The round peg in square hole or the
square peg in round hole is a concrete
illustration to show the impossibility of a
misfit making a success in life. Life is
full of misfts, of men and women trying
to fit in round holes which their angular
natures are not suited to. Most of the
flotsam and jetsam of our large cities are
failures through the early misft process.
The misft who fails in life is with us
always, but the successful misft is quite
another creature. He apparently breaks
all the laws of business and professional
life. He does not succeed. however. by

1t Appeals Strongly

By T. HASEkAWA,
DISTINGUISHED Artist of Japan.

To explain about American art is very difficult
for me, / am studying in it at present; therefore
it seems to me every year that my admiration for
American art is different that l do not willingly
express my opinion of it in public. But will express
few words from my standpoint.
| am surprised at the progress of American art
in the modern centuries believe American art will
conquer throughout international art in the fu-

CLAIMS GREAT DISCOVERY

Rudolph M. Hunter of Philadelphia claims
to have discovered the secret for which man
kind has been seeking vainly since the dayNof
the ancient Egyptians, that of the transmutation
of the baser metals into gold. What the process
is he alone knows; for even to his he has
confided only part of it. 1t is his intention
that the secret shall remain in his family.
If Mr.. Hunters claim be justified and he is rec
ognized as a responsible man with a wonderful
inventive genius he will demoraze the curren-
cy systems of all the countries in the world;
they will have to find new metal as the basis
of their currency, for if gold is produced in large
quantities it will depreciate in value more than
silver has done. 1t will be no more valu-
able than copper.
