HOW TO BECOME A MILLIONAIRE

There is in London a 74-yoar-old man wl.o declares that, although he started business witnout a penny of capital and is now a millionaire several times over, he has never had to harbour a worry (reports the'Daily Mail).

He is Mr Theodore Gary, of Kansas City, the head of a group of independent American telephone companies, chairman and almost owner of a banking trust, and chairman of the Missouri Highways Corporation. ' For .the first time in .his life Air Gary is tailing a holiday—“just for a new experience,’’ lie explains.

It has been a somewhat flat experience, he told a reporter. In his pocket memorandum hook Air Gary has jotted down maxims he has evolved from experience. These are some of them, which he calls the valley of the shadow of success: — Determine to be prosperous. Be patient and the world is yours.

Hold your temper and vour tongue. When you have found that honesty and ability have met in a man you can generally trust him. It is not enough to he truthful ; it is essential, especially in business matters, to know what the truth is: Tell the truth to those entitled to know; to others tell nothing. Stretch,, stretch, stretch—morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Never allow yourself to think or aci as if you were in a hurry. Be content, hut not satisfied. Be particular, hut not critical. ■ ' Most of . the things we think w< know are wrong.
