming at the time of a revision of tariffs at home, arouses Interest in the origin of tariff systems and their development in various countries," says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. "No one knows wlien or where the first tariff Imposed or the first customs duties collected.

They were moved by a determination to resist the evil practices that they <few all about them in the needless destruction .of beautiful woods and streams and the ruthless slaughter o£ game and destruction of fish. Noting the changes that had taken place under their own eyes, they saw clearly that a continuance of these practices would soon put an end to all that was primitive and beautiful in outdoor life. "The movement started by these men who founded the first, the Chicago Chapter, has spread with a of a toll or duty from goods brought j rapidity that is in itself a witness to into a city or a country became lmpor-1 the fitness of their ideals and of the TTH/ 1to tant with the development of trade to a considerable volume. Although Babylon, one of the earliest civilisations of which we have a record, had a highly organised social system with a minute code of laws relating to deeds, leases, mortgages, taxation, and the like, it is not known what part customs played In the affairs of the government. A country's revenue In those days was chiefly from a tithe of the live stock and crops of Its citizens. Greece Exacted Duties. "Whon Greece held the most import tant place In the world, duties on commodities moving In trade had come to be an accepted tax. Export prohibitions had also come into use, chiefly as defense measures in time of war or as protective means to prepare against war. "Rome had little commerce in Its early days and allowed commodities to come and go freely. When expansion set In and trade grew, the government began to mold economic currents, often by direct methods. Some commercial rivals, such as Carthage and Corin were destroyed. Other conquered coun tries were divided Into districts and customs houses were set up at the dividing lines. Both exports apd Imports were taxed. "Rome's tariff system was probably closer to those in use today than any previous ones. The types of duties were the same that enter Into current tariff discussions: specific and ad valorem. A specific duty Is a charge per unit, aS 20 cents for each yard, or pound, or dozen of the commodity taxed. An ad valorem duty is a percentage of the value of the commodity. In the early days of the Roman empire the most common ad valorem rate was 5 per cent. Later it was raised to 12% per cent "Venice, the great trading republic of the Middle ages, carried on the Reman tariff theories and went further. Her object was to obtain a monopoly In the handling of eastern goods and to regulate by duties the trade with the West and North. Changed Trade Route. "The Mameluke rulers of Egypt held a strategic position in regard to eastern trade during the Middle ages, and put on as heavy duties as the traffic would hear. As a result of the tolls Imposed by them and by tribal chiefs In Arabia, Indian goods Increased 800 per cent In price between India and Europe. In the end the Mamelukes defeated their purpose. The Mongols, who gained control of en overland route farther north, charged lesser duties, and the trade flowed over the new route. After Vaaco da Gams found the ocean path to the East, both the Egyptian sad the overland route gave way to the cheaper, duty-free water route. "About this time Marco Polo, traveling in China, found that duties were charged there in the realm of the Great Khan. He found duties collected at city boundaries ss well as at provincial frontiers. These duties ranged from S 1-8 to 10 per cent. "In medieval Europe, tariffs became a nightmare to struggling traders. Every petty prince and feudal lord set up his toll gates and custom house* end took a share of the merchant's wares. After the feudal kings took over the barons' privileges there was a movement away from the collection of duties In every small area; but progress was slow, and In some countries, such as France and Germany* provincial customs continued to be levied. Even cities took toll from en-?, terlng goods. The local taxes of Paris ajje survivals of this custom." genuineness of their appeal to the American people. Thousands of chapters are now scattered all over the continental area of the United States and the original membership has been multiplied more than two thousand times. Of the famous Fifty Four, several have gone to their long rest, but the work moves on, gaining month by month in power and influence for good. "The road has not always been smooth, and yet the organization has passed safely over the rough places and finds itself possessed of a vigor that is rarely duplicated in so young an organization. Indeed, the League may rightfully claim to be the only nation-wide organization dealing with the problem of conservation in its manifold aspects. It Is also the largest, and, in public opinion, the most powerful organization of frequenters and lovers of the outdoor world that has ever been formed in our country. 'pi.
