£10,000 A YEAR POSTS.

r- ' I M ...J

« FEW MEN AVATLABIiE TOR 810 JOBS. Kir Albert Stanley complains that thero aro not enough £10,000 a year men to occupy £10,000 a year posts. Mr Kennedy Jones, M.P., interviewed by tho "Daily News" on the question. said that over 99 per cent, of the world was composod of £4 a week men. "Tho trouble is," ho said, "that most people only ask for a livelihood, with sufficient money to buy food, tobacco, and \o go to the pictures. Ambition is needed, nnd imagination. Unfortunately, neither of those attributes can bo produced by education. They are born in people. "The solution might bo found in eugenics. Wo breed racehorses with the utmost care. Whv shouldn't we take a little care about tho breeding of the typo of man who is needed for really big executive management, and who can't be found? Tho characteristic to cultivate is love of work, work for work's sake, nnd not for a living.

"The men who earn £10,000 a year aro generally men to whom the job is everything and tho salary is nothing. They liavo no time to spend their money. They eventually become millionaires simply because they love thoir work more than anything else in life. Thero aro plenty of openings. lam convinced of that. Take, for instance, the question of London's traffic system; the waste involved has been estimated as high as £20,000,000. If von find a man who enn solve that, antl handle the traffic, he's worth anything. But ho must bo soaked in his job, and have an ambition to achieve something. That's the one condition for a £10,000 a vrar man.''

Sir Albert Stanlev. interviewed, said that he quite agreed with Mr Kennedy Jones.

"But it is not enough to bo born." he added. "These men must also bo disrovored and trained. There is a vast field of latont talent which only needs finding out and training to fill all these posts. The difficulty of finding £10,000 a vear men is a difficulty not only of transport, but of the whole industrial world generally, not only of this countrv. but of everv country, especially of America. All great undertakings"tend to grow greater and call for big mon. They are almost impossible to find at present. No—he concluded—l havo had no applications for the vacancies so far!" People with colds who want a enre that is quiek. pleasant, and cives immediate relief, should try "NAZOL.'" Price Is 6d. 2
