But, once it begins to dawn upon you that you could go further in another occupation, it is time to change. The greatest advancement lies where your talents and interests are greatest. Charles Dawes, who made the under-slung pipe famous when he became Vice President of the United States, maght have been rel atively unknown if he had not changed his mind about the occupa tion he would follow. He was born in Marietta, Ohio, in 1865. He attended the public schools there and entered Marietta college, graduating at the age of nineteen. During the summer months he worked in a lumber yard, shifting lumber. It is easy to imag ine that without vision and analy sis, he might have set the proprie torship of a lumber yard as his goal. Dawes was always fond of music. He played both the violin and the piano, and music has been his chief diversion. He composed “Melody in A Minor” which Fritz Kreisler, famous violinist, included in his repertoire. Motorists Mutual Accident Insurance AUTO FARMy/ffoME PERSONAL Millen C. Geiger 257 S.

After college, Charles Dawes went to work in the engineering depart ment of the Toledo and Ohio Cen tral Extension railroad, working up to chief engineer in charge of con struction. He decided to study law, or he might have been simply a good civil engineer. Graduating from the Cincinnati School of Law, he practiced for some years and became interested in politics. Presi dent McKinley appointed him comp troller of currency and, after four years of service, Dawes organized the Central Trust company of Chi cago. He was general purchasing agent for the A. E. F. during the World war, and director of the budget bureau under President Harding. In 1924, he was elected Vice President of the United States under Coolidge. ©—WNU Service. A decrease of 14 per cent in the 1946 U.
