Show GIVING OUR WORLD THE o nee Over "If six men paid a woman's expenses ex-penses because one could not support sup-port her alone, nothing under heaven hea-ven could prevent her from having a favorite among them, shutting her eyes, and imagining the others were he." from Yankee Hobo In The Orient. Nor, one might add, male vanity being what it is, could anything under heaven prevent each one of them from believing that none but he could possibly be the favorite. The Motivating Force A survey shows that 61 of high school students consider individual incentives unnecessary for the functioning fun-ctioning of our economic system. A more flagrant example of failure to understand the motivating force behind all living beings would be hard to imagine. It isn't that the students only show ignorance of the workings of the economic system. What they show is ignorance of the motive which underlies human endeavor of all kinds, in people of every professed Ideological belief. The students fail to understand, or at least have mis-interpreted, even their own Instinctive reactions to factors in their own environment. Individual incentive, based on self interest, is the only force in economics which impels anyone to do anything. It is hard to imagine what sins of omission, or commission, commiss-ion, in teaching led so many students stu-dents to such a false conclusion. Even collectivists, who like to kid themselves that they have a-bandoned a-bandoned crass self interest in favor of the common good, are, actually, moved by self interest. They think they would be better off' under a system of collectivism. Individual incentive works with them as well as others. They are guilty of gross misinterpretation of their own motives, to the point or intellectual dishonesty. Even the slaves of Russian collectivism, col-lectivism, individually, are moved by the instinct of self preservation, the desire to survive, in obeying their masters. Denied the happy incentive of the hope of personal gain for good work, which free men take for granted, they do such work as they are driven to do because only thus can they hope to survive, in the forlorn hope that they may live to know a better way. Individual incentive the right to enjoy the fruits of one's own labor is what impelled Americans Ameri-cans as a nation to the prodigious efforts which created the world's highest standard of living. Collectivism, by denying the industrious, in-dustrious, intelligent man the advantages ad-vantages coming from his own industry, in-dustry, turns the incentive principle prin-ciple backward, to the advantage of the slothful. Under it the shirker gets the most in proposition to what he gives. The result is a gradual, but sure, erosion of the constructive, creative tendencies, and a lower standard of living, as well as smothering of all happy creative effort. The instinctive desire to gain something for oneself, the incentive incen-tive principle, is the only force which can build a great nation, a high standard of living, and a free, happy people. It is a shocking shock-ing thing if understanding of this fact has not been instilled in more than 39 of our high school students. stu-dents. The Minuend And The Subtrahend Are you an adding machine puncher? pun-cher? And is yours a machine that has a multiple-row keyboard and is intended only to add straight columns of figures? If so, and if it is equiped with the customary keys marked Repeat, Error, Non-Add, Non-Add, Sob-Total, and Total, the chances are you can, by employing a few tricks, make it do quite a lot of calculating for you besides simple addition. By Dick Morrison You can multiply with it, for sure. To do so, just set up the multiplicand on the keyboard, press the Repeat key, and pull the handle as many times as indicated by the firstfigure, on the right, of the multiplier. Continue 'by setting up the multiplicand again, this time moving each figure one column col-umn to the left, and repeat as indicated by the next figure in the multiplier. Follow this system to its logical conclusion, and take the Total. This may or may not prove quicker and easier than working the problem out with a pencil. You can, of course, add, or even multiply, fractions, by changing them to decimal equivalents, though tho-ugh when multiplying these you must count off final decimal places in your hea3. Then again, it is possible to add two columns of figures at once, though you must leave two or three blank columns between them so the totals will not conflict. This can be useful in adding feet and inches, or hours and minutes, for instance. Minus items are often encountered encount-ered in long columns of figures, and for this reason, subtraction often comes in handy. This is a more involved process than the others, but once the technique is mastered, it becomes one of the most useful of all. The following is taken partly from a rule book, which gives the actual process, through the use of the Non-Add key for a unique purpose in checking chec-king is one I devised myself last night while piddling with my own machine. The rule for "subtracting by means of addition", or, as it is called, indirect subtraction, is as follows. A little practice will make it easy after the operator learns from his own mistakes: Rule: Set up the minuend on the keyboard, and pull the handle. Then, beginning at the right, set up the difference between the first subtrahend digit and 10. Then set up the difference between each of the remaining subtrahend digits and 9.Set up 9 in all the vacant columns in the left of the keyboard. key-board. Pull the handle. Take a total. The figure showing as the total is the remainder you wanted. On some machines, a digit 1, followed fol-lowed by some ciphers will be shown on the left Disregard these. Example: If the minuend was 55.55 and the subtrahend was 33.33, the process might result in showing a total figure as 10022.22. Obviously, 22.22 would be correct, as the remainder. re-mainder. The figure set up in place of the subtrahend is, of course, not that in fact, but is the "complement" of it. The setting up of the complement comple-ment may seem at first to involve more mental subtraction than working wor-king the problem itself, but I solved sol-ved that difficulty by stickingpi-that stickingpi-that difficulty by sticking pieces eces of white adhesive on the case of my machine, and printing numerals num-erals on them in ink. These serve as a guide to which keyes to press to set up the complement on the keyboard. The ones on the right of the keyboard show which keyes to press for the first digit, (not including ciphers), on the right, while those on the left apply to all other columns, including both digits and ciphers. Now, since it is easy to make mistakes in setting up the complement, comple-ment, at least until one gains con siderable experience, I devised a method of taking a quick and easy check on the correctness of the complement. Following the printing prin-ting of the minuend on the tape, I set up the true subtrahend and print it next, using the Non-Add key. This places it on the tape for reference without fouling up the calculation. Then I set up the complement which is done very is t.-C ... MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta, Utah. Thurs.

Then, by taking the "total", the true remainder is printed. To check tTie accuracy of the complement, and through it, of the whole calculation, it is necessary necess-ary to prove only that the true subtrahend plus the complement equal a "round" figure, such as 100000.00. Since these appear on the tape one above the other, the operator can tell at a glance if they add up to a round figure, or he can check them by machine addition after the machine has been cleared, on the same piece of tape or another one. To illustrate, a problem in subtraction, sub-traction, done by this method, will appear on the adding machine paper tape like this: 617.51 35.75 999G4.25 100591.79 The 617.54 is the minuend, 35.75 the actual subtrahend which is printed on the tape "non-add" for checking purposes only, 99964.24 is the complement of the subtrahend, subtrah-end, and 591.79 the answer. Setting up of the complement is the only operation where fallibility of the operator could enter in, and, since the complement and the true subtrahend obviously add up to the round figure of 100000.00, the answer shown is correct. Now anyone following the Rule for indirect subtraction stated a-bove, a-bove, to the letter, could only come up with the correct answer. But in case of trouble, the two following notes will prove helpful: Note 1. 1 there is a 9 in the subtrahend, set up a cipher as the complement unless the 9 is the extreme right hand digit, in which case set up a 1, which is the difference dif-ference between 9 and 10. This is the same rule as applies to all digits. Note 2. When one or more cip-hersoccupy cip-hersoccupy the right hand columns of the subtrahend, set up a cipher as the complement in each case. But when there is a cipher at the left of a digit in the subtrahend, set up a 9 as the complement of the cipher. It is suggested that people who use adding machines clip this item and save it for reference until they learn the technique. What? You'd rather buy a machine that can do direct subtraction? Well, don't say I didn't try to give a helpful hint to make a cheaper machine do the same work. And I still say anyone who follows this to the letter will surely wind up with the correct figure.
